raPOGRAPHIG MAP A VALUABLE A D

Its Importance in War and Commerce Now Well . Established. It has been said that many of the battles of the rjvil war would never I have been foucht had there been j topr.srraph'c maps, for if those in ' command could have studied i topographic map of the country about them they would never have suMected their men to such marcij es as were made and then have expected the men to rii,'ht. Hut topo- ) raphv in it ye neral sense and as it is shovn today on the maps made ! by the t'nited States ueolo'ical sur vey of the interior department wf. i little known in the sixties. Th? I engineer corps of Ihe a;my v as j highly efficient, but the topographic j engineer did not appear in the i American army until August 1V'1. when an act of concress auithorized the enlistment of one com pany of topographic engineers. This company was afterward merged 'into the corps of engineers. Today within the wide boundaries of our country, which embraces more than three million .square miles, there are a hundred million ptopie. They live on farms, in ilIhKvs, and in towns and cities. Their dwelling places may be separated by broad rivers and rujed mountains, but the use of the topographic imap is Kraciually knittinu them systematically together, and at any I time that this widespread populaI tion may be required to move in j concerted action for a common I cause the topopTp.phical map will Rive the leaders a comprehensive view of its geographic relations, ro that the problem of moving can be solved more quickly ünd with oor1 judgment. The topographic map, like the telephone and the typewriter, has become a necessity, and , we wonder now how we have ever flnne without it. Value of the- Maps. "The man in the street" may have thought little of the value of the work of the topographic engineer, and do him and others who have not conside ed the importance of that work some illustrations of its value might be interestincr. A well-known author, soldier, and topographic engineer found the topographic maps of the geologici-l survey indispensable in every branch of his work. Ry studying a country before goin into it he became so familiar with the details of manv interesting features of I which the natives had never heard i that his stories acquired a realism that could net have been infused inJ to them had he dwelt in the country la lifetime. , A party of Ohioans who expected j to make a w inter trip by automobile I to California consulted the topjocraphic rmips of the survey and j planned their itinerary for the trip jwith he most satisfactory and eoInomical results. Realizing from the j map that they would travel at hlffh altitudes and would consequently encounter low temperature s, they made detailed provision to meet every emergency. iney Fciecieu rads that followed the lonccst lev els, thereby saving "trouble," and jpasoline, not to mention racking deI liys. . Again, the topographic map was I consulted by a New York business man who wanted to hunt bear and I big game in the wilds of New j Mexico, and who thus arranged hi ! plans, with the aid of some correspondence, at a distance of over 2, COO rr.ilfs. The arrangements in- , eluded evn th details of the exj pense for the neceary pack train for transporting his party and suK- ! plies into a country where the nearjest postmaster to some points is 40 ' miles di.-tant. I Forelrrs I'so Map. i The forester depend; on the govj eri.ment topographic map to rind 'trails whereby his "fire guards" I mav reach their "lookouts' in tue i ! season when lightning sets fire to jthe hichly inflammable pines ar.o 'causes immense monetary losses tc the government. With the map ab '. so he lays out hi? telephone lir.ci and draws his permits for leases t. I the cattlemen. ' A lumberman of New Mexico ' saved several hundred dollars by ! purchasing a l'l-cent map of the country in his icinity and usin? i: to check up th areas he held under , lease. The copper miner and the owner of a turquoise mine made I fresh discoveries by studying a Inicent topographic map issued by th , geological survey. The war department saved much 'time and expense by using a survey ; map hn those m charge of p. ! government hospital for tuberculosis in the southwest desired to en;laige? the water supply. The u.e of jthe detailed topographical map wrs absolutely necessary in determining the limits of the drainage area, in I deciding what properties to purchase in ordi to im hide the best and strongest springs, and m locat- , ing sites for dams and reservoirs This work, done by a trained topographer with the methods now I employed bv the 'geological survev. t j reduced the cos' very materially. i Fifteen cents spent by a re.lama- : tin engineer in l'.n?-ie in connec tion with a private engineering jroject saved his company jM.'A and ' --tab!ished a projec t which would (never hae ecinei possible had not Jthe thr topographic maps he pir- ' chai ivn him a comiareriensiv

view of s.ernl hundred squnrmiles of erv f.at country in Wisconsin, where the drainage problems are most Intricate and delicate. These are but a few concrete illustrations of the use? of the geological survey's maps. Todaytopography is beinc taught in th.schools, and th co ning generation will more appreciate the many values of such maps. It is r.ot unusual to hear the boy or srirl student discussing topography the girl for its advantages in selecting the most desirable botanical expedition and the boy in planning his "war game" with Ms fellow cadet.

