(Mohave Miner, Nov. 29)

The county highway commission
and the assistane state engineer,
Lieut.. O'Connell, returned last We'd
nesday from the trip north Of the Col
orado river, where they went ten days
ago to look into road building matters.
Lieut. O'Connell, while absent, made
arrangements for another survey
camp at the north bridge site and will
put another engineer in charge. This
outfit will not only survey the ap-
proach to the bridge from the north,
but will also carry the survey of the
highway to the Utah line, where it
will meet the survey Of the concrete
highway that Utah is to build south
from Salt Lake.
The Mohave county highway COM
mission, composed of o. D. M. Gaddis,
J. w. Ward, w. K. Ridenour, James B.
Uncapher, and engineer R. H. Hay
ward, went over the route from the
Utah line to the river and looked over
other proposed roads to meet the big
thoroughfare that will give the entire
territory north of the Colorado river
an outlet. These gentlemen were
more than pleased with the country
passed over, finding it to be rich in
everything that goes to make coun-
try worth while. It has great valleys,
we'll grassed and well watered, one Of
the greatest pine forests in the coun-
try, and the richest of Soils. At the
present time it is a terra incognito,
but with the building Of splendid
highway in there it will bring millions
of dollars into the Golfers Of the coun-
ty in the way Of increased taxes. No
part of the state has the possibilities
of this section of the county. 1t has
the lands, it has the timber, it has the
possibilities of great irrigation pro-
jects and there is an almost certainty
of oil development along the border
lands of Utah. 1t will be able to get
hydro-electric power at small cost
which will make possible the pumping
of water and the development of
power consuming devices for all man
ufacturing purposes.
Ask one of the men who went on
this trip into the "Strip" and he will
at once wax eloquent of the big things
that he saw there.

WINTER NIGHTS.

aAT INTER has unpleasant features, as all honest
~ men admit; when it comes, half frozen crea-
lures are inclined to throw a fit. When big
chunks of snow are whizzing on the bosom of the
blast, and the blizzard comes a-bzzing people sigh
and say, "Dod Cast" But for all the beasty wealth
er there is recompense at night, when we camp a
round together by the CRATE fire, glowing bright
Father sits and reads story, and he chortes as he
rocks; mothers feeling hunhydory, while she darns
a pair of socks and the little sons and daughters
play around until they're tired; they have put away
the swatters that the summertime required. There
are sounds of joyous laughter there is happiness ga
lore though the tempest shakes the rafter and comes
at the door Oh, this is an hour enchant-
ing, for our compensation meant, and old winters
widest ranting cannot scare us worth cent. And
he thunders in his Madness and we hear him roaring
bass, but our hearts are full of gladness, and we
chuckle in his face.

BLOW AT OCEAN SHIPPING

~ HE conditions which the Esch-Pomerene
bill would impose upon non-railroad owned
coastwise steamship lines would be OF
such an infexible and onerous character that some
of them at least would undoubtedly withdraw their
steamers from the coastwise trade, "said A. f.
Haines, ce-president and general manager of the
Admiral line.
The Elsch-P Pomerene bill would place common
carriers in the coastwse trade under the jursdlc-
ton of the interstate commerce commission.
'The bill is illogical, well as unfair" said Mr.
Haines "It is illogical because it assumes that ships
operate on the same conditions railroads. 1t is
unfair because it picks out only certain classes OF
vessels for restrictive handcaps, leaving other YES
els in the same trades to resort to any cutthroat
tactics they see fit.
eff deemed absolutely necessary that there be
rate regulations of water carriers in the coastwse
trade then such provision could best be accomplish
ed by separate measure, which would take into ac-
count all the complexities and difficulties of water
transportation not involved in transportation by rail
Certain provisions of the bill intended to apply
only to coastwise shipping will operate to limit in
vestment in American ships for engagement in for
eign trade, as WE'LL Coupled with other restrictive
features which may be admirable as applying to rail
roads, the bill would constitute such repressive
policy for American shipping as to prove an insur-
mountable handicap to it's Development After hav-
