Editor of Messenger.
We arrived here in New York the
morning OF April 9Th. Had lovely
vovageI from Los Angeles We were
sixteen days and nights on the water
T'rsve}ed $500 miles. We sailed on
he SIS Mongolia, vessel OF $4,000
tons. Besides 700 passengers we had
a cargo of 100000 worth of raw
silk loaded at San Franciscos from Jap
an. The steam ship company furnish
ed a full orchestra. We had concerts
every day at 1870 and P NJ. and
those who cared to dance could dance
every afternoon and evening. We had
divine services both Sunday Morn
ings
There is a saloon on deck and as,
sool as we pulled out of San Pedro

G. ai.ything they wanted; some of
the passengers sure carried load
all the way.

we left IIa'a nsi. She was embalmed
and taken tn N. Y. for burial.
There were two real fist fights
among the sailors, not for money, but
for blood. saw one of them a
disgusting brutal affair.
We saw whales, sharks, flying fish
and PURPOSES at different times and
crocodiles in the fresh water lake at
Panama.
| The Panama Canal is wonderful
achievement costing our government
in the neighborhood of three billion
dollars. The canal is so miles long,
four locks on the Pacific Side and
three on the Antlantic. A fresh water
lake in the middle of the canal 40
miles wide-an artificial lake. The
canal in the locks is built of concrete
about $50 it. wide and 4 of a mile
long from IS to 90 fit. deep.
Each lock is fitted with steel gates
opened and shut by electricity. These
gates weigh $50 tons The ship is pull
led into the locks with little electric
donkeys on either side of the canal,
the gate closed the water is pumped
in by electricity taking about so min.
to fill. The boat isw lifted 80 feet in
lock by raising the water from first
to last on the Pacific side boat is
raised about 90 it. then she goes on
thru the canal on her own power and
let out on the Atlantic side by lower

IDAHO STATE WEELY
INDUSTRIAL REVIEW

Stability or instability in produc-
isley know the facts as their own
business and as to the trade as a
whole. The greatest waste in all our
economic system is the periodic in
fationary boom and its consequent
ensuing slump with all their specu-
lation, unemployment ind extravagan
&c for without boom there is no slump

Minnesota Pushing Plans
to Keep Highways Open
State Department Is Securing Coop
GRAFTON and Broadening Plans
for Winter Campaign

| More definite plans for keeping op
en- to travel this winter many mile!
of both trunk and local roads ovel
the state were reported this week by
the Minnesota highway department
which is striving o corrolate such op
CREATIONS. That the state will make
every reasonable effort to carry
through a comprehensive program il
indicated by the statement by J. T.
Ellison, first assistant commissioner
and chief highway engineer.
"Winter road work by the state
will depend largely upon general
weather conditions and the numbers
of road users beneftting. The en-
larged program is prompted by the
departments desire to give the most
valuable service to the general pub
lie and particularly to the auto and
gas tax payers who are paying the
bills. With motor vehicles on the
majority of Minnesota farms and au-
to and gas tax receipts exceeding
estimates, the state will try winter
road opening work this year on a
liberal SCALE"
The state department is making a
survey to find out the plans of this
and all other counties for keeping
open state aid and other local roads,
because local road traffic will tend
to increase traffic on the trunk
routes.
A late proposal is to continue the
regular trunk route patrolmen on a
part time basis through the winter
toward insuring more success for the
snow removal campaign and less
maintenance expense during the
breakup next spring.
State crews are erecting $50 miles
of snow fence to prevent drifts on
hundreds of sections where timber or
other natural barriers do not serve
like purpose, and big snow plows are
being placed strategically over the
state to begin work on the first fall
of snow, all as previously stated.
Finally, the highway department
recently secured from bus compan-
les pledges of continued assistance
toward keeping open routes on which
their lines run, the companies work
to. be under the supervision of state
maintenance engineers in sixteen dis
tricts. In this connection a system
for securig prompt condition reports
following storms is being arranged.
Plans for opening roads in winter
during future years, highway officials
said will depend upon the experience
this year. Heretofore, the explained,
operations have been restricted be-
cause current funds were more limit
ed and it was believed the money
could be used to best advantage dur
ing the summer months when traffic
was heaviest.
Traffic this winter is to be checked
to determine sections where it is
heavy enough to justify the expense
of keeping the roads open. A sum-
mary of the plans showing routes to
be placed under winter maintenance
and other details is to be announced
later.

