a local hospital as the result Of burns
received when her clothing caught
fire while playing with matches at
her home Tuesday afternoon.
Alone in al upstairs room, the
child's dress became ignited when
she attempted to light a candle. Mar
jorie Nan Simmons, who was staving
with the three Lee children while
Mrs. Lee was away, ran upstairs
when she heard the girl cream and
found the child envaloped in flames.
Miss Simmons attempted to beat out
the flames with her hands, but was
unsuccessful. George Mclaughlin,
who was passing by the Lee home.
answered the Simmons girls call for
help and smothered the flames by
throwing his overcoat about the burn

The child lived about five hours

Urges County Bonds

Can it be done? Certainly. Bonds
can be issued under the county bond
ing act, by q vote Of the people. II
the present legislature will pass q
state refunding act, pass an addition
al one cent gas tax act, place the rev.
enue from the additional one cent
gas tax in the state refunding fund
to be used In the paying Of the inter-
est on bonds and for retiring the
same. The counties Of Cass, Barnes,
Richland, Trail and Grand Forks
would soon vote bonds and the ad-
joining counties o would follow
suit If 1t was handled under this
proposition.
This also would place the state In a
position to take on all Of the federal
aid offered, which must by all means
be taken care Of.
The Shafer adherents boast Of
their control Of both houses
Of the legislature and that peace
and harmony prevails. Let them
show their interest in North
Dakota and the road program by
passing some real constructive legis-
lation. We cannot duplicate Minne-
sofas program OF about 500 miles per
year. nor Iowa's program of more
than 1000 miles, but we can start
with a program of from 40 to so miles
and increase it as the years go by.
There is much more that can be
and should be said Of the North Da-
kota road program and their highway
and articles on the same
will follow from time to time.

The theory that prohibition senti-
ment is stronger in rural districts
and small cities than in the big met
ropolitan centers is apparently borne
out BY the poll.
Smaller Papers Dry
The 389 newspapers which uphold
prohibition have a total daily circu-
lation Of 3,932,O4l.
The 345 newspapers which demand
complete repeal have a total daily
circulation of 12,52O,9ll.

have a total circulation of sic. 4O4.
In studying the figures obtained in
This poll, and in attempting to draw
conclusions from them, the discrep-
ancy between these two figures must
be kept in mind; for II one assays the
results solely on the basis of the total
newspaper circulation involved, one
will reach entirely different conclu-
sions than will be obtained by US
ing solely the number Of papers
listed.
For example, If one feels that the
size Of the group reached by the
newspapers is the important thing,
one would write down such a state as
Pennsylvania as wet-for the wet
newspapers in that state show 931 ,698
while the dry papers show
only 616.652. But If one feels that
the number of newspapers listed is a
gauge, one must put Pennsyl-
vania down as dry-for the state has
IS dry newspapers and only 20 wet
ones.
Consequently, 1t is an open ques-
ton whether any hard-an fast con-

