Pe SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1925 COUNTY ROAD SITUATION (DEAL 1 BUT LABOR M (Continued From Page One) careful and constant maintenance is necessary, or early summer rains and high winds will effect such great damage that instead of abolition of the highway department being an economical measure, it will inevit ably result in excessive and inescap. able repair costs. There was rainfall last weet a before the roads dried the travel of heavy trucks plowed such deep ruts over at least two graded highways that only the work of a maintainer will repair the damage. Over level stretches in sandy country the drainage ditches on eith- er elde are filled with sand every few days by the winds and this nec- essitates frequent work. The wind also, in certain unprotected places tears great holes into the highways and if these are not repaired in time trayel can be accomplished only by swerving out over private property. “Only two things are necessary for e making and the keeping of good ads; Nate Wilson, county road su- ntendent, decfares. ‘hese two things are common sense and proper care for drainage. The common sense part also requires t the grad be made and kept at correct per centages.” Several of the county highways were traveled over last week by a representative of the Tribune with the object of determining the kind of work that has been done since Wilson's appointment to the office last January. Wilson, {t will be recalled, has UST HALT MAY 1 between the Burlington and North: | western railroad tracks ‘This is now being filled, a culvert will be in- stalled and yesterday Wilson in- structed his men to gravel the sur- face from a gravel deposit nearby, The Cadoma bridge at Bishop, a 00-foot structure was built this year at the unusual low cost of $12 running foot. Bridges have bith: cost much more but Wilson | that on the next large structure he | builds he will beat this Cadoma | bridge record by from $1 to $2 a| foot. | After 100 yards or so through de sand, the FL road changes into a fine smooth highway of sufficient width to delight the heart of the motor enthusiast. It has been ré cently worked and is in tip-te e. Five new bridges and cul verts are needed, however, Wilson says, before it car be completed to Oil City. There are long stretches of graveled surface on this highway. | Two weeks ago this road was in ar extremeiy bad condition, Not much praise can be given to the Oregon Trail, branching from t FL road and jea@ing through to In dependence Rock. ‘This is an ex- ample of a road that has been per- | mitted to lapse into ill-repair. Traf- fic after rains has cut deep ruts into it. Wilson had planned to put men on this stretch in the near future. ‘The Bessemer-Oil City road as far as Goose Egg ranch has never been worked and-in a mere trail. On new bridge is needed over a parti ularly deep and muddy draw. effected the remarkable saving of 26,892.80 when compared with the total spent by his predecessor in the rst quarter of 1924. Wilson has spent less than $10,000 during his term of office and all roads that haye been worked over during weather that would permit so far this spring, are in excellent con- dition. His predecessor spent $36,- 706.37 in the same period in 1924 Most important to. Casper motor- ists from a point of view of scenic attraction is the Casper Mountain road This road besides being worked to tigftop has been widened, bould- ers that caved down during thé*win- ter months and made travel all but tmpoasible have been cleared out and today the road twists and curves, an exgellent highway to the summit where lies Casper Mountain park. When. work on the road was start- ed this spring, snow banks and small avalanches of rock had formed in the nook of hair pin turn part way up the mountain. This place, marked with a danger warning sign by the Casper Motor club, wes cleared out, a wider space was cut and, for the watchful motorist, travel over this scenic highway, is no longer danger- ous. More work is needed, however. Wilson says a crew has only worked on the road a week and he estimates that four more weeks of work are necessary to put the road in satis- ractory condition. There are general repairs and new fills necessary in several places. A heavy rain that was not followed soon afterwards by a repair crew would make. the road practically impassable. Wilson points out that highways, especially mountain highways cannot be main- tained without constant work. About $200 has been spent this year on the mountain road. The Garden Creek road leading to the club house of tie Central Wyo- ming Automobile club branches off from the mountain road. It also has been worked and is in excellent con- ditian. It 4s largely on the Casper Moun- taln road that Cesper boosters are depending for tourist attraction in this vicinity. ¥ Work on the Thirty-three-mi.» road was started March 1. This high- way, one of the most important in the county, leads to Kaycee in John- son county, passes large ranches and is so heavily traveled that it is re- garded as one of the most important highways in the county. Wilson's crews have worked it past the Powder river bridge, Over muoh of this distance an entirely new grade was made. In many places it was widened. Over the distance that has been repaired culverts are to he placed and certain repairs are is estimated still necessary and it work will require at least more, All the’ bridges 1 painted now working 45 is road and tain time Health Brings Beauty Manchester, Iowa.—"I am glad to have the opportunity to tell of the great benefit I have received by tak: Ing Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion and Golden Medical Discovery, They are the two finest medicines | have ever used.

Over moun ous curves, it has been widened by cutting deep into the jutting banks on one side and across a stretch of flats q part gravel surface has been spread. This {s also a scenic high- way with possibilities for tourist at- traction. On one side red mountain cliffs of the Chugwater formation ex- tend an invitation to hiking and ex- ploring parties. The road crosses the Platte river which winds beautifully at the foot of the mountain near the Goose Egg old stone ranch house. East of town the Blackmore, or as it is better kiown, the Brooks road, is being worked and re-graded New bridges have been installed to replace rotted structures and others have been repaired, New culverts are being installed and about six miles from Casper a few of Wilson's $20-a-month teams are working, making heavy fills and supplying new grade. When worked down o little more it will be an excellent highway. It has already been raised at least three feet in places whe danger from water made such work necessary. It has been planned to extend this road through Deer Creek can- yon to Deer Creek park, This w. also constitute a drive through beau- tiful scenic country. Another of the important drives from the viewpoint of Casper folk is the road leading to the Country club. Wilson's men re-worked this road last in January and it has been kept in shape ever since with little expense. A maintainer was working the gravel into the dirt to make a more compact bed last Friday. The thoroughfare 1s in good condition. A considerable amount of work has been done on the Second street road this spring and for a country road a machine travels over it at from 40 to 45 miles easily, The Ormsby road northwest town has been re-built this spring. Fifteen miles hag been thorough! worked and when new culverts and minor repairs are made it will be a credit to the county. It winds | through a flat country most of its course which necessitates much | drainage provisions. It branches off the Salt Creek highway beyond the Nine-mile road and leads to Gillette It is still rough in places but for the most part {s in fair shape. Three weeks with a tractor and a few days with teams are still needed. It has been widened so that two cars can pass. This thoroughfare 1s one that runs part way through flat sandy | couritry where strong winds have full sweep and soon fill the neat straight drainage at either side.

Whole buying and buying at open bids hay also resulted in economy, Wile has been buying his bridge mate fals for $35 per thousand feet. where as in 1924 the amount spent for | such materials was from $42 to $47 a thousand feet. One of the first things done by the | superintendent-when the took office | in January was to lay off eight men working for $4.50 a day and board in the Spring Creek canyon.
