horse will do former work of two on
the roads and do 1t much easier.
There the farmer bitches one
horse to a two seated spring wagon
and loads IN the family of four or
six, as the case may be, with crate
or two of eggs and can of butter and
drives off to the county seat town,
ten miles away after an early sup
per, to do the weeks trading where
formerly it took two horses and
an all days trip of the most tire
some kind.
We are the most abundantly fa-
vored in this locality with fine road
building material of almost any
other locality. We have abundance
of rock easy of access and magnifi
cent beds of gravel. We have the
gumbo in abundance and cheap
fuel to burn it. But best of all we
have road finishing material that
is now attracting much attention
that is unavailable to most local
tiles. refer to the crude oil.
Crude oil has been tried as top
dressing for dirt roads with varying
degrees of success. The French
road experts tried it and decided it
failure. There were probably two
reasons for their failure. They
very likely did not properly prepare
the bed or apply the oil in a proper
J manner, but the greatest reason OF
their failure was the fact that they
used oil with perefine base. When
! the volatile parts of the oil were
e dissipated the perefine, dried and
/ crumbled and their roads were in
D worse condition than before the
t application was made. 1t remained
h for the Californians to demonstrate
t to the world that good roads, water
proof, could be made by free use
of their asphalt base crude oil.
e The roads are dustless iu summer
r and mudleSs in winter. The volatile
I parts of the oil evaporate and you
n have practically an asphalt roac
conceded to be the best in the
Il world. With any of these materials
it is necessary to grade and thor
r oughly drain the road bed. Then
, for the oil road, the base is harrow
] ed and rolled till it is thoroughly
pulverized. Then the oil is sprinkl-
on IS to 50 barrels to the mile,
S narrowed into the surface and rolled
e with a heavy roller. The results
&: are a perfectly smooth and sprlngy
surface absolutely impervious to
water, without ruts or holes. The
5 application of about half the quanty
e of oil each year, keeps the road in
3 fine repair and is all the work it
e needs.
n The oil men of this locality have
, about as much use for roads about
f here as any body and we would
S suggest that they volunteer to fur
r nish the oil for a mile of road, say
that horrid little stretch frcm Will
: age Creek 20 the Barker corner.
e Have the trustee place the road bed
p in proper condition and apply the
oil and we will have a practical
demonstration of the great road
S preserving qualities of our crude
: oil. Will you do it2

All this fuss about Funston and
the g-bag seems to be unneces-
sary and uncalled for. 1t don't
seem TO matter very materially
whether Funston swan the river or
crossed on a bamboo raft, The
latter would probably be the more
dangerous. Suffice it that he got
across and routed the enemy, not
only on the Bag-bag, but everywhere
else where he could find him and
even followed Aggie to his secret
hiding place and captured him,
feat all the other generals and
colenels had been trying but always
failed. Funston's name and fame
will still live whether the Kansa:
history says he swan the Bag-bag
or crossed on a bamboo pole.

GLOOM AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Feared That Port Arthur May Fall a,
Any Time.

Any Time.
ST PETERSBURG, November 2-The Of
fetal reports from Tokyo describing the des-
Ierate assaults on Port Arthur beginning
October 26 have created visible depression
at the war Office. The sustained character
Of the bombardment with siege guns and
the preaching OF the walls by underground
riines, but abov, all the fact that the Japa-
nese government after weeks Of silence re-
gardiI.s the opera lions, of the besiegers has
given out these reports before actual sue
cess has crowned their efforts, convinces the
military authorities that after long prepara-
ton Gen. Nogf is not only making a su-
IRENE effort to carry the fortress. but feels
SO confident of success that the result of the
preliminary operations has been made pub
Hc I.4nfo
They believe the assault was timed for
the announcement of the fall of the fortress
to be made upon the birthday of the Mikado
tomorrow which by a strange coincidence
Is the tenth anniversary of the accession of
Emepror Nicholas and & great Russian holi-
day. Tomorrow, therefore, is expected to be
marked by fate for a day OF immense re-
5olclng either for Japan or Russia accord
ing as the present assault succeeds or fails
The war Office is trying; to buoy I'D the
Russian hopes with references to the long
and successful defense Iieut Gen Stoessel
has thus far conducted, but things have now
reached such a pass with the garrison and
the character Of the, present attempt upon
the fortress Is evidently determined that
the authorities frankly admit they would
rot be surprised if the end was at hand
In the face Of the gloomy reports direct
from Tokyo the Invalid Russ, 1.-The army or
gan, today announces that the storming
operations ended with a repulse Of the
Japanese ON Monday but the paper fails to
give it's authority for this important state
ment. No Official report warranting it has
been received by the war office.

JIM CROW LAW.
District Resident Believes he Can Have
It Declared imperative.

Lincoln Temple, at the corner Of 18th and
r streets northwest was the scene of a
large gathering last night. the occasion be-
ing an address by Prof. W. H. H. Hart on
the operation of the Jim Crow law in
Virginia and Maryland. Mr.. Hart an
nounced that he had found a method in the
interstate commerce act which, in his opin-
ion. will break down the barrier raised
against colored people by the several states
that have made certain legislation by which
the races are separated in railway coaches.
Mr.. Hart said there appears to be no
reason for depending upon the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution.
Continuing. he said the Jim Crow" law
SIS but symptom of deeper malady per-
vading the entire body polite. prejudicing
the rights of American citizens" He said
that no device had been left unused to
hurt the colored man.
In concluding his address Mr.. Hart said:
Here at the national capital 1t Is impos-
sible for a person Of color to take a train
north, south. east or west without going
into a compartment set aside for others of
his kind. That hurts. hurts to the heart,
yet IL is the fact. This scheme Is generally
approved of. l believe, by the white people
of the District. When l was arrested for
refusing to go into the Jim Crow section
of a train in Maryland the newspapers Of
up my case. but not a word was said by
the press south of Philadelphia. You find
that you are shut IN here at the capital Of
the nation. When your leading citizen. Col
Perry Carson, stepped into the Jim Crow
compartment of a car going to Ivy City
nobody felt hurt yet all had been hurt.
There was wound in the breast.
The time has come for somebody to let
you out, and / tell you here that you have
found your man; he has opened the way.
There won't be any necessity for an Amer

Naval Steamer Phlox to Be Wrecked.

The old United States naval steamer
Phlox, which has been lying at the ferry
wharf at Alexandria for the past year, is
to be wrecked and will soon be a thing of
the past. The Phlox was formerly a side
wheel steamer and was attached to the
United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
She made regular trips for many years
between the academy and Baltimore, but,
becoming unfit for service. was laid up and
used as living quarters for the marine
guard. About year ago she was sold at
auction, and Julius Drifuse of Alexandria
became her owner. She was brought to
Alexandria, where her engine, boiler,
pumps. winches and other machinery were
removed and the hulk left.
When the upper works are removed, 1t
is stated. the old hull will be lowed to a
point on the river shore above Alexandria,
