If Attention to Road I Put Off Until tho Latter Part of Summer the 8ur fae Baoomaa Dry and the Toll Ex pandad la Unsatisfactory. It la a great mistake to put off work ing roads until August or September, according to rond expert a of the Unit ed Mates department of agriculture. The rood should te worked when the oil la damp ao aa to make the aoll hake when It dries out If the roads are worked when they are dry It takes more power to draw the machine, and besides, dry earth and dust retain moisture and quickly rut after rains. The nse of clods, sods, weeds or vege table matter In building earth roads shonld bo avoided, because they also retain moisture. By umIiio; the road machine In the spring while the soli Is soft and damp the surfuce Is more easily shaped and soon pucks down Into a dry, hard crust, which Is less liable to become dusty In summer and muddy In winter. Itepalrs to roads should be mude when needed and not once a year aft er crops sre laid by. Kecsuse of Its simplicity, efllcleucy and cheapness, the split log drag or some similar de vice Is destined to come Into more and more general use. With the drag prop erly built and Ita use well understood, the maintenance of earth and gravel i .Kids becomes a simple and inexpensive matter. Care should be taken to rnnta the lax so light that one man can lift It with esse, as a light drug cun be drawn by two medium sized borses and reMiids mure readily to various meth ods of hitching and the shifting posl i tlon of the operator tlmn a heavier ; one.

Two applications of the merit system to highway work which ' will be noted with satisfaction by road builders ha v. recently been made. In Connecticut state employ ; ment has been put upon a merit ' ', ', system basis by means of the ', state civil service law which be- ; '. '. came effective on Aug. 1, 191.1. , As applied to the highway de- ; partment. this law puts all of ' the officials and employees, with ; the exception of the state high- -'. '. way commissioner, ' into the classified service. '. '. In New York state the appoint- ', ) ment of six division engineers . . has been mode by competitive ) examination. A description of the method of conducting these " examinations was given by First Deputy Commissioner George A. '. '. nicker at the recent special road meetings of the American Socle- ty of Civil Engineers. It has long been recognized 1 '. '. that efficiency In the conduct of highway work could best be ob ! ! talned by the selection of men ; with regard only to their fitness . . and ability, and it has been gen ii crully believed that the absolute . elimination of political conslder- atlons from appointments of this kind was desirable. But while '. these hove been generally ac- ', ; ; cepted as abstract principles, their actual application has not ; ) been aa frequent as might be . desired. Oood Itoads. ' !

DEATH PENALTY LP AHOMTION AMENDMENT WILL JIK VOTED ON I'sul Turner, Member of Antl-C'pl-tal Punishment LeagDe, Hnb nilts an Amendment The voters of Oregon will have an other opportunity to determine at the coming election whether capital punishment should be abolished. Undlsnayed by the overwhelming defeat of the proposition at the last election, Paul Turner, of Portland, member of the Anti-Capital Punish ment League has submitted to the Secretary of State for approval a to form, an amendment to the consti tution providing for the abolition of capital punishment. lit siia the amendment would be ottered a t;ie November election. Mr. Turner proposes adding to ar ticle 1 of the constitution and re pealing all sections conflicting with It, the following: "The death penalty shall not be Inflicted upon any person under tha lays of Oregon. The maximum pun ishment which may be Inflicted shall be life Imprisonment." It Is reported that Mr. Turner Is responsible for the amendment and that the . Anti-Capital Punishment League Is not co-operating with him. The law provides that all measures for initiative and referendum must be submitted to the Secretary of State for Inspection as to form. Lava Beds Gets Publicity The San Francisco Chronicle of Sunday, April 12, contains a page illustrated wrlteup of the Modoc Lava Beds, written by William Wag ner, formerly of Lakeview, The ar ticle Is well written and the picture show many litrestlng scenes and In dividuals connected with the early days and the Indian outbreak In that picturesque region. Among the In dividuals is a picture of I. D. Apple gate who took a prominent part In the Modoc Indian war. Let the Examiner figure on voor next Tob Printing. THB WIDTH OF TltS KA11TH HOAI WILL Dfcl'fcND US TI1U TRAFFIC a dry cedar lo-, jbuUKh elm. walnut, box elder or soft maple are excellent Ouk, hickory or ash Is too heavy. The log should be from seven to teu feet long nnd from eight to ten Inches in diameter, it should be split care fully ns near the center us ikimmIIiIo and the heaviest and best slab chosen for the front. When the soil is moist, but not sticky, the drug does the best work. As the soil in the field will balio if plowed wet, so the road will buke if the drar Is used on It when It i Is wet. If I he roudway Is full of holes or badly rutted the drag should be used once when the rond Is soft and I slushy.

