He rifled the cash regis- ters in the store, obtained about $10, including’ $2 in pennies, and carried away fountain pens and pencils. So far as can be ascertained nothing else of value was disturbed, although ap- parently the candy case had been ‘tampered with, The hatchway on top of the. building was open, indicating the burglar had attempted but failed ta gain entrance in that manner.

Their tone indicates that Senator McCumber will have strong editorial support in the press of the tate in his campaign for ithe Republican nomination in June.

This newspaper says: “By no stretch of optimism howev- er, can lit be said that the results of the senatorial ‘isque before the In- dependent.

ROAD BUILDING LESS; COSTS ARE ALSO CUT LOW Highway Commission Estimates «Are That $3,000,000 Work Will Be Done t FEDERAL AID AVAILABLE A decrease in the amount of road building in the state this year be- causa of the general tendency toward economy is probable, according to en- gineers \of the state highway com- mission.'At the same time, with prices of road building reduced materially, it is probable that $3,000,000 will be spent in the state on federal aid high- way projects. The amount of road work planned in the state has been reduced by the state officials. It, is estimated that there will be about $1,000,000 expended year: and about $2,000,000 spent on new ‘projects. The program for the year represents about a 25 per cent reduction from the program as was embodied" in the requests submitted’ }for federal aid during the winter. Contracts let thus far this year show a material decline in prices. The prices are about 50 per cent less than the peak of last year’s prices and about 25 per cent less than last year’s average prices according to ‘H.: K. Craig, of the state highway commis- sion office. (Contracts! fet ‘include 15.6 miles of gravel surfacing in Pierco county for $29,577.00; four miles of gravel surfacing in Eddy county for $4,342.90; 14.9 miles of gravel sur- facing in Walsh county for $30,105.00. Not all of the federal aid money availablo will be used in North Da- kota this year. There is available $2,- 350,000 from the 1916, 1919 and 1921 federal appropriations and it is ex- pected there will be about $775,000 made available by a 1922 appropria- tion by Congress. The state has avail- able for engineering purposes $287,- 971.69 and it is expected the total amount available for the highway commission this year will be $340,000. Counties in the state have levied taxes to provide about $1,300,000 for road construction, according to re- ports to the highway commission. The state money available for engineer- ing services is not sufficient ‘to pro-| vide for all-requests for road con- struction that have been made, it is said. The state administration’s insist- ence upon economy in both state and county government has resulted in the abandonment of plans for considerable work, it is said by contractors.
