CONCRETE PAVING.

The city commission probably did
right in overruling the board of local
improvements and permitting owners
in the Highland Park addition to have
concrete paving. as they desired. Rock
Island people have long wished to see
some samples of this kind of roadway
and the board has fought it with a
persistence entirely unwarranted by
the facts on the surface. The district
between Twentieth and Twenty-second
streets and Sixteenth and Eighteenth
avenues is certainly an ideal place to
make an experiment, II such IL may be
termed. The stretches of street to be
improved are short and there will
never be much heavy traffic over them,
heavy vehicles with steel tires being
about the only ones which can do any
damage TO concrete paving when prop
erly laid.
Certainly the property owners are
entitled to have what they want under
such circumstances and the plea for
does not carry much weight
when asphalt is demanded to connect
with brick pavement on the east and
west. Nobody but the property own
ers can suffer If a mistake is made.

FLOWING WITH ONE HAND.

The Mexican peon never has had a
chance to become a landowner, so no
one can say whether or not he will be-
come a successful small farmer. But
the experiment has got to be tried,
says the Christian Herald. The wants
of the peon are so simple that some
persons believe that, when he once
gets his land, he will not cultivate 1t
to the extent to which IL should be
cultivated. Corn and beans are the
chief crops. Ninety-five per cent of
the total of the whole Mexican popu-
lation may be said to rely on corn as
the staff of life. Cultivating corn in
the primitive way is a very simple mat
ter, but it does not secure anything
like the full productiveness of the land
The Mexican peon still clings to the
old-fashioned wooden-pronged pillow,
which merely scratches the surface of
the soil. It requires the use of only
one hand. Progressive landowners
have found it extremely difficult to get
the poems to use a two-handled mod
ern pillow of the simplest pattern. Per
haps, when he has Land for himself, the
peon will become more progressive.
Anyhow, he must be given the chance
to try what he can do with the land.

TELLS OF FIGHT FOR THE ARSENAL

passing that point we knew that the
point of no quorum would be raised,
and a call of the house ordered and
the question would finally be decided
by a lot of members coming hurriedly
from their offices and committee
rooms, who had not heard one word
of the debate and when they arrived
on the floor would merely ask what
Is the recommendation of the COM
mittee, the rule almost universally
observed in such cases being to vote
with the committee.
I'VE actually carried the amend
ment on the floor on the first vote,
being Al to 40, but on the point of no
quorum being made and a fuller at
tendance secured. they outnumbered
us. so that there is no hope of getting
this appropriation at this session, par
ticularly as we have not a recon-
mendation OF the war department to
back us in our demands, and without
that it is impossible to do anything at
the senate end; but / think that our
fight has been worth while, because it
concentrated attention on the Rock
Island arsenal and we made them all
admit in debate that 1t was the best
plant owned by the government and
that it would be wise policy to con-
centrate the activities of the govern
ment there as much as possible"

An interesting letter from Repre-
sentative Henry Vollmer of Daven'
port. describing the fight made on the
floor of the house by Vollmer and
Representative Clyde II. Tavenner OF
this district, for the equipment of a
shop at the Rock Island arsenal for
the manufacture OF field artillery am
munition, has been received by Secre-
tary Norwood of the Greater Daven-
port committee. In his letter Mr..
Vollmer says:
MY Dear Mr.. Norwood: i presume
that you have noticed the result of
the fight on the Tavenner amendment
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
the amendment which was knocked
out, providing for the equipment of a
shop on Rock Island arsenal, for the
manufacture OF field artillery ammuni-
ton. You who are familiar with the
way things are done down here. will.
OF course. understand that we had no
hopes OF accomplishing anything
more at this session than we did &C
complish.
MIR. Tavenner and I did not de-
ceive ourselves as to our chances of
getting the amendment through. We
scarcely dared to hope that we would
win out on the floor as against the
dictum of the powerful appropriations
committee; and If we did succeed In

At the thirteenth census (1910)
there were 1876, 223 persons 10 years
of age and over engaged in gainful
occupations in the United States, in
Guiding Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and the military and naval stations
abroad. The gainful workers thus form
ed AIS per cent of the total population
(93, 402, 151) enumerated at that CEN
sus. These figures are contained in
report on occupations which has
just been published by Director Will
liam ]. Harris. of the bureau of the
census, department of commerce. The
report was prepared under the super
vision of William c. Hunt, chief sta
tistician for population.
In continental United States alone
the gainful workers numbered 3S,167,
1886, which was Ais per cent of the
total population (91 ,972 1860 and 53.3
per cent of the population 10 years of
age and over al ,5SO,270). In the male
population the gainful workers num-
bered 3O,O91 ,564, which was 63.6 per
cent of all males and S1.3 of the males
10 years OF age and over. In the fe-
male population the gainful workers
numbered S,075,772, which was ISL
per cent of all females and PA per
cent OF the females 10 years of age
and over. Thus, in the total popula-
ton of the United States, over two
fifths OF all persons, considerably over
three-fifths of all the males, but con-
siderably less than one-fifth of all the
females, were engaged in gainful oc-
equations in 1910; and in the popula-
tin 10 years of age and over, more
than one-half of all persons, over four
fifths OF the males. but less than one
fourth of the females, were gainfully
occupied.
The proportion of the total popula-
ton engaged in gainful occupations
increased gradually from 34.7 per cent
in 1880 to Ais per cent in 1910, the in
crease being least rapid from 1890 to
1900 and most rapid from 1900 to 1910.
OF the male population, the proper
ton engaged in gainful occupation in
creased from SIS in 1880 to 63.6 per

lation, the proportion increased dur
ing the same period from 10.7 to ISL |

WOOL AND THE TARIFF.

