Fact state must select connected
road system not exceeding per cent
Of it's road mileage for improvement
with federal aid. This system will be
divided into two classes, one of which
will be known as interstate highways
and the other as inter-county high
ways. The Interstate highways must
not exceed three-sevenths of the sys
tenn selected; on them not more than
60 per cent of the states allotment
can be spent without the joint ap-
proval Of the secretary Of agriculture
and the state highway department.
The inter-county highways, which
consist OF the remainder of the sys-
TEN selected, will receive the remain
der of the states allotment
Except in states where more than
S per cent of the area is unappropri-
ated public land, the amount of fed
'eral aid received on any project must
not exceed so per cent of the estimat-
ed cost. In states where more than
5 per cent of the area is unapprOpri-
ated public land the So per cent al
lotment is increased by an amount
equal to one-half the percentage Of
pnappropriated public land in the
state. Before any funds can be paid
to a state, the state must appropriate
money, under the direct control Of the
state highway department, to match
the federal allotment, and for the
maintenance of federal aid highways
What the new appropriation will
mean to the country can be judged
by the use Nto which the $275 ,O0(
previously appropriated has been put
according to officials of the Unitet
States Department Of Agriculture
Practically S200,O00,00O Of that money
has been put to work in projects
which are either entirely completed OF
now under construction. To mattel
this amount the states have appropri
eted $265, 900 900.

OF the appropriation Of l5,00O,0OO
for the improvement of national for
est roads, $5,000,00O was made avail
able for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1922, and $lO,OO0,000 for the fol-
lowing fiscal year
The federal high way act in a gen
eral way resembles the federal aid
act of 1916, but contains several new
features. Administration of the act
by the secretary Of agriculture, and
under him the bureau Of public roads,
remains unchanged.
ApportiOnment of the fund to the
states is almost the same as in the
previous act, the fund being divided
into three parts, one'part apportioned
according to population, one according
to area and the third according to
mileage Of rural and star mail routes.
A new feature is the stipulation that
no state shall receive less than one
half of one per cent of the total fund
which amounts to 1865 1925. This stip-
ulation will increase the amount re-
ceived by four of the smaller states,
Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Considerable Change.
Considerable change, however, is
made by the act in the manner in

PRISONER ADJUDGED
INSANE BY BOARD

Joe Brown, who was arrested near
Golconda by Constable Ritts of that
place on March 20, and lodged in the
county Jail here, was today given a
hearing in the county clerks office be-
fore Judge Callahan, with Sheriff
Brady and Deputy W. G. Ducker as
witnesses. Drs. Giroux and Swezy
were physicians in the case. Brown
was found to be insane and a menace
TO the community at large, and 1t was
ordered that he be placed in the asy-
lum at Reno. 1t is expected that an
attendant from that institution will
arrive here tomorrow and take the
man in charge.
Brown was first suspected of being
demented when he tore block signal
wires from the Southern Pacific
tracks near Golconda. At no time
has he appeared to be violent, nor has
he at any time signified desire to in
jure those who had him in custody.
Each time the Jail door was opened
he would come forth from his cell,
with his hat and coat. ready to go. but
at word from the sheriff or deputy
he would return.
With the prisoners, however, the
matter was different. He seemed to
take it upon himself to assist the
sheriff in handling prisoners and he
had them well trained, upon several
occasions making II so warm for them
they requested to be locked in their
cells in fear OF him. He accom-
plished this by hard looks and sharp
words. Four Indians were arrested
several days ago for drunkenness.
When they we're ready to be put be
hind bars, one of them started to get
tough with Deputy Ducker. About
that time Brown came along in the
jail corridor, took hold of the Indians
shoulders and said In there!" The
Indian went, and with the other three
huddled in one cell. The affair be-
came comical.
On another occasion Brown dumped
a bucket of water into cell in which
other prisoners stored personal eff
fects, such as tobacco. The prisoners
went to see what was the matter
Brown explained he had put out the
light" in the cell. When asked what
light he answered THAT light" There
was no light in the cell.
Browns favorite pastime Is unfold
ing newspapers. carefully spreading
them over the floor and Immediately
picking them up again.
