Good Roads question.

. M
Frank w. Buffum. state highway
commissioner now in ATTENDANCE on
the legislature, will not try to intro
duce n good roads bills before the
assembly.
." know" said Commissioner Buff
fun. that almost every member OF
the legislature will have some kind
of a good roads bill TO introduce"
Buffum said he felt the principal
need of the highway commission was
an increase in the appropriation
which would allow the employment
Of a corps of expert engineers to
counsel with the county organizar
tions Of the state regarding the selec-
ton Of good road routes. He said
that while the county courts were
trying to do the right thing, very few
Of them really knew anything about
good-road building, and the assist
ance of a corps of road engineers
would save the state many thousands
of dollars, aBnffam hopes d. law of
this kind will be passed.
He said he was eppesed to a law
for Missouri corresponding to the
'Tice bin of Illinois. which provides
that a permanent hard road shall be
built through, every, county in the
state each year, the state to pay one
half and the county ohe-half. The
building of the road, however, is OPP
tional on the vote Of the taxpayers
OF the county. Buffum said large
cities in Illinois make the Tice law
practical, but it would not work in
Missouri.

remarked to a New Yorker, "but when
one gets well inland the fresh lobster
becomes a bit more Of a novelty. Not
that we don't Get plenty Of Holsters in
Montana, but, naturally, there they're
not as numerous as down here, and
they are regarded as more Of a luxury.
This fact was brought to my atten-

Butte. / got in on a rather late train
and went into a restaurant about nine
o'clock in the evening for dinner. l

I'VE amt got any grouse was the
reply. The only game we have is lob

ward Mills, who confessed that it had
netted him $4,000 in the last year.

ever, and he will serve an indetermi-

tertiary as the result of sentence by
Judge W. G.. Leary, before whom he
pleaded guilty" to a charge Of at
tempted grand larceny on complaint
of Ralph Wellington, claim agent Of
the Duluth Street Railway company.
All that Mills has done TO separate,
$4,000 from railroads, street railway
companies and merchants within the
last year has been to fall PROSTATE
over a suitcase in the aisle or any
obstacle on the sidewalk, gasp for
breath and allow his left hand to hang
limp from the wrist. Six rides has
he taken in ambulances, six fair
nurses have smiled at him as the
color slowly returned to his face.
Five claim agents have drawn checks
against their companies and as many
times has Mills pocketed the same.
Some Claims Paid.
Among the recent settlements made
with Mills, according to his story in
court, are:
Kennedy Brothers, $500; Northern
Pacific, $1,000; Great Northern, $125;
Great Northern, $3.50; St. Paul Street
Railway company, $3.50.
