El Paso has "skad*” of the best
material in the world for the build-
ing of streets that will last hundreds
of years right under her nose. This
is the opinion of W. E. Koch, civil
engineer, who has an office in the
Trust building.
This material is nothing more nor
less than the slag which rests in
great ridges out. at the smelter, and
which is almost as cTicap and Just as
available as the dirt that compose the
hills around the city.
While MY. Koch know's lots about
roads built of slag, the question of
building streets in E! Paso out. of tills
material had never occurred to him
until a few days ago when he was
showing a prominent citizen from
Boston over the city, who expressed
great amazement that El Paso had no
paved streets when It had a world ot
the best material In the world at
hand. The suggestion reminded Mr.
Koch, who Is a native of England,
that the -best roads and streets of
the British isle are built of slag, and
that streets In ,he principal cities of
Eurous were bulk out of this ma-
terial.
A Times man called upon Mr. Koch
yesterday and fount} him full of in-
formation on the subject of build-
fog roads. He said:
Slag, such as come3 from smelt-
ers or any kind of blast furnaces, tin-
questtonably make the finest roads
that, were ev,‘r built. This is no the
Tv. [t ; j a prov n fact Hjat the coun-
tries of Europe bear Substantial tes
‘Imooy to Slag, as a materia! for
road building, has been in ttsa since
the days that the Romans honeycomb-
ed Europe with gocj thoroughfares.
Throughout England and nearly all
ho countries of Europe are reads as
lurable as iton and at smooth as a
floor built out t slag in the time
of the Romans. Not only this, in the
principal capitals of Europe, name-
ly, London, Paris and Berlin, there
ire mi.es of this kind of streets.
In New England slag has also been
•mployed in street building and is re-
garded as the tost as wjll as he
cheapest material that can be had.
"The nice thing about slag is that
It is not controlled by any trust and
here, at least, should be very cheap
My Boston friend in discussing :hu
ttsa to which the great piles of this
material at the smelter could be put
said that if he had it In Boston he
could get $1.25 cents per yard for it.
At (hat it would be cheap.
’ ■ it all depends in building roads or
streets of this material upon tbc way
thtu the work is done. The way to
build good roads of this materia! Is
simply this: Dig down about eighteen
inches and lay In a bed of about
twelve inches of slag. Over this
spread a layer of broken rock and
gravel which should then be topped
off with a layer of finely ground slag
and lime mixed with a little sand. The
last layer should be liberally soaked
with water which causes the slag and
lime to form a silicate of iron which
become ten times as hard as asphaltum
or vitrified brick and makes a road
that nothing can prevail against. Care
must be taken to build tne road or
street with a "hog in It so that it will
drain the wafer either way. The more
water that falls on this kind of a road
the better and harder It becomes.
In countries and localities where
roads are built of this material regu-
lar machines for the crushing of the
siag and the rolling of the outer sur-
face of the road are owned. If El Paso
should build streets of slag it would
have to provide itself with this kind of
machinery. It already has a steam
roller and so all that it would need
would be a crushing machine.
I estimate that the streets could be
built here in El Paso out of slag and
the other necessary material, which
abounds in abundance, at one tenth the
cost that streets of asphalt or vitri
fled brick could be put down. Not only ’
that, but such streets would be many'
time* as durable and palter in every
respect.
J. H. Boone, owner of Washington
Park, presented u counter proposition
for the disposal of ihe park, to the
members of the Inter-American Fair
association committee yesterday morn-
ing, as a result of which the fair move-
ment has taken on new life and there
and there are still very good prospects
of holding the first fair in.the Wash-
ington Park grounds next fall.
Mr. Boone met with the fair com-
mittee at the Chamber of Commerce,
the meetinq having been called by
J. M. Wyatt, chairman, ana after a
short discussion of the subject pre-
sented his proposition, as counter to
he offer by the committee to purchase
the park, including a large plot of
ground In front of the park, for $50.-
000.
Assume Indebtedness of Park.
Mr. Boone's proposition is that the
fair association take over the park,
buildings, fixtures, etc., including the
lease on the city tract, but not Includ-
ing the tract outside of the park, by
assuming the Indebtedness thereon of
$40,000. That sum.’he stated, does not
begin to cover the value of the im-
provements on the property, as the
lumber alone could not be duplicated
for $25,000 nor the adobe building
erected at a cost fof less than $16,-
000.
This offer does not include the
ground upon which the pumping plants
are located, but Mr. Boom; agreed to
permit the free use of the pumps pro-
vided the association would agree to
maintain them and permit him to use
sufficient water for his own needs.
Time to Act.
Felix Martinez, declared ft was time
for El Paso to act and that the city
could not afford to let the project die
aftey the people had endorsed It. Mr.
Boone also outlined the terms of the
lri se of that portion of the park be-
longing to the city, explaining that the
lease had 11 years to run and at
the conclusion of the lease, the city
agreed to pay the appraised value of
■ill improvements, otherwise the prop
erty will remain in the hands of the
lessee.
Several members of the committee
were impressed with the proposition
and J. M. Cannon moved that Ihe
committee go into executive session.
Felix Martinez and Frank Coles were
appointed a committee to confer with
Mr. Boone in regard to other details
of his proposal, anil another meeting
of the committee will lie held Saturday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Chamber
of Commerce, when the committee of
■wo will report and action of some
kind will probably be taken.

OSSIFIED MAN DIES IN AGONY.
For 16 Ycara “King of Shut-Ins” Una-
ble To Move Muscles.
Philadelphia. Pa.—In the death of
Charles H. Conrad in the Episcopal
hospital, a degree of Spartan courage
wat revealed in hi» life story that is
almost wbhout parallel In local medi-
cal circles. He was the “king of

save that of his lower jaw.
Following an attack ol' inflamma-
tory rheumatism sixteen year a ago
he was seized with rheumatoid ar-
thritis, or the ossification of the
joints of the body. Exceedingly rare,
the terrible disease is Incurable, and
for nearly a score of years Conrad
has lain In the hospital facing death
to relieve him of his suffering.
Conrad, as a member of the Gor-
man Turnvt rein, was giving an ath-
letic exhibition one night, and at tho
close of it he lingered in a draft to

fluence Conrad wa* removed lo the
