In the opluluu of II. T. Snell, who
tuts made a study of city and couutry
road* in tweuty states in the lust y ear,
mure good roads will be built ill lull
sue during the next twelve moiitbs
tbau iu any other state in the I nion.
Mr. Buell investigated road conditions
for the Stuudurd Oil company. The
big trust la seeking u market for Its
surplus of oli left after the more val
uable products have been taken from
it. The surplus oil is now sold ebletly
for fuel.
“The company expects to build a
mile of good road near the State Agri
cultural college at Manhattan, Kan.,”
Mr. Snell said. “We expect to show
by the experiment that an oiled road,
whether built with earth or crushed
rock, Is not only the most durable, but
in the end is the most economical.
“In every state there is uunually
spent millions of dollars in building
new roads. In few cases Is any con
siderable sum spent on the roads to
preserve them. Oiled roads are not
only dustless, mudless and noiseless,
but they are practically ‘self healing’
that Is, they improve with use. The
dirt and oil roads give horses good
footing, while the tires of the vehicles
‘iron out’ the hoof marks.”
Experiments made on Kansas City
boulevards and on roads In Jackson
county, which were coated with oil,
have been watched by men and or
ganizations interested in good roads.
The use of oil on boulevards find roads
in Jackson county was among the ear
Iler experiments In its use. Adopted
for use to prevent dust, It was found
that oil also is a preservative. In bit

sioners on the use of oils on Kansas !
City boulevards, W. II. Dunn, superin I
tendent of parks, said the results were
“remarkable."

The Palace of Oriental Exhibits forms one of the twelve mammoth dis
play buildings first completed by the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
its lines are in pleasing contrast to the Agricultural and Manufacturers
buildings, with which they are grouped, and their position overlooks the
beautiful formal gardens and water display of the Cascades and Geyser
Basin.
The exhibit placed within the walls of the Oriental building consti
tutes one of the most gorgeous displays of Far Eastern art and manu
factured articles ever shipped from the Orient, and is bewildering in
beauty and extent. Not a country of Asia is without representation, and
treasures of old and modern art, never before permitted to leave the
lands in which they were created, will be seen for the first time in the
land of the Occident. The matter of arrangement of the Oriental exhibit
has been placed in the hands of the most competent and artistic men at
command and its display will be worthy of the magnificent collection.
About the Oriental building are gathered the great buildings housing
the United States exhibit and the Alaska, Hawaiian and Philippine dis
plays. O' ■ of the largest bandstands is within cluse distance, and from

After the grading was completed and
the roadbed »as well formed where tills
ueie required the entire road, one fourth
mile in length and thirty feet wide, was
plowed to a depth of about four and one-

with a harrow and disk.
A disk, set
straight, was run before the oil sprin-
kling tank to open small furrows, and a
harrow followed the oil sprinkling tank to
thoroughly mix the soil and oil.
Tire oiling was done the first days of
O tober. The oil was not heated. The
tank of 500 gullonn would cover about
8,800 square yards once. The harrow fol

It was firm, but not

marks plainly outlined, but did not tear
up the soil even when driven at a quick
trot.
One reason for building the road In the
fall was to note the effect of freezing
weather. The road was nut seriously af

It seemed that the coating of
oiled soil kept the underlying soil suffi-
i clently dry to prevent serious heaving by
frost.

The cost of the roads varied from

more than 1 cent, representing the oil,

Mr. Dunn estimated
that the cost of sprinkling the area

116,207.32.
The expense of oiling
this ares was $10,671.44. The direct
saving in using oil was $5,538.88, or 34
per cent. The indirect benefit follow

for the development of the most Im
