World Hre Talking Hbout
Facts and Figures Of Political. Commercial and
Industrial Conditions in Foreign hands.

Interest I'm Rhodesia.


ENGLAND is developing new in.
4 terest in Rhodesia. Whether
- this may be attributed to the
condition of Cecil Rhodes, the found
er of the colony that bears his name,
or is an outcome of the general at
tention that has been paid English
territory in South Africa because of
the Boer war, is hardly known.
In the English house of commons
within recent date several members
have made inquiries of the govern
ment regarding conditions in Rho
desia, and have invariably spoken of
it in favorable light. English capt.
talists also are paying more attention
to the country than they have paid
for several years, if ever before, and
money for local improvements and
development is flowing into Bulawayo
and Salisbury in quite a stream.
Much of this is being used in devel-
oping the rich mining prospects in
which the country abounds.
Out of Rhodesia the British South
Africa company is building a colony
that promises to become in the no
distant future quits as much of
bulwark for the British empire as
has the great territory on the North
American continent developed by the
Hudson Bay company proven to be.
AS in the days of the old reign in
Canada, the British South African
company is now the government of
Rhodesia. In the company's employ
are the lawmakers and the magis-
improvements, but that is not for
long. To-day the vast territory en-
joys bat the protection from England
that goes with the phrase within
the English sphere of influence" but
within very few years it will be
a fully accredited crown colony of
England's.
In extent this vast territory con-
tains more than 100000 square miles;
its resources cannot even be limited
at; in white population there are as
yet so few as to be comparatively
none at all when the black popula-
ton is considered. Southern Rho
desia boasts of white population of
$685., and native black population
of 14s,000, while Northern Rhodesia
contains less than $50 whites and
more than 100000 blacks. But the
white population continues to grow,
and is growing more rapidly at the
present time than for some two or
three years previously. Each new
conner expresses surprise at the con-
ditions which he finds, at country
peopled almost exclusively by unciv-
ilized blacks, and which contains all

A FIERCE GAME.
Dry Goods and Hardware Statesmen
Play Bail

The dry goods and the hardware
clerks had q fierce game of ball on
the Penn campus Friday evening
which resulted in score of 81 to 5
in favor of the dry goods nine. The
hardwares played hard bat when Ed
Walton got after them with his curves
they couldn't find the bali at all.
There was good crowd in attend
ance and party spirit ran high. The
game was an exciting one and some
of the base running and pitching
would have done credit to a profess
sional team. The next game will be
next Tuesday at $500 p. m. between
the hardwares and the clothiers.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-12-01

Poor roads in the United States are
costing the people annually the enor-
nous sum of $65O,00O,O00, which is
tax of more than seven dollars year
for every man, woman and child. This
amazing fact is pointed out by Martin
Dodge, director of the bureau of public
road inquiries, of the Department OF
vocates the construction of brick track
roads with convict labor.
AS a result of the good road move
ment which has been largely stimu-
lated by the efforts of tie Department
of Agriculture, the road question is at
present receiving remarkable degree
of active interest, as indicated, for
instance, by a movement in the State
of New York for bonding the State
for $8O,OOO,OOO to build country roads.
This is wholly in line with bill be-
fore the last national Congress by Mr..
Otey of Virginia, for $100,000,0O0 for
the same purposes.
Mr.. Otey declares Tn view of our
willingly having spent $4O0,0 100000 on
the Philippines it is time to do some
thing tangible for our own people.
.."This is especially true," comments
Mr. Dodge, sin view of the fact that
we are continually paying an avoida-
BILE mud tax of more than $3.50, 900
each year for the privilege of driving
over our dusty and muddy roads. This
enormous expense is better compre-
hended by saying it equals a tax of
more than 81 each a year for every
man, woman and child in lis country"
A careful study of the road problem
in detail reveals some important and

