State Road Work About Through.

That lack of sufficient funds
will not cause a change in the act
ivities of the highway commission
until about July I, 1922, was the
statement of A. R. Hirst, state
highway engineer, on Saturday
A careful examination of the
resources of the highway Commiss-
ion has been made" said A. r
Hirst, "and it appears that there
is no reason for a change in its act
ivities this calendar year; or until
about July /, 1922. In case there
should be no further provision by
the Federal Government for a con-
tinuation of its aid in the highway
construction, it will be necessary
to reduce our work in the prepara-
tion of surveys and plans after that
date, and TO reduce our overhead
organization about January /, 1928.

tinuing on a large scale but will
show a marked falling off within a

DEER HUNTING SEASON
OPENS TOMORROW, NOV. 10.
Woods Will Be Full of Hunters for / en-
Days. Bucks Not Less than One
Year Old Only Can Be Killed.

Wisconsin's deer hunting season
opens tomorrow, Nov. IS, aud
continues for ten days, or until
Nov. ~, both days inclusive.
The usual army of hunters will
be in the woods, only this year the
number will be even greater, it is
believed, dueto the industrial situa
ton, Many men are out of work
or are working only part time and
will thus have time to join the
hunt Others will be able to leave
their positions more readily on ac-
count of the business depression.
That Northern Wisconsin will
be invaded by large numbers of
hunters from the lower and central
parts Of the state and from the
cehters OF population goes without
saying Deer hunting has an allur-
ing attraction and many who do
not 60 into the woods at any other
time shoulder their guns and pack
their bags when the deer season
rolls around.

BIG FALLING OFF IN IRON ORE
Decrease for October 4.76S.9S3 Tons;
Shipping Season Nears Close.

A falling off of 4,768,9S3 tons was
shown in iron ore shipments from the
Head of the Lakes, Two Harbors and
Ashland, Wis. docks during October,
the total being reported at 2,568,O34
tons, as compared with 1887 ,0l7 tons
during the same months last year.
For the season to Nov. l, shipments
aggregated only 19,455,097 tons. as
compared with 43,499 $50 tons during
the corresponding period last year
The falling off in shipments was uni
form at all docks, but the Great
Northern docks at Superior made
comparatively the worst showing,
shipments from them for the season
amounting to only 4,403, ,765 tons, as
compared with 1851 ,280 tons last
year. That was attributed to min
ing operations of the Independents on
the ranges during the year being at
low ebb.
Missabe Dock Closes.
Shipments from the Misabe dock
at Superior for the season were con
cluded yesterday. Eight more boats
are scheduled to arrive at the Great
Northern docks at Superior for loads
and it is expected that with their
clearing the shipping season for those
docks will be wound up.
Comparative shipments for October
and for the season to Oct. 81 were

COUNCIL MAKES APPROPRIA-
TlONS FOR COMING YEAR
Special Meeting for That Purpose Held
Tuesday Evening. ApprOpria-
tons Higher than Last Year.

The fixing of budget for the
"oming year made up the most i'm
portant business transaction at the
special meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening.
Appropriations amounting TO
$50, 59S were made for the fiscal
year ending Dec 81, 1922, ap
portioned as follows:
TOT salaries. 81 900. 90
For maintenance of FIRE
hall............. hall 500 90
For fire department and
hydrant rental ... S,4oo 90
For street lighting 80. 3.355.oo
For resident poor. ..,... 1900. 90
For bonds and interest 4.5o5 90
For Odanah Iron Co. tax
refund. .......... I,248 90
For city library ..... 1900 90
For general and improve
ment fund. d........... 10000 90
Total. ............. S32 598 90
This years appropriations are
considerably in excess OF those
made last year and include a num-
ber of new items. An increase is
noted in every department except
that of maintenance of fire hall, the
appropriation for this purpose of
$500 being the same as last year
For fire department and hydrant
rental there was appropriated last
year 81 $50, whereas this year it
amounts to IS, 400. The appropria-
ton for street lighting is consider.
ably more than last year, when s., :
700 was set aside for this purpose.
An increase is also noted in the ap-
preparation for resident poor, which
last year was 81 z25. .4S.
The city is called upon to make
an appropriation for bonds and
interest this year, which has not
been necessary for some time, since
the city has had no bonded in
debtedness for a number of years.
The street improvement and sewer
bonds issued this year make this
appropriation necessary.
The sum of 81 248 must be re-
turned to the Odanah Iron com
pany on account of illegal assess
ment and had to be provided for in
this years appropriations. The
mining company appealed to the
state tax commission on the figures
of the local assessor on personal
property and got favorable deci-
sion, with the result that the tax
money has to be returned to the
mining company.
A resolution wss passed authoriz.
ing the mayor and city clerk to
draw warrants to the amount of
1885 to pay interest on bonds
which will be due next Dec. I.
The interest on the street improve
ment bonds amounts to S585, and
that on the sewer bonds to $500.
1t was necessary to dispose of this
matter at this meeting of the
council since the interest on those
bonds becomes due before the next
regular meeting.

