CHANGES THE HIGHWAY LAW

The compromise highway bill
passed by the senate last week, re
tains the state highway commission
and amplifies the functions of th'
county boards. The senate at tht
same time advanced the Hanson bill
creating a state department of engi
neering, which places road and 9th
er engineering and architectural ser
vice under one department, to be
headed by state chief engineer ap
pointed by the governor. To this
department will be referred all Ell
gineering matters from all boards
and departments.
The compensation of the chief
engineer will be fixed by the rail
road commission and approved by
the governor. He will be empow
cred to name assistants These ap-
pOintments will be made with ap-
proval of the department whose work
is to be supervised.
The highway bill provides a new
method of apportionment of state
aid to counties. 1t provides that the
state commission shall ascertain the
assessment valuation of each coun-
ty and that state aid shall be dis
tributed on the basis of that valu-
alton. The amount that towns may
raise by local taxation is limited to
2 mills for those with an assessed
valuation of under $600,000; 112
mills for towns under $1,0OO,000 val
uation, and 1 mill for towns with
more than $1,O0G,O00 valuation. BY a
vote, however, the
amount may be raised to double the
laid down in the law.
In case a county raises so much
money that the allotment of the
state is not sufficient, the county
board is authorized to pro rate the
state money among the towns which
make application.
The bill creates a new agency in
counties to take charge of road i'm
provement. This is the county-state
road and bridge committee, to be
elected by the county supervisors,
unless the supervisors delegate to
the chairman the authority to make
appointments. The committee may
consist of three or five members.
The office of county highway com
missioner is retained, with a provis-
ion that his salary be based on the
amount of expenditures for road
work in the county. He works un-
der supervision of the county road
committee instead of the state high
way commission. The state commits
sion may perform such engineering
service as the counties require
The state commission inspects and
approves all state aid roads.

OFFERS PREMIUM ON FLOWING
Editor News-Rudget:

Editor News-Budget;
AS you wish to know what the
object is of offering a premium on
ploWing, permit me to say that as
it is an agricultural fair We are to
have, and as plowing is one of the
most important things that a far
mer has to do, it is evident that the
quality, whether good or bad, is i'm
portant. In the older sections there
always is a strife to see who can
do the finest work The job involves
many things, the ability to drive a
team straight, keeping the plow in
the best of order, the ability to
make a law back-furrow and a slight
dead furrow, thereby giving a level
surface to the field. 1t is such
things as these that make farm work
interesting. A day never seems long
when a person is striving to do the
best work he can, and it is far
reaching. If a person makes an eff
fort to improve on some one branch,
his attention is soon attracted to
other things that can be improved,
and in this way he becomes noted
as one of the best farmers in the
Try it.
Owing to above facts the state
Bank of Ladysmith has seen fit to
offer premium on plowing.

ANOTHER DROWNED
FIFTH VICTIM TO FLAMBEAU IN
AND NEAR LADYSMlTH
THIS SUMMER
YOUNG MAN WAS IN SWIMMING
Gordon Hanson DroWns.-Compan
ions Try to Save Him But
are Unsuccessful,

The dark waters of the Flambeau
added another victim to their TOLL
of summers drownings Sunday af-
tern0on at 3 o'clock When Gordon
Hanson, 19 years old, of Barron,
succumbed to an attack of cramps
while bathing on the west shore
above the brooklyn" bridge, and
hack of the ]. W. Carow residence.
According to Ralph Cleary and
Ray Short, both of Ladysmith, who
were in bathing with Hanson at the
time, the latter complained of cramps
in his feet a few minutes before the
drowning occurred. Short advised
him not to attempt any more swim
ming in deep water, but Hanson de-
cided to swim out to a dead neau
about two rods from shore before
leaving the water. He succeeded in
reaching the dead head but the
water soaked log went down Win
his weight and as it went down he
began struggling. Short Immediately
went to his assistance and clutched
the drowning mans hair but Han
son, panic stricken, wound his arms
around his would-be-savior and they
both went down together. Snort
managed to extricate himself but lost
his hold on his friend who sank
helplessly to the bottom
When the young mans body did
not come to the surface again, Cleary
raced to town and summoned DR..
O'Connor Many others hearing OF
the drowning appeared on the scene
and several swimmers instantly went
into the water in an effort to re-
cover the body by diving. The water
was so dark that nothing could be
done in this manner and the work
was left solely to the boats whose oc-
cupants were dragging the bottom
in the vicinity of the drowning with
long poles to which rakes were at
tached. After about fifteen or
twenty minutes work, L. NJ Edlng
struck the body with his rake ana
managed to raise it to the surface
with the aid of two of the swim
mers. When the body was taken
ashore every effort possible was
made by DR.. O'Connor and his as
sistants to restore life through ar
tificial respiration and other first aid
applications, but to no avail. After
working over the body for three-Quar-
ters of an hour the doctor announced
that all life was completely extinct
so the body was removed to Elling-
Doe & Edlings undertaking parlors.
The deceased came from Barron,
the present home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Hanson, nine months
ago, since which time ne has been
employed at Kings restaurant in the
capacity of cook and waiter. A SIS
ter. Lilah Hanson, resides in Lady
smith and has been employed as
clerk at Thompson Mercantile Co. s
store
Deceased was a nephew of j. r.
Ducklow, of this city
John Hanson, the boys father and
son, Fred, came over from Barron
Sunday night and took charge OF
the remains. The body was taken
to Barron Tuesday and the funeral
was held there Thursday noon.
