TSSKls BY EAIL * TRAIN LOAD OF EXPERTS ON EDUCA* m TiONAL TOUR. * \ : * - v l\% Third Traia That Has Been Sent Omt by the Rational Association?Sonth to Be Taught to Bolld Hlckmn ' Scientifically. A train of twelve cars, known as the "Good Roads Special," left Washington on the .lines of the Southern. L railway early In November to stop at ten or twelve of the chief cities reached . by the system and aid in organizing good roads associations and at the - ?omo Hmfl (Htro a nrnr?+l/>nl lllnafroHnn of modern roadmaking. The tour win end Jan. 1. ^ "7 "pie train carried a full equipment of roadmaking machinery and a party a of eighteen persons, all skilled In tho . w manufacture of good dirt and macadam roads. It is the third such train ^ to be organized through the. efforts of the National Good* Roads association. one having been sent along the route h* of the Illinois Central from April to m July and a second having traversed the m district between Chicago and Buffalo 4 along the routes of the Lake Shore :M route and the New York Central. Ev-/ . ery where the meetings have been wlde' ly attended and have produced per- , , manent organizations determined, to ny better the country roads of the sec tion concerned. Mr. Martin Dodge, director of the ofk flee of public road Inquiries In the agricultural department, and M. O. El- ' drldge, his assistant, with Mr. W. H. ? Moore, president of the National Good Roads association, are In charge of the % "Good Roads Special." Under their direction fourteen road experts, Mr. R. W. Richardson, secretary of the na- 1 tlonal association, and several clerks will undertake to organize in each of the cities visited a permanent food roads association. To this end they *6 will confer with the mayor and city council of each city and the officers of Its commercial organizations, arrange .' "* LOAD IK WBOWG PIU.CB. ' that a suitable ball shall be hired and ' M obtain the use of ten or twelve teams, as many men and a sufficient, supply. of crushed stone to construct a length /' , . ,'j of good road as a sample. When the train arrives, the engineer! will begin at once to build about a * mile of dirt road with the trains, men and materials furnished by the locality. They will then surface or macadamize as 4nuch of that road as their time will permit When the practlca0 blllty of the movement has been thus manifested, the mayor and commercial organizations will unite In a call for a public meeting to organize an assocte* tlon. v President Moore of the National Good Roads association says of th* project: "The south can havfi good roads if it Will, and the sooner the ^citizens get. together and work along some well or* ganlzed and practical line these result! will be reached the quicker. There'll nothing that will do more to Increase the value of virgin lands and advance the development of the rural districts than well constructed public roads. The Improvement of thfe road system will have a wonderful effect upon stimulating the settlement of people on farms, and as these settlements are being made so will the value of the land Increase. "Wherever a city or town is found > possessing well made roadways lead*. lug tnererrom you wiu uuu uie uuar ness of that point Is In a prosperous l condition. Therefore the citizens of -every town in the south will be promoting their owl* interests If they giva this movement their moral and if nec- \ essary financial stipport "It is hoped that every state, county, city and town officer will give this subject'of better roads serious corisldera tlon and then take the matter in, hand Immediately and show his constituents . ' that the movement for better roads will receive his utmost consideration and utmost co-operation. "It is universally decided that good roads are what we want In order to * secure them we must pull together, working systematically and on practl1 cal lines. This grand tour, planned by the Southern Railway company, la .a ^ signal for action. If the states visitiM ed are not alive to this and do not avail themselves of the opportunity to secure information rendered by tbe good roads special train, no one will be at fault * except the citizens of the states In - . . which the exhibits are made." I Grades of Roads. | The grade is the most Important fae? tor to be considered In the location of roads. The smoother the road surface L the less the grade should be. Whether the road be constructed of earth, stone or gravel, steep grades should always gjl De avoiaea u possiuie. me/ ucvuiui covered at times with coatings of tee or slippery soil, making them very difficult to ascend with loaded vehicles, at well as dangerous to desftnd. They allow water to rush down at such a * rate as to wash great gaps alongside or to carry the surfacing material away. As the grade Increases In steep- ' ness either the load has to be dlmln> lshed In proportion or more horses m k power attached. _ g ? A PERSONAL APPEAL.
