Mitchel's Friends

VIII Ask President Wilson To Give
Him JOb-Administration Silent On
New York.
d. n. S. Leased Wirel


WASHINGTON, Nov. Friends of
Mayor John P. Mitchell of New York
City, defeated yesterday for re-elec-
ton, today were working here to line
up in an effort to have the mayor
named to a federal office without de-
lay The office for which they were
working was that of one of the civ
ilian members of the new air craft
production board which will have com
plete charge of the air program of
the army and navy. This board was
created by congress and President
Wilson has before him a list of as
pirants for places on it.
1t was impossible to learn how the
administration stood on the propo-
sition. The White House was dumb
on the New York election result and
no cabinet members would say any
thing about it for publication. The
new air craft production board is to
be made up under the law of Major
General Squier chief signal corps;
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of naval
construction, two additional army and
two additional naval officers and
three civilians. The president, it is
stated, has selected one civilian, How
ard Coffin, for membership and two
places still are open to which he can
appoint Mr.. Mitchell is he so desires.

Junior Red Cross Notes
The Elementary schools OF Twin
Falls have most successfully COM
pletcd organization. They have all
raised more than their required quota
which is a sum equivalent to twenty
five cents fee from each child Bick-
ell school reports a surplus of $51.00.
Washington school is planning on buy
ing material with its surplus of $4,000
and making comfort kits and wash
cloths
The money has been raised entirely
through the efforts of the children and
the teachers. One teacher and her
students picked apples and used the
proceeds of the days work as their
share. Another class made fancy work
and turned in the proceeds from it's
sale to the fund Numerous candy
sales, popcorn sales, teas and lunch
cons have aided in the Relation of
the fund
Due to the two weeks vacation the
high school organization is not fully
completed
Miss Brittomart Wolfe will soon or
ganize the county schools into Junior

The Eighth b girls of Lincoln school
have organized a knitting club. At
present they are receiving instruc-
lions but are hoping to do Red Cross
work soon.

Cost per year on wagons --.--.$ 2Sl4.5o
Which would make the gravel cost
about 2A cents per yard on wagon.
Add to the above $1S,900.25 which
would make the total $21,731.25 for
1874 miles graveled per year of 40
days.
It will require thirty-five teams to
haul away the gravel according to
the above figures. This is for one
mile from pit, and a man with good
team can haul % yards in ten hours
one mile. This would make the haul
ing cost approximately IS cents per
yard, with the cost of loading added
would make it cost on the road one
mile from the pit 81 cents per yard.
The above figures are very liberal,
and there is no doubt that at least Is
per cent more can be done without
additional cost of loading; the haul
ing can only be hired by the yard and
no other way.

county is one of the richest counties

Berlin Reports Slavs Beaten at All
Other Points and Tell Of Fur
ther Progress.

London, Jan. S.-Although the leu
tonic allies have made further ad'
vances in Roumania, both in their op'
erations driving eastward from the
mountain region and northward from
Wallachia into Moldavia, the Russians
and Roumanians at various points are
giving battle and at several places
have met with success.
Between Fokshani and Fundeni the
Russians made a strong attack over
a front of about sixteen miles. They
gained ground near Obilechti. the Ger
man war Office says, but elsewhere
were repulsed with heavy casualties.
The Petrograd Official communities
ton, however, says the Russians re-
established their former position near
Kapatuno, northwest Of Fokshani,
made an advance in the vicinity OF
Raspitza lake, and in surprise at
tack captured trenches to the north
west in the Oituz valley.
Admission is made by Petrograd
that the Russians and Roumantans on
the upper reaches of the Suchltza
river retired before the advancing In
vaders, while Berlin says that between
the Oituz and Putna valleys the de-
tenders we're pushed back further to-
ward the plains.
On the northern end Of the Russian
line in Courland the Russians launch
ed strong attacks near Mitau, but
were repulsed.
In the other war theaters lombard
ments and small enterprises by recon
noitering and raiding parties have
been the only activities. Rome re-
ports an advance of about 500 yards
by the Italians near Hill 2OS in sur
prise attack In Macedonia the Brit
ish endeavored again to push forward
their line near Lake Dorian, but fall
ed, according to Berlin.

FLETCHER TO GO TO MEXICO
Arredondo Departs for Southern Coun-
try to Meet De Facto Chief, but
Declares He Will Return.

