New Highway Bill

The new highway commission act
Just passed by the general assembly
follows closely the recommends
ton of the Colorado Good Roads
Association and the County Com
missioners Association of the state,
The bill, which is now the law
Of the state, first of all, legis-
lates out of office the old high
way commission. This commission
was composed of three members,
with c. P. Allen of Denver chair
man. Under the new law there will
be one commissioner, who shall re-
ceive salary of $4,000 per year.
The secretary of the commission
must be a civil engineer and will
receive $1,000 per year.
The measure also creates an adj
visory board consisting of five
members who will meet quarterly
and audit and approve the acts of
the commissioner. All apportiOn-
ment of state monies for road build
ing as made by the commissioner
must be approved by the advisory
board. The members of the board
serve without pay, but receive their
necessary expenses.
Under the terms of the new law
the counties desiring state aid must
put up at least an equal amount
with the state. In counties where
work is expensive and the assess
ed valuation low the state may
advance five times the amount
expended by the county. In some
instances the state may bear the
entire cost OF the road work.
The appropriation bills are still
before the legislature. House
Bill 255 which provides for the
transfer of all internal improve
ment funds to the state road fund
is in the senate. and the Colorado
Good Roads Association is urging
all its members to write their SEN
ators urging that this bill be plac-
ed on the special calendar and pass
ed without delay.

HERE is PROMPTNESS THAT
PLEASES
The Aegis Life Has Alrtiady Paid
Its Policy OH the Life of Hor-
ton p. Nichols

The Aegis Life Insurance COM
pany through NJ. A. King, general
agent of the Arkansas valley, paid
its policy yesterday on the life of
Horton S. Nichols, who was found
dead in bed on March 1. 1t is a
matter of great credit and worthy o,
comment that this company meets
its losses with such promptness. The
Aegis is a Colorado company, whose
success is due principally to the
fact that they are not only writing
a policy most favorable and equit-
able all around, but are keeping all
the premium money right in the
state. thus assuring prompt settle
ments and giving employment to a
great many people within the state.
and investing their money where
every policy holder and every citi-
zen gets future benefit from every
policy they write.

MEETING OF BRICKMAKERS.

The thirteenth annual convention
of the Wisconsin Clay Manufacturers
association was held in Milwaukee
last week at the Republican house.
John Ringle of this city, president of
the association, in his address said
"We not only owe it to ourselves,
but also to the general public, to con-
stantly remind the public mind that
burnt clay products, whether for
building or drainage purposes, are in
every way superior to all other mater
ialS.
"We are living in an age of public
ity. Every industry, every enter
prise, must participate, or else allow
the exploiter of an inferior substitute
to take the cream from the crock.
"An injustice is being done to the
industry If we continue TO rely upon
the superiority of the product. If it
is not practicable to arrange SyS-
tenn OF publicity in the association,
then it should be the business Of
every manufacturer of brick and clay
products to persistently advertise in
the newspapers of his territory.
81 consider the question of publi-
city the most important one for dis
cussion. The clay industry in Wis
consin can afford to be boosted"
Mr.. Ringle was reelected president
at the concluding session on Friday.
Other officers are: Vice-president,
A. w. Hilker; secretary, S. Weidman,
Madison, and treasurer, Oscar Zimbal,
Sheboygan.

DECREASE IN SNOKING.

Prof. NJ. V. O'Shea, of the univer-
sity of Wisconsin. is authority for the
statement that smoking is slowly but
surely dying out at the university.
He says that over ninety per cent. OF
all the boys who fail in grammar and
high schools are smokers. The tobac-
co evil, he declares, is the most
serious one that the public schools
have to contend with. Further he
says:
"The student conference has con-
demned the practice, and there are
fewer smokers this year than last.
The freshmen especially are discon-
tinuing smoking. The smoking habit
was brought here from eastern col.
leges and we are just now beginning to
recover from this fad. Nine of ten
boys who fail in grammar and high
schools are smokers. Records OF
pupils, who acquired the smoking
habit after they entered high schoo
show that not only did they become
harder TO manage but the quality ol
their school work greatly declined"

COLD SNAP.
Mercury Goes Down and Gives Us the
First Real Cold Spell of Winter.

Up to last Friday night Wausauites
and in fact the people of the whole
northern county have enjoyed an
ideal winter, only few times up to
that date has mercury dropped below
zero. Friday a fine snow fell during
the day, that night was bitter cold,
the thermometer showing some six
teen below. Saturday, with the wind
in the northwest, a blizzard ragged
most of the time and none ventured
out, only those who had to. Enough
snow has fallen to make the sleighing
exceptionally fine and it has given an
impetus to business which we could
get in no other way. Farmers have
rushed in their wood and produce and
contractors have commenced to haul
in their logs, ETC., in manner which
makes the county one Of the
busiest in the state.
While we have had it so very cold,
states in the east and south have en-
joyed one of the warmest spells of
winter. In Philadelphia, the maxi
mum temperature reached 81 above.
This is about as warm as we have it
in our homes with our fires going,
and one realizes what a summery at
mosphere they experienced.