omy Demands Paving" was submitted
to The Tribune by I. j.. Moe OF VALLEY
City, state highway commissioner. I
is printed in full.
BY L. j. MOE
In the November issue Of the
North Dakota Highway Bulletin w
find the following in an article writ.
ten by H. c. Frahm, chief engineer
and secretary of the North Dakota
Highway department, the same also
appearing in many of the papers OF
the state.
First. Beyond a traffic Of 1000
vehicles a day we have only the high
way between Fargo and Mapleton to
be considered, and here in 1929 we
had an average of nearly 1000,
though slightly less in 1880. This re-
quires paving Immediately" That
is a plain statement anyone can un-
derstand.
Next we read. Nov the argument
has been advanced that paving gen.
orally will reduce the maintenance
costs and be a saving financially. This
it will not accomplish. Paving re-
quires maintenance. There is the
joint filling, roadside maintenance
structures, snow removal, ETC., on
which other states having consider
able paving are spending approx
mately as much as we are on the
gravel maintenance = slightly under
5000 per mile per year."
That also is a plain statement and
anyone should be able to read and
understand 1t. These statements are
made by the chief engineer and sec
rotary OF the North Dakota Highway
department and people of the state
reading the same will say. we'll. the
chief engineer and secretary Of the
highway department says SO. It must
be SO. He should know.
Reviews Frahm Statement
I admit he should know, but let us
see. Let me call your attention again
to part of his statement. He says.
Now the argument has been ad-
vanced that paving generally. will re-
duce the maintenance costs and be a
saving financially. This it will not
accomplish" This is plain, is it not?
In the same paragraph we read.
Other states having considerable
paving are spending approximately
al much as W. are on the gravel
maintenance-slightly under $500 per
mile per year." Now that also is plain,
is it not?
Any taxpayer in North Dakota
reading his article will believe that
Guy maintenance cost of the gravel
road between Fargo and Mapleton is
slightly under $500 per mile per year.
1t was the gravel road between Fargo
and Mapleton he was referring to
he wrote, This requires paving
immediately y
First. I wish to make the statement
that any road not costing over $500
per mile per year to maintain does
not need paving and it would be false
economy to do so. Let us see what
the true facts are about the Fargo to
Mapleton road and see what the ac-
tual costs of maintenance are.
I agree with Mr.. Frahm that this

mission and 1t shows the cost o,
maintaining No. 10 from Fargo to the
Barnes county line the sum Of
S1.182.58 per mile per year. That was
for the year 1927. This was not sub
divided into sections so I can not give
you the cost for the Fargo-Mapletou
piece for that year. However, YOU
will note that 81, 1882. SO is nearly four
per cent interest on $4,000 the ap-
proximate cost of paving. That was
for the year 1927.
Cites 1929 Costs
Now let us see what the figures
show relative to costs Of maintenance
during the year 1929. The figures as
herewith submitted have been fur
nished me, part of them from the
main maintenance office at Bismarck.
part Of them from the division office
at Valley City and part of them from
the division maintenance office at
Fargo.
From H. E. Fowler, assistant main
tenance engineer, of the central Of
flee at Bismarck, I received the fol-
lowing statement relative to the costs
of maintaining U. s. Highway No. 10
Cass county. This statement covers
routine maintenance items.
Repair and replacement, this in
Guiding reshaping, guard rail and
bituminous surface, but does not in
clude any regraveling. It also in
cludes betterments, which includes
structures and snow fences. Last it
includes prorated items, so that the
entire cost of maintenance is included
and his statement shown for the year
1929, for No. 10 through Cass county,
costs per mile of $816.2l.
This is cost for routine maintenance
only and does not include any re-
grading or r%egraveling.
When this was given to me, MI.
Fowler was unable to give the 1880
costs Of same work which we will pre-
sumo, for the sake of argument, is the
same, even though it probably Is
higher. Therefore we will
take the average cost of routine main
tenance for 1880 to be $S16.21 per
mile.
Adds Other Costs
To the IL miles under discussion
must now add the cost of regrav-
cling, oiling, etc., which was neces-
sary in 1880 in order to keep the road
passable shape. These figures
were furnished by D. G. Hollipeter,
division superintendent Of mainten-
ance of the Fargo division, who has
had personal supervision Of the road
from Fargo to Mapleton. His report

Sully's Park as Game
Reserve Okay to House

Washington, Jan. 15.-PD-The
Hall bill to transfer jurisdiction over
Sully's Hill national park, in North
Dakota, from the interior to the agri-
culture department to be maintained
as a big game preserve was passed
Wednesday by the house and sent to
the senate.
The area of 780 acres is near Devils
Lake and will be known as the Sully's
Hill national game preserve.
The secretary of agriculture would
be authorized to acquire 5000 addi-
tional acres at a cost not exceeding
an average of $40 an acre. The pur-
chase of the land is to be made after
July l, 1882.
