those of Wisconsin are worth $50 so

cause they are not Of as good quail

other words they sell their feed for
about three-fiflhs the price obtained
by the Wisconsin farmers. Or if the
cattle, other than milk cows, OF
North Carolina. are worth SIT a

$37 so. then the farmers of North
Carolina have sold their feed for
feed for about 45c instead of $1.OO
which was received by the Iowa
farmer. We are not poor in the
number of animals we have in the

CAUSE Of DIM LIGHTS
TRACED TO BATTERY
An Expert Autoist Tells Why Many
Owners Of Cars Are Fault
Finders.

During the short-day period conf
plants to garage men and battery ex-
perts are frequent concerning the bat
terry, though in nine times out Of ten
the motorist with the kick does not
know that it is the battery. He will
talk about the lights failing every once
in a while, or the horn refusing to honk
on demand. But In the majority OF
cases it is the battery which is at fault
ut is more difficult to keep the bat
terry charged at this time of the year
than it is in summer according to an
expert. The reason he gives for the
trouble is that the sun sets earlier
and, just as our electric light and gas
bills mount at home, because we ligh,

ALASKA ROAD BOARD
REPLIES TO CRITICS
Report on Work Shows 92O Miles of
Highway Built Up to
July 1, 1916.

The board of road commissioners
for Alaska has been building roads in
that territory since 1905. Up to July 1,
1916, it built 920 miles Of wagon roads,
629 miles of winter sled roads and 2,210
miles of trails. OF late there has been
some criticism of this bodybuilding.
indicated as follows in the last annual
report of the board:
Alaska abounds in mineral wealth,
fish and road commission critics." One
cause of the criticism is the poor con-
explained in the report in detail. None
of the roads built by the board was
constructed for automobile traffic and
the board does not encourage the use
of automobiles on them, but there
were, nevertheless. over ESQ trucks and
passenger cars in use at the close of
the last fiscal year and a regular motor
mail and passenger service was MAIN
tanned between Valdez and Fairbanks
during the summer.
Much damage has been done to the
roads by the use Of heavy, narrow tired
trucks, the board says: recently graded
roads, which would be satisfactory for
light traffic, are plowed up by trucks
before surfacing is completed and ex-
pensive repairs are thus necessary be-
fore the road construction is finished
and maintenance begins.
These traffic conditions make the
roadbuilders' work difficult enough in
themselves, but in addition there are
the troubles of construction where the
local conditions are far from compar-
able with those of the states For
example, last summer 1t became neces-
sary to build d road five miles long
along hillside. and at one point the
operations of a hydraulic mining com.
| pany showed that the material under
| lying the location consisted of six feet
| of gravel on the bed rock, forty feet
of clear ice on the gravel. and two fee,
of moss and tundra on top. The only
| practicable construction for this locality
was to cover the roadbed with willow
corduroy and surface the corduroy with
gravel

Important Topics.

At the national convention a number
of important matters will be determin-
ed. Plans are to be discussed regard
ing the perfection of extensions of the
highway to Washington, D. c.. to New
York city and to Boston and New Eng
land. Already the highway has ter
minus at Philadelphia. The western
extension also will be considered and
reports received as to route from Salt
Lake City west to the Pacific coast
Four routes now are under considera-
ton: The Overland trail. the Lincoln
highway, the Midland trail and the
Arrowhead trail.
The marking of the Pixies Peak
ocean-to- ocean highway, with enamel
ed steel markers and red white
pole bands, will be an important topic
before the national meeting. Although
poles have been marked with the bands
from Indianapolis to Salt Lake City. the
markers have not been placed. Contract
for 1000 steel enameled markers has
been authorized. The publication OF
new maps and "photolog' book will
be decided upon at this meeting.
