treasures, and had direct charge OF
| the work.
The county money was turned
over to the town upon satisfactory
completion of the road Under this
law the special tax raised is paid over
to the county treasurer and the coun-
ty highway commissioner has charge
of the work. The towns will petition
| for aid through their board of super
Visors exactly as heretofore.
1t will be appreciated that these
laws make important changes in the
present system for the permanent i'm
provement of the roads of the state.
Success depends upon the care with
which the boards select highway
commissioners The county highway
commissioners will have direct charge
of the expenditure of county and
towns funds, the amount of which you
can readily compute. The rate of
the county tax is not less than one
fourth or more than two mills, and
the town tax will be IN addition from
one-fourth to two and Gne-half mills.
From the above statements it is
evident that the office Of highway
commissioner will be one of the most
important in the county. If the pro-
per men are selected they will spend
these large sums with efficiency, and
also exert great influence on road
building in the county, outside Of
their jurisdiction. Consequently 1t
will be wise thing first to select
man capable of doing this work,
ana then offer him salary enough
to get HIM. An incapable or mex
perienced man can easily waste mere
money than the salary CT good man
would amount to.
The county board is given power In
ection 1871 q 2, page 2, to purchase
such modern road building machIn cry,
quarries, gravel pits, ETC., as are
needed. L the State Geological Sur
vey with it's experience and training
IN such matters can be of any assis-
lance to you or to the man whom you
elect as your highway commissioner
we Will be glad to visit quarrIes and
gravel pits and determine the suit
ability of the rock or gravel for
road materia'. We will also, when
desired, give all assistance possible
in selecting road machinery neces-
sary to build roads in the cheapest
and best manner.
Trusting that this Information
may be of use to you, | am,
Very respectfully yours,
w. o. HOTCHKISS.

 Captain Mayo will plant the Folboeuf place, on Rampant creek, exclusively in potatoes. The fine plat at his residence will be planted partly in potatoes and partly in variety of garden vegetables Captain Mayo always plants potatoes immediately after the ices goes out of the river.
 Nearly every residence will have a garden in connection. Mir. and Mrs. Clemens will cultivate the ground at the Dr. Gibbons place, as well as that at their own residence and other odd patches here and there.

 Fortunately Jack ad put some matches under his hatband and they kept dry so the men were enabled to make fire and get warm.

Jack Radigan came in Sunday, from Fairbanks, after pretty hard trip.

 At the beginning the snow was wet and heavy and their snowshoes became distressing burdens. Niggerheads were high and the holes were full of water so their misery was soon augmented by wet clothes.
 At the Hootltotna they found wide torrent which they tried to bridge by falling trees with d hand ax which they carried The banks were too low, and each tree was swept away no sooner than 1t fell. After several hours of this heart-breaking work, with strings they

Peter is an energetic young man
full of vim and just as straight as

Q. c. Nelson (who, by the way,
brought the Extra creamery to
paying basis.) he no doubt will fol.
low the lessons received of him
and will keep the Audubon Town
ship creamery among the popular
institutions of the county.
The good work done by Pete's
predecessor, Mr.. Peter Jensen, now
of the firm of Lohner & Jensen,
while he presided over the destinies
of this industry, will ever be re-
membered by it's patrone. Mr..
Nelson will keep the business up
to the high standard to which it
has attained.

WILLIAM RADCLFF
A Prominent Audubon Township
Man Passed Quietly Away at
His Home Friday Evening

William Radcliff was born on the
10th of December, 1882 in Greene
county, New York, he died on the
Sd of May, 1907, at his home about
ak miles southeast of Extra, aged
"a yre. mo. and 90 days.
The subject of the sketch came to
this section of Iowa when compar-
atively young man. For quite
while he remained single, but
about the year 1867, he married
Miss Malinda Hamlin, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nathaniel Hamlin,
the latter among the first white
settlers of Audubon county.
To this union eleven children
were born,-nine boys and two
girls, all of whom are now living
save boy and two girls who passed
away in infancy. His widow to-
gether with the ten children deeply
mourn his loss.
Mr.. Radcliff was highly esteemed
as an exemplary husband, kind
father, an obliging neighbor and a
successful farmer. His departure
will be keenly felt by the friends
who shared his acquaintanceship.
For five or six years he had been
in declining health, but especially
within the last two years did he
begin to show the marks of disease
and suffering. During his long
affliction he was patient, hopeful
and accomplishing.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is with the bereaved family.
Upon the ear of each of us sounds
the MASTERS pleading voice: "Come
unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and 1 will give you
rest"
The funeral which was largely
attended, was held at the home Of
the deceased at one o'clock Sunday
afternoon, Elder b. A. Pallister,
pastor of the Christian church, de-
livering an appropriate sermon
from the Scripture found in the
18th chapter of the First Epistle of
Paul to the Corinthians, the 10Th
aud Goth verses: "If in this life
only we have hope in Christ, we
are of all men most miserable; but
now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the first fruits of them
that slept after which the remains
were taken to the Bowen cemetery,
seven miles south of Extra, and
laid to rest.
