Chicago Is to have u dustlcss road,

tire awaiting the result of the experi
ment with interest.
T1 e road will he constructed of biust
furnace slag eomliined with asphalt or
tar hy the office of public roads of the
I'nltcd States department of agricul
ture. It will Ik? one of a number of
experiments conducted by the depart
ment in the effort to give the nation
dust proof thoroughfares. Possibly the
i^>ud will be constructed in one of the
south side parks.
Jr the results are as satisfactory as
the preliminary conditions Indicate, the
slag-asphalt or slag-tar roads will real
ize the hope of the scientists for both
the utilization of byproducts »:i.d the
attainment of a dust less road.
The road to he constructed In Chi
cago under the s ipervion <>i Chief
Engineer Vernon AI. Peirce will he of
slag and asphalt. It will lie carefully
olwerved during the tryiug months of
winter. If In the spring ii has been
established that this class of road re
mains Ann, does not rut. sheds water
and mu kef but little dust, a vast step
forward will have been taken In road
building.
More novel than this, however, the
office of public roads lias been prepar
* lng in the east to lay a stretch of
what facetious writers are almost cer
tain to label a “candy” road. In nil
flights of fuucy it Is probable that no
body except n scientist would go so
far afield In rosenrch as to adopt mo
lasses us a road building material, but
that is exactly what has been done
ItOAD WITH HLAO FOUNDATION.
Assistant Chemist Provost Hubbard of
Director Page’s scientific corps has
been leveling n half mile stretch of
road near Newton, Mass., for the lay
ing of the first molasses roud.
This molasses is the almost useless
byproduct of the great cane sugar re
fineries of the south and the beet
sugur refineries of the west and south
west. 11..Is slcklflbly sweet, nearly as

Ismgbt at a lower pri u th.ui coal :v,r
and in greater <|tmnlitles. In lab ;m
tory experiments it lieliHved so v. <11
and held out such promises for I leal
roads that the praetiml test of a real
road was decided upon.
“Slug :ih the useless byproduct of
the blast furnaces atal molasses as t' e
useless byproduct of the sugar ic
fineries,” a circular Issued by file o.T. e
of public roads says, “may In a few
yours revolutionize country road build
lug, create a demand for more extrud
ed roods in the I nit< d States, w here
those pro luets are most easily t » In
had, and add millions to the we-ltJi
of the country by putting a cash
value on hitherto waste niaterl.il.
"While experts are laboring with
these experiments in the east, south
and middle west, another scientist.
also from the office of public i<mi<K, Is
engaged at Independence, Kan., in fry
ing to devise a method of constructing
oiled roads anulogons to the methods
which have produced the famous oile I
roads of southern Cullforuin. lie is
mixing heavy oils, possessing pro
nounced asphaltic buses, with natural
soil ami sand and compacting the
preparation so formed with a tamping
roller.
"The oiled roads of California have
saved millions of dollars to the farm
ers and fruit growers of flint fertile
state In the last few years by sup
pressing the dust Unit formerly arose
In blinding clouds with the passing of
every vehicle. Those dust clouds,
Moating to adjacent Helds and or
chards, depreciated the price of farm
produce and lowered the values of
real estate to a startling degree. The
sprinkling of oil was tried, and the
•lust was held In chock. Then some
of the roads wore plowed and the oil
mixed with tin* earth und the mass
firmly rolled to n properly crowned
lurface. splendid results followed In
most instances.”
Banks Make Donation For Now Roads.
As a starter for a fund to construct
n new road from Itcck river bridge to
the town ball In I»rury township. III.,
three banks in Moline. III . have do

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
On® of the Firct Essential® to Good
H ighways.
'I he King drag Is no donbt u good
tiling, but how about the wide tired
wagon? Observe the dirt road after n
thorough soaking. The farmer cannot
work iu his fields, und. having some
wheat, corn, oats or bogs to haul to
market, the time to haul is while
the fields are unfit to Is* worked, sav
ing time by doing so.
Ho loads ills product Into tils one
and a half Inch tired wagon, 3.000
pounds or more, and probably hitches
four horses to Ills load, and along the
whole distance he cuts a rut from
three to six Inches deep. Several of
his ncigldiora do likewise, and som
the road Is worked down to the con
sistency of mortar a foot deep, says J.

EFFECT OF NARROW AND WIDE TIRES.
bear me out when I sny that if these
tires had been four Inches or more
the road would have been benefited
rather than Unmnged. A wide tire un
der a load mukes an observer think
of a roller.
I think this wide tire proposition is
one of the first essentials to good ;
roads and should be encouraged by
legislation and a limit law for the
amount of load for every inch of tire ,
width. If wagon tires were required
to ho throe Inches or more for 2,000
pound loads und one additional inch
for each added 1,000 or major fraction
thereof, very much loss work would ho
required to maintain our roads.

'd yesterday by the chief of police
and Officers Peterman and Roles.
Ho Is charged with stealing a cow
•in broa dday light and‘selling the
same to Mr. Ford, the butcher. The
police do not know to whom the
cow belonged and as a means of
finding her owner give the follow
ing description: Red cow with
crooked horns, has been dry for
some time, but appears as though
she would become fresh In two
months.
Every woman desires a good com
plexion, but oft-times either ruin?
