IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION is
MADE BY LAND COMMISSIONER

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.---In his an.
nual report for the last fiscal year Com
missioner Fred Bennett Of the general
land Office recommends the withdrawal
from entry of all public lands which
may be irrigated which arc not now ca
pable of being utilized for homes. On
that point nc says:
t'The proper step to take would be
10 classify the lands of the United
States in order to ascertain what public
lands, which IN their present condition
are incapable of afording home, arc
susceptible of irrigation at a cost even
much greater than that now entertained
by the reclamation service, and TO with
draw these lands from entry awaiting
the time when they can by irrigation
be made homes. either under the United
States government or under the Carey
act, II will be ouly a comparatively
few years before an irrigation project
which will cost as high as 5000 an acre

ture No one can be burt by such J.

recommended that suits be brought on
timber land claims aggregating $377,-
$40. ''Tbere were secured, be added,

the previous year of $l.162.53
The total area of land originally en-

Castleman walked away in the
direction Of the house. and the
negro followed him into the yard
and there attacked him with a

on the front of his body, on the
arms, and then making a lunee at
his back. The knife struck the

For DuStleSS Roads.


Uniquely interesting are a num-
Der of the experiments now being
conducted by the Office of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture; one being the
effort to build a dustproof road by
combining the heretofore little used
blast furnace Stag, with asphalt or
tar.
This endeavor is of the utmost
economic importance, because if
the hoped-for success is attained.
unsightly mountains of Stag will
soon disapper from the vicinity of
scores of cities. and ready market
will have been established for vast
quantities of this material.
For several years the scientists
In the Office of Public Roads. as
well as in many of the more pro-
gressive States, have been working
to achieve two great objects, viz.
the utilization of by-products in
road building and the development
of dustless roads. Experiments
already conducted indicate that
crushed rock combined with tar or
asphalt preparations bid fair to
solve In measure the dustless
road problem. Exhaustive labora-
tory tests have indicated that Stag
IN combination with preparations
of tar or asphalt may be made to
serve as n substitute for crushed
rock. Sections of experimental
road are now being constructed
which will subject the materials to
actual service test. If the results
are as satisfactory as the prelimi-
nary conditions indicate, the Stag
asphalt or slag-tar roads will real
ize the hope of the scientists for
both the utilization of by-products
and the attainment of dustless
road. One of these experimental
stretches of road is now in course
of constitution at Chicago, under
the supervision of Chief Engineer
Vernon NJ. Pierce, of the Federal
Bureau, and one at Birmingham,
Alabama, under the direction of
Mr.. b. f. Heidel, First Assistant
Engineer.
The road at Chicago will be of
Stag and asphalt; that at Birminq
ham Of Stag and tar. The greatest
skill and care will he used in putt
ing down these short stretches and
they will then be carefully OBJ
served during the trying months
OF winter. If in the spring it las
been established that this class Of
road remains firm, does nus rut.
sheds water and makes but little
dust, a vast step forward will have
been created for blast furnace
waste.
Besides this activity in Stag ex-
periments, the Public Roads Office
is also busy at Newton, Massachu-
sets, with special asphal prepar-
alton, never before tried, which
the Director and his lieutenants
hope may prove efficacious as
dust binding surface material.
More unique than this, however,
the Office is preparing at the same
place to lay stretch of what
