side, Oregon today for an extended
visit with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

weeks and his condition was not con-
sidered favorable few days ago, but
we are pleased to chronicle his i'm
proved condition.
Rollin Kilborn, who usually spends
the summer months in Audubon. left
the fore part of the week for Texas
where he will remain for the winter.
He likes to be in Audubon, but the
changable Iowa climate is not suit
able so prefers to winter elsewhere.
But he says you may look for me in
the spring and l will help to enjoy
the paved streets.
Adolph Wolf, who has been look
ing after his farm near Yuma, Colo,
was in the city the fore part of the
week. Adolph looks mighty we'll de-
spite the fact that he passed through
a cyclone last spring. He says crop
conditions are the very best in his
part of the country. He was unable
/ to remain away long. so was compell-
ed to return home today.
Mrs. G. A. Green has moved her
household goods to Gray where she
will live for the winter and keep
house for her daughter, Miss Florence
who is a teacher in the Gray public
schools. Mr.. Green, who has been
having q serious time with his leg
has gone to the Presbyterian hospital

The matter OF making the organiza-
ton permanent was taken up and a
committee consisting Of Messrs. Car
penter winkler and Broad was ap-
pointed TO dran a constitution and by
laws.
Asked for suggestions there was a
free discussion as to the name and
membership and It was the general
opinion that the organization should
be called the Upper Peninsula Road
Builders Assn and that the contract
ors engaged in actual road con-
struction should be included.
The next place OF meeting Will be
at the 500 and If possible IL will be
held in the summer time during the
month of August but If II Is found
impracticable to hold il then the
meeting will be held one year from
this week
The engineers left Crystal Falls

with their visit to the place aud most
OF them promising TO be on hand when

Indians but IT'S memories are still
green in the minds of many OF our
pioneers
Many good man hit" that trail in
the early days. They were young men
then, seeking their fortunes in the
wilderness of this upper peninsula
Some of them have grown 10 be
splendid business men and scored
great successes i'm life II is told OF
one man prominent business man
and politician of Minnesota before his
death several years ago that he was
unable to make the trip because Of a
lack of boots and that he helped him
self to a pair belonging TO an Iron
River merchant in order to make the
trip.
The journey was one OF hardship az
all times and OF danger at some sea-
sons when the lakes were rough. To
avert the danger the travellers used to
detour around the lakes but there
were many swamps to cross in this
detour and the distance was much
greater.

surveys in the winter time and de-
tailed his method OF work in 0ntona-
gon county where. on account Of his
not getting on the job until winter
had set in and his county desiring 10

found II necessary 10 do his survey

Mr.. Morton stated that in some
cases the snow was so deep that just
the head cf'his instrument protruded
above the snow level when 1t was set
UP.
Several engineers gave their exper-
fences and Mr.. Winkler brought down
the house with the statement that he
ran lines over about l5miles OF road

up their end OF the discussion while
another young man from the furnace
which turns out Keystone Copper cul-
vert iron was present to look after the
interests OF that iron.
The Armco man had lantern and
threw upon screen a number OF
pictures showing his iron from the pig
iron yard TO the finished sheet. The
views were very interesting. The
Armco people aim 10 get as close TO a
pure iron as possible. They heat TO q

material. This statement was yigor-
ously refuted by the Keystone man
who claimed that certain per cent OF
copper is the very best preventative
OF corrosion.
Prof. Cox took the floor and he side
swiped both claims. Prof. Cox is on a
committee that has been examining
culverts all over the state for the past
year with view TO getting exact In
formation on the action OF the ele-
ments upon corrugated culverts.
lie gave II as his opinion thar gall
yanized iron culyerts is a needless ex-
pehdture for the reason that inyari-
ably there exists upon culyert made
OF galvanized iron spots where the
spelter has been knocked OF from one
cause or another, thus leaving ex-
posed the bare iron and the strength
OF culyert is the strength OF its
weakest part.
Prof. Cox found fault with the Gull
vert manufacturers AialhiAhh 'H"'
careless manufacture is responsible
for the imperfect riviting that exists in
large proportion OF corrugated cul-
verts
From the partial Investigations al
ready completed Prof. Cox is Of the
opinion that the road official Is get
ting better values by buying thicker
black sheets, thus putting the extra
cost OF galyanlzing into more iron
which IL will take the elements longer
TO rust through. Another recommen-
dalton Prof Cox made Is that no cor
rugated pipe culyert should be in
stalled closer than one foot below the
surface OF the road.
The culyert session was exceedingly
interesting and when Prof. Cox com
mittee has its report ready upon cul-
verts in this state some valuable in
formation will be available.

