The government hoped for a peaceful
settlement Of the dispute, on which ac-
count it reached the decision not to resort
to force. However, the soldiers and
workmen's committee was decreed an IL

steps were taken to defeat any attempt at
a revolt.
Text Of Proclamation.
The text of the proclamation of the
military revolutionary committee reads:
ITO the army committees of the

the garrison and proletariat OF Petro-

upon the revolutionary soldiers to watch
closely the conduct of the men in COM

complished revolution Immediately and
openly must be arrested at once as enc

THE Petrograd council of workmen's
and soldiers delegates considers this to
be the program of the new authority:
First. the offer Of an immediate demo.

Second. the Immediate handing over

Third. the transmission Of all au-

Fourth. the honest convocation of a

THE national revolutionary army
must not permit uncertain military de-

where this fails they must oppose any
such action on the part of these de-

Remove Signs from Trees.

The State Highway Department Is
receiving many inquiries in regard ia
the law which requires that advertis.
ing signs shall he removed from oil
fruit, shade and ornamental trees
along the public highways. In order
that there may be no misundcrstand-
ing Of this provision Of the law, sec
tion o., page 464, Session Laws 1917,
Is here quoted In full:
"l'he county highway engineer and
overseers shall protect nll fruit. shade
and ornamental trees along the sides
Of the public roads, and shall forth
with remove oil signs and advertise
ments whatsoever that may have
been nailed or fastened Ia any OF said
trees. And II shall be the duty OF
the county highway engineer, TO sec
that this provision Is enforced"
Many trees along our public. roadi
are damaged every year by having
nails driven into them to support I'D
vcrtising signs. The State Highway
Department suggests that signs be
placed along the public roads by road
cversecrs, giving information OF In
tercst and value to the traveller
These signs should warn against shary
curves and dangerous crossings, and
should give correct distances between
points. Signs Of this character should
be erected on metal or wooden stan
dards, and should be placed so they
will not obstruct the view.

What Have We Done.

WU0v huNC We DOVcs
During the four months in which
the United States has been at war
there have been exhibitions Of both
efficiency and incfficiency, but upon
the whole the showing is quite up to
what might be expected of a democ-
racy, wherein the privilege Of talk is
unrestricted and wherein the tremeu-
dous Importance Of the situation has
not been impressed by the shock Of
war. Roughly grouped these aie
among the principal achievements:
The flotation Of $4,000, 100000 lib
erty bonds for war purposes.
The registration Of approximately
100000 men for military service by
the selective draft method. and the
actual call to service by the army
lottery.
Increasing the regular army to
100000 men, the national guard TO
40 900 and the navy TO 10000 and
the marine corps to 10000.
| The seizure by the government Of
ships owned by the German govern
mcnt held in ports Of the United
States and its insular possessions,
and the internmcnt Of hundreds Of
German spies and sailors.
Organization Of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation to create an ado
quate merchant marine service to
cope with the submarine menace.
The imposition Of cmbargocs on
shipments to every country in the
world and the promulgation by the
president Of penalties for trading
with the enemy rs authorized by
lcongress.

SANDING THE PUBLIC STREETS


The mayor and the members Of the
city council are receiving much OF
compliment and commendation from
the public for the vigorous manner in
which they are carrying on the work
of sanding the streets. For FIVE weeks
the work has been going and results
have been achieved that will be ap-
parent thruout the winter and many
months thereafter. The undertaking
OF the enterprise on SO extensive a
scale has been made possible by the
motor truck purchased early in the
summer as a combined street sprink-
Ter and sand hauier. By means of IL
more than thirty cubic yards Of sand
is hauled day and spread upon the
surface OF the streets. Its coat. ex.
elusive of the investment in the truck,
is nominal and is worth many times
the outlay in the pleasure and salts
faction which improved roadways
give. To haul an equal amount Of
sand by WAGON and team would cost
forty dollars a day. or two hundred
and forty dollars n week. which would
be prohibitive in the present state OF
the city's finances.
Thus far Main street has been sand
ed from Third TO Ninth streets and
River street for a distance OF four or
i've blocks. II required ninety cubic
Yards of sand 10 the block on Main
street Not quite so much is demand
ed on River street. The truck hauis
ten loads day and makes the round
trip TO the loading place and return
every forty-fiye minutes during work
ing hours. The sand is obtained from
Sand creek around Soda paint and is
OF an excellent kind for street surfac-
ing. There is an unlimited quantity
of Il and there is no danger OF ex.
hausting the supply. II Ia screened
by machinery and hoisted by an ele-
vator to bins from which II Is loaded
by gravity into the truck.
Scrapers drawn by horses convey
the sand to pit from which IL is
hoisted in buckets by mechanical
process to the bins. or containers.
which let II into the bed OF the truck
As soon as the work on River street
is completed the intcrscctins strccts
from River street TO Greenwood ave-
nue. will be sanded. The work IN un.
