NE VI ROAD BILL
MEASURE WILL
RELEASE SO, 009, 000.0O FOR
FEDERAL-AlD ROADS.

Washington, ID. C.-President Har
ding's signing of the highway bill re-
leases $75,000,000 for federal-aid
roads. Many states have been await
ing the appropriation of federal funds
before launching on their highway
programs. Immediate building IS
expected to start in many quarters
with consequent improvement IN en-
ployment conditions.
Senator Charles +. Townsend has
been leading the campaign for the
passage of this act which incorpor-
ates most of the principles for which
he has been lighting. Primarily 1t de-
mands that a portion of the govern
ment funds be set aside for upkeep,
so that the original movement Will
not be allowed to deteriorate. Pro
vision is also made for allocating a
percentage of the funds for interstate
highways. Special appropriations
are made for forest roads and trails.
The senator is chairman Of the Sen
ate Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads.
at has always been my position"
Senator Townsend says in comment
ing no the bill, that the principle Of
federal participation in the construc-
ton of certain roads should be &C
cepted as automatic. In my original
bill which provided for federal
highway commission to administer
federal appropriations and deal with
highway problems, | provided tina,
federal money should be expended
only upon interstate roads. With the
compilation Of the connecting back
bone system the federal money then
could have been used to construct
the ribs branching out through the
counties.
"The law recently enacted whiie
providing that federal money shall BE-
expended only upon a system consist
ing of z per cent Of the total ioao
mileage within the state, nevertheless
restricts three-sevenths of that sys

county roads. However, 60 per cent
Of the federal aid allotted to each
state must be expended upon the in

land for factory site, according to
the affidavit, and that they would do
a manufacturing business there.
Petition for appointment of re-
ceiver for the company was recently
filed with the circuit court by stock
holders recently. Frank T. Strayer
was appointed receiver for the corpo-
ration. At that time it was stated Of

ton.

a previous charge. Simpson is said

FORTUNES MADE in
OHIO COAL FIELDS
EQUAL TO KL0NDIkE
(By Associated Press.)

81 ATHENS, o., Jan. lit is far
cry from the Hooking Valley coal fields
to the gold mines of the Klondike and
the black fuel is considerably less val
liable than yellow-speckled nuggets.
but money was made almost as fast
in the mining districts around here
during and after the war, as in the
heyday of the famous gold fields.
Most of the easy" money was turn
ed into pockets by astute spectators
who sold coal without ever seeing 1t,
or getting the slightest trace of its
dirt on their hands. Some of the
spectators were big operators, mon
eyed men to start with, others were
clerks, draymen, and persons who wor.
ried about paying the rent and grocery
bill each month. e.s.-..
Drayman Makes Fortune.
1t is said that a certain young dray-
man heard lot of coal being sold
over long distance telephone some
months ago. He was in Jacksonville
hotel.
Incidentally, according to the hotel
loungers, literally millions of dollars
worth of coal had been sold over that
same phone, without the seller ever
seeing it. Selling coal seemed simple,
the young drayman figured. He de.
cided to forsake his dray, Operators
at that time were selling coal to the
highest bidder.
The drayman heard a certain ad
dress during the phone conversation
He learned where he could sell coal
so he got into communication with a
small mine owner, bought a car OF
coal, went to the telephone and sold
it, clearing $125, without ever seeing
the fuel.
The horse and dray went the next
day, and the young man is declared TIC
have cleaned up $4,000 in the next
four months. But he is back on the
seat of his dray again; the easy mon
ey went the way it came.
An instance is told of young man
whose father is popularity supposed tc
have made millions in coal here in the
last few years. trying the selling game
He is said to have made $4,000 a
year.
Factory Workers Rich.
Neighbors of man, working In
factory district here suddenly were
surprised to see a man take on al
tIo airs anu dppuI III LIN
new rich, according to the story tolC
in the neighborhood. Automobiles ant
such things were necessities for the
plodding householder.
Folks wondered where he got thu
money. The mystery was in little
coal mine up in the valley. He hat
put all his savings in it, and wa:
drawing down a dividend check eacf
week that would make movie actol
envious.
Today, however, scores of the little
mines are being closed. They fount
they couldn't sell coal at reasonable
profit below 81 a ton, so they quit
When spectators bid off their Goa
at IS and S. a ton and higher, it wa
easy sailing. but then the marke
broke.
Scores of stories of men who trans
formed a little pluck and selling
ability, with the aid of the "blacl
diamonds into thousands of dollar
of easy money are heard from mos
everyone in this mining district-bu
the day is over now.
