.%HAT'S the Tire Question in

T\HAT's the Tire Question in
Nutshell .,. l., -, 49,.
the Tire Cost"-"how much Rubber is
in it"-"how many layers of Cotton
fabric"-or "how many different Vul-
canizings does it go through"
Because Results have shown that
some of the Tires which have most
Cotton, Rubber, Weight and stiffness,
give much less MILEAGE and Resit-
ience than other tires made lighter by
more expert workmen, through more
direct and precise Methods.
Nor is so-called mileage Guaran-
tee" worth considering in purchasing of
Tires.
Because no Tires are actually
guaranteed to give definite Mileage,
no matter what the surface reading
may suggest
Such Guarantee" would be imPrac-
ticable with the best Tire ever made,
or that ever will be made.
This, unless the Tire User could,
in turn, guarantee the kind of roads
ever which he would dltOdys drive, the
kind of dTioing his Chauffeur would
dlIDdys do, and the air pressure he
would alLDdys carry on each Tire.
TIME mileage Guarantee" is
therefore deceptive Misno-
mer.
It does not guarantee given Mile
age but is only a figure arbitrarily

 bowman to Stanley, 45 miles of road (12 repair and improvement, 33 new work).
 Gibbonsville to Bitterroot, 23 miles of road, (new work) and bridge.
 Total road to be constructed or inn proved; 415 miles.
 Estimated total cost of work, $500,- 900.
 Of the total mileage of 415 miles, which must be improved or construct ed, 95 miles are located within Nation al Forests in District 4, and comprise units in the plan or system of roads upon which the Forest Service is working. Ten per cent of the gross receipts from the National Forests are available by law for the construc- tion of roads within the National For ests. It is the aim of the Forest Ser vice to expend these funds upon roads which will be units in comprehen- sive system of state roads and it's work is carried on in cooperation with the State Road Commissioners of the various states. It is further super vised by representatives of the Feder- al office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering who are detailed to the district offices to handle the road work. This double cooperation has resulted in the construction of high grade roads at reasonable cost.
 The Forest Service is working to- ward the construction of 95 miles of the road necessary to make the inter national highway possibility. The remaining 320 miles must be built by the States, counties and cities which would be benefited by the road. The state of Idaho now has gang of con- victs working on one section near Higgins; the state of Utah now has or soon will have a gang of convicts working on the section between Kanab and Panguitch. The mileage of new work required and it's cost are small compared to the benefits which would be derived by road such as the one suggested. There is not a county, city or town along the route which cannot well afford to give this propo- sition their favorable attention and support.

It is a matter that is not in my hands. Sheriff Cash is on the ground and will afford what protec- tion is necessary" Whether the gov ernor meant that the Greenlee sheriff would afford protection to the strikers against the federal officials or protec- ton to the mining company's in per forming their work was not made clear.

U. s. STILL ROUNDING THE
 PRAIRIE DOG ID HIS HOLE

Washington, D. c. December 22.- The extermination of prairie dogs over large areas has been practically completed, according to the report of the Bureau of Biological Survey, just published by the United States de- partment of agriculture, and wide stretches of valuable grazing lands have ben entirely cleared of this pest. In national forest in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Oklahoma, more than 95 per cent of the prairie dogs have already been destroyed. Active campaigns are still in progress in Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, and Sounth Dakota, and in the Rio Grande forest in Colorado.
 The average cost of distributing poison on areas infested by prairie dogs has now been reduced to less than 5 cents an acre. In cases where reinfestation has made it necessary to go over the land again, the cost has not exceeded 3 cents an acre. Poisoned oats have been found to give the most consistent results, except in the Coco nino forest in Arizona, where spe- cies of blue-stemmed grass is abund- ant. The prairie dogs are so found of this that they care little for grain whether poisoned or not.
 The Biological Survey is also carry ing on work against ground squirrels, pocket gophers, jack rabbits, moles, mountain beavers, pine mice, and crawfish, as well as against wolves and coyotes in the west. The craw- fish, which are so injurious in parts of Mississippi and Alabama, can be kept away at an annual expenditure, it is estimated, of 25 cents an acre or

protect the birds the population in- creases rapidly.
 Of the new national bird reservation established during the past year, two are in Washington, and one in Min nesota. In all sixty-seven such reser- vations are now in charge of the de- partment. With few exceptions the conditions on them are said to be very favorable to the increase of bird life.

