Highway Prepared
For Winter Traffic

Trunk highway patrolmen around
Redwood Falls have been busy the last
few days getting the highways in
shape for winter. Besides making
preparations to keep the roads open
when snow comes, the State highway
department promises to do all that
can be done to keep the road sur
face smooth when there is no snow.
Maintenance patrolmen will work
on a part time basis all winter. The
maintenance forces try to keep the
roads in such shape that they will
be smooth when they freeze. After
freezing they will watch for chances
when it thaws to blade the road sur
face and fill ruts and chuck holes
Other work includes draining water
puddles that may accumulate during
thaws, and seeing that culvert inlets
and outlets are open. No gravel haul
ing will be done during the white,
months except to fill holes that may
develop by traffic during thaws.
No snow blowing or grading will be
done until snow is more than six
inches deep, and no blowing will be
done when snow drifts faster than il
can be removed. Patrolmen are in
structed to give attention first to any
places where traffic gets stuck. Some
snow will be left on the road to facili.
tate sleigh traffic When snow is re
moved by blade graders, it is spread
out so as to leave no obstruction FOL
the next snow storm.
Maintenance patrolmen make daily
reports twice week, whether work
ing or not. The reports cover gener-
al road conditions, depth Of snow fall
and drifts, width Of path opened, and
time worked. Patrolmen are author

The Gazette has received request
From C. M. Babcock, commissioners OF
highways, to urge its readers to use
extreme caution while driving auto
mobiles during cold weather.
''There has been an unusual num-
Der of serious accidents in all parts

Gains or closed windows, especially If
they are not kept clean, make it diff
1icult to see warning signals or ap-
preaching trains or vehicles. They
also make it difficult to hear auto
morn, train whistles and crossing
bells. Pedestrians with coat collars
up or caps over their ears add to the
hazard. Driving at dusk without prop

ger. Motorists should exercise more

anxious to do everything to promote
safety on the highways. We have

ways, providing sight distance. elm

grade crossings and erecting warning
signs. This work will continue, but
there our direct control ends. Beyond
that we must depend on local officials,
newspapers and motorists themselves

Il expect to ask the Legislature to
establish highway patrol, as a
means of getting more uniform law
enforcement and curbing the criminal

caution. The only way to reduce the
number of accidents of this type is
Through continuous and repeated

JOIE DAYS CAREER WITH
AMATEURS is BRILLIANT
(By Dispatch 4. 2. Wire)


NEW YORK, March 15.-The pas
sing of Joie Ray from the ranks of
amateur track and field sports re-
moved one of the most colorful as
well as one of the most brilliant fig
ures this branch of sports has had
in the last decade.
From 1915, when the barrel -chested,
sturdy-limbed Chicagoan won his
first national mile running champion
ship, until he was eclipsed by the
sensational rise of Paavo Nurmi to
ne wdistance running heights in
1925, Ray was pretty much the king
of the roost at his speciality.
For ten years little Joie, charac-
teristically bombastic yet unusually
popular with the fans, was the best
of Uncle Sam's milers. He won the
national title eight time in the period
from 1915 to 1928 on outdoor tracks,
and invariably killed off all opposi-
tion at indoor running. Ray aclI-
knowledged few indoor rivals until
Nurmi turned loose his phenomenal
speed

COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
FAVORABLY REPORTS CAMERONS
San CARLOS DAM AMENDMENT

PHoDNIX, Mardh 15.-The COM
mittee on appropriations of the
United States senate has reported
favorably to the senate body the
Cameron amendment TO the depart
ment of the interior bill providing
for an additional $450,000 for the
construction Of the San Carlos dam
project in Arizona, in addition to
the amount already provided for in
the appropriations bill which recent
ly passed the house of representa-
tives, according to advices received
here today from Washington, d. c.,
by federal officials.
The favorable reporting out of the
amendment comes as the climax to
a strenuous fight led by the senator
from Arizona on Thursday before the
senate appropriations committee, Of
which he is member. At that time
he found himself vigorously opposed
by representatives from the upper
basin states who injected into the
discussion the Colorado river COM
pact controversy, against which in

protests. A telegram received here

Nurmi. Joie was defeated time after
time by the Phantom Finn. The
American was outclassed bnt he new
ertheless stuck to his guns and
wound up his camp paign by eGualling
Nurmfs mile record of 4:12. This
was the fastest mile Joie ever turned
in and it was the disappointment of
his career that it came on the night
Of .Nurmi's famous veal pie" collapse
in Madison Square Garden.
The Finn's downfall came in a pre-
vious race with Willie Ritola and he
was not able to face the starting gun
in the later event for which Ray was
primed.
Prior to Paavo's advent, Joie claimed
possession of ten indoor marks, rang
ing from 1000 yards to 5000 meters.
The Finn eradicated all but one of
these. The net result today is that
Ray sticks to the records as q CO.
holder in just two instances. One of
these is the mile mark he shares
with Nurmi, and the other the 1000
record of minutes, 13 2-5 seconds
which he shares with the former
Finland, it seems insisted upon
supplying Nemesis for Ray at the
high points of his career. 1t was in
1923, when the "Kankakee Filler" was
at the height of one of his greatest
indoor campaigns that Willie Ritola,
an Americanized Finn, turned up to
make things interesting for Joie. Ray
beat Ritola in three out of five hotly
contested races, but there was little
to choose between the two Ray
showed to advantage up to two miles
and Ritola evidenced superiority over
longer routes.
That season, however, saw Ray
compile a notable all-round record.
He won nine out of twelve races in
the east in six-weeks' period and
set six worlds records in doing SO,
besides forcing Ritola to hang up
new marks on each of the two oc-
casions the Finn triumphed.
All told, Ray carried off thirteen
