Must the Locomotive 90?
From the Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant.
The locomotive was born in 1929
on the Manchester and Liverpool
road, and consequently is not
quite seventy years old. At the
time of It's birth it weighed only
four tons. 1t has increased great.
ly IN weight and stature and in
favor with the travelling public.
individuals have reached a weight
of 100 tons. 1t has kept up with
the times and become as nearly
perfect a machine as its essential
allowed. 1t has served humanity
well, bringing it news, food, friends
in fact, everything that men
would send for and could pay for.
Indirectly it has built cities and
carried civilization from Boston
over our country. Our country
might more properly take the To-
comotive than any other device for
It's "armorial bearings" Three
locomotives rampant on a field
gules, quartered with a steamship
regarant, and supported by two
telegraph poles couchant, with the
motto "Wide open," should be on
the coat Of arms of our age. But
there are not wanting signs that
the days of the locomotive are
numbered, and 1t is doubtful if he
survives one full century. The
motor has the advantage of him,
because it is cheaper to transmit
the power from boiler on wire
than to transmit the boiler itself.

REDUCING EXPENSES.


a novel measure to encourage the
economical administration of the
government. The bill provides
that when the expenditures of the
government are greater than the
receipts thereof, that there shall
be deducted from each salary in
excess of 5000 per month, 20 per
cent thereof, and from each salary
under said amount, 10 per cent
thereof. Mr.. Shafroth when seen
concerning the same said:
"All will admit that in times of
peace, 1T is wise policy to restrict
the expenditures of the govern
ment to the receipts thereof. No
government should mortgage its
industries and resources except to
preserve itself. The great ten,
dency towards extravaganza in the
appropriations and expenditures
OF this government, arises from the
fact that the members of Congress
and the officers of the government,
have no direct interest in restrict.
ing the same. 1t is easy to be lib
eral with other peoples money.
Millions of dollars are voted each
year for unworthy projects, be-
cause they are coupled in the
same bill with meritorious matters.
In order TO overcome that tendency
toward extravaganza, some means
must be devised TO make the Off
GERS directly interested in econom'
ical administration. Members of
Congress, when they find that their
salaries may each be cut $50 a
month, will readily conclude that
the unworthy appropriations
should be separated from the meri-
torious ones, and thus millions of
dollars saved without any detri-
ment whatever to the nation.
One of the strongest influences
operating upon the Members of
Congress, is that of the officers of
the government, high and low,
appealing for increase ofappropria.
tons, increase Of salaries, and in
crease of employees. 1t causes
sentiment for extravaganza to
pervade Washington, that has an
enormous effect upon legislation.
The influence Of such measure
upon all the officers of the govern.
nent, will be to limit their de- |
nands upon Congress, for appro.
and to cause them to
practice economy in their own de-
paftments. When they ascertain
that such demands may effect their
own compensation, it can be pre-,
licted with certainty, that economy
will prevail. The revenues of the
nation have at all times been
uflicient to give good administra-
ion. Under the influence of such
law, an entirely different senti-
nent, will exist at the National
)apitol. The officers and employ
es will then be urging Members
+ Congress to keep the appropria-
ions within the estimated rev.
nues and the making Of places
Or political friends will be un-
nown,
In my judgement, the passage
f such a bill, which simply lnjects
ne element of personal interests
ito the affairs of the nation, will
,rever in times of peace, prevent
deficit in the Treasury, and at
ne same time, by simply curtail-
g the unwise appropriations, will
OF impair the efficiency Of the ad,
Iinstrahon Of the government"

ASPHALT BEDS.
Valuable Tract. of Land on the uintsh
Reservation.

Reservation.
High up in the Rocky Mountains,
with a general elevation OF from 5000
to 6.ooo feet above the sea, is a great
basin called the Uinta 1t is I7o miles
long from east 10 west and about 100
miles across, north and south Part OF
the basin is in Utah and part OF it in
Colorado. This region has been given
over to Indian occupancy until recently,
and very little has been known about it.
Green river cuts the basin in halves.
That is almost literal description, for
Green rivers course across the basin
, is through cauons from 1000 to 1000
feet deep, The southern part OF the
basin is about as wild as any locality on
the continent II is a collection Of
canons, labyrinthian in their intricacy,
and from 900 to 1000 feet deep. The
wandcrer who makes his way into this
locality may well think he has found
terrestrial chaos
But the most wonderful thing about
the Uinta basin is the vertical cracks in
the rocks These cracks are not empty.
but are filled with strange substance,
OF which the geological survey has re.
Gently made a scientific examination
The cracks, in some cases. are only n
sixteenth of an inch in width. They
range from that to eighteen feet. In
length they vary from few hundred
feet to eight or ten miles, Their walls
are smooth and regular. There is not
the slightest displacement in the strata
on either side OF crack, and they have
the general direction OF northwest and
southeast, and are straight. As to their
origin the government geologists frank
ly express doubt They think they may
have come about when the gentle fold
ing occurred which created the basin.
The cracks are filled To the surface
with n black substance that looks like
tar and is called Uin,aitc by the gcolo-
gists. Gilsonite is the more common
title, given in honor OF Mr.. ellison. u
Utah man, who discovered its useful
ness. Gilsonitc is exceedingly brittle.

WIDESPREAD DEVASTATION
A Large Area Near Memphis Over
flowed and Hundreds of Homeless
and Starving People Are Being
Rescued by Steamers.

Memphis, Tenn, March 16.-Nearly
1000 homeless half starved persons, res
cued from the overflowed districps of
eastern Arkansas, are being cared for in
this city today. The refugees are mostly
negroes. The citizens relief committee
is practically backed by unlimited capital,
merchants, bankers and corporations
having subscribed large sums to prosecute
the work Of resouiRg inhabitauts Of the
territory forty miles north and south of
Memphis. The entire government fleet
stationed here, through Captain Fitch, the
engineer in charge, has been pressed into
service. Manned by crews familiar with
the river this fleet gives great assistance
to the other rescue steamers. The sisua-
tion today is critical, news is expected
hourly of breaks in the lsvees, and when
this happens loss of property and stock
will reach into the thousands. The first
loss of life has been reported. A family
of five negroes has been drowned at
Marion. The sensational stories of
wholesale drowning at Nodena, Ark, are
denied by steamer hands fresh from the
scene. The guage today reads 30.4 feet.
Railway trains arrive and depart without
reference to schedules. All tracks except
the Iron Mountain are submerged. The
Kansas City and Little Rock roads use
the Iron Mountains track. 1t is expected
by night that the rescue steamers will
land another thousand refugees at Chicka.