Due road machine with a soil able power and operator will do the work or many men with picks and shovels anil. In addition, will do It bel ter. If the road is composed of flue clay or soil It will sometimes pay to resurface it-with top soil from an ad jacent Held which has sand or gravel mixed with it Storm water should bo disposed of quickly before it has had time to pene trate deeply into tho surfa.ee. of tho road. This can be done by giving the road n crowu or slope from the center 1 to tho sides. Kor un earth road which ; la twenty-four feet wide the center should be not less than six inches nor i more than -twelve inches higher than ; tho outer edges of the shoulder. The j narrow road which Is high lu the mid- , die will become, rutted utmost as quick lv ns one which is flat, for the reason that ou a narrow road all the trattlc is forced to use only a narrow strip. The width of the earth road will de pend ou tho t rattle. As a rule, twenty five or thirty feet from ditch to ditch Is sufficient If tho road Is properly crowuod. Ordinarily the only ditches needed are those made with the road machine, which ore wide cud shallow. Deep narrow ditches wash rapidly, es pecially on steep" slopes. The earth road should not be loosened, dug up or plowed up any more than Is necessary. It should be gradually raised, uot low ered; hardened, not softeued. Funds Should Bo Consorvsd by Repairs at Nscossary Times. The office of public roads of the de partment of agriculture Is making a strong effort to focus the mind of the country on the fact that maintenance and effective repair are of equal Im portance with the actual Improvement of bnd roads. Investment of money In new roads does uot become real economy until provision Is made for keeping these new roads In condition sfter they a:e Imilt If a new road Is built and tln-n t-ILiwed to rail Into disrepair much of the original invest ment is simply w.-isted. says Muulci pal EMu'iin ei iny.

Needless to say such a minute mile age Is insufficient to keep the rosd plant fully occupied all the year around nnd renders the employment of a skilled engineer Impossible for eco nomical reasons. Officials of the office of public roads when called upon for assistance by the various states are pointing out that road building Is an art based on a sci ence and that traiued men and expe rienced meu are necessary to secure the best results. Statisticians have fouud that al though the average expenditure ou the Improvement of roads exceeds $1,000, 0K) tt day, a larse portion of the money In the United States is wasted because of the failure to build the right type of road to meet the local requirements or the failure to provide for the continued maintenance of the Improvement y The various states and counties with in the last six months have taken s greater Interest in road improvements than ever before iti the history of tho United States, and there Is now a strong movement to conserve the roads of the country where they are improved. Scientific maintenance will he one of the chief features of the work of the office of public roads throughout the present year. HOTEL LAKEVIEW F. P.

Cleaning; Pressing and Repairing GOOD ROADS- IN ARIZONA, j Many Milss of Highway Improved In ; tha Southwest. , Many miles of country roads have j been Improved in the south western ! country by the application of caliche, j which, if properly bandied, gives satis faction for ti country roud of moderate cost. Last season three miles of roud near Phoenix were Improved by the application of caliche and 11 wearing surface of oiled sand and gravel. t'allche Is a local name for a calca reous, cement-like deposit which occurs In great nbumlauce in many parts of Arizona, particularly in ami neur the foothills. When pulverized, wet aud compacted by traffic or rolling it forms a nulcndam or concrete-like mass of moderate hardness and fairly high de greo of toughness. Tho engineer states that the rond has a very satisfactory surface, but it re mains to be seen whether the sand and ell will last us long as the caliche base. The cost of the road was about $3,000 per mllo. Caliche was hauled from one aud tbree-quiirters to four and three quarter miles and the oil from four aud one-half to seven and one-balf mllei.
