Check on Local Bills.
There was bit Of break in the
monotony of local bills being snug
glcd through in the guise of delega-
ton or county matters. Messrs Miley
and Boyd may not ingratiate them
selves with some members to whose
little bills they are objecting, but they
are right and with little help, If not
this year, later on, they can save
thousands to the State by blocking
strictly local bills that ought to be
combined in general measures. Some
one is to be blamed for this being a
record year in local bills-rural po-
lice, magistrates, salaries, school fees,
weighers and every sort of county af-
fair not being consolidated into one
general bill upon particular line.
Too Much "COurtesy."
The courtesies and amenities Of one
delegation to another-you help me

this trouble by inviting suggestion on

Engineers Laugh at Obstacles.

Like the mining engineer, the build
ing engineer now finds practically no
problem in his field which he can not
solve, and the question Of excavating
for foundations for high buildings is
little more than routine matter.
Depth is no great hindrance, as has
been demonstrated in New York For
the greatest office structure in the
world, on the site of the Equitable
building, destroyed by fire, the engi-
neers dug and blasted far below the
street, and at depth Of eighty feet
found rock bed around the entire
site for the more important base OF
the foundation. 1t is on this bedrock
that the mighty cofferdam, which will
form the true middle of a foundation
covering over $4,000 square feet, will
be built. The cofferdam itself, when
complete, will be solid concrete wall,
six feet broad and eighty feet deep,
or reinforced by heavy
steel rods.

BAMBOO AS PAPER MATERIAL
Experiments Being Made With tho
Hope That This Material May
Be Found Available.

Inventors are seeking substitute
for the wood pulp in the manufacture
of paper. So far various methods
have been tried to produce the coarser
grades OF paper from corn husks.
grass, reeds and other forms Of veg
etable life, but print paper has not
yet been successfully produced from
anything except wood pulp.
In the far east they are making ex-
periments with bamboo as a possible
basis for the making OF pulp. Some
capitalists of the Orient have gone so
far as to establish factories in Siam,
Burma and India, but the undertaking
has not yet been altogether successful
The great factor against the success
of the enterprise in India seems to be
the question Of satisfactory and cheap
transportation.
Pulp SO far manufactured has had
the fault OF being too dark In color to
bring a satisfactory price. Bamboos
most Of the time so far have cost $3.41
gold ton. Little of the product so
far has been sold, but samples sub
mitted In London indicate that the
company may receive as high as $58.27
gold ton. The maximum output OF
the factory SO far has not exceeded
half Of the original expectation of Is
tons of pulp day, but 1t is now ex-
pected that with small addition to
the plant normal output OF ~ tons
can be maintained and that this rate
may be exceeded in time. with com
paratively little additional expense.
The critical feature OF the entire
enterprise seems to be in the matter
Of bleaching the pulp. Experts claim
for bamboo pulp certain advantages,
among which is the fact that bamboo
pulp can be had In parts of the world
where other pulp materials are not to
be had; it produces fine pulp which
felts readily and produces thick
Opaque paper Of greater thickness
than usual for its weight, making 1t
especially suitable for particular va
rieties Of paper; the fine flexible fiber
is easily digested by the ordinary BIZ
sulphide process and the bamboo can
readily be handled mechanically and
chemically.
