phalt and brick and bitulithic and most
other patented pavements all use con-

out badly and the city council proposes
to lay concrete on top of the old con-

ECONOMIC WASTE ON INTERURBANs.

with engineers profles and data have
been made. Out at Atlantic an inter
urban is on the bargain counter and
an old remnant Of one running from
Newton to Boone seems unable to find
any one who will take it as & gift. Ev-
erywhere people are crying for the
service and are putting up thousands
upon thousands IL money to get il.
Economically the building of inter-
urbans in Iowa is a waste Of capital
because they must invariably duplicate
rails that have already been laid. They
are necessary only because of the
to refuse TO give the service, hence
many interurbans are built ct terrific
cost and manage TO pay operating ex-
penses but carry traffic which would
and should have gone over the rails
OF the steam roads already laid
Interurban service all over Iowa
would be possible if the steam roads
would only install motor cars Tor ire
quent local passenger service. Three
IS, 900 motor cars on the rails OF
steam road which already connects
two towns thirty miles apart will per
form the same service which can be
accomplished by a new interurban at
a cost Of haiti a million dollars. The
economic waste IS in the investment OF
half million to perform the same ser
vice which could be performed by the
investment Of few thousand in motor
cars.
Why VIII the managers Of steam
roads SIT stupidity by and compel
whole communities to tax themselves
to build com peting lines for the stea n
roads? Why compel this economic
waste Of the country's capital? The
automobile has come to stay. Every
body knows II. Why not put It on
the rails Of the present steam roads 1?
Public deris!on has long been excited
by the bull which would stop an ex-
press train under full steam, but what
about the steam railroad manager who
will permit great bodies OF people 10
rise up en- nasse and build up conpeti-
ton for him when al they want is SER
vice which the steam road can render
at one tt1irtieth part Of the cost Of a
new interrrban road?

lanaranos of Hawaii.


Il wonder II one citizen in 100000
ever gives thought to that part Of the
United States which Is called Hawaii 2"
remarked franklin Telfair, Of Nevada,
at the New Willard. Hawaii is Just as
mcuh q territory Of the United States as
Ar!xona and New Mexico or Alaska,
and yet we see little about that group
OF islands afar Off in the Pacific.
Il stayed there a week on my way
back from Japan and was we'll repaid
for the stay. w. E. Frear Is the pres
ent territorial governor, and he has the
proper enthusiasm for the job. He is
long way off from the center OF
things governmental on Capital Hill,
but he is looking after his end OF
things with zeal and vigor. He Is proud
TO tell that the official receipts of the
government are In excess of the ex-
penses by something like 100000 a
year, and that Is doing we'll.
The exports Of Hawaii exceed the
imports by $20,000.000. and there is a
steady, tho small. increase in popula-
ton. For time there was fear that
the orientals would crowd in too rapid
ly. but there has been gratifying IN
crease of occidental population in re-
cent years. and the governor Is trying
to stimulate the interest of English
speaking people.
This nation has had control OF
Hawaii for only ten years, and the eff
feet has been for the good Of the
country. Here in Washington you have
given the islands new and improved
harbors. public buildings and light
houses, and the territorial government
has done much in the way of wharves
and waterw orks. so that there is a
modern tendency thru the whole area
OF the territory
There is only one street railway in
Hawaii. and that is in Honolulu, but

SAVING 500 ON PAVING.

Many of the smaller cities of TIE
state and Sioux City, Fort bod ge, and

street paving. At a cost Of s1.23 per

Usage and s1.Sa in Fort Dodge the
finest street pavement a man ever saw
is being laid this summer, or was laid
last summer Of concrete. Brick in most
places in Iowa costs 50 per yard or
better. The saving to property owners
in every city block is $500 and to the
city itself Of not less than $3.50 or close
to $1,000 per block saved to the people
OF a town by using concrete and the
pavement is ideal in quality.
