SPECIAL SESSION OF co. BOARD.

The county board met in special ses-
sion Tuesday afternoon to consider the
question of levying a highway tax in
order to hold $4,000 in this county of
road tax levied 10y the state under the
state aid highway law. A resolution
to levy the tax, signed by VIM. Brandt
and Fred Wilsman, was read and after
some discussion pro and con a vote was
taken. Following is the resolution:
"Whereas, the majority of the towns
at their annual town meeting have failed
to appropriate moneys for the building
Of roads according TO section 1917 NJ
of the revised Sta'ut IS ar. sub divisions
thereto, and whereas, the county at
large will be compelled to pay its pro.
portionate state tax for counties and
towns that have raised and appropriated
money for such purpose outside of Man
itowoc county and of none that money
would be expended for the purpose of
building roads in the county of Manito-
woe.
Therefore, be it resolved that it is
the sense of this meeting that the
county of Manitowoc appropriate the
sum of So, 900 to be levied on the as
sessed valuation of the entire coInty,
for the purpose of building roads and
bridges in said county according to the
sections aforesaid and that said amounts
be distributed according to the assessed
valuation of each town, city and vii
lage, and that the supervisors of each
town, city and village be authorized to
designate on which state highways
said money is to be spent, and none of
said moneys to be spent on the high
ways or streets in the cities of Manito-
voc or Two Rivers"

In order to hold SIG, 1000 in the coun-
ty we have to be taxed $4,000 more
and the entire sum win be expended in
building a patch of road in every town
in the county, in sort OF crazy quilt
fashion. The wisdom of this action
may well be doubted. Besides the peo.
pie of the various towns at the spring
election voted against raising any
money under the state aid highway
law, with one exception. Then why
should the board override the will Of
the peopley To man up a tree II
looks like an arbitrary act.

PARTIES ORGANIZE.

At the September primary each vo-
ter can write on the ballot at a place
provided for that purpose the name OF
a person to represent his town or ward
on the party's county committee.
Hardly anyone pays attention to this
provision. In some towns and wards
no one receives two votes. These two
county committees so chosen met last
Saturday in the court house pursuant
to law and elected officers and listened
to speeches by party workers. In the
Republican meeting the striking feat
ure was the surface harmony among
the three factions-Conservatives, La
Follettites and Moosers (McGovernites)
The Independent Moose movement Is
only a memory in Wisconsin. r. G.
Plumb, the Roosevelt leader in 1912, is
on the Republican executive commit
tee. The Triple Entente lected the
following officers to guide the destinies
of the Republican party in the county
for the next two years: Chairman,
Frank Riley of Two Rivers; Secretary,
Frank Nraney; Treasurer, Charles
Hacker. The Executive Committee is
made up of II. G.. Plumb, DR.. F. H.
Gehbe, l.. w. Ledvina, c. +. Brady,
John Lorfeld, Edward Bedell and Nor
man Torriso1. Plumb, Gehbe and
Torrison are Mc'Govern lieutenants.
The talk was cheerful but the hopes OF
the County ticket is evidenced by the
fact that for half of the Offices no one
had cared to file nomination papers.
The blanks were ti'led AZ che orin ary
by writing in.
The Democrats met at the same
time. The officers elected were. Chair
man, Herman Schuette; Secretary,
William Willinger; Treasurer, Henry
Groth. Walter Pellet declined to
serve longer as treasurer but turned
over n cash balance of $40 90, something
new in local political financing There
hasn't been Republican county officer
for four years, except Judge Schmidt
who was elected as bipartisan, and
the Democrats evince determination
to continue this idyllic situation.
The following are the county COM
mttees chosen at the primary or at the
meeting Saturday in cases where no
committee man was elected at the
primary.

John Bibinger has grown to be n
better man since he became L. S.
officer. John was always good citi-
zen, but he kept dog, a yellow-eyed,
fierce looking brute. The dog was one
dark stain on his owners record. On
Tuesday morning he became angelical-
Iy reflective and shot the dog. There
is heap of good things in that Bibin-
ger. In the first place he never
boasted of having beer in the army
and now he kills an ugly brute of a
dog. In the good time coming John
will have a seat right near the throne.

rebels, by which $500 of our cattle
were stolen and number of our men
captured. 1t was daring affair and
from its daring nature met with a

p. S.-No steamboat arrived yester-
day, but as we go to press we learn
that the schooner Transit brings the
cheering news that 5000 rebels and
several guns have been bagged by our
forces in Virginia. AS the newspaper
containing the news, has not been

Sheridan deserve praise for this new
ccess-probably the latter.

