The Tourist Movement.

We all know what the temporary loss to Europe has' been in tourist trade diverted on account of the war A thousand and one evidences of L •were given in the trans-Mississippi country last year. Now Fred F. Harvey^:ater* r o' celebrity to. the traveling public., tells us- that this loss to Europe is permanent. He has just returned with vivid impressions from the •• rn. - - over which a flood of - . -ner pleasure seekers >; read-in Lie months* and reports that the volume of traffic- during the coining --on. .may be as great or even crt-ater. With the; eastern tourists, shunted off- front their.''us'.o::;* itrip to Europe, it has been a cas* b? seeing is believing, ...They; have .j an appreciation of the *>. :- >• -o: our western country whi h . r.< amount of topographical d* s.-i j. -lon or academic generalization canid convey. Thousands of summer hon.ehave been purchased of built in this section by Americans, ch telly residents of the east. Mr. Harvey says. Hundreds of ranches have been acquired by them as outing places. New resort centers are planned for their entertainment and preparations are made for looking more systematically than ever before after their comfort and convenience. No other continent has such a playground as our own. It has long been suspected that if the current of travel was ever directed towards its wonders, it would never diminish Persons now living may see the time when European tourists will come to scenic America in swarms as great as those in which American tourists up to 1915 have been going to scenic Europe.—-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Maintaining Bond-Built Roads

Make Ample Provision for UpKeep—Analysts < of State Hig'Hv/ay Reports on Cost of Maintenance

(Prepared by the U S Department of Agriculture)

Cedar Creek Concrete Bridge, Louisville, Ky.

The problem of maintaining highways constructed with borrowed money should be given as much consideration as is devoted to the more permanent features of the roadbed. It has not been customary for officials to face frankly the cost of the maintenance and repair of bond-built I highways at the time the bonds are issued and before construction begins, j As a matter of fact, investigations made by the department show that in the majority of cases where bonds j have been issued by . local authorities there has been no provision whatever for maintaining the roads when built. ( This is perhaps the greatest defect in f the method of building highways by issuing bonds. Maintenance is necessary in order j to insure to the community the maximum economic service by the road, and also to preserve the investment. The cost of maintenance and repairs must, therefore, be studied at the, outset. In the absence of general data, the reports on maintenance from states which have highway Hupart’ments should be of interest to county officers preparing to issue road-build-ing bonds. Cost of Maintenance. The following opinions as to maintenance cost represent the results of careful analyses of state highway reports, as well as much first-hand intormation gathered by the department’s specialists: Well-constructed gravel roads will sometimes sustain several years of farm traffic without showing marked deterioration, even when there has i been no maintenance. Such roads sometimes actually improve during the second season; more frequently, however, they show ruts or chuck holes. It cannot be expected that the average life of a gravel surface will be greater than that of a macadam surface, w r hich in the New England and eastern states is between six and seven years. If a sum equal to twothirds of the original cost of the gravel surface itself is provided for renewals at six-year intervals, it should be estimated at from $l5O to $250 per mile per year. If S3O is then allowed for annual dragging and small repairs, the total annual cost of repair and maintenance for gravel roads would be from SISO to S2BO per mile. The annual cost of maintenance alone is sometimes below S3O. In Bennington county, Vt.i during 1912, 175 miles of gravel roads were maintained at a cost of $20.70 per mile. The annual cost of maintenance and repair on sand-clav roads, including all necessary resurfacing at periodic intervals, should not be fixed at less than 10 per cent of the original cost. What Figures Show. The cost of repair and maintenance for water-bound macadam roads has been determined with considerable exactness from Massachusetts figures and checked by resurfacing charges in other states and in Germany. Prior to 1913. from SIOO to $125 per year ordinarily paid for necessary small

Traction Engine and Train, Atlanta,. Ga.

