COW OF POOR ROADS
In an address before the South
; western Development Association at
i Hoquiam, J. C. Lawrence, state rail
j road commissioner, and president of
the state Good Roads Association,
i said:
"The president of the national
good roads congress recently made
the statement that the extra cost of
I hauling over bad roads, compared
J with good roads amounted annually
in the United States to $250,000,000.
f this is true it will, at .1 conservative
| estimate, amount to $5,000,000 an
nually n the state of Washington.
This is a heavy tribute to had roads,
an enormous annual tax. paid on ac
count of dust and mud, two prime
causes of poor roads.
"This amount.does not cover all
the extra cost on account of poor
roads. Team haul is not all the use
to which roads are put.
"In railroad transportation about
85 per cent of the revenue in ibis
state is in the- haul of freight, the bal
ance from service. The extra cost of
haul given Is freight haul only. Rail
roads are constructed primarily [or
freight, haul. Itcosts on an average
0.4795 of a cent per ton per mile for
the movement cost of this haul.
I "To cheapen this cost the Groat
Northern and the Northern Pacific
railways united to build the Spokane,
, Portland & Seattle at a cost of $50,
--: "en. from Spokane to Portland,
and such expenditure is regarded as
the acme of railroad const ructoii. Yet
at most such expenditure can result,
in the reduction of only about a mill
ier ton per mile.
"If the railroads can profitably
spend $50,000,000 on 350 miles of
road to cheap, the haul 1 mill per
ton per mile, how much can the
state afford to spend for good
wagon roads to save 15 cents per ton
per mile? If the 1 ads. per ton per
mile extra cost makes $5,000,000 an-
nually, then we can afford to spend
the sum on whch this amount would
pay interest, or say about $100,000,-
eon, and thus be gainer on the added
enjoyment of passenger travel by
whatever conveyance used, besides
the increased land values and other
benefits.
| "There are three classes of roads in
the state under exsting laws: State
roads, built entirely by the state, un
der charge of the highway commis
sioners; state-aid roads, built in the
same manner, in which the state and
county each pays half the cost, and
■ounty roads, built by county commis
sioners anil paid for by the county
road tax,
"State roads are designed to con*:
nect distinctly separate communities,
and will be used principally for pas
senger traffic, except a short lq/cal
freight haul. State aid roads aivfe lo
cal roads, which may become 3l part
of the road system and which Anay be
ised as an object lesson in ro&d build
ing. County roads constitute the vast
road mileage n the state /estimated
at 50,000 miles.
"The state good roads, association
is not intended to foster/any particu
lar class of road building, but is for
the purpose of promoting the cause
of good roads of whatever class, and
by agitaton and education promote
his great movement,
"Controversies haveS arisen as to
existing laws governing road con
struction, and in order to gather in
formation and formulate better laws,
a legislative committee has been ap
pointed by the G-ooil Roads Associa
tion, one member from each county
in the state. This committee is to re
port at the next convention to be
held at Walla Walla in the latter
pari of November. It is hoped the
work of the committee may result in
a more united - effort in the great
;cause of good roads.
"But we are already making good
j progress. This year marks an epoch
in good road (instruction in the state
of Washington. A greater mileage of
state roads «'nd state-aid roads will
be built than during the preceding
years all pAit together. The county
commissioners of this state are doing
more and Letter work than ever be
fore. Better methods of construction
are being followed and a greater
mileage constructed than in any pre
vious year.
"I have been asked to give some
specific suggestions as to road build
ing . I am not an authority on this
subject. There are and will be many
I classes of roads in Washington.
In the most populous counties
and loading out of the principal cities
there will be boulevards, the highest
I class of road construction. In other
roads, near all centers of population
a higher class of road construction
will be necessary than further out
in the country. This does not apply
to what will constitute through lines
of travel.
"In all cases the proper location Is
of the first consideration.
"The greatest obstacles to good
i roads are mud and dust. To avoid
mud the water must be kept off the
road. Drainage is a great consider
ation. To secure this side ditching
must be constructed and the road bed
crowned. The water should be con
ducted aw. from the road as quick
ly as possible. The more rain the
more need of drainage. Without
good drainage no amount of work
will make a good road.
"Location, drainage, crown, grade,
width of road are all important, hut
dranage is the principle object
sought. The crown of the road is the
erection of a roof to shed water and
give drainage. Kills are made in
many instances to get the road up
out of the water. Culverts are con
structed to facilitate drainage. To
get the water off the road and away
from the road is the most Important
consideration in road building.
"One of the greatest needs is main
taining roads, and this is most neg
lected. If no attention were given to
a railroad after construction it would
soon be unfit for use. Men an- sta
tioned on sections of the railroad and
kept constantly at work. When a
wagon road is built it is left to care
for itself. We can never have good
roads without a system of mainte
nance. This is needed on present
roads.
