GOV, DENEEN TO BANKERS
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
PUBLIC UTILITIES OPPOSED.
Urges Framing Of Laws to Make Die.
astreus Failures of Financial
Institutions Impossible.

Springfield. ILL.,, Sept. 26.-Gov. De-
neen made strong speech in opposi-
ton to government ownership OF pub
lie utilities in addressing the Bank.
ers' Association of Illinois. at their
annual convention Tuesday.
The governor said the action Of
large employers of labor to secure the
enactment of laws for the protection
of those who labor against unneces.
sary risks of life and limb and health.
and of railroads to relieve the situa.
ton even when there was unjust dis.
elimination, has resulted In immeas-
urable injustice to many industries,
He said he firmly believed that IL
employers fall to make wise sugges-
tons in reference to legislation appli-
cable to their business and necessary
to the common good. they will shorts
ly find their business regulated by
laws placed upon the statute books by
men not familiar with their require
ments. The question Of regulation or
no regulation is rapidly passing into
the dangerously radical issue OF gov.
eminent regulation or government
ownership.
While he deemed 1t hardly credit.
able that there is any immediate dan.
ger of the triumph of the doctrine OF
government ownership, yet the ten
dency is rapidly growing. Its proper
antidote, he declared, was to be found
in the greater participation of tha
conservative elements of society in
economic discussion, and In the polit-,
ical life and action of the, community,
He urged the bankers of Illinois to-
aid in the framing of such laws for
the supervision of banking institu-.
lions to avert such disastrous failures
as had been lately witnessed, and
make them wellAigh impossible.
Mayor Deyereux delivered the ADJ
dress OF welcome, and the response
was made by J. S. Althorpa, of Cairo,
strong plea against governments
ownership of public utilities. which,
he declared, would tend to, socialize
the country, kill individnalism and put
q STOP to the progress of the country.

He warmed capitalist and compensation,

CLOTHES MADE OF WOOD.
Mems Garments Fashioned from Fi- bers of Various Kinds
 of Trees.

Tt will probably not be very long before we can go into one of the dry goods stores and say to a clerk: Let me see what you have in the line of wooden suits says Technical World Magazine. He may reply: Hard or soft?' whereupon it will be our part to specify that we want a suit of good pine. without any cheap sap wood Vests of this kind are already worn by the cardingroom foremen in some of the woolen mills. The ma. terial resembles . stif. thick cloth, and is apparently as durable as leather. It is not improbatie that In the future cheap suits. costing about 50 cents and guaranteed to last for years. will be made of spruce or pine. Napkins, shirts. collars of the finest quality, have long been made from the fiber of hemp; and in using wood for heav- fer cloth. the process is equally simple The wood is first ground into q soft pulp. and this pulp is pressed through holes in iron plates. It comes out in long ropes about one-half inch in dI. ameter. These ropes. which are very easily broken at this stage. are dried, and then twisted tightly. till finally they become as small as threads. Part of the threads are used for the warp. and part for the filling. out of which a strong web of wooden cloth is woven

BRIDGE IN CLOUDS.
SPAN OVER ROYAL GORGE TO
 BE HIGHEST IN WORLD.
Famous Canyon of the Arkansas River in Colorado Will Be Con- quered by Engineers at
 Cost of $1oo, ,ooo.

The Romans when they built their first bridge across the Fiber called 1t Pons Sublicius, and when the en- gineers construct the proposed suspen- sion bridge over the Royal gorge of the Arkansas river in Colorado they might we'll name 1t Pons Aerius, for while the Roman bridge was built on piles, the new bridge Is to be built at the very top of the gorges 2.soo feet above the river bed below. This altitude takes 1t up almost into the clouds and makes it the highest sus- pension bridge in the world.
 The work has been contracted for and it is proposed to have it ready for use early in July. Passengers carried across at this giddy height will be inclined to hold their breath and shut their eyes. but if they over- come their fears and look down they will see the river over half 6 mile be- low looking like silver thread.
 At the present time there is . hanging bridge which carries passen- gers across the gorge. but it is far below the proposed new bridge. which will be at the very top of the gorge.
 Thus win Colorado steal the dis tinction which the bridge over the Zambesi river at vivtoria falls. Rhodesia. South Africa. has claimed of being the highest bridge in the world. Its construction at an altitude of 45o feet above the river bed was consideredSa remarkable feat and trav- elers have made the trip half way round the globe to see this wonderful feature of the Cape to Cairo railroad. but now Colorado will claim the hon ors. for her new bridge will be six times as high.
 Up to the time of the building of the bridge over the Zambesi. the Clifton suspension bridge across the River Avon. below Bristol. England. held claim to being the highes. bridge in the world. being 2so feet above the water of the river. This distinction she had sres.ed from the suspension bridge over NiaEara river ID leef, nine years after the completion of the latter bridge. which could claim only 14s feet between the bottom of the bridge and the water below.
 Britain has one other notable sus- pension bridge. the Nensi chain sus- pension bridge across the Menai straits. in North wales This bridge is 1cz feet above high water. and vas built @ years ago.

 Not in the least. Do you like my hair done in this way, Jim" T don't know; yes--I think so. Is 1t any different from the usual way?"
 Entirely. Don't you remember? It is the way wore 1t five years ago. when we were first married" Five years? Aren't you little out in your reckoning? Are you sure?"
 Perfectly. Why, aren't you?"

 Yes, but I didn't mean an artificial one. There's all the world of differ ence."
 "Yes. suppose there Is. Shall wipe the color off. then?"
 Well. I should if I were you. It Is certainly not attractive"

ing four principal spans of 40 feet each. It was erected in 1851.
 Of the nine suspension bridges of considerable size in the world, Amer ics claims four. and will add one more to the list when the bridge in Colorado is completed in July. As we have already enumerated, England has two. Switzerland one. Russh one and Africa one. The bridges of this type in this country are the Niagara river suspension bridge already men, tioned. the Clifton suspension bridge. also at Niagara falls. the Cincinnati and Covington suspension bridge over the Ohio river and the famous Brook lyn bridge. which is over a mile in length and connects Brooklyn with New York. The center of this bridge Is 135 feet above high water. but the towers of the bridge are 27s feet above the waters surface. The bridge at Cincinnati Is sl feet above the water of the river.
 In most cases these bridges have
  been built for commercial purposes, but the bridge in Colorado is to be constructed for the scenic beauties vhick it win make accessible. The contract for the electric road that Is to cross the new bridge has already been let. and one and onehaIf miles of the road are completed. The cleo tric line aseends from Canon City by an easy gradient about n miles to the top of the Royal eorge. and from there passengers crossing the gigantic canyon of the Arkansas can look down on the famous hanging bridge which vfli be directly under the suspension bridgs The structure vill cost S1o0. eco.