repairs, such as patching, cleaning culverts, etc., and from S4OO to $425 per year was the necessary annual charge in order to resurface at periods varying from six to seven years. The sum of $525 per mile, on an average. should therefore maintain macadam roads if changes and increases of traffic are not excessive. It must be understood, however, that in many instances where macadam sufficed for the volume ah(P character of traffic prior to 1906, it will not withstand the action of the motor vehicle traffic which has developed since that time. Many miles of ordinary or waterbound macadam road have been resurfaced with bituminous materials, and many miles of new bituminousmacadam have been constructed. The logical maintenance of such highways is a surface treatment with bituminous material and rock screenings, clean gravel, or sharp sand. The cost of such surface treatment is from 4 to 12 cents per square yard, and it may be expected to last from one to -three years, according to the density of traffic and the success of the application. Theoretically, perfect surface treatment would constitute absolute maintenance for a bituminous-mac-adam road. Such maintenance is seldom or never realized and bitumi-nous-macadam roads doubtless require resurfacing at intervals' The cost of, such resurfacing is not yet known. Repair and Maintenance. The average cost for repair and maintenance of 7,300 miles of highway in Connecticut. Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, for the year 1912, was about SBOO per mile. A large part of this money was expended for bituminous resurfacing and bituminous surface treatment. There is some question whether the expenditure correctly measures thq average cost of repairing and maintaining bituminous-macadam roads. In the state of New York, however, for the years 1911 and 1912 the average cost for repair and maintenance was $724 per mile upon a total average of 2,861 miles. The annual cost of repair and maintenance on Massachusetts state roads for the years 1910, 1911 and 1912 was, respectively, $642, $647 and $676 per mile for about 850 miles. For the most part these figures for New York and Massachusetts represent the cost per mile of resurfacing with bituminous material and of maintaining bituminous-macad-am and water-bound macadam roads by surface treatment with bituminous material. It is clear, therefore, that for heavy traffic trunk line roads S7OO per mile is not an excessive estimate at present for the annual cost of all repair and maintenance on bitumi-nous-macadam roads.

Build Them Now.

Some day we will be unanimously of the opinion that the way to save money on roads is to build them now. The cost per ton mile for hauling on hard surfaced roads should not exceed 13 cents.

GREAT RIVALRY BETWEEN RACING TEAMS

Jli&rc* THE first three official entries for the fbeALFA/eJ * Sixth Annual Internationa] Sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis k Motor Speedway, May 30, are three Duesenberg cars. To show the intense rivalry between racing teams this year, there has already been a change in the lineup of drivers for these three cars. Eddie U Donnell will captain the Duesenberg team. He is not exactly a veteran but the wiseacres predict that he has had just enough experience to put him in shape for a big cleanup. D’Alene will be his team mate. “Pete” Henderson was to guide the third steering wheel, but “Pete” has joined Rickenbachers Prest-O-Lite Racing Team. Who the third driver will be is a question A wonderfully speedy mount awaits someone with enough exnerience and nerve to open it up. These three cars will soon be seen on the Indianapolis Speedway in practice for the 000-mile motor classic. y Judging from the pictures of D’Alene and O’Donnell they are hannilv confident of success. 1 ‘ 1

The Speed of Dogs.

Few people realize of what remarkable speed dogs are capable. Some statistics in regard to this have been gathered by M. Dusolier, a French scientist. After pointing out the marvelous endurance shown by little fox terriers, who follow thej* masters patiently for hours, while the latter are riding on bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs. Thus, the wolf can run between 50 or GO miles in one night, and an Arctic fox can do quite as well, ‘if not better. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel 4 5 miles on the ice in five hours, and there is a case on record in which a team of Eskimo dogs traveled six and one-half miles in 28 minutes. According to M. Dnsolier, the speed of the shepherd dogs, and those used on hunting ranges, is from 10 to 15 yards a second. English setters and pointers hunt at the rate of 18 to 19 miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours. Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift, as is proved by the fact that a dog ot this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering fournniles in six and one-half minutes, which was at the rate of nearly 18 yards a second. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four-footed creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. Englisn greyhounds which are used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop, a space between 13 and 23 yards every second. —Our Dumb Animals.
