An Adjourned Annual Meeninc is
Held. Every town Represented
Fish Creek Bridge Put Out
of Commission. No more
county money for it,

The most important business
transacted at the adjourned an
nual meeting of the county
board, was the personal inspec-
ton of the Fish Creek bridge
and what is commonly known as
the canal road by the mem bers
of the board. and the adoption of
the latter as a part of the county
road system. The bridge, upon
which so much money has been
expended during the past three
or four years, and which has
been so thoroughly cussed and
discu ssed at every meeting Of
the board was dropped as a
county bridge, and those who
now want it will have to keep it
in repair. Many of the mem
bers of the board were thorough
ly surprised that the bridge
should be in such condition after
so much money has been ex-
pended on it. About two year
ago over five thousand dollars
contributed by the citizens of
Ashland and the town of Wash
burn, was expended on this
bridge and the approaches to
the bridge, where this money
was actually put, was the COM
mon question asked by the mem
bers of the County Board. Half
of the amount paid by the town
of Washburn is on the tax rolls
this year. So that even though
the bridge is gone the people of
tie county will still be paying
for it. Chairman Schweisthal
of the town of Barksdale put up
a determined fight for the pro-
position to keep the bridge a
part of the county system, but
he was beaten.
Another resolution was passed
extending the system of county
roads so that this city and Herb
ster and Port Wing will be con-
nected by good county high
way.
The $1,000 appropriation made
to the,North Wisconsin Develop
ment Association at the annual
meeting was cut down to $3.50.
A resolution presented by
Chairman Vester of Oulu, pro-
viding for paying a bounty on
crows, hawks. gophers, spar
rows, ETC., was presented and
was laid on the table.
Auditor Axelberg presented
his report of the auditing of the
County records which was ac-
cepted.
The entire afternoon was
spent by the members of the
Board in inspecting the canal
road and the fish creek bridge.

is not to be expected that they
should. They have been schooled
for ages in different PHILOSOPHERS
religions, customs, morals. =
"They must come to understand
each other gradually, and during
this evolution the best way for us
to avoid serious misunderstanding
is through a larger navy and well
fortified harbors.
The greatest incentive to war is
the unpreparedness of somebody,
just as the greatest influence
toward peace is preparedness for
war.
1--WE are not prepared for war on
the Pacific. Therefore we are not
doing all we can to insure peace
by removing incentive to war. We
need much larger navy and much
more thorough fortification on the
Pacific. We must fortify Pearl
harbOr and certainly the harbors of
the Philippines. Guam and Samoa
as we'll as all important harbors
on the mainland.
"Let me make myself clear. | do
not look for war. | think that on
the Pacific there will be no ques-
ton of imperial domination. In
time the Pacific will be a great
highway of trade.
"The Japanese realize this and
the Japanese are gaining on us rap
idly. They will continue to do so
until we, also, come to realization
and remove the conditions that pre-
vent our making the most of our
commercial opportunities. Our mer-
chant marine laws and our tariff
laws are adverse to our shipping.
These restrictions to our CONNER
ciaf activiay should be removed.
"Once America looked toward the
Mediterranean as the forum where
the worlds questions were solved.
Today America Is beginning to look
outward on the Pacific and the
other nations to look in on the
Pacific as the arena where these
questions must be solved in the
future.

ness men of this west coast,
from Puget sound to San
Diego. have just entered
into an alliance that will for
the first time present a solid
} front to congress ON all mat
ters affecting the Pecific
} slope.
} This alliance has been ac-
complished through the re-
sent organization of THE
Associated Chambers of
Commerce of the Pacific
Coast" Its members are the
) chambers of commerce of
y San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Seattle, Portland, Tacoma,
Spokane and San Diego. The
organization is pledged to
use it's influence in forcing
}. the federal government into
a realization of the neces-
sity of increased naval pro-
lection, more thorough for
tification and more liberal
laws governing the mer-
chant marine.
And this Influence is ire
mehdous. The allied bodies
represent the biggest men
on the coast. In the member
ship are big merchants, big
shippers, big officials and
big thinkers. Already prac-
tically every United States
senator and representative
from the coast states has
pledged himself to support

Perhaps the biggest of the
big men who are back of the
new movement Is Benjamin

personal friend of Roose-
welt, educator, historian, a
close student OF the prog
ress of nations and a recog-
nized authority on interna-

YOUNG MUST SERVE
THE LONG PRISON TERM

Montrose Enterprise: District At
torney Hugo Selig received a tele-
phone message yesterday from the
attorney general of the state to the
effect That the supersedeas asked for
by Henry Young had been denied by
the supreme court.
This means that Young will be
compelled to go to the penitentiary
to serve out his term of from 25 to
80 years for the killing of Chas. Will
kenson near Paradox last spring.
Young was tried In this city in Sep
tember and was sentenced to the PEN
itentiary. He applied to the supreme
court for supersedeas, and. pending
action. he has been confined In the
Jail at Denver. Since the supreme
court has failed to grant the request
Young will now be taken to the PEN
itentiary at Canon City. and Sheriff
Taylor left Monday for Denver for
the purpose of taking Young to the
penitentiary.
An effort is being made to have
Claire Young. who is implicated with
his father in the crime, brought back
to Montrose and kept In the county
jail until his trial In March instead
of leaving him in Denver. Since the
Mexican murderer is confined in the
Montrose jail 1t is figured out that
1t would be no more trouble to have
Young there as we'll. To do this it
will be necessary to get an order
from Judge Shackleford. and. as Mr..
selig has put the matter before the
Judge, 1t is thought that the request
will be granted In time for the sher-
iff to bring the young man back with
him.

NOW SENATOR SIMON Is
RAISING MONTRosE's HOPES

Montrose Enterprise: A dispatch
from Washington states that Senator
Guggenheim had introduced a bill
IN congress for 100000 federal
building at Montrose.
1t will be remembered that on his
visit to Montrose the senator was
requested to lend his efforts toward
getting a federal building for Mont
rose. This he promised to do. and
the foregoing information would In
dicate that he Is living up to his
promise. and We would suggest that
the Commercial Association write to
the senator thanking him for his ef-
forts thus far In behalf of Montrose
and thus encourage him to push this
bill to successful ending II posi-
BILE.
Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs
and Durango are also after federal
buildings. but as far as we know con-
cerning these other towns, Montrose
has greater claim than any of them.
