At Columbia, Mo. P. s. Quinn. high

ganized class in road building. AT
the first meeting of the class more
than fifty farmers. all dressed in their
working clothes. assembled in the cir.
cult court room in the county court
house and sat in a semicirce around
the judges desk. On the bench was
Mr.. Quinn. acting as professor in the
new branch of school instruction. The
pupils were the newly elected road

said. Remove everything from the

He made it plain to the overseers
that they had authority and that he
wanted them to make use of it. The
men were interested too. Some of
them had had trouble with the land,
owners. and they wanted to know
what TO do

of how to improve the country roads
There were instructions as to the use
of teams and when to do the work.

RIVER BOTTOM DRAINS.
Dean Raymond Shows That Tiles must
Be Used to Obtain Results.

Be Used to Obtain Results.
The river bottoms of Iowa are usual
~ broad. with little slope toward the
river and almost universally with
banks slightly higher than the land
farther back. these banks forming nat
ural levees to keep the river off the
bottom lands except mt very high wa
ter, but also serving TO hold water
on the bottom lands for long periods
in the spring and after food stages of
the river. AS result of this forma-
ton many thousands Of acres of the
richest. most valuable land are wholly
unproductive. says Dean William q.
Raymond of the Engineering State
university of Iowa city. They are COW
cred by shallow ponds that dry out
only late in the season or serve only
for wild hay or inferior pastures.
Attempts to drain these lands by
open bitches have sometimes been sue
cessful. but often have not owing to
the very slight fall that can be had.
the rapid choking Of bitches by vege-
tation and the blocking of the mouth
by river silt and sand. Moreover, this
method wastes considerable quantities
Of this same most valuable land that
it is sought to reclaim. An open ditch
must have easy side slopes to prevent
caving in of the sides. and the dirt
taken from the ditch is deposited
alongside, so that properly construct
ed ditch only one foot wide on the bot
tom and four feet deep Is likely to
waste n strip of land twenty-five to
thirty feet wide for its entire length.
a mile of such ditch would consume
over three acres of tillable ground. If
the annual profit to be earned on such
land is only $3.50 per acre. this would
represent az > per cent Il capital ac-
count of $50 that could be added to
the cost Of an open ditch to build tile
drain, and if the annual cost of clean
ing the open ditch be capitalized in Il
similar manner a sum possibly even
larger could be added to the cost of
an open ditch to build a tile drain.
An open ditch that will even ap-
proXimate the drainage effect of IL
twelve inch tile cannot be properly
built for less than from $T0O to $1,000
a mile, depending on the soil. the labor
market and the class of labor availa-
bic. while the cost of Il twelve inch
tile well laid may be as little as about
$1,4O0 Il mile. as is shown by the fol
lowing cost of $500 feet of such tile
drain laid for Mr.. II. X. Mosnat of
Belle PLANE. The cost was $500 rs.
AS there were 27O acres directly
benefited by this drain the cost was
about 1882 per acre Half of this
land had never been under cultivation
and the other half only in dry years.
About seventy acres were in two ponds.
and various attempts mad been made
to drain these by open bitches. but
without success.
The result has been gratifying. and
the owner was offered 40 per cent
increase on the cost of the land and
tile as soon rs it was demonstrated
that the ponds could be drained. This
particular line of tile averaged four
to four and half feet deep and open
cd into the Iowa river by a tide gate
or flap valve that lets the water into
the river at ordinary stages and keeps
the river out of the tile at high wa

DEVELOPMENT IN ' WIRELESS SYSTEM

f London. January 14.9(special. )-wire- less messages direct to and from any part of the Atlantic ocean-such is the new de- velopment promised on the completion of leviathan ships now in course of con- struction.
 At present wireless communication from ships to shore is restricted by distance. A message sent. say, from England to the Mauretania or any other ship in mid-At- lantic has to be picked up by another ves- sel nearer the shore and transmitted to its destination
 This is due mainly to the fact that the masts are not sufficiently high to allow of a continuous succession of powerful aerial waves carrying the messages, but this defect Is soon to be remedied.
 The Hamburg-American steamer Euro pa. which Is now being built, will prob ably be the first ship to communicate di- rect to the shore stations from any part of the Atlantic.
 Her masts will be unusually high, and she will carry the most powerful wireless apparatus ever installed on a sea-going vessel
 The Europa will be 300 feet long, 96 feet broad, and she will have no fewer than nine decks above the water line-a verita- ble skyscraper afloat.
 Another interesting feature will be a new system of ventilation. There will be no ventiiators rising above her decks. Pure air warmed to a comfortable temper ature will be pumped to all parts of the ship in such 8 manner that there will be no inconvenience from draughts.
 The new Cunarder, which has just been ordered, will be Ss5 feet long, or slightly shorter than tho Europa.

