BRIDGE COST LIKELY
TO Be 100000

wat Ncia couHty chunoL
buy bridges any cheaper in proper
tion than the individual can pur-
chase shoes was contained in the
SCI of bids opened Sat tlrday ~ the
county commissioners upon the con-
struetion OF the first lot of 10
bridges. 1t was also apparen, that
while taxes have raised somewhat,
the increase is not proportionate to
inc increased cor u, the thinrs the
county must buy with its money.
The bids were unsatisfactory in
that practically all the bidders OFFER
ed proposals on only one or two
bridges and no contracts were
awarded Immediately. The commits
sioners naturally wish to favor To-
cal bidders II possible, but II is not
economical to deal with a dozen
concerns when possible to make one
deal cover the entire matter and an
effort Is being made to arrange 80
that both considerations may be
covered when the work is AWARDED
Definite action IN the first set Of
bridges will not he taken until Match
10, when the bdsi on the second lot
will be pened.
1t is manifest from the figures,
however, that the 81 bridges upon
which figures have been asked will
cost the county approximately $780,
600, even though the bids on the sec
ond lot should present a price as low
as the lowest composite price on the
first lot. II the complete tax Is col
lected the county will have to spend
on roads this year s335,S13.20, less
administration expenses. Thus ap-
proximately one third OF the road
fund is already spent 1t is inter-
esting to note further that arbi-
trarily fixing the road mileage OF
the county upon which this fund
must be spent at 5000 miles, though
II is considerably in excess Of that
amount, II no bridges were to be
built $50 per mile on the average
would be available for road building
and maintenance. In other words,
to build these bridges will require
the prorata OF 1000 miles OF road.
Then, too, there are across the Platte
In this county bridges which would
cost 100000 to build today. So
many of these bridges have about
outliyed their usefulness that a
spring food OF any size may count
ed upon to cost the county $500, 900
or more. II such flood does not
materialize there will be some mon
ey to spend for maintenance and for
new roads, but until midsummer or
later the county is not Warranted in
contracting ahead its road fund.
Contracts already let for State
roads &c and 46 will reduce the sum
available to about half the total
fund, leaving s25 mile II no emer-
gencies occur, contingency not to
be xpected.-Weld County News.
The above contains much infor-
nation that is not generally known.
II shows that the job OF the county
commissioner is no snap; 1t also
shows why we need never expect to
get good roads while we remain In
Weld county; the money is needed
to bridge the Platte river, and we
constantly face the danger OF hay-
ing flood come along and make
the county an expense Of 100000,
a tenth OF which would come out of
the proposed county still some are
araid that to get away from that
possibility would make high taxes.

NEW VELIE IS FIRST
 INTO THE YOSEMITE

Seeking some strenuous test to prove
 the mettle Of the new Velie Six, Model
 3f, recently announced, it was decided to road, from Los Angeles into the Yosem- l ite valley, in spite of thes now. ice and
 mud, which presented an obstacle be- liieved by the majority to be insurmount. able.
 Unless one has actually been over the mountains and trails into this wonderful valley, It will be ali. cult if at all possi- pie, to imagine the unbounded courage | one must have to attempt the trip by automobile before the roads are open, let aiSne the faith one must necessarily have Tn the car selected for such an effort The Velie dealers in Los Angeles and san Francisco met at Fresno. loaded their new "3f' with camping equipment and started out. resolute in their intention Of piloting the very first automobile into the valley in 1920. The start was made April :. For two weeks no report was received by friends anxiously awaiting
 the result. when suddenly wire flashed from the heart of the valley few days ago, reading as follows:
 'Velie car and crey arrived in To- semitic valley today-first into the valley this year over the Wawano road. Ter rible battle against elements. Required
 thirteen days to go forty-seven miles;
 through seas of bottomless mud on Chow
 chilla Mountain that no other car had
 been able to travel; through miles of
 snow-covered mountain roads, in many
 places drifted six feet deep. The Velie
 is a marvel, even to those of us who
 knew it we'll Notwithstanding all this
 terrific punishment, the car is in perfect
 shape and ready to start back without a
 single repair of any kind being neces-
 sary since we left Los Angeles. No mo- tor car was ever given a more gruelfng
 test than the Ve1e 34 received on this trip. Hurrah for it!'
 Friends of the Veie everywhere will be highly pleased at the record estab- lished ana all congratulate the California dealers on their courage and persistence which made the trip possible.

DR. OSLER THEORY
 KNOCKED IN HEAD
Mans Usefulness Does Not End At Any Particular
 Period

When Dr. Osler politely pointed out a few years ago that mans usefulness in this world ented at the age of 50, or t'n years less than the allotted three score and ten, the worthy doctors sug- eestion awakened a howl of protest. Every living specimen of the genus male who had passed his sixtieth mile post made it a point to write, wire or person. ally see the doctor and assure him that the proposed measure was certainly per soma non grata, or whatever the dipio- mats would call it. They assured him that Alexander Graham Bell Thomas Edison, John Burroughs and William Gladstone, managed to get away with three square meals a day and do a fairly good day s work or say twelve or fourteen hours. despite the handicap nature had imposed upon them after the fateful siXtieth year.
 If you want to start a real argument and turn a very peaceable crowd of men tof years and upwards) into bowling rabble of bolshevil1i, just tell them you think that the doctors theory was right Be sure to spring it on them from safe distance. for there is no telling what a youngster of 70 might do when ne gets his dander up.
 Just the other day, for instance, J. w. Urschel, who owns up to 75 and who halls from Toledo, O., where he knows everybody from John M. Willys down to the porter at the railroad station, re- turned from 1,790-mile journey to Flor ida and return in a Franklin sedan, which he drove himself the entire dis tance While most of the roads were in good shape, 300 miles were over what is known as tough doing MT. Urschel did not think the trip anyaing out of the ordinary and wouldn't own up to feeling the least bit tired when he got back. And you don't want to mention the Osler theory in very loud tones when the 75- year-old Toledoan is within hearing dis tance

