Ire WAY Of Proaress.

The dog barking at a passing auto
mobile is generally supposed 10 be as
telling a symbol OF futile objection TO
the march OF progress as could well
be imagined. In almost the same
category. however, belongs the strike
OF the stevedores in Ne@ Orleans
against the introduction OF the cleo
trio truck 10 transport freight be
tween vessels and warehouses. The
wonder is that this Improvement has
been so long delayed instead OF only
now appearing then as a source
OF a new labor difficulty. One cannot
have much sympathy for opposition in
this particular instance. The motor
vehicle in all OF its forms has come
TO stay. and the rest OF the world has
been rather rapidly adjusting itself TO
the new condition.-Engineering Rec

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM. NATURAL GAS. COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
OF Western Canada have but added
another 10 the many previous eyi-
dences that have been produced.
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for SO many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there IS a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying helcs on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. IL is said that
one OF the wells is able 10 produce
1000 gallons an hour. II this is so
there are but about a dozen wells ia
the world OF greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries OF sur
face Indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion OF Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. while in Manitoba there have al
so been showings. At Battleford,

less. the story Will be told whether oil
exists In paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make OF Western Canada
one OF the wealthiest portions Of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches il is no wonder that
continued range OF optimism is 70 be
seen everywhere. Early reports OF
seeding Of all grains being successful
~ completed all over the country are
followed by reports OF excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week In June most OF the
wheat had reached a growth Of from
twelve TO twenty inches. with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well. and covered the
ground In a way that brought the
broadcast kind OF a grin to overspread
the farmers cOultenance.

Proud of Newport.

Dear Editor:
 The writer will return to his home in Newport on the 9th, from a IA days vacation in Illi- nois, Indiana, Ohio and Ken lucky. I have visited some large cities during the past two weeks. Some seems to be prospering while others are dull. I visited the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, on my return and stopped over at Bowling Green, Kentucky to view other scenery near by and was much interest ed in the great white way at that point.
 MT. Matthews of the light and power company was somewhat surprised when I told him of the beautiful concrete posts and massive arms we used in build ing the great white way at Newport.
 Bowling Green has many things to boast of. Even it's white way, but we in Newport, have them all beat. Our lights are larger than some, who use the five light system, and our posts are not only prettier, but are closer together.
 As I said before, some of the cities are very dull. In fact, there is but little general inn provement going on. Passing through Louisville, l noticed a number of buildings under construction, but among the smaller towns like the size of ours, we have them all beat II I tell you, old Arkansas is com
 ing to the front. One must
 leave and visit other towns anc
 cities before they can appreci ate how fast Arkansas really is
 growing.
 Yours truly, E. c. UTLEY.

Average Cost Of Maintenance IN France

So much Is heard about the excel
lence Of roads In England and France
that occasionally some consideration Of
their cost is helpful to a fuller appre-

der that systems Of equal merit ttraf-
&c requirements being considered, may
be developed here. says a writer In a
recent issue Of the Engineering Review.
The road mileage of France Is 371.-
OOO. and the cost. at a time when wages
were very. very low. was 81. 663 .OOO.-
coo. On this basis to secure q system
for the $1,000 miles OF highways in
Massachusetts would require the ex-
penditure of $1OO.OOO,OOO Moreover.
France spends $45.OOO.OOO per annum
q mile a year, a figure which. Of course,
as an average means very little. since
on the main roads q much greater
amount is spent and on the minor
roads considerably less. The minister
of public works. too, is recommending
that &5O.OOO.OO0 additional be provided
during the next ten or twelve years for
some bituminous binder on 5000 miles
Of national highways. where 1t Is great
" needed.

litino;s State Commission Has Deoided

The state highway commission will
purchase all the cement used to build
Illinois state aid roads" The men,
bers reached this conclusion recently
and have sent letters to cement compa-
MES asking for bids. The commission
hopes to insure the best quality Of ma
terials at the lowest possible cost. 1t
also will give the small contractor an
equal chance with the big operator in
road building. The plan to furnish ce-
ment to the contractors was reached
after an Investigation Of the conditions
In Wisconsin. California and Michigan.
where similar operations have been
successful.
I'VE believe the commissions plan
to purchase the cement will give the
small contractor who cannot afford to
buy In great quantities an equal chance
with the big operator who can" said
A. D. Cash. chairman of the commits
sion. in announcing the plan. When
eve a contractor bids on constructing
a piece OF road we will deduct from his
bid the cost Of cement. l believe also
that our plan will insure good mate
