The WATCH PRICES

The Elgin and Waltham watch people
IA few days ago announced an increase
in the prices of watches of from to 10
per cent. Representatives of the two
companies say that the new tariff has
nothing to do with it. The watch people
insisted duties be raised. but now that
prices ARE raised they assure us that the
tariff is in no way responsible. Of
course also there was no combination
between the two companies. 1.-THE
Waltham and Elgin companies" we are
told could not combine to raise prices
because that is forbidden by the Sher-
man antitrust act" 1t lust happens"
that the two companies advised the job
bers the same day that the increase was
to be made. Other jobbers than those
of the so-called independent producers,
got no notice. '"They had" as the dis
patches significantly say, mo opportu-
nifty to get lot of watches on hand at
the old price, and naturally they have
not an extremely friendly feeling for
the Elgin and Waltham companies"
Other manufacturers have announced
no advance-one indeed advertises that
there will be no advance
Turning to the best tariff ever made"
we find that there has been quite an
increase in the duty on the cheaper
watches. Movements that used to pay
50 cents each and % per cent, now pay
10 cents each; other advances are from
30, cents each and % per cent. to 81 35
zach, and from Is cents each and %
GER cent to $1.85 each. Further than
his there are requirements in the way
If stamping. branding and marking
hat are'in many ways prohibitive of
Importation. On small movements it is
rlite impossible to get all the lettering
equired SO it will be seen that the
he new tariff is extremely favorable to
he watch makers. As IL result of it's
protective character we have this in
rease in the price of watches.-In-

ROAD WORK In ENGLAND.
Method of Maintaining Highways and
Fiilino Up Soft Scots

Filling Up Soft Spots.
1t may interest many to leafr how
road maintenance is carried OUT in
Great Britain and Ireland All roatis
and bridges are under the direct
charge of the county surveyor, who is
in all cases Il qualified civil engineer,
with assistants under him TO see to
the detail work. He divides the roads
of the county into sections, us seems
best T. him. for maintenance purposes
These several sections arc advertised
locally in the newspapers and by 9th
er means. and bids are invited for their
maintenance for six or twelve months,
says James Johnston of Douglas coun-
ty, Neh in the Breeders Gazette of
Chicago. These bids are opened on a
certain day by q board of county com
missioners. assisted by the county sur
work, but no bid is accepted until the
successful bidder puts UP u bond
signed by two solvent SuretieS that the
work will be performed. Should the
contractor fail to do the work the
county surveyor can have it done and
sue the bondSmen for the work and
costs All bidders for this work have
on the several sections of road. How
long the section is, how many tons of
metal are to be broken and put ON,
cleaning keeping the water tables
clear and the grass off the road all
these are specified. so that he knows
exactly What he has to do. The mat
ter of putting on the metal is looked
after very closely indeed The con
tractor has to put all the material on
the roadside. The surveyor or his as
sistant comes and measures it and
then marks it With slaked lime. so
that it cannot be interferrcd With un-
TIL it is put on the road. Farmers are
always the contractors for this work.
The roads everywhere are always in
good condition. There are many soft
spots over there-bog and low lands,
with rain every day and sometimes
twentyfour hours at time-but the
heaviest autos can spin along the bog
roads and in the rainiest weather with
no damage to the road
They have no difficulty with the soft
bottoms in ireland. They simply throw
in rock. and the softer the spot the
bigger the rocks. until they make it a
hard spot and then put the small stuff
on top y mistake will surely be
made II bricks arc thrown into soft
spots They are simply no good for
| the purpose intended
1t Is to be hoped that the people of
the United States will stop spending
| time and wasting money in shovelng
dirt into the soft spots. but will go to
work like men of business and build
roads.
