bitches are SO full Of dirt that the
water Is running In the middle Of
the rOad-bed. This road Is worth
more than any other road in tho
county. and it seems shameful for
our county not to repair it before it
is ruined, after 1t has be , given to
tho county.
The bridge company has COM
menced work on tho new bridge at
Chauga. for which we are very
thankful. But it seems strange that
the county officials could afford to
build steel bridge at a cost OF thou
sands Of dollars on a road and tn en-
neglect tho road-bed until 1t Is prac-
tically ruined In some places--just
for the lack OF little work. But II
these bond funds are not for repair
ing or building roads, why, that set
ties the matter. Perhaps that is the
reason they did not give Shockley
any money. They knew he would re-
pair or build roads with It.

that purpose was to catch Il certain

STILL HUNTING INFORMATION.
MIR. Cook, of Madison. Talks Some
Moro and Asks Questions.

Madison, March, S, 1921.
Editor Keowee Courier:
Your comments in regard to my
article Of last week do not explain
the matter. You say, at is COM
mon error that many have fallen in
to in supposlng that the bond funds
are in the hands OF and at the dis
posal Of the County Supervisor. AS
q matter OF fact. the revorse Is true. -
Now, We DO nc lhinE any mon
I'm our vicinity has Eo,lan tuto such
an "'rcr as this, Wc al know tOat
T.. Mv &docklay lad The money thgra
"o... 20 something DOING. We were
just trying to find out the reason
why he has no money. We are not
criticising Mr.. Shockley. We think
he is 4 man Of fine sense and with a
good move on him, and that he will
make good II given a fair chance.
Also we think that the Highway
Commission is composed OF all good
men. But we think the taxpayers
who are being taxed so unreasonably
heavy for roads have a right to know
how their money is being spent
whether it is being economically
spent or not. The editor Of The Cou-
rier says, These funds are for a
specific purpose. which Is not for
the repairing OF roads in general,
and these funds are not available
for ordinary county work OF repair
ing Or building" Now, brother for
heavens sake tell us what the bond
funds are for then? We had an idea
that all the work the county has to
do is repairing or building. one or
tho other. Tell us what else the
county has to do except to build or
repair? We have been told that the
Highway Commission are having
trouble and hindrance in getting the
new road through from Seneca to
Walhalla because some Of the citi-
zens do not want to give the neces-
sary rights-of-way for the road. AS
case that when road Is built
through a mans farm, it Is always
worth moro to tho landowner than
to anybody else. II a man won't give
the right -of-way for a new road. he
doesn't want the road very much.
The commission should move to
some other vicinity and build the
road for the people who want the
road.
Now, Mr.. Editor the only mac
adamized road in the county that T
know OF Is tho old abandoned rail
road from Seneca to Tugaloo river.
1t Is about 90 miles long and it Is
Dallasted all the way with crushed
stone. This ballast Is from 12 to 20
inches deep. II tho county had this
road to build just as it Is 1. would
cost anywhere from thirty to forty
thousand dollars per mile. But 1t
has been given to us free OF charge,
and now the county officials do not
seem to appreciate 1t enough to have
the bitches cleaned out. Tho bitches
are all full OF dirt and tho road-bed

EAGLE RIVER WON

Twenty three to three was the final
score in the first baseball game OF the
season played at the fair grounds last
Sunday afternoon, when Eagle River
defeated the State Line team. Like
all first games, the playing was rag
ged on both sides. But it gave the
fans chance to let loose some of
their pent up energy after a winters
rest from the national pastime.
Bowker, the southpaw, pitched the
first four innings for the locals, being
followed by Legate, newcomer in
the home lot. Their work was salts
factory for this time of the year.
Sparks and Dale Hickok did the
throwing for State Line and the boys
found them easily all the way thru.
Hanke duplicated his stunt of last
fair day by clouting the horsehide
clean over the cattle shed for a
homer. Heehn and Bowker each got
a home run in the other gardens off
IuC CICIC l1Il1C
gers, two-baggers and singles we're
too numerous to keep track of. From
an incomplete box score we find the
home team credited with % hits to
State Lines z.
The absence of several old-timers
such as Ewald, Kuehne and Frankel
was noted in the local lineup. In
their places were several of the new
err generation who give promise of do
ing their share in unfolding Eagle
Rivers baseball honors in the com
ing years.
Laona will play here Sunday, ac-
cording to the present schedule. On
Memorial Day the Flambeau Indians
will come over to mix, it with the
home team.

