To Build BRIDGES Over santee.


The state highway commission will
recommend to the United States de-
partment Of agriculture that two steel
bridges be constructed over the San
tee River on PROPOSED state highways
to be constructed from Charleston
into the interior portions of the
state. One OF the proposed bridge
sites is at Lanneau's Crossing, which
Is about 20 miles east Of Lanes, and
the other Pinckney's Crossing, which
is in the neighbochood of 70 miles
east of Orangeburg and St. Matthews.
The estimated cost Of the former is
s173,O0O and that Of the latter s154,-
740 The federal government will pro
vide one-half of this necessary amount,
contingent upon the other half being
provided by residents OF the counties
directly benefited.
Specifications call for steel structure
across the rfvr portions three feet
above tho water, erecsoted pile tres
ties acress the necessary waterways
in swan pa and earth embanknents
about four feet high, which Is above
the average high water level.
To Serve Many.
The highway over Lanneau's Ferry
will open 1T much needed highway
from Charleston up through George
town county, providing an excellent
outlet from Marion, Horny and ada.
cent territory into Charleston
The route into Orangeburg opens up
another territory, through which a
large volume of traffic will pass TO-
ward the coast from Orangeburg,
Clarendon, Calhoun and adjacent ter
ritory. The road will also provide an
immediate connecting link with the
southwestern portions of the State
The resolution of APPROVAL reads:
Whereas, the county officials Of the
counties adjacent to the Santee River
requested this department to have sur
veys made Of several proposed cross
ings of the said Santee River, surveys
have been made at Pinckney's Land

Therefore, be 1t resolved, That the

Pinekney's Landing, and the other at
Lanneau's Ferry, based on estimate
No. 8, for each Of these proposed
crossings, and will recommend their
approval to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, provided, the
counties interested can finance their
proportionate part Of the cost.

NlLESOFH HIGHWAY
Report BY State Engineer
Shows 80 Jobs Are Be
ing Cared For

| Bismarck, n. D., Dec. 12.-The
state highway department has COM
pleted or under way 461 miles of
| federal aid highway which will rep
resent an investment Of $699, 098. 06
! In better roads. This total includes
SO projects, in Cass, Foster, Will
liams, Richland. Trail, Eddy, Suits
man, Grand Forks. Pierce, Cavalier
Barnes, stutsman. Stark, Sargent,
Towner, LaMoure, Ward, Benson,
Ransom, Steele and Divide counties.
The longest single project is one
OF Bib miles in Sargent county, ex-
tending north and west from For
| man. This project will cost $54,-
384.0S, which is less than 1854 miles
of road in Stutsman will cost, the
latter estimate being $56,749.64. A
majority Of the projects will be Of
simple earth road construction, but
gravel will be used in a 15-mile
project in Foster county; on the
Black Trail through Eddy county;
from Valley City a distance Of 29.5
miles through Barnes county; in
Grand Forks county, in Ward and in
LaMoure. Earth and sand clay con-
struction will be used in five-mile
project in Pierce county.
Roads Approved. i
In addition plans are under way,
surveys made, projects approved
and applications submitted to the
state highway commission for 1884
miles of road in Hettinger, Grand
Forks, Bottineau, Mcintosh, EN-
mons, Logan, Grant, Barnes, Penn
bina, Renville, Golden Valley and
Mercer county, representing an esti-
mated expenditure Of $396.045.35 and
bringing the total which will be in
vested in highways now definitely
under consideration to $1,095, 143.H,
which is more than has been ex-
pended in any other three years.
Earth and scoria will be combined
for the first time in a state high
way commission road project in 1876
miles extending south and west from
Stanton in Mercer county. This will
be a comparatively expensive piece
of road, the estimated cost being
$4,000. Barnes county is being sur
veyed for sos miles of earth road
on the Green Trail which will cost
S63,S22, and plans are under way for
% miles Of earth road in Grand
Forks county, connecting Northwood
and Thompson, which will cost $685.

Auto Brings Change.
This showing is the more marvel
lous when it is considered that
North Dakota's' state highway de-

and that four years ago it was al
most impossible to secure any high
way legislation. The automobile, of
which every farmer has at least one,
has wrought the miracle, officials

amendment providing for the initia-
ton of laws.
This wording leaves no room for
nisconstruction. had always
thought that the wording of the
amendment providing for amending
the constitution by initiative petit
ton left no room for misconstruc-
ton. The plain question is, did the
legislature seek to bring about the
same result by these two separate
and distinct workings? I am con-
fident that It did not. / do not be-
lieye our lawmakers wished to place
the constitution in a position where
any small group OF men, should they
constitute a majority OF all the cleo

proved by the people at the same

adopted by a majority OF the votes

be that the legislature would have
used this language In this amend
