READ in this issue the state Road
Commissions advertisement for contrac-
tors bids for 1856 miles of roads in var
ious counties-and then may the Re-
cording Angel be mercifully deaf to
things you say.
1t has only been a few short weeks
since the Commission was telling us that
they were going to adopt a new policy
roads of less expensive material and at
lower cost. Look over their advertise
ment and you will note that every road
in it calls for building of MACADAM
OR CONCRETE The same old story in
the same old way-and the people be
hanged.
causes the Commission to be so devoted
to macadam? 1t has only been few
weeks since down in the Office of the
State Road Commission they were telling
the writer of these lines that ''macadam
won't do; "macadam won't stand up
under the strain of modern travel" 1t
fact out in THIS State as they have
found it in other States. and to our sor-
rowful cost. 1t certainly has not the
merit of cheapness for our macadam
roads have been excessively costly"
Why then this devotion to macadam?
Or why this experimenting with con
stuff to lay down for country roads, and
concrete has certainly not proven itself
a particularly valuable material for road
building. The State Road Commission,
we must presume, are familiar with the
verdict pronounced on concrete as a ma
terial for the road bed of city streets.
They must know that that verdict has not
been particularly favorable; that in
adopting its use for State road building
they are adopting a highly expensive
and decidedly uncertain experiment.
Haven't we experimental most enough
with the peoples money in this road
building business? Getting a little patch
of road here and there throughout the
State in return for or 10 millions o.
dollars of cost ought to be most enough
in the way of experiment.
What has become of the present Com
missions announced purpose to turn to
a less expensive style of building, in or
der to secure a more extensive return in
mileage to the people?
We just ask. We have no expectation
of an answer. We have only eXpecta-
lions of an increasing tax rate to pay
for macadam that won't do and for
concrete that never did

WHAT HE DOES FOR CONDITION

Harry Smith, now American anna
teur ten-mile champion, near the
end of his long seige of training last
summer gave out the surprising facts
that he never drinks water. This at
first seems unworthy of belief, for
every athletic trainer will tell you
that water is a most important part
of the athletes diet Smith gives his
word of honor that he never touches
drop. He eats lots of vegetables
and drinks two mugs Of ale every
day. His mother is his trainer
where food is concerned, and she
carefully looks after his fare. An
article by a former track champion
inspired Smith to leave the qua pura
out of his diet when he took up run
ming. Smith considered that in his
individual case the advice has been
beneficial. In other respects Smith
is a model athlete and follows the
training rules laid down by the fore
most experts. He does not smoke,
and his drinking is confined to the
very moderate use of ale.

THE LARGEST BRIDGE

1t is prosposed to build suspen-
sion bridge to connect San Francisco
and Oakland, the structure to be 9
miles long and 1870 feet above the
waters of the bay 1t will have a
height of 11S feet from top to bot
tom, and width of 1870 feet. 1t
will contain twelve tracks for rail-
roads, two for vehicles and two for
pedestrians, and the estimated cost
is $26,000,000. 1t is, proposed to
have the cables rest upon steel piers
or caissons 800 feet long, 225 feet
wide and $50 feet in height above
the water. The one resting in deep
est water would be about $50 feet
from top to bottom when set in posi-
ton, allowing for it to be sunk 116
feet into the bed of the bay. The
plan contemplates building the piers
in drydock and towing them out to
where they are to be let down for
use.
The engineers estimate that the
bridge can be built in seven years
and it is proposed to bond San Fran
cisco and Oakland for about nine
million each, to start the work.

HARD ON PITCHERS.

Chief Wilson is to Jimmie Laven-
der what Hans Wagner Is to RUDE
Marquard, or in other words both
are what Joe Tinker is to Christy
Mathewson. The batting of the Tex
an against the Cub spitball artist last
season was something terrific, and it
about equaled the performance of
Hans Wagner against Vanguard. If
Wilson and Wagner always batted
against Lavender and Vanguard, res
pectively, they would be fighting it
out for batting honors each seeking
the edge over the other, with per-
centage of about .4S0 or Whereabouts
and a smuggling total of extra bases
that would beat anything in past re-
cords
Wagner cracked out three home
runs off Marquard last season, not
to mention a pair of three-baggers
and liberal sprinkling of ordinary
base hits, etc. Wilson did the very
same thing against Lavender, al
though his home runs won games
from the Cubs, while on the other
hand, Honus was unfortunate in the
fact that two of his three circuit
smashes off Marquard counted for
nothing as the Pirates lost.
Wilson's batting against Lavender
all season was something noteworthy
Three times on the Chicago grounds
the Texas man slammed one of Law
ender's spitters into the right field
pavilion, and the drives came at the
right time to. One of Wilson's wal
lops was on Sept. a, when the Cubs
still had a fine chance Of ousting the
| Giants. 1t was four-base smash
in the eighth inning with two rum
ners on bases that beat the Cubs.
Another came on Oct 3, Wilson's
homer in the eighth inning making

SMALL HANDS HURT PITCHER.

