Neck from Revolver.
MURINE HELD AS AssAILANT
William Nurmi, Storekeeper at River
Branch, Admits Firing Shot and
Surrender to Sheriff.

Hjalrner Lehto, farmer near River
Branch, was shot and instantly kill
cd Monday forenoon while driving to
town with load of wood
Monday afternoon VIM. Nurmi,
who keeps a small store near River
Branch and also conducts a farm,
was arraigned IN municipal court on
a charge of murder and held without
bail for a hearing ON Feb. 2.
Lehto started for Hurley with a
load of wood Monday morning and
before he had proceeded very far
was Overtaken by NuTmi. who was
also driving TO town. Nurmi de-
clares that Lehto pulled pole from
his load and made advances which
Nurmi though. were threatening,
whsreupon Nurmi pulled a revolver
and fired one shot at Lehto, the
bullet striking him in the neck.
Lehto died instantly, the bullet hav-
ing struck vital spot.
Nurrni then came to town and

home of farmer in tnat vicinity
and later it was taken in charge by
Coroner Charbonneau.
There were no witnesses to the
shooting affair and full details will
probably not be known until the
hearing. 1t is believed by some
however, that feud existed between
Lehto and Nurmi, culminating in the
killing Of Lehto. That Nurmi an
tieipated trouble and prepared for il
is evidenced by tine fact that he CARR

Record Established Las. Year In
Concrete Road Building.

A record in concrete road build
ing was established in 1922. Stats
ties show that 100000 square
wards Of .concrete paving were placed
under contract durino he year, a
eain Of more than 40es over 1921,
he largest previous yea.
The construction thus provided for
and to large extent completed is
Equivalent to 7,4S0 miles of 1S foot
pavement. This would make two
roads from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. This is more than there
was in the country altogether up TO
1917.
Wisconsin during 1922 awarded
contracts for the construction of
about. $50 miles of concrete road,
constructed $50 miles. leaving
about 100 miles to be held over for
This years const ,uction. About the
same amount OF work will be done
in Wisconsin this year as in 1922.
Officials of various states in
which concrete y used extensively on
state highways declare hat even with
this great road building record the
output of motor vehicles continue
% outstrip by far the construction OF
roo roads for the motcrist.

OVER 400, 600 PASSENGER

State Geologist Predicts That Invest
ment in Passenger Cars Will
Reach $500, ZOO, 600

Madison,-Ovec 100000 pass
enger automobiles in Wisconsin, one
Cor every six and half persons,
representing a total investment of
mora than 100000, is Pre-
dictioL for the year made by w o.
Hotchkiss, state geologist, speaking
at meeting OF the Good Roads
9chool here this week.
The secretary of states office
estimates that there are about 1907
900 Of these cars on the 10000
farms of the state, IS cars for every
! 100 farms" Mr.. Hotchkiss said.
"The expense OF operating these
cars this year will be about $780,
100000. Obviously it is matter
If great importance to practically
every citizen that everything possible
/ he done to make the operation of
/ these cars as cheap as possible. If
our highways we're perfect this
/ S20C 10000 would be cut to one
million year. Ii they are permit
ed TO be in poor shape it will be
vastly increased"
Patrol maintenance of the 1900
rifles of state trunk and of the
5000 miles of county highways
must be continued, new construction
must be carried on where necessary
Cor the sake OF economy and bad
stretches of mud and sand must be
put in condition Hotchkiss contends.
Tine true economic solution is TO
spend that amount of money on high
ways maintenance and construction
which will make the total expenditure
Of oul citizens fcl car operation and
roal purposes as little as possible, -
Hotchltiss contends. "As long as
our citizens continue to run their
cars, either for profit or pleasure,
their prosperity will increase as we
approach this true economic solu-
tion of the problem.

tribute to his memory. May the
number of citizens as public spirited
as John Hardwood continue TO in

''Due to the hard times all citizens
feel lieenly the burden of taxation.
In this situation what is wise public
policy in regard 70 expenditures for
highways? Are they unnecessary
extravaganza which we can cut off
or on the other hand, if we cut them
eff will we be putting ourselves in a
position where we will be obliged to

Steel Market Strong.

Evidence that 1928 will be a boom
year in the steel industry continues
TO accumulate
Steel companies are becoming so
well sold up for the first quarter Of
the year that they are naming higher
prices on what they have left for that
delivery and are selling sparingly,
the Iron Age says "Manufaetur-
inc consumers have been increas-
ing their production schedules and
are seeking to place new orders.
mills have had heavy specifica-
tions from the automobile industry.
Other sources heard from are the
agricultural work., which now are
planning fifty per cent operation,
and builders of tanks and barges,
steam shovels and cranes. Large
expectations of house building are
seen in the effort of distf butors Of
merchant pipe to enter orters which
in some cases represent twice their
average allotments."
Students of the international steel
situation" the Iron Trade Review
says, "see in the F,ench invasion OF
the Ruhr district a possibility OF q
check on Germany's export activities
and consequent diversion Of business

WOULD RESTORE
SALOON BARS
Bill Introduced by Assemblyman
Mark Proposes to Repeal Sec
ton of Seversoa Law.
DOES NOT HELP ENFORCEMENT
Mark Believes That Present Law
Prohibiting Bars CompiicateS
Enforcement of Prohibition.

Madison. Bauooms will come in
to their own once more throughout
Wisconsin, providing bin introduc-
ed into the lower house of the Wis
consin legislature by Assemblyman
II. NJ. Mark, Hurley, is enacted into
law.
He proposed - remove from the
Severson prohibition law, the sec
tioh which prohibits the maintenance
of standing bars, screens. booths and
stalls. in soft drink parlors. This
part of the statute was upheld by
the supreme court last summer after
an attack on its oonstitutionality.
As enforced at present the Sever
son law provides that no person hav-
ing license to sell Misunderstanding
liquors, shall maintain standing bar
or counter Of any description at
which any such drinks or liquors are
consumed, in the place or room COW
cred by such license, and no stall,
booth or other iRclosure of any kind
in or connected with such place or
room shall be maintained. and the
windows and doors of any such place
OF room shall be INSTRUCTED by
screens, blinds, paint OF other arti-
clec so that c'ee~ and unobstructed
view of the interior may be had az
any time"
Assemblyman Mark proposes to re-
peal this sectioa in order that bar
rooms may be brought back with all
of their accoutrements.
He believes that the law as it is
now enforced has little influence to
aid in enforcement of prohibition and
/ complexities the enforcement Of It's
provisions.

A Community Danger Seen
Ry COmm'r. Kendall

The letter in full from DR.. c. F.
Kendall, State Commissioner of
Health. presented at the meeting
Monday when protest was made
against licensing carnivals, and
which was mentioned in the Journal
report Of Tuesday morning, Is here
printed at the request of Gardiner
citizens.
July 2, 1923.
Municipal Officers,
Gardiner, Me,
Dear srs:
Several times we have sent letters
to different municipalities in the
State. showing them the danger of
allowing so called carnivals exhibit
ing in their respective towns. 1t has
been demonstrated time and time
again that these so called carnivals
are a danger to the community, and q
menace to public health, in that
there is always a trail OF venereal
disease left behind whenever they
have shown or exhibited in any city
or town. "
We understand that there Is soon
to be a carnival shown in your city.
We are urging you as the protectors
Of the public health and safety of the
people, of your community, not to al
low or permit this or any other car
nival to exhibit in your city. We do
not mean to try to regulate the af-
fairs of any city or town, but we feel
that the welfare of the community
should be considered first.
Very truly yours,
c. F. KENDALL. NJ. D.