TRAPPING BEAVER
BY SPECIAL PERMIT

Canon City, April 3.-Under special
permit from the state game warden,
County Commissioner W. H. Pigg. has
trapped and killed 35 beaver in the
Arkansas river along the Parkdale Co
topaz highway. Under the protection
of the Colorado game laws beaver have
increased SO rapidly in recent years
that the waters of the Arkansas and its
tributaries are now swarming with these
animals. In some places in the Canon
City district they have become So
rious menace to the orchards along the
irrigating, canals, hut cutting down the
apple and other fruit trees. Along the
river the cottonwood and the aspen are
the favorite feed and dam building ma
terial for these animals. ., In fact, their
depredations became 50 extensive along
the river that there was danger Of them
telling all the groves Of these treeA
which were being preserved for puf-
poses of shade and beauty in the var'-.
Gus camping grounds along the Park
dale -Cotopaxi road. Mr.. Pigg as one
of the county commissioners was given
special oversight over this road. Be-
ing an expert hunter and trapper he
set about to rid this section of the
river of its surplus beaver. The ami
mails were caught in steel traps in the
vicinity of their dams. 1t is under
stood that one-half of the sum realized
from the salf of the pelts goes to the
state. ..

not SO. much question of fact to be
determined by the legislature as it is a
question that should be determined by
the courts. He holds that the power CT

tends to this language when used by
the legislature in the construction of
the statute. He claims that the courts
have so held in the state of Washing
ton.
Bulger Case Is Well Known to All
Justice White wrote the opinion in
the Bulger case and was dissented to by
Justices Hill and Scott. The case is
well known to Colorado readers. Bulger
killed Nicodemus during drunken
spree. He was tried, sentenced to be
executed, carried his case to the su-
preme court and the sentence was af-
firmed. His attorneys then raised tho
question IS to his sanity since the trial.
They appeared before the supreme
court and secured an order that tho
district court should grant the man a
trial Is to his sanity. The case was
heard in the district court and jury
pronounced him sane. His attorneys
then sought to have the supreme court
review the sanity trial. The ,attor,ey
general moved that the papers filed IN
the case be stricken from the records
Of the supreme court ON the groand
that the case was not . case that cold
be acted upon by the court. u,
There are legal technicalities at N,
most every step in the entire case, liat
the above is brief outline of it shssa
Of the legal questions that have ha,n
raised. Justice White in his. opi.isn
holds that under the law, the. applisa.
tion Of the attorney ssnsral. il lsNl
and his request should be sranted, thsas-
fore, the entire case is dismissed sad
unless the governor interferes Buless
must hang. The opinion holds that
where man is supposed to have b.
come insane after he has been tried and
convicted the judge who tried him csa
determine whether or not the man is
insane. The law does not provide how
the judge shall determine the question.
In this case it was determined by a
jury and, according to the supreme
court, there is no review Of such case
by the supreme court provided in our
statute. Therefore, the supreme court
has no power to review and the trial IN
the district court definitely settles the
matter.
Justice Scott in 90 page dissenting
opinion maintains that the court should
review the case and he further main
tains that Bulger did not have fair
nor q just trial regarding his sanity
and that the Bulger trial stands with
out precedent or parallel in our juris.
prudence, Justice Scott Is very EN-.
phatic in his position. he reviews the
testimony in the sanity case at some
length.
