pale, thin and sickly.

Would Open Although
nothing has been said of the project
of late the movement to open up Il
road south through the country from
Rock river bridge has not been aband-
oned. The enterprise is developing
into a more ambitious project than
at first anticipated and there will be
required a great effort on the part of
all to carry it out. Some of the own
ers are willing 10 donate their land
in order TO get the road opened up
and others have placed what seems
like unusually high valuation upon
their property, so that the right of
way now seems to be rather costly.
