of the work, said it was expected to
shortly install a third machine, and
he thought there was enough ton

new GRADE OVER
UNION SUMMIT
County Commissioners Arrange
for Completion of Grade That
Will Make County Road to
Palisade Passable for All Traf-
fc ALI the Year Round

County Commissioners Edgar Sad
Ter and r. j. Reid this week COM
pleted the plans for building a new
grade over the Union summit On the
County road that is used by all in
travelling between Eureka and Pail
SADIE. This particular portion of the
road during most of the Winter
months becomes almost impossible
for all classes of heavy teaming. and
at times for even lightly laden teams
and autos.
The Commissioners employed H.
g. Wedekind to do the surveying.
and they went down to Union and
personally assisted and worked with
him in laying out a new grade that
when completed will eliminate most
of the trouble that all travellers have
had to contend with in getting over
this portion of the road. Mr.. Wede-
kind states that when the new grade
is completed there will be no more
soft spots and sticky mud to wade
through. and that the steepest grade
in going over the summit will be less
than five per cent.
AS now planned, the new road to
be built on both sides of the summit
will be less than one and a half miles,
and the Commissioners have arranged
to have the work started at once and
rushed to completion.
The County now owns two road
graders and heavy plows. and these
will be furnished the men who have
been engaged to do the work. Sena-
tor L. R. Thatcher, manager of the
mines at Union, who is personally in
terested in having the Union summit
road improved. will take the teams
under his employ and put them to
work on a portion of the new road.
and arrangements have been made
with another man to use his teams in
completing the road.
Commissioner w. S. Raine will
have the County road grader now at
Palisade brought up to Union, and
Commissioner Sadler will take the
grader now in Eureka down to Union,
and it is planned to have the work
started on the new road during the
next week.
With the completion of this new
grade over the Union summit, an all
the year road from Eureka to Pail
SADIE will be in readiness for any
emergency that may arise, and if
the local railway is washed out. or
decides to quit running, the major
ity of the people of Eureka County
will not be up against the proposition
of paying four cents a pound for
hauling freight from the main line
at Palisade. as vas very plainly put
up to them last week when it was
thought the local railway would stop
doing business and an effort was
made to employ teams to haul freight
from Palisade.

Alley Back Of Their Building

T. V. Walker, the city attorney, was
in Carroll yesterday afternoon. where
he appeared before Judge Hutchinson
of Lake City, endeavoring to have the
injunction of the Green Bay Lumber
company against the city of Denison
vacated. The judge heard the evil
dence, but did not render verdict
as there are several points in law in
volved which will have to be gone into.
Last week the city commenced to
excavate the alley back Of the Green
Bay yards and the new Sibbert-Reim
ers building and the Green Bay COM
pany served writ Of injunction
against the city to prevent the grade
Of the alley being lowered, claiming
that it would bring their part of the
alley below the present level of the
driveway running through their yard,
which would cause trouble in hauling
material in and out of the shed. How
ever, unless the alley Is excavated the
Sibbert- Reimers company will have no
use of the fine basement under their
new building. '.t >s,

Situation In Crawford Serious.

The federal fuel administrators OF

week and have sent to every coal deal.
er in the county blanks to be filled out
for the purpose of ascertaining the
amount of coal now on hand and the
price, at which it was purchased and
at what prices it is being sold to the
consumer.
The county fuel administrators are

formation Is being secured of all deal

for their supply of fuel that the price

one of the members Of the. committee
as mentioned above. -z
The coal situation in Crawford coun-
ty is most serious and it is particular
~ true in Denison. Very little If any
hard coal is to be had in DenisOn at
any price. One car load of hard coal
was received in Denison last week and
tbs has already been sold. We under
stand that the coal dealer who receiv-
ed this shipment accepted an order
for twenty tons from one party from
this single shipment. This should not
be allowed. The coal as scarce as it
Is should be parceled out in small lots
in order to furnish all with small
quantity. The soft coal situation is
almost as bad. Iowa coal Is available
but the better grades mined in other
states il hard to secure as deliveries
are slow. ~ H., ....a..

Denison High Journeys to Logan Last
Saturday and Met Logan in Game
Referees Decision to 0.

One; Denison Did However

The Denison high school football
team journeyed to Logan Saturday
where they met with very spirited
reception, both by the natural ele'
ments and the Logan rooters. A touch
down in the last few seconds of time
to play by Denison gave rise to dis.
pute as to whether time was up before
the final play and ended in the referee s
decision of 0 to 0 game.
Denison received the KICKOFF and on
forward pass Logan caught the ball
and ran to Denison's two yard line,
where they fumbled the ball and Deni-
son kicked out Of danger. Logan was
unable to make any again after three
downs through Denison's line and punt
ed. Denison then marched down the
field for the first touchdown, but Leh.
feldt failed to kick goal and the quar-
ter ended with the score 6 to in Den
ison's favor.
In the second quarter with a strong
wind in their favor Logan punted and
downed Denison on their rs yard line.
Three trials through the line did not
net the required 10 yards and Lehfeldt
dropped back to punt. A high pass
from center went over his head and he
was downed on his own l yard line.
Logan's ball. On the next play Logan
scored and failed to kick goal, which
tied the score. Denison then received
the kickoff and on an attempted for
ward pass Logan intercepted the ball
and scored. Goal was kicked, the score
then being 10 to 6 n Logan's favor.
No score was made by either team
in the third quarter.
In the final period it was evident that
Logan was killing time, content with
the Z point lead it had over Denison
However Denison came back in won
derful style and swept the Logan de-
tense before them and scored by
means of several clever forward pass
es. Lehfeldt missed an easy goal and
the score was IL to Is in favor of Lo
gan. With but three minutes of play
Denison kicked of to Logan who still
did their best to kill time. They were
finally forced to punt and on three
