"Tneoma, April 3. "Mr. K. H. llnnloy, Mcilfonl, Or. "Dear Sir: My memorandum to write you in regard to concrete roads wax omehow mislaid, tind the promised letter in regard to con structing concrete romls for public highways Iin lieen delaed. "During the last two jcars there have been n number of concrete nmds Inld in the state of Wn-hinjr-ton, some of which nre standing the traffic nml giving splendid results. One. laid near ChehnlN two year ago iviIh laid Us n two-course concrete, the bottom course -Vm inrlie- in thickness of u mixlnre 1 :-, with the top layer l'fc inches- thick of ti mixture l-l-lj. The top course is laid upon the lowc course before it has hod time to set, so UiSl Ih'e two cotin.es are ptaciically one, but the top Iliyer is much finer and richer. "Pierce county built three differ ent roads under three different con tractors, sixteen feet in width, all with the same specifications and one-course concrete, the proportions being l-'J-4 nnd fi inches in thick ness. Two of these roads nre show ing splendid result, while the thinl was skinned by the contractor aud inspector nnd is a very poor piece of work. The county commissioners expect to recover it this season with a sheet nphalt. "The two-course concrete in Lewis count? cost nbout f 1.10 per square, yard, while the one-course concrete in Pierce county cost nbout 00 cents jht square yard. Pierce county laid 8Vj miles of 'granitoid' in der the Hlome patent two years ago, and this is a splendid road, probably the most satisfactory road in innnv respects on the Pacific highway. The granitoid is laid simi lar to n two-course concrete, the bot tom 4' inches being a 1-3-tl mix ture, and the top course cqunl parts of cement and fine stone chips. The granitoid bus shown a few longi tudinal cracks, but in nearly all cases they may be attributed to an improperly prenared sub-grade. "In general, I would say that a concrete road makes a very satis factory road lor automobiles, aud iU durability depends entirely iiHin the details of construction and tho thor oughness with which the work is done. Pierce county expects to con tiuuo building concrete roads this season, but is miilim the thickness of the center ft inches at the outer edges and 7 inches in the center, and making the proportions l-2-3 in stead of 1-2-1 as last season. Con crete roads of this specification can be laid for about !)0 cent per square yard after the sub-grade is pre pared. Very truly yours, "V. J. HOBKKTR, "Chief Kiigineer."

Liberal poli ticians were sighing with relief to day over last night' majority of tho second reading of tho Irlab home rule bill. Though they professed confidence all along, their ranks were so badly disorganized by the Incident of tho army officers' resignation when tho war offlco began making military preparations In Ulster, that the par ty leaders -were doubtful what the net Note would be. It did, In fact, show a narrower margin in the Llb-cral-Labor-Irlsh alliance's favor over the Contervatlven than earlier In tho bCJslon hut the Liberals wero too well satisfied that It wag as wide as It was to do any complaining Tho bill was expected to pass Its third reading early In .!a, after which It -will go to the ho arc of lords.
