structed under contract being filed at
the office of the commissioner:
Dear Sir-I take this opportunity to
call your attention to one of the pro-
visions of the state road law which is
found near the end of Section 1, that
"a certificate of cost of every road con-
structed under the provision of This act,
not upon contract, shall be filed with
the state commissioner of highways
by the selectmen or authorized author
itv over the work of the town in which
such road shall have been constructed,
on or before November first.
BY this it is seen that State road
work must be completed and all ac-
counts settled and reports made prior
to the first day of November. AS the
Legislature meets this winter we are
doubly anxious to have this provision
of the law strictly complied with. IN
order that we may have the data from
which to make up our report TO the
Governor and Council at the earliest
possible date:
There is good deal of clerical work
connected with compiling the data for
between AS and 800 OF these jobs ana
getting it into a report and II each
board of selectmen would be as prompt
as possible and as careful as possible
to have their return accurate it would
help us out very materially in carry
ing out our part of the work.
Speaking Of accuracy reminds me
that from the returns already received
there is apparently either some over
sight or carelessness in making up
no a.l n jOritV OF
the reports so far received, we nave
found discrepancies between the totai
cost of the work shown on the GER
tiiicate of completion, the certificate OF
cost and the payroll and material ac-
count. There are also occasional er-
rors on the payroll and good many
extensions have been found showing
that for the time worked ana the rate
per day the man employed has been
paid too large an amount In eacl OF
these eases we have taken the matter
no with the snlectmen and they have
advised that the man has been paid TIE
correct amount but that an incorrect
amount was entered on the paNfoli.
This indicates carelessness on some
ones part and makes considerable
amount of extra work here.
Will YOU not do Your part toward
having your papers in proper form ana
made with accuracy? We snail appre-
riate whatever you can do along TINS
line.

''LUCKY" JACK
CHARGED OF
KILLING CALF
JACK PETERSON'S POWERFUL
COLLIDES WITH CALF TIED
BEHIND FARMER'S WAGON AND
HE WILL ANSWER TO CHARGE
PREFERRED AGAINST HIM IN
JUSTICE WEBSTER'S COURT.

Sheriff Mimic this morning arrested
Lucky" Jack Peterson on the charge
of wantonly running over and injur-
ing calf with his automobile, and he
made his appearance before Judge
Webster to answer to the charge this
forenoon and was placed under a
bond of $3.50.
The offense~is alleged to have been
committed yesterday morning, and
the calf is alleged to belong to Fred
Stovers. Stovers, it seems, at the
time, was driving along the road with
the calf hitched to the rear of the
wagon, and when Peterson came along
in his machine and sought to pass,
the calf ran out to one side and the
automobile collided with it. Stover
claims that the animals leg was
broken, and that he was compelled to
kill it,
Peterson will plead to the charge
tomorrow.

TWO MILLION
LOSS BY HEAT
IN CHICAGO
rUN1rEp PRESS LEASED wmu.l

Chicago, July z5.-The hot wave
which has been making the tempera-
ture terrible in the Middle West is
held responsible for big fires which
have swept over the northwestern
part Of the city yesterday, causing a
loss of $4,000, 900, and made SO fam
lilies homeless.
The Northwestern Malt C Grain
Company's plant, said to be the Iarg-
est mailing concern in the world, was
damaged to the extent of $1,50O,0O0,
and the brewery of Charles O'Gren
C Co. was virtually destroyed, with a
loss of nearly 100000.
1t is asserted that both fires were
caused by the explosion of grain dust
in the plants, and that the high tenn
perature was responsible for the ex-
plosions.
No one is known to have been
killed, but several persons have not
been accounted for.
While these fires were in-progress
a large bakery caught fire, presum-
ably from one of its ovens, and the
big building and four adjoining resi-
dences burned.

cured by Johnson. There were
many redeeming features of the
game, despite the bad errors, among
which were one double play pulled
off successfully by the Derbies and
three by Salem, and the baserunning
of Johnson, fielding of Joe Fay, who
covered the third sack in yesterdays
game to the entire satisfaction of
the fans, and also of Hughes and
Keyes, center and left fielders for
the Derbies, respectively, who made
some sensational catches of difficult
flies. Salem had two good chances
to make doubles but failed because
of delayed throws by Hymphries at
second.
Cheyne umpired a good and alto
gether impartial game. The dou-
bles pulled Off by Salem we're made
by Fay to Lavier, Mickels to White,
and Shorey to Lavier to Fay. That
of the Derbies was credited to Rob
inson to Mcconnell to Irwin. The
loss of the game places Salem sew

TRUNK LINE
OPERATING
AS USUAL
BIG STRIKE IS OFF AND TRAINS
ARE RUNNING PRACTICALLY
ON SCHEDULE PENDING SET
ELEMENT OF DISPUTE BY AR
BITRATION.


Toronto, Ont, July 25.-Through
trains on the Grand Trunk today are
running practically on schedule. AL
though the strike is not yet declared
off officially, the strikers are not in
terfering with the movement of
trains pending the settlement of the
dispute by arbitration. Numbers of
strikebreakers put to work when the
strike began are manning the trains
and all trains are moved slowly
through the cities. The company, il
is said, fears derailments.
The strikers say the non-union
men employed are not experienced
enough to run trains with safety
and that there is danger of acci-
dents, particularly in the big yards.
They predict chaos when the heavy
suburban traffic is resumed. Taken
with the local freight which has
been practically abandoned ever
since the strike was called, the
strikers say the road soon will be in
confusion from end to end.
President Hayes of the Grand
Trunk says that IL he is given pro-
lection from possible interference
by the strikers, which he still fears,
he will be able to run the road on
regular schedule.
The railroad officials are extreme
ly anxious to resume suburban and
freight traffic. Since the strike be-
gan the Canadian Pacific has practi-
cally doubled its freight business
drawing heavily from the Grand
Trunk revenues, and the loss to the
latter company. it is declared, has
been enormous.

GOVERNMENT CRUISING NATIONAL

Apache; in New Mexico, the CALI
mas division of the Lincoln, and half
of the Pecos. Field parties are now
at work in Arkansas on the Arkan-
sas National forest, and in Florida
on the Choctawkatchee.
During the present field season it
is anticipated that the estimates COW
ering the Apache, ella, and Pecos,
in New Mexico, and the Mount Gra-
ham Division Of the Crook, in Ari-
zona, can be completed, and that for
the Manzano. in New Mexico, which
was estimated in 1908, thoroughly
revised. During the winter of 1912
and 1911 undoubtedly the Choc-
tawhatchee and Coala, in Florida.
and the Arkansas and ozark, in Ar
kansas. can be finished. Thus, II is
likely that by 1913 all saw timber
in District 3, which comprises the
forests OF the South and Southwest
wfll be cru .sed and mapped so tha.
purchasers can negotiate sales
promptly and the government will
know just what timber should be
sold first and bow much it can safely
dispose Of.
