STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM PASSED

47 OF 49 ROUTES. COMPRISING ABOUT 3,200 MILES, IS APPROVED BY GOODRICH. In the official state highway system, designated Saturday by the State Highway Commission and approved by Governor Goodrich with two exceptions, there are forty-nine routes. L. H. Wright, director of the commission, estimates that the system finally approved will comprise approximately 3,200 miles. The Governor withheld approval on the road accepted connecting Madison with the system. He ap- 1 proved the Ken dalviHe-Fort Wayne road on the condition that Noble and Allen counties do not oppose the recommendation he intends making to the General Assembly that the portion of the Lincoln Highway in Noble and Allen Counties be excluded from the state system. Seta Forth Reservations. Governor Goodrich’s letter to the. commission sets forth reservations, as follows: ! “Route 40—I withhold approval of that part of this route extend- i ing from Madinon in Jefferson coun-, ty to Vevay in Switzerland county until the whole commission shall have again gone over the location of the highway connecting Madison with the state highway system. I understand that Route 39, which has been omitted from the report, will later be examined and passed upon by the commission and a supplemental report filed. “Route 47—1 approve this route with the understanding that I shall recommend to the ‘General Assembly at its next session the elimination from the highway system of that part of * the Lincoln Highway extending from Fort Wayne in Al-

len county to Ligonier in Noble I county. This route was established Lby £he first Highway Commission and confirmed by the last General Assembly'. The first commission €aid little attention to county seats, ut simply established a few main I trunk lines extending across the state. Under the present law, it is ' necessary to reach all county seats and all cities of over 5,000 population. If this provision of the law is carried out and the Lincoln Highway is established by the last General Assembly is to stand, it locates more mileage in Noble county than any other county in the state —and yet this county ranks forty-second among the counties of the state in the amount of taxes paid. My approval, therefore, of Route 47 is conditioned upon the understanding that the authorities of Allen and Noble counties will not oppose the change in the route of the Lincoln Highway when the General Assembly convenes. ’ / _ “I am advised J>y Louis H. Wright, highway director, that Route 44, known as the Yellowstone Trail, extending from Warsaw west, Route 39 from Brookville, extending through Rushville to Indianapolis, and Route 45 will be, at an early date, re-examined by the full commission and the question of the establishment of these roads definitely determined.” The route designated through here is known as the Remington to Gary route and is No. 8, and is as follows: Beginning at, Remington, on Route 7, running thence in a northerly direction through Rensselaer to within two miles of Hebron, thence west through Crown Point to Gary.

WORST STORM IN APRIL HISTORY

COUNTRY SNOW-BOUND BY EASTER STORM—MILADY’S FINERY ON SHELF. April 4, 1920, will go down as being the anniversary of the worst snow storm iff the history of the month of April. A blizzard, starting late Saturday afternoon and lasting throughout the greater part of Easter Sunday, tied up traffic throughout the middle west, impairing telegraph, telephone and railroad service, and tied Up the country generally. Industry was crippled and traffic blocked. Snow, falling to the depth of from ten to twelve inches, established a record unparalleled for the month within the memories of the present generation. The worst April snow storm prior to the present one was that of April 4, 1875, forty-five years ago, and is recalled by many of ’ our older citizens. Since that time there has been nothing to approach the present storm. Rensselaer and the remainder of the middle west held no Easter Board Walk Revue. Milady’s finery remaaned .on the shelf as the greatter portion of the citizenry hovered about their fires. _ Accompanying the storm was a big drop in the temperature and a great deal of suffering is reported from all middle western states: The outlying districts are segregated by the giant snow drifts which have attained a depth of several 'feet. A great deal of suffering is ; reported among the livestock. The storm originated in Texas Saturday and moved steadily northward through Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas, reaching as far north as.'Chicago and as far west as Nebraska. Latest reports indicate that the storm is moving eastward. The weather forecasters predict a rise in the temperature but the melting of the snow may send many streams out of their banks. A freezing temperature is reported as far south as northern A rka nsas. Between Rensselaer and Pleasant Ridge the drifts are so bad that many who were traveling in automobiles were forced to abandon them. . The same condition prevails in many other parts of the county, and farmers for the most part are engaged in the clearing of the roads. Train service has been badly crippled and has been running hours late. However, the railroad officials predict that the service will sooh be normal. '

