NEWS NOTES FROM

$4,000 To Be Expended On Crawling
Echo District Roads.

$4,000 To Be Expended On Crawling
Echo District Roads.
AS soon as the weather warns up
enough to allow the ground to be
worked, the construction of a gravel
road between Echo and Butter creek
will start. This is the announce
ment made by Road Supervisor Wat
tenburger in a conference with repre-
sentatives of the Commercial Club
yesterday evening.
Work will start at the top of the
hill just west of town and will con-
tinue until the available money is ex-
pended. Mr.. Wattenburger expects
to use about fifteen teams to start
with. Gravel will be hauled from a
loading trap at the river, and will
be spread about five yards to the rod.
This will make gravel coating six
inches thick. The gravel will be
screened before loading.
There is now available in the Echo
road district fund about $4,000. The
supervisor estimates that gravel road
under the conditions west of town
will cost a little more than $500 to
the mile. He intends to complete
the graveling of a small strip on the
Meadows road between Cunha's cor
ner and Fred Andrews place, but the
cost Of this will be small, and the bal
ance will be expended In improving
the Butter creek road as far as pos
sible.
This is unquestionably the worst
piece of road over which there is
heavy traffic in this district, and the
improvement is very much needed

ARMY BILL EXPECTED
TO PASS SENATE SOON
Chamberlain Measure Probably Will
Be Carried by Chamber Latter
Part of Next Week.

Present indications are that the
Chamberlain army reorganization bill
will be passed by the Senate the lat
ter part of next week. Debate on the
measure was resumed yesterday, and
although it was of perfunctory
character. there were signs that there
is opposition in the Senate to all pre-
paredness bills. Senator Thomas, of
Colorado. declared that he would vote
for the Chamberlain bill. at the same
time expressing adherence at the
''warlike spirit" prevailing in the
country. The Colorado Senator de-
nounced the preparedness organiza-
lions.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, made
brief speech and Senator Smith, of
Georgia. defended his amendment for
vocational training in connection with
military training. He read letters
from Gen. Leonard Wood and other ex
perts approving the vocational educa-
ton plan.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, pro-
posed an amendment to the bill re-
ducing the period of enlistment from
seven to five years. with but two years
with the colors, and making 1t discre-
tionary with the officers to give men
their honorable discharges at the end
of a year II it should be demonstrated
that they are qualified at that time as
soldiers. f.

OF the government intend TO DO their ut
most TO apply a restraining influence II

Proposals have been made in Congress
that the best way 10 reduce gasoline

SAYS BRAZIL CAN GIVE
u. S. CITIES A LESSON
Charles Wellington Furlons Tells
Geographic Society of South
American Municipalities.

The cities of Brazil could give many
of our American cities a muCh-needed
lesson in how to keep their municipal
front doors clean and attractive" said
Charles Wellington FuTlong in his lee
ture on Brazil, before members of the
National Geographic Society in New Ma
sonic Auditorium yesterday afternoon
and evening.
Mr. Furlong, who Is a lecturer and
author of distinction, did not endeavor
to take his audience through the for
ests and jungles of the Amazon, but
confined his talk and his superb ColOred
stereopticon views to modern Brazil,
showing the wonderful municipal the
aters, broad boulevards. impressive pub
lie buildings and magnificent private
residences in such centers of population
as Santos, Rio de JaneirO. Bahia. Per-
nambuCa and Para.
One of the most interesting features of
Mr.. Furlong's address was his compari-
son of the present excellent sanitary
condition of the principal ports of the
great southern nation with the deplora-
BILE condition which existed a few years
ago
The great beauties of Rio de Janeiro.
the capital city, offered a delightful
theme for the lecturer, and his analysis
of some of the scenes. with their balanced
lines, their high lights and their con-
trasts were artistic treats.