TRANSFORMATION

Only Concentrated Efforts < of People Will Improve
 Conditions

For the past four years, extending right down to the present hour, the Amer ican people have had one object lesson after another on the vital necessity ol maintaining transportation facilities un- impaired says J. G. Bayerline, presi- dent of the Columbia Motors Company Detroit. ''That fact is plain to nearly everyone now. But what is not so plalh to the country at large is that our trans pcrtation methods and facilities must De increased They must also be made much more efficient or industry everywhere will be gagged and throttled with disas- u ous results.
 American industry must grow. It can not stand still or go back That is not the spirit of the American people. But industry cannot grow, nor can the pros perity of our people, egenarly, grow, unless transportation is allowed to grow
 Business men with whom l nave talked and who have the best interests Of this country at heart are agreed thai the settlement of strikes is only curing surface indications. Such cures, only temporary at the best, have no influence whatever on the fundamental disarrange- ment far beneath.
 'sHow are we going to get at the fun damental wrong to make transportation effective, efficient and capable or taxing care of industrial expansion? It takes more than 200, ,000, GOO tons of hogs, cattle, sheep corn, rye, wheat, barley, oats and ether food products yearly to keep this nation alive This means that two tons of food must be transported one or more times for every man, woman and chlld This one fact alone shows how vital transportation is to our very existence.
 ''The country needs more freight cars, more locomotives, improved dock and terminal facilities, deepened waterways, hard-surfaced roads. Only united, con certed effort will get them. Federal, state and municipal authorities acting i'll harmonious concert with banking and transportation representatives could go long way in solving this problem so vital to the future of this country,

Terrell had this sent out over the
country and the way the press dis
played it. He says the Judge presided
at a meeting for Sen. Borah to oppose
the 18th amendment. Then he speaks
as follows:
"He even sanctioned separate rec
reational centers for colored and
white troops, with those of the COL
ored immensely inferior, in spite OF
the fact that the blood of white and
black alike was flowing in one Grim
son stream in distant France. Only
agreeable colored people are allowed
to speak to the colored soldiers at the
center Of which he is head. None of
us radicals who are constantly telling
the colored man that he has done his
share of the dying and that it is high
time he was getting some of the liv.
ing, are ever invited to this center to
talk democracy"

ton much farther North than Wash.

colored man as Justice.

McADOO NOT THE MAN.

William G. McAdoo, former secre-
tary of the treasury in recent letter
in reply to notice that he had been
indorsed for the presidency by a trade
council replied with a lot of bunk that
America needs it's greatest man" and
that he doubted that he possessed the
qualifications necessary.
Well, Mr.. McAdoo certainly took an
accurate measure of himself. He is
not in any sense man fit to be presi-
dent of republic. He is a sectional
ist who believes wholly in the South
and has been one of the main props
to keep the South in the saddle in the
past seven years. He has no concep-
ton of a government, "of, by and for
the people,"
And we must not forget that he is
the man who originated segregation
in the treasury department at Wash
ington.

FORWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER"

''ONWAhO, CfRIS IAN SOLDIER"
THE APPEAL of May 1, contained
the following editorial:
The stage is all set and when the
quadrennial conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church meets in Des
Moines, Iowa, this month, it is likely
that that most Infamous action ever
attempted in the history of Christian
ity will become an accomplished fact.
The great event of the meeting is
to be the unifcation of the North and
South branches of the church, which
separated over the slavery question
many years before the Shareholders
rebellion
When the separation took place the
Northern branch took stand for
Christianity, humanity and freedom,
while the Southern branch stood for
slavery.
Now after 70 years they are to re.
unite by casting aside every vestige
of Christianity, and segregating the
colored members of the church.
1t is plan conceived in hell,
nurtured and sustained by the devil
and a reputation of the basic princi-
pies by the Christ which this great
church claims to follow.
And the disgusting part is, that
some colored men are partners in the
infamy.
We learn from the press dispatches
that the trick has been turned and
the Infamous scheme contaminated,
and the great M. E. church has torn
down the banner of Christ, who taught
the equality of races, and has substi-
tuted black flag Two negro"
bishops having been elected. That
would be all right if they were to be

and it never was intended that they
should be equal. Their powers are
limited and they are to preside over
negro" conferences only. The most

BUILDING A PLATFORM.

For many years the Republican
party has been Indifferent to it's faith
full allies, the colored people, and
even since the party is in power in
Congress, efforts of good Americans
to get the Republican party to elm
mate jimcrowism from legislation
have failed.
Now the platform makers are at
work in Washington. The press dis
patches tell of many tentative planks,
but there is the usual silence about
fundamental rights which are of more
interest to a group of about 100000
Americans than anything else.
There are colored members of the
advisory committee, but we have not
been able to learn that they have done
anything. Is it possible that they are
jimcrOW men who are willing to keep
their mouths shut when it is time to
speak?
THE APPEAL believes that there
should be short and strong plank,
with no reference to 1.-The colored
man" or "the Afro-American" or "the
Negro" but a demand for exact JUS
tice for all American citizens and
should include:
1. The enforcement Of the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
2. A national anti-lynching law.
3. Abrogation of racial segregation
in the civil service Of the United
States and in the Army and in the
Navy.
4. Abolition Of the jimcrow car in
interstate travel.
There must be no evasion. Let the
Republican party speak out plainly
for equality of citizenship. If the ad
visory body will not hear, the fight
must be carried to the Republican
national convention at Chicago and an
attempt made to get an equal citizen
ship plank in the platform or know
the reason why.
