NO LINCOLN HIGHWAY FOR TEN YEARS

When the people living along the old
prove the Lincoln highway over which
there is so much JOY just now, they
will suddenly realize the importance OF
the demand made upon an unwilling
legislature to authorize long time
bonds to be issued for road improve
ments and to provide for assessing
lands specially benefited nearby the
roads improved. The Lincoln highway
famous rural roads being built in the
vicinity of Detroit, at cost Of $4,000
per mile. At this cost the Lincoln
highway improvement alone will cost
$4,000 across each county which it
traverses. Assuming that the national
association will donate as much as
100000 to each county. there will still
be $4,000 to raise locally in each
road monies of every county involved
for five years and under present laws
each county would have to build a
piece Of the road each year for five
years. hence we would wait FIVE years
for the Lincoln highway even if we
could use all of the road monies which
we could not do so ten years would be
more like the probable time 1t would
under present statutes. Just ina gine
building a county court house a few
courses Of brick per annum for ten
years.
A concrete highway will last approx
imately twenty five years without re-
pair, according to experience with it in
city pavements. When it has been
builtsit will have increased the value
of fSm lands within its vicinity from
$25 to $50 per acre. Canvassing COM
mittees can go out and raise a fund
by subscription from the benefited land
owners and public spirited citizens in
town but any good sized part Of $780,
600 is a big sum to raise and whenever
any benefited property owner wants to
play the "shortleg'' on the subscription
he can do It and others will have to
pay his share. How much more sensi-
BILE 1t would be to permit the county
to issue road bonds at low rate of
interest, to be paid off in twenty an
nual installments, and then permit the
board of supervisors to create a special
road Improvement district Of all the
lands and towns specially benefited by
should be assessed for approximately
one third or half the entire cost Of the
improvement? In this way the owner
of a quarter section of land on the
Lincoln highway would pay not more
than SIS per annum road paving tax,
while the county road funds would
have half the cost lifted by the lands
benefited and the other half would be
spread over a twenty year period so
that instead Of taking all the road
monies for five years to build one Lin
coin highway across county, Is per
cent of the road monies for twenty
years would do 1t. or six Lincoln high
ways could be built in each county and
put into use to be paid for as used
without increasing the general tax levy
one cent. In other words, every mile
of the present county road systems

DEPOTS AND HEALTH OFFICERS.
IBurlington GaZette.l


The city health officer at Mason City
has condemned as unssnitary. etc. the
union station IF the Rock Island and
the Great Western roads in that city
and has notified the state railroad
commission and the officials Of the
two roads Of his action. 1t is possible.
that these gentlemen will send down
somebody to disinfect the depot, and
again they may simply isnoTe tie
whole matter. All sorts Of Structures
in all sorts OF towns have been con-
demned By health officers, building
commissioners. etc. and there has not
been the slightest change in conditions
as the result of such condemnation. II
is enc thing to condemn structure,
and quite another to have its reno
waited, cleaned or removed. If the
health officer really had the power 70
do things, he would find II the simplest
method TO lock the doors Of that build :
ing and TO forbid their reopening. OF
course, the law would probably step in
and say that he had no such power
and that being the case, the condem-
nation does not condemn, and unless
the owners are inclined to do some
thing the health officer will have to
confine himself to pronunciamentos.

THE 800 MICH COW.


The high price of mich COWS Is one
OF the marks of the times on the farms.
Time was when good mixer could be
purchased for from $50 to s3a. and
those who paid the latter price were
supposed to be getting the bes, the
country afforded. But that was Ions
ago. After a while cows went up to
from $40 to $50. and after that stiii
higher. Ii is now we'll known that
really good mixer will bring from $50
to 800. without being bloode6. In other
words. good mich cows are now worth
as much 3 horses used to sell for. But
there are still plenty OF $50 COWS that
are being MIXED in Iowa. That is, cows
that are not worth more than $50 as
money makers. The up;o-date farmer
now realizes that a COW to be worth
while must be COW that produces a
certain quantity Of milk and the milk
must also be of a certain quality. con-

proportions.

An undertaking Of this magnitude will
test the metal of the farmers on these
lands and it shows the character of the
men that are going into it. They are
not of the kind that grasp at the
shadow and lose the substance. They
are not going after irrigation and re
clamation projects in far off states.
They can see the opportunity that is
right at hand. The chances are that
they will reclaim more and better land
at less expense right at home than if
they put their money in any OF the
numerous offers made to induce them to
invest in similar projects in distant
states. They are setting g good exam
pie to every owner of reclamable land

Geo. A. Shields, Prominent
in Town of Bristol, Died
in Kenosha Today.
PARALYSIS BRINGS DEATH
From Saturday s Daily

George A. Shields, one of the most
prominent men of Kenosha county and
resident of the town Of Bristol for
nearly thirty years, died very sudden
" at the home Of the Rev. Frederick
Slack on Pomeroy street just after
midnight this morning following a
stroke of paralysis. Mr.. Shields was
stricken just after ten O'Clock Fri
day evening and he became unconsci-
Gus at that time and remained in this
condition until the end came.
Friday morning Mr.. Shields, accom-
panied by his wife, had come to the
city to attend memorial day exercises
and to spend the day with Mr.. and
Mrs. Slack. They decided to remain
in the city for the night and the even
ing had been spent very pleasantly at
the Slack home. There had been no
indication that Mr.. Shields was not in
good health. During the day he had
walked about the city, and had visit
ed many of his friends.
George A. Shields was native of
Morgan County, Ohio, where he was
born May Is, 1860. He came to this
county when a young man and settled
on farm in the town of Bristol. He
was an ardent supporter of irrigation
and his long connection with the fight
for the digging of the Dutch Cap
brought him into prominence in the
town of Bristol. Shields fought for
the digging OF this drainage ditch for
years and the matter was thrown out
of the courts only little over a
year ago.
Some ten months ago Mr.. Shields
was stricken with paralysis but he
seemed to have nearly recovered from
this attack.
He is survived by widow, three
sons and two daughters.
The funeral will be held from the
late residence in Bristol at | clock
Tuesday afternoon with interment at
the Hosmer cemtery
