County Has eest Roads.

Wayne County Has 6est Roads.
Wayne county expended more
money In the building OF state
reward roads for the past fiscal year
than any other county in the state OF
Michigan, according to l.. G. Smith. as
sistant state engineer OF highways.
The records show that Wayne coun-
ty, while not building as many miles
of road as some other counties (Sag-
inaw leading the list In this respect)
Is building a far better class OF roads
than most counties. The state high
way department says the county is
making an effort to build the roads
leading out of Detroit nearly as good
as the pavements, and while not so
many miles can be built In year, yet
the money paid out exceeds that OF
other counties.
The total amount paid out by the
state for reward roads during the
year ending July l is $13S,349. and in
addition to this amount $4,000 has
been paid out this year on roads that
were accepted in 1909.
Among the northern counties 1t Is
a noticeable fact that far better prog
ress Is being made in the way OF good
roads than ever before. Only a few
days ago the township in which the
small town of st. Helen is located in
Roscommon county voted to bond for
$4,000 to build good roads and claim
a share of the state reward.
In a number of cases township and
county officials call on the state de-
partment to send an expert engineer
into their section TO work with and
advise them as to the best kind OF
roads to be built.

Fertilizers Stand the Test.


The work of Analysing 200 camples
of land fertilizer manufactured for
commercial purposes, has been COM
pleted by the staff working under the
direction of Prof A.. j. Patton of the
M. A. c., and the report on the
analysis is now being compiled ready
for the annual report, according to the
fertilizer law passed by the legisla-
ture in 1885.
The 200 samples were secured by
agents of the college, all samples be-
ing taken from the different brands
offered for sale in Michigan. There
are something like 500 different
brands made in the United States,
all bearing a different name. The
commercial fertilizer, according to
laws relative TO its sale in this state,
must not have less per cent. of an
ingredient than is guaranteed.
So far the analysis has showed that
the law has been adhered to pretty
closely. there being but few excep-
lions out of the 200 samples secured. 2

MEDICINES FOUND
BELOW STANDARD
STATE DRUG DEPARTMENT HAS
MADE SOME DIscov-
ERIEs.
WOOD ALCOHOL IN BAY RUM
Laboratory Analyses Of Past Few
Days Show Many Preparations
Called Standard to BE Com
pounded Contrary to Law.

Lansing.-Though the state drug
department has been in existence less
than a month, chemical tests during
the last ten days in the laboratory of
the state dairy and food department
have proved to the drug department
that in Michigan. many medicines and
combinations of drugs, considered
staple articles, are far below the gov
eminent standard, and some OF them
In fact have been prepared in a man
ner expressly forbidden by the state
and national dairy and food laws.
The most fragrant violations dis
covered have been the presence of
wood alcohol in the bay rum Wood
alcohol Is not only forbidden in
the manufacture of bay rum, but it
is prohibited in any combination of
drugs. The discovery has caused the
department to instruct its inspec-
tors to seize all bay rum in the state
which seems to be similarly prepared
Fully 20 per cent. of the tincture
of iodine tested thus far by the de-
partment was found below the stand
ard, and about 25 per cent of the
spirits of camphor contained water.
Foreign Liquor Firms Must Pay.
Through a decision rendered in the
supreme court the state treasury will
be enriched several thousand dollars,
as the law which requires foreign
liquor dealers conducting Wholesale
houses in Michigan to pay yearly H.
cense of $500, has been tested and de-
clared constitutional.
The case reached the supreme
court when Theodore Swenson of
Houghton, agent for the William
Bergaithal Distilling company of
Milwaukee, Wis, was arrested be-
cause OF the refusal of his company
to comply with the state law and
pay the license. The supreme court
affirmed the decision of the circuit
judge in the conviction of Swenson.
Auditor General Fuller has ex.
perienced considerable difficulty in
collecting the $500 license and he
estimates that there are about 200
foreign liquor firms transacting bust
ness in Michigan at the present
time, who have not complied with
the law. The representatives of the
foreign companies have repeatedly
declared that the law was uncon-
stitutional and no money would be
paid until 1t had been tested In the
supreme court. 1t is expected that
Auditor General Fuller will institute
proceedings against the offending
firms at once.

Jurisdiction Of Railroad Commission.
Whether the state railroad commits
sion has any jurisdiction In determin
ing the fitness of the men employed by
the Grand Trunk as strike-breakers is
a matter Attorney General Kuhn will
be called upon to decide.
Owing to the fact that the Grand
Trunk Is an interstate line, Chairman
G. l.. Glasgow Of the state railroad
commission doubts his authority to
proceed in the matter. The strikers
claim that the Grand Trunk is employ.
Ing incompetent men as strike
breakers to operate the trains, and
that II is a menace to public safety
to allow these men to handle the
freights.
Already many complaints are be
ing received from shippers in the
state whose shipments are being held
up by the strike.
Chairman Glasgow says that the
department will be swamped with
work in a few days caring for the
complaints, which will pour in in
large numbers.
