REIGN WILL Be SHORT
Plans Are Already on Foot to
Make Portugal a Re-
public.
FORCES ARE GATHERING.

Lisbon, Feb. 26.--Whether or not a
republic is soon TO supplant the mon
archy in Portugal it is practically the
unanimous opinion here that the near
future will witness Il violent political
struggle, in which the life Of the mon
archy may be the stake. The compar-
alive tranquility since the assassin
atoms is simply d breathing spell in
which the forces Of the monarchy on
the one hand and popular government
on the other are being marshaled for
the coming fray, the battlefield OF
which will be Lisbon. The masses Of
the people in the country are ignorant,
and have hitherto been entirely in
different to the political battles which
have convulsed the capital. Lisbon,
for political purposes, is Portugal, and
the republicans are confident that the
influence Of the capital which they
assert is almost unanimously republi-
can. will sound the knell of the mon
archy.
Since the assassnations of King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz. the re-
publicans have been Joined by the dis
sident progre ssivists. and they intend
to make their campaign for change

For a Sewage System

y. p. Wheelock, who has been
making surveys and plans for a sew
erage system for the city for the
past few weeks, has finished his
work and submitted the plans and
cost to the city council at a special
meeting of that body held last Fri
day evening. Mr. Wheelock representa-
the W. X. Palmer Engineering Co of
Kansas City, and is well qualified
for the work he was engaged to do.
The plans cover the main part of
the city, including nearly all but
the outlying portions, and recon-
mead buildign two trunk lines through
the city, following for the most part
the present city ditch. These to
connect with a septic tank where
the bitches converge, which tank
pufifies the water to a condition of
about 95 per cent pure and then drail
1t to the river.
The city is then divided into three
sewerage districts, with laterals cov-
ering most of the business and res
ident property, emptying into the
trunk lines.
The estimated cost of building the
trunk lines and septic tank is s29,-
755. And on the plans laid down by
the engineer it would cost. about
SAT, S1S to build the laterals as
drawn up or about $50 for each 50
feet lot in the sewerage districts.
The plans discussed by the coun-
Gil for building this system are to
make bond issue covering the
amount necessary to build the trunk
Lines, and let the property owners in
the districts laid out pay for the lat
erals.
The matter will come up before
the commercial club for further dis
cussion, and it will be put up to the
citizens for some decision probably,
Those who are interested in this
question should look the matter up
and be In a position to think and
&. talk intelligibly on the question. 1t
seems to be the general sentiment
that a sewerage system Is needed an

ASout Sand.Clav Roads

The Telegram has just recei1 ed
from the Department Of Agriculture
farmers bulletin No. 81, sand-clay
and burnt-clay roads, and it is a
most interesting document. Anyo.e
interested can have 1t to look over.
This bulletin has one paragraph in
the pgoenin that is good. 1t says:
1T may safely be said that the
construction Of sand-clay roads in
the Southern states has passed the
experimental stage. 1t has been
proved that they are well adapted for
light traffic, and are less noisy, less
dusty, and more resilient than the
average macadam road. Even under
heavy traffic they have proved to a
great extent satisfactory. There are
sand-clay roads in the South Atlantic
and Gulf states over which heavy
loads of cotton and other farm pro-
ducts are hauled throughout the
year, with little resulting damage.
when the cheapnesS of this kind
Of construction is considered, it viii
he seen that for certain localities
at least, it is preferable to macadam
In all cases a mixture of sand and
clay is better than either material,
alone"

road-and that will be soon-will YOU
