Ike I.unneM JTwr. Arjjind !? Some
tliiirn the Mont Economical ,
l'-' Way Hone.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 18.? The
Storage life of horses and automo
biles may be increased and the cost of
gaining reduced, according to the Of
fice of Koads, of the Department of
Agriculture, by relocating many old
toads and the more scientific laying
Gut of new ones. The natural ten
dency in road building la to build a
atraight road, whether it goes over
tteep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and1
vehicles.
The doctrine of the Office of ioads
is that the longest way around may
Qften by the shortest and most econo
mical way home,' and' that frequently
by building ah lghway around a hill
org rade, but little appreciable dis
tance is added and this is more than
offset by the reduced strain of haul- i
tag.
The chief drawback from the farm !
owner's point of view Is that the lay
ing otft of roads on this principle of
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases, running the road through food
farm land or orchards or pastures,
SBtead of going around the farm line
id building the road through old
rn-out fields and over rocky knolls.
i?? of course, must raise a ques
tion in the mind of the Individual land
wnw as to whether thee uttlng up of
hlsp roperty by a road yields him in
dividual advantages and so -benefits
his Comniuivity as to offset the use of
such land for a road, or to overcome
the inconvenience of having his land
divided. In this connection the Office
of Roads points out that the running
of a road and the. resulting traffic
through a good farm, where there are
good sheep, cattle, horses, grain,
fruit, or vegetables, has a certain. ad
vertising value and in many instances
makes the land more valuable. In
oHierc ases, the importance of such
a level road to the community Is so
great that it might well repay those
using the road to give the farmer the
equivalent in land equally good in
place of what he has sacrificed to
the common welfare.
At any rate, the Office of Roads is
now taking special pains to make
clear the economic advantage of
avoiding steep grades in their roads,
even at some sacrifice of better land,
lavestigation shows that the laying
~crf such roads over hills has resulted
more from attention to the preserva
tion of farm lines than from scientific
attention to the problem of road build
ing. '
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where a horse might be
able to pull 4,000 pounds on a level
read, itw ould have difficulty in pull
ing 3,000 pounds up a steep hill. The
size of the load, therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market. In a num
ber of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished, either
^ with no addition in road length in
some instances, and with the adding
of only a few feet to the highway in
f others. The office knows" of no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
aay question as to Its material reduc
tion of hauling costs.

"THE RIDING COOX.*
Texan s Prepared to Protect Them*
seltfNy
Austin, Texas, Nov. 17. ? "In the
event Mexicans start any trouble v.e
will protect ourc itizens and not wait
for Washington to act," declared Gov
ernor O. B. Colquitt late today after a
conference with Adjutant General
Hutchings. While nothing official was
given out, it is known that the Texas
Xattonal Guard is in readiness to an
swer on short notice any call that
uiig'.it be made.
The conference was the outcome
of a threat today by Mexicans resid
ing in Texas to make Texas "answer
to the whole Mexican people," unless
mercy was shown Mexican ammuni
tion smugglers charged with mur
der.
Governor Colquitt did not apprise
Washington of today's events. He
said that during a recent outbreak
along the Mexican border Federal
troops did not act until the Texas
rangers had been called out.
Tl\cre has been no disturbance so
far.
