Washington. Jan. 11. Officials <>r
the Treasury Department some times
discuss the nations somewhat cum
bersome coinage and make sugges
tions to one another that this or that
change might bring r* lief to rti“ work
ing forces of the department. Gener
ally these discuslsons do not go be
yond the inner circl • where they orig
inate, no change is made or evi n sug
gested seriously and the work of tin*
mint goes on as before.
Recently, however, the fact leaked
out that ta«* r»-ci lit piece, or “nickel*'
had been under discussion, and that
the government might ask Congress to
pass a law eliminating it from the
national coinage. Small likelihood
exists or ever did exist that such a
step would he taken, but for a short !
space of time considerable nrixiet>
developed in all parts i f the country
lest the useful and popular "nickel” i
should disappear from toe circulat

GOOD GYPSUM ROAD.
Successful Experiments With the Min
era) Made by Kansas Experts.
V. s. Henrluirr. state highway en
jrln«*r «»f Kdiisun, who recently re
turned from nn Inspection four through
the soulhwpMtrrn part of that state,
says t!*«• county commissioners iu that
part of (lie state believe in perma
nent roads and i*ermancnt bridges.
Mr. Gearhart Is well pleased with the
results of ibe experiment in road build
ing through Hie sand bills near Harden
City.
"A little more than n year ago.” lie
said, “the commercial club mid the
county commissioners requested tlie
office of public romis to send a man
out to invcstltrnfc possibilities of im
proving this road. .Mr. Spoon, the sand
clay export, made thorn a visit nnd
found that tliere were largo deposit*
of gypsum ail along the road. Tests
wore made on the gypsum, showing
ttiat It would make a good binder for
llto sand. The people decided to con
I struct 700 feet of road under the di
rection of Mr. Spoon, and It was so
satisfactory that they have now fin
ished six miles of road at a total cost
of $n,500. The 700 feet constructed
first Is smoother now than the remain
der because the sand and gypsum were
thoroughly mixed by plowing, disking
end borrowing. The remainder was
constructed by placing six inches of
gypsum on the sand for a width of
twelve feet and then n few inehes of
sand were placed on top of this nnd
left for the traffic to do the mixing.
“It requires about two years to get a
road In first class condition when con
structed in tills manner, but it is much
cheaper than the other construction.
Hot, dry weather is the worst enemy
of this typ“ of road, but despite the
k-onght It is now in excellent condi
tion and compares very favorably with
the best macadam roads. The surface
is hard nnd smooth and shows no signs
of wear.
“The only complaint any one has to
make Is that ♦ tie road is so smooth that
locks must be placed on the wagons so
that they can b*» safely taken down the
hills. Some still refuse to get a lock
and In going down drive with one
wheel out in the sand and the other oil
the hard road. One year ago the
sand on the road was so bud that peo
ple living ten miles south of Harden
just heyotul the hills, hauled their
cv.iiii forty miles south to a railroad
si. Hon. .while at present grain and
I <1 : e ere being hauled twenty-eight
miles north to Harden t’lty.
“It is a place to go to be ‘shown* It
one lias any doubt In his mind about
the possibility of successfully con
structing a sand, gypsum or clay road.’'
ROAD REPAIRER ENJOINED.
Physician Who Tried to Improve High
way Served With Injunction.
Widespread Interest hus been created
in good roads circles in the case of Dr.
Donald McCaskey of WTtnaer, Da., who
has been restrained from making fur
ther improvements to the Witraer road,
a much traveled thoroughfare of Eust
Lampeter township.
The physician, after failing to get the
roHd supervisors of his local township
to (lx a dangerous and uukept half
mile of yellow clay roadway, in des
perutiou aud at Ids own expense be
gan to make repairs to the road him
self. The doctor built Kiug road drag*
and hired horse* from farmers through
out the community who would rent
them, and, not being able to Induce
anybody to repair the road for him,
the physician drove the team and rode
tliodrag himself. Occasionally a small
ls»y was taken along to stand on the
drag for ballast.
After fifteen hours of strennUus la
bor distributed over a period <if six
fo eight weeks after each rnin the neg
lected byroad was transformed Itito a
substantial highway. All that was
used wus the simple wooden instru
ment termed the split log drag, which
can be made by any farmer out of a
log or a few ls>ards.
The physician's efforts worked such
u transformation In the minds of the
incredulous Inhabitants of bis com
imuiity that the road drug met with
popular favor, and the ro.id ottlciala
began to be critically censured for
tbelr alleged ItKlIapoaitkui to fulfill the
duties of their official office
They promptly secured an Injunction
restraining the physician from doing
any more work of the kind, alleging
that he had done this work “to the
Injury of the road at times aud to the
Inconvenience of the traveling public M
Tlte enso Is still before the courts.
