The oom mission mad.- an sttempl to settle the controversy, but ii u,m made apfsatent that the raaogaltlosi of the miners' union will he an important and knotty problem for the arbitrators. The sutrees'ion thai both t ies appoint, exp. rta to examin- the books of the companies was made by Judge Gray, chairman of the ruin mission. He said It would be a good plan for the different interests to agree that the tabulated statements relating to the existing rates of wages in the different localities of the mining region be taken from the books of the operators by two expert accountant . one to be named b.v each party, su-h accountants to Iks employes of the 1 commission. Mr. Baer. after expresaiag his disinclination to accept this suggestion, said that his company would submit their pay Wls under .oath of their accountant He said they now had 70 clerks who are working day nnd night in compiling lata for the commission President Mit.lt 11 said that It would taattihrtl the work tJ the cunmlaalon if t would accept a general statement on th'.s- issues that affect all the companies nnd the mine workers alike; for instance, the question of ah"rcr hours.

The most common method is to attach a s:av wire t 1 the ground line of th.- and post, running to near top of second post, with a brace of timber from top of end post to bottom of aaeondi or t6 a point near the ground. The objection to this bracing is that the stay wire and brace each assist the post tc lift the end post out of the ground. Another fault is that the whole strain of the fence is placed on the end post at the ground line, thep'int first weakened by decay. These objections are obviated in the metoioil which 1 have used with perfect satisfaction for several year. I use an end post 7'3 feet, of good, aie saysix to eight inches in liameter; second post also a pretty good one. seven feet long. A trench is dug di-ect-ly iu front of the psition of end p ts 10 a depth of feet, and serosa the line of the draft. Enl post Is notched around the lower end to receive four stranda of No. or 9 gahanized wire, of length sufficient to reach and attach securely to the Saeand post one-third way ilnwn from top, to be twisted into a cable late. on. Then set end post in a placet dug in the wall of the trench to receive it, which should be six inches dee r than ihe t ranch.

A person ran Irrifnte a given area in less than onehalf the time with two cubic feet per seeoad than would be required with one cubic foot per second, mul it migh! be utterly impossible to irrigate the land with one-hnlf a cubic foot- per second, for the reason that the stream would be likely be absorbed by the ground and sink into the subsoil instead nf flowing over the surface.
