column after an absence of four months, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Light receipts kept the trend upward at most points and with a 15 to 25 cent advance at Indianapolis, top on best 200-220 pound averages reached the $10 mark. The 15 cent gain applied to hogs above 160 pounds, lighterweights and pigs taking the quarter upturn after failing to share any of last week's improvement. Packing sows were -up fully 25

ing from $8.25 to $9, mostly good

side figure. All grades slaughter steers and heifers strong to 25 cents higher in an active trade, many sales the full

sold readily and strong with instances here also 25 cents higher, the advance mostly on inbetween grades of top cutters and lower grade beef cows. All in all it was one of the best seller markets since the advance in fat cattle price began around three to four weeks back. Killing quality of the steer crop ran to plain and medium grades from $7.25 to $8. A few loads good 1046 to 1150 pounders, $8.25 and odd head up to $9.50. Most heifers were

short lots and a load 600 pound weights, $8.15 and $8.25. Most beef cows were taken from $5.25 to $6.50, cutter grades, $4.25 to $5.20. Best. sausage bulls stopped at $6.75. Vealers were strong at $11.50 down. Demand far greater than the supply further boosted lamb values and 15.to 25 cents was added over Friday’s levels. Best finished western lambs and most of the choice natives sold at $9.50, with strictly choice natives upward to $9.75, the extreme peak. Other good to choice Westerns made $9.25 to $9.35. Best shorn lambs sold at $8.50. Fed yearlings at $6.00 were only plain offerings.

Radio Amateur Gets Citation For Flood Aid

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., March 7 (U. P). — John S. Duffy, Rock Springs amateur radio operator, has been awarded a “Public Service Certificate” by the American Radio Relay League for his aid during the Mississippi floods of last spring. Although he was 1000 miles from the seene, it was through Duffy’s diligence that the world knew of the plight of Hazen, Ark. cut off by high water. With highways and railways washed out and telephone and telegraph wires down, the only communication possible out of the town was by a short wave radio operated by a Hazen amateur. Duffy, listening intently .at his home station WT7DIE, heard the appeals from Hazen. Although he was staying off the air, as were other amateurs except those actively at work on the flood, Duffy contacted the Arkansas station. He told the Hazen operator he would attempt to reach a Little Rock station. He was able to do this and also to contact the army radio network control station at Ft. Omaha, Neb. These stations then tuned in on the Hazen operator and help was sent to the stranded town.

OVERSEA ROAD SOON TO LINK FLORIDA. KEYS

Key West and Mainland Will Be Joined by Concrete Ribbon.

KEY WEST, Fla, March 7 (U. P.).—A highway stretching through the picturesque Florida Keys, run-

ning out to sea and connecting this island city with the United States mainland, is nearing completion. Contractors announced the gigantic task of converting 40 miles of abandoned railroad viaducts and roadway into a modern highway would be: completed in March or early April. They expect to open the road to public use mmediately after it is finished.

Their final efforts are concen- |

trated on laying a roadbed over an 18-mile ferry gap, the final link in a highway made possible through a tragic hurricane and a $3,600,000 PWA loan.

It was the Labor Day hurricane.

of 1935, which destroyed the late Henry M. Flagler’s $25,000,000 railroad line to Key West and inter-

rupted rehabilitation efforts of the:

Federal Government here, that prompted the PWA loan to the overseas road and toll bridge district for construction of the highway. Rail Line Abandoned

The Interstate Commerce Commission: granted the Florida East Coast railroad permission to abandon the 40 miles of viaducts, bridges and right of way along which the hurricane had twisted rails beyond feasible repair. These were sold to the road and toll bridge district for ,000, The overseas. highway is laid over these former railroad bridges and keys roadway which spanned the water gaps between here and the Florida mainland and crossed theh tiny islands. x Where concrete arches ranging from 13 to 15 feet wide existed on the former railroad bridges, waterproofed, steel cross beams have been secured into slots in the walls. On these beams the concrete slabs for theh 20-foot roadway have been laid. An integral part of the overseas highway is the 40-mile stretch which formerly was traversed by ferry. The highway begins officially seven miles southeast of Florida City, southermost United States mainland city, where a two-mile bridge connects the mainland with

Key Largo.

Roads Built for 3 Years

Between 1923 and. 1926, 61 miles of highway were constructed through the keys and over short water gaps from Florida City to the ferry landing at Lower Matecumbe Key. The 40-mile link of highway now nearing completion would connect the “jumping off place’ ‘at’ lower Matecumbe with the ferry landing at Big Pine key. It requires less than an hour to drive the remaining 39 miles from Big Pine key to Key West.

The combined cost of the com-!

plete overseas highway computed

from 1923 to the present date, has i; been set at $7,400,000. . Engineers

point out that a saving of $7,000,000 was made possible through purchase

of the railroad right-of-way for :

$640,000. The completed highway may bring

to this island city of Key West a : boom which failed to materialize : when Flagler completed his railroad :

in 1912. Aat that time, the city was the third largest in population in the state and considered the

world’s leading cigar manufactur-

ing center.

In two decades, however, its pop- ;

ulation dropped from 30,000 to 8000.

Its cigar industry waned and ships |:

ceased to make the city a port of

In 1935, the Federal Government |: $1,000,000 rehabilitation |3

began a project here in an effort to transform the onetime industrial center into a resort city. The 1935 hurricane, which destroyed the railroad and severed the only convenient means of transportation between here and the mainland, apparently had doomed the city from regaining the prestige it once knew. The subsequent purchase of the railroad right-of-way, however has reopened the possibility of developing this “city in the sea” into the resort center envisioned by the Federal Government.