Henry Hinrichs reached Baltimore
last week, on his way from Germany.
He was on ship board during the great
storm which swept the Atlantic. For
time it seemed as II the steamer
would go under. People fell TO pray
ing and weeping. At this critical mo-
ment Henry started TO sing and was
joined by number Of others. This
quieted the panic, and when he left
the boat at Baltimore he was cheered
by the assengers. No donbt Henry
felt easy because Of his skill acquired
in swimming in the river at this place.

DOINCS IN THE AUTO WOLD
American Car Last Motor Car Pass From Austria Italy Every Type of Motor Vehicles Will be Displayed a, Psnama-Pac6c Exposition.

4 motor ear bearing q party Of ees. ton people figured h one ef the most exciting escapes Of foreigners from war-rent Europe. The flight led over the summit of tho Alpine Stelvio pass, the loftiest in Europe traversed by g. carriage road.
 The tightening intensity Of the sit- uation warned them to lose no time in fleeing for neutral territory. The party at once resolved to rely upon its machine. Train schedules had been abandoned and tourists were terTi- lied, fbut the way over the Alps was still open, and MT. Hoyt made for It.
 On, the snow-draped summit of the pass two stones beside the road mark the international boundary between Austria and Italy, Hating his ma chine. the American paused to hand the guard the papers which had au- thorized him to travel by automobile in Austria His bond was returned and the party fingered q while to observe the beauties of the place before start ing the descent into Italy,
 After 8 moment they were abruptly informed by an Austrian official that war had been declared, that no more motor cars might cross the pass, and that the party must return down the Austrian side.

CONNIE MACK DEFENDS ON
 PLANK AND BENDER
Two Mainstays Who Have Figured in
 Four Worlds Series.

Business with the Athletics has set-
 tied down to the annual task of get ting Chief Bender and Eddie Plank in shape for the worlds series. These
 two veterans who have been the
 mainstays of the Mackian team in
 four worlds series, will, beyond any
 doubt, be the ones on whom Con-
 nie Mack will place his dependence
 this season. Each is 8 great money
 pitcher and if the Boston Braves are
 able to do as well against the crafty
 red skin ard the Gettysburgh south
 paw as Boston fans hope, they will
 be accomplishing a feat that has baked two of the best ball clubs The present championship of the Mackmen is the sixth that Connie has accounted for since he took charge of the called White Ele- phants back in 1901. He finished in 1912, fourth in 1901 and 1906. second in 1903, 1907 and 1909. third fifth in 1904. sixth in 1908. His first pennant came in 1902, but there was no worlds series that year, the American league being regarded as outlaw in those days. Mack led another championship club in 1905, l but as worlds series outfit It | proved as much of a failure as the Detroit teams of later seasons. The Athletics managed to get one game l out of five with the Giants, and 1n l the other four they did not score a l run. But this happened in other days The team that has just won its fourth pennant in the past five years has se, up a record for worlds series tri- umphs that is likely to stand for many wears to come.

could sit down and talk intelligently to me of the wonderful roads of Cali fornia, even though a large number had never been in that state. Many knew that there were 365 side trips for automobiles from San Francisco, none of them requiring more than 24 hours to make.
 'T don't know why it is, but it is a fact that auto men know more about the exposition than any other class of men, and as for exhibits along that line, am certain that the exposition will have the finest collection of cars that the world has ever seen."
 Capt. Asher Carter Baker, director of the division of exhibits at the ex- position, is planning to announce the name of exhibitors soon and at a later date a description of tn eexhibits Space in the Palace of Transportation is being allotted at present and the applications of automobile men are now receiving the attention of the division of exhibits.

 If I told you how many autoists are planning to drive across the con tinent to the exposition next year you would believe that was either crazy or suffering from an attack of 'op- timisa,'" said MT. Mccormick.
 'T paid particular attention to the attitude of automobile owners, manu- lecturers and operators while on my tour and I can assure you that I was greatly surprised to see the large number that are planning to drive to the exposition. Everywhere I went found that the men who owned auto mobiles knew that California was third in ownership among the states and that every one of them had taken the trouble to find out why such was the case. Why, I found men in small cities and even in New York who

 Under the conditions it is said that the Yale rowing authorities are in favor of triangular race with Prince ton and Cornell. Yale rowed such a race last May at Ithaca and one at Princeton two years ago. 1t Is ex- pected that Yale will be allowed to make the place for the race, but 1t will not be in New Haven, as there are not adequate facilities Yale picked Springfield as the place for the tri- angular race three years ago and Is known to be partial to holding the next race at the same place. It may be, however, that Yale will find 1t ex- pedient to hold but two races during the season, one with Princeton at Princeton and the annual with Har- ward.
