L The county board laid over the mat.
ter of the election of q highway su.
perintendent. The opinion of the at
torney general, which always "goes.
in the absence of court decision, was
conclusive, but as one Of the commits
sioners was opposed, the matter went
over. One commissioner does not,
let us hope, constitute the entire
board. The board as at present con-
stituted is an able one, with men fol.
" capable of conducting affairs az
they should be, wisely and conscience
ously, and when a majority of the
board has determined that q proposi
tion is correct, they will be sustained
by public opinion In putting the pro.
position into effect.

day, where he saw the officials of the
500 in reference to the new road from
Pierz to Mile Laos. Mr.. Schmolke
has . map of the exact route Of the
500 road for that distance. The loca.
tion Of the new stations has been de-.
siRnated by the company. The first
will be at Pierz OF in its vicinity.
The company had a location in mind
mile west of the town, but is hav-
ing come difficulty in securing the
proper amount of land. The farmer
who owns the property at this point
is heavily interested in the village of
Pierz itself and IS attempting to in.
duence the company to change the loca.
tion to the village. It is probable.
however. that the station will not be
located at the village but even farther
west if the land owner does not come
to time. A station called Hillman will
be located IL miles east of Pierz.
A bout eeven miles southwest of Pierz
will be the station of Vawter. On the
weet side of the river, about five
miles from Royalton, q station named
Bowlus will be located. These sta
tions are in the heart of the farming
districts and will open much terrific.
~. It is stated that many people are
already making preparations to settle
in these towns as soon as the 500 ie
completed. The chances are that some
building will be done this summer.
Mr.. Schn olke stated that the 500 off.
cials expect to have freights and pas
sengels running over the line by the
first Of November. All the contracts
must be completed by that date 50 tha,

LEAVE NAIL BOXES ALONE

Some party or parties have been
disturbing the contents of mail boxes
along route No. Q, in Pierz lately.
One patron of the route reports that
on Monday last he deposited q letter
IN his box and that the letter waa
torn open and the stamp taken of. A
check that was in the letter was not
taken. It does seem queer that people
will continue to damage mail boxes
and meddle with their contents. fol
If app:ehended it will go very hard on
them. as the law is very severe in
cases like these.
