Engineers Report to Local
Executive Committee After
Making Inspection Tour of
Road to Indianapolis.

That the Michigan road leading out
of South Bend through Logansport

can easily be improved 70 serve suit
ably for a proposed connection with
the Lincoln highway here, Is the gist
OF a report made by City Engineer
Moore and G. y Franks. who We're
appointed By the executive committee
in charge OF the local end OF the
movement TO make an inspection tour
Of the route. The report which was
made public by Mayor Keller, chair
man OF the committee, states that IN
certain localities along the route some
little construction work viii have to
be done before the road VIII De in a
condition TO compare with finished
stretches OF the Lincoln highway
one OF the worst spots in the road
way Is the four miles which lead out
OF this city to Lakeville- However
the engineers state that with very
little expense even this spot could be
constructed into modern serviceable
highway. New gravel and consistent
grading would change il for the bet
ter, according to the report
Made Tour OF Inspection.
The report follows tour OF lnspec-
ton made By the engineers on July
IS. for the special purpose of deterIn-
ming just how much time and labor
would have TO be devoted TO the en-
appointed committees to supervise the
work in their counties, and with the
cooperation OF these committees as
su-ed. IL is thought that the project
at least will be started within "A short
time.
The committees in Upton. Mobiles
Vile, Kokomo and Peru have decided
10 hold what will be known as Good
Roads" days, the features OF which
no n rat ID
how much benefit would be derived
from the development of the project.
Both Engineers Moore and Franks
urge their report that the mayor set
aside date for meeting OF the
local executive committee at which
time some definite action can be plan
ned. The committee feels that the
project has been in the air long
enough. and for that reason comes
the urgent appeal for action from
them.
Have Let Contracts.
One of the portions Of the proposed
roadway that is in the poorest cOndt-
ton is reported by the committee TO
exist In the entire portion which tray
erses the north portion OF North
township in Marshall county. How
ever. the committee in charge of the
construction work in that county has
awarded the contracts for the recon
structiOn of the road and IL Is Selu
that within the month their end OF
the work will be completed.
In the southern part of Fulton
county the committee also found a
poor stretch of roadway. They adVo-
Gated the immediate grading and gray
cling OF that portion which is very
sandy and otherwise unfit for autOmo-
&c traffic.
The executive committee in charge
of the local end of the work is com
posed of Mayor Fred W. Keller, +. W.

SOUTH BEND PRICES
SOAR RESULT OF WAR
Both Meats and Groceries Are
Going Up SteadiIy-Chi-
CagO Prices Raise.

Prices in South Bend for both gro
ceries and meats took a jump Tues
day, due. local grocers and butchers
declare. to the increased cost of
wholesale meats and staples in chi
cagO.
Steak took a jump of from four to
five cents a pound, while lamb and
pork scared five cents higher than ii
was Monday. Good beef is very
scarce and hard to obtain.
Sugar rose two cents and coffee one
cent There is also probability that
flour, TIA. spices and all kinds of
breadstuffs will so up as result Of the
war
Local butchers are inclined to be-
lieve that the increase in the whole
sale price of meats is due to an in
crease caused by Chicago packers,
who are taking advantage of the stu
aIiOn. The Chicago packing firms lay
understood. who are holding back for
higher prices.
CHICAGO. Aug. 11.-With meat
prices ranging from two TO eight
cents anove those of Saturday. the
cost of war was felt in practically
every Chicago home today. The prices
OF the needs have also advanced and
there was a possibility they would
continuc to go up.
The JUMP in meat was considered
so serious to-day that the directors of
the Chicago Butchers association
called a meeting for Thursday to dis
cuss the change and appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the causes.
Many butchers blamed the packers
for the advance
Steaks today were quoted at from
two to six cents higher than Saturday
while roasts sold from % to 80 cents
pound, an increase of from two TO
three cents
At the stock yards, hogs were more
than S120 higher than last week and
receipts were smaller. Packers said
there was a scarcity of animals and
that the farmers were holding for a
higher market.
Corn. wheat and oats yesterday
closed much higher The only mark
etable food not high at present is the
potato.

Four Year
 High School
For Newport Public School To
 Be Established Next Year.

A four year high school for the Newport Public Schools, as re- commended by Prof. Edgar Will liams, superintendent, was de- cided upon Saturday night at a regular meeting of the school board.
 A four year course of study will give a graduate of this school entrance to the Freshman year of the State University and other colleges and universities with which we are not now full ly accredited.
 The change becomes effective the next school year and will calt for an additional high school teacher, who will probably have Latin and one other department. The addition of another year to the high school does not mean that the pupil will be required to spend another or 12 years in the Public school, but that the conn mon school work will be complet- ed in seven years instead Of eight as under the present course of study leaving four years for high school work.
 This change is approved by the state department of educa- tion and in line with the pro- gressive schools of the state ana country. Our public schools should be and are we believe of that high standard, which prompt feeling of pride upon the part of our people.
 The vacancies in the teaching staff have not as yet been filled, though Mrs. F. J. Harmon has been made principal of the East Newport school.

Admiral Fletcher reports that sniping has entirely ceased and the mu- nicipal officers are endeavoring to reorganize the government.
 Four regiments of the Fifth brigade under General Funstan arrived this morning and four transports reached here from Galveston last night. All pre- parations for landing were made, but some hitch in plans evidently developed, though off, cials do not admit the delay was ordered though obvious.
 It is now possible to marshal 10000 American troops in this city but it is believed that the marines and bluejackets will be relieved by the army.
 The outposts held by the ma- rines have been extended sev- eral miles and the positions held are we'll entrenched and secured against attack.

 Admiral Fletcher has re- ceived information from the capital city that Americans are now faring better from the Mexicans and there is also a story undercurrent of opposi- tion even in the capital city to Huerta, as indicated in the secret distribution of a circular throughout the city warning Mexicans against being drawn to the support of Huerta by anti-American demonstrations and pointing out that the Unit ed States is making war upon the dictator and provisional president and not upon the Mex ican people.
