'".""A BUAU OP tTTTtf COST. ?
Maine ttn tfni Expensive and Moat
Substantial of Telford Hlghwaya.
One of the least expensive and
most substantial of tdlford roads In
this country is safd to be the St.
George highway. In Knox county,
IL lb IS reel In width, thor
oughly drained and cost only 50 centa
jer foot, or .S2.640 per lineal mile.
This low cost was pos.v.jblo becauso
stones of suitable size ior the lower
courses were beside the road, and
grahite chips were bad for the mere
hauling from tbe grcutheaps of quar
ries close by the road.
A description of this road says
Its gutters carry away every drop of
water. The lower course of tho bed
Is of stones of varying sizes, none so
big that a man coult^not alone handle
each, and thoy wore so' placed as t?
tend to bind themselves together, al
though they were fitted together rath*
er roughly. Smaller pieces were then
fitted into the crevices of this lower
layer. With long handled hammers
men went over this and broke up any
bits which were too large.
On these were spread granite chlpa
from the refuse heaps of the adjoining
quarry^ ThlB ton dressing was com
pacted with ? -roller drawn by horaea,
and -an excellent road was the result

In many localities it is thecustom
to extend to the center of the road
driveways leading from adjacent landa
to the road to meet Its center grade.
This practice makes it necessary to
I carry the gutter water undor the
driveway in a pipe. Nearly always It
is possible, bjc^regradlng such a drive

will flow by without interruption.
Thla should always be done when
possible. Pipes with open ends laid

isfactory, since they fill up quickly
with leaves and sard and with slush
in winter time, and thus the surface
water is forced out upon the macadam
and roou gullL?a it. Waeq a pipe is
required, a calyh basin should be
built on tho u;Sper side of the drive
way, the pipe should be laid to con

Major Kennon Builds Famous Road
with Aid of Band.
*" Major L. W. V. Kennon, now com
mandlng a battalion of the Tenth In
fantry, U. S. A., in building the famous
Benguct road through the mountains
of Northern Luzon, Philippine Islands,
accomplished a fear called humanly
Impossible. It took music, money and
a mongrel army of 4,000 men to do
4ti bqt B?ngu?t road stands to-day one
of the remarkable highways of the
world. Major Kennon's army of 4,000
road builders did not like to work;
when they did it was with slow, slug
gish movement.
_ One dar Malar Kennon assembled
his band, made up of men of all na
tions, and ordered it to move quietly
and secretly to a place where several
-hundred Filipinos were engaged in
drilling holes in the canyon walls,
and play a favorite oriental air. In
stantly the Filipinos caught the spirit
of the music and began to beat thtir
drills against the rock tn rhythm.
The- band followed the Filipinos
along the way and played wherever
they worked. From laborers worth
aboutlO cents a day they developed
Into muslcai machines that worked to
drum beats. Major Kennon Insist*
that his band etwed the Phillppia*
Government thousands of dollars.
