Experiments For Dustless Roads.

English road builders are working
on the dustless road problem. An ex-
pertinent is being conducted in West
Sussex County, the results of which
will be watched by all who are inter.
ested in the improvement of our high
ways. The object of those in charge
OF the experiment is to make a road.

Progress of CHICAGO Strike.

Chicago, Speeial.-The stockyards
strike Thursday night seems 20 nearer
settlement than it did the day the
struggle began. Efforts of a committee
composed Of retail butchers and gro
GERS to bring about a conference be-
tween the packers and the strike lead
ers were OF no avail. The retailers
committee was IN conference with Ed
ward Tlldep, John E. Maurer, Thomas
Wilson and Thomas J. Connors, repre-
senting the packers, for three hours
this afternoon, and after the meeting
the following statement was given out
by the committee of business men:
I'VE were cOurteously received by
the packers and we were informed
considering all that had passed and
present conditions, no good reason ex-
1sted why any further conference
with the strikers would be beneficial"
No statement was issued by the
packers regarding the conference, and
they all refused to discuss the matter
further than to confirm the statement
given out by the intermediary COM
mlttee. When the strike leaders were
informed OF the determination of the
hackers to refuse to enter into further
conferences with the unionists, they
began to form plans to force the hand
OF the legal department of the United
States in an endeavor to bring about a
settlement. This movement was de-
cided upon by the legal advisers Of the
strikers after they had received what
they considered reliable information
that the Attorney General would not
make move to bring into operation
the perpetual injunction now held by
the government against combinations
among the packing firms unless order
ed to do so by President Roosevelt.
The plan is this: An action will be
started in the Federal Court in the
name of striker who holds stock in
one of the biggest of the packing con-
Germs, demanding that the Injunction
be put into operation on the ground
that the illegal combination still ex.
sts and that through it shareh olders
are suffering loss. This, it is ex-
pected by the strike leaders, will in
luce President Roosevelt to take I'D
he fight and force the packers to pro-
luce their books, contracts and argu-
rents in open court. Such a step, it is
believed by the strikers, will bring the
hackers to terms and end the struggle.

Chinaman's Nerveless Teeth

Inc lmpassivity of John Chinaman's
countenance is now at least partially
explained, says the New York Globe.
He has no nerves in his teeth. This
interesting bit of information comes
way from Oregon, where the dentists
nave been having a State meeting.
one OF the dentists, who makes no
claims to painless dentistry" said
he had tinkered with the teeth of
many Cinnamon, and never once had
known one of them to whimper. The
only thing in regard toe which they
show the least anxiety is to secure
any teeth they have pulled, which they
want to take back or send back to
China in order that they may have
full set when they are reincarnated."

Sultan Must Keep Faith.

Washington, Special.-The State De-
partment has heard nothing from Min
lister Leishman, at Constantinople
since last Monday, when he cabled that
the Porte had promised to see that he
received the Sultan's answer to his
representations touching the rights of
American citizens In Turkey. If today s
engagement is not kept, the Depart
ment probably will send additional in
structions to Minister Leishman as
soon as he officially reports the addi-
tlonal breach Of faith. In that event
ne is expected to go to Smyrna to COM
municate personally with Admiral Jew
ell, commanding the European SQUAD
ron, and perhaps to take up his quar-
tiers aboard the flagship Olympia, thus
marking diplomatic crisis.

der OF that State-and he IL also an
officer Of the National Grangc--.s a
very enthusiastic advocate OF road i'm.
| progement. In a recent address lie
said:
The development and prosperity
OF any State or nation depend in
some degree upon the Transports ion
facilities provided: and such facilities
include not only our rivers and har-
bors and our great railway and steam
boat companies. but also the highw :
over which all our products and all
our people are transported.
The important matter now before
the friends of good roads Is to arouse
the people to realization or their re
sponsibility in securing favorable SAFE
and National legislation on the sub
ject. The small pittance appropriated
for the use of the Good Roads Bureau
OF the Department OF Agriculture is
entirely out Of proportion TO the money
appropriated for other objects of a
public nature when their relative i'm
portance is considered.
Another important matter is the
construction of roads adapted to the
needs Of travel over them. Much
harm has come to the good roads move
ment in some sections of the country
through the advocacy OF more cxpen-
siye roads than the resources of the
people would warrant and demand.
Costly stone roads are economical up
on portions Of our highways, but we
must not overlook the fact that there
is vast mileage of roads that could
be permanently improved by the judi.
cious expenditure of comparatively
small sum of money per mile. We
should give due prominence to this
fact in considering the matter from q
State or National standpoint.
las an official of the National
Grange, desire to say a word for the
farmers of the country in regard to
National aid for road building. The
farmers have been loyal to the inter-
ests of the nation in every emergency
In the past. They have contributed
their full share in proportion to their
wealth to the revenues for the support
of the Government. The ablest states
men and most successful business |
men, contributing to the development !
and prosperity of the country, point |
to the farms as their birthplace.
When our country has been in danger,
the farmer boys have responded nobly
to her defense. We have uncomplain-
lngly contributed our share to the
enormous expenditures of the National
Government for river and harbor i'm
provements, the construction of cam
ais and the erection Of costly build
ngs in our great cities, and we do not
regret it. We now ask in the name
Of justice that National aid be granted
-or the improvement of highways.
Ibis involves the establishment of no
lew policy. but the extension of the
,ormer one. We ask the loyal support
II those who have been benefited by
'ur contribution to other public mat
ers to which l have referred. l be-
leve the farmers of the nation, repre-
entlng more than a third of our pop-
llation, are practically unanimous in

NO TROUBLE IN PANAMA.
Walker Says Canal Employees Hare
No Cause for Dissatisfaction.

Washington. Dec. 30.-Replying to newspaper
statements to the effect that the Panama Canal
employees are dissatisfied with conditions on the
isthmus, Admiral Walker said to-day that he
knew nothing OF any such complaints except
what he had read in the papers Nor" he said,
"can L believe that there is foundation for the
reports There are three hundred or four hun
dred Americans employed there. They receive
about % per cent more pay than men employed
in like positions in the United States and in
addition are either supplied quarters are al
lowed S per cent of their salaries with which to
pay rent. The extra allowance is intended as
compensation for privations which we tell all
before they go they may expect to encounter
So far we have not been able to supply quarters
for all, owing TO the fact that we have not sue
ceeded IN securing sites for buildings. but we are
exertins ourselves in that direction and will do
the best we can. II the men there are dis
satisfied they are not compelled TO remain; no
body will hold Them they come away when
they are ready. and there will be others to take
their places. may be judged from the fact
that we have hand seven thousand or eight
thousand applications for their places"
How about the reports that the officials are
living in luxury while the clerks subjected
to all sorts of Inconvenience" Admiral Walker
was asked.
"Chef Engineer Wallace lives in the residence
at Panama formerly occupied by the French di-
rector, and Governor Davis in a one story house
In which French section superintendent lived
the admiral replied. Both had TO be renovated,
and both are modest places, especially Daviss.
In addition to himself. three other men live in
the house. The roof garden in Wallace's house
is a 10 by 20 foot frame platform. and nothing
more"
Acting on the suggestion OF Secretary Taft.
Secretary Hay has instructed Minister Barrett,
at Panama, to unite with the representatives OF
the Canal Commission in entertaining the dele
gates to the Pan-AmeriCan Medical Congress.
which will meet IN Panama on January 3, and
also in presenting to the congress the facts to
the healthfulness of the Isthmus of Panama.
Mistaken impressions this point have proved
TO be obstacle to the work the canal and
Secretary Taft is anxious that the congress
should know the truth.
