LET new WORK
ON STATE HIGHWAY
TO BUILD KAMIAH HILL SECTION
GAPS BEING RAPIDLY
CLOSED UP.

Another important step in state
highway construction was taken yes
terday in the letting of contract for
construction of what is known as the
kamiah hill section of the Nezperce
branch of the North and south high
way, comprising 6.45 miles, extend
ing from the city limits of Kamiah to
the top of the hill, connecting with the
old road from Nezperce to Kamiah
1t is entitled state aid project No. SO,
and is under supervision of the state
highway department, but the funds
are provided by the Kamiah highway
district and the Lewis county board
of commissioners, says the Lewiston
Tribune.
The successful bidder was the Tri-
angle Construction company of Spo-
kane, the figures being $68,783, ,03,
this not including about 1,7OO feet Of
pipe. There were three other bidders,
Spokane, $74,453.42; e. L. Strickler,
Lewiston, $79,325.86; and J. A. Tert-
seling, of Moscow, 69,698.18.
Bids were made in detail, for clear
ing and grubbing nearly 200 acres of
land; for excavating solid rock, loose
rock and earth; for pipe of IL, 18,
"a and 80 inches; and for concrete
steel reinforcing and dry rubble. It
is understood that the Kamiah high
way district meets the expense to the
amount of $4,000 and Lewis county
pays the remainder. The time for
completion of the work is estimated
to be from five to six months.
On next Saturday, additional bids
for work on the North and South
highway will be opened. One of these
will be for the construction of Ia
miles of a section about one mile
south of Whitebird, which is now one
of the most difficult of the unfinished
portions of the highway. Bids for the
building of the Spalding bridge will
also be opened at that time; and bids
for three bridges located in federal
aid project No. SIS, which is now un-
der construction by the Murphy COM
pany, but the bridges for which are
not yet provided for. This project |
is located between Whitebird and Lu-
cile.
With the letting of these contracts,
all will be provided for as far as Rig
gins. All of the North and South
between Boise and Lewiston,
4O1 miles, will then be either built or
under construction, except about 25 /
miles of project No. So, which is
comprised Of number of short links,
and these will probably be built next
year.

Rome Considering
Drastic Measures to Curb
Speeding Motorcar.

Rome, Aug. 4.-Confronted with the
difficulty of controlling speeding auto
mobiles within the city limits, Rome is
considering a device which will pre-.
vent the car to which it is attached
from travelling over ten miles ar
hour. The more the driver "steps on
it," the slower the car will run.
This automatic speed regulator is
the invention of Ernesto Fragano and
Ettore Villa. An indicator is set al
the number Of miles an hour desired
as the maximum speed. An applica-
ton of centrifugal force interrupts the
working of the motors if the driver
attempts to go beyond the limit.
In Rome the narrow streets in the
older quarters of the city; the num-
erous hills, and the inequalities in the
pavements of many streets make fast
driving particularly dangerous. Driv-
ers are prone to disregard existing
speed regularities, so the city authori-
ties are giving thought to making
the use OF this automatic
speed regulator

Another Nobleman Feels
The Pinch Of Hard Times

London, Aug. 4.-The Duke of
Northumberland is hard up, as are
many other members of the old no.
hility in these days of excessive tax
alton, and is compelled to retrencil
like many untitled folk in order to
make both ends meet.
He has sold many Of his northern
properties, including several large ho-
tcls. To wealthy Paris art dealer
he recently rented his magnificent
mansion on the Thames, near Kew.
1t is one Of the biggest residences
in the country.
And still the Duke feels the neces-
Sity of cutting down expenses. He has
decided to close Alnwick Castle, which
has been the Northumberland home of
the Porcys since early in the 14tr CEN
tury. He will retain only q few rooms
in the castle for use when he and
the Duchess are in the north. The
rest Of the place will be shut up. The
shooting on the estate is to be let.

