P 10 NEER TEXAS GENTLEMAN HAS
 P ASSED BEYOND
Robert J. Kleberg, 'Wh o RuledPrincipality, Dies
 on His Ranch

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Oct. Il. Robert J. Kleberg, aged 75, pion- eer Texas cattleman, died here yesterday at his home on his ranch near Kingsville.
 A principality ruled by benign spirit perhaps would most nearly describe the vast territory over which Robert J. Kleberg held sway and where he wrought his lasting works. <
 The King ranch in South Texas, which MT. Kleberg. developed, con- tained 100000 acres. The state of Delaware could be set down in- side the territory and there would be enough left over to make a city. the size of Chicago and in addition to this a front yard about the size of the District of Columbia. The ranch includes one entire Texas county and parts of six others. It has eighty miles of coast, the Gulf of Mexico being forty-five miles east of the Kle- berg front door.
 Has Railroad
 On this great farm are 100 miles of railroad, three towns, four schools, a cotton mill, but ter factory, and numerous other industrial plants for manufacturing the products of the ranch. The men who work on the ranch use 2000 saddle horses and thirty au- tomobiles to travel from pasture to pasture.
 The familiar saying that every great institution is but the length ening shadow of single man" was exempNfied in the life of Ranch man Klsberg, for it was his "shad- ow' that cast the magic of suc- cess over this vast property.
 When Captain Richard King died in 1885, the ranch contained about 500,OOO acres. Keberg was appointed manager by Captain Kings widow and then began one of the most unusual agricultural developments in this state of su- perlative distances.
 Was Lawyer
 Kleberg was a young lawyer in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was born in Dewitt County, Texas, Dec. 5, 1853, and was graduated from the University of Virginia law school in 1880. He had trans acted most of Captain Kings le- gal business and the widow na- turally turned to him for aid when the founder of the property died. She persuaded him to abandon the law for farming. He moved to

COLD WEATHER FAILS
TO HALT R0ADWORK
Theory That Winter Is Poor Time
for Building Held a Myth.
Ohio Busy.

Acceptance Of the myth that Winter
is no time for building annually keeps
hundreds of millions of dollars out of
circulation. Here and there however,
private builders and communities refuse
to be coWed by the rigorS of Winter
and are going ahead with building, en-
countering few more difficulties than
are met in the heat of Summer.
Among the States. that are endeavor-
ing to provide as much construction
work as possible this Winter is Ohio,
where the most widespread bridge pro-
gram is under way that that State has
ever undertaken. These bridge projects
were not created merely to furnish en-
ployment. Last Summer Ohio made a
survey of all road bridges in the State
and found that about one-third were
too light or too narrow to serve traffic
safely and adequately.
A list was made up Of $50 bridge
structures which needed replacement
That list was reduced 70 292 bridges
which could be built out of the funds
at hand.
Ohio wasted little time in getting the
program under way. Contractors were
given jobs early in November and by
the end of December practically all of
the bridges were under contract with
work progressing on most of them.

THE new year is here. 1t is to
be hoped that 1882 will be a
better year in many ways
than the one just ended.
This hope includes a reduction in
traffic accidents and an increase
in automotive sales.
The prospects for the latter
seem rather bright. Business in
general is expected to pick up, and
II this should be the case, the au-
tomobile industry Is due for its
share. Many requirements will be
necessary, and if the public sees
better business conditions ahead,
old cars will be turned in and new
ones purchased.
Auto Industry Deserving.

serving of better times. Its man
ufacturers have done about every
thing in their power to turn out
perfect cars at reasonable prices.
They are complete mechanical

FEDERAL ROAD AID
HELD BEST BARGAIN
Current Construction Task
Cited by State Highway
Official.

