CHANGES IN ROADS
IMPROVE SPOTS IN
WORST CONDITION
Highway Commission Reroutes
Program by Dropping Some
Stretches for Others
RELINK No. 4s At MANDAN
BY Tapping Yellowstone Trail
Outside City Five Miles Are
Gained Elsewhere

Although enough roads already
have been designated to use up the
$500 miles which is the maximum,
for the state highway system under
the present law, it is possible that
changes in existing routes will make
it possible for the highway depart
ment to add a few more miles where
it is absolutely necessary.
At its recent meeting the highway
commission approved changes in
routes which will shorten them some
what. Every time an existing road is
shortened one mile it becomes pos
sible for the commission to add a
mile to road somewhere else with
out exceeding the mileage fixed by
law.
A saving of eight miles will be ef-
fected by dropping off that portion
Of U. S. highway No. 2, from Devils
Lake to Churchs Ferry, and connect
ing Churchs Ferry with No. 20, one
mile south of Webster.
A change in route No. 46, from
route No. 9 through Enderlin to 60 on
the county line one mile farther
north, will save one mile.
A saving of five miles will be made
by changing the route of No. 49,
northwest from Mandan to connect
with U. S. No. 10 about four miles
west OF Mandan. AS originally
planned it would have been separ-
ate route into the Morton county
seat.
Four miles would be saved by run
ming route No. due north from
Sheyenne to route No. 81.
A saving of 10 miles would be ef-
fected by extending route No. q west
to connect with Route Is north of
Marmarth, permitting route No. 80
to be dropped.
Eight miles would be saved by drop
ping the routing of U. S. No. 2 from
Williston to a point west of Epping,
and running it due. west from Epping
to a connection with U. S. No. IS.
Lack OF connections at the Can
adam border would permit dropping
the routes from Crosby and Fortuna
to the Canadian line, making a saw
ing of IA miles.
Twelve miles would be saved by
the route from Bottineau to
Lake Mctigoshc. 81.
Bydropping the spur from route No.
9 to Manfred, four miles. would be
saved.
Because of lack Of further allowable
in the state system, the
highway commission has been forced
to reject five applications for state
roads. These roads would be north
and south from Bisbee, Towner coun-
ty, a road son the county line be-
tween Divide and Williams counties,
a road south from Juanita in Foster
county and proposed roads in Oliver
and Mclean counties.
Instead of constructing a road
south from Stanton this year, as had
been intended, the state
highway department will construct
road Of equal length west from Hazen.
The change was made at the request
Of the Mercer commissioners.

SIGNING PAYROLLS
IS UNDER new Law
FOR HIGHWAY FORCE
Each Employees Time Must Be
Made Out in Detail, Show
ing Work and Absence

Signing the payroll will be more of
an important process in the state
highway department in the immediate
future.
Efforts are being made to put into
effect at once the provisions of a bill
passed by the recent legislative ses-
sion. It tells the highway depart
ment how to keep its books with re-
gard to paying its road employees and
making payments to contractors for
work done on the roads. Since the
bill carried an emergency clause and
became effective as soon as it was
signed by the governor, the change is
being made as rapidly as possible.
The law requires that the records
show the number of days worked by
each employc and the task at which
he was engaged. Absences from duty
also must be noted on permanent
record. Heretofore the highway de-
partment has kept no record Of this
nature.
Under the law, the payroll need not
be approved by the state auditing
board and this will speed up the work
of handling the payroll.
A more direct system of handling
estimates to contractors also is being
planned and these will not go to the
state auditing board, with the excep-
ton Nof the final estimate. Expense
accounts and bills for purchases by
the department will continue to be
checked by the auditing board.
The result Of the change, accord
ing to Secretary j. ]. Ermatinger, will
be to reduce by one half the work
which the highway department causes
the auditing board and to speed up
by as much as two weeks the handling
Of estimates presented for contractors.

Capitol SATURDAY
NO LONGER FOOLS
BUSINESS CALLERS
Visitors From Out OF Town Be.
fore Holiday Was Cut off
Often Inconvenience

