People Willing to Pax.

Thousands upon thousands Of ton
or freight is hauled to and from the
railway station here daily. 1t all
goes over the Glen Elk bridge. In
the event the bridge colIapses. which
1t. is likely to do at any time, how
would that freight get across Elk
creek? There is, no. other direct APP
proach to the station from the city.
Pontoon bridges would not long en-
dure against such great volume of
freight as is handled here. The only
other ways would be either, to wade
the creek or haul freight down Bal
6imore street to the Boyle bridge and
then haul it back into the city.
Either way. would be found incon-
venient and expensive. Trade chan
nels would be greatly handicapped.
The possible freight situation is but
one vital feature. Loss of human
life would prove an appalling calam-
ity.
All these things can be avofdes
and averted, but action by an au-
thprlzed governmental body will be
necessary. The people are willing to
pay for concrete bridge to take the
place of the present Glen Elk bridge
Is the county court willing to let
them have the opportunity to pay

BeIoxv the RIO fSrande.

: a weekly publication called Below

day morning. It announces the fol
lowing as its motive; something
commencing itself to every citizen
of his country interested in main
tanning trade relations with the re-
publics south of the United States;
Events OF the year threaten a
close bond of mutually beneficial In
tercourse between the United States
and her neighbors Below the Rio

The bond-a bond of firm friend
shop-was long In the making, but
tightly and effective. To it has been
due the extension of this country's
commerce throughout all Latin
America. To it has been due the
warm welcome of people of 1.-The
States" in the romantic cline where
the sun shines hot.
Alone, the bond created a field fol.
weekly magazine devoted to the
mutual interests of the countries.
And none but the routine Official
Bulletin" was forthcoming.
The building of thattbond created
the field; it is the threatened de-
struction of the bond-more unfor-

Astn Intervention.

Doubtless the same appeals that
were made to former President Taft
for intervention down in Mexico will
be made to President Wilson. We
wonder If Wilson will act with the
wisdom of Taft? The refusal Of the
Iatter to intervene when in his
minrk at least. occasion did not de-
mand It, is acknowledged to have
been theoSlght course. Taft could
have plungsa,S this country Into no

the advice of humorous of his
friends. Even When strong per

at that time. He refused when

would, aid him In his candidacy nor

TO BE ERECTED AT ARLINGTON
Mainmast of the Maine to Be I'm
yelled With Ceremonies.

Instructions have been issued to the
commandant of the Washington navy
yard TO deliver to the army quartermas-
ters' department the mainmast recovered
from the wreck of the U. S. s. Maine
The mast was brought from Havana
to the local navy yard by the navy collier
Leonidas about eight months ago and has
been in the custody of the commandment,
awaiting instructions from the War De-
partment.
The original act of Congress of May.
1910, which authorized the removal of
the wreck of the Maine from Havana
harbor. provided for the erection of this
mast on a suitable foundation in Arling-
ton national cemetery, on the lot where
many of the Maine dead are buried.
In that lot 1855 bodies were originally
inferred, in December, 1899. During the
unwatering of the Maine the bones of
sixty-five more bodies were recovered.
These were buried with proper ceremonies
in the Maine lot at Arlington, in March.
1912, making total of go buried in that
lot. There are twenty-five buried in Key
West, one in Pittsburgh. and one in .SAl
Oaks. Iowa, accounting for a total of
257 of the $50 lost on the Maine.
The mainmast of the Maine, which has
recently been overhauled and painted, will
be transferred to Arlington under the
charge of the quartermaster department,
U. S. A. 1t is not definitely known at
this time whether it will go by way of
the Aqueduct bridge or by the Highway
bridge.
The matter of the design for the foun-
dalton of this mast is now under con-
sideration by the fine arts commission.
When the mast is finally erected it will
be unveiled with proper ceremonies.

PLEA FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Department Of Agriculture Shows
Value of Improved Roads.

Much of the nations waste would be
eliminated and one-third of the crops
of the country would not remain on
the farm as at present, causing a loss
Of many millions of dollars to the farm
ers, if there were a better system of
public highways in the United States,
according to a statement which has just
been issued by the Department of Agri-
culture.
AS result of an investigation Of the
economic value of improved roads, it has
been found that on the basis of a nine
billion-dollar crop. which was harvested
last year, at least one-third remained
upon the farm. Nevertheless. the con-
sumers paid about $4,000, csc, COO for the
50, OOO, OO08cO worth of products sold by
the farmers. the latter receiving only ii
per cent Of what the consumers paid. The
distribution of the $4,000, 100000 paid by
the public is shown to have been as fol-
lows:
Received by the producers, $6,00O.-
100000, or 461 per cent; allowing for a
reasonable expense of selling. and
dealers and retailers profits, $4.945,-
100000, or SS.l per cent; waste under
existing methods, $1.56O. 0O0. coo, or Il
per cent; received by the railroads.
$495. 100000, or 3.S per cent. Total
5000, 600, 600.
On the basis of these figures which have
been furnished him, Logan Waller Page
director of tile Office of public roads, has
concluded that il the roads of the cotln-
try were put into better shape and prop
erly maintained, it would be possible fol-
| farmers to get to shipping. points at all
seasons of the year. and in this way one
third Of the crop harvested would not re-
main on the farms to go to waste, as al
present. The farmer would use what he
needed and ship the balance.
| If he receives $4,000, 900 600 for two
| thirds Of his products, he would receiv,
| close to $1,000. 100000 for three-thirds. or
| in other words. the income of the farme
would be largely increased while thu
prices to the consumer would be lowe
because of the increased supply tina
| would reach the city markets. On Thu
basis. Mr.. Page figures good roads woult
| soon pay for themselves.
