ROADS ARE MADE TOO WIDE?
Western Roadways Are From Fifty to
Sixty Feet in Width-Much of
Space Grown to Weeds.

It is argued that as general thing
and particularly in the West, the
roads OF the United States are too
wide. The West and Germany are
compared in this respect 1t is point
ed out that while in Germany, where
the traffic is enormous, the highways
are but 20 and 21 feet, in the West,
where the traffic is comparatively
light, and land worth $100 an acre.
the roadways are from fifty to sixty
feet in width, three-fourths of which
grows up in weeds and grass.
1t can hardly be said, however, that
the roads are too wide in the eastern
states. Mountain travellers, especial
Iy. will smile at the idea of wide roads
in reading of the subject, having
many a time and oft met face to face
other travellers far from the wide
place." with the result that their ve-
hicles had to be taken apart and car
ride by piecemeal or stood up at

the other hugged the perilous edge of

Washington, June 23.-Despite the
supreme court decision yesterday
against Outsiders" who sought to in
validate the Southern Pacific patents
to California oil lands, worth $780,
100000, it seems certain today the
government will not drop the suits to
recover the Midway and Coalinga
properties held by the railroad. 1t
is reiterated that the ruling on "out-
siders' claims does not necessarily
mean the government cannot recover
the tract, which, after patents were
issuei, proved to be minerafsbearfng.s
The Midway and Coalinga suits con-
Germ properties worth hundred mil
lions.
In its efforts to recover the prop
critics, the governments argument is
that, although it's representatives did
not known the properties were oil
bearing, at the time the patents were
granted, that the Southern Pacific
management was aware of that fact,
and consequently the transactions,
were fraudulent.

America is allowed but six entrants
it will be impossible for her to win.
He said if the six-man rule prevails
the probabilities are that America will
not be represented. After the meet

dicted that the twelve-entrance rule
will be restored.
