a-shopping for the real furs we'll
wear when Jack Frost comes along
with eager and hipping" breeze
August may be ever so swelter-
ing. but It's the appointed time to
buy your winter f,irs. The new
models are now ready for ipspec-
tion--the football NUNS, the ribbon
scarfs. the swirling coats and some
other novelties Dame Fashion has
devised TO keep women folk comfy
and pretty in winter time.
But the best news that comes
from the furriers Is that furs will
re cheaper this season than they
nave been for several seasons past.
And the decline In prices is said TO
be due to the turmoil In Europe, for
war works havoc with fashions, and
except the cheaper skins used to
clothe the soldiers. very little fur
is crossing the ocean this summer.
Exports In fur last April were
3404,O57. in contrast to S7s6,21s In
the same month In 1914.
This falling of In the European
demand means that America will
keep the greater part Of her fur
harvest at home. the supply Will
be large and the prices will be cor.
respondingly small.
As to styles. the most radical
change Is noted In the coats, and
fur coats will be worn q great deal

loaded up with them. NUNS and

street committee went over the valley
of Saunders creek from the Rock river
mouth through town, with a view of
devising some means to avoid the
spring freshets and overflow of the
property along the stream. AS re-
suit of his visit the council authorized
Mr.. Wheeler to prepare rough sketch
of plan to straighten and dredge the
creek bed at an expense Of $3.50 for the
drawing. Just what the scheme he
proposes will amount to none can yet
tell, but as part of the stream lies out
side the city, if the aim is to go ahead
with the improvement, we suggest that
petition for the formation of drain
age district be set in motion without
any further preliminaries.

Work Under Way at Fulton Dam.

John M. Roherty, young contract
ing engineer of Madison, has been CIV
en- the contract for repairing the race
way of the Fulton dam, washed out in
the recent flood, and began work on
the fill this week.
While the Fulton dam proper is in
tact, the resulting damage from the
high waters washed out the embank-
ment for length of about ninety feet
at the east end of the structure. For
the past two years trouble has been
experienced here and it has now been
decided by the electric company that
the most appropriate manner to offset
this annual loss lies in the extension of
the old dam.
Mr.. Roherty will build huge cement
cribs, practically cement boxes, rein
forced with steel These will be low
cred on the river bottom in the gap
Following this excavation beneath the
cribs will permit them to sink to a
QepCn Sun1clenC TO warrant Cnelr sud
bility or until sound bottom is reached.
When the line of cribs is in place, each
will be filled with loose stone and the
surface covered with cement, making
the string of cribs a solid dam addition
of steel, cement and rock. A system
of flash boards will be installed on the
new section.
Mr.. Roherty has also been given the
contract for a new sewer extension at
New Glarus and water works extern
sion at Monticello. He is the son of j.
S. Roherty of Center and a grandson
of Mrs. Mary Leary of this city. He
graduated from the engineering depart
ment of the university few years ago.
