For Good Roads.

A move has been made in the Legis-

policy urged by Gov. crothers. by the in
PRODUCTION of resolution authorizing the
appointment Of committee of three from
the Senate and Eve from the House to
confer with the Governor on the subject,
as TO bis ideas Of road improvement.
Governor Crothers states he does not
advocate the repeal of the Shoemaker
Road law, but in addition favors bond
issue for considerable amount for i'm
proved road purposes. The piecemeal
improvement should stop and system
attic end comprehensive plan, backed by
the State, adopted. The Governor de.
clares the Shoemaker law is all right, in
many ways. but should be supplemented
in such way as to make the road i'm
provement more far-reachiug and ex-
tensive.

been sent over by the French govern
ment 10 investigate the recent series oF
mine disasters IN the coal region with a
view TO comparing them with the French
mines and seeing what there was to be
done to render the French mines safer.
It may be said that the French coal mines
from the Viewpoint of an expert are much
more dangerous than the American. The
workings are more unsafe aud there is
greater danger from dust and gas At
the same time the French mines kill only
about one man to three in this country.
This is because of the mores stringent
safety regulations and the fact that the
regulations are enforced.
The two Frenchmen came to Washing
ton to talk with the officials of the Geo.
logical Survey where plans are being
mapped out for more effective mine super
vision. They had visited the scenes of
the great disasters at Manougah, Naomi
aud Jacobs Creek. They said frankly that
they had come to no conclusion as to the
cause of the three big explosions. but said
at The same time that the mining regu-
lations in this country are criminally lax
as compared with those Of France. If
we had the French regulations enforced
with the same thoroughness, they say
that the American mines would be the
safest in the world.

FENCE posts MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Years Ad-
dltional Service BY Pre-
sentative Treatment.

Fence posts of many kinds of cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon decay
if set in the ground can be made to last
for twenty years by simple treatment
with creosote. Most of the so-called
.'inferior' woods are we'll adapted to the
treatment, and this is especially true of
cottonwood, aspen, willow, sycamore,
low-g grade pines, and some of the gums
When properly treated, these woods out
last untreated cedar and oak, which are
becoming too scarce and too much in
demand for other uses to allow of their
meeting the demand for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduction of
the ''open tank, /" which can be Installed
at cost of $50 to $45. or much less if au
old boiler is used. A tank with bottom
IL square feet in area will suffice for
treating 40 or so 6.ineh posts day, or
double this number when two runs per
day can be made. The absorption of
creosote per post is about as follows !:
Eucalyptus, one.tenth gallon; willow,
two-tenths gallon; sassafras, ash, hickory.
red oak, water oak, elm. and maple, four
tenths gallon; Douglas fir, quaking aspen,
and black walnut, six tenths gallon;
sycamore, cottonwood, and lodgepole
pine, seven enths gallon. The price Of
creosote is about 10 cents per gallon in the
East and Middle West, rs cents per gal
lon OIL the Pacific coast, and ~ cents per
gallon in the Rocky Mountain States.
The cost of treating a post will therefore
vary from a to IS cents. Properly treated.
it should give service Tor at least twenty
years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preservative treatment the
durability of lodgepole pine in Idaho is
increased sixteen years. Through pre-.
sentative treatment other woods are fitted
to take the place of cedar, of which the
supply is rapidly becoming exhausted. A
detailed description of experiments in
preserving fence posts, together with
practical suggestions for treating them on
4 commercial scale, are contained Ia Cir
cular III of the Forest Service. This
publication can be obtained upon appli-
cation TO the Forester at Washington.