Speaking of the years business the

From a business standpoint tho past
year has been by far the mot nc
cessful, and at the same time the most
disastrous one in the hi tory Of the
company. The volume OF business
written during the year not only ex-
ceeds that of any previous year but
wa equal to that or our book eight
yeals ago when the company had been
in existence twenty yoals. We have
written during The yea ia new bust
ness S5,17l.91T & renewals tpmountinc
to S2,126,390. on q total Of $1,-35.35T.
which If added to The amount on our

would give us ut this time the nice
sun. Of S23.31G 9G4. However afte,
deducting the cancelled insurance and
that not paid up, we find that we have
but u total OF slS,375,3sS. in force at
this time. Of which S9413,S96 is in
South Dakota, and SS,96l ,492 in North

err, the seller does not tell the buyer
country.
The farmer knows his conditions
and what he can expect.
In view of the fact that farmers
are using an ever increasing number
of motortrucks, it is interesting to
note what 4 leading transportation au-
thority recently said about doing
this with trucks. that is, calling them
two. three, four, tc., ton trucks.
obviously 1t is as illogical for a
motortruck manufacturer to label his
truck a two-ton hauler as it would he
for a horse dealer to say how much
a horse would haul. Clearly in either
case the load which may be transport
ed depends almost entirely npon cOndi-
tons. For this reason leading manu-
facturers have abolished the ton rat
ing method and are fitting the trucks
to the job. A transportation engineer
goes ver the hauler's conditions thor
oughly. All his difficulties and adj
vantages are carefully considered. and
the proper size unit prescribed. Thus.
a truck formerly rated at two tons
may be used for q four-tOn load in the
city. while in an unusually bad Sec
ton Of the country a unit with a larger
rated horse power capacity may be
necessary. II the owner is to prevent
wasteful depreciation"
In other words. manufacturers are
taking advantage Of the experience
gained In horse hauling. They real
iZe it takes "ten horses on loose gravel
and one on concrete" They are sell
ing their transportation accordingly.

DETECTIVES OF THE LEGION
lines What Is Planned to Be Ac-
compiiGhsd During the Year.

The detectives of the American Le-
gion for thu. year 1921, were told by
+. w. Galhraith. Jr., national com
mander. in a recent speech in Gu
cinnati. at Il dinner attended by Le-
g%iOnnaires and business men.
Mr.. Galbraith cited the disabled
mans problems as the Legion's para
mount concern and termed. the finding
Of n satisfactory solution as lone Job
that is going to be done"
"Woe unto the man. he added. cor
the bureau or bureau chief who will
fully stands in the way Of paying the
honorable obligation the government
owes these men. Whoever he is he
will have to get out"
He warned against the activities Of
the I. w. w. and kindred organiza-
tions and outlined the position of the
Legion as follows:
1.-The time has come when a II
must be drawn between loyal and dis
loyal Americans. We do not claim to
have a monopoly on patriotism but
~ dusk vi WI WA
a little clearer to our hearts and is a
little more intense. We intend 30
crush this thing, if it ever raises its
head. that we already have fought ard
licked"
Mr.. Galbraith also spoke of the de-
sire Of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations of the allies, in
order to promote International amity.
"PeOple accuse us Of being over
enthusiastic" he said. They declare
that we believe ourselves to be the
only patriots. God knows we are not.
If we were 1t would be a sorry day for
the nation. We know we have a hun
dred million associates and we ask
them to help us because without their
good will and assistance we q ac-
