STATE ROAD BILL DEFEATED
Resolution to Change Law so Counties
Could Get Aid Voted Down
by House.

Topeka.-The state will not go into
the road making business itself for at
least four years. The house, after
two hours debate, defeated the reso-
luton to change the constitution so
that the state could engage in road
construction, by a vote of 2 to TO-
Advocates of state aid had worked
hard for the resolution, hoping that
the question would be submitted to
the people at the next election.
While the house was fighting over
the state aid question the senate was
fixing up the good roads bill, passed
earlier in the week by the house. This
bill tells how roads shall be built in
case the various counties want to
build roads. 1t provides for a state
commission to supervise road work
The senate made no material changes
except TO eliminate that secti3n which
gives the state commission power to
levy taxes in county for the upkeep
of a federal aid road in case the
county commissioners refuse to do so.
However, a provision was inserted
which practically compels county COM
missioners to make such levy.
If the house passes the senate bill
providing a way for the construction
of hard surfaced roads, the state will
have plenty of legal machinery for
building roads, even though it cannot
issue state bonds or levy state taxes
TO pay for the work The counties,
townships and road districts can build
roads and receive federal aid, too.

WASHINGTON Oct. 2.-Shaken, but
still powerful, is the estimate Of Ger
many's defensive strength on the west
ern front, aFen in this weeks official
communique, issued by the war de-
partment.
The superiority of the British over
their enemies, the communicate says.
has conclusively been proved by the
| last weeks fighting, while it has de-
/ monstrated that the stamina of the
Germans is deteriorating.
OF the activities of the American
force in Europe the communique says
absolutely nothing Of the forces at
home it reports mobilization of the
national guard and the national army
proceeding satisfactorily.
| The analysis of the situation on the
west front, which the communique
says remains the principal battle front
OF the war follows
THE battle of Menin road, Cypress
SALIENT which promises to be one of
the great battles of the war, is follow
| ing it's normal course. Last week we
recorded the gains of the British in
this sector This week we must note
the desperate attempts made by the
Germans to retake the lost psitrons.
Beginning Sunday last, the constant
| " increasing violence of the counter
attacks reached a elimination on tht
9th ult., when seven powerful on
slaughts by the picked storm battal-
ions of the enemy endeavored vain
" to regain the lost detectives. The
village of Zonnebeke, the center of the
conflict, is now firmly held by the Brit
ish.
ct is evident that the efforts of the
enemy in this sector are not actuated
merely by the desire to regain lost
terrain of little more than tactical
value, nor must their persistent attacks
be considered merely the normal re-
action of modern field engagement,
in which counter attacks invariably
follows upon attack; but rather it Is
to be noted that the enemy realizes
fully the immense strategic import
ance of the British thrust along the
Menin road
This new British advance in the
Ppres salient now definitely threatens
the enemy's line Of communications
to the Belgian coast. The Ostend-
j Lille railway, which in large measure
feeds the German naval bases at Ost-
end and Zeebrugge, the latter the home
port of the German high seas sub
marine flotillas, now come within the
range of the fire of the British guns"

Hon. Frank W. Mondell, of
Wyoming, took the opportunity
recently afforded by discussion
of present day mail routes in the
West to call the attention of the
House to the pony express of the
early days, and the fact that one
of the pioneers of that service.
Col. Cody, had just passed away.
Mr.. Mondell paid a glowing tribute
to Buffalo Bill's" life and char
acter, mentioning the debt which
the West owed that PIONEER for
the part he played in the upbuild-
ing of that section of the country.

stuff they make cooking utensils
out Of" aluminium has many and
varied commercial uses. The
fine aluminium alloy, known as
Ignite, is used extensively in au-
tomobile motors and for many
other parts, where, through re-
duction in weight, it effects an
emmense saving in gasoline, tires
and the general pounding-to-
pieces of the car previously re-
sultiing from heavy castiron con-
struction. 9ny. ..| '.
The use Of this construction in
automobiles, one automobile en-
gineer has said, makes it possible
to take 1000 pounds weight off
a car and still give the car an
equal amount strength and even
more power. Thus a a, 000-pound
car is reduced to 5000 pounds
Experiments are now being con-
Quoted to ascertain the exact saw
ing of tires and gasoline. The
substitution of Ignite pistons
alone promises to revolut onizee
an important feature of the au-
tomobile industry. Small as the
piston in the motor may be, it
makes 5000 crank-shaft revolu-
tons minutes, 900 starts and
5000 stops, and the substitution
of this light, strong metal has in
creased the speed greatly and
lessened the shock and wear on
motors.
1t is said that, owing to the adj
vance made by American manu-
facturers in aluminium construc-
ton, Secretary Daniels has de-
cided not to undertake the con-
struction of the Zeppelin in the
Washington navy yard, as first
contemplated, but will let the
contract to private organizations.

remained for an American, Chas.

CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEART.

The French, French-Canadian and
Belgian Catholics were among the
very earliest of the pioneers, who set
tied in Faribault and vicinity. They
were deeply imbued with that relig-
ious missionary zeal and attachment
to their faith which has ever char
acterized them. At first they belonged
to the Immaculate Conception parish,
and contributed literally to the cree
ton of the first church built by that
parish. This is especially true OF
Alexander Faribault. But the rapid
increase of the French and Belgian
membership soon necessitated a
church where they could receive in,
structions in their mother tongues,
and they separated from the mother
parish. The first separate services
we're held in April, 1877, by Rev. FIR,
