In conclusion, the committee consider il
their duty to emphasize the importance Of this
matter and the desirability of prompt action.
1t has been suggested that before authorizing
the work Of reforming the subdivisions in ques-
ton, plan should be prepared for the entire
work and an estimate obtained "a to its proba.
BILE cost. But the making OF such q compre-
hensive plan and estimate would necessarily
consume many months-probably years. In
the mean time the cost Of the work would
probably be doubled. And when the plan shall
have been prepared and an estimate submitted.
many months will necessarily elapse before
Congress can take final action in the matter
and the required appropriation will become
available, and months more would pass before
the damages could finish its work. In the
mean time the value OF the land to be
taken and the number Of buildings to
be removed would increase to such an
extent that the estimate would be worthless
1t has seemed to the committee, therefore, that
the proper course is to proceed at once to
make the required alterations in existing SUBJ
divisions and to do the work in sections, SO
that it will not be necessary to delay beginning
the changes until plan of the whole work
shall have been adopted.
The streets in the CITY and those laid out in
conformity thereto, either before the passage
OF the act OF August 1888, or under the opera
ton OF that law, sufficiently indicate in manv
instances where the new streets through incon-
gruons subdivisions must go, and in such cases
nothing is to be gained by delay. Indeed
the committee is convinced that if the work
shall not be entered upon at once and carried
through with all possible dispatch, the
dimcuites in the way Of doing the work
at all will become SO great that it viii
PROBABLY never be done. The evil has
reached it's present magnitude because of the
failure to take action when it was first felt
Had the act Of 1888 been enacted twenty years
earlier than 1t was all that it is proposed TO do
now would have been accomplished without
the expenditure of a dollar. Had the rectifica.
ton Of these subdivisions been authorized.
even when the act Of 1858 was passed. the work
would have cost probably not one-hah what il
will cost now. II it should be delayed few
years more the cost will double again. Soon,
instead Of rectifying suburban subdivisions, .
city viii have to be replatted.

for and again kicks it, his companions running
ahead in order to be in readiness to send the
stick on its further flight This operation is
continued throughout the entire course, the
vance as rapidly as possible that they may kick
the stick as often as their companions
"Not infreQuently the first kicking of the
sticks sends them flying over the heads of the
second and even the third racers in advance
and fall near each other. The excitement at
dozen young men spare themselves in
scrambling over and pushing one another in
order to secure the stick and send it on its
course. No difficulty is experienced by a racer
in recognizing the stick OF his party, that be-
longing to one side having band Of red paint
around the center, the other an additional
though narrower stripe around both ends.
GOOD KICKERs.
"Considering the extreme ightness Of
the race stick the distance which il
il sent by . single kick, or rather toss,

stick 10 raised aloft in this manner about
thirty feet, and falls at least q hundred feet
from the point at which it was thus lifted. Nor
10 the distance which the kick il sent the only
requisite OF success. Sometimes narrow sandy
trail bordered by weeds is to be traversed, and
careless kick will probably result in send
ing the stick in the brush or into an arroya

touch q stick with his hands until he reaches

varies greatly. and long stretches of deep
sand alternate with rocky passes, arroyas and
hills clothed with scrub timber or sage-brush.
Indeed, smooth ground il seldom met with

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.

II 10 provsrbial that the average Yankee
has great head for figures" Il Is con-
sistsnt with this reputation that the
American people arc just now exercising
their brains over great number OF
''prohlems. Among these may be
mentioned the race problem at the South.
the labor problem, the poiygamy problem.
civil service reform. ballot reform. tariff
reform. the liquor question. woman

But IL 10 doubtful whether any Of these

The great question Of the just and proper
relations between the transportation CON-
psnies and the people. especially in respect
10 productive industry.
Much food for serious thought on this
uhIect Is contained in an interview with
r. V. fowderiy. published in the New
York Herid OF the Goth ult. Referring TO
the condition OF affairs In the Eastern coal
regions. scores Of mines shut down and
thousands OF miners thrown out of en-
ploymena Mr.. fowderly says, "we are
told that the coal Is not being mined be-
cause there is no demand for L.; that the
supply exceeds the demand. and as q
consequence the hundreds OF mines and
breakers In this vicinity must stand idle
fer eight months out Of twelve"
In answer TO this plea he quotes from a
letter lust received from friead in
Nehraska. who writes that the farmers in
his section are burning corn for fuel be-
cause Il Is cheaper than coal at the price
which rules In that region. which Is from
sis to SIC per ton. II coal could be had at
s. ~ $40 per ton in Nebraska Il L. pretty
