FEDERAL AID NO. Al
SO THE PROPOSED ELLENBORO
IMPROVEMENT is CALLED
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Bids having been let yesterday at
Madison on Federal Aid Project Al,
or Ellenboro Hill, a few remarks on
the work may be of interest.
There is very little change in the
new road to the present one. East
of Al. Hinson's on the west hill the
new road will pass slightly to the
east of the present road. The farth-
est point over will be 80 feet. The dew
iation will be 1,400 feet long. In FL
lenboro the house at the turn of the
road on the northeast corner will be
moved back to clear view obstruction
to make a rounding turn. The road
will pass through Ellenboro village
as at present but goes northeast OF
the village. The first bridge will be
replaced by a culvert. A new bridge
will be built across Platte slightly up
stream from the present bridge. Co.
ing up the east hill the road will
strike high until it gets we'll up when
it will drop below the present road
The end of the improvement will be
parallel with the Sidney Stevens
farm. The length of the improve
ment will be about 8,400 feet. The
grades on the west side of the river
will vary from one per cen to 6.37
per cent. On the east the maximum
grade will be 6.S5 per cent, with a
general average approaching 6 per
cent.
Some land will be bought. Geo.
Mcpherson will part with 1858 acres,
B%aruchler .012 acres; Roe Dean .0016
acres; Andrew Kern 81 acres; Mel
son Baker 1.59 acres.
Some of the construction features
are:
Earth to be moved 9,161 Gu. yards
Rock excavated 1873 Gu. yds. Borrow
ed earth 528 Gu. yds. Guard rail 2,10C
feet. Concrete s~urfacing 1924 feet
Riprap 525 So. yds. Steel 45,61O lbs
for bridge.

RULE WISCONSIN
is NOT HOME
OF LAFOLLETTE,

Madison, Wis, July 20.-Special.-
A new link in the Chain of political
complications of United States Sen
ator Robert M. La Toilette was forg-
ed today when Judge A. C. Hoppman
of the Madison Municipal court held
in the $1,000, 900, 900 libel suit brought
against the Madison Democrat by
Senator La Toilette, that the senator
has no place of abode in Wisconsin.
Judge HoppEan handed down a de-
cisicn on the motion, of La Fcllette's
attorneys to set aside a service of
subpoena on the senator. The court
holds that the subpoena was not serv-
ed in accordance with the statute and
was therefore void.
r. L.. Jackman, OF tie attor-
neys for the Democrat Printing COM
pany, said that on Monday he will go
into the Superior court and ask for
an order compelling Senator LaFol-
lette to come to Madison at a certain
time to submit to an adverse exa-nin-
alton in the cause.
The consensus Of opinion among
politicians at the capital is that La
Toilette has about sealed his political
doom.

FROM BOULDER, COLORADO.

Boulder, Col, July 10, '18.
Mr.. A. L. Sherman,
Lancaster, Wis,
Dear Friend
After considerable wandering across
the country / am at last located for
a time here at the foot Of the Hills.
Among the sights I have seen I
might mention the corn of Iowa, the
golden, shining, never-ending wheat
fields of Nebraska, a bunch OF aero
planes lowering over Omaha
morning; some Utah soldier boys just
finishing their training here at the
U. of Colo, and of course the Rockies,
which are especially beautiful just
here. I think Boulder may be one of
the show" places and on account OF
the University, permanent Chautau-
qua, summer school and tourists,
they keep it looking green and fine.
/ think / am going to like it here
and get to feeling real well. 1t might
help my contentment IL you will send
me the Grant County Herald until
further notice.
Hoping all are we'll,
Very sincerely,
Portia Showalter.

HAVE SPLENDID TIME
GAMES, CIRCUS AND GENERAL
JOLLIFICATION AT LODGE PIC
NIC.-SIDESHOW ELABORATE.

The Modern Woodman and Royal
NeighbOr joint picnic held on the Ira
Murphy. lawn last Wednesday after
noon was a C in every sense OF
the word. In the afternoon the pro-
gram included games, a sack race, a
potato race, fat woman's race, lean
woman's race, r~ecitations by Mar
guerite Batty, Ivanelle Kinney, Geo.
Murphy and Florence Brandemuhl; a
piano solo by Emily Roberts and a vi
olin solo by Geo. Murphy. N~eighbor
Mary Williams won the prize in
potato race, the sack race and the fat
woman's race. Prizes were won al
SO by Rachel Payne, Ivanelle Kinney
and Clarence Edwards. The prizes
were beautiful and we'll worth the eff
fort and we congratulate neighbor
Williams on being so nimble. At six
o'clock eighty grown people sat down
to the table while the children's sup
per was spread for them on the grass.
Needless to say there were loads of
everything good to eat from hot cof-
fee to ice cream. When we arrived
we noticed a large tent pitched at a
short distance but we also noticed a
big dog tied to a stake att he entrance
so we had no curiosity nor desire to
investigate the meaning. Shortly af-
ter supper the footing of horns and
beating of drums announced the ar
rival of the circus. Then came the
grand parade, led by Uncle Sam who
was about the size and build of Lot
tie Grebe, and the Goddess of Liberty
who bore a striking resemblance to
Mrs. ROlla Kinney. They were fol-
lowed by Madame Daredevil the bare
back rider who rode a spirited slate
colored horse; next in order came
Mutt and Jeff; Zaza the snake charm
er with her "a snakes; EurOpidies the
tight rope performer and numerous
cages of wild animals. Europidies
gave a free exposition of his daring
feats outside and the performance in
the large tent was all that one would
expect of a circus of that size.
In the side-show was to be seer
Madame Numbskull the wonderful
-~clairvoyant who also gave a free ex-
hibition of her skill as a mind reader;
the headless and heartless woman;
Madame Fluffyruffles the fancy dane
er; Purl and Murl the Siamese Twins
Madame Weighmuch the largest wo-
man in the world. The wild girl was
sick and could not appear. The men,
agerie was simply wonderful. The
children behaved beautifully, the
weather was perfect and all those
present enjoyed themselves. **A
