StR RIVER COAL TRADE.
Astounding Saving CT Cost Over Trans
portation by Rail.
IEro,o
ohio MISSISSIPPI co,

The Ohio Mississippi coal trade,
which persists to-day, is one of the
greatest single movements of cargo in
the world From Pittsburg to New
Orleans is 1000 miles, all downhill
Coal in 1,0e0-ton barges is RATED into
fleets and towed down this distance by
powerful steamboats,, at a cost of less
than rs cents a ton, against a railway
rate of about $3.50; from Pittsburg to
Memphis for 43 cents, against a rail
rate of $2.70. Millions of tons of coal
have gone this way and always will go
this way, because the boats have only
to drift, and those that come back,
mostly empty, are not hard to shove
upstream. In the very week when
North Dakota was suffering most for
lack of fuel, and the railways were un-
able to move cars more than rs miles
day, 100000 tons of fuel went past
Memphis by river on their way to New
Orleans, in 10 large cargoes. Sixty
thousand tons went down in single
than the rail freight would have been
from Pit.sburg to North Dakota. They
vert g 900 miles in three weeks or less,
while a single carload would have taken
so days to cover the distance by rail.
The fleets mostly returned empty, but
one of them carried back sugar and
strip, at a cost of little more than a
mill a ton-mile, and it made the 1000
miles upstream in little more than a
month-at the very time that Christ
mas goods ordered in Chicago in Novem
Der were still blocked by February's
SHOWS in the West. So much advantage
already lies on the side of the river,
comparatively unimproved tho it is.

MISSISSIPPI IMPROVEMENT.
Adequate Bank Protection VIII Save
Millions of Dollars Annually.

(John l.. Mathews in Everybody's.)
The plans that the Inland Waterways
Commission has worked out for pre-
serving the water at the stream head,
for saving out the silt, and for doing
thousand other things that will aid the
navigator will some day be completely
carried out OF these revetment was
the principal and first to be considered.
The Commission, which has charge OF
the stream below Cairo tried many
expedients. some of them of its own
design, some of them copied and en-
.larged from foreign works. Out OF
them all has been developed. special
type of revetment o. bank protection,
consisting of mattresses of willow
brush, woven with galvanized wire ca
bles, and sunk against the bank, where
the current strikes it, by facing OF
rubble-stone. BY this means the en-
gineers are able to hold the Mississippi
rigidiy in its channel, for the current
is thus prevented from eroding the bank,
which is the first step in shifting. And
by holding the current in fixed CHAM
mel the same revetment, aided by mar
rowing bikes from the opposite shore,
makes the river scour the channel deep
and clear in its fixed position. No sim
pier and yet no more entirely success
full apparatus has ever been devised. On
the lower river these mats are of great
size, 800 feet wide and often 1000 feet
long. When the river is completely
reverted, they will cover every bend
into which the current sets-600 miles
in all-hetween Cairo and New Or
leans. And not only will they them
selves be covered with rock. but the
bank above them, sioping back 100 feet,
will also be rock-faced. And all this
viii represent an investment of about
SIS, 900. 600 for the Mississippi below
Cairo. But when it is done. it will pro-
vide not only a clear 14-foot channel
from Cairo down, but in addition a
safe bank for the farmers back of the
river. safe foundations for the levees--
of which we lose annually a million
dollars worth-and it will make valley
land that is now worth $40 an acre
worth $50 or more. Further. it will
recover hundreds of miles of land from
the stream bed.

White Americans on the Is,I,mus.
(From the Canal Record.)

The records of the Department of
Labor, Quarters and Subsistence show
the following white employees in the
service on Feb. 20, 1908: Isthmian
Canal Commission, 5,0S3; Panama Rail-
road, 1891; total, 6,174. There are in
the quarters of the Commission 1875
women and 1867 children, total of
2,314 This gives a grand total of S,516.
White employees are those who are
commonly known as gold employees"
There are about 500 of such employees
of the Commission and of the Panama
Railroad who reside outside of Com
mission quarters almost entirely in
Panama and Colon. These are includ-
ed in the total of 6,174. There are also
about 200 women and 200 children mot
included IN the above figures), who are
in Independent quarters in Colon or
Panama.
The Department estimates that II
per cent ofthe gold employees are aliens.
This estimate, however, applies particu-
larly to the men, and only in a slight
degree to the women and children in
quarters. Deducting this percentage
from the 6,174 white male employees
makes the number of American en-
ployes 5,125, and shows the number of
white Americans. including women and
children on the Isthmus, to be approx
imately 1866

