I construction of 30 additional stamps to the Ready Bullion mill is un- der way. A mill having a daily capacity of about 5000 tons was completed in February at the AL taska-Gastineau mine and operated for the rest of the year. Power is furnished by a hydroelectric plant on Salmon creek. Another plant, the Anuex power project, is under construction on TaBu Arm. The mill of the Alaska-Juneau mine was operated during the year, The construction of a larger mill - part of the original plan for the equipment of this property - has been begun. This mill includes four units, each having a daily capacity of 2,OOO tons. HydrOelectric power is to be used, supplemented by an oiI-burning plant. Developments were continued on the properties of the Alaska Gold Belt, Alaska Taku, and Alaska Tresure mining com panies, all of which are near Ju- ueau.
 The Eagle River mine was operat- ed during the year, and a little pro ductive mining was also done on the Peterson properties. Develop meuts were continued on the Yankee and Montana and other pro- pcrties north of Juneau and at the Enterprise on Limestone Inlet, south Of Juneau.
 Tn the Berners Bay region the Ju- alin mine was productive during the year, and the installation of new power house was nearly con- pIeted. HydroeIectric power is to be used, supplemented by an oil- burning plant. A group of claims, including the old Kensignton, Bear, and Comet mines, in the Berners bay region, has been consolidated, and the installation of equipment was begun.

The Civil Service Question.
(New Haven Journal-Courier)

(New Haven Journal-Courler).
 For the most part, the answers which Professor Henry w. Farnam' nresident of the Connecticut Civil Service Reform Association, has been e1ici+ing from nominees for the gen. eral assembly to the question of what thev would do for civil service in event of their election, have been H. ;uminating. Among some of the nominees the tendency of the presl- dential candidate of their political faith to avoid prediction promises has a tendency to crop out. In passing it is difficult to see wherein promises of good performances can work to the embarrassment Of any sincere and honest man. But the striking result of the question which President Farnum has put to these candidates is the readiness of the democracy nominees to exert the1r utmost influence toward the restora" tion of the merit system. There, Is every reason why they should so nronise. It was not dem ocratic op-F nosition that resulted in the emascu- lation of the civil service law in tho year 1915. The amendment that then rendered the Connecticut civil serv- ice law ineffective did not represent the sentiment of the party of which these men are now the candidates. It is, therefore, natural that they should stand definitely committed to a restoration of the civil service law of 1913 to the statute books. Voters of this state will do we'll to bear this fact in mind next Tuesday when they go to the polls to give expression to their intelligent preferences and hon. est convictions.

It was under a high pro- tective tariff that the men walked the streets and not under a tariff that was given the people because of the peoples demands. If MT. P. Davis Oakley is to be returned on what his record in Congress produces, then he must go back. not as the representa- tive of all the people of this district, but as the representative of those very few who place sectional and local in terests above the national honor. It was this same Oakley who voted with the 107 Republicans in Congress on the McLemore resolution to relinquish all American rights on the high seas. The score is heavy against Oakley.

RUILDING ROADS.
With an Insight of How They do That
 Sort of Thing in This Country.

Three men were riding in an auto mobile along the South Country road of Long Island at a point where it has received a cement surface, six teen feet wide. One was a highway engineer, one was @ scientist of Ger man birth and training, one was an official of a western state.
 Fine road" said the westerner. T wonder how long it will last"
 The highway engineer rubbed his chin and replied that no one knew exactly. All would depend upon the amount and character of the traffic, the speed at which it travelled and the frequency and nature of repairs.
 Aren't these things known?' asked the German scientist with sur prise. No, the engineer told him, they weren't. Present day motor traffic is too new a development.
 We know that heavy motor traf- fic will destroy macadam in no time,'' said the engineer. "As for the relative durability of brick and concrete we know little as yet. In fact we don't know the precise amount of wear on given surface by varying amounts of traffic. We thint now that high speeds are more injurious than heavy loads, but tEe matter has still to be determined"
 "Out in my state $25,O0O,O00 has just been appropriated to build good roads," remarked the Westerner, 'and you know I am hero partly to get ideas as to how it may be spent most wisely. What you say Is discourag- ing; almost as discouraging as meet ing these other highway engineers who | bAT n c his favorite material, which, if you will believe him, always makes the best road under all conditions" "In Germany" observed the scien- tist, they would go about 1t lit | tie differently. Of your $25,OOO,OOO they would first spend perhaps S2,- 1 0O0, ,000 Or $3,000,000 in experiment tation. They would pave one mile of a roac with brick, another with concrete, another with wood blocks, and so on. They would spend months l or a year or two if necessary, sending l given traffic at given speeds over these surfaces. They would measure the wear and tear, if necessary invent1ng l mechanism for that purpose. Ihey 1 would find out that one ton loao' say, going aat twenty miles an hour | over a concrete road would wear It l off three -hundredths of an inch, or | four times as much one ton loao
 traveling at ten miles an hour They
 would have exact formulas for every variety of traffic, and by measuring
 the traffic on the road to be built they
 would know just what surface It
 needed and how long it would last.
 And they would never, never, never
 issue fifty year bonds to pay for ten
 year roads"
 "It ought to be done," conceded the highway engineer, and the westerner
 assented. Then the two looked at each
 other and at the sceintist. All three
 smiled and said almost in unison:
 "Rut vou could never get 'em to dD
 thai sort of thing in this country"
