NO MORE DUST ' : ON OILED ROADS .The following information from a re , cdnt government report on the putting of oil on roads sod ttreets will prove in teresting reading to the people who would like to gee the experiment tried i f fti.IIood Klver. The plan works well elsewhere and should be a success here: INTRODUCTION. Public attention was first called to i llie utility of nriuln n. betterment through experiments made by the county of Los Angeles in California in 181)8, where sit miles of road were oiled in that year under the direction of the supervisors. The sole purpose of this work ui tn lav 11.0,4.... ..i,;..i, ..1 t . . ..

Oil has been used on the principal driveways of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The mountain stage mad into the loscmite National I'ark has been oiled for a distance of 30 miles, from its initial terminus at Raymond to eight miles aoove w a worm. in l alifornia it has now passed the experimental stage.

OKKIINAL OBJgCT OF U8IC OF OIL ON ROADS. Ah already stated, the original motive ior i ne use or crude oil on roads was to lay the dust. Wherever oil has been . tried this purpose has invariably been accomplished, regardless of methods adopted or variety of oil used. On all kiiuU of roads where it has been applied the dust has ceased absolutely for at it-nst an entire season after its applica tion, and if renewed a second year, has lieen abated for that year also and the snowing, wnetiier then treated or not, In southern California all unite in sav ing t'mt the great bane of life dust pasted away wherever the first applica tion of oir was made. The dust raised by passing travel no longer cornea in at windows or destroys the product of field and orchard for considerable widths on each side of the road, as it formerly did. The report of its effectiveness as a dust layer is jjist as positive and enthusiastic fr m all sections which have made the experiments. HKXEFITH FROM TI1K USE OF OIL ON BOADS. Iii California it was Boon learned that, incalculably valuable as it was, the lay ing of dust was not the only or even the nuwt extraordinary result obtained. it was lound that when oil was applied it immediately began to bind together ... '""s". parucies constituting the roau surface, whether clay, sandy loam, loose mud, gravel, or the fine material on the top of macadam. A tough strat um lornieii, resembling an aephalt pave ment. K.mds built on drifting sand or clayey duct, no matter how deep, where trotung with a buggy was impossible mm ior a psirni strong norgeB to pull a ton was a wry laborious process became iiiuuiateu. rttuient and firm, so that driving teams ci uld trot with ease and uie tame pu r ot dories pull 2 tons more comfj tab y than they formerly uiu uie .me u ii. ji course, these re sults were not fully obtained immedi ately, but they never failed to follow peritMont treatment with oil. At first, while this oiled sulfate strat um was thin, it was often broken through, etpe. tally in wet weather, but , proper repan s and subsequent applica tions of oil thickened and strengthened it until it would at all times effectually , withstand the heaviest and most con tinuous travel. iiunuing couth from the railroad track in the town of Chino.San Bernar dino county, Cat., is a piece of road over w hich ery season nearly 40,000 tons o sugar lioets are hauled on their way to the factory, often averaging 750 tons a day." The foundation of this road is a loose sand, and it has been miriacea with a material containing hic formerly uie loaded wag ons often stalled and had to be dug out. aow, alter three seasons of treatment with oil, the road is as easy to' drive over as a good cny street, and effect ually sustains the heavy travel, although the majority of the wagons used on it have narrow tires The benefits of the on were experienced immediately after the first application was made, bnt the Buriace stratum under successive treat ments grew thicker and firmer until the roau nas become virtually perfect. In another place in the same ronntv several miles distant from the one just described, the-road runs over drifting sand just like the worst to be found on Cape Coil iu Massachusetts. It has wen treated lor two seasons with oil, and is now equally as good as the other, iith pieces of road were visited and caretuiiy examined by the writer, who can testify to the almost incredibly Buuoiaciory results obtained. OBJECTIONS TO CHE OF OIL ON ROADS. hen thev first beiran tn nan nil m, roads in California there was much speculation as to whether it would nnt be found objectionable; but when prop erly applied, and suitable precautions were taken not to use the road before it was ready, the theoretical objections vauisiiea. vt nen oil was placed upon the surface of the road, if vehicles were allowed to run over it before it had sunn in and become thoroughly incor porated with the road material the wheels picked up the oil and threw it in all directions, injuring clothing, and everything else- of a delicate nature I'POIl Which It fell. After exneriemw has taught how to avoid this, no further serious difficulties manifested them selves. ibere does -not appear to be such a thing as dust from an oiled road. .Of course, dust irom outside may blow on to an oiled road, but this soon adheres lotne oiled surface and ceases to rise ' ao ueieruiiiie wnetneroiien rnnri ma. terial would produce a stain the writer repeatedly scraped up some from the surface ot a road which had been treated some months before and blaeed it in a clean, white handkerchief. Taking the corners of the handkerchief in the left hand, the ball of dirt was turned by the right hand, so as to compress the con tents as the housewife does her fruit pulp when making jelly." After turning man uie compression was carried as tar as the strength of the handkerchief would permit, the ball was manipulated oy uie nuiil ijaud for a moment or two Then retaining one corner of the hand- Kerchief in the left hand, the others were dropped and the handkerchief thoroughly shaken. None of the ma terial adhered to the handkerchief and no discoloration could be detected. The mim from oil-treated roads. after the oil has become thoroughly diffused through the material, does not appear to be more objectionable than ordinary mud. Diligent inouiries about the effect of oiled roads ou rubber tires failed to dis close any complaints, except in cases where the tire had come in direct con tact with the oil. So far from being injurious, tne claim is made by some that., the resiliency of an oiled road surface and the protection airainst the sharp edges of sand and gravel increase tne uie of rubber tires very materially. It has not been uncommon for annual t pavements in cities to become softened by the heat of the sun to such a degree as to be injured by tiie wheels of heavily loaded wagons. Ho dillicultv of thin character is ever experienced with the surface of an oiled road. For a'short time after oil is annlied there is a very perceptible odor, which I soon disappears almost entirely. While it lasts it is not essentially disagreeable. 1 i ii ir.-i. ' biiu many people rainer HKB it. An inciueotai advantage ot on on roads is the help to the eyes. The reflection of the sun from white road surfaces and the dust blown into the eyes are both very trying to the eyesight Oiling gives the road a seal brown color, in California oil is found to be very aimcnity ts quickly remedied- In mak ing repairs wheu fresh material ia required, care should be exercised not to use any which has been subjected to iu una reiuae ill it. It frequently happens that travel follows the same track, and the narrow vims ana teet of the horses wear depres sions, it is important to correct these and reshape the road at least once a year. It has been found that an ordi nary blade road grader will not Hn )).: uccessiuuv, ont will tear up the oiled crust and destroy it. The White smooth er is a device for shavimr and rilling up depressions in an oilrr crust, it consists 01 a oair of rnnnnm 16 feet long and four feet anart. lt. tween them, at the front end a slant backward obliquely to the left three rows of three-quarter-inch steel harrow teeth, o adjusted that they shav along lines jtist one inch apart. as their -edges get dull the teeth can receive a quarter or half turn and their height from theirround can h r..n1ut..,l There is also a blade set ohlinnnlv wl,i,.i, scrajies off the shavingg made by the harrow teeth. These shavings, confined by the two runners and the blade, natu rally seek the dem-againim I n t ha Lift- hand runner is an opening, through which any lurnlus sbavinus are f..r.....l out toward the renter of the road, thus tending to raise the crown. There are wheels on -the sides upon which the machine, with runners raised from tli ground, travels when being moved from one place to another, and a steering gear by means of which the ouerator reailv controls its direction. A road reshabed with this machine, treated With a liohr sprinkling of oil and a thin sheet of sand and rolled, resembles a city asphalt street when first laid. DR. A. F. ROWLEY, JJi.. 1 1ST.

'1 he growth of oil in popular favor in southern California has been steady and rapid.- Many of those who have had mort experience with it have come to regard its use in a dry region as the most important discovery ever made in road making. Quite a considerable number of people have said lo the writ er, "We could not go back, to the old conditions; if we had to give up our oiled roads we would move away." TKSTS OK OILED ROADS BY RAINFALL. All semi-arid regions are subject to ...it-1, l...n .... f.. 1 1 a . : . 1 . j minion,, Bl uinee, wnicn are generally called waterspouts. In Cali fornia ttiese have in many placea sub jected oiled road surfaces to the severest jHjanble tests. Mr. Theo F. White, a tivil engineer, one of the aupervisors of ciuu jwriiaruiiio county, a man who has had n great deal of experience in oiled roans aim made them a special study tens ot one storm occurring in that county in which 10 inches of rain fell, t ;ii lies of it in a single night. He aays: 'The whole country was flooded and it gave us a good test of our oiled roads. there is a road running into San Ber nardino on a grade of about sir per tf hi, auout aw or -iuu feet from a bench down into a creek bottom. The road bad been oiled a second season and there was a good oiled surface. The water rushed down the middle of that road, because the ditches could not carry such a volume of it, and it did not piake a scratch on the road, but a half mile sonth there was a road of about the same grade which was so badlv washed that it could uot be used until it was repaired a road that was not oiled. Between Pomona and Freeman there was a great quantity of water came from a canyon and struck the oiled road at right angles at one "point. Jt came from theoiest. and on the eaat rBKPABATION OF THK ROAD, ' : When a road is to he treated it must first be prepared to receive the oif. It thou Id receive a crown of about a half inch to the foot ; on a 16-foot roadway this would leave each side four inches lower than the center. Careful atten non snouia ne given to tne drainage, so that water can quickly tun- off and not soak into the foundation of the road from the sides. The oil coverimi wheu finally made will be impervious to water, Dut it the foundation is water soaked it loses its firmness and ability to suiidoi t .l. i . - . r : tne road stiriace under travel, and causes it to break through in spots. After the road LaB been DronerltH shaped it should be given a thorough soaxing wiin a road sprinkler and rolled with a light roller. The purpose of this is to insure uniform consistency and a fit iu foundation. It should then be left undisturbed, if possible, until the water dries out. Many roads have been oiled and excellent results obtained without any wetting or rolling, but the practice described is the best where - the facilities are obtainable., A soil which after being wet tends under travel to pack firmly, but ia still sufficiently porous to let water drain through, is ideal for treatment with oil. A clay that bakea and then pulverizes into tine duet under the wheels will only give good results when some ma terial is auueu, as explained later. . After the road surface has become I dry it is feasible, to run a sharp-toothed harrow over it. so as to loosen it to a depth of three inches. The aim is to secure an oil crust three inches thick. If the road surface can be made to aV soru on 10 that depth, ti.at 18 the 8im pi eel wuy to get the crust. If this stir- lace is hard and will not readily yield to me narrow lor a depth ot tfino inches. the practice is to build it up by adding material alter me on is applied. valleys.
