night in an address before the Flying

British navy had saved the worldin
Napoleon's time, when Nelson broke
the power that threatened established
ideals at Trafalgar, and in the recent
conflict.

Estimates made by the engineers
Of the North Dakota highway COM

ried on this state during the summer
and fall months between $3.50, 900
and $500, 900.
Work is now designed for about

average length of the jobs is about
is miles, the longest is sos miles,
and the shortest 8.6 miles. Small
contractors will be given a chance
with an opportunity to expand, and
aged for the larger roads. The plan
OF the commission is to keep. con-
tractors busy throughout the season.
The Improvements in general will
consist OF building graded earth
roads, involving cut and I'LL work,
and as much blade or grader work
as possible. According to first esti-
mates the actual construction work
will average about &1,100 per mile,
complete with culverts, bridges, sur

will Investigate a road west of Mi
