FAST HIGHWAYS
To SPAN j. s.
PROPOSED

The creation Of a gigantic Fed
eral system of express highways,
costing five billions of dollars and
spanning the nation, has been
proposed to Congress by Repre-
sentative William P. Holiday (R.J
Of Illinois.
The plan is no mere dream,
Holiday declares. It merely rep
resents the ultimate in the ma
tion's remarkable development Of
motor transportation. he says.
'The proposed system was de
vised by Arthur Hall, the father
of Illinois great system Of hard
surfaced highways" said Holiday.
THE Federal-aid highway system
already has developed beyond all
dreams. A coordination and ex-
tension Of this system on a truly
national, instead Of State, basis,
Is now necessary.
Many members Of Congress
who have examined the plan have
expressed the conviction that
either 1t or a similar plan must
supplement the present system"
Such a development, he de-
clares, Is especially necessary in
providing the transcontinental
highways necessary to more
closely bind the great territory
of the Far West with the rest OF
the nation. Just as railroads
united the country, so highways
must bring the peoples and o'isl-
ness Of different sections into
closer contact, he says.

Investigation Proves
Kvale's Death Accidental
Overheated Stove Probably Caused
Fire While Congressman Was
Asleep

Fergus Falls, Sept. 12-Accident-
al death by burning will be the ver-
dict to be returned in the death of
Congressman o. J. Kvale of the
seventh district, whose body was
found today in the charred ruins
of his cabin on Otter Tail lake.
Coroner J. G. Virgen, of Otter
Tail county late today announced
that the circumstances of the death
point to accidental cause, doubtless
through the overheating of a
stove.
After the body had been taken
from the cottage ruins it was
brought to Battle Lake to await in
structions from relatives.
Coroner Vigen announced that
the body found in the ruins of the
house was beyond any possibility
of doubt that of Congressman
Kvale. Although the body was
burned so badly as to be unrecog-
nizable, positive Identification has
been made by gold filings in the
teeth, the coroner said.
A check of the congressman
movements Tuesday afternoon and
evening also is said to make it Ger.
tain that he was in the cottage
Tuesday night. His automobile
which he usually kept in the rear
of the cottage in detached ga
rage, was standing in front of the
house, not damaged although only
aboute ten feet away. 1t was learn.
ed also that Congressman Kvalt
failed to meet several persons with
whom he had appointments.

Gated at Sank Centre

Tuesday afternoon Alderman
Charles Gray, Frank Pangburn
and Dewey O'Gara, President of
the Community Club George Berg
green, and George Bergman drove
to st. Cloud to confer with the
Board of County commissioners
relative to the locating of a snow
pillow in Western Stesrns, prefer
ably Sank Centre, and other mat
tiers vitality affecting the city.
The commissioners received the
Sank Centre delegation most cour-
teously. 1t was learned that the
county would purchase at least
two more snow plows to be at
tached to five-ton four-whcel
trucks. The commissioners are
convinced that if these trucks if
gotten on the county roads immed-
lately following snow storm each
truck viii open many miles of
county highways every day. 1t is
understood it is the purpose of
the commissioners to use the plows
on all county and state aid high
ways in the county.
The trucks will be detached from
the snow plows in the summer time
and used for hauling gravel and
other highway construction.
It was the concensus of opinion
expressed by the commissioners
that Sank Centre would be the
natural location for the pillow for
Western Stearns.

Was "a Years old Passed
Away Sunday

Eden Valley committed suicide Sun
day by drinking paris green. She
drank the poison about two o'clock

day morning. She is survived by
her parents and several brothers
