REVISION ROAD ''' ACT OF 1921 IS
 AIM OF ALDRICH
Introduces New Cooperative Road Bill in Senate,
 Making Few Changes.

Carrying provisions for Alaska to come under the Federal Highway Act of November 19, 1919. new road bill was introduced in the Senate to- day by Senator Aldrich which is directly opposed to the road measure which was brought into the House yesterday by Representative Wilson of Nome. The Aldrich measure car ries strong cooperative features and only differs from the existing road law in that it provides for the em- ployment of competent engineer to supervise Territorial road work, an alternative Board of Road Commis- sioners in the propose9 nGe"a of Con- trol and in special reference to the Federal Highway Act
 The bill in no way, apparently seeks to disturb the existing system of cooperation between the Territory and Federal road builling agencies. Section 6 provides: "The Territory of Alaska hereby accepts and as. sents to the conditions and provi- sions of the Federal Highway Act as soon as the same shall be made applicable to the Territory; and it shall be the duty of the Board to formulate and promulgate all rules and regulations necessary or proper 10 comply with the Federal Highway Act as soon as the same shall be ma le applicable to Alaska, or with ether road law enacted by Congress granting a.l to the Territory in the construction. repair, alteration and maintenance of the roads. In addi ten to such provision for coopera tion Section 13 provides: "The Board shall have authority 10 enter into cooperative agreements with the Alaska Road Commission. the Sec retary of Agriculture of the United States, the Bureau of Public Road of the United States. and other Fed eral authorities. for the construction operating, etc., of roads.
 Sentiment Seems Favorable
 While the bill was unfamiliar tc most legislators, it being read by title only today, a number were inclined to be favorably impressed with its purport. General satisfaction seemed to prevail over the retention and strengthening eff the cooperative flea lures. Members of the lower House who had seen copies of Mr Aldrich' bill were favorable to it rather thar to the one introduced there by MT Wilson yesterday.
 Many members of the Legislature have said that the reported opposi

 Aver Makes Statement
 In statement mace this morning to a representative of The Empire, Senator Fred Aver, denied that the reople of the Sacond Division are greatly dissatisfied with the present system. He said that there was some effort to force an issue over the road law and that candidates who made the race on platform promis- ing to work for a restoration of the old system were defeated. MT. Aver made the race on the Republican ticket and said:
 "The Republican platform of the legislative candidates did not touch on the subject as it was viewed by us that the present cooperative Ter r.torial road law was giving such general satisfaction. that we did not consider it necessity to give it our hearty endorsement. Two years be- fore it was more or less an issue on account of the abrupt change from the 1917 Road Act and the great

A New Back for an Old One. How
II Can Be Done in Gunnison

The back aches at times with dull,
Understandable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame that too stoop is
agony. No use to rub or apply a
plaster to the back if the kidneys are
weak You cannot reach the cause.
Gunnison residents would do well to
profit by the following example:
Mrs. J. f.. Martinez, San Juan Ave,
Montrose, Colo, says: 81 had been
working in my garden and after that
my back panied. Pains like sharp
needles took me across my kidneys
and often felt so dizzy ] nearly fell.