government's ographic maps. Abnormal Conditions in First Half of 1917 Reported by Geological Survey. Abnormal conditions prevailed in the iron industry during the first half of 1 f 1 7 . mainly on account of the war in I'urope. At the beginning of the year, when pig iron was being made at the average rate of about 1C2.000 gross tons daily, the blast furnaces were operated at slightly reduced capacity, according to K. F. Rurchard of the I'nited States geological survey, department of the interior. This rate dropped to less than Iö.foo tons daily in February, but in March the rate rose to ins. 000 tons daily, and in April and May it stood at more than 110,00a tons, compared with the maximum rate of US, 00 tons in October, lflfi. The prospective blast furnace capacity seems not to have kept pace with the demand, however, as is Indicated by the enormous increases in price, especially since the t'nited States entered the war. The total output of coke and anthracite pig iron in the first five months of f17 was about 15.00.000 gross tons, compared with about 16.lTö.ooo tons during the corresponding period of 191. a decrease of about 2 per cent. Drop in Suivrior Hogion. The quantity of iron ore from mines in the Iake Superior region shipped from upper lake ports from Jan. 1 to June 1, 1917, was about .r.no.ooo gross tons, compared with slightly more than 10,100,000 tons for the corresponding five months of a decrease of about 3.S00.O0O tor.s. or more than per cent. This apparently large decrease in ore shipments from the principal producing reerion was not due to inability to mine ore but largely to the belated opening of lake tratfio because of ice blockades and to many ore-carrying boats having been put out of commission through accidents. Plans are being made by committees of the council of national defense to increase shipments of iron ore, coal and coke during the remainder of the season through cooperative methods, and possibly the June shipments will nearly equal those of June. 1910. In the meantime the blast furnaces have been drawing on large stocks of ore at lower lake ports in order to offset the deficiency in upper lake shipments. Deferred shipments of co'e and other causes of traffic congestion have also retarded operations at some furnaces. Triors Advance. Prices of pig iron at western Pennsylvania furnaces have advanced since Jan. 1, 1917. 1 to 77 per cent and since a year ago 14 to 200 per cent. On July 1917, basic iron was quoted at Valley furn.ices at ?52 a ton, Ressemer iron at Pittsburgh at $57.90. and No. 2 foundry iron at $.".t. while at Rirmingham. Ala., foundry iron, which one year ago sold at $14, brought ?47 a ton. I,ow-phosphorus iron has been quoted at $7n to a ton. Feverish buying of jug iron by private consumers w'o were endeavoring to provide for their present needs, as well as f"r their needs far into lfM. has caused much of the recent increase in price. The extent of the government's war needs foi steel is not yet defined, but increasing Orders are being placed slowly, however, and they should not interfere seriously with deliveries" of steel to private consumers. As the gov ernment is not competing in price it would seem that there may be at lo.tst some warrant for belief that prices may eventually adjust themseives without need for further great inflation.

FEW BIG REALTY DEALS LAST WEEK

War Draft Reported Cutting j in on Sales in Ad ditions. The real estate activities during the past week were featured by the lack of large transactions and the normal number of transfers. The demand f-r farm property in the county has dropped off, many farms being for sale at the standard prices, but buyers being a scarce article. However, there have been some trades reported in which pome cash and negotiable securities have figured. The outlying additions to the city have been steadily selling, though agents report that the war draft cut into their sales among the younger prospective buyers. The mid-summer season usually decreases the amount of real estate transfers, being considered the dull season among rf-al estate dealers. Many of the larger dealers, however, report that sales have kept right up to normal in the $3,000 ard $4,or.o class for homes. This may bo traced to many reasons, explain the dealers. One of the main reasons being that real estate is about the only form of local Investment, except certain tax-free bonds, which will be exempt from war levies or taxation. "War cannot hurt anything as stable as real estate," says August Hecks' her. one of the largest investors in New York real estate. Many homes in the J.T.ooi to $4.000 class hnve built and sold in one or two of the closer additions. Rungalovvs are still maintainirg their popularity. Foundations are now in for a dozen or more homes to he built on Haney av.. in the Indiana a v. addition, in preparation for a "clean up" sale expected to take place about the middle of August. LI.
