The unusual spectacle Of huge piles
of sacks of wheat and flour Is attract
ing numerous sightseers to the piers
apparently in the hopes of obtaining
some of the coveted grain which ma!

All of the flour that leaks from
broken or damaged sacks is carefully
gathered up. The quality of the flour
excites admiration from the onlookers

Enlarged Highway Construction
Adoption Of plans to expedite highway
construction under the enlarged pro-
gramme recently authorized by con-
grsss, are expected to result In more
miles of roads being constructed this
year than in any other in the nations
history, Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston announced Wednesday. II all
states take advantage Of the opportu-
nifty offered and make available for
road building sums equal to those ap-
portioned by the Federal road officials
a total Of sS43,S000,00 900 may be ex-
pended.
AS the result Of a conference on
March between the secretary ano
highway commissioners OF eastern ano
middle western states, the department
of agriculture, through the bureau OF
public roads, has taken up with tne
railroad administration the question
of freight rates, which are represented
as being one Of the principal obsta .
cIes in the way Of active resumption OF
highway building. Secretary Houston
also has taken up with Secretary OF
War Baker the question OF releasing
from the army highway engineers IN
order that their services may De utli-
lied.
"During the war;" Secretary Hous.
ton said. "it was necessary to curtain
road construction because or the dl1-
ficulties of securing transportation
materials and services Now that the
situation has changed the work Will De
resumed and vigorously prosecuted,
Notwithstanding conditions are sun
abnormal in some respects, especlaily
with reference to the prices OF mate.
riaIs. II Is not believed the people OF
the nation can wait for prices to re-
cede before beginning industrial oper-
atoms. Such hesitation will add 10
the difficulties instead OF nghtenins
them" ..o
Secretary Houston, discussing the
amount of money available, says IL is
40 great he doubts whether the states
in Ali cases will take up their snare Oh
the funds offered by the feoerai eo'-
ernment until 1920. c.,
discussing the act as amended, sec
retary Houston points out IL places
only three limitations on the types VI
roads to be constructed. These are.
That the roads shall be substantlal IN
character; that the amount contrlo-
nted from the Federal treasury In con,
nection with any road shall not exceed
500 600 per mile and that the roa9
r,,mst he a rural post road" as denneo
in the act as amended. Very rev I'M
nortant roads will be debarred 1roHi
