MAINTENANCE OF HIGHWAYS. Monthly Bulletin of the Departmen of Geology. (Edward Barrett, State Geologist) A recent bulletin of the department of geology discussed In a general way the principal elements In road con struction. Those were enumerated a«: Proper materials, width, thick n°Bs, crown, berm, curves, gradient and drainage. It is not the purpose of this bulletin to discuss iu detail these elements. We also discussed briefly in the previous bulletin, important elements in road maintenance. These are: Dragging, rolling, filling, culverts and bridges. The importance of these elements cannot be overlooked, and cannot be too often or too strongly urged. 1. Dragging: Perhaps no single aid in the upkeep of a road is as important as that of dragging. Traffic, of course, is the principal cause of the displacement or road ma-

terial from the crown of the road • down over the berm (shoulders) on either side. There are other causes, however, that contribute to the displacement of material. These are heavy rain, freezing, and thawing. Through these processes the material is loosened and eroded from the crown to the sides, often much of the material going over the berm into the ditches, and much of the finer parts of the material is carried away by the water of the ditches. Proper dragging draws this material back upon the crown and saves it and also prevents it from clogging the ditches. Dragging should always be done just as soon after a rain as possible, just so the road is not sloppy and muddy. 2. Rolling: If posible, rolling should follow dragging. Almost any : weight roller is better than no roller < at all. Eight to ten ton rollers are used in many parts of the country ' with good results. Rolling compacts 1 and smoothes the road material of i the crown, with the result that ce- i mentation takes place, and t«he life of i the road is prolonged. 3. Filling: A very important ele- 1 ment in road maintenance is proper ) filling Often a small break occurs 1 in the crown—at first little is thought < of it, but the road-destroying agents, ■ viz: Traffic and weather, make the 1 small break into a chuck, and the i clinch into a mudhole, and the mudhole into an impassable break in the 1 road. Filling with proper material oi the kind with which the road was 1 constructed would prevent all this, ; and the consequent wear and tear I on man, beast, and wagon or motor. 1 4. Culverts: Too often the main- i tcnance of culverts, or rather the neglect to maintain them, is on par : with filling. A small break occurs in a culvert, whether plank, iron, 1 brick or cement. Often an old plank MARKETS-STOCKS Dally Report of Local and Foreign Markets. New York, N.

NOT A LIVE TREE Is Left on Elanders Front, Writes Elson Davies, 1- Soldier from Here. d ’ HOSPITAL DOES BIT e il Davies is With Evacuation

e s Hospital—Sees Much of , the Country. ' The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Davies from their son, Elson R. Davies: Somewhere in Belgium, Nov. 8. Dear Father, Mother, Sister and Brother:—Well, 1 will try and write you again. No doubt you will be glad to hear from me bv this time, as you don’t seem to be getting my mail for some reason. But of course on account of being so busy for the past month or so. I couldn’t get a chance to write as often as 1 would like to. But we will start in all over now and I'll try to do better from now on. Hazel wrote me a letter, which 1 got yester day. She said they were living in Salem now and will stay there until spring. There don't seem to be many boys left around home any more. It must seem rather quiet around there now. But from the (news) that we are getting here, it seems that the war will soon be over. What do you think about it? Well, I can say this: Evacuation Hospital No. 5 has already done her bit. And they certainly took advantage of our good work. We have the name of being the BEST evacuation hospital over here, and for that reason we are seeing more of the country than any other hospital over here. But we are not in F-rance now I would like for you to see this Flanders front. You' have read about it and seen some pictures, but even at that you could not imagine what it is like. If you can imagine (our) country just alive with barbed wire entanglements, shot full of shell holes, and not even a live tree or anything else on it, maybe you can guess then about what it is like. I haven't seen Ypres yet. but will try and visit there the fust chance 1 get. We were near Rhimesat one time and most of us got to see the place. Hut I’ll tell you it has nothing on this place. Well, we are short of stationery, and I’ll have to cut this short. But I think you will get some of the letters that I wrote you, later on. lam with the X-ray department now tai ways have been there). But we run two X-rays —French and American. I am with the American machine, taking reports, flourscopic pictures, pretty fair job, but don't pay much. Ha! ha: Do you hear from Cora often? When does she think she will come over? 1 hope she never comes over here. This is no place for a girl, and they will surely find it out when they get here. I surely would be glad to see her and am very proud to know there are no slackers in our family; but this is no place for a girl, and 1 know, believe me. Well, we hear tonight that the war is really over. But it don’t seem hardly possible. The boys are all happy, singing and celebrating over i the news. We are getting news all the time to this effect. Let’s hope it's true this time. With love and best wishes to all, I ' will close. As ever, Your loving son, ELSON. Write often. Give my best regards to the rest of the family and tell them all to write. or rail is stuck into the hole as a i warning, and the culvert goes for ' weeks and months without repairs. The hole grows from continual trafj sic and weathering and soon the culI vert goes down. 5. Bridges: One of the largest and most expensive elements of road i maintenance is that of bridges. The ■ initial expense is always high, and we say. always troublesome. Indeed, we have heard it charged that there is even a graft in bridge letting and construction. Here. then, we have a good reason that bridges should be properly maintained, so that all aggravating circumstances shall be eliminated. The following points should be guarded carfeully: Proper painting at least every two years, if iron; proper care of floor if wood or cement; inspection of piers, and point where approaches join the bridge floor. At this point the impact of the wheels of vehicles invariably causes a break, which, if neglected, endangers the entire bridge. ’ DEMOCRAT ° WANT ADS PAY BIG.
