COUNTY HIGHWAY NOTES.

VIM. Mcmahon was the successful
bidder Wednesday on the project to
raise the 60-fOOt span bridge across
the slough on the road leading to the
Eagle Point bridge in Jamestown.
The bridge will be raised 21a feet
and the bid includes the necessary
concrete work. Mr.. McMahOn's bid
was $94S. The new road now being
built across the bottom will follow
the old route to the slough bridge and
then take direct "shoot" for the high
bridge instead of meandering around
the bottoms as at present. Work has
been started in the fill and the con-
tractors hope to be done before snow
fakes fly.
J. H .Budden & Son of jamestown
were the successful bidders on the
Hazel Green-Dubuque project for con-
crete work pertaining to culverts and
bridges. Their bid was $4,S7056.
The low bidder on 10000 cubic yards
of grading at the same point was the
Carroll Const CO. This concern re-
fused to take the grading work be-
cause their bid in the concrete work
was not accepted. The chance then
passed to the next bidder, S. J. Grove
& Sons Co., and if they refuse to take
it Jake Udelhofen is the next man in
order. Jake's bid was 5Sc cubic yd.,
and there was but fractional differ
ence between the various bidders.
The Boscobel paving job was let to
Robt. H. Quinn 1t calls for 1882 feet
of earth excavation, $3.50 square yds.
of concrete surface and 1000 feet of
curb and gutter. Quinn's bid was $2.42
So. yd. Five years ago when the
main paving was done at Boscobel
(the new work is an extension of the
present paving toward the brewery
the work was done for $1.41 a so yd.
This doesn't look like costs were back
to the pre-war level.
Fred A. Skemp, district highway in
spector, was called home to James
town Friday by illness in the family.
One of his children has scarlet fever.

HALEY CHANDLER BURNS
UP IN GASOLINE FIRE

Tom Haley's nobby green Chandler
touring went up in a blaze of glory
near Mccartney last Tuesday night.
All remaining of it is the engine and
part of the hood. The wheels burned,
body twisted, upholstery and top con-
sumed and the rest a tangled wreck
lies in a Waterloo farm yard await
ing action by an insurance adjuster.
The way it happened was like this:
Several motor parties had been at
Mccartney fishing and remained for
supper in one of the cabins. 1t
rained heavily in the evening and the
return home was delayed until after
ten o'clock. Ahead was DR.. Kraut
and two passengers who have moth
Pelie Nauert of Boscobel and three
others. Following was the Haley
car with Lee Eastman driving.
Nauert ran out of gasoline and
stopped on the Potosi-Cassville road.
Haley came up and as his gas tank
was full, offered to supply Nauert
until he could get to a farm house.
The cap on the bottom of the Haley
car tank was unscrewed and gasoline
was being transferred in a cup to the
Nauert car.
1t was very dark and the man under
the car was fumbling. Another man
struck match for light and the gaso-
line spilled on the road ignited and
soon there was light enough for every
body.
Lee Eastman in the car could not
run ahead as the Nauert car was in
the way. He backed to get clear
path and crossed the fire zone. Then
he sped down the road ahead of the
blazing gas which followed in a sky
rocket manner.
Lee got along fine and would have
run away from the blaze but the gas
refused to follow the pipe line when
it had a clear path in the road and
when the car stalled the gas blaze
caught UP with it. Lee made several
attempts to put out the fire with mud
but quit when he got ablaze himself
The car went up in smoke. The men
divided up in the remaining cars and
came home.
Tom carried $500 insurance.

HERALD HOME LIST
HUGS THOUSAND MARK.

A check made last week shows that
the number of Heralds entering the
postoffice for Lancaster subscribers
hugs the thousand mark very closely
The actual figures are $50 local and
404 r. F. d. This means actual paid
subscribers.
Our home list is amplifed further
by another thousand copies a week
circulating to subscribers outside the
Lancaster postofflce but in Grant
county. This has nothing to do with
another large group of subscribers
outside of Grant county.
The Herald modestly but Justly
claims the largest home circulation of
any paper in Grant county and also
larger than any weekly we know of
any where. When the present owner
ship took charge six years ago the
home list was something over 500
copies a week and that after the con-
clusion of a subscription contest.
Both the former and present editor
considered the list six years ago as
very good. A growth of nearly one
hundred per cent in that time is
naturally very gratifying to us.
The Herald offers local advertisers
CiICuIdLlOH luLO more Lndn 81 ana
nearly 80 per cent of the homes in
the territory they wish to reach Our
aim in all these years has been to
make the paper appeal through it's
worth so strongly that we could offer
the advertiser thorough and bona-fiGe
publicity-in fact universal circulation
in the home territory.
We feel that this point has been
reached and our future effort will be
to thoroughly merit this patronage.

