Representative French Greatly

Capital News Special Service)
Washington, Feb. 17.-Representative
Burton L. French, of Idaho, has been
developing much time to an effort to
obtain federal aid for a proposed high
way from Sites and Grangeville to Elk
City, and is confident that either the
forest service or the office of good
roads of the department of agricul-
ture would be favorable to the propo-
sition upon a fifty-fifty basis-that
is the government furnishing SO per
cent of the cost and the state, or
states and local organizations, the
other SO per cent. The Idaho legis-
lature recently memorialized congress.
to appropriate 100000 for this road.
Mr.. French is very doubtful that the
federal government will be more lib
eral than to pay half the cost of the
road
Il am heartily in favor of the ut
most liberality in this matter for
realize the Importance of the road"
Mr.. French said, but we cannot
overlook the fact that the west is in
the minority in congress, in both the
senate and house, and the east con-
siders that it has been unusually lib
eral in agreeing to a fifty-fifty basis
because there was no such basis
when extensive road work was COM
pleted In some or many OF the east
ern states.

Washington.-The army air service
has made substantial progress In the
work Of preparing national aerial
routes, the map already showing a
number Of travel lanes In 30 states.
The entire country will be covered as

for the successful operation Of an air
plane over the territory shown. Dis

It Is proposed to chart three trunk
routes from coast to coast, with n
twenty-four feeding or distrihJ
routes, which, 1t is stated,
bring every city and town Il

Berlin.-The state arsenal at Span

government, has shown monthly def
cts Of SS,750,OOO for the last few
months. Estimates for April, May
and June indicated a further total op-
Grating loss Of $15O00000. Attempts
to utilize the gigantic plant for peace
production are unsuccessful In Its
present condition and 1t viii have to
be dlsmantled and re-equipped.
The arsenal, which in peace time
employed 9,000 hands and In the last
few years engaged 10000 workerm
since the revolution has developed into
a hotbed OF radicalisrn. Communist
leaders openly engaged IN the intImi-
dation Of other workers. threatening
them with boycott and other forms Gk
terrorism.
It is stated also that the plant has
been grossly mismanaged. which grad
ually brought on a state Of passive re-
sistance and characterization among

Original Plan Changed.

1
Robert Mills, was to have as the main
feature of the monument large col
umned pantheon to be used as mu-
scum for war relics and statues Of
great men, and the obelisk was to
arise from its center and surmount
the whole.
The pantheon idea was abandoned
later when the monument came to be
built, and everyone feels now that It
is good thing 1t was so, because a
building Of any kind at its base would
only detract from its sublimity and
grandeur.
Washington himself selected the site
for the monument, but at that time
the intention was to erect an eQues-
trian statue, which congress had voted
for in 1888. Nothing was done until
1883, when Chief Justice John Mar
shall headed a movement called the
washington Monument society,"" to
solicit funds to build 1t. It was then
the architect. Robert Mills, designed
an obelisk surrounding a colonnade Of
Doric columns.
Some money was collected, but not
enough to build it as planned, so the
pantheon feature was abandoned and
work begun on the obelisk. The cor
ner stone, weighing twelve tons, was
laid July 4, 1848, in the presence OF
10000 people.
In 1885 the funds ran out and work
was stopped, and for twenty years the
partly constructed monument re-
manned an ugly stub. But the centen-
NAL exposition of 1876 brought re-
viyal Of patriotism and there was a
nationwide demand that the monu-
ment be finished, Congress took hold
of it, funds were asked for from every
state, as well as contributions OF stone
blocks with which to line the Interior.
In 1880 work on the monument was
resumed, but on altered plans. The
foundations were enlarged and
strengthened and the shaft increased
In height. In 1884 it was finished at
a total cost OF 81, 100000.

In the National Geographic Maya
zine three years ago William Howard
Taft wrote Of the Washington monus
ment: "Taken by itself, the Washing
ticn monument stands not only as one
of the most stupendous works Of man,
but also as one Of the most beautiful
Of all human creations. Indeed 1t is
at once so great and so simple that 1t
seems to be almost a work OF nature.
Dominating the entire District Of Co
lumbia, it has taken Its place with the
capitol and the White House as the
three foremost national structures.
with a new character for each new
hour, a different aspect for every
change of light and shade, the Wash
ington monument seems to link heaven
and earth in the darkness, to pierce
the sky In the light and to stand an
immoyable mountain peak as the mists
Of every storm go driving by. With a
height Of 555 feet, a base Of 50 feet
Yquare, and walls tapering from Is
feet at the base to 18 inches at the

from many famous organizations and
from a number of foreign countries;
with Its stately simplicity and the
high qualities Of manhood 1t honors,
It Is fitting that the aluminium tip that
