Biologists state that Washington, Or
egon and much of Idaho are largely
overspread with lava. This great des-
ert of molten rock, 100000 square
miles in extent, and 1000 feet deep,
has undergone great changes since its
volcanic days. Rivers have diligently
plowed out canyons famous for beauty
and grandeur. Between the rivers are
rolling plateaus of rich, deep soil-the
vast wheat and grass lands of the
Northwest.

Formerly, when paper for news
had some value in the eyes of the old
rag man, but in these days when all
such paper is made from wood pulp
paper with printing on is worth moth
ing. An English paper maker has
lately demonstrated a system however
whereby he repulps old newspapers
and makes clean new paper from them,
of quality equal to the original. The
main difficulty in such process is to
get rid of the carbon of the printing
ink, which does not yield to bleaching.
1t was recently suggested to the In
stitution of Civil Engineers in London
that solid metals might reveal by their
structure the vibrations to which they
have been subjected. Professor Rob-
erts-Austen made a series of expert
ments, showing that a wave-structure
may be impaired to the surface OF
mercury by the vibrations of a tuning
fork. He also showed that surface
of solid lead possesses a structure re-
sembling that of vibrating surface Of
mercury. This was done by subjecting
the lead to vibrations similar to those
used with mercury.
The flow Of Texas rivers has been
studied by the photographic parties
of the United States Geological Sur
yey. Daily records of water heights and
frequent measurements by current
meter of the velocity and volume OF
water carried by each stream are made.
The economic value of such hydro
graphic surveys is well illustrated by
two examples. The flow of the Brazos
river at Waco was the lowest on rec
ord during the past season and the
Waco dam, with head of 30 feet, de-
veloped only 100 horsepower. The
minimum flow of the Colorado was
found to be only one-fifth of what was
popularly estimated at the time the
bonds We're issued for the dam at
Austin the comparatively small cost
of such surveys repays taxpayers and
investors a hundred fold.

GOOD ROAD
APARTMENT:

| commissioners office TO do more than
exercise mere supervision of subordinatcs
who may act in the capacity of super
viSorS-for il is impossible for each Com
! missioner To 20 over the three districts
Iappoltioncd to each even monthly and do
effective work.
We admit. that there will be dissatis-
faction i'll such an appointment for there
are too many who would like such job.
Perhaps the better way would be to
elect such person for the place. The fact
is there should be Il Commissioner for
each election district. to he elected by
! the district thus represented to form the
board of County Commissioners. and that
would care for each district in its inter
cSts and would be more nearly non-parti-
IAN in the policy Of the board for the gen
cral welfare of the county.
The third asks for regular corps of
skilled workers in each district This
resolution seems 10 have the weakest sup
port OF the yeas, but no decided opposi-
ton was expressed in the meeting.
But Il number seemed to fear that if
such was the case. they would lose Il lob
of road mcnding. which is now given
sometimes as Il political remuneration
for past or future service
When we consider that men skilled in
special employment are useful to Il great
rr extent than those unSkillcd. we can
see the force such employment of skilled
Workmcn will have would greatly add to
the work in question here something for
something rules to our decided advan-
tagC.
Where would the efficiency of skilled
labor be more effective than on the pub
lie roads. The more effective work that
men do is that much more would be OBJ
tanned from the same sum of money
hence the same road fund would be
equivalent to that much more money nut
into the roads with less taxation.
The fourth resolution calls for Il sec
ton of gravel road and likewise the same
amount of macadam (Stonc) road to be
under the supervision of the Highway
Division of the Maryland Geological Sur
vcy. to serve rs Il model for other roads.
There seemed to be no opposition to
this last proposition. although after the
meeting was over several seemed to
think il all right if there was sufficient
funds without causing Il higher rate of
taxation. Several ask me where all this
money was to come from. thinking that
all the improvements were to he nut into
operation at once.

of improved road fifty years ago, there

But how amusing it is to stand at the
old point, owned by Senator Henry NJ.
Mccullough, and watch the great clouds
of water fowls as they loom up in the
distance and soar majeStically either up
or down the Scrpcntine like course that
the old streamlct had chosen on its first
mcanderingS when she was in search of
the mighty ocean, even as far back MS
when Jehovah had viewed the magniti-
cent old peninsula and pronounced her
very good. Great tribes of wild geese
sometimes with as many as five hundred

down the stream, they didn't appear to be
very far aloft. and by George look ont

tumblcd down in the wet sand. behind

behind an old log. The Boss was watch
ing with batcd breath the leader an old
picdy gander was looking askcw ut Boss
Mac, and the while getting off some
kind of latin, which Mac nor | either
understood. Up goes Macs sure death,
and the left hand barrel refused to re-
spond but the right bcched forth bcaut-
fully, and the impudcnt gander yelled
ouch, ouch. and turned about half over.
and Mae had loosrncd one of his plum"s
which tluttcrcd gently to the water lie
low. Il was only the traditional old slip
between cup and lip. So near, and yet
SO far.
Never mind Boss Mac. we will get the
birdie next time. But how singular while
watching these ilockS of many different
tribes of both geese and ducks, to see the
different letters of the alphabet which
they form while soaring over and never
dcviatimg one inch from the pritty form,
until they shift like II well drilled bat

The Boss suddenly exclaimed. look yon-

But how mysterious these water fowls
do seem to the writer. They are very

get to chill they will come sweeping to
the bamy South by millions and billions.

On the Resolutions of the load COnven-
ton.

For The "Whig" -
The first resolution Of the road
convention of the 11th of March, calls
| for the appointment of Il competent en-.
| ginecr to take charge of the public roads
of the county. The vote endorsing that
action was quite decided. which is i
proper movement in the right direction
for procuring good roads for the future.
The cost of an energetic and capable
! engineer is the only objection to such an
| appointment, but any one who expects to
get something for nothing cannot do more
than hope for good roads without cost.
On the outside, after the meeting WAS
over, there was Il decided expression

We're really in earnest. why did they not
speak out in meeting" But many who
thus express themselves in that manner
now, will be pleased with the improve

that future comes. That very thing of
making a responsible head was what gave
me the idea of having good roads in the
future. We of course will have to endure
| the bad roads Of the present, and tenn
porary repairing and mcnding will have
to take place of permanent Improvements

The terrible condition of roads,

local highways.
We. as farmers. labor under more than
ordinary difficulties, in shipping our pro-

ing in hidden quick sands, that threaten

consequently, any experiment that
promises relief in the near future, will be
cordially welcomed.
There surely must be Il remedy, for so
very palpable an evil. and one which
might be effected ut comparatively small

in length, which will serve as Il sample
of what may be done.

the county over twenty five dollars in all
