motor vehicles so that dairy and farm
produce can be taken over them to
market at any time for the regular
supplying Of customers.
"A permanent highway down the
river would be the natural outlet
for traffic coming to Rock Island be-
cause it could be reached by branch
roads down the ridges and valleys
from the prairies at the south. These
branches could later be improved at
low cost because they would tap con-
venient sources of supply of road
making materials.
SAVE COST OF BRIDGE.
"Of course, it would be necessary
TO build up a grade through the bot,
toms southwest of the city and to
construct a bridge across Rock river,
but in my opinion this expense would
be saved in total cost of improving
the road

a few hundred yards of any part of
the road and at a cost greatly below
that of transporting by team. No
doubt those benefited by the improve
ment would be glad to donate the use
of teams and wagons to do all neces-
sary hauling.
In the third place, the river route
would not only be direct and free
from angles, but it would have no
hills to cut away. Furthermore for
large part of the distance there is
already fairly good road. No doubt

There had been a dispute regarding

Mr. Gamble reached an agreement to
submit the case to the three judges
of this district and abide by their
opinion The judges held that the
state law which requires circuit clerks
to turn over all fees received to the
county, was of no effect since 1t con-
flicted with the federal law govern
ing naturalization matters. The fed
eral law provides that where state
laws conflict with the national law,
they are null and void and that is the
situation in the present action. The
Judges held that all fees which Mr..
Gamble had received from this source
and which he had given to the county
be returned to him. The ruling will
be effective as far back as June, 1906,
when the law relative to naturaliaa-
! ton fees was passed.
