FEDERAL AID NOT TO
BE CONFINED TO BEST
ROADS, SAYS HOUSTON

There is no truth in the report that
federal highway aid, under the
Shackeford act, is to be confined to
only the most expensive road-building.
says State Engineer Jay w. Bliss,
secretary of the North Dakota high
wayscommission, created by the Eff
teenth luegislative assembly. AS
there is misunderstanding quite pre-
valent in this state, it would be much
appreciated if you would quote from
recent statement of. Secretary of Ag-
riculture Houston" said Mr.. Bliss.
"The secretary of agriculture gave
out statement today to refute the
report that states desiring to obtain
money for roads under the federal
aid act, which appropriates $So,OOO,-
900, must build only expensive roads,
and to make it clear that no particu-
lar kind of material will be required
or favored by the department of agri-
culture to the detriment of other
materials"
There is not the slightest truth in
such a report" said Secretary Hous-
ton. "This department, which is
the federal aid road act, has placed
absolutely no restrictions, either d.
rect or implied, upon the kinds OF
highways to be constructed. States
may submit for approval any kind OF
road, even an earth road, and approx
al will be given if the construction
be substantiated in character, suit
able for traffic needs, and meets the
terms of the federal act. To give
state legislators and highway officials
the impression that this department
favors only costly types of road or
discrimination in favor of any par
ticular material results not only in
spreading misinformation, but in plac'
ing barriers in the way of states
which wish to avail themselves OF
federal aid in road construction
North Dakota's federal aid, with the
amount which the state has appro-
priated to meet the requirements OF
the federal act, will make available
for the state highway commissions
work this year between $4,000 and
5000. 900.

VIENNA, Feb. 10.-Reports in gen eral circulation here are to the eff feet that the AustTo-Hungarian gov ernment is negotiating with United States Ambassador Penfield relative to move to prevent the severance of diplomatic relations between Aus tria and the United States. The severance is feared on account of the close alliance between Germany and Austria and it is therefore not expected that the negotiations will succeed, because Germany is ayersc to giving any pledge regarding the safety of Americans travelling on the high seas.
 The negotiations relate chiefly to the travelling of Americans on the Mediterranean unhindeTed by the fear that the ship on which they are travelling might be sunk at any mo ment by an Austrian or German un derseas boat. It is expected, how ever, that Germany will object t. such a course on the part of Austria. on the ground that it would weaken the Mediterranean blockade. and Aus tria is unable to give the guarantee without the sanction of Germany.

Back to the days of the golden past; back to the days when, to quote Service, There was no law oi God or man north of ffy-Jhrce; back to the days of 9S when gold was more plentiful in Alaska and the Yukon than most of the necessl- ties Of life. That's where the people went last night who were in attend- ance at the charity show. Those days were all there, including the dance hall and the dance hall girls, the parts of the latter being played by all the women who were there; including, also, the gambling tables, faro. roulette and craps, although all of the gambling was done with "charity money" which, once lost could never be regained. The only thing lacking was the miner fresh from the creeks" He was there, all right but in the garb of today; not in that which prompted those poet ically inclined to wax descriptive of the North that was; the North that never will be again except on such occasions as last night or in the minds of those sourdoughs who were actual witnesses to the transactions of those days or who participated in them,
 The present day dance hall of the Outside, the cabaret was also there making the show a combination ol the old and the new Instead of be- ing greeted altogether by pretty girls in low-necked dresses and with snowy shoulders exposed as in the dance hall, those who attended the cabaret performance were treated to an entertainment such as is provided on the Outside. The pretty girls were there just the same, singing solos or taking the parts of chorus girI:, in some instances being ac- companied by young men, perform ing classy dances and other stunts.
 The fact of the matter is that all who took part in the entertainment last night, as well as those who lent their presence there and spent their good money for charity, contributed to the success of what will go down in history as one of Fairbanks great est successes, both socially and if nancially speaking. To attempt to describe it entirely would be use less, for it was practically beyond description from start to finish. It undoubtedly has set a precedent winch will be hard for any future af- fairs of the kind to outdo.
 The dancing floor at the Audi torium, of course, served as the dance hall" The greater part of the program, interspersed with danc- es. was rendered there, or rather, on the stage Between the num- bers or after the dances "Hamgrease Jimmy" ('Slim" Packard in turned up trousers, with coat off and gaudy sleeveholders) would shout, "...up to the bar" leaving out the first word. of that famous shout of the notorious. or, as one might say, fla nous, dance hall floor manager of the days of '98 And then the crowd would flock to the bar, where, five or six deep, they would make an ef- fort to secure a drink, which would be a pony glass third full of ginger ale or some other mild con
