with the duty Of carrying on inyesu-
gative and experimental work In roau
building and must furnish plans, spe-
cifications and estimates for road and
bridge construction for town ana
counties and cities and villages as
we'll
The proposed bill gives ample pow
er to the state commission to protect
the states finances and to assist the
counties and towns in an efficient
and economical manner in highway
construction and which may not cost
the state one dollar in supervision,
and at the same time permits them
to retain in a large measure controI
over such construction and improve
ment Of the highways.
The bill carries an appropriation OF
$500, 900 for a period of six years
Five per cent OF this amount is set
aside for assisting in maintenance
and making repairs; $4,000 for inves
tigatiOn and experimental work and
salaries, and the residue must be
spent on the highways

mends O. that all highway taxes be

The committee does not make any

matter was gone over by the commit.

Prospector Uses NHrogIycerine with
Good Effect.
Spokane, Wash, Jan 23.-Unlque
and certain of results is the method
employed by S. G. Mcmahon. MN
ing prospeCtor, in killing coyotes ana
other predatory animals in the
Whisky valley district in central
Washington. He uses nitroglycertne
and since January / has collected
more than $3.50 in bounties on
scalps While at Ellensburg with
wagonload Of pelIs the other day he
told the secret OF his success as a
bounty-earner, saying:
I'm out in the hills prospecting
most of the time and my only com
paniOns are the coyotes and other
wild things | haven't the time to
hunt coyotes, but to make a little
easy money and at the same time
rid the district Of some OF the nuI-
sances / load pieces or meat vita
nitroglycerine, such as l use in blast
ing, and scatter the tidbits near the
coyote haunts. The coyotes come
along, some times singly but more
often in twos, threes and in packs
They find the meat and guIp it down.
Then it is all over with EN-. The
explosive kills instantly, but does
not injure the pelt enough to prevent
the county auditor from paying the
bounty Of 81 each. I've killed hun
dreds of these pests in my time and
! expect to bag many more before the
end Of the year. The game is worth
while, for | not only get the bounty
but also help the farmers and stock
growers in getting rid Of their worst
enemies.

Presenting what it deems to be a
pain, easily operated and yet com
prehensive bill covering the whole
scheme Of road administration the
special legislative committee to
which was. assigned the task Of fOrmu-
Iating plan Of roadbuilding for Wis
consin has completed it's work and
filed it's report with Governor DAVID
son.
The bill is drawn upon democrat
ic theory that the building Of roads
is a work that must be done by the
! people, that the results are for the
people and that the people are to be
held in first consideration. The com
mittee has sought in it's preparation
to avoid as much as possible the cen
traIization Of power in the hands Of
few remote individuals.
The bill provides for a commission
Of three to be appointed by the gov
ernor to have general charge Of the
subject Of highways and discussing
the question Of how much power
should be placed in the commission,
the report says:
I'VE realize that to make a success
Of any undertaking of this nature the
people must be interested in it and
the best way to arouse and mainta1L
their interest is to give them as fun
a share as possible in the council as
we'll as in the work. The people OF
Wisconsin are accustomed to taxi
hold of and manage their own affairs,
more especially their local affairs,
and the failure or success of state
aid for highways depends, in the last
analysis, upon the intelligent interest
taken in it by the people"
The committee says Of the bill.
that it makes graft practically impOs-
sible; that it provides for efficient
expenditure of money; that it re
quires no army of men for it's admin
istration: that calls for aid qgin com
mand the support Of the University OF
Wisconsin and will work without fric
ton
The bill and report have been
printed IOSEIu6I anu IlEE6 JIOuSdLA
copies of the same are ready for dis
tribution free Of charge to members
of the legislature and to others inter
ested in good roads upon application
to the secretary of state. The report
is practically a unanimous one, or as
nearly so as could reasonably be ex-
pected from any seven men dealing
with such a broad and important sub
iect
Before drafting the bill the commit
tee visited Ohio and Michigan, be-
sides holding public meetings in
twenty-five different places in W1scon-
sin, in order to get information on
the subject and the ideas of the peo-
pie respecting the kind of a law that
was wanted. 1t viii be remembered
that at the last election the constltu-
ton was amended So that the state
could aid ir building good roads The
adoption OF this amendment wss an