HAVE MONEY DUE

In connection with proposed sol
der relief legislation it has come to
light that 5000 soldiers in Wisconsin
have failed to apply for the state boz
nus to which they are entitled. Phere
is still in the state treasury about a
million dollars with which to pay the
claims. To date 1O8,50O soldiers have
been paid and about 5000 have been
paid under the educational bonus.
Throwing out the 5000 s. A. T. G,
men who were not brought under the
law, this leaves approximately 5000
yet to be paid, as the state was cred
tied with $4,000 men by the federal
authorities.

BURKE BILL WOULD
MAKE Villas RESERVE.
If Legislature Agrees $4,000
Acres in Villas County Will
Become State Park and
Forest Reserve

Madison-The first real forest re-
serve in the state will consist of 3d.
900 acres if the legislature enacts the
Burke bill directing its transfer by
the land commissioners, and provid-
ing $4,000 to compensate the school
fund. This reserve is located in vi.
las county 1t embraces all the ter
ritory improved by the state prior to
the supreme court decision which
halted forestry activities. OF the al
lotment 10000 acres will be acquired
from the schools, and 5000 acres will
be purchased from private owners.
Public land commissioners are di-
rected in the bill, to transfer the
school lands to the. conservation com
mission for state park, forest and
game farm, and for the operation OF
state forest nursery, upon which
young trees may be raised for the
state and for distribution to private
individuals who desire to reforest
their lands.
The state has had many dealings
with the land now to be set aside,
some of which show the lack of fore
sight years ago in respect to forestry
matters. In 1878. the state owned
the lands, which were then covered
with virgin timber. Later it sold
them timber and all, for $1.25 per
acre. The purchasers cut the timber
and marketed it, and after an interval
sold the cut-over lands back to the
state 70 $3.50 per acre. Had the tim
Der been preserved until the present
time it would be worth in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 per acre, and there
would be no trouble about money
for consistent forestry policy.
In 1913 the supreme court held that
all these lands properly belonged to
the schools, and they will now be
transformed into forest reserve
when the state satisfies the claims OF
the school fund.
Senator Burke has also introduced
a bill appropriating $4,000 annually
to grow young trees for reforestra-
ton. Milwaukee Journal.

CAR BURNED

]. E. Frankel while on a trout fish
ing trip to the Ontonagon, several
miles above State Line Sunday, had
an unlucky accident in the loss of his
King 5 car by fire. The party parked
the car in the woods and walked to
the trout stream where they fished
for several hours and on returning to
the car for their lunch, found that in
the meantime, forest fire not noticed
by them had swept across the ground
where the car was left which totally
destroyed it. AS it cost nearly $4,000
just year ago, it was an expensive
day for Joe although covered for
part the value by insurance.

PRIDE-THRUN SHOP
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Eagle Forge and Machine Works
Burned to Ground Friday
Night-Insurance Only
Partially Covers

At eleven o'clock Friday night, the
large frame building at the foot OF
Main ST., owned and occupied by
Chas. Pride for blacksmith shop
and by F. J. Thrun as a machine
shop was discovered on fire and an
alarm Immediately given. The fire
department soon arrived but found
after attaching the hose to the near
est hydrant that no water was forth
coming. Thinking that hydrant was
out of order they fell back to the n.y.
drant at Main and Wall St's., and at
tached the hose with the same result
The power house was hurriedly Wis
tied and it developed that the cleo
trician had attempted to hitch on the
large pump which for some cause re-
fused to work The trouble was adj
justed and water began running but
too late to save any part Of the build
ing or machinery Mr.. Pride lost his
complete blacksmith shop equipment,
the extensive accumulation of several
years in business, and Mr.. Thrun lost
all of the machine shop tools, includ-
ing three iron working lathes, all of
which were installed few months
ago at large expense. The building
and contents were partially covered
by insurance, but the loss to both men
is a severe one. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, particularly, as the
forge fire had not been in use since
early that afternoon.
Charlie has opened temporary
quarters in the building formerly oc-
cupied by w H. Bomber as black
smith, until he makes more definite
plans. Mr.. Thrun has not as yet
fully decided on his future move
ments but will probably rebuild as
soon as possible
Messrs. Thrun and Pride have the
genuine sympathy Of the village of
Eagle River in their misfortune and if
good wishes are any help. they have
lots of them
