HEARING ON
west SAUk
ROAD PROJECT

About 100. men from this locality
gathered at the Hazeltine corners
this morning to discuss the propos
cd relocation Of the West Sank
road, J. T. Donaghey of the state
highway department was present as
were other members of the state
highway commission, the county
highway committee and business
men of the city.
Mr.. Donaghey explained the pro
posed change in which it is propos-
ed to expend a fairly large sum in
Strengthening highway IL at the
Spencer school and relocate the
road on the south side, reducing
the grade of the Sank hill to a con
siderable extent.
Another possible change is to re-
locate the road straight over the
hill by the old Cowles farm but
this would prove very expensive
since it would be necessary to re-
move much granite on the hillside.
Other suggested changes were
to run the highway diagonally
across the field opposite the school
house and at different angle over
the hill
The matter is a federal aid pro-
position the state to appropriate an
equal amount to that expended by
the federal government. Hereto
fore there has been some com
plant as to the expenditure of fed
eral aid and the meeting was cal
led for the purpose of determin-
ing if the proposal has the approval
of those in the locality.
Others who spoke were County
Highway Commissioner Halbersle-
ben, G. w. Andrews, chairman of
the county board, E. G. Hood Of
Spring Green, member Of the coun-
ty highway committee, and Urban
Mather, chairman of the town of
Sumpter.
All assured Mr.. Donaghey that
the project met with the hearty
approval Of Sank county residents
and Mr.. Donahey expressed the
hope that the county will fill in
the gaps between the two projects.
The plan is to grade the highway
this year and to surface it next
year. the Sumpter hill to be sur
faced with concrete.

ing on the house calendar

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
. ><%+<%%%~<%<<<>I
CBy Prof. Fonder)

A stormy session of congress is
predicted for the short term and it is
expected that nothing worth while
will be done on farm relief legisla-
tion. The farmer, who is sitting back
holding his hands in anticipation of
relief from donation by the govern
ment, is going to hold his hands for a
long time. If the government were
appropriating money for the relief of
foreigners it would probably move a
little faster. But why hurry when
the American farmer is the one who
is in need Of assistance.
When a class of people begin to
look for something such as this re-
lief from the government, they are
apt to wait long time. Would it
not be a wiser plan to attempt to find
some means of reducing the cost of
production to a point where profit is
possible rather than to count on
somebody slipping something your
way. If We were living in an Utopia
we might expect our legislative
friends to give us some of the money
pau lIllO lLlC y. - llGCSulS ny tut
people of the country. But, Utopia is
as far removed from this world today
as it was during the days of More.
So day dreams today are just as pro-
ductive now as they were then.
Helping Those on the Reclamation
Service.
Secretary of the Interior Work has
approved the rules drawn up for the
relief of those on reclamation pro-
jects. In the rules there is provision
for filing claims for extension of time
not later than January l. This ap-
plication has to go through several
hands before it will be finally ac-
cepted. This may be a long process
but it will at least give a chance to
breathe again.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-That the
real ener.ies of the Constitution are
not reds and bolshevists but cor
rupt, impotent public officials and

elared in a letter written to former

efty III reply to one sent him by
the latter. Mr.. Davis said, further:
IF the Constitution is to endure
the first requisite is that men who
hold offices under it shall be hon
est and faithful to their trust
With respect to the testimony of
Grafton B. Means. Mr.. Davis said it
was Mr. Dausherty who appointed
Means to a confidential position in
the Department OF Justice, and that
testimony before a Senate commit
tee was quoted.

In his letter, Davis recalled that
the committee of the United States
Senate which investigated the indiet-
ment against Senator Burton X.
Wheeler was headed by Senator VIII
liam r. Borah. Republican, and
that committee declared the indict-
ment utterly without foundation
Citing aDaughertys statement about
"vague references Mr.. DAVIS mad
made TO him, Davis wrote;
