Commissioner Peeved
Over Highway Item

1t has been the experience of this
newspaper that state commissions,
as we'll as others who constantly de-
mand free publicity, seldom if ever
feel called rpon to show any hint of
appreciation for the columns of
space donated to them, but they are
always ohnny-on-the-spot with adj
verse criticism whenever, by the
widest stretch of imagination, they
can find a hint of lese majesty toward
themselves.
A couple Of weeks ago The Journal
contained an item stating simply that
a representative of the Ramsey
county, Minnesota, Highway Com
mittee appeared before the Pierce
county board, and that he inferred
that Ramsey might be willing to
help Pierce in the matter of road con-
struction. He also indicated desire
to place st. Paul road signs on Pierce
county roads.
The item was correct in every de-
trial. but this week we have received
a letter from Highway Commissioner
Al. C. Anderson voicing mighty
peeve.
"The casual reader" says Commits
sioner AL, would naturally get tn
impression that Pierce county high
ways were being overlooked by the
state, which is contrary to the facts. "
THAT, of course, is really too silly
to consider, and suggests very strong
ly some of the outbgrsts of one Of our
local machine politicians).
"What authority this representa-
tive from Ramsey county had to in
innate that Minnesota money could
| be expended on Wisconsin roads does
not appear; neither is the gentleman's
name mentioned nor his official capa-
city," says Al.
(The gentleman, as we suspect
Commissioner Anderson very well
knows, was Mr.. Regnold f the RAM
sey county highway commission
Mr.. Regnold first asked the Pierce
County Board for Donation toward
the new highway west Of the Prescott
bridge but when that was not forth
coming he changed to the intimation
of Ramsey county aid for Pierce
county,.

senator, sit looks to me as if it is
propaganda to get ST. Paul signs on
the Wisconsin roads, where they will

Comment on Report OF 1928
A pril &c, 1928.

A pril &C. 1928.
Mr.. Walter Sutherland,
Clerk of School Board,
River Falls, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
On April IS, Supervisor Thomas of
this department visited your high
school. | see from the report that
due to a number of problems under
consideration, the supervisor was not
able to see as much Of the teaching
work as he did last year. In great
majority of the classes that were OBJ
served the work was very satisfact-
DRY. The teaching load of your sem
ior high school is satisfactory and the
curriculum that is being offered at
the present time is well rounded out
enc. Mr.. Thomas states that he met
all the members of your board and
also a committee of representative
citizens who discussed with him
several of the pressing problems of
your district. At the time of this
meeting it was pointed out that it
would be impossible for the normal
school to care for your vocational
work this year. The supervisor sug
gested that the work in domestic
science be provided for by fitting up
the room on the third floor, and that
agriculture be given so that the boys
may be given an opportunity to do
vocational work.
Your present building is in very
poor condition and not large enough
to accommodate your present pupil
needs. The high school assembly

GUIDE

ANGLERS
Salt Water Finny Tribes Now

Deep Cove, on the Bay.

Back to the Bay" is the advice
of the guide to the week.ender after
the saltwater finny tribes. Trout
are on the rampage and the big
fellows, as one angler put it. are
fighting one another to attack the
fares offered by the fishermen.
Blue fish. or taiIors, while nos be1
ing plentiful, are in evidence. In
other words, the gamey brethren
have been struggling along but are
now beginning to school.
Hardheads, although not 80 large
as earlier In the season, are being
caught in goodly numbers along
with the Norfolk spot, which have
proved one of the most consist ent
biters since their arrival.
With all this encouraging news
the guide selects one of the near
est and best saltwater fishing
grounds on the bay, Deep Cove.

the city, It can be reached by auto
