Road FOremen In Demand.

The Milwaukee Sentinel recently
published the following item:-
San appeal comes from the State
Highway Engineer, a. Il. Hirst, for
competent foremen to take charge of
road construction in Wisconsin.
In the year 1912 about 100000
worth of road work was done in the
state under the general direction OF
the state highway commission, and
during the coming year it is expected
the amount OF road work done will
aggregate S2,500,000 Last year there
was trouble in many counties TO find
competent foremen to direct the work
and in 1913 this trouble promises to
become acute.
1--WE would like TO bring out of the
woods every man in the state who has
had experience in handling men and
| tools in moving dirt or building city
streets, country roads or railroads, "
/ says the state engineer in letter re-
questing the assistance of The Sentinel
in bringing this subject before the
public.
I'VE want men who have actually
served as foremen on work of some
Importance and believe If we could
secure list of such men we could place
most of them at very good wages and
be of service to many counties which
find it difficult to secure the right kind
of men," he adds
IL is the purpose of the Wisconsin
highway csmmisSion to prepare list
of competent foremen which will be
furnished To all county highway com
missioners to assist them in the selec.
tion of men to have charge of their
work during the coming year.
II such list can be secured it will
solve one of the most serious problems
facing the road builders in the state.
The campaign Of 1912 in road work
doubled or trebled the amount of such
work ordinarily prosecuted in Wiscon-
sin and 1913 will see another doubling,
or more, with the result that experien-
ced men, from highway engineers to
foremen, roller operators, etc, will be
scarcer than ever. All such men who
are not engaged for 1918 shou Id COM
municate with State Highway Eng
ineer A. r. Hirst, Madison, Wisconsin,
II they desire to be placed in the road
work of the state during the coming
year.

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The DRAFT.-It is currently report
ed that the draft in this county pro-
badly will take place some day next
week, and that the commissioner is
not required to give more than one
days notice of the time. Whether the
statement is correct or not, we cannot
say. We believe that those persons
who are drafted, will have five days
time to make their appearance at the
rendezvous.
Major Olmsted and Captain Rankin,
of the 9th regiment are in town, and
will recruit among drafted men, and
offer strong inducements to them to
join the regiment.

fair the results attained by The COM
mittee of ten are astonishing. A re-
solution offered by Henry Murphy was
adopted thanking everybody who had
helped make the fair u success. The
grounds were given free by VIM. Rahr,
Sr.
j. G. Donohue, told some droll stories
in his inimitable manner.
Geo. Wits made report on the lots
donated to the Aluminium Company for
a factory site on condition that they
pay S350,000 in wages in six years.
The new factory shows an increase of
employees from l15 to 2SO and the
wages for the year are greatly in ex-
cess of the sum promised.
M. X. Reilly was introduced In
opening he gave an outline of the pro-
bable work of the new Democratic ma
tional administration. He SAID they
had problems harder than any since
Lincoln faced divided country. He
then launched into his address "The
Slavery of Business" The central
theme of the talk was the absorption
of the American man in business to
the utter disregard of political and
social obligations and duties. 1t was
good speech couched in choice language
and impressively delivered. 1t was a
great opportunity for the new repre-
sentative and he rose to the occasion.
He made many friends by his earnest
ness and brilliant powers of speech.
The banquet was a distinct success.

MAKE BLUNDERS IN OFFICE
Englishmen in High Posi- IONS Rave on
Occasions Furnished MuoA Food
for Merriment.

The prize blunder in Official orders
up to date emanated from the home
Office when it gave an order some
years ago for the rebuilding OF Glou-
cester jail, remarks London Tlt-Btts.
The clever official who wrote that or
der in Whitehall has, no doubt, been
ragged" about it over and over again.
The official notice stated that, whilst
the new prison was being erected on
the site of the former one, the prison
ers were to be kept as before, in the
old premises, and to continue their
work and life in the ordinary way"
That laughable parliamentary paper
has always been reckoned the gem OF
it's kind. But no one from the home
Office ever explained how the prison
officers were to keep the old jail stand
ing, and their convicts in it, while tho
new Jail was being built on the same
site.
The admiralty's principal lapse OF
this kind occurred many years ago,
when, in consequence Of very severe
frost, some of his majesty's ships, des-
tined for the Mediterranean, could not
leave Hull as the harbor and part OF
the Humber we're frozen some inches
thick, and they were fast in the ice.
The commanding admiral acquainted
the admiralty with this fact; whereup-
on that sage Office issued special no.
tice as follows: ''The lords Of the ad-
miralty agree to sanction your vessels
remaining in port at Hull till the frost
enables them to proceed to their des-
,tination."
It was the government Of Canada
which issued an order in council not
long ago prescribing that any immi-
grant "arriving between the first Of
March and the thirtieth of October,
both inclusive, shall, on his arrival in
Canada, have in his possession at least
1926 in money" etc., etc., and followed
this up with a second clause, stating
that between the first Of November
and the last day of February, inclu-
sive, the sum shall be $50"
But what about October 81? It will
be seen that the Canadian officials had
entirely forgotten about that day, and
it was not till somebody in England
pointed out to them this curious omis.
sion that the order was withdrawn,
and new clauses substituted which
made matters right for October 81
also.
