COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Black Diamond
today says: Coal conditions are be-
ginning to adjust themselves to the
new state of affairs in the Chicago
market and great many of the coal
operators have started to curtail the
output until buying has been resumed
on larger scale. The market now
divides itself into two sections, the
steam coal trade and the bituminous
trade. The former is extremely weak
and, unless conditions are deceiving,
is likely to become weaker before
there is any material improvement.
The domestic coal trade is extremely
quiet, but the change in the weather
which is expected at almost any time
is likely to bring about revival in
the market and a strengthening OF
prices

one time, making a systematic sur
vey of the township sufficient to de-
eide what size OF bridge should go in
at each place
1t is the constant endeavor of the
Commission to raise the standard of
bridge construction and encourage the
adoption of the most suitable and eco
nomical materials that a given condi-
tlon requires. Highway bridges are
to be found in every community and
the Importance of their proper design
and economic construction has been
too long neglected. The introduction
of permanent reinforced concrete
bridges will be urged in every in
stance where this form of design can
be appropriately used.
Farmers Institutes.
BY the means of Farmers Institutes
much of the misconception and un-
founded prejudice against the High.
way Commission have been entirely
dispelled and a practical interest
aroused on the subject of road and
bridge Improvement. In Illinois any
plan of highway work which does not
appeal to the common sense Of the
members of the Farmers Institutes is
doomed to failure.
Field Open.
There is large field of operation
for State Highway Commission in
investigating and finding out what
are the best methods to be used I'M
der certain conditions and. having
found them out, making them known
to everybody Let It be known that
every commissioner can, for the trou-
BILE of asking, get advice on all mat
tiers of road and bridge building; that
in fact the Highway Commission is a
bureau of practical road information
based on the best and most up-to-date
methods. What is needed for the pres
ent is to get better results without
increased taxation, and it is on this
one principal alone that the work of
the State Highway Commission is
based.

TELEPHONE RUMORS.
Rural Lines May Be Transferred
to Bell Company.

There has been rumor current
among the farmers for some time as
to certain dissatisfaction which has
arisen over the service of the Home
Telephone Co. on the rural lines, due,
it is thought, to inadequate facilities
at the central station for the handling
of their large volume of business. The
rural lines are each an Independent
company in itself, the subscribers own
ing their telephones, wires and poles
up to their connection with the city
cables of the Home Telephone Co.,
and the rent paid by them is for the
privilege of connecting with the larg-
er system and for repairs on the line.
A number of subscribers on the rural
lines running out OF this city have
got together and talked of plans for
dropping the service of the Home
Company and connecting their lines
with the Bell system, in the hopes of
securing more satisfactory service. 1t
has been stated unotficially that in
ducements have been offered to them
to make the change, in the way of
guaranteeing certain number of sub
scrlbers in Oskaloosa and in regard to
the charges for repairs, etc. 1t is
expected that a meeting of some of
the farmers will be held in the near
future to consider the proposition and
to take some action either in demand
ing Of the Home company better ser.
vices or in deciding to transfer their
lines to the Bell system. Such a
change, if made, would be of material
interest to city subscribers, as well as
those in the rural districts, as the
New or Home phone has been almost
necessity owing to the greater num-
Der of subscribers on that line.
Manager j. A. Thomas of the Bell
system replied to the inquiries of a
Herald reporter that he could say
nothing whatever IN regard to the ru-
NOR as yet, as he did not care to
make any statements which he could
not follow up. In regard to the busi-
ness of their company in general he
said, however: "Our service in the
city is growing steadily and our rec
ord for the past three weeks is but
one phone taken out, and That be-
cause the family removed from the
city. | think three phones is all we
have lost in the last six months. /
don't care to make any comparisons
between our company and any other
for we have never deemed it advis-
able to talk against our competitors,
but our aim is to give our subscrib-
ers the best of service and in solic-
iting new business all we care to do
is to talk of the merits of our own
telephone"

Work of the Illinois Highway Commits
sion, BY A. N. Johnson, State
Engineer, Springfield, III.

Nearly half the cash tax for roads
and bridges in 1905 was spent for
bridges. In a number OF counties six.
ty per cent of the amount spent for
roads and bridges was for bridges, so
that this feature OF highway work is
one of particular Importance in llli-
nois. A casual investigation only was
necessary to establish the fact, how
ever, that majority of the bridges
We're about half the requisite strength
and many cost approximately twice
what they should The reason for this
can be summed up as due to the lack
of skilled supervision. 1t is not ex-
pected that commissioners and super
visors are engineers, yet they must ex-
pend the tax payers money for
bridges, about which they know moth
ing, nothing about the requisite
strength, nothing about the proper
cost. 70 correct these conditions,
the Illinois Highway Commission Of
lCln IitS VI Shii W IiS riONdl ili6iA
way officials, designs, estimates, and
specifications for highway bridges of
all kinds, and the demand for this aid
indicates that it will be one of the
most important phases of the work
of the Commission. ...
Scarcely township in the state but
has very small bridges with plank
floors, and in many cases plank for the
abutments, which are a source of
constant danger to the travelling pub
lie and an endless expense to the tax
payers. 1t is within the means of
every township to replace these small
bridges, that is, bridges with spans to
fifty feet, with concrete structures.
Some townships may prefer or be able
to build but one or two of these
bridges year, but the most econom-
ical plan would be to construct all at
