PERTINENT FIGURES.
Telling Part of the Story of
Why the Good Roads Move
ment is Worth While.

Charlotte Observer.
The season when bad roads
are at their worst is approaching
and this renders some recent fig
ures presented on the subject by
the Richmond Times-Dispatch
very timely. The cost Of haul
ing farm products in the United
States,' says The Times-Dis-
patch, averages about % cents
a mile. while in Europe where
the roads are uniformly good the
cost is only 8 cents a mile. II
the cost in the United States
was only s cents a mile the saw
ing would be about $3.50, 600, 600
year. To transport wheat
from New York to Liverpool
costs 3.S cents a bushel. 1t costs
the farmer 5.4 cents a
bushel to haul this same wheat
from the farm to the market,
the average haul being little
less than ten miles. 1t is esti-
mated that the agricultural pro-
ducts Of the United States dur
ing the last eleven years have
been worth 10000, 600, 600.
The cost Of moving this produce
from the farms to the markets
over bad roads above what the
cost of transportation would
have been over good roads
would build approximately {
million miles OF good roads"
These figures, striking as the,
are, do not tell the whole story.
They take no account of the in
mense increase in the comfort Of
travelling, the saving of draugh'
animals or the wear and tear O.
vehicles obviated by properl!
constructed highways. The
good roads NOV ement, like man,
similar ones, requires an i'm
mense amount Of hard work t
keep it going, but judging from
the return on the investmen
made apparent, by these figure
it would appear rather NOR
than worth while.

Every made by the sandpatters against Roosevelt has only the Administration deeper in the hole dug by Aich and Cannon and its frantic efforts to climb out chiefly to call attention to its embarrassing position.
 VcePresident Sherman thought he playing smart po when he his ured the Colonel into contest for the place of temporary chairman of the New York convention and then knfed him the back and for day two they exuted attered themselves that they had eliminated the Colonel.
 They then heard from Oyster Bay that the Colonel making medicine and putting edge his omahawk Big Chief trick began look like
 stupid bunder President Taft haened to deny repons by for the job blame Sherman and the Od Guard for all the trouble and extend the Colonel renewed of distinguished consideration

NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
Line to New. River Open to Traffic Next Week. S. P.'s Day Train
 Not Started.

The railroad from Fl Centro west to New River is completed and trains will begin running on Monday next, according to a schedule given in an other column. A bridge over New River will be built in the fall, and it is probable that extension of the track westward to connect with the San Diego & Arizona line, building east ward from the coast, will be started ate an early date. The track from El Centro to Mobile and Seeley is a pat of the San Diego & Arizona line, but for the present it will be operated as an extension of the Holton Inter- Urban, giving direct service from Holtville to New River.
 The through day train on the South ern Pacific between valley points and Los Angeles was announceed for last Sunday but did not show up. It is supposed to be ready to begin service tomorrow, but no schedule had been received at the El Centro station up to noon, and nobody knows for sure when the train is to be put on.

PRESIDENTS ENGINEER
Wide Experience and Distinguished Service of Man Selected to Place
 Colorado Under Control.

Two field parties are making sur veys on the Colorado and in the delta lands in Mexico under the direction of Engineer J. A. Ockerson, who is preparing a report to the President on the work requisite to restore the river to it's old course and protect reclamation projects in California and Arizona. Mir. Ockerson's first impress sion was that the valley could be protected sufficiently by levee along the Paredones to Volcano Lake, but a trip down the Bee river channel gave him a clearer conception of the problem, and he now sees that the break into Bee river must be closed and the Colorado kept in a course that will not cause cutting back of the bed.
 Mir. Ockerson is a civil engineer graduate of the University of Illinois, and has for many years been engaged on the physical Investigations of the Mississippi river from it's source to it's mouth.
 He has been for twelve years a member of the Mississippi River Con- mission, which has charge of the i'm provement of that stream from the mouth of the Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico. He is regarded as the high est authority on matters relating to the improvement of the great river by means of levees, bank revetment and dredges of large capacity.
 He represented the United States as official delegate to the International Congress of Navigation in Paris in 1900; Milan, 1905; St. Petersburg 1908, and was also delegated by the Mississippi River Commission during the later year to investigate the chief European waterways and harbors and report on dredging appliances and other means of improving and regu- lating river channels.
 He was a member of the inter- national jury of awards on works relating to engineering at the Paris Exposition and was director of the Department of Liberal Arts at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition He is a prominent member of the Ameri- can Society of Civil Engineers and past president. As consulting engineer he is widely known, and he has been called on to advise as to engineering works of large propor- tion. His contributions to engineer ing literature are well known, both at home and abroad.
 He has been signally honored by foreign countries in the award of decorations as follows: Germany, 1; France, g. Italy, 1; Belgium, l. Sweden, 2, and China, 1.
 Tn his home city of St. Louis, he stands high in the esteem of his fel- low citizens.
 His designation by President Taft as engineer to investigate and report on the regulation and control of the Colorado river, for the protection of the lands and property of Imperial Valley, came wholly without solici-d tion or knowledge on his part that such duty would be assigned him.

GLASS BOTTLE BLOWERS.

BILE Agreement.
Wage conferees of the Glass Vial

ton of America. in conference recent
ly at Atlantic City, reached an AMIGA
BILE agreement.
Wages for the coming year are to
continue the same as during the last
bottle blowing season. This decision
was reached when the representatives
of the men realized that it was useless
to ask for an increase in the face of
machine competition. Further than
this. the manufacturers acceded to a
proposition from the men for three
shifts instead of two in the bottle
plants, thus providing for a consid-
cradle number of employees who have
been displaced in regular shifts by the
automatic machines. Working rules
and regulations were satisfactorily set
tied.
The manufacturers also acceded to
proposition from the blowers that
the apprentices should be apportioned
on basis Of one to each twenty blow
ers instead of one to ten or fifteen
journeymen, as in the past, the purpose
being to shut off as far as practicable
the invasion of new men.
The manufacturers refused. how
ever. to abandon their demand for the
total or partial suspension of the sum-
mer shutdown which has been opera
This question was accordingly left
open.

Autos For Business Agents.
Many of he building trade unions of
Chicago maintain automobiles for the
use of their business agents.
Some of the unions which have pur-
chased automobiles for their business
agents and the number of the ma
chimes they possess are: Plumbers. 8;
bricklayers. 2; carpenters. South Chi

mel miners, l.. - - -
The Steamfitters' union and the Archi-
tectural Iron Workers union recently
voted to purchase automobiles for
their business agents, and committees
have been appointed to make the pur-
chases.
The Plumbers union has three bust
ness agents, one for each side of the
city. and recently it bought three ma
chimes for their use. The president of
the Bricklayers' union has an auto
mobile for his exclusive use. while an
other is maintained for the use Of the
two business agents.
