Ing to the Senate journal. The court
holds that the provision is wise one
and safeguard and It cannot be ig.
nored even when a measure Of import.
ance and public interest is at stake.
As q result Of this finding there will
be no money available for road work
from state funds; the several hundred
thousand dollars available will be tied
up for the current two.year period un.

 Each year there are many new additions to the company of dealers.

 Not always does the investor succeed His fingers are sometimes pretty badly burned The market may be glutted, he may have rival on the next corner or perhaps his trees are not sufficient Iy attractive to cause the public to patronize him Perhaps he has held off. waiting for better prices till the last moment, and finds himself with half a hundred spruce on his hands, which he must dispose of as best he may
