ABOLISHING CROSSINGS.
Millions Being Spent to Make Acci
dents on Roads Less Frequent.
Recent deaths caused from accidents
at grade crossings of highways and
railroads have started a crusade that
has gained much momentum favoring
the abolition of all grade crossings by
the railroads, aided by the various
states. It is realized that this would
KAtLROAD CROSSING WHERE SEVEHAi MET
DEATH.
prove a most expensive undertakingj
and as a result it is planned to give
. Ave years to the work, having all cross
ings abolished at the expiration of that
time.
Such crossings are especially dan
gerous for automobilists who race
through the country at a terrific rate
of speed at night and do not heed the
warnings of approaching trains. Many
of the railroads have already expended
millions of dollars in abolishing such
crossings, and the work is now being
pushed with much energy.
KEEPING ROADS REPAIRED.
Government Pamphlet Deals With
Effects of Heavy Motor Trucks.
Increase in the number and weight
of automobiles and heavy motor
trucks has led the office of public
roads of the department of agriculture
to Issue a special pamphlet of Instruc
tions on the maintenance of highways.
More substantial foundations in road
building as a means of keeping down
the cost of maintenance are recom
mended. "There Is probably no subject in
which the progressive fanner is more
deeply interested," the road expert
stated, "than that of having roads
connecting him with his markets over
.which he may be able to haul the
greatest possible loads. Good roads,
like all other good things, are too ex
pensive to build and of too much value
to be neglected."
The pamphlet deals with methods
for keeping in repair roads already

Western Australia produces more
" gold than any American state, sends
more pearls to Europe than any other

have the richest belt of hardwood tim

"CANNING" THE MOSQUITO
Some Phases of CoL Gorga's
Transmits Malaria
By wniis J. Abbot, author of "Panam
Tbp latest desire in the unceasing
warfare of the sanitation department
upon the mosquito of the canal zone
is a contraption which shows which
way the 'skeeter flies, where he comes
from ana whither he is going. It is
a small frame holding four glass
plates set at right angles, with each
plate facing one point of the com
pass North, South, East or West. All
are properly coated with tanglefoo
so that when th.3 heedless mosquito
bumps into a plate in his flight, he
stays permanently. This machine has
shown that the mosquitoes fly in the
early evening something that most
of us have discovered without the aid
of mechanical contrivances and
mal;e their return flight in the early
morning hours. The practical advant
age of the device lies in the fact that
it indicates the direction from which
the pestilential insects came. If the
plates facing East and North, for ex
ample, are besprinkled with captured
insects the- oil brigade and the germ
icide mien are dispatched in these di
rections to look up the breeding
places that startied out the flying
squadrons of pestilence.
Since the "mosquito theory" of the
methods of conveying malaria and
yellow fever ceased to be a th,eory
and became an established fact, no
pains are too great for the sanitation
force to take in fighting the insects.
In reality there is a certain humor
in this scientific bug hunting. You
are at afternoon tea with a hostess
in one of the cnarming tropical houses
which the commission supplies to its
workers. The eyes of young hostess
suddenly become fixed in a terrified
gaze.
"Goodness, gracious!" she exclaims,
"look there!"
"What? where?" you cry, bound
ing from your seat in excitement.
Perhaps a blasti has just boomed on
the circumambient air and you have
visions of a fifty-pound rock about to
fly through the drawing-room win
dow. "There!" dramatically. "That mos "
quito!"
"I'll swat it," you cry valorously,
remembering the slogan of 'swat tha
fly' which breaks forth recurrently in
our newspapers every spring, though
they are quite calm ond unperturbed
about the places which breed flies

the department."
Speechless with amazement you
wopdjjr if the police or firs depart
ment is to be called out to cope with
this mosquito. In due time there ap
pears an official equipped with an
electric flash-light, a phial and a
smaJJ bottle of chloroform. The male
factor no, the suspect for the an
opheles malefactor does no evil de
spite' his sinister name is mercifully
chloroformed and deposited in the
phial for a later post mortem. With
his flashlight the inspector examines
all the dark places of the huose to
seek for possible accomplices, and
having learned that nobody has been
bitten ta";es himself off.
It does seem a ridiculous amount of
fuss about a mosquito, doesn't it?
But since that sort of thing has been
done on the zone death carts no lon
ger make their dismal rounds for the
night's quota of the dead, and the
ravages of malaria are no longer so
general or so deadly as-they were.
When Col. Gorgas came to th,e
Isthmus the two towns, Panama and
Colon, were well fitted to be breeding
places for. pestience. Neither had
sewers nor any drainage system. The
streets of Panama were paved after
a fashion' with cobblestones and lined
with gutters through which the liquid
refuse of the town trickled slowly or
stood still to fester and grow putres
cent under the glowing rays of the
tropic sun. Colon had no pavement
whatsoever. Neither town had water
works, and the people gathered and
stored rainwater in cisterns and pot
tery jars, which afforded fine breed
ing places for the mosquito. As a
matter of fact tile whole Isthmus, not
the twons alone, furnishes plenty of
homes for the mosquito. With a
rainy season lasting thorughout eight
months in the year much of the soil
is waterlogged. Th,3 stagnant back
waters of small streams; pools left
by the rains; the footprints of cows
and other animals filled with rain wa
ter quickly breed the wrigglers that
ultimHtply become mosquitoes. Mr.
A. H. Jennings, the entomologist of
the commission, has identified 125
varieties of the mosquito, of which
however, the anopheles and the steg
omyia are the ones peculiarly obnoxi
ous to man. The others are merely

