Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

Another of the hale old men OF
the government service is Sena-
tor Morgan of Alabama who this
week celebrated his SIND birth
day. He was warmly congratu-
lated by all of his associates in
the senate and went off prompt
ly to have another fight with
William Nelson Cromwell before
the Committee on the Panama
Canal. MIR. Cromwell IS a recall
citrant witness before the COM
mittee and Mr.. Morgan has been
batting him persistently for
weeks. He may not get any
thing out Of him in the end, but
the avidity with which the old
senator takes to the exercise
shows that he is by no means
superannuated.

Sanitary Construction.

Sanitary construction is the basis
on which all good construction rests
The house must be built with due
regard to sanitary requirements and
conditions or it will be completely
unfit for occupancy. Some condi.
tons to building are so ESSENTIAL as to
be automatic Thus brick, though
unavoidably porous, should be a.:
free from porosity as possible; the
wood should be we'll seasoned and
sound; the plaster and wall cover
ings should be impermeable Even
quite modest house buildings is az
expensive undertaking, and the best
possible materials should always be
used. These not only have greater
durability than materials of lesser
grade, but their superior properties
render the dwelling much more fit
for habitation. There is no greater
crime in building thar to build
Cheap"
The great problem of sanitary
construction is the exclusion of
damp. 1t is the most serious nat
ural force the house builder has to
contend against, because it is always
present Most of his materials are
porous, both brick and stone, and
many woods, and he cannot build
well unless he fights this enemy of
houses at every point.-American

Prospects for the canal bill
are little brighter and it looks
as though vote on it would re-
suit in a majority in favor of the
lock canal type. Ten days ago
this would have been thought
impossible but such has been the

There is no question that it will

No Cholera in the Country.

Cholera scares cannot be success
fully piloted in stock yard circles at
present Trade experts are prepared
to assert that there is no old-fashioned
cholera in the country. Not even the
usual number of little pigs suffering
with dy;sentery, the result of feeding
new corn, are showing up. Over the
greater portion of the belt corn has
matured SO well that it is being fed to
hogs with safety. Packers declare thar
post mortem examinations show some
dysentery, but absolutely no specific
cholera. What the people down on the
Board OF Trade do not know about hog
cholera would fill a portly volume.
Whenever an outbreak occurs it is soon
heard of in the stock yards. owing to
a rush to get stock to the butcher. to
save it's life, so to speak. Always nj
this season Wisconsin markets q lot Of
pigs and light hogs-owing to the fin
ish Of the pasture season and the fact
that they have not fattening material
up there. 1t Is also the season for
belly-ache hogs, but the number Of that
kind showing up is much smaller than
usual. People who talk so glibly about
cholera do not know what 1t means.
Whenever cholera breaks out the stock

Bio Profit in Sheep.

Practical sheepmen who have been
in the business twenty years or more
say that never in their experience was
the sheep industry as profitable as 1t Is
today, says message from Cheyenne,
Wyo w. w. Gleason, of the Warren
Live Stock Company, who has felt the
ebb and flow of sheep and wool prices
almost since frontier days, says:
'In 1893 we shipped 5000 head of
sheep to Aurora, ILL.,, some Of which
netted us but 75c each. The average
was about 81 head Good ewes are
now bringing SIS and up while lambs
are in demand at 50.
In 1869, think 1t was, Wyoming
wool was bringing as low as sc. We
simply could not afford to sell it at
such figure, and we could hardly af-
ford to hold it, but we did until the
following year, and sold it for Sc per Id.
The wool clip of 1906 brought some-
thing like 24c per ID"

Co.'S weekly review of trade TO-DAY,
says:
The advancing season has broaden
ed retail trade in staple lines, notably
heavy weight clothing and footwear,
while wholesale and jobbing depart
ments make satisfactory returns, and
there is definite improvement In the
promptness with which mercantile col
factions are made Industrial opera
tons are on an unprecedented scale.
with especial pressure at steel mills,
car shops and ship yards. Prices are
well maintained, the general level
showing a net gain since the montn
opened Railway blockades still delay
shipments, yet earnings for OCTOBER
thus far surpass last years by 20 per
cent.
Aside from the advance of 81 per ton
in the price of pipe iron at the close OF
last week, quotations Of iron and steel
remain steady, but notably firm The
general level of quotations is now at
the highest point since the beginning
of 1903, and there is much more sta
bility than was noted four years ago.
In the textile industries interest CEN
tiers around the probability of future
advance or reaction in the price of raw
cotton. Thus far the rise has been
sufficient to bring about a general rise
in prices Of cotton goods. while the
manufacturer now dictates terms at
which business is to be transacted.
Narrow grain markets have prevail
ed, crop prospects continuing favor
able. and no new influences appearing
to affect the situation.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for October amounts
ed to $4,561,211, of which $2,s2o,177
were in manufacturing, $1.671,SSS In
trading, and s64,701 in other CONNER
cial lines.
Failures this week numbered 1856 in
the United STATES, against 233 last
year, and IL in Canada compared with

Steel CORPORATION to Make Cement.


The United States Steel Corpora
ton has perfected plans to dominate
the Portland cement industry of this
country. This step is in keeping with
the modern tendency of big corpora
tons to utilize every ounce Of by-pro-
ducts. The Sreel Corporation will
make use of it's Stag, which has hereto
fore been of practically no value, and
by this means it is hoped to add ma
terially to revenue. The demand for
cement is growing at a rapid rate, and
the industry is regarded as peculiar
ly profitable one for the steel trust,
with it's unriyaled facilities, to engage
in.
Official announcement made of the
plans by which the Steel Corpora
ton not only will control the Port
land industry in Chicago, but will in
wade the east by building plant near
Pittsburs.
The Universal Portland Cement
Company. capitalized at s1,000,oo0, took
over on October 1 the plants and bus
mess of the cement department of the
Illinois Steel Company. 1t is planned
to increase the output of cement by
nearly $50 per cent by the erection of a
new plant near Pittsburg. To do this
100000 will be expended-taken from
an appropriation made by the manage
ment Of the Steel Corporation last
spring. When the plants are complet-
ed the yearly output will be about g.
100000 barrels and will exceed by 10
per cent that of the entire country.
This will give the corporation the
premier position in the industry, and it
is probable that other plants will be
stared to keep pace with what is ex-
pected to be a rapidly growing de-
nland.
