BIG SUM FOR GOOD ROADS
VIII Amount to $I,25O,OOo in Next
Year, Says Expert-Benefit for
$50 Wisconsin Towns.

Madison.-That work on improved
roads and bridges in Wisconsin next
year will reach about S1,25O,000 in
value, and that at least $50 towns in
the state will be benefited, are figures
given by A r. Hirst, acting state
highway engineer, in an address on
the work of the Wisconsin highway
commission before the Engineering
Society of Wisconsin. He said:
About $50 miles of stone, gravel
or shale road will be built and about
246 miles of dirt road, the last class
comprising sand, clay and other types
of semi-permanent surfacing as well
as ordinary grading work. In addi-
ton to this, there will probably be
$50 bridges of various sizes built
Mr. Hirst said it is intended to
continue practically the same meth
DDS in work under the state aid law
as were used by the highway division
of the Wisconsin geological survey
during the past four years, and it is
probable that every year the highway
commission will be called upon to
design or approve the design of at
least 100000 worth of state aid and
county aid bridge work.
1.-THE good roads movement said
Mr.. Hirst, has now come to the
point where the difficulty is not in
securing votes of money for highway
construction, but in supplying the
demand for experienced road build
ers. Men from other states will not
always prove satisfactory, as in most
cases the other states are building
type of road much more expensive
than Wisconsin will stand for This
is evidenced by the fact that during
1910 and 1911 the stone roads built
under our plans in Wisconsin did not
average over $4,000 per mile, grad
ing included, while the roads in the
eastern states will average $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile.

DRIFT IN LAKE ON ICE FL0E

Aid When Facing Death-Life
Savers Make Rescue.

Kenosha. on great
field of slush ice and drifting to what
seemed certain death, William
Hanchman and John Stanley, both
Kenosha men, had their prayer for

They had gone out on the slush
lake ice hunting ducks, and when
they sought to return home they
found their way blocked by a mile
of open water. The ice field had
parted and the portion on which they
were standing was drifting far into
the lake
The men fired off the shotGuns
they carried until their supply of
shells had been exhausted. Then
they became hysterical and knelt on
the ice and began to pray Nearly
five miles away at the Kenosha look
out, one of the lifesaving crew saw
something on the ice pack.
There is a dog being carried out
on that furthest ice field" the man
shouted to Capt. Frank Fountain.
Well, we will have to go out and
get htT1," the captain replied, and
expecting only to save a dog the life
savers started on the long trip over
the ice, dragging a light skiff.
After they were two miles out they
saw that the castaways were men,
and redoubled their efforts.
The hfesavers pulled their skiff
over the breaking ice and, rowing
through the breakers in the foe. fl
nally managed to reach the men.
Tugs had put out from Kenosha in
the meantime, but the lifesavers
saved the imprisoned men and made
their way back to the beach over the
