handing the inventory, it is believed
that it has been called with a view
to ascertaining whether the mini
mum time a patron may talk over a
toll line can be reduced, and, If so,
what reduction could be made in
charges. At present the minimum
charge for talking over long distance
telephone lines is for three minutes.
Ii has been %contended by some of the
larger mercantile establishments that
they can ordinarily complete toll line
conversations in a couple of minutes
or less, and that charges should be
based on the actual time the tele-
phone is used.
Every item that goes into the tele-
phone lines and exchanges is en-
braced in the inventory, even to
cross arms, anchors and bolts. and
1t is especially stipulated that the
stock taking" must be thorough.
If present plans are carried out. a
crew of some fifty men next year will
take an inventory of telephone prop
critics in South Dakota for the United
States government. The various sys-
TENS will be valuated in order that
necessary data will be in hand, in
case the government decides to take
over the lines.
George B. Phifer, district manager
here for the Dakota Telephone com
pany, said that the inventory in nine
counties is being directed from the
Madison offices. They are Miner,
Z II ~
Cook counties in South Dakota and
Pipestone. Jackson and Mobiles coun-
ties in Minnesota. Mr.. Phifer told
hat the date on which the work Will
be finished is uncertain.

MAY REMODEL BRIDGE
PROBABLE THAT NEW STRUC-
TURE WILL NOT BE BUILT
ON NORTH EGAN AVENUE.

With a view to arriving at a de-
cision with regard to the proposed
bridge across the creek on North
Egan avenue, the county and city
commissioners are in session this
afternoon in the county auditors Of
flee with A. n. Bjodstrup, of Mitch
ell, director of the Pioneer Bridge
Co., of that city. The Pioneer Bridge
company submitted the only bid for
the construction of the bridge that
came in for serious consideration of
the commissioners, when tenders
were opened about ten days, it is
said.
1t is reported that it had been ex-
pected that the bridge. plans for
which were drawn here. could be
built for about $4,000. The cost
was to have been borne jointly by
the city and county. 1t is told that
none of the bids met with the ap-
prevail of the commissioners, but that
that of the Pioneer Bridge company
was nearest in line. The report is
current that the commissioners now
are considering ~remodeling the pres
ent bridge. 1t is said hal while the
present arch could be used, it is
above street grade, and that its ele-
waited position will be more pro-
nounced after the pavement there
Is laid.

dicted that in the neighborhood OF
500 people from a half dozen states
will be in attendance. The program
for tomorrow is registration, distrib-
uting of badges and the receiving of
old a~cquaintances.
Among the matters to be taken up
at tonight's general meeting of the
Madison Merchants association, will
be the question of fixing a date for
the monthly market day. Under
present arrangements the date falls
on the last Saturday in each month.
Some merchants object to having the
event held on Saturday. The asso-
citation will also consider a request
made to have all stores close from 2
o'clock until 4 o'clock next Thurs
day afternoon, when a ball game will
be played by the Railroad Safety

To put both corn and small grain
into proper condition, from ten days
to two weeks of dry, hot weather is
/ required, according to men who have
looked over fields in this section dur
ing the last two or three days. 1t is
said that contrary to the general
opinion, small grain stands in great
need of sunshine as does corn. 1t is
said that continued dampness cannot
but cause rust, and that some fields
of small grain already are beginning
to show the result of excessive mois-
ture.

GETTiNG ELEGTION
RETURNS IN MOUNTAINS

Leadville Herald Democrat:
There were only fourteen votes
cast at Fulford in Eagle county. at
the general election on Tuesday OF
last week. but to report how those
fourteen citizens cast their ballots
John Sorry and Gene Gunnen, two of
the election judges in that precinct.
were forced to undergo hardships
which were. probably. not equalled
anywhere else in the state.
Fulford is a small mining camp
situated high up in the mountains
near timberline. The nearest rail
road point is Eagle. eighteen miles
distant. On election day severe
snowstorm ragged thru the mountains
about the little camp and for a time
threatened to snowbound the ballot
boxes for days.
Story and Gunnen. however. decid
ed the boxes and the votes should
be carried to Red Cliff, the county
seat, without delay. Accordingly
they started out at 10 o'clock Tues,
day night with the ballot boxes on
their shoulders. Fol- FIVE hours they
tramped thru the snow. breaking
trail most of the way thru snowbanks
two and three feet deep. At O'Clock
the next morning they had covered
the arduous eighteen miles and had
reached Eagle. They caught a train
at Eagle and continued the journey
to Red Cliff. In spite of obstacles
placed in their way they were among
the first judges to bring in their re.
turns.
It was the mountainous topogra-
ply OF Eagle county and the fact that
most of the high trails were buried
in snow that delayed tabulating of
the returns in that county of the
Fifth Judicial district, in which Lake
and Summit counties are the other
two. The feat of Story and Gunnen
is typical of what judges had to COM
bat to report their returns.

LIES JOURNEY OF
BEN SHAVER CLOSED
SUNDAY EVENING

Ben Shaver died at the family
home, 420 North Fifth street, at 1880
o'clock Sunday night from the effects
of stroke of apoplexy on November
5th. Mr.. Shaver had been in declin-
ing health for long time and for a
week previous TO his death but little
hope was entertained for his recov-
cry. Two years ago Mr.. Shaver had
serious attack of pneumonia which
eft him with a weakened heart and
he was never able to do any work af-
terwards. altho he was sufficiently
strong to make occasional trips down
town during favorable weather.
Twice after his illness from pneu-
monia he sustained strokes of partial
paralysis which destroyed much of his
vitality. and. coupled with a dropsi-
cal affection from which he suffered,
made such inroads upon his constitu-
ton as to leave him lily prepared
to meet the stroke of apopleXy that
followed.
Mr.. Shaver was born at Greenville.
Kentucky. April 21st, 1859 and was
aged fifty-seven years, six months
and twenty-five days He had resided
n Canon City about thirty-five years.
He was a member of Mount Moriah
Lodge No. Is, A. F. & A. NJ. and
of Canon City Lodge No. 610, Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks. He
had belonged 10 the latter organiZa-
'fon for about FIVE years. Mr.. SHAY
er's death is the eleventh to take
place among the membership of the
Elks lodge here during the last twelve
months and the sixty-seventh since
the organization of the lodge sixteen
years ago.
Mr. Shaver leaves, besides the sor-
rowing wife. two brothers; William
Shaver of Delta. Colorado, and II. ].

raj on account of i'll health. A broth
