Scheme to Boom Trade.

The New York Industries association
had meeting recently to plan boom
for metropolitan merchandise through
out the country. The implements by
which the boom is to be developed are
the ink Of the printer. the colors of
the painter, the personal efforts Of the
dealer and the coaching of the travel

New York first. last and all the time.
This is regarded as about the first con-
fession the city has ever made that
she is not sufficient all to herself.
There are other trade centers that are
threatening her supremacy as Il buy

dustries association is determined to
use all the service the press agent can
afford in meeting the competition.

NEW KIND OF ROAD MATERIAL
Salt and Alkali Scale From Boilers
Used In Parts Of Kansas.


The farmers in central Kansas as
we'll as the people in the towns have
been interested in good roads for sew
eral years. and III Ellsworth and its
vicinity one can see almost any kind
of made road.
At one or two places In Ellsworth
county there are short roads where
treatment has been given similar to the
pavement on Douglas avenue in Ellis
worth. Here there are two blocks that
fool four.ffths Of the visitors to the
town. The treatment of this street
was commenced about two or three
years ago. consisting Of coarse and
fine cinders in layers. then covering
surface Of salt and alkali scale.
The water in this country is very
hard. and In all the steam boilers mt
the salt mills and other factories sort
Of alkali forms which must be remov-
ed frequently, and this, with the salt
and alkali scale that forms in the salt
pans. Is used on Douglas avenue. 1t
forms Il hard crust and makes a most
excellent street. 1t IS success on
the most busy thoroughfare of Ellis
worth. and If the supply was not SO
limited the farmers would use it for
the rural roads and more Of the streets
Of Ellsworth would be paved with it.
The salt and alkali crust on Douglas
avenue Is now about three inches
thick. and this lies on three inches Of
coarse cinders and three inches of fine
cinders. 1t makes a pretty street, In
appearance being like an asphalt pave
ment before it becomes dirty.

Cost of OiIing Roads.

recently published report Of the
Boston park commission is interesting.
In 1906 twelve miles of road were
treated with oil to keep down the
dust. and the result was so satisfac-
tory that in 100 The whole extent of
more than forty miles was treated in
this way. Mr.. Putnam. the engineer.
has carefully calculated the cost. and
he says that the annual cost of sprin-
king thirty foot roadway was $3.50
mile. whereas the cost Of oiling the
same roadway thirty feet wide was
$3.50. In addition to laying the dust,
the asphaltum in the oil had binding
effect on the surface Of the road and
very materially lessened the cost for
repairs. The oil is put on in an emul-
sion in which fifteen pounds Of soap

STARTING THE WHEELS OF
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
How President Taft Took Hold of Executive
Work---His Business Routine Important
Cabinet Members.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Without
a jog or jar in the running the new
machinery of Federal government is in
full operation. The hand of President
Taft is on the lever. The hand of
new man is on the organization of
nearly every executive department.
1t has been a week of new men in
most of the important places. There
are more new men to come. And yet
every thing is proceeding smoothly
and the new administration is being
greeted with acclaim.
Of course President Taft took hold
with the assurance of veteran. The
White House hardly seemed strange
to him, he had been there SO often be-
FORE Over in the White House offices,
he settled very naturally into the big
chair at the mahogany desk in the
southeast corner room and began to
peruse the documents and papers there
with the ease of one who had been
used to it for years. There was hardly
a semblance of hustle or confusion,
except such as attached to the great
throngs who came to shake his hand
and wish hiln well.
Mr.. Rooseveit's last hours there
were marked by the attention of great
crowds of people who came to say good
bye. The last of those visitors had
hardly departed on the rainy evening
of March 3, before Mr.. and Mrs. Taft
had driven to the White House to re-
main over night and to participate in
the snowbound, blizzard-like inaugural.
And with the morning of that very
severe and wintry day, the tide of
we'll wishers for Mr.. Taft began to
set in. Thousands of the inaugural
visitors wanted to see him before they
left town. AS the violent March storm
SO crippled the train service that there
was great delay in getting away, many
of these visitors improved the oppor-
tunity to cali upon the new President.
And for three or four days much of
his time has been occupied in meeting
these visitors.
Very little attention has yet been
given TO matters of government bust
ness. President Taft outlined his
views on current questions in his inau-

gural address and since then in oeca-
slonal talks with friends, he has in
dlcated some further details. For in
stance, he does not propose to hasten in
making nominations to important of
noes. He has not selected anything
like all the men he will need for the
leading positions. He has not picked
many men yet for those blue ribbon
places at foreign capitals. He did de-
eide early upon two ambassadorships
One was the Ambassador to Toxic.
He has offered that to Mr.. Oscar
Straus, until recently Secretary of
Commerce and Labor. But that selec-
tion has not been announced because
Japan has been asked, as is customary
in such matters, whether the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Straus would be acceptable.
If the answer is in the affirmative. Mr..
Strauss name will 60 to the Senate
soon after the extra session of Con-
gress convences, Mr.. Taft has also
asked Truman H. Newberry, late
Secretary of the Navy, to accept an
ambassadorship to some European
Court, but Mr.. Newberry does not de-
sire diplomatic Office. Apparently
no other members of the last Roosevelt
cabinet are to be taken care of, except
of course, the two members thereof
who are now serving under Mr.. Taft
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Secretary of the Navy Meyer. The
names of the new cabinet were for
warded to the Senate the very next
day after the Inauguration and forth
with confirmed Two assistant Secre-
taries have also been nominated and
confirmed Beekman Winthrop, of New
York, until recently Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, as Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, and Hunting
ton Wilson, of Illinois, as Assistant
Secretary of State. Probably eight or ten
new assistants to cabinet officers will
be selected in the course of the next
month, but Mr. Taft has not decided
upon many of their names thus far.
A few of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomina-
tions to the Senate failed of confrma-
ton for one or another reason. Mr..
Taft expects to renew most of those
nominations, one Of which is that of
Former Assistant Attorney General
Purdy to be United States District
Judge in Minnesota. But the new

one-time newspaper man himself, he
has been one of the most accessible of
public officials in Washington to news
paper correspondents and has looked
upon their visits in the proper light,
as those of men who come solely for
business purposes. He told a large
company of them the other day that he
coulu not continue his twice a day
Notwithstanding and afternoon
which he used to grant in the earlier
days. But that did not mean the door
to his Offices was shut to them.
In former times Mr.. Taft has been
very willing TO have much he said put
into quotation marks. But it is rule
long observed by the profession that a
President is not to be quoted. Mr..
Taft, as President, will expect that
rule to be observed now and the read
ing public will see little in the way
of direct statements from him. except
when he makes a speech or issues a
formal and official statement.