DUBUQUE TRUCK GOES
THRU PLATTE BRIDGE

A large Dubuque oil truck loaded
with 400 gallons of gasoline and 100
gallons of kerosene with a man driver
and his child on board went through
the south approach on the old bridge
crossing Platte river below Potosi
Saturday afternoon.
The bridge has been unsafe for
travel for some time and heavy loads
have been warned verbally and by
notice not to cross. 1t is said that
the driver of the truck which went
through received warning before he
attempted to cross.
Rains had weakened the underfoot-
ing on the approach and the wooden
approach and substructure gave way
taking about so feet of the bridge with
it, eye witnesses said.
The truck dropped 25 feet to the
mud under the bridge. Efforts were
being made Sunday to salvage it with
capstans and pulleys and it was said
the truck would be out by Monday.
Warning signs prohibiting smoking
indicated that the volatile cargo was
leaking out
The driver was uninjured. His
child suffered a broken rib.

COUNTY HAS LONG TRUNK
LINE NEARLY ALL DONE

The county road men have about
completed Is miles of surfacing on
trunk 20 between Montfort and Hazel
Green. This road is 81 miles long
and all but six miles (between Ar
thur and Platteville) is finished in
either macadam or mine tailings AS
a year-around road this method of
surfacing does not compare to real
hard surface but is better than dirt
and will give good service for a couple
of years under the extremely heavy
travel of the present day. The road
when fully surfaced will be the long
est straight strip of hard road in this
part of the state.

LOCALS DEFEAT
DUBUQUE STARS
FASTEST GAME OF PAST
SEASON HERE SUNDAY.
LANCASTER 3; DUBUQUE STARS 2.

Lancaster defeated the Dubuque
All Stars, the team of fast players
managed by DR.. Lewis and Forest
Plass, in the best and fastest game
of the season here Sunday. The bat
teries were: Lancaster-Delaney and
| Adrian; Dubuque-Carroll and Oster
Dubuque took four hits of Delaney
and Lancaster eight hits off Carroll
! Carroll pitched a strong game with
excellent support Delaney's mound
| work was well nigh perfect and he
had Al support at all times. Della
ney's thrilling hit in the fifth, when
Lancaster seemed runless, copied the
game for the locals. 1t was one of
the longest drives on the home dia-
mond this year. Applauded from the
nearby bleachers, Delaney said it was
his first hit of the year, In any event
it was excellent, joke or not, and
came at exactly the right point.
High-class ball was in evidence
when a Dubuque hit to far left field
was chased and picked up on the
ground by L. Adrian and relayed Ell
lott to Young, putting the Dubuque
runner out at third by a close mar
gin. Adrian was put out in the second
trying to steal bases when he might
have waited for a forced run and thus
copied the opening tally, but redeem
ed himself in the next frame by cap
turing long left field fly.
McAuley scored in the 4th for Du-
buque by stealing second and taking
third when Tabor went to first. Car
roll scored on passed ball pitched
too low and hot for Blink Adrian to
in "a
9th when Elliott pulled HiXon off the
bag with a high peg. Riley scored on
CAROLS double.
Lancaster scored in the fifth on De-
laney's home run to left of center.
The wiry Irishman rounded the cir
cult with Slim Lewis pacing him like
race horse. In the 7th Young up,
singled. Delaney was safe on Tabor's
error. Singles by Hixon and Hyde
scored Young and Delaney.
The visitors put up the fastest ball
seen here this season and made a hit
with their gentlemanly conduct and
fine work. They were signed up at
the close of the game for a return en-
gagement next Sunday.
Sundays win gives Lancaster Is out

goes WITHOUT Saying C1dt udu ClS last

the statewide publicity they so deeply
deserve crack teams from all points
