reservations have been secured on the wa.

Thirdly, by creating board called the
trustees of public reservations, which holds
reservations in various parts of the state,
and also funds to maintain these reserva-
lions in good order. These reservations
ana the funds which 20 with them are gifts
from private persons, but all the reserya-
lions IN the hands of the trustees are for
public use. The board has been in exist

SUPERIOR ROW STILL ON
$500" Road Representatives Appear Be-
fore Railway Commission Asking
Entrance Into Northern City.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. IL Special.
The fight between the 500 railroad
and the two Hill roads for entrance into
Superior still continues. The 800" was
before the railroad commission today
asking the approval of the plans and
specifications of the proposed road
through Douglas county to Superior.
Chief Engineer Green testified that the
line of. the proposed track is practically
level and it will be impossible to con
struct a subway crossing over the Great
Northern tracks near South Superior.
The whole fight centers over the cross
ing and the testimony of the engineer is
that the 500 road should be allowed to
cross the other lines ON level basis. All
the roads in that vicinity are represented.
