ENGINEERS ACCUSED OF BIAS
Senator Teller Says They Were Inhu-

Colorado Statesmau Gives Farewell
AdmOnifion 10 His Colleagues
Concerning the Waterway.

Senator Teller consumed nearly an hour
in the Senate yesterday afternoon in a
farewell admonitiOn to his colleagues
concerning the Panama Canal
he made the statement that the PTesi-
dent had adhered 70 the lock type OF
canal in disregard OF the advice OF the
best engineers Of the country.
He made the charge that every one Of
the engineers who were sent 70 the Canal
Zone recently with Mr.. Taft were
sounded n advance and their views as
certained. and that they would not have
been selected had Il not been known that
they were favorable to the lock type

by Senator Kittredge. OF South Dakota.
who sat near him. and who interposed
the suggestion that the location OF the
Gstun lock had been changed eleven
times since IL was originally projected
Mr.. Teller predicted that the expense OF
the lock type OF canal would be greater
IN the end than the sum necessary to
have constructed a sea-sevel canal.
He predicted that the cost Of the pro
jeCt would be astounding. and that when
the waterway was completed Il would be
wholly inadequate in the matter Of the
width Of the locks and SO insecure that

Senator Bailey has been trying 10 have
his measure passed before adjournment
tomorrow in order that the President.
through his executive chiefs, might be
rebuked for ''insOlerce to the Senate in

matter went over until to-day, when a

This plan is the result Of a flank move

gress. that he had taken snap Judgment
On the Senatorial fledgings BY keeping
them out Of their assignments until fail.
In the same breath It was claimed that
Mr. Aidrich desired to dominate the
Finance Committee with the present or
ganization OF that important committee
while the new tariff bin was under con-
siderati0l.
II is now asserted that the Senator has
given assurance to the younger men n

the present members viii be put out OF

Cement on the Farm.

With the wonderful development
of the Portland cement industry dur
ing the past fifteen years comes one
of the most ideal building materials
ever acknowledgements. This is the
beginning of the 'Cement Age.
The price of lumber is advancing
to almost prohibitive figures; 1T is
therefore natural that a substitute
material with the advantages OF mod
crate cost. durability and beauty
should be developed and looked upon
with favor.
Today, cement can be successfully
used on the farm in the place of wood
in the constructor of floors. tronghs,
cutters tanks, bitches, dams, walks,
posts, building blocks, etc.
Cement. Use nothing but the best
cement that can be obtained. IL
should be in a fine, powdery condl-
ton and contain no Jumps. Cement
should be stored in a dry place, as
dampness is an element of great dan
ger.
Sand. The sand used should be
clean, sharp, and not too fine. it
should be free from loam or clay, as
these Will tend to destroy the adj
hesive quality and to retard the
setting of the cement. Clay mixed
with the sand may be removed, to
some extent by washing.
In estimating the amount of ma
terial necessary for certain con-
struction, do not make the mistake
of thinking that a mixture Of l bar
rel of cement, 2l9 barrels of loose
sand, and five barrels Of gravel or
broken stone will make 81 barrels of
concrete. The sands will fill the
voids between the gravel or broken
stone, and the cement fills the voids
between the grains of sand. The
total amount of concrete will be but
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-12-15
slightly more than the amount of
gravel or broken stone used.

slightly more than the amount of
gravel or broken stone used.
To make one cubic yard of concrete
OF the following proportion part
cement, 2h parts sand, and parts
gravel requires about Ia barrels of
cement u sacks), 81 barrels of sand,
and 615 barrels of gravel
Mixing Be very careful in measur-
ing the proportions. Mix the concrete
as near the place it is to be used as
possible. Use as soon as mixed Do
not mix more than can be used in 20
minutes.
Measure the sand first, and spread
it in an even layer in mixing box;
spread the cement on top and turn it
with shovel at least three times.
Then add the broken stone or gravel
which has previously been wet, and
turn the whole at least three times.
Begin to add the water on the second
tuning, not too much at once. A
sprinkling pot is better than a hose
for adding the water, as it does not
wash away the cement.
Concrete work should be avoided in
freezing weather, as frost damages it.
Where it is absolutely necessary to
do work at this time, a small amount
of salt added to the water will pre-
vent freezing; this does not damage
the concrete where used in small
quantities.
An objection is sometimes raised
that concrete doors and walks are too
smooth and become slippery when
wet. This fault il largely due to the
fact that the finishing surface was
completed with a steel smoothing
trowel instead of a wooden trowel,
smoothing board, or straight edge,
which would have left the surface
rough. This fault is also overcome,
in great meas1r by dividing the
wearing surface into small squares
about four inches on each side, by
