FlNCASTLE FIRE SWEPT.

Fincastle, Va, Jan. 14.--The
business section of Fincastle was
swept by fire at an early hour this
morning, entailing loss that will
probably be about $50, 900 or more.
The buildings burned were the
Guggenheim block, Mrs. Ann Boil
tons home, the town hall and ad-
joining structures. For some time
the Bank of Fincastle was in dang
er of destruction.
The Roanoke fire department
was called upon for help, but twas
considered impossible to take the
apparatus over the country roads,
and the request was denied.
Many persons have been made
homeless as a result of the fire.
Several clerks will be out of work
until the stores are rebuilt in the
burned district.

STATE CONTROL OF ROADS.
Why Kansas CountYs Surveyor Fa-

Why Kansas CountYs Surveyor Fa-
vors Uniform System.
The state control of roads in order
to bring about uniformity and elimi-
nate the offices that have to do with
road building is advocated by ]. NJ.
Lindsay, county surveyor Of Wyan-
dotte county. Kan. Mr. Lindsay would
abolish the office of county engineer
and have a resident state engineer ap-
pointed either by the state highway
engineer or IL good roads commission.
AS a continuation Of the plan the
township road oyerseer would be I'M
der the control of the resident engi-
neer, and the result, Mr.. Lindsay
says, would be uniformity of roads
aud bridges.
Suppose" Mr.. Lindsay said, "that
the county commissioners of one coun-
ty should erect concrete bridge and
!! on the same road in the next county Il
cheap tin affair is erected. In u few
years the cheap bridge may wear out.
and heavily loaded wagon or a
thrashing machine would be compel
led to go around it, Under state con-
troll this condition would not arise, as
the plans for bridges would be more
or less uniform. Not that all bridges
would necessarily be concrete. but the
capacity and condition Of every bridge
in the state would be known by every
resident engineer If the survey OF
every county road were made in con-
formity with roads in adjoining coun-
ties the ultimate result would be a
road straight across the state at no
unusual cost.
This would be the case if surveys
for all generally Travelled roads were
! filed in the office Of the state highway
| engineer or with Il good roads COM
mission. Then, too. the road boss
! who insists upon his own ideas or
road building. whether they are right
| or wrong. would be eliminated. He
would be, under the direction OF a
| competent engineer and his bit or
! road would receive the same attention
as any other road in the state"
Mr.. Lindsay is one Of the three
members Of a committee appointed by
! the Kansas Engineering society to
procure the passage of good roads
| laws in the Kansas Legislature next
winter He is endeavoring to get the
support of the society for state con-
! troll of highways.

New Phosphate FieIdsFound.

Washington, Jan. 15.-P h o S.
phate beds, believed to be of great
commercial value. have been dis
covered in Western Montana, ac-
cording to a bulletin from the Geo
graphical Survey. The deposits
are on public lands near Butte,
Mont, which have been withdrawn
from entry, pending legislation by
Congress as to control and dlspo-
sition.
As it was not desirable to call
public attention to the discovery
before the Government had had an
opportunity to withdraw from en-
try these lands, no detailed pros
pecting has been done. The Geo
logical Survey agents believe that
the area underlain by the phos-
pbate is large, and it thought that
the bed might be five or six feet
thick. H. S. Gale, who has writ
ten a phamphlet on the subject,
says the recently discovered depos-
its "are almost, if not quite, iden-
teal with those occurring in the
great phosphate field couple of
hundred miles to the south, where
the beds have a workable thickness
of 4 ID to 6 feet" The possible
tonnage may be large, as a square
mile with a three-foot bed of phos-
phate would contain about $780,
900, tons.

DRAGGING ROADS WITH AUTOS
How Six Machines Helped to Make
Two Miles Smooth and Hard.


Two Miles Smooth and Hard.
The Muskogee (OklaD Motor club is
improving the roads in Muskogee
county. This club is composed of fifty
motorists. The members have bought
fifty split log drags and are using
them on the roads leading out of Mus
kogee. The first trial was made a
short time ago and proved d great sue
cess.
4 stretch of road two miles long
leading out of one of the city's prin-
cipal thoroughfares was selected.
When the ground was in the right con-
dition the six split log drags were at
tached to the rear aXles of six ma
chimes. and the two miles of road were
thoroughly dragged. The result is that
they are as smooth and hard as could
be desired. 1t took the motorists about
a quarter of Il day to do the work.
This work IS TO be extended. The
fifty members Of the club are to be di-
vided into squads of six each. Each
squad is to be given division of road
to improve. More drags will be made.
The material in drag of this kind
costs $50 il haught at lumber yard
and hardware store. but any farmer
can make ORG with ordinary tools for
practically nothing by using split logs,
rs the name of the drag suggests.