"If competent men were set to
work over the different sections 0
important roads, not, to boss others,
but to do the irk themselves, a big
improvement would come at once.
Then we need mr good roads organ
izations in every community to see
that such lien do a tod honest day's
work, so as to gel lull value for the
money spent.
"Such work would take a large
number of men. To gel the best re
suits, politics should he kept out
of their employment. 1 have found in
almost any case of public employ
ment that as politics enter the door
efficiency flies out the window
"How can competent mi be ob
tained? The suggestion has been
made that our agricultural colleges
and state university send out com
petent men into the various counties
in the state to give short courses of
Instruction in road building and
maintenance. Then require a certifi
cate of attendance at such course of
instruction as a condition of employ
ment.
"Finally We must have co-opera
tion between, state and local author
ities. It is/easy to criticise. We all
make mistakes. No man lives who
knows l/iow to build a road that will
never/wear out. No one pretends to
kno» all about road building. We
wil/l have to progress by the process
of/ evolution. To succeed we must
*/york together. Each man must do
/his part.
"Then, when we have agreed on
standards of road construction and
a system of maintenance, and pub
lic spirit Is aroused and kept aroused,
to demand and secure efficiency of
labor and to make every dollar spent
give hack 100 cents value In material
and labor, we will have the result—
good roads."

CHAPTER I
Hollj hurst
It was June, ihe month of rosea,
and Hollyhurst was looking Its bust.
Hollyhui it was a small farm own
ed by Dr. Edward Gardner, It was
situated In the angle of two roads,
about half way between the city of
Ealrmont ami the villages of Ash
brook and Ended-. The house was
set well back from the mail street,
with a green lawn In front, and a
garde filled with old-fashioned
flowers on one side. Two fine old
elms stretched their arching branches
over the gate way, while i limbing
roses and honeysuckles wreathed the
piazza, Bending stray tendrils up to
ward the roof, and doll their best to
hide the faded blinds and weather
stained paint.
Lying on the lawn, under one of
the branching 'dins, were a boy and
a dog. The dog was a large and
beautiful one, pari New Foundland
and part St, Benard, and the boy was
an equally fine specimen of the hu
man race. lie was perhaps thirteen
years old, tall for that age, yet well
rounded, with a finely shaped head,
brown hair thai would have been
wavy had it not been so closely cut,
and eyes lear, soil and dark.
The boy was reading, hilt he look
ed up as a heavily loaded team went
Of- A little way beyond the house on
the main road, there was quite a hill,
and at Hie toot of this hill the horse
stopped. The drive alter waiting a
moment, tried to urge aim on, but
without effect: he shouted and swore
but the horse did not atari ho dis
mounted and attempted to lead him;
11"- horse ok a few steps, topped
again, and could not he induced to
go further,
The boy— Dr. Gardner's bod Reg
inald—threw down his hook, and
laying his hand on the dog's head
said:
"Duke, we must go and Bee what
is the trouble."
"Haven't you got too much of a
load on?" called out a man who was
driving a cart in the opposite di
rection.
"No," answered the teamster, "he
ought to draw this load and more
too. He's balky that's what the mat
tre."
A man in a wagon passing by rein
ed up and made various suggestions
hilt, none of tic in were effectual,
and the teamster kept on whipping
and swearing.
"Is It your own horse?" asked the
man.
"Yes, worse luck to me. I bought
him about two months ago, and he's
played this trick on me two or three
times already."
"What Is his name," asked Reg
inald, who had been standing quiet
ly by.
"He's got no name."
"That Is too bad! A horse feels
hardly respectable without a name.
Didn't the man you bought him of
call him anything?"
"Ho said somethinng about Pi
zarrer."
"O, Pizarro! good fellow!" said
the hoy, going up to the horse and
gently stroking his nose.
The horse turned his head and
peered out from his blinders as well
as he could.
"1 ain't going to call him any such
hifaluln' name," said the teamster,
"it sounds like pizen."
"Pizarro isn't such a bail name,"
replied the boy, "the man whom we
usually think of by that name had
considerable pluck and energy to say
the least."
The man stared stupidly but the
horse gave a low whinny.
"You like your name, don't you,
old fellow? Well, tnen, show us what
you can do," said Reginald, taking
hold of the bridle.
The horse gave a strong pull,
started and went on a few steps.
"Very good," -aid Reginald, en
couragingly, "come on now with me."
And again the horse started When-
ever I,- showed signs of stopping
the boy encouraged hi in with petting
or a "Come on, Pizarro!" until in
this way, the top of the hill was
reached.