The rural schools will conduct the

city limits. A prize of a Special
School Thermometer, indicating the
proper temperature for health and
good work, will be given every rural
school that sell five dollars worth of
seals or more.
The Christmas Seal this year is
unusually attractive, the county di-
rector states, being printed in CHEEKY
Yuletide colors of red and green.
The design shows two lighted candles
on background of holly illuminating
the double barred cross, the interna-
tional insignia of the fight against
tuberculosis.
That every piece of Yuletide mail
in the county will bear one or more
of these health stamps is the hope of
the County Public Health Association
which is sponsoring the sale and
which directs the expenditure of the
funds for local health work. The of
ficer is: President, Mr.. P. J. Sober
ger, St. Cloud.
There is no connection between the
Red Cross drive and the Christmas
Seal sale, the county director an
nounces, the two organizations being
entirely separate. Christmas Seal
funds are used entirely to carry on
the local, state and national campaign
against tuberculosis and for the pre-
vention of all diseases.

cational campaign in interests OF
reinstatement of government insur-
ance, if the suggestion Of Congress-
man Allen Furlow of the First Dis
trict is carried out.
The campaign in this state will be
In the nature Of an experiment to de-
termine whether former service men
can be induced in great numbers to
renew their wartime insurance and
convert it to standard policies, which
must be done by July 2, 1926 ac-
cording to law. If the procedure is
successful in Minnesota the Veterans
bureau will extend its activities to
other states.
Mr.. Furlow suggested the sending
of missionaries" to General Frank
T. Hines, director of the veterans
bureau, at the request of the Mime
sofa American Legion. Mr.. Furlow
declared that he will sponsor bill
which will extend the time limit for
renewing insurance from July g,
1925, and that he also will support
an appropriation to provide the bur-
eau with necessary funds.
Veterans bureau officials informal
ly are said to have expressed ap-
proval OF the idea. 1t was the Min
nesota Legion Department Exc
cutive Committee, at its meeting fol-
lowing the Notre Dame Minnesota
football game and Legion Rally,
which initiated the demand that
former service men be warned of the
time limit and informed as to how
they can reinstate and convert their
wartime insurance to standard gov
eminent policies.
1t is pointed out that only $4,000
of Minnesota's 10000 service men
and women have government insur-
ance. The number is so small, it is
believed, because of lack of infor-
nation about reinstatement of the

Commissioner Babcock Back
From Argentine Congress
Minnesota Highway Head Is More
Firmly Convinced of Good
Roads Value

Charles M. Babcock, Minnesota
highway commissioner, returned this
week from South America more
firmly convinced than ever that
good roads are essential to economy
and prosperity and further of the
necessity for governmental cooper
alton and financial aid for highway
construction in the United States.
"I' defy any politician, who might
have seen what the United States
delegates saw in South America, to
continue to oppose government CO.
operation in road development" Mr..
Babcock said. "There are millions
of acres of land in Brazil that will
produce enormous crops, but there
are no facilities for moving these
crops to market. Under those con-
ditions you can get this land for
about 81 an acre. But with road
construction, the price would increase
a hundred fold.''
Commissioner Babcock was select
ed as delegate to the Pan-Ameri-
can Road Congress in Buenos Aires
because of his intimate knowledge of
highway financing, according to
Washington dispatches. He deliv-
cred one of the principal addresses
before the congress, On "The Financ-
ing of Road Construction in the
United States
During two months of travel, the
United States delegates covered
more than 5000 0miles making high
wny inspection tours Of Panama,
