ROAD BUILDING
BEING DELAYED
Inability to Get Transporta-

and Material is Blamed.
BY w. S. MANN.

WASHINGTON. Sept. Inability
to get sufficient railroad transporta-
ton and unprecedented prices de-
manded for labor and material are
delaying the largest bodybuilding
program ever attempted in this or
any other country. but even in the
face Of these obstacles the none
expended and the work accomplished
during 1890 will exceed all previous
figure.
There Is now available for road
building purposes $175,000, 600 in
federal money. and as this Is usual
IN spent at the rate of sixty per
cent. of state funds to forty per cent.
Of federal funds, it indicates a capt.
tai of 43T,500,0 0O. In addition there
Is money to- be expended in state
and county roads where federal aid
Is not solicited, so that the last esti-
mate OF the total available for high
way construction is $633,000,000
To spend this money wisely with
in the present calendar yea would
be impossible, and IL will be stretch
ed out over a period Of two years.
The immensely of the project can b.
shown by comparison with h build
ing of the Panama Canal, which call
ed for an expenditure of 1878, 10000
during a period of ten years.
Even before the war the scarcity
Of open top railroad cars and the
fact that those in service were in
such demand for hauling coal was a
handicap to big road construction
projects. This condition has been
aggravated by the coal strike which
last winter sent so many coal cars
from the east to the western states,
and still later by the railroad strike,

contractor can figure on a new job,
the supply of stone, gravel, sand. CO.
ment, etc, and how 1t can be moved

must be considered.
The bureau OF public roads. OF the
department of agriculture, reports
that the rail strike had another bear
ing on the highway situation in the
North Atlantic states. where motor
trucks were called on to carry the
goods that the railroads could not
move. This sent unusually heavy
loads over roads at the most mop
perfume time Of the year-the spring
time when alternate freeze and thaw,
in connection with rains. makes the
surface of roads especially vulner-
able. The result is that many Of the
roads around Philadelphia, Boston,
New York and other large cities now
need very extensive repairs.
Labor is another problem that Is
keeping the road builders awake at
night, and in this connection Samuel
Knopf of the Delaware state high
way department recently said:
Until the unorganized common
.laborer on road work realizes that he
is no longer on war work. and that
no war profits and war wages exist
in honest road building he will al
ways remain the same unreliable
workman. Not until he has spent
his war savings will he become more
efficient. Any increase in wages does
not seem to remedy the position.
During the past years increases to
common labor were given to help
rush the program, but the general
effects with regard to production re-
manned the same. Contractors TO

ments and other road building agen-
cies are finding it difficult to get.
Properly trained highway engineers
are not always available, and reports
admitted to P. st. j. Wilson, chief
engineer of the bureau of public
roads, show that fifteen states are
for experts to direct the
work of road construction. President
r. Hirst, of the American Asso-
of State Highway Officials,
has described "the very restricted
output of young engineers" as an
acute problem. He suggests that a
four year course is longer than is
necessary for the preparation of much

provide winter short courses in eng
ineering. .

thousands. of trained men at the
earliest possible date" he said re-
-Four or five years hence

When the first act providing for
federal aid in road building was pass
ed in 1915, it was stipulated that
such money should be expended only
on post roads, but this was amended
last year to include building of
roads that probably would be used
as post roads in the future. State
highway authorities select the roads
on which state and federal funds
will be Jointly expended, but the fed
eral bureau must approve this choice
any money is taken from the
national treasury for the work.

TRENTON, Sept. 1-Indications
are that when the Legislature meets

the women participating. 1t is quite
likely also that some legislation rel
alive to the housing problem will be

Frank II. Parkr and Howard S. Reed, who represented the association at the recent hearing before the secretary of interior held in Washington Follow ing their reports, the proposal of the formation of the irrigation district was given consideration and the petitions, already prepared and addressed to the board of supervisors requesting the formation, were readily signed.
 Petition To Supervisors
 The petition calling for the irrigation district reads as follows:
 ITO the Board of Supervisors, Mari .copa County, Arizona.
 The undersigned petitioners herein respectfully represent that it is their purpose to organize an irrigation dis trict under the provisions of chapter s, of Laws of Arizona, second special session. 1915, and acts amendatory thereof, to be named the Auxiliary Eastern Canal IrrigarIon District.
 Tt is proposed to utilize flood wa ters of the Salt and Verde rivers and such other waters flowing therein as may be available for diversion into a canal and distributive system to be built so as to permit of the irrigation of all the land within said district through and by means of works to be built and operated by said district un- der contract with the Salt River Val ley Water Users association and to supplement such supply with water that shall be pumped from under ground sources within said district.
 We further designate as the com mittee of the petitioners herein to file this petition, the following: Frank H. Parker. c. R. Gordon and w. R. Stewart"
 Great Thing for the Valley
 MT Stewart, who has been one of the prime movers in the organization of the Auxiliary Association, declared yesterday that the action taken by the land owners ''was one of the great est things that has ever been done for Mesa and Salt River Valley With our contract with the Water Users al ready settled" he continued, it is a certainty that the utilization of the flood waters will be made, and wheat and other early maturing crops can be raised within the new district with the greatest degree of success.
 Under the present plans of the Aux Hilary association the Eastern canal will be enlarged for a few miles at it's mouth and the flood waters then elevated by means of @ pump into the proposed new canal, which will about parallel the Eastern canal a few miles east, and continue on east of Gilbert and Chandler and south of the latter town.

 Prices Better Than In 1919
 Shipments last season totaled 1882 carloads. This years shipments swilI aggregate about 1.500 carloads Better prices will be secured this year, ae- cording to adVices reaching the PhOe nix chamber of commerce where MT. Miller will make his headquarters dur ing the season.
 As an indication of opening prices of the cantaloupe market in the Salt River Valley is the report from Brawley, dated June 30. Il reads: Carloads f. 0. b. cash track. standards crates, $2250$2.50, >tly $2.25; ponys, most ly s2.0O: flats S1.O0@110; demand good; market firm" On the same day cantaloupcs were selling in eastern markets at S3.50 to S40O for solid stock in standard crates and as low as $2.00 for soft stock.
 Imperial Valley is cleaning up on it's crop, and this, as reported, will tend to advance prices for Salt River Val | Icy cantaloupes. Salt River Valley | however, will not be alone in western shipments for TurlocIl district of Cali | fOrnia is about ready to ship. Then
 there still will be shipments from Im- perial Valley for some days. A gen.
 oral survey of crop and market con
 ditions leads to the conclusion that the
 most favorable conditions prevail for 1 cantaloupes from Arizona
 No Car Shortage
 There will be no car shortage which
 so greatly handicapped the Imperial | Valley, the chamber of commerce an
 nounced after conferring with the rail-
 roads. The Santa Fe has 450 cars se- cured for the opening of the seasoT and more coming as needed. Some o1 1 these 450 cars are on hand and others are rolling toward the valley. The
 Santa Fc is figuring on 1,200 carloads
 and the Arizona Eastern on 300 car 1 loads. The Arizona Eastern will have l enough cars on hand at all times dur ing the shipping season.
 A most important factor in point o I transportation is that this is a norma
 year, which means that the shipping
 season will be extended over a period of from 40 to 50 days. The crop last year came aH at once and was hurled upon the m arket in a desperate effort

With the shipment last night from Mesa of the first carload of canta- loupcs, the 1920 cantaloupe shipping season was actually opened.
