Whether the state or the government
shall repair It or whether 1t shall re-

State Highway Commissioner Gates has
interviewed Colonel Jones on the subject,
II is said. 1t is understood that the army
officer thinks that the State should re-
pair the highway, while Commissioner
Gates thinks otherwise The permanent
roadway, which really passes through the
reservation. was originally built by the
government. Numerous sort spots have
appeared In II. and In some places tho

COLD STORAGE
Results of Scarcity of Meats and
Threatened High Prices.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Adds New Trouble
to Railway Manngcrs-Metropolis
Has Record Crop of Summer
Burgluries.

AS the largest consumer of food
stuffs in the country this city is gem
timely concerned over the prospect Of
another season of high prices for all
kinds Of meat products. At first there
was a disposition to decry the neces-
sity of any decided advance In retail
prices and to attribute the threat OF
higher rates to the operations OF the
beef trust. AS tho reports of n gen.
uine scarcity of high grade cattle and
other meat animals have continued TO
come in from all parts of the country
however, and have been reflected In
lhe actual advance of wholesale prices
the public has become convinced that
1t must soon pay more for Its daily
roast or go without. AS ten per
sent. advance in prices Will add nearly
a quarter of million dollars day to
New York's meat bill. the prospect of
an increase that may amount to twice
this sum is a serious one for most
,itiaens. one class that does not share
this general apprehension is the cold
storage men. A quiet investigation of
.he storage houses shows that they
are carrying far more than their or
binary quantities of the ordinary sub
stitutes for meat foods. Taking adj
vantage of the record breaking sup
plios of fish, poultry and eggs that
have been pouring into this market in
the past two months they are fully
stocked with all these products and
arc looking forward to a correspond
inEly rich harvest It is estimated
that within the past few weeks more
than ten million dozen eggs have gone
into storage, while poultry Is being
received at the rate of 10000 pounds
daily and much of it is being taken by
ihc same interests. More fish are said
to be held in cold storage than ever
before in the history of the city. As
A result of present conditions 1t is con-
