tabulation, gives the comparative
value Of different pavements and
shows the cheapness in first cost In
New York city, where the wood is
more costly than in Lewiston, that
of brick is per cent, while wood
Is only 40 per cent. Durability of
brick is given at 1875 per cent, and
wood IA per cent, or rs per cent
cheaper and 1.5 per cent more dura-
BILE than brick. Thus It can be seen
by this report. which is almost iden-a
tical to many other equally respon-
sib'e tests, why our committee re-
ported favorably on treated wood
block pavements. b.
A further proof of the durability
of wood block pavements is shown
iii the test at Baltimore, Md, where
IN 1901 several streets Of expert
mental pavements were laid. includ-
ing sheet asphalt. creosoted wood.
and several kinds of brick. After
FIVE years OF service and after pass
ing through the great fire. the wood
was in better shape than all others.
Most interesting is the t0t made
in Chicago in front of the Audi
forum hotel on Michigan avenue,
where eight years ago an area Of
asphale blocks were laid and adjoin-
ing this was an area OF creosOted
wood blocks. and after five years the
no ho IN hn nd
placed with wood. The asphalt in
five years had worn down one inch
and very unevenly, while the wood
blocks were in a perfect condition.
having worn down only u Of an
inch, and the surface was still per-
fectly smooth and of even grade.
| I could continue at great length
and cite many instances Of the sue
cess of modern wood block pave
ments, which, as ! have stated be-
fore, were convincing proof to our
committee of the superiority OF
treated wood blocks over all other
ferns of street paving.
While 1t is not denied that several
failures OF treated wood block pave
ment had resulted. It has invariably
been due to an inferior quality OF
sap wood. But these failures, sc
far as I could learn, have never
been SO great, proportionately. as
! with brick or any other forms OF
| having materials. Respectfully
yours, f. c. MASON.

pavement, wood blocks, under mod
ern treatment would last equally as
long, if not longer. It was also our
belief which was prompted solely
from the opinions of experts, that
our native woods were equal If not
superior to any other varieties which
and. that If the native woods were
used. not only would there be an
immense saving in the gross cost of
materials, but also an item Of
about $4,000 In freight alone
would be saved.
We concluded only after careful
elaboration, that II wood blocks
were used, we would have a pave
ment equal to the best in the world,
besides the crater portion Of the
money appropriated for construc-
ton would remain with our people,
thereby eliminating what would
otherwise be heavy burden on the
pocketbooks of 141 people who must
pay for the paving.
To convince the public that our
committees conclusion to recon-
mend wood block was q most logical
and sensible one, I will quote from
the report Of the United States for
estry service test of wood block
pavement, which is unquestionably
both responsible and authentic. In
PRODUCING the subject. the report
says:
"For more than 20 years wood
has been used for street paving. In
the beginning. however, incomplete
knowledge and wrong methods led
to failure, and 1t is only within the
last 10 years. or since the introduce
ton OF the present creosoted long
leaf pine block. that wooden pave
ments have been laid with greater
success. Wood has many qualities
which especially adapt it for paw
ing, and, with better knowledge
of the fitness of woods other than
those now used. and of the effect OF
personalities upon durability. 1t is
almost certain that its use for this
purnose will steadily increase
Continuing, the report shows thai
the first treated wood blocks were
used in Galveston, Tex, in 1878
and in spite Of being laid on sand
foundation gave satisfactory service
for nearly 30 years, and was de-
stroyed only by the great flood OF
1900. But this good beginning
was followed up. and only within
the last 10 years has the matter re-
ceiyed systematic attention In this
country. There were in service II
the United States on December 81
about 100000 square yards
OF creosoted wood block pavement

It is little use for the local editor
to waste his lungs and sprain his
spine in trying to boom town
when the citizens all stand around
and indifferently wait for some
thing to turn up. If the capitalists
or business men do not put their
shoulders to the wheel and do a
little boosting it is useless for the
editor to try and boom things. He
can write boom" articles until he
gets bald headed, but if the citi-
zens themselves do not take hold
and push, the town will forever
stick in the mud.
Of what use is it for the local
paper to suggest improvements and
new enterprises if the suggestions
are never acted upon? One man
cannot boom town. 1t requires
the concerted action of the citizens.
When one man shoulders a town
and attempts to carry it, there are
always a lot of cranky kickers
ready to jump OH top of the load.
Unity of action is what knocks.

THE EAST DOES NOT LOOK
GOOD TO Mr.. FRANCIS
He Thinks More Of Kittitas Than
Ever Before

w. 7. Francis and son Loren
returned Saturday morning from
Winterset, Iowa, where he went
with the remains of his mother for
burial. Mr.. Francis says: The
farmers of Iowa are really not as
prosperous as they seem. Many
of them are paying interest OIL the
same old debts mortgages that
they were fifteen years ago. Oc-
casionally one has paid, but as a
rule they had to sell their farm in
order to do SO. The country is
not prosperous and the farms are not
kept up to the high standard that
one would suppose. Men and
women of about my age, old chuns,
look old, and their locks are as
gray as ones ought to be at o5,
they are stopped shouldered and
appear to be old men and women.
The constant strain and worry of
debt and light crops and unproht
able prices, has undoubtedly had
the effect of making this decline.
Hundreds of people there would
gladly come west and get a new
lease Oh life if they could, but it
seems impossible. .
