Special to the Evening Review,
NEW YORK, March 11. Carnegie
Hall, will be filled tonight at the
meeting ot the Civic Forum, the ees
alon being devoted to the subject ot
primary reform and direct primaries,
U. S. Senator and former Governor
George E. Chamberlain, ot Oregon,
will preside. Senator LaFoltette will
be the principal speaker.
Senator LaFollette's address on a
subject which Is monopolizing so
much of the public's attention, and
which is soon to be considered in tbe
State legislature, would be a matter
of considerable Importance in any
event. But in view of late develop
ment, and the real efficacy of the
latest plan the uncertainty In many
minds as to which Gov. Hughes ap
proves. It Is causing a good deal ot
talk. Ihere can be no question as to
where Senator LaFollette stands In
regard to direct primaries. He Is
not In favor of any sort of legislation
smacking of compromise, or which
only goes part way In tbe accomplish
ment of a reform sought.

AfcPHALT IN ROCK ROADS.
An Improvement Suggeited For tho
' Usa of Motor Cars.
' States that are considering good
roads are likely to be interested in tbe
suggestions recently made In Wash
ington by Amil L. Barber, who baa
spent his life In the asphalt business.
1 If It Is ot all feasible it would apply
' chiefly In thickly settled districts, and
especially In the vicinity of cities,
where motor cars, as In Jackson coun
ty. Ma) are beginning to wear out the
highways. "
Macadam has not stood up under the
tremendous grinding ot tbe heavy,
high speed cars, and tbe Massachu
setts highway commission and tho
federal government are conducting ex
periments to find a substitute.
Mr. Barber's suggestion, made at tbe
annual meeting of tbe Independent As
phalt association In Washington, Is
that the problem could bo solved by
laying a strip of asphalt in the middle
of a macadam road. Taking tbe aver
age cost of making a sixteen foot mac
adam roadway at $10,000 a mile, Mr.
Barber estimated the total cost of a
sixteen 'foot road with a six foot strip
of asphalt In tbe middle at about $18,
000 a mile, an Increase of 80 per cent
"Bonus can be driven on tbe mac
adam, as now. If desired," Mr. Barber
said. "Motor cars when tbe road is
clear will nave an ideal surface In the
middle, equal to a billiard table, with
no rata or lumps to look out for. When
tbe cars meet they may slow down
and turn out so as to run upon the
macadain only on ona sldo and for a
few feet, and wbon rain first falls on
the asphalt making it slippery, thoy
can run with one side on tbo pavement
and one side on tbe macadam to avoid
Bklddlng. When on the strip of pave
ment In the middle they will cause
neither' dust nor wear.
"Finally, and If no other advautage
were tot be gained, farmers can haul on
the asphalt more than double the load
that they can bahl on macadnm. This
consideration alone should decide the
matter In favor of tbe asphalt Btrlp."
, Mr. Barber expressed the' opinion
that the federal government ought to
Appropriate $20,000,000 a year for
roads,, to be 'apportioned to states' pro
viding : three times tho amount : re
ceived. .". ...
New Systera of Roadmeklnov
A new system of roadmuklng which,
it is claimed, will stand the wear and
tear of heavy traffic, such ns motor
wagons; and be virtually d listless ut to
be tried on a more extended scale by
tbe Lancashire county council in Eng
land. ' It baa already been tested on
short lengths of road, and after four
years' hard use the road bIiowb no
sign of wear. It Is made with small
gronitp sets, three and a half to three
and tbree-quarter inches, laid in Inter
secting circles. This method of pay.
lng is said to be much more econom'
leal than paving with ordinary gran
ite. At the Instance of the county
council the system is to be tried on a
length of main road between Accriug
ton and Basllngden.

IIUOIUTT BOUGHT TIMBER.
"Reports reeclved In Portland from
Tacoma show positively that Marvin
Hugbltt, Jr.. of Chicago, traffic man
ager of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway, who was in Portland last
month, did purchase $800,000 worth
of Umber along the line of the Ta
coma Eastern, In Washington.
When Mr. Hugbltt was In Portland
he stated positively that he had not
bought any Umber, and did not In
tend buying any. He declared that
tha whole statement that be was con
cerned In the purchase of Washing
ton timber land' was a fabrication
whose origin he could not under
stand, and characterized the story as
sn untruth In no uncertain language.
His reasons for declaring that ho
had not purchased the timber and
for wishing to keep the transaction
so secret sre a mystery. It develops
that tbe timber was purchased Jointly
by Mr. Hugbltt and the Chicago Lum
ber company-

Storage Company, and the laying of
the cornerstone of an Immense ware
house, which, when completed, will
accommodate 26,000,000 pounds of

was chosen president; A. O. Leonard,

' Work Scheme This Vcur.
The building will occupy nearly
two acres of ground. It likely will
be ready for occupancy May 15, In
ample time to take care or this year's
clip of wool. It Is proposed to store
at least 25,000,000 pounds of wool
each season, nnd orrangements arc
under way to Increase the amount to
50.000,000 the second year.
Tho erection of thlB warehouse Is
one of tho steps undertaken by the
wool mon of tho west to hnndle their
own crops each year, Instead ot sel
ling their clip to Boston brokers. The
success. will mean that Boston will
cease to bo the principal wool-hnnill-Ing

367,000, and tho area 11,332,000

The estimated population of Lon

appears at 4.795,707, as compared
with 3,830,297 for ' the census of

CURRENT COMMENT. ;
And it might be remarked that
the thirst and hunger reported from
Washington Is not confined alone to
those who Journeyed there simply to
see the inauguration As President
Taft looks out over them he blanches
with the thought that there Is but a
fraction of enough offices to . go
around. Every president baa been
brought face to face with the same
hand of patriots. As they tumbled
over each othor In thoir alogo of
Prosldont Lincoln some one told hlin
he had been exposed to smallpox.
Ho replied that ho almost hoped he
would get it so ho would have some
thing to give to each of the olilce
Beekers. The Publlo says: "In the heart of
the Republican party of today, as It
was n tho heart of the Democratic
party more than halt a century ago,
there 1b reviving a democratic senti
ment which Is hopefully prophetic."
Tho case of certain New Jersey Re
publican ring breakers in particular
Is mentioned. They can be found,
high nnd low, throughout tho coun
try: LaFollotte is a notable. Cum
mins Is another. We have them hero
Chamberlain, Selling, for example.
The grent lesBon Is: Party la not the
main thing; party must mako good.
More, party must make good to the
people, not to Interests,
Senator Beverldgo Is another com
paratively young man who has
learned much since he was first
elected to the senate, and if his prac
tice matches his professions, he Is
likely to loom largo as a loader
during the years to comn. In n re
cent address to tho Republican editors
of Indiana ho doclnred Hint iwrsonal
fitness should be the sole qualification
for office, and that partisanship
should be a socondnry consideration;
and ho also favored dtroct primaries
and the practical rather than- the
theoretical rule of the people. We
shnll see Intor how sincere tho liv
dlnna statesman Is In this, but bo ap
parently has discerned the Blgns of
the times far more clearly than Sen
ator Fulton did a year ago. Port