Washington, JaA. 4-When the
American members Of the Mexican
American joint commission had fin
ished consideration Of General Car
ranza's reply failing to comply with
the demand that the protocol provid'
Ing for withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexico be ratified, there
were indications that efforts to enter
into an agreement with the de facto
government through the commission
would be abandoned.
For the first time an official adm1s-
sion was made that Carranza had re-
fused to sign the protocol.
The commissioners said they ex-
pected to draft their response to Car
rama soon.
The failure of the commission to
give to Mexican.American relations
brighter aspect was Offset somewhat
by official intimations that Henry P.
Fletcher, confirmed as ambassador to
Mexico almost a year ago, is about
to start for his post.
Report General Pershing's expedi-
ton soon will be withdrawn, regard
less of Carranza's attitude, also gain
ed fresh impetus, and it is understood
the administration has had this move
under serious consideration.
Mr.. Fletcher conferred with Presi-
dent Wilson after the cabinet meet
ing.
Secretary Baker said no plans for
immediate withdrawal of the troops
had been considered.
Eliseo Arredondo Mexican ambassa-
dor designate, who announced that
he had been summoned to Mexico to
confer with General Carranza, said he
expected to return within few weeks
to resume his duties.
Ramon P. Denegri, former consul
general of the Carranza government
in San Francisco, will act as charge
of the Mexican embassy temporarily.

also we'll distributed It Is estimated
that over seventy-five per cent Of the
roads in Howard county can be
graveled, and the hauling distance not
to exceed three miles.
There are several items to be taken
into consideration before piece OF
road is ready to gravel:
First, the road should be we'll
rounded, then rolled solid.
Second, a furrow should be turned
out in each wheel track, this gives
thicker bed where the most wear
and loads are applied; it also keeps
the gravel from working outward.
Third, when Job of graveling is
started, it should be started next to
the pit and worked away from the
pit; in this way when a mile is gray
eled, it is packed down and a good
road is the result.
The interest Of $469.50 on an outfit
of the above kind will do but little
road dragging, and it must be done
over and over again. A good job of
crawling, according to the amount of
traffic, is good for from ten to twen-
ty years with little repair. Futher-
more, gravel does not get muddy; it
doesn't wash like common soil; it
never needs dragging; never gets very
dusty. If road is graveled it will
not be cut up along the sides, be-
cause in bad weather the graveled
center is always the best for travel.
I do not believe that Howard, or
any other county can afford to buy
an outfit of this kind and use it a
week or two then pull it into the
weeds along the right of way and let
it stand and rot, as has been done
with some road machinery that we
know of. I believe that a machine
of this kind should work every day
in the year that weather and other
conditions are fit for work. BY this
system a great deal less money will
be spent each year than is now be-
ing spent, and when we have mile
of road graveled we have road;
furthermore, Howard county has plen-
ty of gravel hills in the road without
buying pits. The hill one mile east
of Davis Corners has many thousands
of yards of gravel in it and many
other such places could be named.
Another very important idea is that
ninety-nine farmers out of every hun
dred will donate from one to three
days gravel hauling each year in their
own neighborhood. Have you ever
thought of this? know it.

$7S25.00


The above is the total first cost Of
an. outfit; prices, of course, are sub
ject to change without notice.
AS above stated, this shovel will
handle 21s yards per NJ, but of course,
it would be impossible to get wagons
in and out of the pit at such speed,
but it is very reasonable to figure III
yards, which is a load per M BY
loading on both sides of the shovel
considerable more can be done. With
a Caterpillar the above speed of III
Yards per M. can be maintained about
fifty to fifty-five minutes out of every
hour; the remaining five or ten min
utes being consumed in moving up.
This is where the Caterpillar saves
time, as common tractor can only
be worked from forty to forty-five
minutes per hour on account of be-
ing obliged to plank the pit, also re-
During two extra men for this work.
Taking 1h yards per M. for a base,
that being Is yards loaded every hour,
or $50 yards per ten hour day. Allow
ing for rainy weather, moving from
one pit to another, repairs, etc., it is
reasonable to suppose that the outfit
could work twenty days per month
and seven months per year, that
means 100000 yards of gravel loaded
per year, and 7S4 yards of gravel are
required to gravel one mile six feet
wide and eight inches thick.
Now, having the cost of the machin-
cry and knowing the number of yards
which can be handled seven months per
year. we will see what the gravel will
cost per yard on the road one mile

Gravel the Best Road Making Materials

Why don't e, a7el our country
roads and Ivy streets?
We ay: I don't know. I pre-
sumo you will say it costs too much.
That is where we have been mislead.
According to all available figures,
crawling can be done cheaper with
a steam shovel and run of dump
wagons than any other way.
A very small sized steam shovel
would be required and dump
wagons of ~ yards capacity. A e
steam shovel is large enough; this
shovel is capable Of making -four
cycles, or raising 21s yards of gravel
per NJ. 1t is a Caterpillar Tractor
and weighs in working order 1919
tons; propels itself eight to ten miles
per day and climbs grades up to eleven
per cent The Caterpillar is heavier
and costs more than a common tractor
but will travel better on the roads and
needs no planking while in operation
in the pit; this saves two pit men.
