Naming Of Trunk Highways
Causes Some Confusion
Collecting Money to Promote Any
Route Unnecessary, President
of Road Officials Says

Resolutions opposed to the add
ing of names to highways already
designated by U. s. numbers, and
the naming of proposed highways
following the same general lines
as designated highways, were
adopted by the recent meeting Of
the American Association of State
Highway Officials at Salt Lake City.
The resolution calls attention to
the fact that the u. s. numbered
routes cover practically all Of the J
main interstate highways In
manner that serves interestatetry
Ell satisfactorily. 1t also recites
many associations are being
ed, more or less selfishly, AZ
most cases for profit, ende
to promote other highways
signaling them by names, b.
highways crossing several state.
and following largely U. s. number
ed routes, and that none of these
proposed highways offers any help
to the tourist but only adds con-
fusion.

numbered routes made by the ex-
ecutive committee of the assocfa-
ton, but only when recommended

Competition Said
to Be Exaggerated
At Maximum On Highways Could
Handle Only Is Per Cent
of Freight

If all the highways now used by
trucks in competition with railroads
carried all the trucks that econom-
ically could be put on them, they
could handle only Is per cent of the
freight available in 1929, according
to w. r. Smith, president of the
American Road Builders associa-
ton. He bases his contention on
Interstate Commerce Commission
statements that the present high
way capacity for truck hauling is
only 100 billion ton-miles annually,
while the total freight moved in
1929 was $50 billion ton-miles.
But truck transport is not using
anywhere near the capacity Of the
highways, he continues, figures
showing that only per cent of
the available freight is handled by
trucks, electric railroads, and air
planes. The railroad handle 1853
per cent, pipe lines 40 per cent,
and inland waterways 1853 per cent.
"Only small part of the 100000
miles of highays handle trucks in
competition with railroads. 1T is
proable that competitive mileage
of roads not exceed 300, 1000; the 9TH
err 100000 serve as feeders to the
railroads"
With passenger traffic the reverse
is true. In 1929 there were 81 bill
lion passenger miles of travel on
the railroads while highway travel
was estimated at $50 billion pas
senger miles. The greater part Of
this, however, is new business, and
not business taken away from the
railroads.

Highways Gave
1924 Men Work
Season Maintains Labor
Level Almost to the Peak
sof the Season

Work on Minnesota state high
ways furnished employment to TO-
324 persons during October, accord
ing to figures given out by Commis-
sioner c. M. Babcock. OF these s.
620 were employed by contractors
and 4,704 by the state, compared
to 1905 employed by the state and
8,057 by contractors in September.
The figure on state employees in
cludes those given temporary en-
ployment with funds set aside for
emergency unemployment relief.
The depaEtrnent allotted $4,000 to
each of the sixteen maintenance
districts, and on Oct. 1 about 1000
men were given three weeks work
on special repair and cleanup work
for the maintenance division. When
they were through, second group
was given three weeks work. Only
men who had been out of work for
some time and were desperately in
need of funds to care for depend
ents, were employed, and the entire
fund went for wages.
The number employed by con-
tractors was decrease of 2,437
from the September figure. Nearly
all paving and bituminous work was
completed before Oct. 1, but grad
ing, graveling and shouldering con-
tinued through the month.

Washington, Nov. 25-The farm

American farmer-was unfolded to-

congress.
Given out through the senate ag-
ricultural committee which sum

described the spectacular operations
in wheat and cotton markets and
liberal loans to cooperatives-ob-

In it's wholesale price stabiliza-

Light Colored Clothing
Safest for Pedestrians
Almost Impossible for Autoists to
Soc Dark Colored Wearing
Apparel

Here is a safety hint for pedes-
TRANS that is worth repeating: 1t is
almost impossible for an automo-
bile driver to see dark clad peder-
trian, on dark road or pavement,
even under the most favorable cir
cumstances. People who must walk
along the highways, or cross streets
at night, should remember this.
Light colored garments are an eff
fective safety device for persons
who. must walk where automobiles
travel at night. If your clothes are
all dark, newspaper or a white
parcel may be life saver. But the
safest is to walk outside the path
of the automobiles. and to cross on
ly when no cars are approaching.
This warning is not intended to
excuse any carelessness on the part
of motorists, says Highway bulle-
tin. Every driver should be alert
every minute, and on the lookout
for people who may step into his
path. But even the most careful
driver cannot avoid accidents, I'M
less pedestrians will cooperate and
exercise caution. This is doubly
necessary at night.

Farm Home
DestroyedBy
Fire Sunday
House on Lewis Place, South
west of City, Was Com
munity Landmark
|. BERSCHEIT TENANT
Origin of Blaze Unknown
No One in the Building
at the Time

Sunday evening just after 500
o'clock the Sank Centre Volunteer
Fire Department answered an
alarm sent in from the Lewis farm
about 81 miles southwest of the
city.
Chief George Fish, Jesse Rose,
Ben Dubois, John Mondloch, Ed.
Minette, Fred Walker, Gus Otto
and Thomas Clough manned the
pumper truck and hurried to the
farm where the large house was
found to be on fire.
The farm is owned by Mrs.
Emma Van Dyke and Miss May
Lewis, of Long Prairie. 1t is occup-
led by John Berscheit and family.
The house was one Of the best in
that section. It was built many
years ago of native timber with
oak floors, bath room, furnace and
brick veneered. There were about
10 large rooms.
The only members of the family
at home when the fire broke out
were two of the boys. At the time
they were doing chores about the
barn.
The department soon had water
playing on the fire. They had the
blaze under control and would
have saved the house without SER
ious damage but the water supply
gave out.
Much of the household effects
and fruit in the basement was saw
ed.
The loss on the building is at
least $500. The owners carried
$1,000 insurance. Mr.. Berscheit's
loss will amount to 500. There is
some quest on as to whether or not
his insurance had lapsed. He
can ill afford the loss. 1t will be re-
called that Mrs. Berscheit passed
away several weeks ago. There are
six children in the family. Mr.. Ber-
scheit has taken up his rsidence in
house on Ash street between
Fifth and Sixth street.
Chief Fish stated to the Herald
editor Wednesday that he had
talked with the owners of the farm
and that they plan on rebuilding
the house at once.

Arterial Highway
List is Extended
stop" Signs Being Placed on New
Paved ROutes-Prevention of
Accidents Is Aim

Approximately 500 miles of trunk
highways either have been or will
be designated as thru" roads by
orders of Commissioner c. M. Bab-
cock. Work of putting up stop"
signs at entrances from side roads
and streets is under way. Highway
patrolmen and local police will Co
operate in enforcing the law re-
quiring all vehicles to stop before
entering or crossing such highways.
The roads now being designated
as thru" roads include nearly all
of the sections paved this year and
few others. Where there is a
short unpaved link between two
pavements, this is usually includ-
ed, so as to make continuous thru"
roads. With roads marked with stop
signs in former years, about 1000
miles will now be in the artcrial
highway list.
Marking any highway as thru"
road or arterial highway is intend
ed for the safety both of traffic
on that road and traffic entering or
crossing it. Drivers on such road
must maintain safe and reason
able speed, and exercise due eau
ton at all times. On the other
hand, drivers entering such road,
if they have an accident due to
failure to stop. forfeit their right to
collect damages.
In the last three months, high
way patrolmen made 900 arrests for
failure to stop at arterial highways.
Enforcement Of the stop" rule has
brought a marked decrease in ac-
cidents due to failure Of drivers to
stop
