J. d. Christie, chairman of the
county board introduced the follow
ing memorial to the legislature
which was carried unanimously:
fne Marathon County Board Oh
supervisors, through its sixty-three
members present in regular session
assembled, unanimously petitions the
legislature of the state as follows:
/. That Marathon County favors
good roads. That the members of this
board unanimously favor good roads
and are in sympathy with the good
roads movement.
2. That the so-called Estate Aid
Law has not worked satisfactorily,
and in common with the people of
Marathon county, this board unani-
mously condems the present law as
hereinafter indicated.
3. We condemn the principle of
this and other laws, which compel
counties, not electing to do so, to pay
taxes for the construction of roads
and bridges in other and remote
counties III this state.
4. We condemn the operation of
the present law and believe that the
expenses of administration of this
law will result in not only the repeal
of the law, but tends to delay the
entire good roads movement.
5. We especially condemn the oper-
alton of this law because it takes
more money from the taxpayers of
this county than the county receives
and because che law carries with it
an arbitrary 'fine" whereby any
county not desiring to obtain the so-
called estate aid' is compelled to pay
taxes to benefit other counties.
s. We fail to see any state aid''
In q law that takes from the people
as a whole approximately 81 and pays
them back 65c, retaining 35c for ad-
ministration.
I. We believe the law should be
SC amended that it shall only be
operative in those counties electing
by resolution of their county board
to come within its provisions and
that no state tax be levied against
any county not electing to come
within its provisions for highway
purposes.
8. We favor and demand the fol-
lowing legislation: (a) No state SUI
peryision of county or town high
ways. (b) No state tax for roads or
bridges to be levied upon any county
in the state. (cl A compulsory law
requiring counties to elect as per-
manent county official, a county su-
perintendent of highways, and fix his
salary at not less than $1,000 per an
nun, such official to be answerable
solely to the county board. We favor
law to compel each county board
not under the state aid system TO
levy and expend on its roads an
amount of money each year, fixed by
the legislature on the valuation Of
each county, as a minimum sum, and
as much additional as the county
board may determine

SONS OF VETERANS.

A movement is on foot to organize
Camp of the Sons of Veterans in
the city, in view of making the or
ganization permanent and to assist

ssOld Veterans of the Civil War"
The move is an excellent one and
should meet with every success.
There are about thirty-tiye or forty
or more sons of veterans and grand

splendid Camp in Wausau. F. L.

THE SEASON OPENED.
The Woods Full OF Hunters all Anx-
ious to Shoot-Deer Seen From
Running Train.

Last Wednesday a good many nim-
rods went up into the woods to hunt
for deer, it being the first day of the
open season. The conductor of the
st. Paul train was telling bunch of
hunters that there were about 200
hunters who had gone up above Star
Lake the two days previous and as
many as 700 had gone upon the Boulder
branch of the road. He told them
that deer were plenty and one could
just see those hunters eyes dance
with joy at the prospect of shooting
one. AS the train sped along it
passed small tents and large tents,
and lettering about them, were men
with red caps on their heads carrying
their guns and it looked pretty much
as if northern Wisconsin was at war
and had armed forces in the field.
All at once, between Arbor Vitae
and Plum lake, deer was spied run
ming through the woods close to the
track. Every hunter reached for his
gun and danced about like band of
Indians The animal might have
been shot if there had been window
open and gun loaded for business,
in the hands of ''crack shot"
The hunters were somewhat ex-
cited over the rumor floating around
that placards had been put up on
trees on some 5000 acres of land pro-
hibiting hupting thereon. One hunt
er expressed himself thus: "That's
darn nice. thing; all OF us fellows
not allowed to hunt there; get busy
and drive the deer on to the reserve
acres for other fellows to kill"
Up in the deer country every body
is out hunting. The writer was up
in the Sayner and Minocqua district
on the day the season opened and
there wasn't man who had a gun
but who was off deer hunting. Even
boys twelve years old were out on
the runways. One hunter said, 81
was down by your cottage this morn
ing and pumped seven shots at deer
but he got away"
With the long carrying guns now
used, it is wonder that more are
not killed. One hunter made the
assertion that more men were killed
during the deer season in Wisconsin
than in the European war, during the
same length of time and the number
of men engaged being equal.
The report is that deer are plenti-
full this fall, hence we suppose there'll
be no necessity of one getting worked
up to the point where he cannot re-
sist taking shot at his fellow man.

Carry Own Luncheons When
Queen Tries to Cut Down

LONDON, Jan. u.-Queen Marys 5
economical propensities are now CEN
tered on the question of the expenses at
the royal shoots. Hitherto the custom
has been to provide two luncheon tables,
one for the ropal party and guests and
the other for equerries and minor house

dered only one table furnished, the
lesser personalities having to wait until
their superiors have finished. The
change was made at Sandringham this
week, when a majority of the equerries
declined the luncheon invitation, lunch
ing off sandwiches carried with them.
Arother incident caused great amuse-
rnenat Sandringham. 1t appears Prince
Henry invited two SchoOi friends for
weeks shooting after Christmas and
failed to inform his parents. When
finally he casually mentioned II every
room in York Cottage was filed with
guests. II was impossible TO make
room for the boys, and Queen Alexan-
ORA offered to accommodate them at
Sandringham, but Queen Mary refused
this arrangement, dispatching two
equerries to the boys homes to explain
why it was impossible to receive them
One was at home. The other. named
FalLham, a cousin of Sir Walter Camp

in Paris. where the equerry followed
him, only to find the boy had forgotten
all about the invitation.

SURVEYING IN Fsp NORTH
Work Has to Be Done Quickly or Party
10 In Grave Danger Of Being
Frozen In.

North of the Porcupine river, on the
upper section of the Alaska Canada
boundary survey. the geodesists as
signed to this work by the two gov

elapsed from the first navigation up

The highest and most difficult
climbs on the work were probably
made this last season, when one Of
the Canadian Typographical parties

high, and a joint American and Cana
dian party succeeded in getting up
without about two thousand feet Of
the summit of Mount st. Elias, which
towers $4,000 feet above the sea. This
