Cofton.Stnlk Fiber Pnper.

Mr. Harvie Jordan, president OF
the Southern Cotton Association, in
an article prepared for and pub
lished by the Manufacturers Record
of Baltimore, declares that the man
ufacture of paper from the fiber of
the cotton stalk is one of the latest
and most interesting inventions of
the new century. For many years
expert inventors have been busy en-
gagged experimenting with the cotton
stock, and according to Mr.. Jordan,
recent developments give assurance
that their labors are to be rewarded
with signal success. Not only have
these Investigations passed the ex-
perImental stage, but they are rap
idly being shaped to be placed into
practical operation. Mr.. Jordan
says:
ut has been unquestionably DEM
onstrated that all grades OF paper,
from the best form OF linen grade
to the lowest, can be manufactured
from cotton stalks. In addition to
this, a variety of byproducts, such
as alcohol, nitrogen, material for
gun cotton and smokeless powder,
can also be secured In paying guam
titles. The time is not far distant
when paper plants equipped with
all modern machinery and devices
for making paper and the utilization
OF other by-products referred to will
be built and placed In operation,
throughout the cotton-g growing states
OF the South. The establishment of
these mills for the manufacture of
paper from cotton stalks will at once
develop new Industry OF quite
enormous proportions and Institute
tho utilization OF waste product
winch az the present time has COM
paratively little or no value. IL viii
prove the entering wedge of check
ing the present increasing cost OF
paper which is becoming such a bur-
den upon the newspaper Industry of
the country.

CONDUIT LEAKS.

According to Contractor Moran's or
gans, the imperfections of the con-
duit which were responsible for it's
leaks, are due to the engineering plans.
According TO the men familiar with
the plans and Specifications. such leaks
as existed We're due solely to imperfect
concrete work put in by the contrac-
tor. That is all there is to the dis
cussion on this point. If the plans
had been at fault, the whole conduit
would have leaked from one end to the
other. whereas the council inspection
showed that only certain sections Of
the work failed TO hold water
Any f1rst-cIass engineer knows that
the biggest conduits in the country fol-
low exactly the same construction as
the Big Cottonwood; concrete with
grOut inside. There is no big work of
recent years in which a plaster lining
was used; and the St. Louis session
of the American Institute of Civil En-
gineers brought out a consensus of
opinion that plaster was a useless ex-
pense because no means of holding it
in place in running water could be de-
vised.
So much for the plaster. The pro-
posal to thicken the walls is only an
excuse to pay Moran more money.
The strength of the concrete re-en-
forced by steel bars, as originally de-
signed. is ample: it follows the best
practice of modern engineering, and
simple tests would have convinced an
honest council that any additional
thickness of walls is unnecessary. The
same thing may be said of the line
adopted, the proposal to carry the con-
duit on piers to save entertainments,
and the proposal to cover the conduit
with earth.
When it is remembered that the city
engineer has always made it a prac-
tice to side with Moran against the
city, when there was any question OF
extras" as the records Of the board
of public works show. It is only natu-
raj TO believe that the city engineers
judgment when Moran is concerned is
cut on the bias. With Kelsey as the
godfather of the job. and A. J. Davis,
T r. Black and NJ. Z. Mulvey as chief
sponsors, the public may be pardoned
for its firm conviction that the city
treasury is being jobbed to the tune
OF $4,000 for no good purpose.
tt should be understood, too, that
the end of the grab is not yet in sight.
It is proposed to let the city pay for
the forms" which Moran will use in
his change Of the walls. That means
several thousand dollars extra" No
Job Moran has ever done under Kel-
sey's supervision was paid for without
2 big bill Of extras" Further, If the
record means anything, no job Moran
ever will do for the city under Kelsey
will lack extras" and plenty Of them.
If the American" party likes that
sort of business. so much the worse
for the American" party. The people
who foot the bill know what is being
done, they will have an opportunity
10 know It better when they come TO
pay taxes this fall.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

Bird S. Coler, borough president Of
Brooklyn, who ran against Ode1 for
governor of New York a few years
ago and was beaten only by the mar
rowest of margins, believes that the
Republican party is going to receive
the worst beating in it's history in
New York state at the next election.
A few evenings ago Mr.. Coler opened
the Brooklyn Pure Food Exhibition.
In the course of his opening address he
assailed men who seek to purchase
legislatures and predicted that the
Republican party in the state would
be defeated by 100000 votes next fall.
Declaring that enormous fortunes are
now being piled up by fraud and de-
ceit, he continued:
ct has become difficult, if not dan
gerous, to do the simplest bit Of trad
ing. If you buy a piece of real es-
tate without engaging the service Of
an expert to keep you from being
cheated, your friends are apt to look
upon you as an idiot. If you make any
contract of importance without hiring
a lawyer to protect your interest the
chances are ten to one that you will
be cheated"
Mr.. Coler simply voiced the general
unrest of the country and the prevail
ing belief that the Republican party is
responsible for the laxity of morals.
public and private, throughout the ma
ton. This sentiment is particularly
strong in New York, represented in
the senate by Depew and Platt, and
the home Of the insurance companies,
whose directors gave their policy hold
ers' money to Republican campaign
funds. Mr.. Coler undoubtedly is an
accurate observer and has read Alright
the signs which indicate that a polit-
/ zeal housekeeping is due in the Empire
state.

MO YACHT RACE.

Americans who enjoy taking a fall
out Of England at regular intervals
will regret that there Is little POSSIBLE
Ity of an international yacht race for
the Americas cup before 1908 at the
earliest. No American seriously doubts
that such a competition would result,
as all such have resulted for more than
half a century, in the triumph of the
American boat and the American sail
ors. However, in the interval before
the next race patriotic Americans may
unite in lamenting that American boat
builders and American sailors are I'M
able TO produce and man a merchant
marine that win compete with the
fleet Of England. We may join our
tears at the hard fate that permits US
to excel in making and manning play
boats but leaves US inferior in the bus
lness department Of ship making and
ship manning. That is, we may do
this. if we really believe, as we are
assured by the shipping interests and
It's representatives, that we are assur-
eddy inferior TO England and other
European nations in this respect.
As to an international yacht race. the
outlook for 1907 is not at all bright,
according TO the Boston Herald, which
usually is well informed in nautical
matters 1t adds:
Admittedly. it is a far cry from
March, 1906, to the Last date on which
