Federal Aid for Good Roads.

II Il works out as expected, by all the odds
the greatest force ever harnessed for good roads
in the United States will be set in motion BY the
federal highways law signed few days ago by
President Wilson, Through this agency the ma
ton and the various states are to unite In formu-
lating and constructing permanent roadways in
place of the haphazard work now in vogue
The federal good roads law will not super
sede or modify local plans for permanent road
ways. but simply backs up, with federal ap-
preparation Of $75000000, the expenditure by the
states Of like sum in the aggregate in the build
ing Of durable roads planned by state highway
commissioners and approved by the secretary of
agriculture. In effect the law provides for CO.
operative plan Of road building. and an equal
division Of the cost to the extent Of the federal
apportionment to each state, This means total
expenditure Of $ls0,000O00 for permanent road
ways in the next FIVE years, provided each state
does its share. Besides the ffty-6fty split with
the states, the measure carries an additional $l0,-
100000 for the building Of roads through national
forest reserves
Ncbraskas possible share under the appor-
tionment amounts to $1,000 5OO Iowa, $2,26O, 500;
Kansas, $2,23l,2s0; South Dakota, $l,2s6,250;
Wyoming, $os62s0, and Colorado, $l,302,OO0, q
total Of $9,766,7s0 for these six states from the
federal treasury. An equal sum, or more from
western state treasures will give good road. an
irresistible forward movement in the coming FIVE
years. The penalty for the failure OF any state
to qualify is that its people would thus be paying
for the roads built in other states and get no
direct benefit in return.

THE MAKING OF TUNNELS.

An Industry That Is Almost as Old as
the World Itself.
While tunneling is among the most
ancient of enterprises. yet more prog
ress has been made In 1t the last GEN.
fury than in the twenty centuries
which preceded 1t. Ii Is now known
that back In the semi-mythical days
Of the Theban kings the long tunnel
into the mountain rock, expanding at
lofty chamber, was common work Of
princes. The rock temples Of Nubia,
too, and Of India show that In certain
matters, at any rate, moderns may
still learn from ancients.
Then again In Algeria, Switzerland,
wherever the Romans went, are to
be found tunnels of all kinds and de-
signed for all purposes, for roads and
drains and water supplies. Pliny
makes mention of one notable achieve
ment. the greatest of its kind In his
day, the great tunnel constructed for
the drainage Of Lake Fucino. 1t was
by far the longest artificial tunnel in
the world at that time. More than
three and half miles long. it was
driven under Monte Salviano and re-
quired for its construction shafts Of
no less than 400 feet Some 10000
men were employed on it for eleven
years.
From the time of the Romans until
the latter end of the eighteenth CEN
fury no great advance was made in
tunneling methods. Old engravings Of
mining work in the early years Of the
seventeenth century show the pickax
or hammer and chisel as still the chief
tools employed. With the advent Of
the railway, however, tunneling be-
came one of the grand necessities Of
construction. and progress was more
rapid

