Ehrhart outlines Road Plan.

Thos j. Ehrhart, state highway COM
missioner, has a somewhat different
plan for centralizing the control OF
road building in Colorado from that
offe. ed by other experts. Mr.. Ehrhart
is strong exponent of the centraliza-
tion plan, but offers a less circuitous
path, some students of the problem
believe, to achieving 1t than that
which entails the practical abolish
ment OF the present highway statutes,
with bond issue Of 100000. Mr..
Ehrharts plan involves in effect the
same provisions as that submitted by
other experts to the state survey COM
mittee, which has undertaken clear
ing house, statewide suggestion
method of framing practical law, but
1t does not give the state highway
commission plenary control, nor take
maintenance responsibility for state
roads off the shoulders of the county
authorities. Under the plan proposed
to the state survey committee the
highway commission would be en-
powered to take over all state roads
after they are completed and keep
lneih III cohuitlon, anu nave auVisory
control over the county roads. Mr..
Ehrhart's proposal provides that the
highway commission shall have only
authority to compel the counties to do
the necessary amount of maintenance
work. 1t provides also for road over
seers, chosen by competitive examina-
tion If necessary, in each county. who
will be subject to removal by the high
way commission.

PAPER MAKING TIMBER

Rapid Rise In Cost Of Paper May
Make Possible Utilization Of
States Great Forests

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The recent rapid rise In
the cost of print paper and the diff
culties encountered by the mills In
their efforts to supply the demand at
any cost have led both government
bureaus and private companies to ex-
pertinent with chips of various west
ern woods, and experiments conduct
ed by the Forest Service. according to
. bulletin just issued by TIE latter de-
partinent. especially, have demonstrat-
ed that good grades of paper can be
made from a number OF woods here
tofore not used. 1t is estimated tEat
some of these woods when cut into
chips. dried and baled, can be deliv'
cred to the mills at a very small ad'
vance over the cost of local timber.
Wisconsin papermakers are said to be
already profiting from the experiment.
Much OF Colorado's best timber, To-
Gated in the southern portions of the
state, is yellow pine and unsuited for
wood pulp purposes. but there are
also thousands of acres OF Engelmann
and blue spruce, aspen, alpine fir,
lodgepole pine and other varieties of
pulp wood in the national forests that
could be utilized II local factory
was established or better freight rates
made to eastern points. IL is claimed
The cost of labor in Colorado would
also be a factor to be considered.
However, II the paper scarcity con-
tinues 1t is thought extremely likely
that some effort will be made to uti-
lize Colorado's vast timber resources,
either by manufacturing the paper
here or attempting to obtain more ia
vorable rates to Wisconsin plants.

Freight Car Shortage.

Denver.-The shortage of freight
cars in the United States, predicted

measure of prompt relief, the commits

Annual Potato Show a. Monte Vista


Monte Vista. Colo.-The first annual
potato show given by the Farmers
Union Association of the Monte Vista
district was held here. The potato
crop in this section this year has been
far beyond anything ever known be-
fore. Yield and prices have been phe-
nomenal. The farmers arranged the
show to exchange ideas as to the most
successful methods used, as well as to
celebrate their success In the growing
of their crops. During the exhibition
number of farmers publicly burned
the mortgages on their land, this
years crop having enabled them to
pay off all indebtedness.
Some of the yields reported by indi-
vidual farmers were painted on
streamers and posted in conspicuous
places at the potato show. For in
stance, William Macy and sons report
ed gross return of s423.1 10 from one
measured acre. William Bowsher
cleared $4,000 from 100 acres.
About 1900 carloads of potatoes
have been shipped already from Mon
te Vista and Del Norte stations, and
1000 cars remain awaiting transport
alton facilities. The potato growers
plan to build $4,000 storage house
next summer to hold their crops in
case other years have car shortages
such as marked the present year.