Congressman Cochran, of New York
recently made speech at New Rochelle,
N. Y in which he made the emphatic
statement that Five men control all the
important industries and agencies OF
transportation in the United States. i"
mot merely do they control these agen-
cies," said Mr.. Cochran. who is multi
millionaire, and who up to this time has
been considered one of the big guns in
financial circles, "but by the influence
which this control gives them they have
come to dominate our financial institu.
tons, our leading banks aud trust
companies. !"
Winding up his speech the congress
man declared that this gigantic industrial
autocracy completely dominates the
federal government aud that il is much
stronger than any government which
ever existed"
Mr.. Cochran is democrat. Side by
side with these declarations may be
placed similar statements made by Sen.
ator LaFollette, of Wisconsin. LaFol-
lette is republican.
Where does the government by the
people, of the people and for the people
come-in during this era of So called "high
finance" and trusts?

the same banks had $4,000. 900 less in

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Just the minute Congress has chance
at it, the Panama Canal comes up for dis
cussion. Now they are trying to reopen
the whole question Of lock or sealevel
canal as though that question had not
been thoroughly threshed out and settled.
1t is said now that the Canal is going to
cost $I5o, 900, 600 more than the original
estimate and that was $r35. 900, 900.
That it will cost more than the estimate,
is pretty well assured. How much more
it will cost is beyond the possibility Of
settlement just now. 1t probably will
total in the neighborhood of $500. 900, 900,
But it is generally admitted that even if
it costs that or more it will have been a
good investment from financial point OF
view to say nothing gilmore than halving
the distance from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast and reducing the needs of
the Navy proportionately.
The amount already expended on the
canal has been large-larger than it was
thought possible in such short time.
The exact amount is $79 sos. 900. BY the
end of the present fiscal year there will
have been $1,000, 900 added to this and
the appropriation for the next fiscal year
will be about $33, 1000, 900. 1t must be
understood, however, that much of the
money already expended has been for
plant and sanitation and that the expen-
ditnre along these lines in the future will
be much smaller. 1t must also be re.
membered that while this large amount
Of money has been spent there is some
thing to show for it. The canal is much
further advanced than was thought pos.
sible two years ago. The Isthmus has
been made as habitable for white men as
any part of the United States and the
whole work is in sAchs shape that there
can be no possible thought of ultimate
failure. Former Senator Joe Blackburn
who has just come back from eight
months on the Isthmus is enthusiastic
over the situation.
The question that the opponents of the
canal are trying to raise now is that Of
the Gatun Dam 1t is still claimed that
no rock foundation has ever been found
for it and that without one it is i'm
possible to build it. Thus it is claimed
that the question ofa sea level canal must
be taken up. Just TO show how unreason-
able this is. it may be said that the Gatun
Dam wili-he mile and half long and
half mile wide. 1t would take vivid
Imagination to picture such mass as this
sinking into the earth even if it has no
foundation but dirt under it. As mat
ter of fact the Reclamation Service is
building similar dam of considerably
smaller dimensions than this and under
more adverse conditions on the North
Platte and not only has the work never
been discussed in the east but it has occu-
pied the attention of some of the best
engineers in the country and there has
never been the slightest thought Of
failure.

There promises to be stubborn fight
over currency legislation, just as was out
lined at the beginning of the session and
possibly the result will be no legislation
at all, just what Speaker Cannon and
number Of other House and Senate lead.
ers have been hoping. The leading
measure that has been put forward so far
is the so called Aldrich bill, providing for
not mere than $3.50, ooo, 900 worth of bank
note circulation based on state, municipal
aud railroad bonds. These notes are to
be subject to tax of half of one per cent
a month so long as they are outstanding.
This scheme is pronounced by some of
the financial leaders to be an ameteurish
makeshift. Chairman Fowler of the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
reucy is much opposed to the plan and
facors the establishment of a central bank
of issue somewhat similar to the imperial
banks of the continent. He would have
it located in Chicago as being nearer the
geographical centre of the country and
being in position better TO meet the de-
mands of the middle and far west and
tending to divorce the money control of
the country from New York where it y
well known all the relief furnished in the
various panics has been carefully locked
up till New York was we'll on its financial
feet irrespective of what the rest of the
country needed or wanted. There will
be fight against the Aldrich bill both in
the committee and on the floor of the
House and Senate The West and South
is lining up against it and there will be a
lot of talk which is equivalent to delay.