During the recent conference of wool
producers and manufacturers held in
Washington, figures were presented in
the senate showing that wool was
bringing higher prices in Oregon than
at any time in the last % years, with
the exception of two years. The show
ing was made by Senator Chamberlain.
of Oregon. Senator Shoots comment
was interesting. Were it not" he
said, for the fact that there is short
age of 24O,OOe.0O0 pounds of wool in
the world, these figures would not be
presented" No doubt the senator
from Utah was a good deal embar-
raised. For he was one OF the builders
of the late, unlamented schedule X,
and he. almost more than anyone else,
insisted that free wool would ruin the
wool grower. But it has not done so.
On the contrary, prices have increased
to such an extent as TO curtail buying
orders.
The clip, at least in the far west, is
undoubtedly considerably smaller this
year than last But suppose the price
OF wool had gone down. and that 1t was
shown that there had been an increase
of 240,000.000 pounds in the supply
would Senator Smoot have accepted
the explanation. asks the Indianapolis
News. He assuredIy would not. but
would have charged the low price TO
free trade in wool. AS IL is now, he is

the influence OF demand and supply as
price regulators. At least II may be
said that Providence has been good to

go before the audiences OF farmers
and tell them that the tariff has re-

existence OF any other factors-the
democrats can point TO wool. and they

prices are all the growers could ask.

ELECTRICITY OPERATES
LARGEST MINE.

The worlds largest coal mine at No
komis, Ill, is operated entirely by cleo
tricity. The electricity is purchased
from the Central Illinois Public Ser
vice company. being transmitted 2S
miles at $4,000 volts from the general
ing station at Kincaid. Transformers
and motor-generators change this en-
ergy into direct current for operating
the main mine-hoist motor, which is
rated at 1900 h. p. and is operated at
$50 volts. Thirty electric coal-mining
machines are used, and also ten 5-ton
electric locomotives and two 15-ton
main haulage locomotives The main
ventilating fan is driven by 49, h. D.,
440-volt induction motor, and all auxil-
larry equipment throughout the mines
is electrically driven. The Nokomis
mine, when working at full capacity,
is capable of an output OF 5000 tons a
day.

| from 1877 per cent in 1880 to S1.3 per
cent in 1910, while the proportion of
gainful workers in the female popula-
ton 10 years of age and over increased
from 14.7 to 23.4 per cent.
In the several states the proportion
of the population 10 years of age and
over engaged in gainful occupations
in 1910 ranged from 46.9 per cent in
Iowa to 6S per cent in Mississippi. The
states having the smallest proportions
were Iowa, 46.9 per cent; Kansas, AZ
per cent; Nebraska, Az per cent;
Utah, 47.9 per cent and Indiana, As
per cent. The states having the larg-
est proportions were North Carolina
60 per cent; Georgia, els per cent;
Wyoming, 63.6 per cent; Nevada, 64.3
per cent; Alabama, 64.7 per cent;
South Carolina, 67.6 per cent and Miss
issippi, 6S per cent. Except in three
states-Ari1ona, Montana and North
Dakota-there was an increase from
1900 to 1910 in the proportion of the
population 10 years of age and over en-
goged in gainful occupations. The
states showing the largest increases
were Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Mississippi, Nevada. North Carolina,
South Carolina and Texas.
Practically one-third (332 per cent?
of all gainful workers in the United
States in 1910 were engaged in agri-
culture, forestry, and animal husband
~, and considerably more than one
fourth (27.9 per cent? were engaged in
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries. Thus over three-fifths of all
gainful workers were occupied in these
two general divisions of occupations
The remaining two-fifths of the work
ers were distributed among the other
seven large classes of occupations,
namely, extraction of minerals, trans
portation, trade. public service, pro-
fessional service, domestic and person
a; service, and clerical occupations,
no class furnishing employment to as
many as 10 per cent of all gainful
workers. For the males, as for both
sexes combined, agriculture, forestry
and animal husbandry gave employ |
ment to the largest proportion of the !
gainful workers, 36.1 per cent, and |
manufacturing and mechanical indus |
tries ranked second, with 29.4 per cent. |
Domestic and personal service was the |
principle field of employment for fe-
male workers in 1910, BIB per cent of |
them being engaged in this branch of |
occupations, as compared with 22.4
per cent in agriculture, forestry and |
animal husbandry, and 22.5 per cent in
manufacturing and mechanical indus