CONRAD KELLNER RETIRES FROM BUSINESS

Conrad Kellner, one of Rensselaer’s best business hustlers, has retired from the firm of Kellner & Callahan, and his interests have been taken over lby Thomas Callahan, who will continue the business. Mr. Kellner purchased the interest of Judson E. Maines in the implement and coal business in August, 1911, z and with L. H. Hamilton, conducted the same-until December, 1916, when the latter sold his interest to Thomas Callahan. Since that time the firm of Kellner & Callahan have had a remarkable business. They have built up one ofthe largest and best businesses in the city and have erected a fine large building on their lots on Cornelia street, and have purchased the Grant-Warner coal bins on the Monon right-of-way.

HOOVER ON BOTH TICKETS

PECULIAR SITUATION CONFRONTS VOTERS IN MICHIGAN PRIMARIES. Detroit, April 4.—With practically the whole of Michigan in the grip of a mid-winter snowstorm on the eve of the presidential primaries campaign managers of leading candidates tonight alternately discussed the not altogether promising election weather, and predicted victory for their candidates. The vigorous campaigns which have marked the last few weeks, however, were conducted principally in the industrial centers of the lower peninsula and it was generally believed the wintry weather would have little effect on the heavy voting in prospect. In moet of the larger cities hotly contested municipal issues were counted on to bring in a heavy ballot. Seven republicans, five democrats and one socialist are seeking the state’s indorsement for presidential nomination. Chief interest, however, seemed to center in the race between Governor Frank O. Lbwden, of Illinois, Major General Leonard Wood and Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, all of whom made extensive campaigns touring the state. Other republicans on the ticket were General Pershing, Senator Poindexter of Washington and William G. Simpson, .of Detroit; Herbert Hoover’s name appears on both the republican and democratic tickets. The only democratic candidate to conduct an active campaign was Attorney General Palmer. That ticket also bears the names of W. J. Bryan, William G. McAdoo and Governor Edwards of New Jersey.

DON’T FORGET THE BIRDS; THROW OUT YOUR CRUMBS

Among the wont sufferer* from the snow storm are our friends from birdland who are back front the southland to spend the -summer in the north. Unfitted as they are for the rigors of a northern winter, their suffering is great and they will die by the hundred* unless we take care of them. There is nothing for them to feed upon, and it is up to us all to supply them with. food if they are to survive until the snow has passed away. Do your part by supplying them with the crumbs from your table.

JUDSON MAINES SERIOUSLY ILL

Miss Eva Maines received a telegram Saturday from Mrs. Judson Maines from Cuba, N. Y., announcing the very serious illness of her husband, Judson Maines. Mr. Maines is in the Higgins hospital in Olean, N. Y., and has appendicitis. Judson’s mother, Mrs. Susie Maines, and his sister, Eva, left for New York Saturday.

LED TO THE SLAUGHTER

The following account of the nomination of Thomas Taggart is taken from the National Republican: “Thomas Taggart, former senator and ex-chairman of the Democratic national committee, will be the sacrificial offering of the Indiana Democrats as candidate for United States Senator against James E. Watson this year. Mr. Taggart is an unwilling victim, having privately con-' fessed to friends that the race is a forlorn hope, and also being out of harmony with the national administration on the chief issues of the campaign—the Wilson league of nations was finally persuaded by a conference of Indiana Democrats that it was his duty to accept the candidacy which has been offered without avail to several Indiana Democrats of prominence. In view of the fact tint Taggart was defeated by Watson in 1916, with the Democratic drift of the last Wilson campaign in progress, his acceptance of the Democratic resignation this year amounts to heroism.”