"There, old fellow, you have done
it," exclaimed the boy in an exultant
tone. The dog seemed to share his en
thuiasm, for he leaped about with a
Joyous bark, and even the horse lift
ed his toad and shook it up and down
as If he, too, felt thai be had done
a good job.
"lie will go on all right now," said
Reginald to the teamster, who was
following; "but yuu bad rather a
heavy load on and your wheels don't
run quite true. That makes it harder
for him, especially going up hill."
'.'The wheels are well enough, but
there's no counting on a balky horse"
answered the man sullenly.
"He seem.-} to be a fairly good
horse, only lie Is a little discouraged,
and I don't think his shoes are just
right. When he putt his foot down
it isn't quite level- one side Is higher
than the other."
"Iv'e Just had him shod.? t
"Perhaps the blacksmith did not
understand his business. Horses feet
are not alike, any more than men's
are."
"Yon know altogether too much
for a youngster of your size."
"1 don't know it of myself," replied
Reginanld, modestly, but I go with
papa when the horses are shod and
' hear the men talk."
Are you Doctor Gardner's boy?"
"Ye
"Everybody knows he's a crank."
The boy flushed, but he answered
quietly;
"You can tee for yourself, by the
way the horse uses his feet that they
hurt him, especially that hind one."
The teamster made no reply.
"VVell ' ' must he going, come
. Duke," said Reginald, calling to the
- dog, "now for a race down hill."
> A young girl was standing in the
- gateway, under a canopy of elm
inches and called to him, as he
f •' '"' near. She was younger and fair
-1 er than he, but there was more than
I a common family resemblance be-
I tween them. Her eyes were soft and
■ dark like his. and she had the same
. frank, unstudied grace. Her hair,
i wavy and gold« a, was caught into one
I long, loose braid.
"Reggie," she said, "1 have been
, looking for you everywhere. l thought
, you must have gone with papa."
"Did you want me?"
"Yes, there are three little birdies
in that nest in the honeysuckle."
Are there? l must go and see
, them."
i "Wait Just a minute. That is the
mother bird with a worm in her
mouth; she is going to feed them.
Softly, Duke, softly! " she added,
slipping her slender hand under the
dog's collar, "don't you frighten the
birdies."
Duke ceased his demonstrations of
joy and stood quietly looking up in
to her face with a wiise and demure
expression.
Reginald ran lightly up the steps
to the piazza, and peered among the
luxuriant honeysuckle to find the
hidden nest.
i "There isn t much to a young bird
. but his mouth, is there, Hose?" he
■ said as he came back.
"They need large mouths," she an
! svvered, "for they like worms and
' strawberries and cherries. I told Pe
rez to leave _ little corner of my
strawberry outside the net, so that
the mother bird might know where
to find strawberries for them."
Reginald gave a low, peculiar, bird
like call. From the tree-top near by
came a responsive note.
'Rose, ) believe these are the same
robins that built a nest in the honey
suckle last year, It is almost In the
same spot, too."
"I hope so. Perhaps they will come
back every year, if we are careful
not to disturb them. Now, Duke, you
have been such an obedient dog that
we'll have a race," said Rose; and
away the Weill, out into the street
and around the corner Into the side
street, bringing up at the barnyard
gate. There they met Peres Deanen
going with his pails to milk the cows.
It was one of Rose's pleasures to
go with him. She liked the fresh,
sweet odor of the milk; she liked to
watch the patient creatures, meekly
surrendering the life-giving nectar
for the benefit of others. One little
Jersey was her especial pet. She had
named it Clover, for it seemed the
embodiment of the clover fields, and
its breath their ethereal essence. A
clean ami roomy barn is always an
attractive place. Reginald and Rose
liked to climb the narrow stairs into
the large hay loft where stray sun
beams crept, in through the dusty
windows— and there bury each other
in the fragrant hay.
After milking came the feeding of
the various animals. The children us
ually shared in this work, and it was
to them an ever fresh delight. While
Reginald measured out grain and
pulled down hay for the horses and
cows. Rose gathered for them clover
and fresh grass.
"It will serve as a salad," she
said.
They carried fresh milk to the
lambs and laughed to see them kneel
down before the basins in their eag
erness to drink; they made a tour
of the coops, watching the hens and
chickens and pigeons In their wild
scramble for food; they did not for
get risky, the cat, and her two kit
tenns, and It wat an unfailing amuse
ment to see the English rabbits lift
up their quivering noses to catch the
j dainty leaves bestowed upon them.
] Duke usually followed them about,
gravely watching all the proceedings.
His supper came last of all. His gen
tlemanly instincts' would not permit
him to eat until all the other ani
mals had been fed.
"Now Duke," said Rose, when he
had finished, "we must go and watch
for papa. He is late tonight; old Don
will be very hungry. Come Duke."