TREASURY RELICS
Historical Treasures on File In
the Auditor's Office.
ACCOUNTS OF G. WASHINGTON.
These Cover a Period of Eight Years
and Are In the Handwriting of the
Great Patriot Receipts Signed by
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay.
The archives of the United States
treasury are rich with relics. In the
files of the office of the auditor of the
treasury department may be seen the
canceled check showing the payment
to Lafayette in 1824 of $200,000 by the
Dnited States "in consideration of his
services and sacrifices In the war of
the Revolution." William H. Craw
ford, then secretary of the treasury,
signed the warrant, and in the char
acteristic French handwriting on the
reverse Is the indorsement of Lafa
yette. A canceled check or warrant
for $15,000,000 represents the payment
for the Louisiana purchase under the
treaty of 1S03. ". .
The purchase under the treaty, char
acterized at the time as "Seward's fol
ly," of Alaska is evidenced by a war
rant for $7,200,000, signed by F. E.
Spinner, who at the time was secre
tary of the treasury. The wording of
the warrant begins and runs. "Pay to
the undersigned envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of his
majesty the emperor of all the Rus
sias." This warrant called for pay
ment in coin and was so paid through
the Riggs bank, then a private bank
ing institution of Washington, after
being indorsed by Edward de Stoecke:
the Russian minister at that time.
The purchase of the Philippine Is
lands from Spain is represented in the
important financial transactions of the
government by four warrants of $5,
000.000 each. As a treaty cannot be
entered into by one -country directly
with om wth which, it'is at war. the

This picture shows the body of William. J. Gaynor, late mayor of New York, who dUd while on his way to
Europe in search of health, lying in state in the city hall, New York. Over- 75,000 peopl viewed the body whicu
was guarded by the police. A line of paople over two miles long stood in the rain for nours and noc one went
away without paying his respects to the late mayor. It was a most xeuiar kable tribute. "The throng repre
sented every class and occupation, every race and creed. There were easi ly five hundred Chinamen among tn.3
crowd and several delegations of boy scouts in uniforms, and of public sen ool children carrying the banners of
their schools. A little bootblack, att ired in the uniform of a municipal fer ry enmploy?; was the first of the un
official host to pass through the portal and tip-toe timidly to the bier. . -
warrants were indorsed by Jules cam
bon, the French minister, who had del
egated authority to represent the Span
ish government
The Panama canal purchase repre
sented the largest financial transaction
of the government The payment was
made Jay a common draft, payable to
"J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., special dis
bursing agent" through. whom It was
paid to the French company, the for
mer owner. - Tbe late J. Pierpont Mor
gan himself indorsed the draft A
short time previous there had been Is
sued a warrant for $10,000,000, cover
ing the cost of the canal zone, an area
of ten miles on each side of tbe canal.
As these canceled checks are held as
receipts, it could happen. In case of
their loss, that the government might
not be able to show that the moneys
were actually paid.
Not less Interesting as relics are "Ac
counts G. Washington with the Unit
ed States, commencing June, 1775, and
ending June. 1783. comprehending a
space of eight years." Under the cap
tion are three or fonr dilapidated calf

indicated. In a footnote he calls at
tention to a particular item which be
appeared to have paid, but for which
be bad no voucher. He deducted the
amount of the Item from bis credit
until the matter could be definitely set
tled. All of his accounts are express
ed in English money.
A contemporaneous account book kept
by Caleb Gibbs shows the personal ex
penses of Washington and his military
"family." meaning, no doubt, his Im
mediate staff. The entries are usually
beaded. "Headquarters, on the march."
For the most part they cover purchases
of food supplies, but now and then are
such entries as:
"To cash for a broom that Peter
bought some time ago, sixpence."
"Cash paid for mending the chariot.
1 shilling."
"Agreed with Peggy for 4 shillings
per month for the general's washing
and 4 shillings per dozen for the gen

The general tone of the hop market
was weak yesterday and the buysrs
did not seem to be interested in the
product as the sales that were report

are not conducive to brisk trade and
the buyers have decided to wait until
after the quotations are materially
lowered.
Eggs show a firm tendency with a
steady - demand and the trade brisk.
No changes in prices have been noted.
Chickens are selling well through the
