OIL ON STREETS.
Not in this part of the country
alone. is the oiling of streets a matter
of consideration and experiment. Sev-
eral years ago the use of oil as a dust
layer was tried in Boston and its sub-
. _ urbs. and at first the results were not
,. what was hoped and expected. Con-
tinued experiment seems to have ef-
tested an improvement, however. and
there -are now thirty—three miles of
streets and thoroughfares in Boston
' and vicinity kept in order by the use
V of oil, calcium chloride. or “trove."
which last is a mixture of proper qual-
ities, put up for the purposesnd es-
pecially adapted to suburban roads.
New York is beginning to use oil In
‘- the parks. and when it is used proper-
ly, and is the right kind of oil to be-
gin with, then results are said to be
satisfactory. in California they pro-
duce a quality of crude oil that is es-
pecially adapted to the roads of the Pa-
cific coast, and the use of it is quite
expensive. Oil producers are putting
up mixtures made for special soils and
conditions, and in The Norwaiks such
a preparation is used that works Well

vi‘ tioua as‘on other top dressings. As a
hinder, the oil and tar mixtures ap-
ment and experience are needed in
their selection - and application.

Scientist Mouse (lives Some Statistics
Concerning Our Rivers and
Harbors.
WASHINGTON. August 10.——"'l’wo
hunt-ed u-lllleaoulo lost of water on
an over“! fills with. surface of the
llug’statement was made by Dr. w. J.
McGee, secretary of the Inland Waters
ways Commission. and an expert con-
nected. with the Bureau of Soils of the
mDepartment of Agriculture.
This was not a haphazard statement
on the part of one whose original re~
search has made his name familiar to
scientists the whole world over. but
was made in the course of an inter
view which had for its primary. object
a better knowledge of the conservation
of water and its uses for the benefit of
mankind.
i‘wo hundred trillion cubic feet of
water " said Prof McGee. “is to the
average mind. but two and a lot of
ciphers. To be more explicit, it equals
about ten Mississippls, and that vol-
ume of water is the entire basis of our
prosperity."
“The United States has an area of
three million square miles, but that
area could be out directly in twain and
with the same amount of rainfall we
couldvsustain the same population that
we have today. conduct the ame en-
terprises and raise the same roducts.
a condition which i do not believo
most people appreciate. We know
very well, if we stop to consider. that
the market price of any commodity is
dependent on the water supply. We
buy land in the eastern half of the
United States and say that there are
so many acres in this parcel or in that,
but in reality we buy‘water. This is
fundamental. Water is the first of
our resources. it is the natural resol-
vent. It is power. fertility, everything.
And being fundamental, values begin
with the water supply.
"With the ten Mississlppls falling
upon the land. of the United States ev~
ery year, two Mississippis run off. thus
one-fifth of the water fall from the
heavens flows into the sea. 0f the
eight Mlssissippis remaining about five
Mississippis are absorbed. passing off
Into the air to be precipitated again
and again. A fraction, in part. passes
into the earth and slowly reaches the
oceans, while another fraction is ”con-
sumed passing into chemical combina-
tions, such as plant growth. etc.
"What we want to do is to minimiu
the waste of water and maximize the
benefits which must accrue to the citi-
zens and country by proper consorva
tlon of water supply. If we so control
the water that the rivers shall flow in
uniform stage we will solve the prob-
lem of inland navigation and make the
United States richer by a thousand per
cent. than they are today. in order to
do this we must equalize the run of the
run of the sterams at the heads of the
rivers and this may he done by dams
and reservoirs and scientific cultiva-
tion of the soil along the courses of
both streams and rivers The levees of
the lower Mississippi have done a max-
nlliceut work. but the prevention of
fioods is better far than all the levees
in the world.
‘ What we want to do is lo get back
to nature in dealing with water. First
to prevent floods. and second to com-
pel the water to run clear and pure. it
is a fact that each year the rivers oi
mainland United States pour into the
sea a thousand million tons of richesi
soil-matter in the fdrm of suspended
sediment. an impost greater than all
our land taxes combined and a com
mensurste injury to commerce in th(
lower rivers which are rendered on
priclous and difficult of control by the
unstable load.
“The difference in the power valut
alone between controlled and uncon
trolled streams would in ten years pay
the entire cost of stream control in the
United States. And this, coupled witi
the billion dollars‘ loss every year
through soil erosion, due to fioods
would construct a comprehensive sys
tem of water control in the United
States.
“it seems to me in view of these
statements that the Congress shOuld
authorise the control over the waters
in order that this wealth might con
tribute a thousand fold to men‘s happi
ness and prosperity. Notwithstanding
all that has been said i am in hearty
sympathy with the president when he
said that there was ‘a twilight zone'
between the Federal Government and
the States, so far as water control is
concerned. Both the Federal Govern
ment and the States have shrunk from
assuming control over inland waters
because they have been fearful of in-
vading each other's rights. What we
should aim to do is to so coordinate
the work on the principle of the great
out good to the greatest number for the
longest time. and a comprehensive pol-
icy, such as is urged by the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, toward
the navigable waters of the nation
would bring untold prosperity and add
immeasurably to the nation‘s wealth."

Every four years the mail is weighed
to enable the government to arrive at
an average of the amount in weight,
that is carried over the railroad lines
in one section. so as to fix a satisfac-

with the railroads.
increasing amounts of matter sent
through the mails require new con
