DENVER, March 14-With cuts
filled with snow to a depth of twenty
feet, with every available snow plow
working day and night, the Burling-
ton, Rock Island, Union Pacific and
Santa Fe, lines are confronted with
the certainty of another blizzard, fol-
lowing on the heels of the one which
is now blocking traffic between Den
yer and other points. Until yesterday
Burlington and Santa Fe lines were
able to keep their tracks clear by the
continual work of the full force snow
plows, but this morning it is reported
Burlington trains are being held at
McCook, Neb., and that Santa Fe lines
were blocked as we'll. Rock Island
trains were open for few hours yes
terday and five of the eight Denver
trains blockaded in Kansas arrived in
Denver. These trains had been snow
ed in at different points in western
Kansas since Sunday. The three re-
manning trains bound for Denver were
unable to make their way through the
cuts which had drifted to the top with
snow in the short time since the trains
had passed. No trains are coming in
today.

THE PROPER WIDTH
OF PUBLIC ROADWAYS
(By W. s. Gearheart, State Highwa,

(By W. S. Gearheart, State Highway
Engineer, X. S. A. C.)
The proper width of public high
ways is much discussed subject and
word of warning at this time in re-
gard to the width fixed by the law in
a number of the states and the widths
recommended after careful study If
the most satisfactory, economical
width of road-utility, nature Of
traffic, funds available, and every
thing considered-may save some Sc
rious blunders this spring.
The statutes in the state named be-
low fix the width of the right of way
for public highways as follows:
Indiana, not less than ........30 feet
Michigan ...........--..........-49.5 to 66 feet
Illinois to so feet
Iowa to 66 feet
Missouri, not less than .........30 feet
Kansas to so feet
Governor Carroll of Iowa strongly
urged that the width of right of way
of the public roads in his state be re-
duced from Sc feet to 40 feet which
would give ample room to accommo-
date the traffic and would give back
to the farmers about 100000 acres of

Cost of Living

High cost of living
makes little impression on
thrifty people.
Thrifty people are those
who buy what they need
WHEN the price is at the
bottom.
Suppose the Couch, Chair,
Parlor Suite, dining table, or
any other articles of furni-
ture you need are worth 800.
Suppose you find exactly
what you want in the great
stock Offered during this big
Red Tag Sale, at prices re-
duced from 20 per cent. to 25
per cent.
Suppose you save 25 per
cent. You have S25. OF your
800 left to put in the bank
or TO use for other things.
Buy the things you need
now while the prices are low
er than ever before. This
plan carried out consistently
will reduce your cost of liv-
ing surprisingly.