k Washington, January 14.-(Special.)- fWhat American business men can ac- complish in legislative matters Is being effectively demonstrated in the campaign now being waged before congress to se- cure tariff commission which shall handle scientifically the big problem of tariff making. A year and a half ago, business men of the country, tired with the business unrest tariff rsvisions cause, settled upon tariff board, or commis- sion idea, as a solution of the problem. Their original plea was considered hum- orous by the politicians and certain mem- bers of the Senate and House claimed that tEis plan was an attempt to take from Congress its constitutional right to- i'm pose taxes and levy revenues.
 The business campaign, however. re- suited in the creation of the present tenn porary tariff board. and doubtless will secure the enactment of law at the present session of Congress providing for eA permanent commission and for the revision of tariff laws by the schedule plan.
 This has come or Is about to come to pass, because American business men decided that it was time for them to give little less of their energies to their own particular affairs. and devote some of their time to showing the cour- try at large, and Congress In particular, how the problem that has been turning political parties upside down and affect ing business stability should be dealt with.
 This idea was, the genius of the Ma tional Tariff Commission association, an organization formed in Indianapolis in February. 1909, by representatives of some of the strongest and most impor- tant commercial bodies of the country, for the sole purpose of securing the enactment of Legislation providing for a permanent board to collect facts. f1g- ures and necessary data that should en- able the President and Congress to raise or lower duties inteligently.
 The gathering in Indianapolis inolud- ed such leaders in. commercial life as D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis, Alba B. Sheldon, of Chicago, Henry R. Towne, president of the Merchant Association president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, Henry T. Willis, economist and writer on foreign matters, John Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, Ohio, Professor B. " Robinson, of the University of Minnesota, H. D. Miles. of Raco. Wis consin, J. J. Culberson, of Paris, Texas and Charles M Jarvis, of New Britian, Conn.
 All of these men arc directors in the association and have been conspicuously active in the campaign which has caused complete reversal of public opinion regarding the usefulness of a tariff com mission. Their campaign has brought not only the business interests, but also the leaders at tho capitol to realization of the necessity for having such per- manent body.
 It is such men as these who have been successfully backing the president in his fight for the passage of the bill creating

the commission, and 1t has been their wig orous support in the face of the covert, yet deep-seated, opposition of the politi clans that has brought the campaignh up to point where there seems little doubt of it's success.
 Dnring the Christmas holidays. Pres ident Taft broke his intention of rest only when he took up the tariff .commis- sion proposition. There have been daily conferences on the subject at the White House for the past two months. A tariff commission is the main plank in President Taft's legislative programme He has made 1t known to members of the Senate and House that if all of the other measures he desires enacted into law fail at this session there must be no failure in the creation of 8 permanent tariff board. This Is the present Taft hobby, and 1t will remain so until a per manent tariff board is working.
 The temporary tariff commission. se- cured as a compromise in the Payne tariff law. is working steadily. It's in- vestgation into the woolen schedule which may claim to be a revision up- ward, instead of downward, as the re- publicans pledged in tho platform upon which President Taft was elected, will be soon completed. It's recommendations will be sent to Congress by President Taft, who will urge that the scientific recommendations sof the temporary board he enacted into law
 To Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, Colonel Roosevelt's son-in-law. will belong the honor of fathering the new permanent tariff board legislation. Representative Longworth framed measure that has been stamped with Mr.. Taft's approval. This measure also meets the views of the Senate and House leaders, and is the bill upon which they have united. 7s%
 President Taft has had excellent out side support in his light to make Con gross enact a tariff board law. The Ma tional Tariff Commission association held a big convention here on January Il and 12. Tariff was the only issue, and It's sci entiffic treatment by experts through a commission was indorsed by every speak CT, and every indorsement applauded to the echo. The fight that President Taft is leading for the permanent commission prompted the convention.