ALLOW PENSIONS FOR INDIAN
WAR VETERANS.
Continued from page IL

and so yesterday the Commercial club
sent the following letter to Secretary
of the Interior Lane:
ssThe Lewiston Commercial club has
recently been provided with informa
ton of the passage by congress of house
resolution 655, extending the provisions
of the pension law for survivors of In
dian wars to volunteers and other parti-
cipants in the Nez Perez and Bannock
Indian wars of 1877 and 1873 in Idaho.
1t is noted that this bill amends two
previous acts, one of July, 1862, and
the other of February 10, 1913. We
note that under the terms of the origi-
nal act, parties desiring to apply for
pensions must make proof before the
secretary of the interior as to qualify
ing for pension. Since a publication
of the passage of the act the CONNER
cial club is receiving inquiries to its
terms and other information, and so
write to request that you give us any
data you can as to how the applicant
should proceed in submitting this proof
to your Office
1t is noted by the terms of the new
bill that the person entitled to the
pension must have reached the age of
sixty-two years. The general terms
of the act provide that the person en-
titled to the pension shall have served
q period of thirty days, but continues:
"That if any certain one of the said
campaigns did not cover a period of
thirty days, the provisions of this act
shall apply to those who served during
the entire period or said campaign;
provided further, that where there is
no record of enlistment or muster into
the service of the United States in any
of the wars mentioned in this act, the
record of pay by the United States
shall be accepted as full and satisfac-
tory proof of such enlistment and se.-
vice; and provided further, that all con-
tracts heretofore made between tie
beneficiaries under this act and pension
attorneys and claim agents are hereby
declared null and void.
"That the period of service Der
formed by beneficaries under this act
shall be determined by reports from the
records of the war department, where
there is such record, and by the re-
ports from the records of the treasury
department showing payment by the
United States where there is no record
of regular enlistment or muster into the
United States military service: provid-
ed, that when there is no record of SER
vice or payment for same in the war
department or treasury department, the
applicant may establish the service by
satisfactory evidence from the muster
rolls on file in the sevaral state or ter
ritorial archives: and provided fur
ther, that the want of certificate of
discharge shall not deprive any appli-
cant of the benefits of this act. -"

CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM.
Cavities Holding Pus, II Is Claimed.

In the American Magazine Is an arti-
Gle on rheumatism by DR.. Arthur X.
Reynolds. who says:
THE cause Of rheumatism is pus
formed and imprisoned in some part
of the body. Ii gets into the circula-
ton and is carried by 1t to the region
affected. These pus places may be In
spots more or less closed up. SO they
are not easily drained. They may be
located about the teeth, at the end OF
the roots of dead or diseased teeth, in
the crypts or the tonsils, In some or
the sequestered places In the nostriis,
In the bony sinuses of the head. They
may be In the bladder. the kidney. the
gall ducts or other places. The pus
producing spot may be as small or
smaller than pea or 1t may be larger
Its existence is frequently unknown to
the patient. especially If 1t be hidden
In soft tissue like the tonsiL 1t may
even exist in the bony socket of a
tooth without giving pain.
Several different organisms produce
pus, and any or all may produce rheu-
matism when transferred to the joints
or the heart.
1.-THE physician today seeks for the
pus cavity when he meets patient
with rheumatism, and he endeavors to
clean it up. Rheumatic pains have
been stopped with magical promptness
by simply extracting the offending
tooth 1t Is not always easy to find
the pus places in the hidden parts Of
the body The X ray shadowgraph is
essential in locating the trouble, 1t
shows definitely and accurately all
trouble about the roots Of the teeth.
and its use is therefore of the first i'm
portance in ferreting out the pus in the
deep structures"

VALUE OF GOLD.
While That 10 Fixed, Its Price 10 Regu-
lated by Premiums.

lated by Premiums.
Gold Is not considered a commodity
In the ordinary sense Of the term, but
Is the basis on which the values Of
commodities are determined. Its value
does not fuctuate, but is universally
fixed at $2066 % ounce or its equiva-
lent. Its price, however, fuctuates, as
In the case Of premiums. Its value is
stationary; hence the term premium.
The difference between the fluctuation
Of that and the purchasing power Of
gold may be simply illustrated as fol-
lows:
That while its value remains station
airy a premium would serve to reduce
Its purchasing power, to be added to its
cost, but an advance in the price Of
commodities would operate to reduce
the purchasing price of gold. taking 81
as a unit.
For instance, a dollar will purchase
an article whose price comedies. but
IL an advance in the commodity raises
the price of that particular article to
S1.10 the purchasing power or gold
would necessarily be reduced proper
tionately. Or. again, In times of adj
yersity, commodities are cheap, the
supply invariably exceeding the de-
mand, the purchasing power of gold
would then be greater than In times of
prosperity, when the supply does not
meet the demand and higher prices for
commodities result
There Is no difference In the cost of
pennyweight of gold today from
what 1t was ten years or more ago.
