BABCOCK UNJUSTLY BLAMED
Editorial in Fairmont Sentinel)

A number of exchanges coming to
the Sentinel office have been pub
fishing some rather heated editorials
in opposition to the building Of the
so-called Superior National Forest
roads. We do not question their
rights to express opinions on any
matter affecting the state of Mime
sofa. but we suspect that some of
them have jumped into the argument
and taken sides without being fully
informed on the subject.
Some six or eight years ago the
State Relief board appropriated a
sum of money to build road from
Grand Marias north, through the
east end of the Superior National
forest.
The state forestry board, the fed
eral forest service, the game and
fish department, the state auditor and
the governor seem to have been
unanimous in the belief that there
was urgent need for the road. This
road has been known as the Jake
Preus highway or more commonly
the Gunfint trail.
Now the counties propose to ex.
tend this road westward to Seagul
lake and to build another road east
ward from Ely to Fernberg lookout
and later to build a connection be
tween these two roads. These pro
iects are entirely outside and nortl
Of the Superior National forest. Nov
some of the people in these coa1:Le.
are wondering what right people III
other parts of the state have tc sa!
that they cannot build roads in tEtil
own counties, through privately
owned land, if they choose to do so,
There is not dollar of state none!
going into these roads. They arr
neither trunk highways nor state aie
roads. Commissioner Babcock, wht
has aroused the ire of the opponent
of these roads because he favors theil
construction, can neither build then
nor prevent their being built. III,
has simply expressed the opinion thai
it would be to the interest of the STATE
and the public that these roads b.
bull, and if there is any man in tn,
state whose opinion and judgment OF
road matters should be given serious
weight, it is C. M. Babcock.
The federal forestry department
enters into it only because it has al
appropriation for building roads in O
adjacent to the natural forests AM
81 has offered to give THE countie
8 s25, 900 to help in building thes
roads, so as to give through acces
to fire ranger look out stations
The people responsible for the car
Of the forest want some means o
retting around to the northern sid
Of the forest, particularly in tn
spring when the lakes and rivers ar
frozen.
The argument Of the oppositiol
seemed plausible until we got thes
facts. But reverse the situation am
imagine how we would feel If tn
ueorle of Hennepin or Beltran
or St. Louis counties came and toll
the people in Martin county that W
could not build roads wherever the
pleased in our own county. An
suppose the federal government ha
come land here and offered us som
money to help in building roads t
that land. How would We feel

st. Paul, Sept. 21-Members of

AS mapter of fact there is no

RAILROAD BONDS

Fours Gain-But Few
Weak Spots Noted.
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. February 1S.-Rail-
way issues were more prominent in
todays bond trading. Speculatively,
the feature was the rapid advance in
Chicago and Alton 3ias. which. cross
ing 81, was at a new peak for the
year.
The commonly accepted explanation
was that the rise forecast merger de-
velOpments, the Frisco-Rock Island
System and the Loree Southwestern
roads being mentioned as possible
buyers. There was also the possibility
of early reorganization under which
these az per cent bonds would be un-
disturbed. Chicago Great Western As
was another strong railroad issue,
which at 68 was up point on the
day and also at new high. Western
Maryland As duplicated the high OF
the day before.
In higher grade railroad obligations,
Rock Island refunding As were in ac-
tive demand, advancing to the best
level of 1925. Wabash 5Rs gained a
y point. and Southern Pacific refund
ing As was higher Atchison general
AZ and Terminal Railway Association
OF st. Louis As went up slightly. So
did Norfolk and Western divisional

were steady. with the most interest

WHEAT IN SHARP
ADVANCES TODAY
Small Domestic Carry-over Now
Predicted-Buyers Much
More Active.
By the Associa ated Press.


CHICAGO, February 18-Commis-
sion houses showed more actively on
the buying side of the wheat market
today In the first part Of the board Of
trade session, and with offerings light,
prices went decidedly higher. One of
the stimulating factors was an esti-
mate from a trade leader that even
should the United States exports be-
tween now and July ] be as low as
25.000.000 bushels, the final domestic
carryover would be only $4,000. 900
bushels. Liverpool quotations. higher
than due, counted also as a bullish in
nuence. Chicago opening prices, s.
to 1b up, May new 1864 to 1861
and July, !.4s. were followed soon by
material further gains. Corn and oats
were f1rmer. owing chiefly to wheat
strength.
After opening unchanged to &c
higher. May 1914 to 1917. the corn
market scored a moderate advance
all around.
Oats started at a shade to 1sc
higher. May Az to 4las, and later

system than has been common in
our light cars, pump circulatory
cooling system, and four wheel
brakes will be essential for any light
car, powered with a high speed
motor Of the European type, win be
fast on the road and snappy in
pickup, two desirable features but
two which require ample control
facilities when 1t is desirable to stop
the car quickly. 1t is only natural
deduction that light car with such
motor will also require that the
weight be carried closer to the
ground than is the practice at the
present time and this would lead to
lower bodies.
Many interesting surmises are
possible along the lines of what the
light, small car of the future will
look like If we adopt the European
type of engine construction. 1t is
safe to assume that it will be con-
siderably different from any of the
light cars which are now being built.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-05-08

when the maximum displacement al
lowed was 1873 cubic inches and this
was continued through 1921 and
1922, the best average speed during
these three years being 94.48 miles
an hour from a motor with a dts
placement of 1914 cubic inches.
In 1923 and 1924 the same kind Of
q reduction was made and the size
of the motors was restricted to below
1872 cubic inches. During these two
years the maximum average speed
was 1928 miles an hour achieved by
a motor with the maximum allowed
displacement.
An interesting feature of these
figures Is that the speed of the cars
increased materially with the de-
crease in piston displacement or. in
other words. with the increase in
the mechanical efficiency of the
power plant. The smaller motors
were of the high speed type such as
Is generally employed in European
design.
A decrease Of 1870 in piston dis
placement was followed by an in
crease of 31eo in speed capacity.
While the decrease in piston dis
placement of the types of motors
commonly used in our passenger
been commensurate nor on the same
plane with the decrease in racing
motors, still there has been a mark
ed change In motor sizes with the
smaller dimensions. higher speed
power plant assuming supremacy.
The adoption Of the European
type motor in our light cars will
show a still more marked reduction.
1t is not probable that we will see
the four cylinder motor which will
continue to mark the small, light
car, brought down to 122 cubic inches
but figures not far above this are
likely to prevail.
The adoption of such motor,
with its power and speed possibili-
ties will entail radical changes in
the general construction of the
small, light car.
Among these will be the necessity
for higher developed fabrication