1t was the feminine size of his
hands which kept Cy Seymour from
being a great pitcher. When he first
Joined the New York Giants many
years ago he came as twirler, but
he found the greatest difficulty in
securing control of the ball, because
his hands are so small that he could
not get his fingers all the way
around the sphere. He was finally
forced to give up pitching entirely
and go to the outfield, where his hit
ting rather than his fielding kept
him in the game for long period of
years. Vincent Campbell the fast
center fielder of the Bostons, has the
same handicap as Seymour in regard
to the size of his hands. Campbell's
mitts are far below the average in
length and diameter, and the muffed
flies which he is guilty of are the
result of his physical handicap, to
a great extent. He is also not so
good thrower as he would be if
his hands were a bit more bulky
Campbell however, played better
ball last seaosn than ever before,
and President Gaffney of the Beans
believes that he is going to be very
valuable man for his club this sea-
one excelling him in getting down
son. Vincent is a speed marvel, no
to first base. But he has two weak
points in offensive work. He is
very poor waiter, and so does not
get on early so often as he would if
was able to force the pitcher to pitch
to him.

OF INTEREST TO TRRIGATORS.

One of the most practical bulletins
on irrigation that has ever been Is
sued has recently been published by
the Idaho State Engineers office
This bulletin was written by Don II.
Bark. Irrigation Engineer in charge
of U. S. Irrigation Investigations in
Idaho, and gives complete history
of the Duty of Water Investigation
that he has carried on for the State
and the Government during the past
three seasons.
This bulletin is a reprint from
State Engineer Robinson's nlneth
Biennial report and contains 80
pages that are especially full of in
formation that will be of use to Ida
no Irrigators The title of the pub
lication is Duty of Water Investi-
cation and this is gone into very ex-
tensively, the bulletin showing up the
amounts Of water that have been
applied and the yields that have been
secured from over 400 fields planted
to different kinds of crops in the
State of Idaho. A condensed table
is shown on page thirty-six which
gives the proper duty Of Water for
diversified crops on average south
Idaho soils. This Duty is 2 acre
feet per acre of which 16 per cent
must be supplied in May, 32 percent
each month during June and July
with an additional 16 percent In
August and less than percent dur
ing the month of September, only a
very slight amount being required
during the month Of April earlier
than which there is no need for wat
err
The bulletin explains carefully how
accurate measurement of irrigation
water can be made and include a
comprehensive table in giving the dis
charge of Cipoletti weirs in acre
feet per hour Idaho's climatic
conditions for the past three years
is shown both graphically and by
the means of tables in such a manner
that the variations of temperature
and precipitation may be seen at a
glance. The season Of 1910 was
shown % be a very dry one. while
the seasons of 1911 and 1912 had
considerably more precipitation thar
during normal years. It is showr
that only about one-third of the pre-

band of Blossom Selley, the vaude-

cipitation in Idaho occurs during the
growing season.
The sources of and the reasons for
loss and waste of irrigation water
are also shown up in striking man
ner. The principal losses of irrigat-
ion water are shown to take place
bv secpage from the canals them
selves, by surface wastes from the
fields and by deep percolat;on. 1t
was found that the loss Of irrigation
water from percolation to too great
debth was in some cases as high as
so nor cent of the amount applied
while the average loss from surface
waste on rather impervious soils was
found to be almost exactly 30 per
cent.
The seepage losses from canals are
gcuo into quite extensively in the
bulletin, a table included which
shows the seepage loss from So diff
ferent sections of different canals.
This loss runs from as high as So
per cent per mile where small
amounts are carried in farm laterals
to As little as o. of one percent per
mile on the largest canals. Where
porous irrigated land was found i'm
mediately above canal actual gain
in the discharge of the canal was ex-
perienced in some cases.
The bulletin shows in a plain but
striking manner that the loss sur
fered by evaporation from canals is
so small as to be almost negligible
in comparison to the amount that is
lost by seepage. Of the total loss
from canals by seepage and eyapora-
ton, the vaporation loss amounts to
one percent of the total loss from
seepage and evaporation.
The bulletin contains many other in
teresting factors that occur in con-
nection with irrigation that are not
generally known, and it is safe to
say that this bulletin is the best and
most practical on general irrigation
subjects that has ever been issued
in Idah
This bulletin should be in the
hands of every engineer canal man
ager and irr:gator in the State of
Idaho, for it shows just how much
water should be applied to the var
ious soils and crops in order to Sc
cure the largest possible yield. 1t
may be secured upon application to
