CONSIDERING TRAP ROCK

In speaking of State Highway Com
missioner Ely's plan for cheaper road
material The Detroit Evening News
of November 22d, said:
The plan OF State Highway Com
missioner Ely, to have the common
wealth engage i'll the stone breaking
business, should not be COMPOUNDED
with the scheme of former Commits
sioner Earle to have Michigan erect
a new state prison devoted entirely to
stone breaking Mr.. Ely and his dep
uty, Frank \. Rogers, have found that
one of the greatest road building
difficulties To be overcome in the
lower peninsula of Michigan is get
ting material at a reasonable price.
There is plenty OF limestone i'll Mon
roe and other counties, but limestone
is too soft for heavy traffic. So it
has been necessary for Wayne county
to go as far east at Little Falls, y. Y,
and as far west as Wisconsin, to find
trap rock suitable for good roads. But
freight rates make Wisconsin ma
terial practically prohibitory for east
ern Michigan, and stone that costs
less than a dollar square yard in
New York, costs So and more before
it reaches Michigan.
Within half mile of the Marquette
State prison i'll the upper peninsula,
is an inexhaustible quantity of trap
rock, and only a short distance away
are plenty of docks. The stone, after
being mined by prison labor, can be
loaded by machinery on short line
gravity car line and dumped directly
into boats with very little handling.
The cost of the stone at the docks, 1t
is thought, need not exceed % to 40
cents a square yard and with freight
ing charges not over a dollar, the
state can provide this raw material
for road building in place OF the pres
ent bonus being paid for good roads.
This plan also solves the prison
labor problem, by giving convicts
work that does not interfere with free
labor now being employed. 1t opens
up new industry, for Michigan, with
out placing additional burdens on tax
payers, and at the same time it puts
within easy reach OF county good
roads commissioners stone that they
cannot now obtain without making
the roads too expensive.
If, after thorough investigation, it
is found that this trap rock can be
furnished by the state at little or no
greater expense than limestone is
now costing, one of the greatest OBJ
stacles to the improving of the states
10000 miles of roads will be removed.

A Comprehensive System.

We are told that there is a fringe of
United States which can be made to
shelter vessels engaged in the trans
portation of merchandise and passen-
gers from city to city. With a COM
paratively small outlay for canals and
the deepening OF channels there
would be a protected water highway
stretching from New England to
Florida. We are also told that there
are 10000 miles of navigable rivers in
the United States which can easily be
made to float larger vessels and on
which the flow of water can be so
ways be water enough to float at least
a considerable part of the commerce
which ordinarily passes to and fro
over them. In fact we are told lots
of things about the advantages to be
derived from an expenditure of pub
lie funds upon the natural and artifi-
| cial waterways Of this country
There is force in the report of Rep.
J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania.

Exclusive Roads for Automobiles.

Word comes from England that the
good roads problem there is becom-
| ing acute on account of the tendency
of automobile drivers to run their ma
chimes over the splendid highways so
rapidly that the surfacing is seriously,
if not permanently damaged. The
maintenance of highways in the
United Kingdom has increased in cost
from year to year until Parliament
has been forced to consider the ad-
visibility of constructing highways for
the exclusive use of automobiles. A
bill providing for such a system of
highways has been presented before
the English law makers.
The people. so far as their opinions
have been learned, favor the plan be-
cause the motor cars have become so
numerous and their drivers so reckless
that property adjoining the highways
has decreased in value and travel on
the roads is accompanied by great
danger to life and limb. If the new
system of roads is completed the reg
ular highways will not be permitted
to join them and the motorists will be
turned loose to do their worst. The
speed limit will be taken off and the
motorists will be permitted to indulge
their speed mania to their hearts con-
| tent.
The one trouble with this scheme is
| that the motorists cannot be made to
| furnish all the cost and all the main
tenance of the new highways. The
tax payer will be compelled to carry
the burden of two systems; one for
his own use, and one for the use Of the
| individual who by the wrongful use
of proper highway has made it nee
essary to have another.

Ornithology.

He found feather of green and blue
In the city park he was walking through
One day when the wind was blowing.
The bird that shed it he could not see,
But he said, ''Ts a species new to me,
And probably worth my knowing"
A sweet little maiden came tripping by,
In sweet new gown, as blue as the sky,
And hat with many feather.
Buckles. and bows, and velvet bands;
And she held it on with both her hands
Because it was windy weather.
Such hues," quoth he, have never been
Within my recollection.
Fair maid, have you spied the bird in
town?

And I'll have it for my collection

Abundant in every section.
You're a learned man. as 1 observe:
And I'm sure the bird will never deserve

That are worthier far! And now. kind sir,
If you please, I'll take my feather!''
Said the prettiest lips that ever were
kissed
To the learned ornithologist.
Well, he hadn't a heart of leather.

Brewers In Indiana Politics.

| The liquor interests are graphing
with the prohibition movement IN the
West in much the same manner as
thew have grappled with it in the pro-
hibition states, that is, by penang
every effort to get control of the law
making bodies, thus debating the new
laws and wiping out those objection
able to them. The latest instance IS
the State of Indiana, where the liquor
interests have begun by mixing in mu-
nicipal affairs in an effort to build up
powerful state machine. 1t is sig
nificant that the brewers have been
taken into the Democratic State or
ganization through this control of mu-
nicipal Democratic committees.
So faced has been the work
that the people have become aroused
and there is a possibility that county
option or even statewide prohibition
will be the ultimate result. While 1t
might appear at first glance that the
liquor men are playing shrewd game
yet on further examination it Is clear
that they have made blunder, for
their bold entrance into politics has
resulted in antagonizing the people in
the country districts. These rural
residents will vote a heavy Republl-
can majority under normal conditions,
and under the new conditions 1t is be-
lieved rural Democrats will be alien
atcd from the Democratic party, and

of the general assembly from Indiana
will not occur for many months, but
the brewery combine has succeeded in
arousing an interest that is likely to
prove fatal to them. The indianapolis
News in an exceedingly frank discus
sion of the situation says that there
is everywhere an evidence that the
coming battle will be between the Ii
uuor and anti-liquor forces. Maine
people will watch the contest with
great deal Of interest because of the
many features which have their coun-
terparts in this State.
