Secretary Ickes, public works adj
ministrator announces that projects
have been approved by his department
| totaling in cost half of the sum APP
propriated by congress for such pur-
pose That means that s1,653 ,591 ,410 has
been allotted for construction projects
over the nation.
The secretary has been severely crit
icized of late for the slowness WITH
which this money is being distributed
and work started, work that is badly
needed for relief purposes. Some have
argued that safety regulations ought tc
be overlooked and that this huge sum
Of over three billion dollars ought tx
be thrown open for quick spending
Secretary Ickes says that will never
be done under his administration. Some
unnecessary red tape may be cut, hi
says, in order to speed up construction
but he will never give his approva
to practice that might result in I'M
I told grating and scandal
Secretary Ickes takes the proper
stand Speed up the spending of thi.
money by all means Cut red tape
wherever possible. But do not do it tt
such an extent that it will let tht
CRATER get in his unholy work.
1t begins to look as though the Ions
held hopes of Lincoln county for more
modern highways are about to ma
terialize The news of the past week OF
two has been most encouraging, It now
looks as though disagreements among
the higher ups that have held bach
construction have been settled and tina
other difficulties have been largely
overcome This week two highway en-
gineers were in Libby to look ovei
the Kootenai Falls project and announc-
ed crew of engineers would star
surveying the high line location or
October 10. On Monday another crew
of engineers started surveying route
between the Elk Hill project and Nc
Gregor lake on the Libby Kalispel
highway The money is available anc
work on the Yak hill project ought
to start relatively soon. Construction or
the Kootenai Falls unit ought also tc
be under way before too many moons
pass away.
To the men Of Lincoln county who
have labored long and faithfully to-
ward this end, its promised attainment
must come with much satisfaction.

VETS WIN FROM ELKS IN EXTRA
 INNING BATTLE
Bills Toss Away Game in Sixth and Eighth After
 Cinching 1t in Fifth

After the Elks had apparently sewed up the game last night by scoring three runs in the fourth on four hits and a hit batter, and Jernbsrg's homer in the fifth for a fourth tally, they blew up in the sixth and permitted the Vets to tie the score, and the latter nosed out in the eighth by scoring the fifth and winning run on an error, two outs and a two-baser.
 Worth's big bat drove in two runs in the sixth and the winning score in the eighth. The Vets manager hit a two-bagger in the sixth and another in the eighth.
 Nello Is Victim
 Nello hurled a fine game and with gilt-edged support would have won easily. The Bills made seven errors behind him and a misjudged fly in right by Hermsen in the sixth started the balloon ascen- sion.
 Manning, on the contrary, had almost perfect support. A bobbls by Stedman in the sixth was the only error charged against the ex- Soldiers and it didn't cast any, thing,
 Nello held the Vets to seven hits, one of them a scratch, and famed six hatters. He walked two men, one in the fatal sixth. Manning was nicked for eight safeties in- cluding couple of doubles by Big and Jernberg's homer.
 How It Happened
 The Bills grabbed of fthree runs in the fourth by clean hitting With one away, Big Mac slashed out a double to left center. Little Mac was hit by a pitched ball. Garn singled sharply to left center, Big Mac scoring and Molly taking third. Garn went to second on the throw-in. Erskine singled to right center, scoring Little Mac and Abby. Nello laid down a per feet bunt advancing Claud to sec ond Andrews grabbed Blake's grounder and stepped on first for the third out.
 Jernberg smacked the first ball Manning pitched in the fifth over a garage back of left for the circuit for the Bills fourth and last run. After that Manning was never in danger.
 Tie in Sixth
 The Vets took advantage of er- TOTS in the sixth, mixing three hits with as many errors and base on balls to shove four runners across the rubber. Boyd opened with a pop fly to right which Hermsen and it fell for single. Andrews shot single past sec end. Erskine let the ball trickle between his legs and Boyd raced llCIIl1 HUH llloO 1llIdlNWo SOAAiS bO second McCloskey walked. Both runners advanced when Nello threw out Junge at first.
 Roller famed for the second out and the Elks' supporters breathed easier. But their relief was perma- ture. With the count three and two, Worth slammed out line drive to right center for two bases scoring Andrews and McCloskey. Manning shot hot grounder at short which Big Mac missed en- tirely. A second error was scored on the same ball when Erskine let the ball get past him, too, and Worth came home with the tying run.
 The Elks failed to see first in the seventh. The Vets had one on in their half of that frame but a fast double killed him off. In the eighth, Big Mac poled out his second double and died there with the next three easy outs. Little Macs fly was speared by Worth in right. Garn famed and Erskine

ESTATE TAX IN
GENERAL FUND
House by Party Vote Passes
Bill to Divert S1,SOO,OOO
From Sinking Fund
OPPOSE

After considerable discussion and
by strict party vote of 10 to 10,
the House Thursday afternoon
passed Representative Prices bill
to transfer practically all the
money in the State sinking fund to
the general fund. Why a party is
sue should have been made of this
bill no one explained. This bill
would carry out the suggestions
made by P. S. DUPONT, State tax
collector, in an address before the
House Wednesday afternoon to the
effect that the budget for the next
two years could be balanced by
transferring 100000 of funds
from the sinking fund to the gem
eral fund. Under the Price bill all
of the money now in the sinking
fund except $72,625, would be
transferred to the general fund
which it is said would be about
81 $4,000. Charles L. Terry, Jr..
a House attorney who was called
on to explain the bill, said the pur-
pose was to balance the budget.
Mr.. VanSciver, the minority floor
leader, in opposing the bill con-
tended that it would eventually re-
suit in depicting the general fund.
He argued that there is now out
standing S3.000,OOO. of State high
way bonds and S7,O0O,OOO county
highway bonds. He pointed out
that the sinking fund had been
used to lift these bonds as they fall
due. He said if the money is put
in the general fund it is a well
known fact that it soon goes with
attacks on that fund from all de-
partments. He also argued that
this change would be sure to even
tually lead to an increase in the
tax rate on real estate in the coun-
ties, something tht everyone is try
ing to avoid Mr.. Price argued
that the transfer would not make
a hardship on anyone and that it
would not result in tax increase.
Mr.. VanSciver stated that under
the law relative to the estate tax
it provides for money to be paid
into the State treasury for the use
of the State and that gives the
State treasurer the right to divert
into any fund he so desires; that
in the past it has been put in the !
fund which made it posi-
BILE to take up millions of road +
bonds, reducing the expenses of
the State. Mr.. Rees argued for
the bill while Mr. Simon opposed it.

GASOLINE TAX FOR MARCH
Shows Increase Over the Previous
Month in Delaware

Delaware's gasoline tax showed
a huge increase for the month of
March and created a mild surprise
in some official State circles. While
the total for February was almost
one-third less than the same month
of last year, the total for March
had an increase of almost one-four-
tn over the same period last year.
The total for March was $85, 49,
33, while the receipts for March of
last year was S69,762,67, making
an increase of S16,016.66. The
gasoline tax for the present fiscal
year is SIT, ,1O6.36 less or about two
per cent less than it was during
the corresponding period of the
preceding fiscal year. The collec-
tions for the present fiscal year to-
tai $816,498.88 and the collections
for the same period of the last
fiscal year were 1888, ,6O5.24.
