BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.
Valuable Wood Used In Mexican
Structure for Pedestrians
And Teams.

AS mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world, it may
well be inferred that this tropical
material is not very extensively en-
ployed in the construction of build
ings, etc. A bridge constructed of
solid mahogany is certainly a rarity,
a curiosity. There is one, claimed
to be the only one in the world, built
of that material. This structure is
located in the Department of Palen-
que, State of Chiapas, Republic of
Mexico. The district lies in the ex-
IRENE southwestern part of Mexico,
near the boundry line of Guatemala.
This mahogany bridge is construct
ed entirely of that valuable wood,
except some iron supports, braces
and nails that are necessary. The
bride spans the Rio Michel and its
total length, including approaches.
exceeds $40 feet. while the width is
fifteen feet. 1t is used by both
teams and pedestrians and, though
some what rude and primitive In
construction. it isvery substantial.
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber PLAN
tations and mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the trop-
ical forests for setting out the young
rubber trees. the mahogany growths
are also cut down and removed. As
this wood is quite abundant, some
of it was used in the building of the
bridge.

1906 TOBACCO SOLD.
Daviess County Equity Ware
house Co., Sell Trash.
Violated Agreement With Other
Equity Companies and
Trouble May Follow.

The 1906 crop Of trash tobacco
controlled by the Daviess county
Equity Warehouse Company has
been sold says the Owensboro Mes
senger.
This announcement will cause sur
prise in every tobacco growing Sec
ton in the Green river district.
The tobacco has been sold for sew
eral days, but the transaction was
kept from the public. The Purchas-
er of the tobacco is Robert O'Flynn,
who recently bought the Elliott fac
tory on Triplett street.
The 1906 crop of tobacco controlled
by the Daviess county Equity Ware
house Company consists of about one
million pounds. There are two re-
ports as to the sale of tobacco. One
is that only certain grade OF the
trash was purchased. Another re-
port is that the entire crop was dis
posed of. The price to be paid is
$3.50 hundred pounds.
1t will be remembered that an
agreement existed in the Society Of
Equity in Daviess county that none
Of the 1906 crop Of tobacco was to
be sold until the remaining portion
of the 1904 crop and the 1905 crops
of tobacco had been disposed of.
The sale of the trash by the home
warehouse people is sure to cause
much comment by the Equity peo-
pie over the district. 1t is believed
that immediate action will be taken
by the Equity men who are not con-
nected with the Home Warehouse
Company.

UNIQUE PLAN
To Run Postal Service BY Pri-
vate Corpora
tiOn.

w. d. Boyce. the publisher, and
several times a millionaire. of Chi
cago. has startled the country by max
ing known a proposition to take the
postal service out of the hands of the
Government and run it, in connect
ion with number of other business
men. on a system which will net
large profits to the corporation. Mr..
Boyce has been in Washington for
the purpose of laying his plans be-
fore the Government and to try to
get the matter adjusted at an early
date, if possible. The proposition is
substantially as follows: To turn
over the postoffice' business to a $780,
600 900 corporation under full Gov
eminent regulations; to reduce
one half all postal rates. establish
rural postal express and apply BUSH
methods throughout; to pay the Gov
eminent rental for postoffice quar-
tiers, and charge it regular rates for
its postal business; to place in change
a wellknown railroad traffic expert
to whom the place has been offer
ed at $4,000 annually; to elm
mate all sinecures. politics, and the
deficit and to pay the Government
all profits above seven per cent. on
capital.
The proposal includes an agree
ment to Immediately cut postage
rates in half. Under such an ar
rangement there could be no deficit
for the Government to meet because
the corporation would have to make
ends meet. 1t is proposed to pay the
Government rental for all postoffice
quarters occupied in public building
and to charge the government reg
ular rates for services performed for
it:
Mr.. Royce says that he is thorough
ly in earnest in his proposition, and
desires early action by Congress. If
the proposition has no other result,
it may bring about discussion where
by the enormous deficit existing
may. to some extent, at least. be ell
mated under CONTROL of the Govern
ment.

TRUSTEE RESPECTS
MRS. ELLI0T'S WISH

"a man can afford to be poor, but
he can't afford to be dishonest. This
is said to have been the expression Of
Walter j. Trask, trustee of the Elliot
estate, when it was suggested to him
that he could erect a building on the
Yerxa corner to the memory of the late
Dr. Elliot, thus securing revenue
producer and at the same time comply
ing technically with the wish of Mrs.
Elliot: lately deceased.
it develops that the fact that the
University of Minnesota is to receive
a portion Of the proceeds Of the sale
of the Yerxa corner and other real
estate, simply because the trustee has
made it a matter of personal honor to
provide. the funds for memorial hos
pital building. The will of Mrs. Elliot
is said to contain no clause which
makes it devolve upon the trustee to
carry out her desire to have memo
rial for her husband. The agreement,
if any, is simply a verbal one, it is
said, or a wish expressed by Mrs. FL
lot in conversation, that such memo
rial should be established.

Angeles, was admitted to the bar in

of Wilson & McNair. The firm of
which he is now. a member is the legal
representative in Los Angeles of the

KERST WELDED
HIS BIG STICK
ITAsCA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
GAVE RIGHT IN.
Public Examiner Gave Notice of Dire
Consequences If They Persisted in
Dropping Case Against Bond of For
mer County Treasurer, and They Re
considered Action at Once,


Public Examiner Kerst took his "big
stick" with him yesterday to Grand
Rapids, and induced the Itasca county
commissioners to change front on the
case of the, former county treasurer,
c. G.. Miller, who is believed to be short
over $4,000. = ..
Miller,s shortage \ was discovered
when he left the office in January,
1905, and an accountant was. put to
work soon after. The surety, bond for
$4,000 covered the shortage, and 1t
much Miller was short. After spending
about $4,000 on this work, the commits
sioners ordered it dropped Jan. 16 by
a vote of 3 to 2. y.~
Mr.. Kerst went to Grand Rapids to
attend the commissioners meeting yes
terday, and asked them to resume the
Investigation, so that the shortage
could be collected. The majority OF
the commission met his suggestion cold
ly, and, in fact, gave him decided
stick appeared. Mr.. Kerst Informed the
commissioners that if they declined to
take the matter up, he would assume
charge himself, and, furthermore that
he would report the facts; to the gov
ernor on his return. $500 81.
The commissioners "caved' at once.
They lost no time In passing another
resolution, unanimously, continuing the
examination Of the treasurer s office.
They assured the public examiner that
every effort would be made to deter.
mine, the amount of the shortage and
collect it from the bond company.
Mr.. Kerst was all ready, it is un'
derstood, to prefer charges Of malfea-
sance in office before the governor
directed against the three commission
ers responsible; for stopping the invess-
LEGATION, Lang, Mullins and 'Brien. "A
similar course in Beltrami county re-
suited in the removal of three commits
sioners, and the kasca fathers did not
court such a proceeding.
