Tlm npkeeji Is neg lected and almost beforo they know it thn surface Is gone, the bottom has been undermined and tbn work bat to bn done agalu at the extmntn of tlio tnxpaynr. To overcome this evil there seems to bo but onn remedy the pa trol tyttem. Properly orgs n I red, this method of handling thn roads will bo found Inexpensive and efficient, tlio road once constructed properly being kept continuity In nt good condition as when new. Authority Is distributed among too many stipcrvitort in thn majority of cases and each Is given a free hand for the maintenance of the roads of his district as bent bo tees in Mexico Presents challenge the eye of the passing touritt as do those of our own country.

JFRPP T. rARKPR, Mgr, MISSOy-A, MONTANA fit, A contrnliaing of the authority in tlm county court teemt to have been tlm most effective method of dealing with thn problem of upkeep, a close supervision being found neenstary if the roads are to bo kept in perfect re imlr. Tlm necetslty of the jwtrol system la made morn apparent from the widely different effect of wngon and nuto traffic. The dust turfaeo, kept con stantly forming by the travel of J. rses and vehicles and so essential to the permanency of the roadt, Is sucked up and whisked away by the swiftly mov ing motor, while the same motors wear off no dust from the atone remaining to tako the placn of that removed. This condition has brought about much experimenting In thn making of sur face, but as yet no solution hns been found. It hns been demonstrated, however, that with an effective patrol system onn man can attend several miles of road with a single horse nml cart, carrying with him some of the materials for repairing and keeping others in stations located nt intervals along bit route. The exjiensn incurred In this manner is found to be slight, the first cost proving to bo practically the full cott. In Kurope a road, once Numerous Obstacles contestant. During tho lato revolu tlont of Madero and Oroxeo bridges wero dynamited and trains wrecked, the replacing of which entailed tho expenditure of millions of dollar. Wherever the pretence of n bridge proved of advantage to the enemy, it was blown up with dynamite, and vrhenuver either faction could find a trainload of the enemy's toldier en route, the spreading of tho rails, or the undermining of a trestle tpcllcd the doom of trie entire force. Saber and bayonet finished the work not ac complished by the wreck. Hut, despite tho lotset incident to the revolution!, repaira have been made and further work projected. The best engineering talent available is even now at work on new construction proposals. conttrueted, it eonttnntly watched and kept in reimlr. In America it is tei dom touched after it Is built. Hero Is our mistake. In many countries thn best rond-htiildlng materials are to Im found along the highway, tint reducing to ft minimum the cost of upkeep. It has been found tlmt nlKmt M per cent of tho roads carry 00 per rent of tho traffic. Tho patrol system, ndJMted to meet this eondltinn, wrmbl find thn up keep of the reads less frequently used to bj very light. The reform of our system mutt begin with repairing. Nothing speaks better for n community than a system of ex reliant roads. Nothing is so dlsrourag ing to tho primpectlve settler or thn casual ol rvpr as a good road full of ehurk-hnlns, the result of neglect. If tho patrol system is followed in this rountry nn It is In Kurope, there will bo no bad stretches of road, for thn methods now known and advised by our government are superior to thoso of thn old country. Until nbout thre years ago nothing had been done to bring the mntter Wore the public. Now tho Importance of thn automobile as n factor in road construction lias mado imperative a close study of the best methods In order that a surface may be kept that will not yield to the suction of the soft pneumntie tire and nt tho same time come within the limit of the taxpayer's poeketbook. With tho government to advise and with a thorough upkeep system, thlt result may be attained nnd the full benefits of a permanent road system be de rived.
