bridge. up to what is known as
the third dam" a short distance be
low the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road bridge.
The matter was brought TO the
attention of Council last night by
Councilman McManus, who said
that he wished to give notice
that every member Of Coun-
Gil might have ample time to
think the matter over and come TO
the meeting prepared 10 voice his
opinions. Mr.. McManus said that
negotiations for the purchase Of
these water rights from the Lea es-
tate had resulted in the offer to the
, c.y OF the rights for the sum OF
$4,000. The Board OF Water Com
missioners as we'll as other city Off
Gals will attend the conference.
The purchase Of these water rights
by the city has been agnated for a

THIS Is GOOD GOVERNMENT.

Now and then the United States
| Government does something down
right smart; something which bene-
fits you and every other individual
in the country. And when it does,
the fact should be heralded and set
forth in its details to encourage more
of the same.
Nobody will deny, for instance,
that every additional mile of good
roads will serve to dimish the i'm
mense costs of distribution and trans
portation-that mean gnawing ex-
pense which doubles the price of vir-
tually everything we buy.
Every dollar saved in the cost of
transportation jingles itself back in
to the pocket Of some one who will
be extremely glad to have 1t return
to him.
Consider, therefore, the Federal
State Aid Road Building legislation
put into effect by the Government
during the past few years.
Six years ago, for the first time
in more than century, the Federal
undertook to help the
States build good roads all aver the
The first State-aidactap-
rs million dollars to be

1919 further legislation adder 200
millions; and last year President
signed third measure add

Up to last November, 200 millions
If hte total $50 millions had been
llloted for road building In all the
states. The States had matched this
mount with s265,b29, 900.
The roads that the nation Will gain
rom this money total $4,000 miles,

arrangement In order that endless con-
tentiOns and Misunderstanding be

understanding Is that one shall work

Spitzbergen the longest day is sh

In the United States the duration Of
the longest day depends upon the
locality, but that Of Kansas City, Z
little less than Is hours, is about an
average longest day fer the whole
country.
Legally "a day" may be "A hours or

Bishop Rowe has firm belief
in thief uture of Alaska, which he
declares, even if no more gold is
discovered in the Territory is not to
be regarded merely as a warked-
out mining camp.
Alaska is all right with her fish
and fur and oil he said, THE
Territory presents broad field for
development; but her difficulty is
that she has been grossly neglected
in the matter of legislation which
will promote that development. The
new railroad which the Government
built will help along that develop
larly with regard to transportation.
Not long ago a North Dakota man
visited the Territory with COLOMBIA
ton project involving a number of
families from North Dakota who
planned to settel in the Territory.
When he found that it would cost
$4,000 a family to bring the colon
lists to Alaska, the project was aban-
doned. Any North Dakota family.
he said, that has $4,000 doesn't
have to emigrate to Alaska.
Bishop Rowe suggests that one o.
the best moves the United States
Shipping Board could make would
be to establish a government line of
steamers to Alaska
Such line," he said, offering
reasonable rate to colonists would |
greatly facilitate the development of |
the Territory"
