ROAD BUILDING LAGS

Minnesota Is Not Keeping, Up With
Other States In improvements
Good graveled roads for which
Minnesota is famous will continue
to carry the traffic on the largest
mileages of state trunk highways
for many years, says the highway
bulletin, but because of agitation
for pavements on some heavy
traffic sections to reduce mainten-
ance expense, comparisons of pave
ment building in various states are
given.
Minnesota has built 240\ miles of
paving under the new highway pro-
gram or 100 miles year. Reports
for the latest years show PNnnsyl-
vania with $40 miles, New York
$50, Illinois $50, Michigan $40, Wis
consin $40, and Ohio 260-an annual
average of 425 miles compared with
100 in this state.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, said that gravel
roads are to be preferred where
they will .economically serve. Pro-
posed bond funds will enable the
state to extend some needed paving,
he added, but will be used for long
er mileages of grading and other
permanent improvements.

HARDINGFILLSTWO
POSTS IN CABINET.
Work Is Secretary Interior
and Senator New To Be
Postmaster General
lAssociated Press Dispatch.l

Washington, d. c., February 81
Selection of Postmaster General
Work to succeed Albert Fall as
secretary VI the interior and of
Senator Harry S. New Of Indiana
to become postmaster general, was
announced today at the white house.
The change in the cabinet line
up is to take place on March 4,
when Mr.. Fall retires after two
years service, and the nominations
of Mr.. Work and Senator New
were sent to the senate today to
permit their confirmation before
the present session of congress
comes to an end.
Senator New had been offered a
place in the original Harding cab
met, but declined because he thought
he could render the administration a
greater service by remaining in the
senate. In last years primaries he
was defeated for denomination, how
ever, and when it became known that
ne was under consideration for the
cabinet, an element of the Indiana
republican organization began a de-
termined, but losing fight to prevent
the appointment.
The selection of Mr.. Work to take
the interior portfolio has been fore
cast ever since President Harding
began to turn over in his mind the
names of available candidates. A
resident of Colorado, and a man of
demonstrated ability in government
al organization, Mr. Work is regarded
by the president as fulfilling all the
qualifications for an interior secre-
tary.
Senator News nomination was
confirmed Immediately by the SEN
ate, in open session following pre-
cedents of courtesy to sitting mem
bers.
NICK enzie Moss of Kentucky was
nominated today to- be assistant
