the present year contracts have been
awarded in forty-two cities for over
one million square yards.
Nine miles of the bitulithlc pave
ment have been laid in st. Louis, Mo-;
Lindell Boulevard, the principal thor
oughfare, leading to the main entrance
of the Louisiana Exposition, being
among the streets so paved.
The beginning of the Warren Bros
Company was a modest one, a single
small office in Boston being deemed
sufficient for immediate needs, but the
business soon outgrew these cramped
quarters and development since has
been so great as to compel two re-
movals. until at the present time an
entire floor in one of the largest Of
flee buildings in Boston and fifteen
branches in the principal cities of the
United States are required to attend
to the rapidly increasing demand for
the bitulithic pavement.

Worlds Fair was constructed, and
which is also the paving which has
lately been put down in Lindell, Del
mar and West Pine boulevards, and
is now being generally laid in other
streets in st. Louis. 1t is said that
there is no city in the Union where
more eXacting test of the bitulithic
paving has been made than in st.
Louis. This pavement has been laid

on Lindel boulevard, from Grand ave-
nue. to Kings highway; Delmar, from
Grand to Taylor avenue, and from
Kings highway to Union avenue;
West Pine from Grand avenue to
Kings highway; Maple, from Hamilton
to Hodiamont; Hickory street from
Broadway to Eighteenth; Fair, from
AlgernOn to Florissant; Theodosia,
from Hamilton to Hodiamont; Marcus,
from Page to Ashland; Vernon, from
West End to Walton, and Jefferson,
from Chouteau to Lafayette. Some of
these sweets are narrow and congest-
ed, and the traffic, being contracted, is
very heavy.
Much of the Worlds Fair hauling
was done on West Pine, where from
700 to 500 three and four horse teams
gave the bithulithic pavement the Sc
verest possible test, and the results
have been all that the company
Claimed they would De. unlike other
cities there is no restriction against
hauling on the boulevards in ST.
Louis, and the pavements on all the
streets have had usage that would
cause paving that was inferior to very
soon betray that fact but in no case
has the bitulithic preparation shown any
signs of breaking up or decaying.
Since the publication of the above
editorial in 1904 many cities of the
United States and Canada have adopt
ed and proved the excellence of bithu-
lithic above all other known pave
ments Walla Wallans have, there
fore, had the advantage of benefting
by the experience of other cities, and
in contracting with the Warren Con-
struction company have done so ad-
visedly.

ment the Warren Brothers company,
the members of which firm had been
from it's inception in the United
States to the introduction of the btu
for investigation by throwing open to
the public their laboratories, being as
fects as any one in order that they
might be remeded, their faith in the
inherent qualities of their invention
being unassailable. From the small
beginning in Pawtucket Of 2100 square
yards, which in four years has not
cost a penny for repairs and is as
good today as when originally laid,
the business of the company grew in
the first year to 16,40O square yards,
laid principally in experimental
stretches in sections most likely to
disclose any weaknesses it might pos
sess; but none were found, and practi-
cal tests under traffic showed that it
bore out in every particular the claims
of the patentees, which are, that the
stone of which it is composed takes
the wear of traffic; it will not rot and
dsintegrate; horses will not slip on it
in any weather, it is free from dust and
mud; and it can be successfully laid
on top of old stone blocks, bricks, ma
cadam or asphalt, if they have not
rotted
The Investigations of the bitulithic
pavement in its early life bore abund-
and and early fruit, as in 1902 it was
adopted in thirty-two cities to the ex-
tent of 365,932 square yards; in 1903
i in forty cities to the extent of SO0,O71
square yards; and up to August 1 of

1t is gratifying to be able to say

THE: CITY MEAT MARKET
Gus. Harras
Walla Walla, Wash.

Walla Walla's meat markets are ex-
ceptionally modern and well equipped
for a city of it's size. This may be
credited in part to the fact that Walla
Walla is a United States Post city, in
part to the age of the city, as compared
with other towns of the state, and
part also to the enterprise of its mar
ket owners. 1t may be said OF the
markets owned and run by Gus Harras
that they are among the best. And IL
may be a surprise to many of our read
ers to know that some of the choicest

pending on the size of pipe and con-
venience for getting the material into
the ditch. Full instructions for laying
are sent out with the pipe.
Carrying Capacity
The carrying capacity of our ma
chine banded pipe is greater than that
of cast iron or steel riveted pipe for
! two simple and logical reasons:
| First, planed surfaces of wood, under
the action of water, constantly tend to
become smoother with time and use.
The history of all wood water pipe
shows that the bore has been very
slightly enlarged, if at all, in so to
| 100 years constant use.
The second reason is clearly state
by Mr.. N. S. Taylor, city engineer Of
Tacoma, Wash, in a recent letter. Mr..
Taylor says:
I'm addition to the comparative
cheapness of wood pipe over iron pipe
| it possesses the advantage OF Keeping
clean inside, whereas iron pipe becomes
covered with large tuberculations
growing to the size of half a walnut
shell, which, in time seriously dimin-
ishes the discharging capacity of the
pipe The iron, also, in these places
is much deprecated through cleo
! trolosis."
In making a selection of material for
| the Improvement of Walla Walla' S
water system the council had the ad-
vice of the water users in a number
of towns, cities and districts where The
National Wood Pipe company's pipe is
used, namely: Tacoma, Seattle, Wash.
Los Angeles, Cal; McMinnvile, Ore;
Ontario, Ore; Oneida Irrigation Dis
trict, Idaho and others.
The National Wood Pipe company
was incorporated in 1896. Its home
office is at Los Angeles, Cal. 1t has
