READY To MARK
FERGUS ROADS
COUNTY SURVEYORS OFFICE RE-
CElVES STEEL SIGNS FOR
CROSSROADS.
NINETY signs IN THE FIRST LOT

A shipment OF the first lot of steel
signs to be placed at leading cross
roads in Fergus county by the county,
has just been received by County Sur
veyor Miller. There are so signs in
this shipment, and more will be re-
ceivcd and placed from time to time.
The signs are very neat, and the
wording is plain and with no chance
for a misunderstanding as the arrow
points to the town named, and Figures
tell the number Of miles distant.
For instance sign will read "For-
est Grove. Is miles" with the arrow
pointing in the proper direction. These
signs have been ordered for some of
the principal crossings, where leading
roads branch off, and are likely to be
misleading. They will serve as a great
guide to autoists and travellers in gen
eral, especially to strangers.
The work OF erecting the signs will
start next week when S. l.. Ramey
of the surveyors office will probably
be assigned to the task, as he is ia
miliar with the entire county, having
worked all over it. 1t will be big
job to get the signs all erected at the
proper places.

GAME WARDENS WEAVER AND
eERkiN SECURE A GOOD
LOCATION.
WORK Of TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT

Game Wardens J. NJ Weaver and
T. A. Berkin have decided to establish
offices in the new Chamber of Com
merce headquarters as soon as those
offices are moved. For some time
past, the local game wardens have
maintained no offices here, but at the
suggestion of the Chamber of Com
merce directors, they considered the
proffered desk space favorably. In,
this way all calls for them will be
answered from the chambers office,
all application for fish fry received
and taken care of, and other matters
pertaining to their duties dispatched
at once. Also, people who wish to
get in touch with either one or both
will benefit by. their definite location.
The Traffic Bureau.
All departments of the chamber
will be represented in the roomy new
quarters, and within the last year the
work has branched out in several di-
rections. The traffic department,
which was established last june, un-
der the direction Of Neil Bannon, one
OF the foremost rate men of the state,
has fulfilled it's purpose very success
the constantly increasing volume Of
business.
Many of the business houses have
taken advantage OF this department
and with practical results, as is seen
in the following returns reported. Dur
| ing the four mouths ending September
|, there has been over $1,000 worth
of claims put in for adjustment, and
Of this amount $500 has been paid
and the balance pending. 1t is we'll
worth the while of any business man
to know that his freight charges are
correct, whether he gets actual cash
return or not. From the towns stand
point, a traffic bureau figures much
in it's development as distributing
point and the department is asked
many times a day to get rates on all
sorts of commodities. There is a COM
plete file Of tariffs in the office of all
railroad and steamship companies,
west of the Ohio river, and any tariff
question or problem is quickly de-
termined.

MCCARTHY TO BOX DILLON OR
jim SAVACE..IN BRO0KLy yn
THE BOUT WILL BE STAGED AT
ERBETT'S FIELD ON DAY OF
OCTOBER 12.

1t is more than likely that Tommy
Mccarthy the Lewistown heavy
weight, will box Jack Dillon of In
dianapolis, a third time. as yester-
day arrangements were closed for a
bout in Brooklyn, N Y, at Ebbetts'
Field, with Mccarthy as the prin-
cir&l. against either Jack Dillon or
Tim Savage of New Jersey Dillon
is more than likely to be the final
collection. as Etbetts' Field has been
putting on men of topnotch ability
only, and as Mccarthy easily beat
Savage last year at his initial bow
in New York, the tougher game, Dill
Ion, is the probable opponent to get
the call. In the two previous con-
tests the decisions were draws. In
the first contest at Brooklyn between
Dillon and Mccarthy, the latter had
the edge, but in their recent Lewis
town bout, Dillon had slight shade.
Sc the men arc evenly matched and
each will go out to win the third as
decisively as possible.
The date for the bout is October
i2, and the winner will he in line to
hox the winner Of the Moran-Coffey
bout which takes place a week later.
Mccarthy has had a long rest since
last spring when his eyes were in
iured. but he mas finally recovered
from that. and in a short while will
! be in his best form again. During the
past six weeks he met Dillon and
Bodie. His friends expect him to dup
| licate his eastern successes of last
year, and to do so on bigger scale
which may result in his meeting Viii

rounded by a train of loaded
llamas.
This altitude of Is, 600 feet is
the highest ever attained by a

in the town of Potosi, have
shown that the Ford in spite of
the very natural difficulty of
vaporization can climb to an a
titude of $1,000 feet without
