Bridge Controversy Is Revived.

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.
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 1000
foot bridge across the Wisconsin river.
West Point, Columbia county, objected
to paying its 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,
new petition has been brought to
the commission. The entire matter Is
now where it was years ago. The
commission will decide as to the ne
cessity of the bridge and estimate the
cost.

ing many miles to see.
The beauty is enhanced by the de-
licious odor of the perfume that. comes

There are $500 ages of cherry
orchards. With the trees in bloom at

the orchard owners, buds are in a
healthy condition and the limbs are
fairly covered.

pigeons were very gregarious in their
habits, nesting together in large COL
onies with many nests in a single tree.
These colonies were sometimes as
much as 40 miles long and several
miles wide, making it easy for hunt
ers to slaughter the birds. Millions
of them were sent to the markets
each year for food, while others were
captured alive and used for the sport
of pigeon shooting. Those that re-
manned after the clearing of the great
forests were probably driven to the
far North and persisted.
