MILLIONS FOR ROADS
in Congress Arranges Com
promise Federal Aid Bill Calling for Ex-
penditures Of $l3.000.0O0 for High
ways, Which Will Be Listed and CLASH
fled

WASHINGTON. April l0.--A COM
promise bill providing for Federal
aid In road building agreed upon
BY subcommittee in Congress after
considering nearly fifty measures In.
troduced in the House Of Represan-
tatives arranges for Sl3,000,000 to
be spent by the government. The
authors OF the fifty measures spoken
Of have arranged to support the
compromise. which was introduced
by Representative Hanna. OF North
Dakota. Furthermore. Speaker Clark
and Chairman Underwood. Of the
Ways and Means Committee, are on
record al favoring the proposed good
roads legislation. so the chances are
oil In favor OF the compromise pass
ting the House.
There is great interest among legis-
lators In the subject Of good roads,
rejecting the views Of their con-
stituencies. Various causes have con-
tributed to make the good roads issue
potent. One thing Is the automo-
bile. Another is the extension of
the r. F. D. service by the post
office department.. Also. the farmers
realize the greater value to them OF
good roads in the transportation of
their goods to market. Railroad men
who realize that better roads mean
more freight and more business also
are interested In roads.
Under the Federal aid bill. II is
estimated. nearly 1000. 900 miles Of
roads will get help. They fail in
three classes: Class A, numbering
about $1,000 mites: Class b. about
$4,000. and Glass G.. $4,000 miles
Class A embraces well graded roads
outside Of Incorporated cities, towns
and villages Of not less than one
mile in length, upon which the steep
est incline shall not exceed 5 per
cent, wherever practicable: not less
than 30 feet wide between the bitches,
with wagon way or road track not
less than, IL feet wide, composed
Of bituminous macadam. brick or Of
macadam not less than six inches
thick, rolled. bonded and maintained
with smooth. firm surface, both
shoulders and roadway properly con-
structed and continuously cared for.
Class b takes in roadways Of burnt
clay. shells. sand clay or gravel not
less than eight inches thick. con-
tinuously kept we'll compacted and
properly crowned 20 as to shed water
quickly into the side bitches. Class
G. Il OF roads that are to be kept
well graded. crowned and drained,
not less than sixteen feet wide. with
split log drag. so as to be reason
ably passable for wheeled vehicles at
all times.
The government will pay toward
Class A. $25 mile per annum: for
Class b, $40 a mile per annum. and
for Class c. SIS mile per annum.

cation in that city;
Dallas, Ore, February 8, 1912
"In short article appearing in the
Salem Statesman, and from several
other sources of information, / have
learned that there was some sort Of q
misunderstanding among Salem people
regarding the official dedication of our
new armory in this city on Monday
evening, and also the grand military
ball given in this city on Tuesday ey-
ening. What caused this misunder-
standing, am unable to learn. It
seems that the Board Of Trade and the
Business Mems League and Company
M, of the Oregon National Guard, all
thought that they had been invited to
attend these two functions, but we're
waiting for formal invitations, and
these not being received by them, or
any Of them, they, and each Of them,
felt sllghted, and, as a result no Salem
people attended either of these two
events
In the first place, want to say that
both Of these affairs were entirely and
wholly public in their nature, the one
Of Monday being free entertainment,
and the one OF Tuesday evening being
a ball for which tickets were sold to
whoever might apply for the same,
with the exception OF visiting National
Guard officers, who were given compli-
mentary tickets. No invitations to any
organization or organizations were Is
sued, except as such invitations we're
included In the general invitation TO
the public at large. II was not an
invitation affair at all. If you will re-
member, in my first letter to you, I
merely stated that under separate COW
er was sending you some posters
concerning these two events and that
| would be pleased to have you give
the matter some newspaper mention;
and, further, that would like to see
a number Of Salem people over here
at that time, and that when Salem ded-
lcated lts new armory Dallas would
reclprocate by sending a delegation
overe there
No lntimatlon Of any understanding
upon the part Of Salem people came
to me until late Monday evening. when
