A PROTECTING DISPLAY

has the appearance of being decidedly
practical.
Senator Rice has introduced a bill
increasing the salary Of the governor
to $1,000 annually. This is one Of the
things which should be done. It seems
preposterous that man sufficiently
large to be creditable governor of
North Dakota should not have salary
something commensurate with his
value.
Senator Little introduced bill
providing for the abolition of the state
weather bureau.
Considerable joking is being indulg-
ed in because Senator Cashel has in
troduced bill for the repeal of the
Streeter libel law. The senator was
the chairman of the democratic state
central committee during the late un-
pleasantness and during the discuss
sion of the merits Of the campaign,
some things unpleasant were said and
written, and while practically none
of these were aimed at the genial
chairman of the democracy, the claim
is made by those who desire to have
some amusement out of the matter
that the distinguished senator is
thinking Of some of his friends and
that he has been importuned to have
retroactive clause added to his bill.
Senator Stade introduced a bill
changing the law and requiring ten
years occupancy in order to secure
title to real property under that prin-
ciple. THIS is certainly good mea-
sure, and Is in line with the older
states, many of which require an un-
disputed possession Of twenty years
in order to secure title by possession
alone.
The House.
The house is far more disposed to
give pyrotechnic displays than is the
senate. This was illustrated today
when the seemingly dry matter-of-fact
circumstance of drawing seats was
conducted. 1t was proposed that they
should be drawn by counties in al
phabetical order, and resolution to
this end was introduced. A substi.
tute was proposed that the drawing
should be by counties and then the
adoption Of the resolution was the

CITY 0Bl|TERATED

for the largest ships. and is inclosed
on the south by a long tongue of land,
at the extremity of which is Port
Royal
The population of Kingston is about
$4,000.
The city of Kingston is laid out with
regular and wide streets and the bet
ter class Of houses are neatly built,
with wide verandas and surrounded by
handsome gardens. Street cars run to
the suburbs and two lines of railway
connect the city with the northern and
eastern parts of the island.
Kingston has a botanical garden.
library, museum, hospital and various
other public buildings and Is the seat
of an Anglican bishopic.
The harbor of Kingston is consider
ed to be one of the finest in the world
and is protected by forts. There is
naval arsenal at Port Royal. The
channel leading to the bay is narrow
and about twenty-five feet deep, and
the bay itself affords excellent anchor
age for the largest vessels.
Is Commercial Center.
Nearly all the trade of the colony Of
Jamaica centers at Kingston and the
commercial houses of that city have
extensive relations with Southern
Cuba, Central America and so on, as
we'll as with the United States and
Europe. The exports are mainly
sugar, rum, coffee, dyewoods and
fruits.
The streets of Kingston run at right
angles to the sea and were originally
laid out by compass north and south,
while those parallel to the general
shore line run east and west, but in
consequence of the variation of the
compass the north and south streets
now have bearing of north two de-
grees and the east and west streets
bear northwest and southeast eighty
five degrees. 1t will therefore be seen
that these streets are at right angles
with each other.
The land on which Kingston stands
has a general slope to the sea of about
ninety feet per mile, and must origin
ally have had a uniform surface, but
in consequence of former neglect in
permitting flood waters to flow down
the north and south streets they are
now so worn as to be much below the
general level. In consequence of this
depression of the north and south
streets the east and west streets now
furnish an irregular section at the in
tersections.
Sixth Of Big Disasters.
Following so soon after the San
Francisco and the Valparaiso earth
quake, the destruction of Kingston
and the devastation of tho adjacent
territory in Jamaica ranks with the
six most sinister calamities of his
tory.
San Francisco was twisted and torn
by series Of tremendous seismic ire
mors early on the morning of April
10 last. The shocks came without
warning and found the city entirely
unprepared. Most of the citizens were
in bed asleep.
While the shocks were terrific, in
their capacity for havoc, the monetary
loss would have been comparatively
small compared to the ultimate sum
total due to the combined ravages of
the earthquake and the fire which
came after The wrenching and rend-
ing of the earth caused the ruination
of the water pipes, not alone in San
Francisco, but in adjacent cities and
towns within the limits of the disturb
ance

tar, as you may find out for yourself,
Water can be mixed to certain ex-
tent with tar, but it is hard to mix
oil and water. A clear and warm day
is desirable for the application, and
the oil, like the tar, should be put
on evenly, SO that there may be no
pools Of Oil standing upon the surface
of the road. Travel should be kept of
long enough so that the oil may be-
come thoroughly absorbed. On &C.
count of its lack of body oil should be
applied two or three times at intervals
of month or so.
"Oil has been used considerably in
the west on gravel roads where II has
been found to combine with the gravel
so as to form wearing surface OF con.
siderable durability. Its use should
not be attempted on roads In which
loan or clay predominant, and in all
cases the surface of the road should
be dry.
call over the country inquiries are
being made as to how to protect the
surface of macadam road from do.
struction by automobiles. Means for
the preservation or renewal of the
wearing surface must be found which
will amount to reformation or revo-
luton in the work of road-making. Az
present the surface of a macadam roaA
must be cared for in about two years
after it is built. The suction Of rap
idly-moving automobile picks up the
fine particles on the surface and scat
tiers them, leaving the course stone
beneath unprotected and prey to the
next vehicle. 1t has no shield to save
it from the impact of wheel or hoof.
The fine stone rapidly grinds out and
disappears, and the larger ones become
loose upon the surface to be driven
down, and further aid in the destruc-
ton of the road so that repairs are
necessary. All men interested in road
making are working to find covering
for the macadam road which shall
Withstand the automobile and all other
forms of traffic. 1t may be that the
use of oil or tar will finally solve the
problem so recently thrust upon u.s."
