damp snow and raging blizzard piling
it in drifts. Following so suddenly

lowed in the wake of the storm for a
few days.

Royal j. Maltpress of this city has
been commissioned deputy oil Inspector
for Rock county, to succeed Chas. Con-
rad whose resignation was made some
time ago. A competitive examination
under civil service rules was held re-
Gently and the name of Maltpress was
one of three that were forwarded to E.
L. Tracey, state supervisor of illumin-
ating oils, for the appointment, which
was signed on Saturday last. The se-
lection of Mr.. Maltpress is very graft
flying to his many friends in Edgerton
as we'll as the county at large. 1t will
be his duty to inspect and pass upon
every car load of oil !. or gasoline that
comes into the county, and the position
pays about 500 month and expenses.
He will doubtless assume his office
about the 1st of the coming month.
