FACING BIG PROBLEM.
Highway Drainage Important Question
in Highway Propaganda.


in Highway Propaganda.
Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines June 27,-One Of the big
problems OF the highway propaganda.
as it affects counties of northern Iowa
especially. is that of highway drainage.
Representative Kulp, of Palo Alto
county, called on the attorney general
this week and discussed this phase
with him.
Mr. Kulp states that practically al!
the highways handled by the county
must be drained in some parts of the
state. This IS the first step toward
having good roads" said MIR. kulp. Ut
would not be possible TO have good
roads at all until this drainage work is
done About all that can be done this
year is to complete all this preliminar"
work-establishing county roads. sur
vey OF same. making profles. fixing up
The bridges and approaches and COM
pleting drainage. That is quite enough
for the present.
Some question has arisen as to the
method of creating a drainage district
including a county highway. Under
the old system the township trustees
took the initiative, but now it is for
the county board to act on its own mo-
ton and order drainage of the county
roads. In many cases this is being
done

Broken for Memorial.
One Carries 81 Bullets i'm His

New York, Feb. 22.-Twenty- nine
full blood Indian chiefs from western
reservations, bedecked in the regalia
of their rank, marched stolidly up the
hill at Fort Wadsworth, Staten island.
today with their ''Great White Fa-
ther," President Taft, and members of
his official family. At the crest of the
hill, the highest point on the Atlantic
coast between New York and Florida,
they formed a silent group as the
president upturned spadeful of
earth, breaking ground for the ma
tional American Indian memorial, a
so foot bronze statue of an Indian
warrior which will tower 165 feet
above the highest elevation around
New York harbor, tribute to van
ishing race.
The guns of the fort roared a ma
tional salute of 21 guns at the moment
the president placed his foot on the
spade. AS he stepped back. Chief Hol-
low Horn Bear of the Yankton Sioux,
came forward from the group and up
turned a second bit of earth with the
thigh bone of a buffalo. That done
the chief replied with speech to an
address by the president. AS Hollow
Horn Bears voice died away, the stars
and stripes were run up a great flag
folk songs, sung by the chfeftains.
When it reached the top, the band
broke out with the Star S'nangled Ban

The gathering of the Indians
marked the last time, perhaps, that so
many native chiefs will assemble in
the east. Most of them are between
rs and so years old, some of them
fought against Custer, among those
being Chief Hollow Horn Bear, who
stands six feet four inches tall, and
Chief White Man n-RunS-Him, more
than 20 years old, tall. straight as a
pine tree and one of the finest speci-
mems of the Indian alive today.
White Man n-Runs-Him was chief of
the Custer scouts.
Others were Chief Two Moons, 80,
nearly blind and almost hidden by
feathers bespeaking his prowess; and
Pretty Voice Eagle of the Sioux. sew
enty-odd, who carries in his body 21
bullets picked up in 20 fights and skir-
mishes with government troops and
neighboring tribes.
A distinguished gathering witnessed
the memorial exercises. The plan had

tee of which Rodman Wanamaker is

held in allegiance.
