SCRANTON TO MOBILE.
Letter Received From Congressman
Bowers as to the Speedway.

A press dispatch from Pascagouia
dated April 20. says: The second
meeting of the Interstate Roads Con-
gress will be held at Mobile on the
2Sth instant at IL o'clock, when steps
will be taken to build a speedway be-
tween Scranton and Mobile. The fol-
lowing self-explanatory letter was re-
ceived today by Secretary Martin
Turnbull from Congressman Eaton ].
Bowers:
Il called at the good roads bureau
this morning in response to your re-
quest, with the result that the direc-
tor has promised to send a govern
ment engineer down to give instruc-
tions in roadmaking and to supervise
the construction of some road, early
in the fall. AS You, perhaps, under
stand, these experts are used in the
North in ths sumper and in the,
South in the winter and he says he
will give us a man as early in the
fall as possible and suggests that our
people indicate just when they would
like him, so they can make arrange
ments accordingly.
Inasmuch as they have encountered
some difficulty, growing out of a con-
flict of jurisdiction in some places
and because they have no right to
construct public roads in any state
or county except upon the invitation
of the proper authorities, they have
provided blank application, which
should be executed by the proper au-
thorities Of the county, the board Of
supervisors, and | enclose you one OF
these blanks, which please have prop
erly executed and return to me, and
we will get the matter moving.
with best wishes, / am,
Very truly yours.
E. BOWERS.
Washington, D. c., April II, 1909.
The foregoing communication from
Congressman Bowers clearly shows
that the Federal government is in
accord with the progressive move
ment going on in the South to aid in
the improvement of the highways OF
thio section.

know why New Orleans would not

the reason.

Finioned beneath an elevator cable
drum on the top floor of the ten
story Perrin building, in New Orleans
on tuesday, Sylvester Even, assist
ant engineer of the building, calmly
directed efforts for his extrication
during the two hours which passed
before his rescue. 1t was thought
that his life was being crushed out
and a r1iest administered absolution
while the imprisoned man lay in
agony and as the efforts to liberate
him proceeded. Even's wounds were
not as serious as was at first feared,
and it is believed he will recover.

Rubber Weed Causes Sheepmen of the South west Heavy Losses.

For several years past the sheep men of the southwest have suf fered serious losses from a dis, ease know among the Mexican herders as "pingue."
 "Pingue" popularly supposed to be caused by eating either the leaves or roots of a plant which has in the last few years been quite prominent in the public eye as the "rubber plant" or rubber weed"
 Whether this plant is a true rubber plant or not is matter which does not interest the sheep men so much as some remedy for the sickness that follows it's eat ing by their sheep. On the Car son National Forest in New Mex leo, Forest Ranger Bert Phillips, in whose district a great many sheep had recently died from pin- que, after making study of the sickness, suggested to the sheep men whose animals wore dying with it, that drenches of hot wa ter and salt might prove effica- ciOuS.
 The materials for the remedy were sO quickly obtained and so easily administered, that sev- eral of the owners gave the plan a trail The sick sheep were drenched every hour with liberal doses of the mixture with the result that animals which before drenching were unable to stand, were, inside oftwenty-fOur hours, eating and running around with the rest of the herd apparently as well as ever.
 While the government experts have not yet made a study of th1s disease or given the Sugges- ted remedy official sanction, the remedy itself is so apparently harmless and unObiectional, that considering the results obtained by its use, there seems to be no possible danger in giving it full publicity. The sheepmen can, in this manner, give 1t more extend ed trials and possibly save them selves from the serious losses which the eating of this weed by stock has heretofore caused.
 The disease will be carefully studied and the results of admin istering this remedy watched with a view to correcting any errors in it's use should 1t not prove of as great value as is ex- pocted. Meantime, every sheep man whoce sheep are sick CT dy- ing from pingue will, no doubt, be only to eager to give this sim pie remedy of hot water and salt drenches, every hour, a good trial. because the annual losses have been serious ones for the flock
