At a meeting of the postal strikers
in France q resolution was adopted
asking aid from the workmen's un.
ions and even intimatinga willingness
to join hands with the revolutionary

THE GREAT PYRAMID.
It illustrates the Wonderful Ability Of
the Ancient Egyptians.

the Ancient Egyptians.
The cost Of the labor and material
necessary to duplicate the great pyra-
mid Of Gizeh at the present time would
amount to considerably more than
S50OOO,OQ0. according to paper read
before the Society of Engineers in
New York city by L. S. Wheeler says
the Americ; Architect. The cost of
the material alone is estimated at $4S,-
100000.
This structure, one of the wonders of
the world, is founded on solid rock at
q depth of about 12O feet below the
surface level and rises to a height of
asa feet. It's base covers an area of
almost fifteen acres.
Mr.. Wheeler's scheme for the repro
duction of this pyramid contemplates
first the setting Of a base of concrete.
This would represent about 100000
cubic yards of material and would
cost at least $1O,OOO,OOO. The estimate
for the superstructure is about $685.
100000, and 1t would contain 3,313,OOO
cubic yards of backing stone and 14O,-
600 cubic yards Of facing stone. Mr..
Wheeler's estimate Of labor is 24.00O,-
900 days.
These figures are cited TO show the
great engineering skill Of the Bgyp-
tians and the fact that no task in con-
structlon appeared to be too large for
people whose extant monuments
showed their patience and ability to
overcome obstacles that would daunt
even the modern engineer.

ALASKA ROADS
To Be Graded For Automo-

AS soon as the snow leaves the
ground, large force of men will
begin grading on a new 50O-mile
highway between Valdez and Fair
banks, Alaska. 1t is expected that
the road will be cleared enough to
enable automobiles to travel between
the two cities by this fall, and that
within two years it will be possible
to use motor cars and heavy freight
outfits the year round.

BREC.KONS CALLED UPON

the Harr report and forwarded it and
his recommendations to President Roos-
evelt. The matter now awaits the Pres.
ident's decision, which may come any
day. When the Attorney General had
completed his study of the report,
copy was forwarded to Senator Warren,
of Wyoming, who is understood to have
asked for it.
The President has directed that the
report. or at least certain features
thereof, be forwarded to District Attor-
ney Breckons for his perusal and reply.
Whether this has been done at the re-
quest of Senator Warren is not learned.
The White House is saying nothing
about the conclusions the Attorney Cen
eral and the President arrived at. 1t
is taken for granted, however, that the
Harr report was not altogether in Mr..
Breckons favor. Otherwise the Dis
trict Attorney would not have been
called upon to explain certain features
of it.

MIR. BANCROFT's VIEWS.

"These Islands have a fine future
and the travel to Honolulu is certain to
be large from now on. The mainland rail
roads are beginning to appreciate the
magnitude of the traffic to and from the
Islands, the military and naval develop
ment on Oahu presaging the movement
Of tremendous tonnage of materials
and supplies of ali kinds. The railroads
are beginning to take notice and bid
for the business.
"Your great plneapples fields, with
the immense output every year, and
the production of other fruits, will
cause the transcontinental railroads to
look also to the business of hauling it,
and the further east it goes, the longer
the haul for railroad. There is great
tonnage of products to come out of
these Islands, which is worth working
to get and the railroad people will Ger.
tainly work for it.
"These Islands are beautiful and at
tractive in every way and the hospital
| ity of the people is something that one
can barely appreciate. The Islanders
are hospitable in the extreme and look
out for one-well, I can It express my
feelings about it properly. I am glad
/ came here for I've seen many beau
tiful stretches of scenery and odd things

81 want to say that your railroad
systems in these Islands are modern and
up-to-date and are run in manner
which speaks well for those behind
them. The Oahu railroad, which Mr..
B. F. Dillingham; has built, is excellent.
It has developed this island and it de-
serves the backing of the community.
If the railroad wants to spread out
more, don't hamper it. Don't try to
prevent franchises to railroads, because
they are great developing adjuncts to
the prosperity of a country.
