FEDERAL ROAD AID MUST BE HANDLED
 BY H|GRWAY DEPT

Under the terms of the act giving federal aid to the construction of highways in various states the sec retary of agriculture is authorized only to cooperate with the several states through their respective highway de- Lartments in the improvement of rural post roads. All applications for fed eral aid, therefore, must necessarily be made through the bureau of public roads, department of agriculture, by the highway department of the state in which the proposed improvement is located, and the state highway depart ment is the proper channel through which local officials or others inter csted in securing aid for road should undertake to have the matter consid- cred.
 This statement has it's origin in the bureau of public roads, department of agriculture, through which the federal aid is handled, and explains the pro- cedure by which federal aid on any load project must be obtained.
 The initial selection of particular projects to be improved with federal aid in the several states is vested in the respective tsate highway depart II ents. After the highway department has selected a road for improvement it makes application to this department for the desired aid. The application is required to be in the form of a project statement which is transmitted through the district engineer of the bureau of public roads. If the secretary of agri culture approves the project statement. the state highway department is so rotified.
 The federal statute provides that the secretary of agriculture shall approve cnly such projects as may be substan- tial in character and the expenditure of funds hereby authorized shall be ap- piled only to such projects" Projects must also meet the post road require ments of the statute, which defines the term rural post roads" to mean "any public road a major portion of which is now used or can be used, or forms connecting link not to exceed ten miles in length, of any road or roads TOW or hereafter used for the trans portation of the United States mails, excluding every street and road in a place having a population. as shown by the latest available federal census, Of two thousand five hundred or more, except that portion of any such street er road along which the houses average more than two hundred feet apart"
 After a project statement is ap- proved, the state highway department must submit the necessary plans, speci-

Under the regulations, construction work may commence on a project after the district engineer of the bu reau of public roads has recommended approval of the plans, specifications and estimates. but payment for such work will not be made until or unless, the project agreement above referred to is finally entered into.

Drowned Boys
Body is Found

The body of Louis Gray, who was
drowned two miles above the Indian
dam Saturday afternoon, was found
Tuesday afternoon by the govern
ment gate-keeper, John Bond, quite
close to the dam. The body was
floating and was not greatly decom-
posed. Sheriff Simmons brought the
body In to the funeral parlors Of E.
T. Peck, coroner, to await the arrival
of the boys father from Calhoun,
Mo.
No further theory as to the cause
of his drowning has been advanced
than that young Gray was suddenly
seized with cramps in the cold water,
which sent him to the bottom. The
fact that he had some Of his clothes
fastened about his neck would not
lead to any satisfactory explanation,
as at that point where he attempted
to cross the willows were not jagged
or broken, and the water near them
was quite. shallow. The channel of
the river, however, was more than
fifteen feet deep where the main
current wound its way between the
banks. His body was found almost
two miles from the place where he
plunged in and disappeared.

which goes the privilege of using the
hall at all times for meetings, parties

the open-air pavilion during the
festival days also, to handle the
crowds. If the weather is good the
Saturday night dance this week may
be given out-of-doors. If it rains
then the Aloha is the place.
Plans tor a new building will now

operative spirit is being shown
among the returned service men,
and evidently they feel more or less
bound together by the experiences
they have gone thru.