A DAY AT ASHvILLE SCHOOL

Knox Kreutzer who is attending
school in Asheville, N. c., is very
much in love with the school and the
country. The Pilot takes the liberty
of making quotation from one of
Knox's letters to one of his friends in
Wausau:
''The weather here is simply won
derful. have Dragged about it con-
siderably, but still, enough cannot be
said in its praise. Last Saturday was
whole Holiday; we have them every
two weeks. On that day seven of US
students went for long horseback
ride, starting at 9:30 a. m. We had
good horses and arrived at our des-
tination at noon, taking our time and
enjoying every minute of it. The
day was perfect, full of sunshine,
warm and delightful, showing up the
mountains in all their beauty. We
were in condition to enjoy good
meal and certainly did so. This
country is a sort of summer resort
for southern people and there are
many quiet little hotels hidden away
in the beauty spots of the mountains,
where one can enjoy restful hour
and secure fine meal. 1t was at
one of these resorts that we stopped,
put up our horses, had our dinner
and went on a tour of sightseeing.
We started on Our return trip at
3 o'clock and arrived at school in
time for supper.
On that evening there was an excit-
ing basket ball game between the
teams of our school and Davidson
college which proved to be the best of
the season. The teams were very
evenly matched and the score fiuctu-
ated from one side to the other, until
| we finally won by score Of 18 to 20.
All together it was day to be re-
membered.
We have all kinds of experiences
here, meet young men from all parts
of our country, and that with the
beautiful surroundings and wonder
fully fine climate, makes it very en-
joyable."

IT DOES NOT HELP THEN.

The PILOT received the following
from one of our prominent farmers in
the town of Flieth, which has in ii
much food for thought:
"The parcels post law will not dc
us farmers any good out this way for
we have no mail south at the town of
Flieth. / think this should not be
allowed to continue. 1t is near Wau-
sau on an old and we'll travelled road.
1t neither has a mail route OF tele-
phone. When we want to mail a let
ter we have to drive to Wausau. A
little interest in this may develop
quite territory for business and ii
will certainly help to make life easier
for many of us.
1 understand that there is a saloon
out this way that is selling liquor to
minors. Your detective force could
do some good for their country if
they would go out on a still hunt.
Saloons are no place for young boys"

SATURDAY, NOV Is, 1876.

Venison is plenty. The hunters are
having a good time as deer were
never more numerous.
HI. P. Maynard has established a
grocery and provision house in this
city.
James McCrossen has given a room,
rent free, in his splendid block at the
corner of Third and Scott streets, to
the young men of our city, who have
fitted up the same as club room.
We are to have new jail. The log
hut on the court house square is to
be torn down as soon as the new
building is finished The county
board has ordered plans for a new
jail, to be built on the county square.
True, we have little use for Jail,
but there are cases of insanity, inno-
cent persons being arrested on sus-
picion, ETC., and it is crime to lock
them up in such an old log house
pen, such as the county has furnished
in the years gone by.

Rev. j. A. Davenport, of Wausau, at

Charles w. Harger and Miss Kate
Scholfield.
The Pilot, in this issue, advocated,
in two column article, the carving
out of new county from Marathon
and Clark counties, taking in Colby,
Spencer and other towns. The article
ended thus; eff a territory like this,
with over 5000 people, are refused a.
county organization, we shall lose
faith in the wisdom of our legislators"
The attempt was made in the legis-
lature to have this territory set off
for new county and it failed.

tory of Tilden, was premature, for the
gentleman was counted out.

WORTHLESS CHECKS
Several Merchants Victimiaed by I'm
known Young Man.

Some of the local storekeepers have
been made wiser but poorer men
within the past week or ten days as
the result of being the victims of an
unidentified young man, who has
passed worthless checks upon them.
In one case the young man, who is
described as being tall and slender,
wearing mackinaw jacket, and
with several days growth of beard,
entered store and asked the pro-
prieter, if he could cash small
check, Sl1.35, Being Of kindly dis
position, the storekeeper cashed the
check. The stranger then purchased
two ten cent handkerchiefs and
walked out. He Immediately went to
another store, where kind hearted
clerk fell for the game, but to the
extent of SIS.
The checks referred to were drawn
on the First National bank of this
city and were made payable to David
Baker and bore the signature of
Charles Scott.--Stevens Point Journal

the alarm. 1t started in the cellar
between the McCrossen and Mercer
stores. 1t was found that this place
has a back entrance and boys had

smoking. 1t was extinguished before
much damage was done.

Chas. Frid]und, who has been in
poor health for a number of years,
was called home last Friday at 9:3O
