PAVING COMES UP
COMMISSION TO ACT ON PETt-
TIONS NEAT MONDAY NIGHT
PROTESTS TO BE MADE.

Whether Egan ayenue Will be
paved from the Milwaukee railway
tracks between Second and Third
and if not. what proportion, if any,
shall be paved this year, will prob
ably be known at next Monday nights
regular meeting of the city commits
sion.
Two largely signed consent petit
tions, one asking for paving from the
Milwaukee railway TO Seventh street.
and the other providing for paving
from Seventh street 10 Thirteenth
street. have been filed with the city
commission. For the last five weeks
the necessity and ACCESSIBILITY of paw
ing the two sections of Egan avenue
have been advertised, as is required
by law.
Property owners, who would be af-
fected by the proposed Improvement
have until next Monday night to
make objection to the %surfacing.
Men who own lots along the strip it
is proposed to pave have circulated a
petition, protesting against starting
the work. 1t is their intention, they
say, to present the protest to the
commission next Monday night.
Under the law, it will require the
names of the owners of So per cent
of the property AUDITING on the line
of the proposed Improvement to block
the work.
Claus Hexom, one of those instru-
mental in circulating the %antipaying
petition, said this morning that he
did not known whether enough sigma
lures had been obtained TO assure the
postponing Of the paving. Mr.. HeXom
said he had been out of town all the
week. and that he was unaware OF
the progress that had lately been
made by his co-workers. MIR. HeXom
explained that the objection to the
street |surfacing hinged largely on the
manner in which the cost Of paving
street intersections is assessed. He
said that while the city had decided
that the cost of paving street inter
sections must be borne proportionate-
ly among interested property owners.
the expense Of s~urfacing crossings i'm
other cities had been paid by the
municipality. Mr.. HeXom also told
that his coherents objected 80 having
the paving laid before new water
works mains are installed on Egan
avenue.

MADISON LOSES
FAST ELkTON TEAM TAKES 10.
GALS INTO CAMP BY 81 TO
10 SCORE.

Playing in championship form be
fore a fair sized crowd, the Elkton
high school team took the second
game from the local high school team
last night to the score of "a to Is.
The game was fast and furious
throughout, both teams displaying
the kind of basket ball that was full
of brilliant plays and spectacular bas-
ket shots.
Elkton took the lead early in the
first half and was never headed
throughout the game, although at
times spurts of team work by the
locals oc%casioned extra effort on the
part of the Elktonians.
Kearney, the visitors center, al
though a marked man, played in won
derful form, being everywhere at
once and throwing goals from diff
cult angles, totaling 20 points for his
team. For the home team no indi-
vidual star could be picked, all five
playing hard and consistent ball, al
though having a team of much more
experience and speed against them.

Are you good looking? Are your
gowns in good style? Never before
in the history of home decoration
were the answers to these questions
SO bound up with your walls as they
are today.
OF course you are going to have a
wall change this season. This year
will be a leader year in plain back
grounds. Not only will this be no
ticeable in a single room, but har-
monious tints will be carried through
out an entire floor, so that rooms
opening into one another will not
present a great contrast to the eye.
The beauty of soft tinted walls is that
in their softness and plainness they
set off to advantage any gown and
any room accessory. Your good
looks, the good style of your clothes
both depend to an extraordinary de-
gree on the kind of walls you have.
Let us assist you in selecting your
wall decorations.

ROADS in bad WAY
SUNSHINE WILL LEND HEALTHY
STIMULUS TO TRADE IL THE
GENERAL OPINION.

Continued sunshine, if of only a
few days duration, will usher in a
healthy squirt in general trade con
ditions in Madison, ii is believed by
local business men. While pre-sea-
son trading here has come fully up to
expectations, and a large number
from the country transacted business
in town today, the generally bad con
dition of roads during the last week
has kept away from town many farm
ers, it is reported by those who have
recently travelled over the rural high
ways.
1t is pointed out that in many in
stances, farmers, especially those liv-
ing some distance from the city, do
not like to make trips to the city
with empty wagons. The state of the
roads, of late, has been such as to
make heavy teaming impracticable, if
not impossible, it is said.
Farmers who were in the city to-
day told that bare or muddy stretches
of road alternate with strips of snow,
making travel on wheels difficult,
and progress on runners next to inn
possible. Travelling men in the city
today said that similar conditions OBJ
tain in all quarters of this section OF
the state.
States Attorney II. II. Holdridge,
who returned this morning from Min
neapolis, where he transacted bust
ness, said there is considerably more
snow in eastern and central Mime
sofa than is the case in the Madison
district. Mr.. Holdridge told that
most of the trucking in Minneapolis
is still being done on