Rain and Sun Producing
Bountiful Crops in Russia

Moscow, Aug. 3.-Mothcr Nature
appears to be trying to make up tc
Russia for what she did to her last
year. Accurate estimates of the grain
crop Of 1922 still are lacking, bu,

years have such growing crops bec,7
seen.
When rains were needed, they camc
this spring in 4 profusion that made

shine was necessary it was on hand
Unless some unprecedented weather
condition develops between now and
time OF the harvest, practically every
bushel of seed that was planted last
lutunM and this spring seems sure to
Jcar fruit.
Rye fields higher than q mans heah

Cattle which locked like skeletons in

In some localities stricken last year
by the drouth an unusual phenomenon

In other places, where tho grain was
so short and undeveloped last autumn
as to be unworthy of harvesting, these
dwarf plants dropped their seed and
this, too, has esprouted under the
rains and sunshine.
Generally speaking the ground
seems to have gained strength during
the famine year, and the rich nitrates
which q big 1921 crop would have ex-
hausted were left in the soil to fatten
the kennels and strengthen the stalks

If the surplus of fruitful rcgions
can be transported 10 the cities and

the peasants do not hoard it, Russian
officials express the conviction that
famine will be practically dead and
that after October full stomachs will

Mrs. Bessie Rogers Drake

It seems natural that since women
have the right to vote, that they
should ask for share in the govern
mept. There was once a time, and 1t
Is not so far in the past, when the
only profession open to women was
that Of teaching. But recently wo-
men have demonstrated their ability
to hold down all kinds Of jobs, and
the world is beginning to acknowledge
their skill, judgment and efficiency
along lines of work that have hith-
erto been open to men only.
The department. of education, con-
tinues to offer the most inviting field
for women. Since the great body of
teachers in South Carolina is made up
mostly of women, it is proper and fair
that woman should be at their head
as state superintendent of education.
There are, doubtless, many women
in the state who could fill the position
worthily but we know of no one better
fitted than Mrs. Bessie Rogers Drake.
An honor graduate Of Winthrop Col
lege, she taught for number Of years
in her native county and in Chester.
Mrs. Drake comes from a. family that
has always stood for educational
progress, and she herself has taken an
active interest in education, and all
farms of social and civic improve
ment, both before and since her mar
riage.
There are 1000 Winthrop Daugh-
ters who are solidly behind Mrs.
Drake in her candidacy for state su-
perintendent of education. This is
partly due to pride in ones alma
mater that prompts fellow students
to stand by one of their number who
is worthy Of their support. But there
are many persons, both men and w.
men who have been favorably i'm
pressed with Mrs Drake, as she has
gone from town during the campaign.
Her personality is charming, and
she has clear cut way of speaking
and altogether her manner and her
liberal views have won for her many
admirers among both sexes.
In this election, the first in South
Carolina in which women are candi.
dates for public Office, there is no
question of men and women being ar
raycd against each other. Men will
vote for women and women will vote
for men. =:
But there are more women in the
state than there are men, and if all
the women vote for a woman candi-
date we will have woman state su-
perintendent of education which is "a
consummation devoutly to be wished"

Modern Plays to be Staged
In Ancient Roman Ruiz

Florence, Italy, Aug. 3.-The old
Roman theater at Fiesole will this
autumn, if present plans are carried
out, be used again for the purpose II
was originally so we'll constructed
many centuries ago. 1t will witness
the production of series Of plays,
but this time its stone seats will be
filed, it is hoped, by latter day tour
lists who will find interest In the novel
idea. Gabrielle d'Annunzio is giving
his support to the project, and it is
probable that one of his tragedies
will be- i'm the repe' tory.
This ruin of the days of Rome Is
beautifully located in the ancient
Etruscan town that stands upon the
olive covered hills above Florence.
1t has admirable acoustic properties.
Nineteen tiers of stone seats still re
main in a semi-circle 81 yards in
diameter, while just below these are
three more rows of special seats used
in olden times by persons of rank.
1t is proposed, beginning next Sep
tember, to give performances every
spring and autumn when the weather
in Italy is particularly agreeable. In
addition to the dAnnunzio play, the
first series of productions will include
a Greek classic tragedy; melO-
drama, probably Orpheus by Monte
verde, and drama from the pen Of
a modern Italian writer.
