The famed Prairie du Sac bridge
controversy, subject of supreme
court decision and of many protracted
hearings, was heard again the past
week before the state highway commits
sion.
In 1913 the matter was involved in
action Of the legislature which appor-
toned to the state a third of the cost
of constructing all bridges exceeding
500 feet. The municipality and coun-
ty each were to pay third.
Some time ago Prairie du Sac, Sank
county, applied TO the state highway
commission for an estimate on a 1000
foot bridge across the Wisconsin river.
West Point, Columbia county, objected
to paying it's share for construction of
bridge, the necessity of which was
questioned.
The matter was taken to supreme
court, which decided against Columbia
county.
The original $4,000 fixed by the
highway commission will not build the
bridge because of the increased cost
of materials and labor. Accordingly,
a new petition has been brought to
the commission. The entire matter is
now where it was years ago. The
commission win decide as to the ne
cessity If the bridge and estimete the
cost.

cherry Orchards Heavily Laden.

This is cherry blossom time in Door
county. This is a sight worth travel
ing many miles to see.
The beauty is enhanced by the de-
licious odor of the perfume that Cores
from the orchards. and autoists can
travel for miles and enjoy the treat
There are $500 ages of cherry
orchards. With the trees in bloom at
the same time one can easily imagine
the beauty of the sight. According TO
the orchard owners, buds are in n

the crop is 100000 cases.
Thousands of pickers have been en-