Woncn For Good Roads.


In one OF those cities where the
women have actively taken up the
work Of civic Improvement the wo-
mans club has created a department
of good roads and has appointed a
committee to have charge. This is the
first action of the kind that we have
noticed. The local newspaper says
t:!at this committee has not been
asked TO work the roads, but it surely
will be able TO work the men who con-
troll them. to judge by the success of
the efforts of the women in the past
for improvements of advantage to the
city" And therein is stated the secret
Of the value of such an undertaking on
the part of these women. If the men
won't build good roads the women can
make them. Southern Good Roads
begs leave to acknowledge itself firm
and unwavering constituent of this
club of progressive ladies who not
only enjoy books and original articles
on current topics. refreshments and So
cial pleasures connected with the usu-
al feminine club, but also incorporate
into their realm of activity such Il
laudable work as furthering the good
roads movement.

HIGH COST OF LIVING is DUE FOR A
TUMBLE

Chicago, Jan. 16.--Millions of
pounds of butter. eggs, cheese and
poultry held in cold storage ware
houses here, will be thrown on the
market before May l, and a gtner-
al tumbling of food prices is expect
ed at once, according to commits
sion merchants. Numerous Chica-
60 commission men are said to be
facing failure as result of their
efforts to maintain an artificial
price on the necessities OF life. The
inability further to uphold this
price is said to be due to combl-
nation of circumstances, chief OF
which are the open winter of 1911,
and the banner crops of 1910.
Three commission men failed IN
the last week as a result, it is said
of holding great quantities of but
ter, which they purchased at an
average price of 81 cents a pound
and now are unable to market for
more than 81 or % cents a pound
Some of the produce which now
is to be unloaded on a falling mark
ct has been in warehouses for as
long as five years. By means of
the cold storage houses, commits
sion men have been able to main
tain M artificial price mot only to
the consumer, but to the producer
it is said.
Thirtv-two warehouses are sale
to have Al 100000 pounds of but
ter, eggs and poultry.
The increased sale of oleomarga-
inc is given as an added cause fol
the situation that the commission
men now find themselves facing

The production" of Portland ce-
ment made a. new high record in,
the year 1910. From statistics, and
estimates received by the :Uuited
States Geological Survey from about
20 per centsof the companies man
ufacturing Portland cement, rep
iresenting nearly half of entire out
put ssof the country, it is estimated
by L. F. Burchard, of h e
Survey, that the quantity of Port
! land cement manufactured in the
United States in 1910 was between
70, 800, 900 and rs 900, 900 barrels,
as compared with 63,50S,4 All bar
rels produced in 1909--an increase
1O,OOO,0O0 to 1880, 900 barrels,
or Is to 20 per cent. The figures
at hand are derived from all parts
of the United States, and are there
| fore considered to be representative
of the country at large rather than
of any single section. or district.
Although the average values for
1910 appear, from returns received
thus far, to have been slightly high
er;than in 1909, prices were far
from satisfactory, especially to the
large manufacturers in the Lehigh
Valley district and in certain of
the Eastern States. The year 1911
opens with prices cut 5 to 10 cents
a barrel lower than those prevail
ing i'll 1910. The construction OF
several new plants has been pushed
during the year, and several plants
that were under construction in
1909 became producers in 1910, SO
that the kiln capacity remains far
in advance of the demand.

be compelled to conduct our bust
ness on new basis. We often
have to pay for grain before it
reaches the mill, and we cannot
deal out the product on long time,
or run our business on promises.
We will continue to sell good
flour and feed as low as we can,
but we are going to sell strictly for
cash, or on 80 days to those who
can and miH pay at the end of that
time. If you cannot pay in 80 days
do not ask for credit, as we will
refuse it. !.
Our 1909-10 accounts must be
settled either by cash or good notes.

age and promising courteous treat
ment. Respectfully yours,

The proposal that the navies of
the world be gathered in Hampton
Roads, with the battleships of the
United States, to celebrate the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal will
meet with universal approval. No
motter where the exposition of 1915
is held, this naval review, coupled
with a great national demonstra-
ton at the nations capital, should
open the celebration of that event.
The advocates of New Orleans
as we'll as the champions of San
Francisco will indorse the idea OF
the naval rendezvous in Hampton
Roads. The measure introduced
by Senator Swanson is framed as
an amendment to any exposition
bill that may be passed, and will
provide for this gathering OF the

bic way to the success of the occa-