Mournful sounds heard in the state
capitol building these days may be
one Of two things:
They may be made by the March
wind blowing around the corners of
the old structure or they may be the
means and lamentations Of capitol
employees who recently were ordered
to work on Saturday afternoons.
The order was issued by Governor
George -. Shafer after conference
with department heads. It wasn't ex-
pected to prove popular with the help
but 1t Is counted on to reduce COM
plants from visitors to Bismarck,
who, in the past, have been unable
to transact business with state de-
partments on Saturday afternoon.
In the past it has been customary
to close the capitol offices on Satur-
day afternoon during the summer
months. Then the rule was modified
to permit closing each Saturday after
noon.,
For obvious reasons, all capitol
offices remained open on Saturday
afternoons during the legislative SEES
CAVAAs AAAV AV6AcA0VAvC oCOo4OAA C1OOCQ al
the small hours Of Saturday morning
and the offices closed at noon that
day.
This gave Governor Shafer cause
for thought. It didn't look right to
him so he asked the department
heads what they thought about 1t.
The result was the order barring
closing at noon SATURDAY..
During his experience as Attorney
General, Shafer said, he sometimes
would be working on Saturday after
moons and would observe people seek
Ing to transact business with state
departments which were not open for
business. In some cases they lived
many miles from Bismarck. AS q
result, Shafer came to the conclusion
that IT was unfair to the visitors to
deny them an opportunity to do BUSH
ness with the state at their conven-
fence.
Anyhow" he told department
heads, "all Of us are working for the
people and 1t seems to me that those
who pay the bills are entitled to FIRST
confederation"
Working hours at the state capitol
are from 8 to IL and from 1::30 to S.
On Saturdays the closing hour is 4
p. M, making the working week OF
capitol employees 50 hours. Many OF
them, realizing that this is less than
Is required Of employees in private
business establishments, have not oh.
jected to the order. TO some. how.
ever. 1t came as something Of
shock.

Sudden comprehension Illuminated

make inquiries yourself? Mrs. Pellow,
the grand old dowager in charge Of
the cleaning women, must be in the
building now. She comes in about
two O'Clock, I think, and acts as a
sort of housekeeper for the building,
even before the cleaning women come
on. Let's have 60 at her, darling.

Ruth retorted. HE says Miss Man

mean exactly what you do. I'm
sorry, dear! I understand how you
feel, for I've been feeling like mali
cious meddling little beast myself,
ever since she told her whole, pitiful,
tragic story"
Don't feel too badly" Jack urged
tenderly, his hand closing over hers
tightly. "McMann would have got on
her trail within few hours anyhow,
since there must be any number of
people who knew Of her and Borden's
affair. !. But what did McMann
get out of the poor thing. with his
damnable third degree methodist"
Ruth neglected her soup and salad
to recount every detail Of Martha
Manning's story, in the order in which
McMann had extracted it.
I'D like to choke that bully!", Jack
interrupted fiercely. when Ruth told
him, with astonishing vividnesS, how

Ruth ''cut along" rapidly, describ-

flowing with the glad, happy state
ments of men and women who
found their first and only relief
through the use of this medicine Of
80 ingredients, % of which are the
juices from roots and herbs. Kon-
jola was not designed to give mere
temporary relief, but to bring new,
glorious and lasting health. All who
suffer and who would know of joys
of health again are urged to call
without delay, on the Konjola Man,
who Is at Hooks Dependable Drug
Store, Illinois and Washington
streets, this city There you will
hear of the amazing accomplish
ments of Konjola. The Konjola
Man will make you no promises or
claims, but will tell you the cold,
verified facts about Koniola. He
will show you case after case where
in this medicine proved the first
and only one that brought relief.
Take, for instance, the case Of Mrs.
G. K. Mattox and her daughter,
who live at 1851 u West Ray street,
this city. More remarkable is this
case because of the fact that Mrs.
Mattox's daughter had been given
up as hopeless and then, after TAX
ing Konjola, received 976 points in
a state baby contest. But read for
yourself what Mrs. Mattox said to
the Konjola Man few days ago:
"Konjola gave my baby glorious
health and benefited me, too. Ever
since the birth of my child I had
been in a sickly condition. was
weak and nervous; my kidneys and
liver we're disordered and food failed
to agree with me. The constant care
of my child Slapped my energy and
took all my vitality. When Betty Joe
was year old she only weighed
fifteen pounds and had hardly got
ten a fair start in life. I tried the
best medical care, but failed to get
any results. Many times I was told
that she could not live. Just when
I was worried the most and when
the future seemed darkest Konjola
was recommended.
1.-THE sincere Endorsements gave
me faith in this medicine and I de-
cided to try it first myself. Surpris-
ing as it may seem, this remedy
went right to work. The first or
second bottle made wonderful
change in me and I knew that, at
last, was on the road to health
and travelling fast. When I had
completed the full treatment was
a well and happy person. I have
gained back my strength and en-
ergy; my kidneys and liver function
perfectly and my food digests per-
fectly. Then I started Betty Joe on
this splendid medicine. From the
first half bottle she began to act
differently. She seemed to take a
new lease on life. Last fall at the
Indiana state fair I entered her in
the Better Baby contest and she re-
ceived 976 points, really remark
able achievement. Both of us owe
Konjola a great debt, debt that
words can never repay"
