Tns COAST DEFENSE PROBLEM.

lloyd Bryce, in his clever story
which isnot story, but skit--in the
hast issue of "Lippincott' makes it evil
dent that he has not read and travelled
nor passed term in Congress for moth
ing. lie has seen and heard and
thought enough evidently, to impress
him with the idea that this country
would be in bad way were any foreign
power TO attempt descent on our
coasts. His skit is proper article to
follow Frank II. Stockton's more opti-
mistic Great War Syndicate" and has
the advantage of being-all circum-
stances considcred-less improbable.
Dir, Bryce represents China, who, of
late, has been making rapid strides as a
military power, resenting our treatment
Of her and bearing down upon us with
her now very powerful navy. The
weakness of our navy and coast defenses
are wildly illustrated, and the ease
with which strong foreign power
could capture New York is demon
strated. The article sticks to facts, so
far as its description of the present
situation goes, and. grotesque as some
0f its fancies are, is logical.
An argument for coast defenses and
better ships of war is, in short, what the
brilliant writer makes. How would it
be were the argument one writer ad-
yances and the idea another suggests to
be taken together in practical way,
and q syndicate formed for coast defense
purposes.
More than one system of coast defense
has been devised by ingenious Ameri-
cans, and 1t is only apathy that has pre-
vented the adoption by the Government
of some one of them. The system Of

The Frozen Oow-Boys.
SUFFERING OF THE MEN CAUGHT IN THE
NEW MEXICO BLIZZARD.

TRINIDAD, Col, November I2,-The
bodies of John Martin and Henry Mil
Ter, the COW boys who We're frozen to
death near Sierra Grade in last weeks
terrible blizzad, were brought to Fol
son for burial. -Four other men be-
longing to the same party are missing
and it is feared that they are dead.
1t is reported by parties who know that
at least twenty men are missing from
this range and it is feared many of
them will never be found.
Jolly and Wise, the men who escap-
ed badly frozen, tell heartrending
story of their sufferings When the
blizzard struck them Wednesday night
of last week they were holding he d
of $500 cattle. The wind became a
hurricane before morning, and when
Martin and Jolly went on the last
guard about A. NJ, the storm was so
binding that they could not hold the
herd. jolly started to the camp for
help, In the meantime Miller and
Wise had left the camp to assist in
holding the cattle. Jolly could not
find the camp, and Miller and Wise
could not find the herd.
All three were brought together by
shouts and wandered around until day
light, when they found Martin. The
cold was so bitter that the men entered
a ravine, and, after fastening the hors-
es, took the saddle blankets and buried
themselves in a snow drift. About
three in the afternoon and it was only
by the greatest efforts that Jolly and
Wise succeeded in keeping awake-they
were slightly apart from Martin and
Miller, and had difficulty in talking to
each other. The snow piled upon them
to such weight that they were forced to
seek another drift,
| About o'clock Friday morning
Miller called Jolly and Wise and told
them they had all better go, and when
they crawled out they made a search
in the drift for Miller and Martin. The
latter only could be found and he was
dead. They took the horses and start
ed, leading them, Soon they found
Miller on his knees, his horse standing
in front of him as though trying to
protect him from the cold. He was
asked to get up and go with them, but
he was unable to rise and was assisted
TO his feet, but could not walk.
Jolly started to get assistance while
Wise remained with their dying com
panion. Both Of Wise's hands arc
frozen, and he was helpless sud was
fast becoming insenslble himself when
the Mexican sheep-herder found hin
and took him to Rhodes ranch few
miles distant, The men returned (,
} where Miller had been left and foun,
him ifeless.

structure. As TO the cost OF crushing,
| quote from the statements of three
parties that now own and now run
three crushers. As to the sum paid
for and the capacity of the crushers,
have authority from two parties that
bought crushers and use them, and so
on.
CONDITIONS VARY.
But S2s45 is such large price for
mile of road as almost to discourage
hope. Can macadam roads be built
for lessi Mr.. Pope, the civil engineer,
fixes S2l00 as the cost of a macadam
lS feet wide, and in depth an average
of inches.
AS crushers can readily be moved,
hauls can be shortened to crusher and
dump. Thus hauls need not be ex-
pensive. If one horse and one man
costs a township three dollars a day,
stone can be hauled a short distance
for a comparatively small sum. Thus,
exclusive of quarrying, | believe with
out further calculation here, a 12-foot
width, l 0 inch depth could be built for
$500. There are plenty of stone
rows and banks of stone along roads
that could be utilized. While as high
as fifty cents perch is paid for quar-
rying stone, stone in quarries of soft
rock.. that / could name is quarried for
fifteen cents Or, if a contract is
made with parties to haul stone, as
high as seventy cents or a dollar may
be paid, but the price for hauling per
perch at township rates and by placing
the crusher close to the work, will be
surprisingly low. Thus, think, we
come within Mr.. Pope's estimate,
which is that of civil engineer.
There is another grant that | think
we should ask of our Legislature, and
that is that the burden of road reform
should be shared in reasonable measure
with real estate by personal and corpo-
rate property. As an indication of the
drifts of opinion in this direction, was
glad to hear such a leading active
citizen aud legislator as General Goblin
advocate at Williams Grove State
appropriation in behalf of macadam
roads.
