SURVEY BILL SIG
NED LAST NIGHT
TELEGRAM SENT THIS MORNING
TO GOV. HAY REGARDING To-
BIOGRAPHICAL AND GEOLOM-
CAL SURVEY TO NO AVAIL.

The action of the Commercial club
last night in appointing a committee
to draft resolution to send to Gov
ernor Hay, asking that he sign the
bill providing for the appropriation
Of $4,000 for state Typographical
and geological survey, is of no avail.
The telegram was sent Governor Hay
this morning but Governor Hay had
signed the bill late last night. The
bill carries with it an appropriation
of $4,000.
The bill was passed in two sections,
one appropfiating $4,000 for topo-
graphical mapping, which will be
spent under the direction of the
United States geological survey, with
like sum from the federal govern
ment, and the other appropriating
$4,000, which will be spent under
the direction of the state board of
geological survey, consisting of the
governor, secretary of state and the
presidents of the state university and
the state college.
Before the bill which became law
was introduced in the legislature two
bills were considered there, one intro
,duced by the coal mining interests of
the southwestern part of the state,
providing for an appropriation of
$4,000 for geological investigation,
and the other by the timber interests,
providing for an investigation of
logged-off lands, with an equal ap-
preparation.
Influence Swaps Governor.
When the final bill was under con-
sideration in the state senate Acting
Governor M. e. Hay declared in an
interview that in the event of the bill
passing both houses of the legislature
he would not sign it, as he considered
other projects more worthy of an ap-
preparation. All the influence that
the mining interests of the state
could bring to bear was directed at
the acting governor. The bill was
Endorsed by the county engineers.
The president of the State Farmers
grange gave it his support and other
organizations were interested, with
the result that it was passed in both
houses without having the appropria-
ton provided for cut and escaped the
governors veto.
The $4,000 which will be spent in
conjunction with an equal amount
from the federal government, will be
used for typographical investigation
and for making contour maps of the
state. The $4,000 appropriation

Comments on Wreck.

The Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend interurban line adds another seri-
Gus accident to the growing list for
roads Of this type The news story has
1t that the motorman Of the east bound
car is said to have been running fast
to make UP lost time so that he would
reach the switch ahead of the South
Bend car"
There is primitive simplicity about
the running of cars on single track
trolley lines that was all right in the
days of horse cars but that is ALI
wrong in the case of high grade flyers
of the present Many Of the trolley
disasters are due to lack of ADEQUATE
system for car dispatching. 1t is hard
to excuse those who are to blame for
this clareless, happy go lucky, cross
country running.
The modern interurban car is much
like a steam railroad coach. It is
heavy, long and high above the rails.
It is run sometimes at fifty to sixty
miles an hour. UP hill and down, around
curves, across bridges, on the level.
on graded tracks often racing beside
the steam railroad trains in compe-
tition for the patronage of travellers.
1t ought to be subject to the same reg
ulations for securing safety which
long experience has proved essential
on the older transportation lines.
There is not much reason for wonder
that there is an occasional smashun.
Nothing but sheer luck prevents many
fatal disasters.-Chicago Tribune.

Altogether you're getting kind of rest
less. all of you. Own up now. aren't you +?
And while you are getting eager to get
outdoors, II may seem that the teacher is
getting crosser and horrider, maybe.
Aren't you thinking things like that? And
aren't you sometimes cross and mean to
her and a bit stubborn about this or
that?
Well. that is what We wanted to talk to
you about-about the teacher. We don't
want to preach to you. and. IL we did. you
wouldn't want to listen. But in all your
games. all of you-boys and grs-like to
play fair. You haven't any use for one
who doesn't. Well. let us see IL teacher
is getting a fair deal.

that or not I don't see it and I can't have
1t. Yet of my own knowledge l can testi-
fy that 1t has always sold and sold well.
l can't have it. but can have something
just as good or better, which generally
means that I can have a substitute that
I don't want. though l have to take 1t In
self-defense. Apparently the storekeeper
doesn't want to keep anything that he
can't keep.
And what aggravates me more than
anything else frequently is his manner
when inquire for something I've always
had and always expected to have, some
thing that has disappeared. that is He
seems to be surprised and little amused
to discover that can even remember that
he used to have such a thing in stock.
You'd imagine that 1t was removed from
the market centuries ago and he half
pities me because I'm so old-fashioned
and fussy.
Very often it's the same way with the
stage. There may be reason for it, but
