Gathered From Our Exchanges Ov,
the State.


Work has been resumed OF the Mead
ow Ridge road, the construction of
wnich was susr ended when the early
SHOWS Of last November made further
work impossible. This new road will
in'part become section OF the main
highway from Elk River to Orofino,
which every good citizen hopes will
soon tie Clearwater county together.
1t is OF immediate use in affording
egress to fertile region Inhabited by
real settlers who are developing real
farms in the Elk Creek valley. About
10 miles Of new road will reduce the
present haul to town from IS mi es to
less than 10, besides making travel
with load practicable, although here
tofore impossible. The work is being
done by day labor, under the direction
OF j. E. Miehaelis, Road Supervisor
King being laid up by an attack of la
grippe. Mr.. Michaelis is working ten
totwelNe Men and several teams and
expects to have the ;oo completed
early in July, depending somewhat up
on the weather. Beginning Just south
OF Elk River the new road will run al
most due south for two miles, crossing
the railroad near Jersey. Atthat point
the county was to have bridged the
track. which there runs into a cut, but
backed down, because of the expense,
about 81, 100. After two miles the old
Jericho road will be followed, and for
NEARLY six miles below Frank Smiths
ranch an entirely new highway will run
down the ridge psrallelling Elk creek
to the point above Meadow creek. The
work will not be heavy burt the total of
side-hil grading will amount to very
re e'pectable aggregate. Only one bridge
of SO or GO feet span, will be needed,
apart from the lie across the C. M.
& P. S. at Jersey, which must eventu-
ally be buit. AS the right-of-way has
been given to the county and the work
lis being done by the ranchers most in
lterested in its success it is thought that
the cost can be kept down to about
$500. This is remarkably low figure
for the work to be Gone.-Elk River

Vast Sums Given Out in Pensions

While no one will begrudge liberal
pension to any veteran or surviving de-
pendent Of soldier wounded in the
service of his country, it seems intoler-
able that As years after the close Of the
civil war the enormous sum of $751;
682, ,0]0 should be spent in single year
for pensions. In 1909 the pension list
cost $164, ,826, 2s7, says Herbert Bruce
Fuller, in the May Lippincott, in his
article on "How Congress Squanders
Our Money"
Since 1899 our pension appropriations
have been in excess of slOO, O0O, 600 an
nually, and since 1908 in excess of
$3.50, 0,C0o,000. II the so-ealled Sherwood
bill becomes law, more than $225,-
0oO,00J will be necessary TO meet our
pension budget for the fiscal year
ending June 50, 1913.
These figures are the more impressive
when we consider the military pension
appropriations Of various European
countries. In i9i0 ou" pension ex-
pend lures amounted to $l62, 63l, 72o.9i.
For the SAME yeaa England expended
s.@,3l1,2 25si Frame expended 1,9eG,-
CO.; Tie German Empire SO, ,S05, SD;
Austris, s-D,53l ,6GS; Hungary, $i,495,-
75t. The o.al expenditures OF these
five European nations for that year
combined were Sl29, l94, 094, or S33,-
OQa,0)o less than hose OF the United
States alone.
For 1911 the Survivors of the civil
war on lie union side drew pensions
ageregatlng Sl4S,2 81 ,G65, while in the
southern states the survivors of the
Confederate side drew bu. s5, $50, ,S:3,:33.
In Virginia the Union veterans in that
year drew 81 ,4Se, ,553, while the Confed-
crate Yete:ans drew but S45O0OO. In
Louisiana the sEm Of Sl,024,Gl3 was
disbursed among Union veterans, and
but Si75,003 among the Confederate
veterans.
Not .e least Objectionable feature Of
our pension system is the fact that
from - 10 30 per cent of our pensioners
enjoy an annual net income of more
than so 0. IN the southern states the
pension roll is based primarily upon

Among those who may be mem
toned at this time is our little
German friend, DuGy Unholz,
farmer Of Denver, Colo and at
one time one of The best adver-
tised fighters in the business.
Thanksgiving day Rudy was in
weighed into going to Memphis,
Tenn, to battle one Joe Sehrman,
of Baltimore. Md. at Willie HACKS
club. Rudy didn't fancy the match
particularly, but being anxious to
get started, he took it on at 1875
pounds. When he got to Memphis
he found it was to be 1873 pounds
instead. When it came time to
weigh in. Sherman was invisible
and never did show up. He admit
ted to 142, but looked all of 14S.
Unholz took him on unhesitatingly
and fought so valiantly that he got
draw, and, if anything, had "a
little shade on the heavy work.
That made six straight victories
for Rudy, which include the TWEEN
ty-round draw he had with Yoak-
um in Las Vegas, n. NJ, the night
before the Johnson Flynn battle,
which contest Rudy really won, but
got no better than a draw. He
knocked out a tough one in Vic
tor Colo, Labor day and thinks
he has done enough to demonstrate
that he is a real come back.
There is no reason now why the
promoters shouldn't take care of
Unholz. He is a sincere, honest
little fellow who gives his very
best efforts at all times The game
would be vastly better off if some
of the knockers took cognizance of
him and tried to model themselves
accordingly
