THE COMING OK HUGHES
The opportunity accorded the peo
ple of Josephine county to aee and
kear Charle Evans Hashes, a fore
most citisea of the United States, will
-certainly be grasped by a large part
of the population. Hashes, aside
from the fact that he is the nominee
of the leading political party oftbe
Tnited States for president, has von
notable distinction stamping him a
one of the greatest thinkers and doers
of the day. As governor of the state
of Nev York he knew so master
other than the public weal, and his
fearlessness In the line of doty made
hla the hatea Nemesis of the evil
doer. With a united party behind
him. a party that easts. 1,100.000

la practically assured of election next

the
cost of the road, without detracting
from Its wearing qualities In the
least, they contend.
The road-bed should be of porous
material, well-drained, and should be
free from clay or loam.
Grades exceeding 6 feet to every
100 feet of road are considered ex
cessive for heavy traffic.
A special recommendation Is made
by tbe office of public roads that the
.urrace crossing of railroad tracks be
eliminated through culvert or over
bead bridges.
Trap rock is considered by the gov
ernment experts as the best for road
bulldlng purposes, although some
granites and the harder llmetstones
give good results. Tbe United States
office of public roads tests samples of
rock submitted to it without charge,
and furnishes advice as to tbe fit
ness of any sample for road-building.
Tbe cost Is entirely dependent' on
local conditions and the avallabllty
of materials. However, an estimate
