Road and Bridge Construction
Work

Madison, Wis. In his quarterly re-
port, Chief Engineer Hirst of the High
way Commission, says that the grand
total of all road constitution in Wiscon-
sin this year will be 8, 764.l miles, of
which $40 miles is concrete; 1912 miles
gravel; 81 miles top soil; 1909 miles
earth; gang maintenance 1904 miles
miscellaneous 72 miles.
A careful examination, says Mr..
Hirst, of the resources of the Commiss-
ion has been made and it appears that
there is no reason for change In its
activities this calendar year; or until "a
bout July l, 1922. In case there should
be no further provision by the Federal
Government for continuation of its
aid in highway construction, it will be
necessary to reduce our work in the
preparations of surveys and plans after
that date, and to reduce our overhead
organization about January /, 1923.
The amount of bridge work done this
year is greater in quantity and superior
in quality to that done in any previous
year. The cost of bridge work is about
one third below that of 1920 A further
reduction of 20 cents per barrel in
Portland cement la noted.
Plans and specification for $40 bridges
were prepared by the commission dur
ing the first nine months of this year,
by the commission staff. The estimated
total cost of these bridges of which Ill
will be built under Federal Aid, 128 un-
der State Aid and sol under County Aid
is 81, 245, loo. The aggregate length OF
these bridges will be 1873 feet, OF
close to three miles.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

To elect the president whose In
auguration took place March the
heaviest "battle of ballots ever
known was waged. The steady drop,
drop, drop of the pieces of paper by
which the American citizen registers
his voice In the conduct of the govern
ment began on November 2, in East
port, Me-, eastern-most community in
the United States, and continued un-
til some sixteen hours later when cleo
ton judges closed their booths in
Ozette, WASH, the presidential suf-
frage community farthest west.
The battle was not made greater
than those of 1912 and 1916 by any
Increase in the area over which it was
fought, for Arizona and New Mexico,
casting their ballots for President for
the first time in 1912. completed the

tension of the presidential suffrage to
every political unit between the two
oceans and the Canadian, and Mexican
torders except the District of Column

CUBA'S UP AND DOWNS OF
PROSPERITY

To understand the present economic
conditions in Cuba, complicated by the
recent presidential election, one must
take into account the prosperity wave
of IL year ago.
William Joseph Showalter who Wis
tied the island mt that time, wrote the
National Geographic society as fol-
lows:
almost every person who visits
Cuba on pleasure bent lands in Ha-
vana, and comparatively few get more
than twenty miles away from that
city's central park.
"If New York. Chicago. Phlladel-
phia, Boston and Washington were
consolidated, the resulting metropolis
would bear about the same relation to
the United States that Havana bears
to Cuba. The capital city Is the home
of more people than are embraced In
the combined populations of all the
other cities and towns of the Republic
that have more than 1000 inhabitants
Its closest rival is Santiago. but that
city has only one-tenth as many
people.
"As half the country's urban popu-
lation is centered in Havana. so also
is half of its shipping. The city nor
mally handles greater foreign ton
mage than any other port in the West
ern Hemisphere except New York.
Most of Cuba's wealthy families
have Havana homes.- During the past
four years the net profits of the sugar
business have probably exceeded the
gross returns of any other four-year
period in the history of the island
THE result is that perhaps no other
city in the whole world has proper
tionately as large wealthy popula-
tiOn as Havana.
"Out of these. conditions grew a sit
uation where dollars We're even cheap
er than they were in the United
States. Tens of thousands of acres of
land were laid out in residence sites,
and the Vedado district, the Riverside
Drive and the Sheridan Road of Ha-
vana, were extended until 1t reached
farther from the Prado than Riverside
Drive from New York's City Hall
Square or Sheridan Road from Chi
cago's loop.
''There are no advertising signs on
these lots. But as one motors along
one sees nesting close to the ground
inconspicuous little boards. about a
foot long and half a foot wide, bearing
the legend IN Spanish Sold TO Mr.. So
and So and Mr. So and So is usually
some Cuban who made Il fortune out
of sugar down in the provinces and
came up to the capital for the social
season. If not that, he is probably
an American who likes to be reason
ably near the country clubs, and pre-
fers to live where the cocktail has not
lost its legal status. The price of the
lots was from ode to three dollars Il
square foot, or from $4,000 to $13O,ooO
per acre"
The Colorado statesman., 1921-03-12

