Apropos if the deelsloii of tin
council to tiptinkli' the business streets
with crude nil In an effort to rlil the
city of dust, the following comment
by a well-known ttootl mads puhliea
tlon wll doubtless prove of Interest
to every property-owner In Pallas.
The mini nuisance on oilcil macadam
roads has been nivlne municipal en
gineers Kray hairs for many seasons
past, and with the coming of the dry
season the problem attain confronts
them In Its most serious aspects. The
writer of the article says:
"A (titration that Is once more
perplexing municipal engineers In ev
ery city not having; smooth-surface
thoroughfares Is, 'What shall we do
this season to cope with the dust nuls
onec on macHdamixed streets?
Mini Wornf Than Pii-I.
"Probably the most Renerally adopt
ed plan has been the sprinkling- of the
macadam with some asphaltic oil. It
has been demonstrated that where
horse-drawn traffic does, not predomi
nate, such sprinkling Is a success la
. preventing disintegration and undue
wear by building up a riiblwry traffic
mat on top of the stone.
"lint in i scaping from the chorua of
complaints of the dust nuisance, the
engineer runs foul of a new s t of pro-
testa from indiicnant rltliens who find
carrlaxe varnish, clothing, and floor
coverings ruined by the black, greasy
m n A whieh covers these roads after
wry hard rain.
"The cause of this nuisance has Wen
variously explained, but the condition
haa seldom been remedied. It haa now
been shown that asphallic oils and
water will form an emulsion when
ever rollodiat matter l.ke clar la add
ed. Thia is what happena to the asphalt-bound
traffic mat undrr the
soaking of rain and the kneading of
traffic. Considerable loam and later
are carried onto the road la the course
of ordinary traffic, and the rains and
wheel complete the process. After
the rain haa ceased the emulsion
rradual'.r dries out, and the traffic mat
eventually becomes t effective av
before, but It is asaln converted to
mud by the next heavy storm. When
the mat contains a large proportion
of bitumen and is dense and rubbery
this emulHilylnt,' is delayed, but only
delayed. When the mat arrows older
and so much dirt and litter have been
Ki'oimd into It that the proportion of
bitumen is lowered, then its earlier
water-shedding qualities are lost and
its surface is slimy, slippery and
nasty after every shower.
All Kcnicdlc Ineffective.
'Several remedies are conceivable.
but practical objections arise to all of
them. For Instance, before applying
the binder great care must be paid to
removing the last traces of line dust
and litter and in throwing on gravel.
small stone or screenings as a filler.
The linest dust is to be discarded.
.Moreover, mis tiner must be of a
material not easily reduced to an im
palpable powder under traffic. Every
mtans must be taken to prevent the
carriage of dirt or litter onto the
traffic mat., as by providing frequent
ly cleaned approaches. The unavoid
able accumulations of dirt and litter
must be removed before each storm.
More oil should perhaps be added
from time to time during the season
to keep the blluitRii percentage and
the water shedding qualities of the
mat unimpaired. The expense Involv
ed in tlnse measures is obvious.
"So impractical, therefore, seem
all the present expedients for pre
venting this greasy mud that
trouble seems like a necessary
weath.r evil of oiled macadam.'

Placing Itself squarely on record
against any proposed consolidation of
the State University and the State
Agricultural College, the Oregon
trange will use its influence in build
ing up and strengthening the two
state schools in their present respect
ive locations. The action of the
grange in going farther and con
demning the referendum as applied to
state institutions makes it clearly ap
parent that the foes of the university
need expect no aid from the members
of that body In the attempt to hold
up the legislative appropriation.
This action of the grange, which
has just adjourned Its annual session
at Koseburg, Is of more than ordin
ary Interest. While the Portland
Commercial club has been credited
with the origination of the plan to
refer the proposed consolidation to a
committee of representative citizens
to be appointed by the Governor, It
now appears that the eransrera were
the first to devise this method of be- I
curing desired information. At the I
111 session of the state grange, a
committee was named to make in
quiry Into the feasibility of consoli
dating the atate university, the nor
mal school and the agricultural col
lege. The committee consisted of A.
T. ltuxton. H. G. Starkweather and
Urn. A. II. Stephenson.
The report of the committee adopt
ed by the grange, gives the nositinn
of the organisation clearly In the
matter. The committee found the
proposed consolidation unwise. It
recommended that the work of each
school be defined by law, that the
management be free from politics,
that money be furnished by direct
taxation Instead of by appropriation
by the legislature, that the proposed
investigation begun by Governor West
be continued In an effort to put the
institution on a safe footing.
Getting Phlk- Opinion. -In
iu Investigations the committee
found that communities have aided
the state institution and thus have
claims on the location of each, that
great loss would follow the discontin
! uance of any of the buildings and the
. abandonment of any of the land. The
committee addressed communications
i to 100 prominent educators of the
country to get their ideas on consoll-
I dation. In addition, letters were sent
to 200 men and women of Oregon,
i asking for opinions on the proposed
change. The opinion .expressed fa
vors separate institutions.
The committee found the value of
the agricultural college property to be
about $1,271,242, of which amount
about one-half is represented In
buildings. The university property is
shown to be worth about $735,000, of
which buildings represent $293,000.
C't of Higher Education.
In states where combined institu
tions are the rule, the per capita cost
of higher education is shown to be:
California, $371; Illinois, $343; Wis
consin, $398. In states where sepa
rate institutions are maintained the
cost is; Iowa, $318; Kansas, $185;
Michigan, $2 85; Washington, $182.
In Oregon the cost for the last four
years was $213.
In dealing with the referendum as
applied to state institutions, the com
mittee says: "it is an obstructive, .a
tearing down measure, only,' and It
can never by any possibility serve any
constructive purpose in helping to de
termine what the proper limitations
of the. work of an institution shall
be."
