It is further pointed out that
the Highway Department has,
since 1916, expended 81 100000
of money from the Federal Gov
eminent, and the statement of Il.
[. Hewes, of San Francisco, re
gional engineer of the U. S. Blu
reau Of Roads-given in an inter
view in the Walla Walla Bulletin
of July 16, 1924-is conclusive
evidence of the opinion held by
an authority of recognized
standing. Mr.. Hewes says:
You may say that the High
way department Of the United
States Government emphatically
endorses the wos', of he High
way Department Of Washington.

CROWDS EXPECTED.

Circus davl The day OF untold pleas
ures for the young and old alike. Cir
chs dav with the odor of sawdust, ami
mails frying fish and sausage mlngllng
with the neighing horses, shouting OF
the ballahoo and balloon men and the
screams and cries of the wild animals,
AS is the usual custom in Dawson
there will probably be large crowd
of boys at the depot several hours be-
fore daylight. There huddled around a
fire built on the ground they will wait
for the special train bringing the show
to town.
In all probability the local school
will declare a half holiday, according
to the usual custom, to allow the
Youngsters to witness the street pa
rade which will take place at noon.
Circus day in Dawson is always a
gala day, and many people will count
the hours for tomorrow to arrive While
the young boys will set alarm clocks
TO awake in the small hours OF the
morning to greet the train upon its
arrival. Christy Brothers circus has
never showed in Dawson and the
quality Of the show is not known here
but circus day means good crowd IN
the city, and the one tomorrow is not
likely to prove otherwise.

yearly rental. The Bank Commission
pays $3.50 for quarters opposite the

$1,842. While this might not pay all
OF the interest on the cost of an ex-
tension to the State House, it would
go part of the way to paying the in

cost of new quarters.
AT the present time there are about
~ new rooms or offices needed, if the
present commissions and boards were
to be all housed within the State
House.
The new or additional offices need
ed are as follows: Auditor. one room:
Secretary of State, three; Health and
Welfare, five; State Tax Commission
ers, one; Supplies Board, one.
This is very conservative estimate.
Many of the boards and commissions
are working in entirely too cramped
quarters and with practically no pri-
vacy. Should new building and ex-
tension be contemplated, there might
be demands and just one at that for
more office room, so that the nineteen

Cramped for More Room
The necessity for the next legisla-
ture planning to extend the State
House at Dover, or through supple
mental buildings, arrange to care for
the increasing clerical force, is be-
coming more apparent all the time.
As a matter of fact the need has be-
come so plainly established that GER
tain officials have already been sug-
gesting ways and means by which the
state could care for all of the depart
ments that have been created and do
so properly.
Anyone who has visited the State
House within the year has become
cognizant of the need. The Secretary
of States Office has overfowed into
the Railways of the first floor. The
State Health and Welfare Commits
sion has been compelled to use com
mittee rooms and cloak rooms on the
second floor that are ordinarily used
by members of the legislature when
that body is in session.
Secretary of State Benson, has not
had the use of his office for months,
owing to the space being utilized by
clerks. General Benson has had the
use of a desk in one corner of the
room of Governor Denney's private
Office and has been compelled to rent
rooms and offices throughout other
sections of Dover. When the legisla-
ture convenes, however, the health
and welfare clerks will have to re-
move their books and papers if Other
quarters are not found for them be-
fore that time.

NEW YORK, January 3.-Activity
in today's bond market centered on
the speculative issues. notably the
fractions.
The Brooklyn Manhattan Transit 6s
made new high on the present move
under fairly heavy transactions. This
advance is based upon the growing
conviction that under the reorganiza-
tion earning power is ample to cover
all fixed charges and leave sub
stantiaI surplus. Only the recollec-
tion of the receivership serves to de-
ter investors, and this factor Is likely
to be of diminishing Importance.
The Market Street Railway first 50

casting successful refundlng next
