First Cantaiever Hridoe.

The first cantaiever railroad bridge is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It is nearly one and half miles in length. Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in its construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $1G.- 100000 and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection it was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion oi the bolts that were to complete the span. For time this was puzzle. but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and it was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

AGRICULTURAL CENSUS.
TSpeciaI to The Sentinell l


Washington, ID. c., Sept. 2.-The
farmers of the United States are nat
urally very much Interested in the
census of agriculture and farms that
will be taken April Is, 1910, as one
OF the subjects to be covered by the
Thirteenth Decennial Census Many
are showing their interest by writing
to the Census Bureau for the purpose
OF making comments upon census in
formation regarding agriculture as
presented in the past. The director of
the census welcomes all such sugges-
lions and gives them careful consid-
Grafton, as he is anxious to have the
results of the coming census CORES
pond as nearly as may be to the de-
sires of the people most interested.
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has
on his own initiative requested GER
tain professors of economics and agri-
culture of the more important uni
versities of the country. and other
persons who have specialized in agri-
cultural matters, TO come TO Washing
ton for a short time for the purpose
of studying carefully and criticising
plans now under way. Especially is
II desired TO obtain their opinion rela-
tive to the questions to be asked and
their form. as the results TO be OBJ
tanned will so largely depend upon
the character of the schedule and the
manner in which the questions are
propounded. These suggestions. com
ing from outside experts, are proving
to be of great value, and il is be-
lieved that in consequence of this
preliminary study more valuable and
accurate data will be obtained than
could otherwise be secured. After
these special students and experts
have made their preliminary studies,
formal conferences are held in the
office in which the whole matter of
the character of the schedules and
the best methods of securing the in
formation are thoroughly gone over.
The department is also seeking to
secure the advice and cooperation, as
far as possible. of the officers and ex-
perts of the Department of Agricul-
ture, of the state agricultural col
leges, farmers societies and like or
ganizations.

WARDEN LIKES THE WORK.
Especial to The sentinel. ]

Denver. Sept. 2.-It is always an
enjoyable treat TO spend half hour
in conversation with anyone who is
enthusiastic over a given work, and
that is the reason why it is always
an enjoyable time when Warden
lyman of the penitentiary comes to
the state house. Mr.. lyman may have
been a salesman before he took
charge of Colorado's boarders down
at Canon City. but he is full fledged
prison man at this time. He is as
enthusiastic over his work as a new
minister in "A growing charge
I'VE have $50 men outside the
walls working on the farms and the
road work." said lyman in speaking
of his prisoners.
I'VE have only about 400 inside e
the walls, a pretty good showing,
don't you think? And every man
outside is on his honor and is not
under guard. We are parking and
paving in front of the building and
are putting cement floors in all the
cell houses. In addition to this we
are opening twenty acres of the pris-
on tract TO cultivation.
I'VE have men working in several
counties in the state. Since as
SuHeu tldTSt, we nave lOsl ten men,
captured seven of them and have two
more located, leaving a net loss of
one. consider the outside work
the best thing for the prisoners that
could possibly be given them 1t
goes long way toward making men
out of them. When you think of
one-half of the prisoners being on the
outside and not under guard. simply
on their honor. 1t is something mary
elous. In that number are four men
serving life sentences"
Mr.. lyman stated that the new
hospital would be completed in a
short time and that solid glass
room was being constructed in which
the tuberculosis patients would be
housed.
In discussing the furnishing of the
men with transportation and clothing
when they are paroled, Mr.. lyman
expressed himself as against it, He
stated that it was not fair TO put the
people of the state to this expense as
there was always a Likelihood of the
prisoner being sent back and that if
he was paroled and then sent back,
the expense of the transportation and
clothing was lost.
