No County Bounty
Those who collected bounties on
their wolves and foxes early are the
lucky ones. The county board had
fixed the bounty on wolves and foxes
for the county and there is also a
state bounty on them. Those hunters
really got two bounties A decision
from Madison is that the county
cannot pay a bounty on animals GOV.
cred by the state bounty law, so in
the future wolves will draw only one
bounty of $50 and foxes 50. On an
imals not covered by the state boun-
ty law, which are found in parts of
he state only, like rattlesnakes and
moles the county board can fix a
bounty to be paid from county funds.
Thus the license fee fixed by the
county board on these animals will
still apply. Under the old system,
with state and county both, some
counties were paying more than 9th
ers and INSCRIPTIONS hunters col
lected the bounty in the coutny. that
paid the most, regardless of where
the animal was killed.
No bounties whatever can now be
paid by Sank county.

Of engineers how they must at times
be almost super-men to meet thu

and how sufficient wage must be paid

Financial Situation
The speaker declared, that under
the existing level of rates, the roads
are just making enough money to pay
interest on their bonds and some OF
them are making nothing for div.

RAILROADS AND
THEIR PROBLEM
Transportation Is Discussed by
Vice President F. W. Sargent of
Northwestern

Able, foreeful and convincing was
the address of F. w. Sargent, vice
president and general counsel. of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway at
the regular luncheon on Wednesday
of the local Kiwanis club. Local Off
Gals of the company were present
and the words Of the speaker were
received with keen attention.
In his introduction Mr.. Sargent dis
cussed recent measure introduced
in the United States senate by the
senior member from Wisconsin, the
object of the bill to reduce freight
rates on all agricultural products, in
Guiding live stock and farm machin-
cry, to a pre-war level. A report from
Chairman Smith of the Interstate
Commerce committee shows what ef.
feet the reduction, about 33 per cent,
would have upon the revenues of the
carriers-would wipe out the net in
come above fixed charges Of the rail-
roads of the western district, this
including the railroads of Wisconsin.
If the reduction were made the Chi
cago & Northwestern would have
enough left to pay operating expen-
ses and one-haf of the taxes-noth-
ing left to pay the remainder of the
taxes, nothing for materials, interest
br dividends.
Where a Dollar Goes
The company has no control over
taxes because these are levied by
the states and federal government
Current market prices must be paid
for supplies and materials bought
in the open market under competitive
bids, pursuant to the requirements of

the situation the speaker took a doll

1877 and last year the sum reached to
s9,277, 40S, an increase Of 1877 per cent.
Bad for Idaho
Mr. Sargent told Of an amusing
instance to show how thoughtless
men sometimes are. 1t was proposed
that the railroads be asked to haul
the 1923 potato crop from Idaho and
the great west to Chicago for moth
ing in order to save the producers of
that commodity. The roads replied
they would gladly do so If congress
or those back OF the idea would
square themselves with the potato
growers Of Wisconsin. That ended
the matter.
I The speaker went on to show that
to attempt to lower rates under the
present conditions would be disas-
trous to the roads.
William Toole & Son frightened
the tables with fine bouquets OF sweet
peas. They were greatly appreciat'
ed.

no maltreatment while at the hos
pitaI, according to his own statements

superintendent of the asylum, declar-

placed in bed in room of his own.
In the night he arose from the bed
and must have stormed about the
room. In the morning it was found
he had burns on his face, shoulder
and fingers, received by coming in
contact with a steam pipe that ran
through the room.
DR.. Drake declared Heenan had in
formed hospital attendants, after his
partial recovery, that he realized the
condition he was in when he received
the injuries because at the time he
did not know that he was being
burned by the pipe.
The story to the effect that the man
had been abused is utterly false, DR..
Drake declared. Brothers of the dead
man declare that he had been thrown
into dark room. The room has two
windows, DR.. Drake asserts, and the
rest of the brothers claim is equally
untrue
DR.. Drake declared that the burns
from the steam pipe had nothing to
do with the mans death. The cause
of death was exhaustion Of acute
mania, he said.
