A NEW PAVEMENT

A Denver mau has been expert
menting wi Gh smelter Stag as paving
ma erisl for streets. He declares that
In come ways it is superior to either
asphalt or cement, and Is far more
durable and satisfactory than gravel
or crushed rock.
He says the Stag should be finely
crushed, the street built On q solid
foundn ton of rock, perfectly graded,
aad the Stag used for surfscinR, two or
three inches thick. The street surface
should then be rolled with heavy
ste am rollers, and kept in condition by
levsling, sprinkling, and heavy rolling
at FIRE quent intervals.
The cost of the alag pavement, says
he, is only about sixty cents per square
yard. French towns have used 1t and
in one place such pavemsnts are still in
good condition although they have
been n use since 1892. The process is
certainly worth trying.
City streets can not have too much
sprin king and rolling. 1t may cost .

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has most
difficult matter on his hands to decide.
The miners at the Coal Creek COM
pany mines, near Knoxville, Tenn,
have returned to work, after reaching
an agreement with the company to
submit their grievances to the arbitra-
tion of the president. The men went
on q strike on April 10 because four
union miners were discharged. The
manager of the company and the
director of the strikers entered into
an agreement that President McKin-
ley would be asked to say whether the
four union men should or should not
have been discharged, and in any
event each eide is to submit to his de-
cision. With this understanding oil
the strikers, who had been out nearly
two months. returned to work and the
trouble is apparently at al end. They
await the presidents decision with the
confidence that it will be right.

over the cattle fields and speaking of
the Loving deal he said it was all
''off"-that the options have been al
lowed to expire without any effort

options on all the big ranches, and

made his buying price high enough.
He made 1t too high, it appears-he

THE RIGHTS OF INVESTED CAPITAL


spirit of Jealousy directed against
the man who Is apparently gu cces- full
in business? Are we not little prone
to "encoursge" capital to come here
and then forget that that capital has
rights? A just spirit would prompt
every man in Ell Paso to stand up for
the rights of local invested capital un
In order to Cypress or abuse the peo-
pie.
Few men believe in the perpetuation
OF monopolies. Free and fair compe-
tition is one of the foundation stones Of
personal liberty and Industrial growth.
And if we have reason to believe that
any local concern Is abusing its privi-
leges and using its monopoly to Cypress
the psople, it il right we should take
steps to encourage competition by any
legitimate method. But If the field ia
already we'll covered, and local inter-
ests are not directly affected, natural
competition should be allowed to adjust
matters and no fkvors should be
granted
When it is proposed to give bonus In
money or land to projected new indus
trial enterprise, this principle should
be taken into account. The rights OF
capital already invested should be
their business through years of hard
labor against adverse circumstances
ought to be made to fe ell that the peo-
pie are with them. If bonuses are
passed around, why should
these people be forgotten? Does is not
look little unfair to ignore the rights
of invested capital and seek to tniure
existing business?
or course there are two sides to the
question. The average citizen says,
She more shelters, the more foun-
dries, the more. factories we have, the
more men will be employed, the more
wages will be turned loose here every
Paso will be. That proposition Is
true up to q certain point. II the field
is not adequately covered and there ia
business for all and to spare, it may be
allowable sto encourage competition.
But II the field is already we'll covered,
and new markets are distant and hard
to reach, then the increase of compel .
tion would result in q general cutting
of expenses, lowering of wages, aud
destruction of profits that would b -
disastrous.
Let US keep in mind that the man
with capital invested has as much
rig ht to ealizs fair percentage on
bis investment as the laborer has to
enjoy freely the product of his daily
toll. 1t is well to rememb Der this al
ways while we are trying to build up
the city.

All mail matter going out from gov
ernment department bears on the face
of the envelope an inscription stating
that the penalty for private use is $500.
Some time ago the department of agri-
culture received request from farm
er in the west for quantity of Ger
tain kind of seed, which he desired to
use on his farm for experimental pur-
poses. The seed was sent as requested,
and in few days it came back from
the farmer, wi / a long letter. He said
that he was innocent of any intent of
wrong-doing, and when he made appli-
cation for the Eeed he was unaware
that it could not be put to private use.
He added that, as he had promptly re-
turned the seed, he hoped that he would
not be made to pay the fine. The poor
man thought the notice applied to the
seed and not the envelope.

HOW TO BUILD ROADS.
They Sho1d Be Rounded Up In the
Center SO as to Shed Water to
tho Side Drains.

The first principle applicable to all
roads is good drainage. Take the wa
ter out and keep the water out" is q
rule which must be followed in the max
ing of every road. 1t is not enough to
dig trenches at the side of the road and
call them drains. These trenches must
be real drains; that is, they must have
q good fall to q clear outlet, and be in
every respect capable of carrying the
water away. The road must be round
ed up in the center SO as to shed the wa
ter quickly to the side drains. There
must be q track in the center of the
road along which travel can pass. This
track must be hard and smooth SO as to
afford the least friction to travel, pre-.
vent ruts and at the same time permit
water to run of the sides quickly. Ruts
and holes must not be permitted to
form, but be filled up as soon as they
appear. The drainage must not be
abandoned with the taking care of the
surface water, but in many instances
must extend below the surface in the
form of tile underdrains, so as to form
a firm foundation and lessen the de-
structive action of the frost-injurious
only to wet and water soaked roads. In
addition to the simple work on roads,
better methods with regard to culvert
and bridge construction are greatly
needed. The principles above enum-
Grated with respect to roads require an
infinity of special methods and treat
ments in arriving at the best results ac-
cording as the land is high lying or lowI
is clay, sand, vegetable-mold, etc.; Is
difficult of drainage; according to the
extent of travel, the quality of road
metal obtainable-these and many
other varying conditions. That road
making and highway work of all kinds
is considered a matter in which every
man is proficient is probably one of the
evils underlying the bad conditions Of
our roads to-day-Rural World,