! Although Federal contributions for
road building compose only small part
of the money annually spent on roads,
| the value received makes Federal par
! ticipation one of the country's best
bargains.
This statement was made here by
Frederic E. Everett, president of the
American Association of State Highway
Officials, On calling attention to the cur
rent bodybuilding task.
Held Outstanding Factor.
Federal assistance has been the out
standing factor in helping the States
proceed in an orderly fashion in the
| improvement of the most used roads,
the roads that accommodate the most
motorists" said Mr. Everett. There
are some 100000 miles of highways
in this one country. Out of that over
whelming mileage has been created the
State highway systems, totaling about
1926, 900 miles. The FederaI-aid system,
containing about per cent of all roads,
is still more select group of highways,
largely composed of the most direct and
necessary travel routes.
This Federal-aid system for the most
part constitutes the country's most used
roads. 1t has been estimated that at
ANtNSN A4t'AA IAlI AA ftA GlnFC4 10 OfCI ILAC1ll
Federal Help Needed.
'Unquestionably Federal help was
needed in laying out these through
highways, which would benefit the
country as a whole, and it is clear that
Federal assistance was needed to in
sure the improvement of this system
1t is equally evident that the Federal
Government should carry on its road
work
The road job ahead is still large.
The latest figures available show that
at the end OF 1890, 30 per cent of. the
roads in the State highway systems was
unSurfaced, "A per cent covered with
loW-type surfaces and only 26 per cent
surfaced with high-type pavement.
"On the 1877, ,00Omile Federal-aid sys-
tenn, which. remember, is included in
the State highway systems, July /, 1881,
80 per cent OF the roads had high-type
pavementS and 40 per cent had inter-
mediate and loW-type surfaces. Four
teen per cent were graded and drained
and per cent were unimproved.
Progress to Date.
Progress to date on the Federal-aid
system has been excellent. The report
of Thomas H. Macdonald, chief, Bu-
reau of Public Roads, for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1881. shows that there
were 1893 miles completed last year,
as against 1852 miles the previous year.
But there is still much to do Thou
sands of miles of surfaces claSSed as
intermediate types should be lifted to
high type. Thousands of miles of
graded and drained roads and of low
type roads should be hard surfaced.
Road usage is still ahead of road sup
ply. The lowered road maintenance
costs and car operating costs that 60
with better roads make it imperative
that both the States and the Federal
Government sustain their bodybuilding
efforts concluded Mr. Everett.

While it is generally admitted that

Ts Discussion Planned.
Arrangements for or against a
revision in the United States
tariff law which would permit this
country'S participation in bar
gaining" tariff agreements with
other nations will be considered
at meeting of the export leaders
of the motor industry in New
York January IL, George F.
Bauer, manager of the export de-
partment of the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, re-
Gently announced.
There is a growing feeling
among the leaders of the automo-
bile industry that present increas-
ingly high tariffs of practically all
countries are the chief obstacles
to large scale consumption OF
goods generally, and increased
employment for American labor,
in 1882" Mr.. Bauer reported.
Among the specific questions
scheduled for discussion are:
l. Should the Export Commit
tee recommend to the directors
that they place the Chamber on
record in favor of a bargaining
tariff policy?
2. Should this policy assume a
flexible form, in which other ma
tionS would be accorded varying
reductions in tariff rates on their
principal products by the United
States in return for similar con-
cesSionS in their duties on Ameri-
can products, which may vary ac-
.cording to conditions?
3. Or should it take the form OF
an all-incluSive one-rate reclpro-
eating tariff, which would accord
a single blanket rate on all Of the
products of a certain country,
whether raw materials or manu-
factured goods, upon condition
that each and every American
product be accorded the same
blanket rate upon entry into that
country?
4 What precautions would be
necessary in such a bargaining
tariff to assure ourselves of re-
ceiving treatment which will be
fully reciprocal in spirit as well as
letter and prevent indirect evasion
by means of tax and duty rebates,
restrictions or regulations?
5. Should negotiations in a bar
gaining tariff be extended to do
minions and colonies as separate
political units?
6. Should an economic, nom
political body of experts appoint
ed by leading trade and business
associations, farm oranges and
labor organizations be intrusted
to outline the provisions OF bar
gaining treaties with specific
countries, guided by interest in the
welfare of the Nation as a whole,
rather than by sectional interests,
and recommended to the State
Department that treaties based on
these provisions be drafted and
negotiated with the countries in
question?