WOULD DESTROY WHOLE
 ARMIES BY ELECTRICITY

Nikola Tesla, the noted inventor and winner of the Noble Physics prize for 1915, has filed applications for patents on the essential parts of machine to make war electrically. His device is an engine that will paralyze or kill an enemy at any point on the earth's sur face. Ten miles or a thousand, it will be all the same to the machine, the inventor claims. Straight to the point on land or on sea, it will be able to go with precision, delivering blow that will paralyze or kill, as desired.
 That a man on tower on Long Island could shield New York against ships or army by working lever is the prediction of the inventor, if the full end of his hopes is realized.
 Dr. Tesla says it would be possible with his wireless mechanism to direct an ordinary aeroplane, manless, to any point, over ship or an army and to discharge explosives with electrical devices from the base of operations.
 "This idea is founded upon prin- ciple that means great things in peace and great things in war;" says Dr. Tesla. "With transmitters we are able to project electrical energy in any amount to any distance and apply it for innumerable purposes, both in peace and war. Through the universal adoption of this system, ideal condi- tions for the maintenance of law and order will be realized, for then the energy necessary for the enforcement of right and justice will be normally productive, yet potential and in any moment available for attack and de- fense. The power transmitted need not be necessarily destructive, for, if existence is made to depend on it, it's withdrawal or supply will bring about the same results as those now accom- plished by force of arms.
 "The art is already so far developed that great destructive effects can be produced at any point on the globe, determined beforehand and with great accuracy. In view of this, have not thought it hazardous to predict that the wars of the future will not be waged with explosives but with cleo erical means"
 Dr. Tesla insists there is nothing sensational about his new device, that it is but the fruition of many years of work and study. He is not yet ready to give the details of the engine which he says will render fruitless any mili- tary expedition aganst a country winch possesses it. All that could be learned definitely about it is that the destruct- i've invention will go through space with speed of 300 miles a second; a manless airship without propelling engine or wings, sent by electricity ] to any desired point on the globe.

less after the lands have been once thoroughly treated.
 While endeavoring to destroy these and other pests, the Bureau is also encouraging an increase of population of beneficial birds. The results of the second bird census in the spring of 1915 showed that bird life can be largely increased throughout the country. Where efforts are made to

WOULD JOIN CANADA ID MEXICO
 BY GREAT NORTH ID SOUTH HIGHWAY

The district Forest Service officials at Ogden, Utah, are much interested in bridging the Colorado river at Lee'' Ferry and completing a national high way from the Canadian line to Mexi co. The road would connect with tn, Douglas Grand Canyon road, if { bridge is built across the Colorado and join up the strip of country nortl of the Canyon that Coconino county has been at great expense in saving tC the state of Arizona, Both the stat, and national government would b' directly interested in the proposed bridge as it would be the means oi saving thousands of dollars annually to both aside from being the means ot a rapid development of that rich sec tion of the country.
 The article sent to Mir. c. J, Babbitt with a personal letter concerning the DiOJtNl lo lOliONos
 FeasabIe Route from Canada to Me,
 xicO Through Intermountain States
 The news that the Supervisors o1 Coconino county, Arizona, are serious ly considering the construction of g road from Tuba City, Arizona, by way Lees Ferry to Kanab has directed tho attention of the local members of the District Office of the Forest Service tc the fact that by the expenditure of g relatively small amount of money anC effort it would be possible to link Ca. nada and Old Mexico by an automobile route traversing the intermountair states. In scenic grandeur and gene ral interest, this route would surpass any of the highways, trails, routes etc, which have up to this time, beer established for the use of automobiles That it's construction would give re newed impetus to the See Americs First" movement and would very ma. terially contribute to the general pros. perity of the intermountain region is absolutely certain.
 The route which suggests itself most strongly is not the most direct route but the one richest in interest scenic beauty and comfort to the trav. eler. It would afford ready access to four state capitols: Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Boise and Helena; to two present National Parks, the Yellow. stone and the Glacier; to two pro posed National Parks, the Grand Can. yon and the Sawtooth; to the petri- fled Forest the Navajo Indian Reser, vation and the Canyon de Chelly ir Arizona; the most fertile and product. i've valleys of Utah, the garden spots of Idaho, and the parts of Montana of the highest scenic attraction. With it's pleasing diversity of mountain and plain and rapid changes in local colo, it would offer splendid attractions for the motor tourist in search of a months rest and recreation. The Grand Canyon can be reached from either the south or north side. From Flagstaff the distance to the Canyon is 70 miles. On the north the Forest Service has constructed a road 54 miles long within the Kibab Forest which makes it possible to motor from Kanab to Bright Angel point in three hours.
 The table of distances along the proposed route is as follows:
