Government Boat Wathloma
Work.

The government snag boat Math-
Iona, in charge of William T. Reed,
will be stationed here at Independ-
ence the next few weeks, doing re-
pair work at the lower end of the
rock work below town.
While little damage was done to
the abutment work itself by the high
waters In early spring, the river bank
at its lower end was washed consld-
.erbly, and in such a way that anoth-
Ell food might endanger the rock
work. A considerable number OF
piles will be driven. and the rock
work extended down the river sever
al hundred feet. The rock for the
work will be obtained at the mouth
OF the Luckiamute and brought down
by the Mathloma. The pile driver
was brought up Sunday and left
here, while the Mathloma went on up
the river TO pull the Pomona OF the
snags. The dredge has been at
Salem and trip down was made
yesterday TO bring It up TO Independ-
enc, where the work is TO be done. A
fair-sized crew will be engaged at the
work, which will require probably as
much as three weeks 10 complete.
The main portion OF the work 10
he done this year along the william
ette will be below Salem, near Wheat
land, whore several hundred thou
sand yards of roc kwork Is TO be
done, also good-siZed dam Is TO be
constructed, Only repair work is
contemplated In the vicinity of Inde-
pendenee, or possibly a little new
work in order TO protect the old. An
appropriation is necessary in order TO
embark upon new work. and as such
is not available at the present time
only the repair work will be done at
this point at present.
While the Mathloma's pile driver
is here l., Damon, the O. c. T. agent,
will take advantage of it's presence
TO have several piles driven at the
dock to extend it out in the river TO
deeper water, which will be apppe-
ciated by vessels plying on the river,
AZ well as the o. C. 7. steamers

A New Flooring Material.


This new insulating material has
for It's principal component granulat-
ed cork, and is called "corticite. 4"
It's application is unlimited, for Il
will resist the cold Of a Siberian win
ter and the rays of a tropical sun !;
also the attacks OF insects, even the
white ant being powerless against It.
As a non-conductor of sound It should
be useful in city fats. On boilers and
boiler tubes it Is said to reduce the
temperature of the boiler room TO an
agreeable one. II is not inflammable
and may be generally adopted for pc
titions and Innings OF houses. Bricks
and slabs OF "corticite" are made
for this purpose, and can be sawed
and bored like wood. 1t would seem
TO possess special advantages for use
on warships, taking the place of
wood as far as possible.
In addition TO those uses OF corti-
cite noted above very important use
Is for flooring, and enclose n sample
OF such flooring in each package.
These samples show only one color
and OF single thickness. There are
several colors, although the red is
most even in tint, and n double thick
ness. Tho material is applied direct
ly to the floor, TO which IL very
strongly adhcres. IL requires two
or three days 10 dry, and is then
claimed to be fire, water and sound
proof. ! have seen an Office floor of
corticite In constant use for more
than year and II docs not show the
least sign OF wear. Great durability,
amounting almost to indestructibil-
ity, is claimed for Il, and Il is easily
cleaned and kept clean. 1t is not
very expensive, single thickness floors
being laid for about 81 the square
yard. Corticite floors would seom TO
be the ideal things on war vessels,
passenger steamers, hospitals, school
rooms, and indeed wherever large
numbers OF persons congregato and
sanitary conditions are important.
Corticite floors are insect and germ
proof. as we'll as sound, fire and
water proof. They are warmer than
oil cloth or llnoleum floors, and are
pleasant 10 walk upon. Then cam

the responsibility of providing for
them rests, in modern time, upon the

for the talented mechanic better
than today. The aspirant lives in
his own home, surrounded by It's in

There is, undeniably, a dark and
discouraging side to mechanical work

Peace Conference Justifles its Ex-

Peace Conference Justifies its Ex-
istence.
The most pleasing incident of the
peace conference recently held in
New York City was the effectual
souelching of William T. Stead by
DR.. William H. Maxwell, the City
Superintendent of Schools. This
was a feat which no other human
being had ever achieved before.
Even the English courts of law had
attempted the task in vain. Mr..
Stead had traversed the four quar-
ters of the globe, everywhere writ
ling, talking and believing, with an
utter disregard for anybody's COM
fort or convenience. In New York he
| had cursed and damned before gath
erings of clergymen and children;
he had thrust in his oar with regard
to all sorts of matters which con-
cerned him not at all. Yet every
one appeared to be reduced to a sort
of impotence before the whirring of
this human windmill. No one had
the nerve and the strong will to rise
and jam him down into the silence
which best BELTS him. But he found
his Waterloo when he began his
corybantic performances at that ses-
sion of the peace conference over
which DR.. Maxwell presided. The
speakers had agreed to limit them
selves to a given period of time; but
when Stead reached his time limit,
naturally he did not stop. He never
does stop. He kept right on for
about five seconds, when DR.. Max
well informed him that his time was
up. That made no difference to
Stead. He was intending to talk in
definitely. But DR.. Maxwell, with a
and vigor which delighted
the whole assemblage, brought the
blatant Englishman down from his
perch of self-complacency, and
actually made him close his mouth
and keep It closed. This one Incl
dent alone would have justified the
whole peace conference. We hereby
offer a very large bouquet TO DR..
He has deserved we'll of
the republic. An eminent English
scientist who attended the confer
ence was asked by an American
friend:
How is II that such a person as
Mr.. Stead is taken seriously in Eng
land?"
The Englishman smiled a little
and then replied:
why, really, you know, II has
always been such a puzzle to us that
he is taken so seriously in America"

What Mechanics Offer To-day.

The bureau of labor finds a de-
cadence of the old time custom OF ap-
premiership. boys no longer being
educated in the trades they are 10
follow, and masters no longer inter
esttng themselves In the education
of those who are To assist and some
time suporsode them In the carrying
on OF their craft. The reasons for
this have been summed up as fall
lows:
First-Produetion on large scale
which destroys tho personal relations
between employer and employed, or
master and apprentice.
SeoOnd-Tho extensive use OF ma
chinery and subdivision OF labor.
Third-The unwillingness of en-
ployers TO take on apprentices.
Fourth-Tho unwillingness of
journeymen to instruct apprentices.
Fifth-The dislike of boys for ap-
premiership.
The apprentice oy9tom may have
disappeared. but something better Is

past three weeks has impressed
MS with the genuine mildness OF
this climate. Oranges, lemons,
bananas and pine-apples can be
grown in the open in Fitzgerald
in fact they are grown here ev'
cry year. Not as a CROP OF
course, but as pet plants.
Mr.. Joel Thomas, the tiorlst'
has on exhibition this week, at

natured medium sized pineapple.
We had known of quite a num-
Der of bannas trees bearing fruit
and some lemons and oranges,
but we did not know until this
week that pine-apples had been
produced here for several years.
With a winter like this and
summers pleasanter than Ohio or
