One million dollars a day for

that will soon be realized, accord
ing to a statement recently given
out by l.. w. Page, director OF
the federal Office of public roads.
Mr.. Page ought know. 1t is
his business to keep in touch
with the progress in road build
ing in every section of the coun-
try, and to lend to it all the scien-
tific advice and aid CLEANED by
this government from the exper-
iments and experience of other
nations.
In 1904 expenditures for roads
and bridges in America totaled
only about $50, 10000. This year
over S14O,OOO,OOO will be spent.
Figuring on this basis, Mr.. Page
believes, and with reason, that it
will not be long before the coun-
try will be spending one million

STORING BAD EGGS
PRODUCE WRITER MAKES SEM
sATIoNAL ATTACK ON TRUST.
Spoiled Eees by Thousands of Dozens
Are Being Stored for Future
Consumption.

Chicago.-Under the direction Of an
alleged butter and egg trust, thou
sands of cases of bad eggs are being
placed in Chicago storage houses for
future human consumption. The stock
of good eggs in storage is being con-
stantly increased. while new laid eggs,
which cost the commission man IT
cents dozen, go to the housewife for
25 to 80 cents.
Statements to this effect published
by the Chicago Produce Bulletin
known in the trades as the Green
Sheet"-nearly caused the author to
be suspended from the Chicago but
ter and egg board. He was charged
with "uncommercial conduct"
One of the "uncommercial" things
which Isaac Tuck, publisher and ed
itor OF the bulletin. did was to predict
a coming break" in the price of eggs
and butter. His other "uncommerciaT
offenses were to decry the storage and
sale of No. eggs.
IN the face of an unprecedented pro-
duction, Mr.. Tuck said in his paper,
the prices of eggs and butter remain
exorbitant. Furthermore, he limited at
the responsible parties.