he prefers Whittier, whose sweet and
beautiful lines appeal to him far more
than anything written by the other writ

ney's-own early life and he loves Whit

Locomotives Turn Themselves.
(From the Popular Mechanics

Gasoline engines and electric motors
have taken the place of manual labor
in the operation of changing the direc-
ton of a locomotive on a turnt able.
These mechanical powers have reduced
the cost of operating a turntable by
hand from about SIS per "a hours to
IS for turning 400 locomotives.
Now bright genius has thought of
a method the expense of which is so
small that 1t can hardly be estimated.
1t consists of compressed air motor
placed beneath the turntable and oper-
ated from air furnished by the air.
brake pump on the locomotive being
turned. Connection Is made between
the engine and the motor with piping
and hose. An air pressure of SO pounds
will turn the locomotive, and as the
turning is all done in two minutes the
amount of steam used to work the
pump is too small to reckon.

nounced. Taft still remains in the
Cabinet, but will yield up his portfolio
next Tuesday with the close of the fis-
cal VeaF. After going to Oyster Bay
and coming to Washington to show
Gen. Wright how TO take hold of the
War Department helm Nominee Taft
will reach some decision about who is
to manage his campaign.
The Republican Manager.
There has been a bitter quarrel
among his managers over that impor-
tant matter. EX-Assistant Postmaster
General Frank II. Hitchcock wanted to
be National Chairman. So did Arthur
l. Vorys, who first managed the Taft
campaign for nomination, but who was
gradually displaced by Mr. Hitchcock.
The Secretary has said little about the
matter, altho it is known that he has
had other and more experienced men
in mind for that very important post.
But the Republicans of large political
experience have been unwilling to ac-
cept the place. EX-Gov. Myron T. Her
rick, of Ohio, could have been National
Chairman, but expressed reluctance
about assuming the task. Senator w.
Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, to
whom President Roosevelt offered the
but he. too. did not want it.
These destinations have made it very
difficult for the Secretary to find the
man he would like TO have. He has
been consulting with the best political
talent inside the party for advice on the
question and expects when he returns
to Washington to be able late this week
or early next week to announce his Sc
lection. Mr.. Hitchcock has withdrawn
from the list of aspirants, on the plea
of i'll health, but it is doubtful whether
the Secretary. in any event, would pick
Mr.. Hitchcock if he could find any one
else. He is a capable young man, but
has been too much accustomed to play
ing politics under the protection and
guidance of President Roosevelt to
make a good campaign manager in the
streSSful times which seem to be ahead.
Men who are nominated for the Presi-
dency are averse TO taking any chances
with their campaign managers. There
is too much at stake. even tho an cleo
ton may seem as good as certain. Sea-
soned political veterans, not young men
who have hardly more than won their
spurs in politics, are preferred for such
tasks.
The Presidents Secretary. William
Loeb, Jr., is very anxious to manage
Secretary Tafts campaign. His friend
ship with many newspaper correspond
ents, who feel kindly toward him, has
enabled him to put out numerous in
spired articles about his availability for
the work. The Secretary may eventual
ly pick Mr.. Loeb, of whose political sa-
gacity he thinks very highly, but there
is nothing yet to indicate it.

A GRIEVOUS WRONG.

The Hamilton Herald raises a
question with Governor Campbell
that he can not ignore without ac-
knowleging either incompetency or
Indifference to great public wrong.
According to the Herald many
counties in the state are wholly ig-
noring the law as to full rendition
of property for taxation. while other
counties are complying with the law
in both letter and spirit.
Does Governor Campbell stand
for that sort of thing? Is he going
to take for the support of govern
ment forty per cent more on valua-
ton from the people in one county
than he takes from the people in
an adjoining county?
1t may be urged that the enforce
ment of the law is with the people
of the several counties. Then we
commit an act of injustice in pass
ing the law; we should have left the
matter where it was already
The Hamilton brother is right;
the governor should get busy and
correct this grievous wrong.
