Why Concrete Roads Are Best

No form of macadam OF bituminOus road lower in
quality than El PasOs downtown streets is worth
building experimenting with for county roads
Sucha specification as that of downtown streets
would cost over $4,000 mile, 10 feet wide, and it
would cost $1,000 $1,000 mile annually to maintain
But standard concrete road viii cost not much more
than half so much as standard btuihic and the
crete would cost only SIS to $50 per mile per year
to maintain.
For variety of reasons the bitulithic is the best
pavement for our city Streets is worth the difference
IN cost between It and any other pavement for city
But it is too expensive for the country road system
1t is necessary to find cheaper road than standard
btuthiC and cement concrete without the slightest
doubt affords the cheapest and best practical sub
stitute
With concrete we should be trying experiment.
There are many millions Of yards in IN all the
states of the union There is the experience of many
years in hundreds of places to base judgment upon
We have two sample concrete roads here one at
the foot of the smeter viaduct and in front Of
the officers quarters at Fort Bliss.

SEEK ESCAPED coNvICTs.
Sheriff stahl is Ordered to Look for
''Bad Men" Supposed to be
Working Toward This City,

Sheriff Stahl received a message
from Warden Towne at the state pri-
son at Waupun this morning asking
that Kenosha county be searched in an
effort to get some trace of Oscar Berg
land of Bayfield, county, and Robert
Reed of Milwaukee, who escaped from
the state prison late Monday night.
The two men were at work in the pri-
son yard when they scaled the wall and
managed to elude the guards and got
away. Bergland had been sentenced
to term of four years and Reed to
three. It is claimed that the guards
from the prison followed the tracks of
the men to Chester where they are sup
posed to have had help. The search is be-
ing made in this county on account
of the fact that Bergland is said to
have at one time resided in Kenosha.
No trace of either of the men has been
found in Kenosha.

HOLDS TYPHOID AN ACCIDENT.
State Supreme Court Makes Ruling of
Greatest Interest TO Manufact-
urers of the State.

That typhoid fever contracted while
performing services growing out of
and incidental to employment" is an
accident as construed by the work
men IS compensation act, was the deci-
sion of the supreme court Tuesday
morning in the case of Vennen VS.. the
New Dells Lumber company, Eau
Claire, This is one of the most unique
and far reaching decisions ever hand
ed down by the supreme court of Wis
consin and the only one on the subject
ever decided in the United States.
Vennen drank water while in pursuit
of his duties. 1t was polluted. He
contracted typhoid fever and died
The New Dells company fled notice of
election to accept the workmen IS COM
pensation act. The demurrer of the
widow was overruled by the circuit
court at Eau Claire and Tuesdays de-
cision upholds the verdict of the lower
court. This decision opens up an en-
tirely new field for the workmen s
compensation act. 1t is impossible at
this time to accurately predict just
how far reaching the effect will be,
but one effect will undoubtedly be that
employers in the state will take many
hitherto neglected steps to provecs
themselves from actions of this kind by
added sanitation measures.

CALL JURY FOR MONDAY.
Work of the October Term of the
Municipal Court to be Resumed

The work of the municipal court for
the October term will be resumed on
next Monday morning and Clerk John
Wattles has called the jury for this
time. 1t is not expected that the
jurors viii be in service for more than
two or three days. But one criminal
case remains on the calendar for trial
and it is understood that the defendant
in this case is to make a settlement
with the court without the assistance Of
the jury. The case of the State vs.. Mae
Molter Bull is pending, but the defen-
dant was held to the January term of
the circuit court and there is little rea-
son to believe that her attorneys will
make any effort to have the case set for
trial on next Monday. On the civil
calendar there are five or six cases
which have been set for trial, but il all
Of them are tried the hearings should
be concluded in two days 1t looks
now as if the court term would be of
exceedingly short duration.

mysteries ever put up to the Chicago
police was recently in Kenosha. He
came here with the expressed purpose
of placing orders for the Russian Gov
ernment. Voorhees, is known to have
interviewed one of the leading manu-
facturers of the city and he offered a
proposition along the line of war equip
ment. He was asked to show his ere
dentials and when these were found to
be unsatisfactory the manufactures re-
fused to consider the matter further
This was about month ago. Voorhees,
at that time claimed to be an accredit-
ed agent for the Allies in this country
but his credentials failed to show that
he had any official standing. The local
man interviewed was under the impress
sion that he was acting as a go-between
for some other parties.
