rock roads IL they Just thought 40. I
have In mind two towns here IN Mis-
souri,. lying about six miles apart.
What IL land WORTH Well, land be
tween these two towns has sold "
Gently for 500 per acre. Probably not
an acre can be bought for less than
$50. Therefore the land value Is there.
As for rock, if We start from one town
to 20 to the other we find rock within
100 steps OF the highway before we
travel a mile. At two and a half miles
rock IL less than half a mile distant.
at three and a half miles only three
fourths OF n mile away. at four and
q quarter miles from town but a quar-
ter Of a mile to rock. while at Eve and
a half miles II Is only half a mile from
the road 10 the quarry that Is kept
open constantly. Here IL rock. auanti-
ties of 1t. Here is land worth more.
much more. than $50. Why don't these
people have a stone road? Is your an
swer ready? My answe has been CIV,
en-. The answer Is found In the convic
ton of the people that rock roads are
beyond their reach. The people have
been educated to this belief by reading
the walls that arise from our brethren
In the reckless region Of our nelghbor~
ing states. And all that Is needed to
inaugurate au era OF stone road con
struction right here In Missouri IL the
removal OF this mistaken conviction.
I'm conclusion. I pin my faith In the
future betterment Of our highways to
these foundation truths:
'First.~Six or eve feet of stone Is
sufficient for the average rural traffic.
Secondary community where
rock Is available Is behind the times IL
1t does not each year build a mile or
more Of stone road.
Third. Rock within two and a half
miles Is available where land is worth
$50.
Fourth. Where stone roads are ab,
solutely out Of the question aud where.
u they can be built, they are not yet
an accomplished improvement. a drag,
ged road is the best substitute.
Il hope to g the people settle down
to steady improvement a certain stat
ell amount each year. not necessarily
n great deal. but something. People
get scared when they begin to figure
on a large number of miles of expen,
sive road to be finished In a year or
two, Let promoters be content to make
a beginning and add a little each year."

DON PEDRO MVARADO
carnegie OF mexico
Poverty Stricken Miner Ten Years
AGO Now Weaithiest Man In All
The Southern Republic.

Chihuahua. Mexico, Feb. 7.-Don
Pedro Alvarado. owner OF the rich Pal
milo mine In this state, Is the An
drew Carnegie of Mexico. A decade
ago a poverty-stricken miner. living In
a little hut OF one room and often on
the verge OF starvation. he IL now the
wealthiest man In all the southern re.
public. His material possessions are
variously valued at from $500 0 10
5000. 900. The latter figure Ia prob
ably more nearly correct. since Don
Pedro some time ago offered to pay
the public debt Of Mexico. amounting
to $500. 000, 900. This offer was gra-
ciously refused by the government and
since that time Alvarado has been
husily engaged In other plans for rid.
ding himself of a portion of his wealth
with the result that he will shortly
begin the distribution Of $4,000. 900
among the poor people Of the state
of Chihuahua Don Pedro. unlike
many men of wealth, has not forgotten
what II Is TO be poor. and he shares
in Andrew Carnegie's belief that 1t Il
a disgrace to die rich. The money
will not be spent for libraries or uni
versities, however. Alvarado knows
a trick worth two Of that. He knows.
from bitter experience. that culture
and education do not fill empty stom.
achs. and will use his money in provid.
ing homes and farms for the poor,
equipping them so that they may be-
come independent and se.f-sustaininy.
Ten thousand Mexicans will be made
happy and comfortable by the first
appropriation Of $4,000. 900. and If the
plan Ia successful. the expenditure
wilt be increased ten.fold within a few
years.
Regarding his plan Don Pedro says;
II have taken my wealth from the soil
of Mexico and why should | not share
II with my fellow citizens? Ten years
ago I was as poor as the poorest OF
them. I have been fortunate and I In.
tend to share my prosperity with the
unfortunate. do not believe in build

which only help the rich and we'll

TELEPHONE ON CARS.
Useful in Train Dispatching-C onnec-
tions Quickly Made.
From Technical Literature.

FROM Technical Literature.
There are three methods followed in the
application of the telephone to electric rail-
way dispatching: % Fixed telephone sub
stations in booths placed at suitable points
along the line (2) Jack boxes at poles to
which portable telephones carried in the
cars may be hung and connected for tenn
porary use. CD Portable telephone sets hung
upon the front Of the car, the vestibule
platform of which serves at booth. and
attachment made by flexible wires to Jacks
at numerous poles along the line
On some railway lines the method of con-
meeting telephone on the car with the
line is not by means of jack at the side
OF the poles. but by a long slender rod car
rying the wires. which may be hooked unon
the main lines at any place.
The telephones used on electric railroad
systems must give transmission which ia
clear and loud, and Nlust be of types not
liable to be placed out of service by he ia r
Of continuous transportation on a car
Application of the telephone to train dis
patching on electric railways has resulted,
in marked economy of both plant and
operation. In that the ability of the SUPER
intendent to be Informed as to the positIon
of the various cars and to communicate
with their operators gives a greater serv-
ice efficiency to the road.
The telephone is Of great service in Sc
we're SnOwStormS by reason Of the facility
which it affords for information to be given
the train dispatcher as to the condition of
the road. In cases of mishap the telephone
affords means for the quick clearance OF
wrecking cars or repair hands. In cases of
accident not only can medical help be sum-
moned for the injured. but means can be
taken to procure Information relative to
details of the occurrence which may be OF
great Importance in ascertainlng the la
bility of the company.

BUILDING IN FIFTY CITIES
THE AGGREGATE VALUE LITTLE
CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR.
Gain in Washington-Salt Lake City
Occupies First Place With Gain
of 667 Per Cent.

Official building reports from some fifty
ceived by the American Contractor, New
York. and tabulated, show in the aggregate
value of building permits granted in June.
1907, compared with those for the cor
responding month of last year, very nearly
equal, the losses slightly predominating
Some cities show astonishing gains and
others equally remarkable losses This is
largely due to the issuance of large single
permits during June, 1906. For the most
part the construction business of the coun-
try is moving forward IN orderly, con-
servative highly satisfactory manner,
the total reported loss being a very small
traction OF l per cent. When the immense
amount OF building done last year is taken
into account this must be regarded as in
quite normal and may well be expected
to continue, since the freely predicted re-
action has not materialiZed.
The following figures show the percentage
of gains in leading cities Birmingham. IS;
Bridgeport. IS, Chicago, 8; Chattanooga,
PA; Denver, I; Detroit, So; Evansville. 81:
Harrisburg Al; indianapolis. 124; Louisville,
IS; Pittsburg. IL; Spokane, 4i2; Salt Lake
City. 667; Topeka. 167I-Tacoma. 1Oi: Wash
ington. 13. Losses are Indicated by the fol-
lowing figures: Buffalo, "a; Cleveland, 16;
Dallas. 33; Duluth, 80; Grand Rapids, So;
Hartford. 9; Kansas City 46: Los Angeles.
SO; Milwaukee. Al; Mobile, 70; New Haven,
80; Newark, 10; Greater New York, 8; Phil
adelphia. II; St Louis. 80; st. Paul. 30;
Syracuse, "a; Toledo. 8. A gain of per
cent in Chicago and a loss of only 9 per
cent in New York shows the great regu-
larity of building operations.
