Topeka Soldier Writes of National
Holiday in the Philippines

Eugene Thomas, a Topeka boy who
enlisted in April, 'ee. and was immedi-
ately sent to the Philippines as recruit
to company I. Eighteenth infantry.
writes OF his Fourth OF July IN Panay:
I'VE raised our flag at $50 in the morn

town by the native band. and just as it
was planted and we were firing three
voIIeys over it, I was hastily called, and
detailed to GO to Capiz. on the river, to
take a man that had been sunstruck.

were on the boat IS hours The boat was
made out Of a log. and we had a very
hard time to get down there We had
some natives rowing the boat, and they
worked awful hard for the whole IS
hours
I'VE got the sick man down there. but
he won't live very long So our Fourth
was one never to be forgotten When
we returned we found our company I'M

To the Editor Of the State Journal:

polled the two races for law and order
in our city and found the ratio stood
about 800 to one did not see cOl0red

can offer for their absence? The only
conclusion can come to is that the
black man has not, as a rule, the same
interest that the white man has to

is ready to howl like wolf at all times,

WATTS ON ELECTION.
Iron Trade Situation as Seen by the
RevieW.

Review
Cleveland, O., Sept 3.-The Iron Trade
Review says.
The fact that consumption is still con-
siderably less than production is the key
to the situation in iron and steel The
resumption Of the tin plate mills will
help to reduce the accumulation Of bes-
sener iron, and If pudding furnaces
should be started this month. the sftua-
ton as to forge iron will be improved
The blowing out of furnaces has not
gone to its full length yet, 1t IS believed
and the statistics for October I, are ex-
pected to show a further reduction in
active work The failure OF the Detroit
conference to agree on the pudding and
finishing scales for western rolling mills
means a longer shutdown of the mills
than had been counted on, but the fact
that the Amalgamated associa-
ton has arranged for resump-
tions at Bayview and Detroit
on special terms subject to later rnodi-
hcatiOn, indicates an anxiety to get to
work that may start operations at the
mills of the larger producers at an early
day.
The indications are that merchant fur
naces now idle in the Mahonfng and
Shenango valleys will remain out as long
as present prices continue and a num-
Der of them may wait until after the
election before resumfng. There is no
disposition to take chances, and the feel
ing is abroad that no marked change in
the iron trade will be seen until the
complexion of the next administration is
decided upon

MAKING OF ROADS.
Government Expert Harrison Gives
Commercial Club Pointers

General E J. Harrison, government
road expert addressed the Commercial
club last evening on the subject Of good
roads. His talk was both interesting
and instructive He said: "A great
many people have an idea that the good
roads movement started with the .oa-
cycle boys OF course the wheelmen
have had a great deal to do with the
movement for better roads but the good
roads movement is older than any wheel
mems organization.
THE Chamber Of Commerce OF the
city of New York took up the matter OF
agitating the good roads movement and
did its best TO show that goods roads
were to the interest OF the country
The fact that in foreign countries one
horse does the same work that three
horses do in this country caused
great deal OF thought sum of money
was set aside to investigate this under
the supervision OF the government
The primary haul of farm products
or Of manufactured goods has been eSr1-
mated to average about II miles It
has been found that the cost OF this
primary haul in the western states Is
much less than in the eastern states
What is the cause? It is the condition
of the roads
ss,To permanently reduce the cost Of the
primary haul is estimated to be Is cents
per ton per mile and in the east this Is
estimated to be IS cents
-
No The manufacturers with all their
profits can not afford to pay that sum
and neither can the farmers.
ITO permanent reduce the cost OF the
primary haul good roads will have to be
built It will be an expense to build
them but thousands of dollars are spent
every year for road work that does no
permanent good If this could be spent
in making stone road it would be
economy
Il am here to give instruction in road
building and to make sample road
The government does not furnish money
material or labor, but it collects fnforrna-
ton and furnishes that, together with
instruction in the art of road building
Mr.. Harrison was followed by Mr.
Robert Stone who gave brief review
of the work accomplished on the Wash
burn-Seabrook road and ended by say
ing that a Thousand dollars was needed
to complete the road and made an
urgent appeal for the business men OF
the city to come to the front and volun-
teer the money needed

ROUGH TIME OF 1T.

Some weeks ago Mrs. Mary ALLAH,
well known In Honolulu as collc.tor
of rare Hawaiian curios, mats and the
like, left for the Island of Niihau TO
make arrangements for more purchases.
She completed her work on Tuesday
and left for Waimea, Kauai, in a sur:
boat, on the evening Of that day. The
regular crew of natives was aboard
and the intention was to sail to Wal
mea.
Shortly after starting out, bad weath-
er set in and the people In the boat
were in great danger Of being capsiz-
ed. The natives abandoned the sails
and took to their oars. All Tuesday
night and all day Monday, the crew
battled with the waves, arriving at
Waimea on the afternoon of the next
day, tired out and almost ready to give
up.
Mrs. Ailua lost great many of her
rare curios besides getting an expert
ence that she will not soon forget.
