Construction of Earth Roads
WASHINGTON, I). C, Feb. 27.
As soils differ for agricultural pur
poses, so they differ for roads, says
the roads expert of the department
of agriculture. Clay or soils of fine
texture usually make Hor rouds, es
jiecially if they contain much vege
table matter. Tho coarser soils,
however, which contain somo sand
or gravel, will often make very sat
isfactory roada for light traffic, pro
vided they aro kept in projcr repnir.
If the road is composed of lino
vluy or soil, it will sometimes pay
to resurface it with top soil from
n adjneent field, which has sund or
gravel mixed with it. This method,
called tho top-soil method,- is now
in successful use in Virginia, North
Carolinu and Georgia, nnd probably
other states.
Tho earth road con best he crown
ed uud ditched with a road muehiiie,
and not with picks nnd shovels,
Beoops and plows. Ono rond iim
chine, with n suitable power and op
erator, will do tho work of muny
men with picks nnd shovels, and do
it butter.
Tho rond machine should bo used
when tho soil is damp, so as to make
tho boil hako when it dries out. Jf
it is worked dry, it takes more
power lo draw the machine, uud, bu
ides, dry earth and dust retain
moisture and nuicklv rut after rains.
Tho uso of clod, sods, weeds or
vegetable matter in building forth
roads should be avoided, because
tliev al.so retain jnoUtnre.
It is a great mistake to put the
working of the earth off until the
surface is baked dry and hard. It
is not only difficult to work, but is
unsatisfactory work when done.
Kurlli which is loose nnd dry will
remain dusty us long as the dr.
weather lasts and then turn to mud
as soon us the rains beg'u. Ky us
iiif tbo rol machine in tliu spring
of the venr while the soil is suit and
damn, tho surface is more easily
shaped uud soon packs down into a
dry, hard crust which is less liable
to become duty in summer or muddy
iti winter.
Storm water should he disposed of
quickly heforo it has tiino to pene
trate deeply into tho surface. This
can be done by givinir the rond a
crown or slope from tho center to
the sides. For nu earth road which
is twenty-four feet wide, the center
should be not less than six inches
nor more than twelve inches higher
than Hip outer edges of the shoul
ders. A iiiirinw road which is too
high in the middle will become rut
ted almost us quickly us one which
is too flat, for the reason that on
the narrow road nil the traffic is
forced to use only a narrow strip.

S. K. McDonald of '.Medford was a
pleasant caller last Monday, lie was
here canvassing the town and sur
rounding country for photos to en
large. 11. I. Cow-gill, civil engineer for
the Itoguc Hiver Laud, Irrigation and
l anal lompnny, was out supenn-
tending the work on the new flumes
in the old Snowy Hutte mill.
Hert Clnrno, who lives nenr the
county road from here to Trail and
L. (.'. Myers of Lake Creek, were do
ing business with our merchants
Widnesday.
Marsh Applegate and K. K. Ash
of Trail were at the Sunnyside
Tucsdny night. Mr. Ash was out aft
er n load of goods to replenish his
stock.
Hev. L. Ii. Simmons, the school
house janitor, pastor of the llaptist
church here and general roustabout,
was tearing away the old dilapidated
board fence from around the school
grounds the first of the week, thus
relieving us of nu eyesore that
should have been removed long ngo.
Mr. It'ggius came out from Ins
home nenr Derby Tuesday evening,
spent the night with us nnd went on
to Medford nnd Jacksonville the next
morning on land business.
K. I. Power, who has been nt work
on the flume on the old mill, cut his
ankle Wednesday morning and had
to lay off. lie went to Medford
Thursday morning.
A. W. Walker and George Cnre
trns of Medford were pleasant call
ers last Wednesday for dinner. Mr.
Walker is a candidal e for sheriff on
the republican ticket nt the primary
election May l.'i. He seemed to
meet with some success while here,
us those who know him sK'ak favor
ably of him.
George II. Weaver of Central Point
was also here for dinner the same
dny. He wns canvassing for a
pneumatic sweeper and seemed to be
meeting with considerable success.
Harvey Stenlcy and Gus Nigren of
Hrownsboro were doing business
here Wednesday.
Last Wednesday was Kev. L. L,
Simmons' thiity-sixth birthday and
in anticipation of that day or event
the Indies of the Aid Society took
the no. ion into their wise heads to
make n nice quilt and present it to
h m on thnt occasion. Tliev also do
cided to insert (he names of the per
sons who were interested in the
quit nnd another notion they took
was to tax each one who had their
names in tho quilt ten cents each and
the proceeds to he given to Kev. L.
L. Simmons to he applied on his
back salary but this was all to bu
kept a profound secret from him.
Now just to think of one hundred
nnd fifty perons, men and women,
all knowing of the plan and still
keep it from him; but it seems thnt
they did, but how, will bo hard for
me to tell. It was all arranged that
we were nil to meet nt tho home of
Mr. Painter on Wednesday evening
and not let him know anything of
what was going on and Mr. Painter
is Mr. S'h. nearest neighbor, but tho
ladies were equal to tho occasion, so
Mrs. Florey planned to have them
take dinner with them that day, and
in the afternoon Mrs, Hrynnt plan
ned to have Mrs. Simmons spend tho
afternoon with her fitting a dress
so as to have them nway from homo
all day nnd Mr. S. was at work on
his school ynrd fence. Well, tho re
suit was that just alter dark tho
neighbors commenced to come in
while Kev. S. was in blissful ignor
ance of what was going on, studying
his sermon for uoxt Sunday, When
about 8 o'clock a committee waited
on him to invito him nnd his family
over to Jlrothor Painter's to spend
tho evening, and when ho arrived he
was met by fifty-five of his neigh
bors to tender congratulations. Now,
imagine Ids surprise when he was
ushered into such a crowd. (I hae
the names of (hose who were pres
ent, but the list is so long (hat I urn
afraid that ye editor might think
that they would lake too much
space.) In ii short time six ladles
came marching out with the quilt,
Iiuvlii(,' jia-viutibly placed Hcv, ti. in
