HOPESFOR AR0AD
BUILDING PROGRAM
Senator ToWnsend's State
men Indicates Next Con-
gress viii Consider Plan.
OUTLINES THE SITUATION

81 hope before another Congress ex-
pires we shall have before us a general
scheme for building roads which will
favorably appeal to a majority of Con-
gress."
This statement by Senator Charles E.
Townsend of Michigan, the probable
next chairman Of the Senate committee
on post offices and post roads, makes
clear that the Sixty-sixth Congress will
give serious consideration to a conpre-
hensive plan which may result in the
adoption Of federal system and the
creation of federal commission.
In the course of his argument on the
amendment to the federal aid road act.
which carried with it an appropriation
of $500, 600 900, distributed among the
several states. and 5000, 900 for roads
in the federal forest reserves, the sena-
tor from Michigan thus sets forth the
situation:
For Continued Improvement.
Is the worst to curtaii or to attempt to
curtail. in any way the activities OF the
government in public improvements.
do believe that, inaSmuch as we have,
as Senator Jones from washington has
stated, q going machine, an orgahiZa-
tion for building roads, and inasmueh,
further, as it is conceded that the gen.
eral welfare demands that the govern
ment must encourage those enterprises
of public nature which offer legitimate
employment to labor and at the same
time supply a public service, it seems
wise to me to increase road building.
This class OF improvement was checked
by the war. and. now in this period of
reconstruction, the work should be re-
newed on a larger scale.
81 believed and still believe that we
ought to have a nationalized system of
roads. hope before another Congress
expires we shall have before us a gen.
eral scheme for building reads which
will favorably appeal to a majority of
Congress. But it is too late to enact
new legislation in this Congress. l
suggested a more comprehensive and
scientific plan to the committee.
but it could not be considered But
this appropriation is as wise an in
vestment as we can make now in these
disturbed conditions, however difficult
our financial situation may be. / hope
the various state highway commissions
will see to il that it is so expended that
lit will contribute to q national system,
which / am sure this country must adopt
sooner or later. Let the states build
the laterals, but let US have a system of
national highways extending through
every state, east and west, north and
south

"Gets IEto the Blood"

'-The thrilling sensation and keen
enjoyment of one automobile ride
8ets into the blood, with the result
that every man wants one. whatever
his vocation, color or creed. Women
and children are likewise infected
with the germ OF this desire. So every
body's question is throughout the
world. When can bury a carr and
when that happy day arrives, What
car shall buy?' Hence neither man
ufacturers of automobiles nor their
dealers ever spend time persuading
a prospect that he needs an automo-
bile. He admits it. and their only
effort. therefore, is to convince him
he needs their particular make of
car.
"This Is the only rub Can as much
be said about any other manufac-
tured product of the day, barring ar
ticles of food and clothing? If this is
q fact does it not seem that the po-
tentia1 customers for automobiles are
greater than for any other manufac-
tured product? If this is admitted
who can be pessimistic about the fu-
ture of the American automobile in
dustry, which in organization and
capacity far outranks similar indus
tries OF all the countries of the world.

DAWSON IS NOW DRY

The Dawson News of August 29 says The Yukon territory will go ''dry" to- morrow night, when the law enacted last spring by the Yukon legislature aboishing the saloon will go into ef- feet. Twenty licensed bars now exist in the Yukon. of which l4 are in Daw- son, all connected with hotels or oad- houses. Some of the proprietors an- nouuce they will close their houses, but there will be ample accommodations for the travelling public remaining.
 A government dspensary will be opened here and anoth her at Whitehorse under the control of Commissioner Me- kenzie, al which goods will be sold only by the bottle and during limited hours. The wholesale houses in Daw- son will turn over their stocks to the government store.
 Between now and February d plebis- cite will be held throughout the terri torry to determine the future of the liquor business. Three propoSirion, wlll be voted upon:
 Sale of liquor through government dispensaries, d bone-dry regime or re- turn to the license system which ex- pires tomorrow IL is believed that the real contest will be between the advocates of the bone-dry and dispen- slry schemes.
 The Yukon Was the only district in Canada where the sale of all kinds of liquor in bars was permitted during the whole course of he war.

 Many hydraulic plants of gold still are working on tbe high benches of Bonanza creek and the klondike river, and other hydraulics on numerous Hunker creek hills are busy.
