letter to Taft, take a strong position.
Tell him that the President had no
great difficulty in making a place for
Wynne; that he promptly took care
Of Corcell; and that you notice that
Murphy, Bryan Democrat, was nice
~ provided for after the Commission
was reorganized.
l would not hesitate to call his at
tention to the fact that you stood
by the administration whenever it
needed help, and that you expect
ed to continue to do so and that
you felt that you expected to contin-
ue to do so, and that you felt that
you had right to ask that your
friend that had rendered the SER
vice to the Presidents administra-
ton that had, be recognized in a
desirable manner. The President was
Initiated at you sending him that
clipping. 1t confirmed the predic-
ton that you and l both made to
him last winter, and he smarts un-
der it. The only way to get anything
from Roosevelt is to keep at it dog
gedly and persfstently. Foraker CTS
things because he never let's him rest
until he gets it. He complains ca
loleS and flatters.
In writing Taft you can tell him
that you will guarantee the longer
and better he knows me the better
he will like me, and l will see that
your prediction is verified; that if
he will make this appointment, and
after | have served six months, if he
Is not satisfied that you will see
that resign without the slightest
embarrassment to him.
Am sorry to trouble you, but this
appointment l think would serve a
good purpose now coming as it would
Just after have filed my report. You
might state to him that you are so
much interested that you will come
to Washington If necessary, though it
would be a great inconvenience to
you now since you are preparing to
go with him to the Philippines to be
gone three months l will write viii
White as you suggest Sorry that
/ should have to trouble you about tn
matter. When l get into the Senate
will help you with some of your trou-
bles, and when it is necessary to
raise the ID, and a few other things
at the White House, you can always
that job on me. I would like to 20

Sand-Clay Roads

w. II. opOOn, engineer Oh Jne VI
flee of Public Roads of the United
States Dept. of Agriculture, wno
Is one of the nations acknowledged
experts in the sand-clay road con-
struction, has been ordered to the
southeastern part of Kansas to make
a study of conditions and to introduc
sandclay roads.
For the many years the Federal OF
flee of Public Roads has been study
Ing this method of road construction
and in sections where sand and clay
Is plentiful and rock is scarce, the
results have been most gratifying. In
many Of the southern States many
miles of formerly impossible mud
roads have been redeemed by the
Dlending OF sand and clay, and the
benefits have been important and i'm
mediate.
In tn prairie States the worth OF
the sandclay road has never been
thoroughly proven, and the prospec-
i've visit OF MI. spoon is expected to
DE Of the utmost importance, as his
instructions are to ploceeu INST to
Garden City ana then to Dodge City
andto make al exhaustive STUDY AMI
prepare a complete report To The Oh
rlclaS of the counties in which
those cities are located.
Early in the summer, Mr.. Spoon
QUILT a stretch OF this type OF ROAD
at Englewood, Kansas, and recent re
ports from that pace are to the eft.
rect mat the road has proven a q cal
success ana that the county autnori-
lies are deeply grabbed with the
outcome OF what, to some, was an
experiment.
Engineer George L. Cooley, also of
the Office Of Public Roads, who has
recently been doing some model ROAD
building in California, will join Mr..
spoon at Garden City.
1t is probable that after conferr-
-ng with Mr.. Spoon, Mr.. Cooley will
proceed to Independence, Kansas,
where some experimental road work
with Kansas oil has been under way
for some time.
This activity makes a good shown
for Kansas and proves a wide awak-
ening IN the State to the importance
roads over which those who drive for
pleasure may proceed in comfort
while those who use the roads to haul
the products Of the farm to market,
may do so cheaply.

CATARACT REMOVED.
In This Instance the Patient Is
 a Rhinoceros.

New York, May 30-Fifteen New York veterinarians have discovered that the dose of anaesthetics required to put rhinoceros to sleep is a pound and three-quarters of chloroform and half pound of ether This discovery was made during an operation to re- move cataracts in the eyes of Mogul, the Indian rhinoceros in the Bronx zoo. Mogul, after succumbing to more than half a gallon of the anaesthetic. remained under its influence an hour. and at the end of that time began to crunch hay as though nothing had hap- pened
 Through blow on the head in his native jungle Mogul nearly lost the sight of both eyes, and the operation was agreed upon after careful exam nation. The big problem was to tell how much anaesthetic it was safe to give. By means of derrick and har. ness Mogul was thrown. A roll of cotton batting stuffed in a cone of brown paper was used to administer the anaesthetic. Before the rhinoc- eros was put to sleep the fumes nearly overcame the doctors and keepers. The operation consumed half an hour. It will take a month to tell if 1t was successful.

Springfield, O., May 30.-Orville Wright of Dayton, just home from Kill Devil, N. C., where the famous broth CTS have been conducting experiments with their aeroplane, gave out the first authorized statement covering the result of the brothers latest exper- iment.
 Asked when he would deliver the flyer to the United States government, he said:
 We have until Sept, 2S, but we are ready now. There is an ambiguous paragraph in the specifications con- cerning the methods of determining speed, and we are seeking to have that altered, or clearly defined"
 "Wher will the government test be made?"
 T presume it will be at Fort Meyer. We are to furnish flying machine that will carry tow persons, and at a speed of forty miles an hour in still atmosphere. We have the machine to fill that bill. The test is to be a flight of one hour In a dead calm our present machine will cover the distance in the time named. Going with a wind that blows at the rate of five miles an hour or more the veloci- ty of the wind may be added to the velocity of the flyer. Going against the wind, its velocity must be sub tracted from the speed of the flyer"
 Are you making new machines?"
 Several of them. Those we are making are practically duplicates of the one used at Huffman's Prairie and Kill Devil hill"
