Throughout this entire work both
In hulldlng the grade over the
mountains and In paving In the val
ley It has hcen the determined policy
of tho State Highway Engineer to
build tho road In such n manner
that tho taxpayer would not bo called
upon to pay for the ctinngtng or re
building of tho road In n few years,
and to cut tho ropnlr nud mainten
ance; cost to n minimum. He Is a
firm believer that every dollar
should bo so expended that Its re
sults will last and not havo to bo
re-expended In n short time to keep
the road In traveling condition. In
spite of nn organized effort on the
part of a few citizens who havo felt
It their duty to belittle every effort !
to build a permanent road on an
economical basis, we feel that the
people of Jackson county, as a whole,
have stood behind tho Slate High
way Department and the County
Court with their confidence mid
trust. This has been no little In
spiration to us at tliuts hn the
organization of this largo work was
difficult and the opposition bitter.
If we nre to Judge the feeling of
the taxpayers by the numerous coin
pllments on the class of work done
nud Its cot then it U apparent that
they feel their confidence has not
been misplaced.
If more of the counties of the
state were as progressive and as
willing to got behind their county
courts mid all work together us a
unit with the road builders, as .luck
sou county Ims, then the history of
roadbulldlng would soon bo very dif
ferent. FHVNIv KITTUEIHIE.

Invention of C. K. Whltcmnu and j
James It, W. Gregg. Keporls from
tho patent office stale that It hi tho
best ring received by thorn for 20 j
years.
As the avoraue automobile motor
contains 12 rings, there Is n great
field for n dug that Is right.
The ring Itself Is so now mid dif
ferent that It Is almost liiipusslblo to
evplalu all of the mechanical features
of its construction In this article, but
will give u few of the leal features.
This ring accomplishes what every
repair man has boon looking for, a
ring that vould (III up worn groove
In a piston. This one feature has
never been accomplished before In
any patent rljig. It also breaks the
Joint In three places making It gas
tight on the cylinder walls. When
wear occurs it not only expands to
fit the cylinder, but owing to Its par
ticular construction, expands to fit
tho giooves In the piston.
