DAVENPORT -CARTOONIST
Will Talk &nd Dre.w Picture In
Granta Pass April Sth.
Homer Davenport, the great cartoon
ist, will visit Grants Patss on Tues
day, April fi, aud ylll speak about
The Power of a Cartoon" at the
opera house. Davenport, whoso mag
nificent work as a cartoonist la known
all over America, is a splendid story
teller, and his entertainment Is made
op of a choice selection of storiettes,
adventures, anecdotes, aud experi
ences of all kinds. There is not a mo
ment that during his .discourse is not
full of absorbing Interest. He tells
his stories crayon in hand, and 111ns
trates them with rapid cartoon draw
ings. Nothing more concise has been
said of him than the remark of Ex
Governor Bob Taylor; "Davonport
is a volume of wit and humor, and
each cartoon tells an excellent story.'
Although the trend of his lecture Is
of a humorous vein, some of his storiei
have their pathetio side. The story
of tho "Widowed Duck," for Instance,
but witty or pathetio, they are told
only as Davenport, with his magnetic
personality, can toll thorn aud illns
rated with drawings that papers have
paid him fabulous sums to obtain.
From a ne'er do well in the little
Western towu of Sllverton, he lias in
a fow years risen to the pinocle of
sucoess, aud is sought after at the pros
eut moment by half the newspapers iu
New York, offering the highest salary
ever iiaid to a cartoonist, but before
"going into harness again" Mr. Dav
onpott intends touring the other coast,
getting fresh ideas, and recuperating
after a long spell of hard work.

UILDING A HIGHWAY
The Construction and Mainte
nance of Clo.y Ro&ds.
Clay and all classes ot wet roads
need thorough draining, says Prank F.
Rogers, consulting engineer of the
Michigan highway commission, In Good
Roads Magazine. Where there Is much
surface water largo open ditches must
be provided. It is Important that thcye
ditches have sufficient capacity to ban
die all ordinary storms without flooding
the road. They should have continuous
grades and free outlets to the natural
water courses Intersecting the roads. It
may be neccasary to improve these wa
ter courses for some distance outside
the road allowance to prevent bnckwa
tcr. When necessary tbla requirement
should not be neglected.
Such ditches should be located aloug
the side ot tbe road from which the
most water comes, so as to prevent as
much water as possible from soaking
Into the roadbed. Largo open ditches
may be placed between the regulur gut
ters and the fence line, with occasional
opening through the shoulders be
tween the gutters and tho main ditches.
When largo deep ditches are located
alongside tho roadbed they should be
protected by suitable guard mils.
All springy places and most clay
roads will bo Improved by nnder
drains. To be of the most valuo their
trenches should bo filled with cinders,
coarse gravel or broken stouo np to the
road surface; otherwise the road In
comes puddled on the surface and pre
vents a great deal of water from enter
ing the drains. Two Hues ot tiles from
two to three feet deep parallel to the
center line ot tho road and from eight
to ten feet distant on cltlier sldo will be
found of great valuo to all clay roads. .
On springy hills the drains should
run diagonally from the center to either
gutter, where sultablo outlets must be
provided. The frequency of such drains
will depond upon the ainouut of water
to be handled.
Undcrdralns In each gutter or along
the margins of the grade, as above
mentioned, are ot grcut value where
large open ditches are not required to
handlo the surfuce water, Inasmuch as
they lower tho water plain some two or
three feet more than would be possible
Without them. A drain down the center
of the road, having the trench filled
with sonio coarse material, often serves
the same purpose
Clay roads should bo kept well
crowned, having from one-half to three-
fourths of an Inch rise to each foot in
width. Any uioro than this Is a positive
Injury and should not bo tolerated.
They should bo smoothed dowrt ench
spring after tho ground has settled ami

will prevent their becoming rutted so
easily again and will leave the in In ex
ccllcnt shapo to make One summer
roadi. In fact, there are no belter tem
porary roads than well shaped cluy
roads when dry, smooth and bard.
Sand roads need quite different treat
ment They should be but slightly
crowned and have very shallow gut
ters. They ran also bo made rather
narrow. It Is better to allow tho aides
to grass over whenever possible. Their
worst enemy Is dry weather, nnd they
should bo built aud repaired with a
View to retaining ss much moisture as
possible. Trees should be planted
along the roadside and the naturnl ones

thing possible to keep them very much
