electric plants hastily assembled
from Civilian Conservation Corps
Camps in many states.
The Public Roads Administra-
ton, constituent of the Federal
Works Agency, began assembling
the big civilian force, quietly, on
March 6, when it was requested
by the War Department to cooper
ate in the location and construc-
ton of a permanent, modern road.
Under the plan agreed upon, the
War Department undertook con-
struction of a truck-trail road fol-
lowing as closely as practicable
the route selected for the perman-
ent road after reconnaissance sur
veys.
Launching of such a large pro-
ject and completing the m any
steps preliminary to construction
required an about effort on the
part of public roads engineers. A
headquarters office for the project
was established at Seattle, Wash
ington, land field offices were To-
Gated at several points along the
route. A force of 500 engineers
and engineering aids was rushed
into the field to make surveys and
supervise the work of contractors.
For quick enlargement of the
supervisory staff, contracts were
negotiated with four well-known
engineering firms to act as project
managers. These firms were c. F.
Lyle Company and Green Con-
struction Company (organized as
a single firm of Sioux City, Iowa;
Dowell Construction Company of
Seattle, Washington; R. Melville
Smith Company of Toronto, Can
ada, and Okes Construction Com
pany of st. Paul, Minnesota.
E. w. Elliott of Seattle, Wash
ington, took a contract for move
ment of all equipment and the
erection of shops, warehouse and
other buildings.

Present Council Has Last Meeting

ubO4S S0
 The last council meeting be- fore election was held Monday st the City Hall. with Council men William Smith, Ben ShoIl, James Pierce, Edna Kraft and Charles Hopp present. Hopp acted as mayor pro tenn in the absence of Mayor Nick Miell.
 As the result of a brush fire on Mission road last week. the question of sending the city fire trucks outside the city limits came up. It was decided as a matter of safety to allow only enc fire truck to leave the city limits at a time, except in un- usual cases Tn discussing a charge for the service the council expressed 8 desire to have, from the residents on Mission outside the limits an opinion as to whether they would want to be taken into the city and thus re- ceive added fire and police pro- lection. The council felt that the residents would be more than repaid for the amount of their taxes in fire protection alone. The amount of a charge vas postponed awaiting word from the residents but the eoun- ell felt the fee would have to be set high enough to cover most of the cost of such fire calls The city now pays each fireman $5 for each "wet" call.
 The council voted to declare the office of CounciImen Ray Martin, now absent, as vacant, toallow the voters to elect an additional councilman to fill the post. As the result of the action voters will be allowed to vote for 4 councilmen; one for a l. year term, 5 for 2-vear terms.
 A letter was read from w. w. Council, Territorial Department of Health, asking for an increase in the present $500 the city pays the public health nurse to sum of S160O for the year starting July. The increase was said needed because of addition al war needs. The letter was tabled until the next meeting.
 A discussion was held on freight and wharfage rates and practices, and the City Clerk was instructed to ask P. w.. Watklnson, of the W. J. Erskine t Co to meet with them on the subject at the second meeting in April.
 The council accepted the au- dit made by Marshall CIutcher, accountant, of the city magis- sate's office.
 A number of new taxi licenses were presented but all were postponed to the next meeting.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Last time we were speaking Of
cumulo-nimbus clouds. Such clouds
send down hail as well as rain.
Inside this kind of cloud there are
strong currents of air. The cur
rents are winds" which travel in
many directions. Some rush side
wise, others upward or downward.
An upward wind In the cloud may
make speed Of from IS TO 100
miles an hour
The upward winds bring about
hail. Raindrops on the way to the
ground are caught and tossed high
into the air.
II the cloud is miles thick, tn.
temperature is very different at cr.e
top than at the bottom. Let US say
that the base of q certain cloud
has temperature Of IS degrees
above zero Fahrenheit.
An upward air current may take
rain from that cloud up for a dis
tance Of 2 miles. At that height the
temperature is below the freezing
point.
After rising into very cold air ths
the raindrops are frozen They are

now solid bits of ice and start fall
Ing to the ground in the form of
small pieces of hail.
1t may pe that the wtsds in q
cumulo-nimbus cloud will not let the
frozen raindrops fall clear to the
ground. The bits of Ice may be
caught by another upward blast Of
air. Once more thay are carried to
the top of the cloud.
When the hail is going upward it
gets water from the cloud, and the
water Is frozen when height Of 2
miles is reached. This adds "lay-
er" to each hailstone, making II
larger.
Again and again that sort O.
thing may happen. A frozen rain
drop may make half a dozen trips
or more, downward and upward,
through the cloud. Sooner or later
1t does come to the ground, but by
this time 1t may be the size of q
hens egg or even larger.
Three years ago measured hail

Dallas. Tex, does not enjoy a great
deal of snow in winter, but in 1926

body of the bird. That 1t appears
to be very heavy, though In fact it
Is extremely light. 1t is paper thin
and filled with light, cellular. bony
tissue. The bill is colorful mem
Der. The crissum is crimson, the
bill proper bright orange, and
there is a black area at the base
OF the upper mandible. The tongue
Is unusual, too. consisting of a mar
row fiat plate of from to 6 inches
with notched margins.
At first it was believed the toucan
had to toss his food into the air,
letting it fall with force into the
waiting cavern" below. However,
all he does Is to open wide" and
let his food roll down his throat.
Fruit Is the main diet when the
bird Is on his own. In captivity,
anything is acceptable.
Toucans have brilliant plumage

feathers Of the body, the bright
splashes Of orange, red, white and
SAoC oAioW up CAcCJltely.
Toucans have funny little ouirk
OF jerking their tail, laying it fat
upon the back. This is made
possible because the tail bones are
articulated by regular ball-and-
socket joining. The great bill is
tucked under the short feathers of
the shoulders and wings. This
preparation for a nap is apparently
to make the sleeper as inconspicuous
as possible.
There IL strain Of humor in
these birds. Flying together through
the forest, they delight in teasing
the sleepy -head owls and other birds
of prey. With terribly loud cries
and threatening behavior they
awaken these neighbors. They never
harm them. though no doubt their
bills do appear quite menacing.
Little has been established about
the courtship and domestic affairs
OF these birds. They deposit their
handsome pure-white eggs in hol-
low tree. Whether father assists in
the brooding is not known.
Toucans limit themselves to the
New World. They are fairly well
distributed over the wooded dis
tricts from Southern Mexico to
Northern Argentina. They are never
seen in the Antilles. or on the west
ern slope of South America south Oh
the Gulf of Guyaquil or in any
part of the Patagonian region. The
species is very abundant in the
great forests of Aamazonia. There
are five genera and 50 species.
r. TOGO is the most widely dis
tributed and best known. His range

Is from Southern Mexico to North-
ern Argentina. His costume is
black. Decorations Of yellow are
on the rump. throat and foreneck.
This color is edged with red. How
ever, tousans are never mistaken
for any other bird and they are
nearly always in fiocks. They post

SULPHUR-BREASTED TOUCAN
(Rdmphastos toco).
Bills OF birds often give q clue
to the way the owner obtains a liv-
ing. Some bills, like those of wood
peckers, are for drilling; the wood
cocks for probing, and the hawks
and owls for tearing flesh. These
signs fail as far as the toucan is
concerned. 1t would seem this great
bill of his is a liability rather than
an asset
