he will deliver it; and passing over he

Remarkable Road Building.


There is no more remarkable or perfect
piece of road building on either continent

railway, and compared with the usual
track that was laid by our early build
ers in the Rocky mountains it is a pic
ture of Rafael beside Prang chrome.
American railway engineers have been
possessed with an ambition to build as
many miles Of track possible within
the shortest time. The Austrian eng

MEETS ALL THE DEMANDS
COMMENT MADE ON TARIFF
BOARD APPROPRIATION.
Efforts Of Insurgents to Substitute
Provision for Straight Tariff
Commission Opposed.

Efforts of republican insurgents in the
House to substitute a straight tariff COM
mission bill for the pending provision in
the sundry civil bill for an appropriation
Of $4,000 for the tariff board will be
discouraged. 1t is insisted by the authors
OF the provision that it is entirely ade-
quate to meet the demands of all pro-
tectionis:s, and no other legisla ton is
necessary.
II think this provision ought to be sat
isfactory to. any one in favor of the
principle Of protection as defined in the
last republican national PLATFORM, said
MIR. Tawney today. the author of the
item in the sundry civil bill. Under
that definition protection means the diff
ference between the cost Of production

Authority Conferred.

THE President, under the pending pro-
vision. is authorized specifically to do Ger
! tain things. and generally is authorized
to do any and all things in connection
Herewith authorized by law.
The President has interpreted his au-
thority under the law to mean that he
has the power to appoint tariff board
and also to secure information to the
! cost OF production of imported artioles
are imported and the cost of production
of like articles in this country.
He, therefore under this provision and
with this appropriation. can do all the
things he has said the law authorizes
him to do which he has said he intends
to do. This provision. therefore. ought
to be acceptable to everybody.
President Taft's Interpretation.
Mr.. Tawney called attention to the
| special message to Congress of Presi-
dent Taft of last March on this subject
in which the President defined in these
words his Interpretation of what the
law authorizes him to do:
An examination of the law and an
understanding of the nature of the
facts which should be considered in
discharging the functions imposed upon
the executive show that ! have the
power to direct the tariff board to make
a comprehensive glossary and encyc1o-
pedia of the terms used and articles
embraced in the tariff law, and to Sc
cure information as to the cost or pro-
duction of such goods in this country
and the cost of their production in for
eign countries. l have therefore APP
pointed tariff board of three mem
bers and directed them to perform all
the duties above described"

clause in the appropriation of $2o0.O00

The railway from Gravosa, on the Adri-
attic sea, to Herzegovina, Bosnia, Hun
gary, and the rest of Europe, with con-
nections at Bosnia-Brod fer Constant-
nople, is a piece of sculpture, designed
and executed by competent artist at an
enormous expense. There was no other
means Of climbing up from the sea to
the summit OF the range that incloses the
Adriatic except by blasting a right OF
way across the breast cf the mountains.
1t is one of the most ingenious, difficult
and costly examples of railway construc-
ton in the world. 1t had to be blasted
and chiseled out of the eternal rock
almost the entire distance for 800 miles,
and for many miles there was not a
shovelfu of earth-nothing but broken
stone. But that track will never be
washed away, the roadbed will never
need repair. and mile after mile the
grade is sustained by buttresses Of ma
sonry that will last forever.
The wagon roads that cross the noun
tains were built in the same manner
and are perfect in their way They are
simply carved on the side OF the cliff
and are protected by a wall of stone
three feet high and eighteen inches
thick on the outside edge to keep care

HORSE DROWNED IN
RESERVOIR LAKE
Animal Became Unmanageab.o
When Automobile Passed and
Plunged Down Enbanhment.

Becoming uumanageable when hrish
tened by an automobile, a valuable
horse owned and driven by MIR. j. ID.
Campbell, 22lt Taylor street, plunged
over the embankment of the lake in
Reservoir Park Thursday night and
in six feet of water was drowned.
Scores watched the efforts of the ami
NAL to swim to the shore with the
buggy dragging along.
Mr.. Campbell was driving with Miss
Hattie Bradley shortly after seven
O'Clock He was driving along the
road and nearing lakewood Park when
the automobile, said to have been run
ming on the left side, doomed UP. Like
streak it shot by the horse. The
animal reared and Mr.. Campbell lost
control of it. He called to his lady
friend to jump and Miss Bradley leap
ed out, escaping without any serious
injury. Mr., Campbell remained in the
buoy until the horse plunged over the
embankment. He jumped Just in time
to save himself from probable serious
injury,
Several boys who were rowing in the
lake went near the horse but none
thought of cutting the traces and al
lowing the animal to free himself from
the buggy After struggling for ten
or fifteen minutes the animals head
sank beneath the water. The body
was afterwards lowed near the shore
and was taken out of the lake Friday
morning. The buggy was not hurt.
