ming.
AS a rule this bow is sufficient adj
dition to the usual hat. 1t is quite
enough trimming for the every day
hours. 1t is not against millinery
ideals, however, to offsetthe bow with
an immense bunch Of flowers on the
other side, or wide blown rose on
the brim at the back.
One must be careful to place the
trimming on coed line with the bow,
otherwise the balance is lost, and the
lines of the hat are bad.
While the loose bow copied from a
child's hat is always placed at the
back, the pump bow is across the
front or the side. 1t Is new fashion
to place it on the brim instead Of the
crown, or run it half and half in a
bias line. The conventional method
to which many adhere is to place it
directly on the crown across the front.

concrete For country Highways.

Macadam has served we'll hereto
fore as a surfacing material for the
so-called permanent" roads in the
country districts, the traffic OIL such
roads, even with the marketing Of
crops at certain times of year, being
neither heavy nor congested IN the
sense in which those terms are ap-
piled to city trucking. 1t has been,
too, comparatively constant traffic
that does not vary widely during cor
responding seasons year after year,
for the reason that population and
produce do not increase rapidly in the
farming localities. 1t is on such
roads, built for moderate, horse
drawn traffic, that the automobile is
doing it's greatest damage and COM
pelling an entire change of construc-
ton. Automobiles, though owned
largely in the towns, have great
radius" of action and are travelling
roads which were seldom invaded by
the city horse owner; their highest
speed, too, is usually attained after
leaving the city limits.
To meet this new condition, some
localities are laying the centre of the
roadway with brick or other hard ma
terial and fanking it with macadam.
If this plan shall prove to be the
economical method for combining the
two kinds of traffic. the same advan-
tages that concrete affords as s. pave
ment will suggest it as the best ma.
terial for surfacing country roads. II
The present has been called the
age of ,cameni:.." The statement is
full of significance and should not be,
ignored by progressive road builders.

Immense Saving to Farm

The Office of public roads, un, { the
direction of Mr.. Logan Waller Page,
has assembled some significant facts.
Only about 100000 Of the 100000
miles of roads in the United States
have been in any degree improved.
Almost SO per cent. Of our Public
roads may be said to be in state Of
nature. This statement in itself is
not necessarily startling. A man,
even Congressman, might make the
laconic rejoinder: well, what OF
it?" Just this--if our public high
ways were as good as those Of France
the gain to American producers would
exceed a quarter Of billion dollars
annually.
The average cost of hauling prod
uce in this country is 25 cents q. mile
per ton. In France it is IL cents a
!, mile per ton. Were our roads, then
equal to those of France, there would
be a gain to our farmers of 19 cents
a mile per ton. During the crop year
1905-O6 our more important farm
products, which were hauled from
the places where they originated to
shipping points. weighed in the ag-
gregate S5,4S7.0O0 pounds. The
average length of haul of farm prod
ucts in the United States is "a miles.
Hence, saving of ID cents mile
per ton would have meant to our
farmers a gain of s5S,9O0,O0o on
their more important crops during
the single crop year 19O5-o6. Ac-
cording to the freight figures of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
about 25O,OOO,000 tons are now an
nuaily hauled to points of shipment.
Were our roads equal to these OF
France the annual gain in hauling
based on these figures, would be
sS05, ,O00,OO0.-outlook.

Pioneer Bisbeoite Dead

John Blair, one of the / pioneers of Bisbee, passed away Monday evening at the Copper Queen hospital, death. be- ing caused by Bright's disease. The Review says; The deceased, who was familiarly known to all the old-timers in the district as "Johnny' Blair, came to Bisbee in 1877 and lived here continuously ever since. At enc time be had considerable mineral ground which he had taken up, but unlike other pioneers of the district, he cared little for wealth, and never possessed much of this worlds goods. Before the advent of the Phelps Dodge interests MT. Blair owned the Holbrook claim, which he sold for $l0,000 to the Califor. mia company, that was then operating part of what is now the Copper Queen. For twelve years he was employed as 2 hoisting engineer by the Copper Queen, and until his illness prevented him from working, he was employed as a watchman at the Spray mine of that company He was about sixty years of age and leaves a brother, James Blair

Phoenix to Buy Sewer System.

Phoenix will soon own her sewer sys- tenn if the city council needs the recom- mendation of the special committee from the board of trade, appointed to look into the sewage question. At a special meeting of the council which will probably be held tomorrow, the committed s report, avn up by Chair man B. A. Fowler. will be presented. This report was unanimously endorsed yesterday morning at q special meeting of the directors of the board of trade. Mir. Lack and his associates are willing to turn over the system if the city will assume the outstanding bonds, amount ing to $s2,0OO. Mayor Coggins does not think the system is worth anywhere near that sum, but thinks it might be worth that much to the city to get the corporation out of the way. After in- vestigating nearly three months, the committee last week finally decided to recommend the purchase of the system and instructed Chairman Fowler to draw up report embodying such rec ommendation and tho information which has been gathered.

IMPROVEMENTS AT SHOPS 0f LOCAL
 RAILROAD ALL LOCOMOTIVES BEING OVER HAULED AND PLACED IN
 CONDITION.
WORKING 0N NEW SCALE TRACK
EXPERIMENT OF USING uLUMIN- ATING GAS ON TRAINS IS
 MAKING PROGRESS.

Following out general policy of i'm provement, the c. V. G. & N. railway is overhauling all of it's locomotives, both freight and passenger, at the local shops and within short time all of this class of rolling stock of the com pany will be in first class condition.
 Engine No. ITO, which has been out of commission for about three weeks, following wreck near Nachez siding, went back on the passenger run yester- day. The engine was not wrecked to any extent, the tender receiving the worst of the damage, but while the en. zine was in the hospital it was thor oughly overhsuled.
 No. 365 has been going through the rejuvenation process for some time and will be placed in commission early next week. Work has also been commenced on No. 430.
 The big coal burning freight engine received from the Cananea line is be- ing equipped with oil burners. Just now fuel tank is in process of con struction and as soon as this is com pleted the burners will be placed in the fire box and the engine put on the freight run.
 This locomotive is of the "hog back " variety and is one of the largest in use on the coast. She will have about double the pulling power of any of those now in use here and will be used on the heavy grade between this city and San Carlos. At the present time the heavy freights are brought up in two sections. With the new loco motive in commission, the double haul will be dispensed with.
 The work of laying new seventy pound scale track is practically finish ed. Within short time work will be commenced on other sidings and before many weeks, on new main line track from tho south end of the yards to the depot.
 The experiment of using ordinary H. luminating gas under pressure instead of Pintsch gas for Illuminating the new passenger coaches is working out with much success. Owing to the impuri' ties in the local Illuminating product it was found necessary to use mean descent mantles instead of the ordinary "fish tail" burner. The mantles now in use will not stand the vibration of the cars. but a special lot is now on the way here and it is expected that | they will give entire satisfaction. This experiment is, being watched with interest. not only here, but ir scientific circles generally, as it is tho first thorough test, as far as can bt learned, to be made of ordinary illum mating gas for ear lighting.

That bridges may be built across Salt river, both at the Center street site and at Tempe, is now something more than possibility. At special meeting of the board of directors of the board of trade this morning, bridge matters were discussed As a result of s plan formulated at this meeting it is hoped that the plans for the Center street bridge, which have already been received, may be adopted and that the proposed bridge at Tempe may also be built. This is regarded as the most de- sirable solution of the present difficulty being met with in finally determining upon a site.
