It's here again, gone again, with
the Roosevelt highway. Last week
everything looked rosy; prospects
were bright, in fact "it was almost
assured” that the Roosevelt highway
would be made one of the primary
roads under the new federal - state
coperativs inter-state highway im­
provement plan, towards the mater­
ialization of which congress recently
appropriated f75,000.000. But when
the representatives of the Roosevelt
Highway Memorial association went
to Portland to meet with the state
highway commission they apparent­
ly ran up against the same old Ice
berg.
Instead, of releasing the $2,590,-
000 bonds voted for the coast road
qind matching It with funds received
from, the federal government to­
wards the construction ot that hlgh-
way the gentiment at Portland
seemed to be that the two and a
half million should be turned into
the general road fund and used £11
over the state wherever there Is a
shortage.
Of course the coast counties will
not sttyid for that. It looks like this
section will be called upon to do a
lot more scrapping before we get the
highway.—Coos Bay World.
It is understood that preliminary
work on the Manhattan-Brighton
road will soon begin.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS
One grand assault on the magni­
ficent digestion was expected during
the visit to that great Amerique.
Tree bien, and one had been in the
t'raing for the glorious eatings. But
pour l’amour de Mike, it Is les chev-
aux of other colors to train for the
unexpected company of a wild bob­
cat, is it not that it is?
Consequently the undomesticated
kitten presented Marshal Foch by
Montana members of the American
Legion now bays the moon in a cage
at the Bronx Zoo, New York, and Le
Marechai sleeps of night.
The untamed tabby, brought 1500
miles by airplane by Montana Leg­
ionnaires and given tire marshal at
Kansas City, rapidly changed into a
white elephant. The Foch party
carried it in a strongbox from tire
West and through several Eastern
cities, newspaper nren of the special
train standing guard. But when the
Foch special stopped in New York
for an hour e» route to Princeton
University and while the allied gen-
eralisslmo was still abed, the Mon­
tana mascot waB quietly transferred
onto a truck and hurried through
the early morning hours to the zoo­
logical gardens. The spirit of the
Montana Legionnaires and their
bobcat was highly appreciated, but
"Voila!” as the French said it.
