In which mining and Irrigation plays so prominent a part, very largely to Itself, and will nave, precedence la all reglona where farms and stock ranches exist and pumping of water becomes necessary. .

HONG KONG SETTLES DOVN TO USE OF THE ASPHALT PApEIIT Decision Is cf Importance, Owing ;,to Difficulties Caused by , ; Great Rainfall. i After a good many years of experi mentation the government of Hong kong haa settled down to the general uss of - asphalt - and tar In Its road pavement work. The decision. Is of considerable significance, for fe plaoee in the world offer more of a problem - In pavement work. . since in few places Is there any more serious difficulty growing out of excessive rain fall on steep inclines and great sum mer heat folowed by long seasons of dry weather. . . Up to about five years ago almost no asphalt was used on - Hongkong roads. Macadam finished with a mix ture of clay, cement concrete, and ma eadara on hills was considered the most economical roadway. Experiments were carried on from time to time with as phalt, and in 1911 some portions of the pavement on downtown streets, as weU as a' considerable stretch of one of the roads on the Peak, were laid tn tarred macadam. " , la 1112 the 'area of tar macadam la the dty proper was considerably ex tended- and the plan was also adopted of painting the surface of many con crete roads with tar and nding the surraos. -., la 1912 the substitution of tar ma eaoam xor ordinary macadam wai pushed vigorously, and the application of tar toppings and the tarring and sanding of -concrete ; pavements were con tin vied. Some small areas were laid experimentally tn raastlo asphalt, and tar spraying machines for road rur facing were In trod need. In 191S the government opened fts own quarries to obtain requisite grades of stone for this tar macadam. - Ad vantage of this was taken to modify the methods la use by laying arti ficial asphalt tn certain roads which are subjected to heavy traffic qualities of coffee are good, the been surrenng no aeterwratlon from storage under proper . conditions. The reneral plif here la that there win be oonsld- arable hoarding of coffee stocks la the United States against the close 'of the preeent war; and that merchants in the United States, therefore. In their de sire to da this sort of speculative buy tng, may assist firasll la disposing of tho enormous harvest that la expected this year. - BrasU Itself would hardly seem to have the available capital or the staying power to - accumulate and to keep the crop Is reserve here . for some rising market In the distant and uncertain future. The qualities are said to be regular and good la all the coffee that haa been eomlng out of the planta tions sine last Jane and July. tooted by letters patent. Several years time were consumed la perfecting the pump, and this accomplish edtT was pur chased by Portlaad parties, and th en terprise Is now on a most substantial foundation.
