STARVING AMERICANS
FED FROM DUMPS"
WHILE RICH SHOW OFF

A few weeks ago the Capitalist Rob
bers of Chicago held a great bluff and
buster Pageant of Progress" to show
the progress and prosperity of the
present. II was an outward attempt
TO show on the surface that everything
Is all right, nothing is the matter with
the present.
While this pageant was in progress
the police we're called to South Water
street, Chicago. TO put down riots and
disturbances which resulted when
poverty stricken workers desperately
fought over decayed fruit and yeget-
ables thrown out on the dumps"
from the commission houses. These
commission houses took part in the
Pageant Of Progress and they also
permitted this same fruit and veget-
ables to rot and then be thrown upon
the dumps in preference to giving II
to the unemployed, starving workers
of Chicago.
An enterprising photographer made
a picture OF the scenes and offered
, them to the city editors of every daily
paper in Chicago. In each instance
the pictures were turned down and
one of the editors said IL would not
do to print such pictures while the
pageant was on.
Rioting over rotten food on the
dumps" by the starving unemployed
OF Chicago Is an indicator of the pro
gress in that city and this whole coun.
try at the present time.

NEW DEVICE TO
GAGE HIGHWAYS

An ingenious device. perfected by
the bureau of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture. will disclose
what happens under a roadway as
traffic passes over it. This unique
instrument was developed to ascertain
what thickness of roadbed is required
for light or heavy traffic on various
kinds OF soil.
The device measures. ut desired
distances, how the burden of traffic
is distributed through the roadbed to
the soil on which il rests. .
When facts have been fully OBJ
tanned and the traffic burden on the
nearby and underlying soil can be cor
rectly measured, it is expected to
prove invaluable to roadmakers as
to the proper thickness of the roads
they should construct on varying kinds
OF subsurfaces.
The tests are being conducted at the

PITTSBuRG-L1BERTY. OLDEST

lease and option on the Pittsburg-

ers, r. ]. Conway, ]. +. Fredcricks,
Judge p. r. Parker and J. NJ. Bryan
and Fl. C.Barncs, 1t is understood
that the purchase price was $35,OOC
and that first payment OF $500
was made upon the signing OF the
lease. says the Bridgeport Chronicle
Onion
This property is one of the Oldest
mines i'll the camp of Masonic and
has produced several hundred thous-
ands of dollars. At one time the
Geo Winglield interests had an OPP
ton on the property, but the owners
and leasers could not agree on the
terms so the deal was called off.
Since that time the property has been
mined only in desultory manner,
although the opinion prevails that
there is large body OF good ore i'll
the mine.
Those who worked the property in
the past ran into a ''bluc mud" some
say it is schist, others claim it to be
a clay. but whatever it is it scared
the owners and they have never PEN
Grated the fault to find what was OH
the other side. Ore that ran into the
thousands has been taken out along
with ore that would run but few
dollars per ton.
Surrounding the Pittsburg- Liberty
mine is vast mineralized belt. which