bla. Tho battle was Increased In mag
nltude. however, by the extension of
suffrage to women In the many states
which did not permit them To vote In
previous elections.
This greatest OF election struggles
took place in an area Of approximate
ly 3,0OO,,uO square miles, under condi'
tlous varying from the frosty weather
Of the Canadian boundary and possible
snow storms of the higher communi'
ties of the Rockies, To the burning
sunshine OF Key Wesr and some OF
the cities and villages of the south
western border.
Ballot boNes-emblemS OF American
soverelgnty-were set up In the hearts
of great cities, In villages, In wayside
school houses; on Isolated Islands. in
pockets of the great woods; fur up
among rough peaks, and below the
level of the sea; In many cases In
communities which lie behind great
natural barriers that cut them on
physically from other settlements. And
yet. because of the telephone and tele-
graph wires that extend Into nearly
every community, and wireless com
munlcation that supplements them
most American citizens learned the
results from the far-hung battle line
at their breakfast tables next morn
ing. Indeed. impatient followers Of the
returns knew the results before mid
night reading reports flashed on
screens before newspaper offices In
countless cities and towns.
II was far different, paradoXical as
II may seem at first sight, during the
early presidential elections In which
popular voting figured, in spite of the
fact that practically all voters were
east of the Mississippi river and most
of them In the States along the At
lantIc seaboard. Lacking electrical
means of communication and rail-
roads, and having but poor highways
and vehicles. the country was often In
ignorance of the candidates elected for
weeks after the election.
The contrast cannot be carried back
TO elections when the United States
was confined to its original thirteen
members along the narrow strip of
coast country, for In those days the
voter and the campaign manager had
not come into their own. The choosing
of president was IL partyless, cam
paignless and-so far as most of the
"men in the street. were concerned
"a voteless affair. Legislatures saved
voters from the bother of casting bal
lots by appointing electors and the lat
ter chose II president.
The Colorado statesman., 1921-03-12

GUAM: WHERE FISH ARE
CAUGHT IN STRANGE
FASHION

Should the United States acquire
the much discussed Island of zap, the
Island of Guam will be robbed of its
distinction of being our smallest pos
session. Guam lies east Of the Phil
ippines and northeast of zap.
A writer to the National Geographic
society describes the customs and nat
ural resources of Guam as follows:
"trhe fruit of common tree (Bar-
rlngtonia speciosa) the natives use TO
stupefy fish.
"The fruit is pounded into a paste,
inclosed in bag, and kept over night.
The time of an especially low tide Is
selected, and bags of the pounded fruit
are taken out on the reef next morn
ing and sunk in certain deep holes in
the reef. The fish soon appear on the
surface, some of them llfeless, others
attempting to swim, or family strug-
Cling with their ventral side upper
most. The natives scoop them in their
hands, sometimes even diving for
them.
in the mangrove swamps when the
tide is low hundreds of little fishes with
protrudlng eyes may be seen hopping
about. in the mud and climbing among
the roots of the Rhizophora and Bru-
guiera. These belong to group of
fishes interesting from the fact that
their air bladder has assumed in
measure the function of lungs, en-
abling the animal to breathe atnos-
pheric air.
"Men, women and children of Guam
are expert swimmers, and are as much
at ease in the water as on land. AS
they throw themselves into the sea
and come bounding from wave to wave
they remind one of dolphins.
according to the testimony Of early
writer's. their houses were high and
neatly made and better constructed
than those of any aboriginal race
hitherto discovered in the Indies.
1.-THE natives of Guam are, as Il rule,
of good physique and pleasing appear
ance. Owing to their mixed blood,
their complexion varies from the white
of a Caucasian to the brown of a
Malay. Most of them have glossy
black hair, which is either straight or
slightly curled 1t is worn short by
the men and long by the women, either
braided, eoiled or dressed after the
styles prevailing in Manila.
"The people are essentially agricul-
tural. There are few masters and few
servants on the island. AS rule the
farms are not too extensive to be cul-
tivated by the family. All the mem
bers, even the little children, lend a
hand"
The Colorado statesman., 1921-03-12
FiIipinos Crowd Schools.

School attendance is growing at so
rapid a rate in the Philippines that
there is a constant demand for more
American teachers. The United States
civil service commission is aiding the
bureau of insular affairs of the War
department to meet this demand.
Teachers are sent over under two-year
contracts at salaries ranging from
$1,000 to $1,000, plus 10 per cent bo-
nus, outward journey paid. The prin-
cipal demand just now is for fully
qualified high school teachers.
