LOCAL ROAD MEN

That the farmers of eastern Ore
gon are not going to sit idly by and
allow Portland peopie to enjoy a mo-
nopoly Of state boulevard building is
indicated by the following communi
cation received by this paper today:
Editor East Oregonian:
AS we see that the Good Roads as
sociation of Portland is going to ask
the coming legislature to pass a bill
asking for state aid for a road from
Vancouver to the California line, be-
yond Ashland, we as the Umatilla
County Good Roads association are
also asking for state aid for a state
road from Portland to the state line
this side Of Walla Walla, and we have
called meeting for next Saturday
at 1880 o'clock, at the Commercial
rooms and have asked our senators
and representatives to be present and
also the county court. The Good
Roads association will ask for the
coming year an $4,000 levy for road
purposes and We hope at this meeting
to have a good attendance. Every
body is invited to come Our mttto
for the coming year is more work
and better roads"

or become the subjects of q king?
The Tribune has not run away from
the family market basket. because the
supporters of Mr.. Dix have so far paid
no attention whatever to that humble
,ltensil They have had their eyes glued
on thrones. sceptrec. diadems and the
other trappings OF royalty. They have
been so terroriZed by the shadow of the
Man on Horseback that they have ceased
to worry about such trif1es rs what they
shall eat and drink and what garments
they shall put ON.
If The World is willing To neglect
the kingly peril and make the cost of
living an issue in this campaign. we can
only ask it why il supports for the gov
ernorShip of this state man who talks
on the stump about the necessity of
forcing prices lower. but who, as
business man. urges Congress to in
crease the duties on the product which
he manufactures so that he can charge
higher prices to the domestic consumer
and thus lift the present margin of his
profit beyond 10 per cent per annum?
Mr.. Dix never did anything for the bene-
fit of the family market basket On the
contrary. be has used his influence 10
boost prices in his own particular line
of manufacture and TO make the basket
hold even less than it now holds.

THE RAISING OF THE MAINE
Correspondent Has Scheme for Build
ing Golfer Dam Around Sunken Vessel.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t may be unnecessary to make a
suggestion as to the method of raising the
Maine. which has for dozen years or 50
lain in the waters at Havana, Cuba. i nave
been in that city a number of times during
this period. and have shared with The TrID-
une it's earnest efforts in the long past. as
well as approved its references TO the plans
Of the OROurke Engineering Company,
elaborated in the issue OF August 80. and
Illustrated In 1.-THE Scientific American Of
August co. /. e. lifting the ship by large
cables slung beneath the hull and also
the late plan which the naval engineers
put forth of using steel piIing, plates etc
Three years ago. in April, after having
returned from Havana, I suggested the
formation of a company to go to the gov
eminent authorities and propose to raise
the vessel at cost of. say. 10000 and all
salvage believing the vessel could be made
valuable at not very large expense But
nothing was done in the matter. and per-
haps engineers will not approve the plan.
which was to drive two rows OF pillnS
about the ship. some ten or more feet apart.
sufficiently near together so that. when
tied together. bags of sand could
be placed between the rows of piles and
then the water pumped out, and the ship
sufficiently repaired to float her to proper
dock for thorough repairs
OF course piling could be placed a suH-
cicnt distance apart to give plenty of room
to do any repairs thought best before float
ing her again, and the heavy machinery
could be removed before attempting 10
make repairs If necessary. If this method
is adopted I'm making the Golfer dam. the
material used 10 \ large extent could be
made available to reduce cost.
My engineering experience is limited to
that obtained i'm anthracite coal mining,
having in forty years. since 1850, ~ the
owner and manager of a coal and iron
company had some six shafts sunk. some
to depth Of six hundred feet; built and
used four anthracite coal breakers. and i'm
1889 had shaft sunk in the 1st Ward Of
Scranton to = depth of some SIX hundred
feet and some sixty feet was through
uuicksand.
Shaft sinking I'm q few years past nv
using steel cribbing. has been made more
safe and less costly. and the difficulty of
sinking through quicksand f. made com
narativeIv easy But for Golfer dam
around the Maine it seems probable that
wooden piles could be brought into use
without the expense of steel. and much less
engineering skill made necessary. while re-
suits would be quite as economical But
the President will probably be guided by
the naval engineers in the affair, as ap-
pears from published accounts
