MUCH HIGHWAY
AA =,
WORK AHEAD
Year 1926 Promises To Be
Big One in State

The year 1926 promises to be a
big one in highway construction in
North Dakota. Applications for fed
eral aid projects on file with the
state highway commission indicate
at least as much road work is con-
templated as during 1924, and the
applications are expected to be in
creased materially during the win
: ter.
Counties have requested road
work totalling 400 miles of earth
grading, 278.35 miles of gravel sur
facing and rs miles of paving, ac-
cording to highway commission rec
ords. This is said to be about the
same amount as requested at this
time last year.
During the year 1924, road work
completed and accepted totalled 80
miles of earth grading, ITO miles Of
gravel surfacing and 2.9 miles of
paving. A total of 1868 miles of
all kinds of road work was placed
under contract during 1924, and con-
siderable work is now under contract
but it yet to be completed.
HThe total of federal aid road con-
4 struction completed and accepted in
North Dakota to date ia 1,945 miles
of earth grading, $40 miles Of gravel
surfacing and &C miles Of paving.

CENTRALIZE

INSTRUCTION
Supervision Also To Go To
State School at Wahpe-

What was characterized as another
step in the direction of avoiding
of effort in educational
institutions of the state was taken
by the state board of administra-
tion today in centralizing trades and
industries instruction in the State
School of Science at Wahpeton.
The resolution adopted by the
board declares that it is the sense
of the board of administration that
tall work in trades and industries in
the state, whether maintained by
Federal or State funds, be centered
at the State School at Wahpeton,
from and after the end of the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1925. and fur
ther, that the Director of Vocational
Education be asked to outline and
recommend such Amendments to the
present plan of cooperation between
the state board of administration
and the federal board of vocational
education touching upon the question
of supervision and teacher-train
ing in the field of trades and indus
tries as will effectually carry out
this plan"
It is expected that, in carrying
out the resolution, supervision Of
trade and industries instruction now
centered in officials at the Agricul-
tural College will be transferred to
the Wahpeton school. Edward
Erickson, director of vocational edu-
cation, expressed belief that the plan
would meet with favor of federal
authorities and DR.. j. L. Coulter,

PRODUCTION OF
MEAT AGAIN AT
HIGHEST PEAK
Equals if Not Exceeded the
Record Made During
Year 1928, Report

Chicago, Dec. 31.--Production of
meat in the United States during the
year closed today equalled, if 1t did
not exceed, the record breaking pro-
duction of 1923. according to state
ment today by the Institute of Amer
lean Meat Packers, through its presi-
dent Oscar G. Mayer of Chicago.
Notwithstanding the heavy market
ings of livestock which made this
large production possible, prices be-
ing paid to farmers for most of their
animals are higher on the average
than year ago and substantially
higher than in 1913, Mr.. Mayer as
serted.
"Meat prices generally as might be
expected in view of the increased
price being paid for livestock, also
were somewhat higher than before
the war;" he continued. During
much of the year, however, whole
sale pork prices were at or below
pre-war levels. Fresh pork and some
grades of beef, especially those from
grass fat cattle which have been in
liberal supply are being wholesaled
at relative low figures"

STOCK BOOM OF
1924 GREATEST
IN MANY YEARS
Railroad Shares Lead Post
Election Advance to High
est Figures in Years
INVESTORS ARE BUYING
Relatively Small Increase in
Bank Loans Show Stocks
Being Kept

New York, Dec. 3l.--(A. PA.
post-election boom of unprecedented
proportions carried stock prices to
the highest levels in years in the
closing weeks of the year.
Railroad shares were foremost in
the advance, many of them touching
the highest prices ever recorded. Not
since the early part of the present
century, when Hartman and Gould
struggled for the control of the
leading western transportation sys-
TENS of the country, has Wall Street
witnessed a railroad market Of such
breadth and volume as took place in
the last two months of the year.
An enormous investment demand,
apparently pent-up for years through
fear Of adverse legislation, broke
forth like flood in the few weeks
following election, when, it became
apparent that the so-called radical
bloc had lost the balance of power in
congress, that the administration
looked with favor upon railroad con-
solidations, and that the roads had
been successful in increasing their
net earnings through reduction in
operating costs. Tangible evidence
of this improvement, furnished by
the resumption of dividends on stocks
Of some of the southwestern car
riers, stimulated the demand, which
came from large institutions and
wealthy individuals. as we'll as a my
riad of small investors.
Industrials Advance
Industrials shared in the advance,
| the largest gains being recorded by
the securities of those companies
whose earnings gave definite indica-
, tions of business improvement.
Professional traders admittedly
| were surprised by the magnitude OF
the buying power, as indicated by the
| fact that stocks in which they had
i built up large paper profits in the
early fall were sold heavily in the
few days following the election, or
the theory that they could be re-
/, purchased later at lower levels. The
advance, however, once it got started
was an almost perpendicular one fol
about six weeks. The market wa!
taken away from the professionals
who were forced to bid for stock
several points above what they sole
them for in order to participate ir
the upward swing.
One of the curious features of tn.
rapid advance was the fact that il
| was accompanied by relativel!
slight increase in brokers' loans
which was construed as an indication
that the stocks were being taken ou
| of "the street" and put in strong
boxes. Wall Street brokerage houses
actually found themselves with NOR,
business than they could convenient
ly handle, despite an average increas,
of II percent, in brokerage commits
sions, which added millions of dollars
to their Golfers

Washington.-Wi the sick man,
was a greater object of friendly inter.

war days. The national capital never
lost its head or its balance when big
men came along: it was used to that
type. But after he had been stricken,
when broken in health, he sought to
get back the strength he had given to
his task, even that part of Washing
ton which hated his policies and his
powers, felt softening around the
heart as II saw him, bent low.