significant features. While good road
stone is found in a very few places in
this country, good clays are found in
nearly every locality.
eff these abundant clays," Mr.. Dodge
argues, "can be used economically to
build good roads they will greatly as
sist in meeting the important problem
of how to construct our country roads.
Again, as all loads are hauled over
very narrow portions of roads through
wheel contract, railroad cars for ex-
ample it follows that if such narrow
parts of our roads are cheaply con-
structed to properly resist the weight
and grind of the wagon wheels new
and important results will be attained.
Experiments Successful.
"Close study of these conditions re-
suited in the construction of section
of brick wheel track road in the De-
partment of Agriculture grounds in
the early part of 1900, followed by the
introduction of this system in various
places, for the improvement Of coun-
try roads and city streets, also with
most encouraging results.
1.-THE important features of brick
roads are that they can be built for a
fraction of the cost of stone road or
street, while four to five times the
load can be hauled on them, with the
same team force and they can proba-
bly, be maintained for one-tenth of the
repair expense. At the same time
they obviate the formation of the ruts,
dust and mud due to the grinding of
the wagon wheels on stone streets, and
the mud holes and dust of our earth
roads.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-12-01

while the friction is extremely low,
being only about one-one hundred and
thirtieth of the weight of the load and
less than one-half that of the best
block pavement. 1t is declared that
on such trackways in London a horse
weighing about seven hundred pounds
could draw, on a level, fifteen tons,
and horse weighing about sixteen
hundred pounds could draw thirty and
a half tons.
"While the very low tractive force
required of the stone track road, COM
bined with the low maintenance cost
makes this the most desirable OF
roads in some sections, the high cost
of construction has prevented its gen.
eral adoption even in the favored To-
calities where suitable stone is found.
I'm the brick track road is found a
means for obtaining all of the advant-
ages of the old stone track road at an
extremely low cost. This advantage is
made possible for nearly every part
of this country, on account of our
abundant clays, which are found of
suitable quality in neary every section.
Work For Convcts And Migrants.
"a strong feature in favor of the
brick track road is the plan of using
our convicts and Migrants in making
the brick and other materials, and also
in constructing the roads, by which
means this country could in few
years time have the finest roads in
the world, at less cost than the burden
and disadvantage which we are now
enduring because of our present lack
of good roads.
"The present vicious and expensive
methods in our most pOpulOus States
of supporting the criminal classes in
idleness would also be obviated, to the
moral and physical betterment of the
criminals themselves, and probably
with marked reduction of criminality

'The brick track road system not
only seems adapted to fully meet the
needs of the Western and Southern
States where no good road stone is
found, but from present indications
it will likely supplant the building of
stone roads, even where good stone
is abundant.
"If convict labor is properly en-
ployed we can probably build ideal
roads throughout the whole country
in few years of time for the present
needless expense we are now bearing
on account of our depIorable country
roads.
can ideal road is the stone wheel
track between Albany and Science
tady, N. Y. In constant use for nearly
sixty years, with very little or no ex-
pense for repairs, it so far shows very
little wear.
at is probably the Oldest and most
successful road in this country, and
now looks as if might last another CEN
tury or two without material repair
expense.
Near the city of Buffalo, on upward
of a mile of brick track road, con-
structed adjacent to stone roads built
by the State, nearly four times the
load can be hauled with the same team
force and with comparatively little
damage to the contents of the loads,
which are largely composed of market
produce and fruit.
Modification Of TramWay.
1.-The brick wheel road is modifi-
cation of the old stone tramway roads,
which, according to Byrne, were first
employed by the Egyptians for moving
great weights.
Some trackways have been expen-
sive to construct in this country, cost
ing about $4,000 per mile in the neigh
borhood of New York city, but cost
little for repairs and maintenance,

There is just complaint from the
coal consumers of the eastern cities
that the wholesale dealers In coal,
making as an excuse the calling OF
a strike In the anthracite region,
have advanced the price of coal
one dollar per ton, with probable
ity that further advance will be
made very shortly. There Is no
excuse for this. The supply In the
east is not short. The dealers have
been preparing for this impending
strike for many weeks, and have
filed tneir yards and docks with
coal enough to last for months. at
favorable figures. This done, they
awaited the advent of the strike
with the anxiety that a spider man
ifests for a fly after spinning an
enticing web, and no sooner was
the strike announcement made
than up went the price to the con-
sume1, whether manufacturer or
poor tenant of the slum district.
That sort of things cannot be
characterized by any other term
than robbery. And 1t has the fea-
ture that there was unity of action
among these wholesale dealers.
There was an understanding In re-
straint of trade and for the purpose
of robbing the people, and 1t there
fore presents case where the Fed
eral authorities ought to get after
them as they did the beef combine,
and that at once.

because we lack systematic methods

are an index to the progressive

itself will indicate a neighborhood
