RETURN FROM LONG TRIP.
l. w. Byers and Family Complete Sue
cessful Colorado Trip In Ford.
lFrom Iron RIver Reporter.l

lfrom Iron River Reporter)
|. w. Byers and family returned
Tuesday, Sept. 10, from their automo-
bile trip TO Yellowstone Park, Just six
weeks TO the day from the time they
left Iron River in their "little old
Ford" for the 1850 mile tour, which
the spedometer showed when the car
drew up at the Byers home.
The trip was made without acct
dent and at a total expense of only
S465 for the party OF four. The route
was along the Yellowstone Trail to
the park, thence diagonally across the
state OF Wyoming to Colorado, thence
through Denver TO Colorado Springs
and back TO the trunk Lincoln High
way. thence TO Chicago and from there
home. The only delay was in the
park when hub was broken. Two
days were lost as Mr.. Byers was COM
PEELED 10 send to Cody, Wyo.. for a
new hub. Two springs were repaired
and two new tires purchased on the
road. One front tire made the trip
on Iron River air TO within one mile
OF Commonwealth. The car is Just as
good as when It left and the tires are
almost in as good condition.
-Four men could make the trip for
much less" said Mr.. Byers. "They
could make II on less than 500 each.
During the six weeks we spent ten
nights in hotels, the rest OF the time
we camped out We were not overly
tired at any time. I was about all in
when we reached the park but good
rest made me feel alright. II was a
fine trip, well worth the time and
money"
MIR. Byers' letters. which he wrote
to the Reporter enroute, have not all
been published, but will appear in the
next two weeks.

ROAD BUILDING
PLAN DISCUSSED
NEARLY ONE MILLION DOLLARS
AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION
TO SPEND SIS, 900 NEXT YEAR
State Com. Rodgers Explains That
Counties and Twps. Must Get
Together on Aid Fund

That the chance of securing part OF
the two million dollar federal road
appropriation for the building OF a
permanent highway connecting the
iron and copper countries depends
largely on the willingness of Baraga
county to pay part of the cost OF the
road. was one OF the significant state
ments made by F. f. Rogers, state
highway commissioner, at the meet
ing OF upper peninsula road officials
held at the Marquette county court
house last week.
AZ the morning meeting, Mr.. Rogers
explained in detail the recently enact
ed federal aid law, which appropriates
the sum of $2.1S6,755sO to Michigan
for road building purposes, providing
that an equal sum is furnished by the
state.
The details of distributing the fund
were left to the secretary OF agricul-
ture, who called a meeting of the state
highway commissioners at Washing
ton few weeks ago to discuss meth
DDS of handling the funds.
Enabling legislation will have to be
passed by the state legislature at the
next session in order to allow the
state highway department to distrib-
ute the federal and state money to-
gether. and to begin the actual work
of road building. This power is not
allowed the department at present, al
though 1t is not specifically prohibit
ed. The legislature will also have to
authorize the counties and townships
to pay their road money into the state
treasury. -

One of the problems, according to
Mr.. Rogers, is TO determine what part
of the money that must be raised in
Michigan shall be furnished by the
state, and what part shall be furnished
by the counties and townships direct
ly benefited
Some of the richer counties will be
willing TO pay half OF the amount TO
be spent within their boundaries in
order TO secure the other half from
the federal fund The counties whose
valuations are low, and who are pay
ing about all they can afford for road
building now, will be assessed a
smaller proportion.
Although not so specified m the fed
eral aid law, the fund in Michigan will
be spent only for trunk lire highways
and roads OF interstate Importance,
II Is believed. The counties will make
provisions for the building of subsi-
dary roads the same as usual.
Mr. Rogers predicted that 100000
of the S2,0O00OO federal appropriation
will be spent in the upper peninsula,
making the total sum available $780,
600 when the state has paid its half.
II is believed that about $4,000 will
be available lin 1917 Just where this
money will be spent will probably be
settled by the state highway depart
ment. with approval of the secretary
OF agriculture.
Practically every county in the up
per peninsula was represented az the
meeting, and much of the afternoon
meeting, was devoted to the hearing
of the opinions OF the road officials on
specific projects.
The iron and copper country men
were agreed that the trunk line con-
meeting the two sections should be in
cllded in the building plan The Bar
aga county representatives took the
position that a survey should be made
before thsr county was assessed for
any rohd, building. Engineers are al
ready az work In Baraga county on
this survey.
Baraga county is the largest gap in
the present copper country highway.
and the aid OF this county is necessary

He Was An Outside Man

Last Monday morning the body OF

from place near the roof and about
eight feet from the ground. Knowing
that the board was In its place the

was about a week ago, he started to
investigate. Climbing up, he looked
into the shed and saw the body OF a
man lying on his back, sunk deep into
the hay and with coat thrown over
his chest Hendrickson thought the
man was sleeping and called to him
from where he was standing outside
the barn. Receiving no response
from several loud shouts he became
alarmed and went back to his home
and called up chief of police Broad,
telling him of his discovery. Mr..
Broad. accompanied by several 9TH

diet of the jury was that the man
