'I don't believe the captain Of our

PROPOSED APPROPRIATIONS
FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT

with congress contemplating an
appropriation of twenty-five million
dollars or more for highway improve
ment; with states and committees
spending two hundred and fifty mill
ions this year for the same purpose;
and with cities spending nearly as
much more for payements, it becomes
the serious duty of technical organi
cations devoted to the subject to see
the money is properly expended ac'
cordng to a statement by President
George W. Tillson of the American
Road Builders association.
"At least ten dollars is being spent
on country roads and city streets at
the present time for every dollar
that was spent fifteen years ago."
continued Mr.. Tillson. "Where one
vehicle went over the roads and
streets a decade and a half ago, ten
go now; so that it is a problem for
officials, engineers and contractors to
keep pace in methods of construc-
ton and maintenance of roads and
streets with the destructive agencies
which multiply so rapidly"
The American Road Builders as
sociaton will hold its thirteenth an
nual convention and the seventh ma
tional good roads show at Pittsburgh,
Pa, during the week of February rs.
The good roads show is the exhibit
tion of road materials and road build
ing and paving machinery by which
those who build the roads are kept
in touch with the developments in
facilities and labor-saving devices for
the work
"This association" said Tillson, 'is
devoted to actual construction of
roads and streets. It's conventions
are for the sole purpose of bringing
out what is best and most economi-
cal in making and keeping up high
ways The papers and discussions are
prepared, not by theorists and vision
aries, but by competent men engaged
in the work: men who have solved
certain problems and are prepared to
state the solutions; and also to listen
and profit by the solutions by others
of other problems which constantly
arise. It is this interchange of eX-
perence which gives these conven-
tions the high standing which they
enjoy"
Regarding the change of time of
the 1916 convention from fall to early
spring, Mr. Tillson stated that the
change was made after careful con-
sideration. Last years business will
have been closed and reports made"
he said. "Work for the coming sea-
son will be outlined and preparations
under way. The needs of highway of
ficials and engineers for specific in
formation, and of contractors for
equipment will be known: and the
convention and good road show will
provide for all their requirements at
an opportune time

robbed of $4,000 by the state oper-
ating a rock crusher at the Granite
reformatory in competition with free
labor.
Governor Williams refutes tn,
statement by the secretary of the
state federation by showing that the
rock used by the railroad that pur-
chases it is for ballast in this state
and that this is permitted by the con-
stitution and laws. The following
section of the statutes beng quoUeu:
'ln no event shall convicts in this
state ever be employed in any coal
or mineral mines of this state other
than stone, or such other material
as will be necessary for the construc-
ton and maintenance of the public
highways or public works of the
state"
The governor said that the report
of the state board of public affairs,
which was transmitted to the legisla-
ture on Jan. %, 1916, shows that
under this contract a spur two miles
long was built from the station at
Granite to the prison. For years
freight in carload lots had been haul
ed by teams to the prison, and under
this arrangement the railroad was
furnished riprap for ballasting, bridge
piers. and in some instances crushed
stone, to pay for the crossties and
rails for the spur, which now belongs
to the state; but it just so happens
that a railroad in the state is a pub
lie highway, as it is in all states.
Section 6 of Article IN of the consti-
tuition of this state provides:

timated that this statement showed
what he believed, that they were op-
posed to any kind of an industry at
the penitentiary other than farming
and that they were opposed to the
state manufacturing its own brick for
state use or doing anything except

that he had convictions on taese mat

Adonia cIoutier Gets Jail Sentence for
Vagrancy-Sentence Suspended

Adonia Cloutier. aged 10 years. was
before the municipal court Monday
morning to answer to the charge of va
grancy, preferred by City Marshal Har-
wood. Cloutier had been before the
court before on different charges and
was not prepared to say much in an
swer to the charge of Monday morn
ing. his chief excuse for not being en-
ployed being that when people found
out who he was they would not give
him work. The court disposed of the
case by giving him a sentence of 90
days in Jail with costs taxed at 1882,
which was suspended upon Cloutier's
promising to go to work at once. He is
supposed to have begun work Monday
afternoon in the Edwards mills.
The other business before the cour :.
consisted of two cases, the charges in
each being intoxication The respon-
dent in one was given 80 days in Jail.

man, who was a veteran at the Nation
al Home. would get time ION the
dump when he got back to the Home.
and the other respondent was given a
sentence of 81 and costs or 30 DAYS in
Jail.

Theodore Roberts and Anita King in
the Jesse L. Lasky production of AN
ton the Terrible" will be the attraction
at the Opera House today.
Theodore Roberts has the supreme
distinction Of being Americas leading
character actor In his years on the
stage and screen. he has been seen in
many different roles, in all of which
he has been ideal, but it is said that
as the cruel head of the Russian Secret
Police. Anton the Terrible" he excels
anything he has done heretofore.
The versatile and beautiful Anita
King, the Paramount Girl, who re-
Gently scored such success in her
play, THE Race. founded upon her
famous transcontinental automobile
trip plays the part of the young cir,
upon whom Anton wishes to revenge
himself for her fathers crime The
role is exactly suited to Miss Kings
appealing personality, and the Lasl1y
Company feels that they have made a
most excellent selection In co-starrng
these two artists.
The story which created such a SEN
