RECEIVED $50, 100000 CASH
Iron County Has Drawn that Amount
In Reward Plus Four Bridges

The wisdom OF Iron countys geti
ting in early in the road building
game is becoming more apparent
with every passing day. II will be re-
membered that several years ago
when a bond issue was proposed to
complete our roads one OF the argu-
ments made was that we would get at
least Copper cent of the expenditure
back in state reward II looks now as
If we will get closer to Upper cent of
il for the records show that to date
this county has been paid s62,OOO00
in cash in addition to getting four
bridges built. The cost OF the four
bridges is $22,O0O00 so that in reality
we have received $S4,OO0OO from the
state.
We bonded for $2OO,OOO.OO in all;
$25,0O000 worth of those bonds have
already been retired by state re-
ward money and we have now on de.
posit $27,O00.O0 with which to retire
the principal and an application of g.
per cent interest each year to credit |
against the interest on the outstand- !
ing bonds.
We have drawn state reward upon /
about 65 per cent OF our trunk line SO /
that IL can readily be seen that Iron
county will have nice chunk OF \
money coming each year for some
time and as this reward money can
be used only To retire bonds, the
amount of bonds left TO be taken up
when all the reward money is in will
be quite small.
The county commissioners receiv-
ed payment OF $2l ,69SOO last week
10 apply upon state reward. Earlier
in the year a payment Of 100000 was
received.

There were two predominating
features, dread and timidity, in the
thoughts and actions of Ralph Bur-
ton as the leap year came in and he
was made the target of organized
menace and raiIery on the part of
those. who fancied they could play
upon his weaknesses.
You're a selected victim, Bur-
toni" declared more than one Of the
little town club of which he was
member a
ooh, he'll never escape through
the month"; insisted others. you'd
better keep away from the trap Of So
cial functions"
81 rarely favor them" observed
Burton gravely.
'And have a bodyguard,' was the
furter advice. 81 understand that
the girls clubs laid out a regular pro-
gram with dates and victims. Not
an unmarried man in the town will
escape"
Eyes, and a well-fxed individual
like Burton will be the especial OBJ
ject of persecution"
Ralph Burton smiled, but it was
not a natural smile. Nature had
awarded him a shrinking, seIf-depre-
eating element and he had never bat
tied it. At % he found himself a re-
served young bachelor with an in
born generation for all womankind,
yet bashful and retiring. If he had
ever loved he had never been able to
summon up the courage to confess
the fact to the object of his adora-
ton.
"a confirmed woman hater," was
the snappy Ultimatum Of more than
one of those disappointed, for in in
teIIigence and fortune Burton was
most eligible party.
