DEMOuNTABLE RAFT T

Unique Vessel Composed Of Mil

Construction of "demountable" RATS
OF ships is being undertaken in Cam

ened much interest among lumber
shippers In this country, some Of
whom have the same problems to
meet that confront the trade In the
Dominion. The British timber con-

announces that q practical test Is
about to be made Of shipping 1t TO
England by way Of the Panama canal
In a solid mass held together by In
Vulnerable heavy iron bolts. 1t Is
thought quite possible that this ex-
pertinent will succeed.
For some years there was used on
the Pacific coast a wire bound log raft
for g-distance tows. In structure
1t differed very slightly from the pro-
posed ~demountable craft. The latter
Is to be much more like a real ship
than was its f%orerunner, drawing

freeboard nearly half as great. The
wire raft was small In comparison,
the new contrivance carrying, or, more
properly speaking, containing, three
to five million feet of timber. And
everything ON board except the en-
CINE will be sold In England. The
iron rods which will hold the raft to-
gether are expected to find a good
market there.
There was much trouble at first In
placing the engine, for no engine room
could be contrived. Ii was decided 10
bolt II down to the deck and to leave
a hollow space aft for fuel. supplies
and living quarters for the crew.
When the d~emountable raft arrives In
England the engine will be shipped
back to British Columbia. The reason
for the raft Is a lack of tonnage and
high freight rates, which have ham
pered the industry In Canada for
years.

Dr. Fred Fisher of New York, who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary OF the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
tion to the job of mobiliZing Method
ism in Columbus, June 20 to July 13
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $4,000 committeeman of
the Methodist Church, he says: eve
must stress four things. First, this
Will be a big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists of the United States
have lived more in the past year than
in any 10 previous years of their ex-
istence. Now is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory.
In the second place, this is an op-
pOrtunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities OF
which they have been talking for the
past year, but of which they have no
personal knowledge. Of these $4,000
men. only a negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity of going
abroad At the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third, this is the time to finish
the JOB to gather inspiration and in
formation TO enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out for the next four years.
Fourth, and most important of all,
if the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back of it hold,
it must be the inspiration for plan
ming work for the next century. AS
we look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gather
new faith and new zeal for enter
priSes that can be measured only in
terms of another century. We must,
in word, weld ourselves together in
a great spiritual purpose to strike
the bulls eye"
DR.. Fisher indicated that $50 train
ed executives, in addition to the 7S,-
600 volunteer workers, will stimulate
interest III the Centenary Celebration
during the next six weeks.

NEW ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM
Amount of Money Available for Fed
eral Aid Largest Ever Set Aside
by Any Nation.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
With full state cooperation accord
ing to the terms of the federal aid
road act, the United States will have
a total of at least S574, 100000 for CO.
operative road building during the next
three years The federal part of this
fund is assured by an extra apprOpria-
ton of $209, 100000 in the post office
appropriation bill just passed by con-
gress and signed by the president.
Officials of the bureau of public
roads, United States department of ag-
riculture, which administers the pro-
visions of the federal aid road act
and cO-OperateS with the state govern
ments in the expenditure Of the money,
point out that this amount of funds is
the largest ever appropriated for SINH
lar purposes and for a similar period
by any government in the history of
the world, and that it enables the fed
eral and state governments to carry
out rOad-building program Of mag
nitude never equaled.
In connection with the great federal
aid program it is also noted that ex-
penditureS for highway work in the
United States this year are likely to
amount to half a billion dollars or
more. On reports received from state
highway departments, the bureau of
public roads estimates the 1919 eX-
pemditureS for roads and bridges at
$3S5,O0O.OOO or $11OOOO,OOO more than
the average expenditures for 1916 and
1917.
An important effect of the law con-
tanning the new appropriation is that
it brOadens the definition of a rural
post road, under which class a high
way had to qualify in order to receive
the benefits of the federal aid act.
Under the old act it was required
that mail should actually be carried
on the road or that there should be a
reasonable prospect that mail would be
carried on it within a short time after
Improvement. The new act says:
g. the term rural post roads
shall be construed to mean any
public road, a major portion of which
