NORTH DAkoTA POLITICS

Politics I'M North Dakota are waxing
warm. The fight is on and everybody ov-
Eefl there knows about it. Governor Nestos
is presenting facts and figures that the OPP
position seems to be- unable to disputesso or
contradict successfully. The Grand Forks
Herald has the following to say editoria1ly
In the addresses. which he IS making IN
various towns thrpug hout The state Cover
nor Nsstos Isl expl aiming hat were the con-:

=these=eenditions. He presents facts and fig
ures which cannot be, spfsessful disp}Ht ed r
and the argument which he bases On those
facts are unanswerablee7. vssry ss;sssg fss3
The opposition is adopting the prade
course Of not attempting to answer these
arguments. It cannot explain away the
facts. To call attention to them by. discus
sing them would be fatal. Therefore the
opposition follows the discreet policy OF
letting the facts severely alone.

ROAD BUILDING
in US. GROWING.
|NTOB|GSYSTEM
Completion VIII Take zoe
Years, but Good Start
{ ls Made.

The United States has taken an
other step In its phenomenal history
Of highway development. Twenty
years ago this nation had neither
roads nor vestiRe OF systematic plan
which would ultimately give II roads.
Money was being spent then In large
sums for highway construction by
counties and townships ana some
States under a system or lack OF
system which assured that zoo years
OF such work would not provide the
connections which were yearly be-
coming moro vitality important with
the increased use Of the automobile
and motor truck.
Taking First Step.
The establishment Of county high
way systems which disregarded
township lines and made some ef.
Mort to concentrate the money avail
kble on those roads which gave the
reatest service to tho greatest num-
Ter In the county was the first step.
Then followed the establishment OF
in 1915, the first Federal appropria-
tion for highway construction which.
however, did iittso more than to
stimulate interest In highway i'm
provement and force the establish
rnent of State highway departments
and the laying out Of State highway
systems In those States which had
not previously taken these steps.
Now, after q hotly contested fight.
for all progress has its opponents,
the Federal highway act Is In
force. Even those who worked
hardest for the passage OF this leg.
islation viii be the first to admit
that II Is not perfect. 1t does. how.
ever, throw more safeguards around
the expenditure Of the Federal
money and forces the designation Of
an Interstate Federal highway sys-
tenn, upon which Government money
That the Federal Government
should rightfully interest itself IN
the development Of Interstate Nigh
ways Is the proposition which the
Lincoln Highway Association. the
pioneer prepayment Of nationally
important highway. has endeavored
to impress upon tho nation since
1913.
Two great truths are dawning
upon the American people, as their
interest In highway development in
creases. One il that this country
cannot, In 200 years complete the
proper construction Of all Of It's
highways-some 100000 miles.
The other is that experience has
demonstrated that less than 10 per
cent Of our highways carry about
30 per cent Of our traffic and that
this 10 per cent can be rapidly and
efficiently improved to the lasting
benefit Of every American. The VI
tai consideration Is the proper selec-
ton Of the highways forming that
system to be improved.
The Federal highway act re-
stricts the use Of Federal aid money
to about It's 900 miles Of American
highways. The appropriation Of
SIS. 000, 900 10 Insignificant. but II
properly administered will be fol-
lowed by annual appropriations as
Congress becomes more and more
convinced Of the wisdom Of this
Dolicy.

Bow Creek.

Trains outgoing from Butte on the

day afternoon were detOured via Gar
rison TO Helena, over the tracks of the
Northern Pacific as a result of a wash-
ont at Woodvlile, nine miles from Butte.
The washout followed a cloud0urs. tk1ss
struck the Butte territory at IL O'Clock
in the forenoon.
Silver Bow creek o%verfIowed it's
banks to submerge adjoining lowlands
TO a depth of three feet. Roads were
reported to the Great Falls offices of
the Great Northern as being impassi-
bic and many automobiles were stalled
IN the water. Street car service to
the southern districts of Butte was
halted for an hour and a half. One
county bridge over Silver Bow creek
was washed ont.
At the scene of the washOut the
tracks were submerged for a distance
of 80 feet. and in three places sand
washed down from the mountains
blocked the line. while at other places
the fill was washed from beneath the
rails. Train No. 235 had left Helena
before the washout could be reported
and the passengers were conveyed
from Woodville to Butte in automo-
biles, furnished by the railroad.
An extra gang crew was located in
Butte at the time of the washout and
repairs were started as soon as the
men could be taken to Woodville. 1t

the line would be cleared for traffic
