Quickly the Bear Shuffled off
through the woods until he came to
the den of the Fuzzy Fox.
'.Come with me, Mr.. Fox. and

So the Bear hid in the bushes

Letters From Journal Readers
HIGHWAY COM. WRITES
REGARDING TROY ROAD

The following is from a letter
written by an officer of the Wisconsin
Highway Commission regarding the
matter of keeping state trunk high
ways open during the winter, and
especially relating to the Town OF
Troy road controversy:
There is no question in our minds
hut what the County Highway COM
mittee has full authority over all
Trunk Highways insofar as main
tenance in general is concerned, but
Section S407 provides that the town,
village or city in which the road lies
is absolutely responsible for snow re
inoval unless the county has taken
action to keep such road open.
Therefore, individuals certainly
have no right to do any maintenance
work of any kind on the public high
way without permission of the au-
thorities in charge An individual
might just as we'll assume that he
rad the right to patrol road in any
way he saw fit, or to handle the snow
conditions in any way he might see
fit.
We are rather inclined to believe
that, while the town board in this
case might have gone little beyond
the bounds of reason in handling the
situation, on the other hand, there l.;
10 question but what the individual
truck or motor bus owners had no
legal right on the road whatever in
sofar as handling the snow situation
is concerned.
If the town failed to open the road
for traffic, they could bring action
against the town and compel them -
do it or could open up fences so they
could travel through fields, but it is
very doubtful under our present law
as to whether town board can be
compelled to keep a road open for
motor vehicle traffic at all times or
whether they can be prohibited from
rowing snow back on the road IN
order to run sleighs during the winter
months.
Yours very truly,
Wisconsin Highway Commission

BRITISH BATTALION
RUSHED TO SUDAN
Reinforcements Sent as Re-

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 1.-THE British
government has sent a battalion of
troops to reinforce the British garri-
son in the Sudan as the result of a
clash between Egyptian and British
soldiers at Atbara, following disturb
ances in which the Egyptian troops
are said to have attacked the British
with bricks at their barracks.
According to British official dis
patches the trouble started at Khar-
tum Saturday when military cadets,
who paraded with rifles, refused to
give up their arms upon returning to
their school. The cadets were sur
rounded and arrested by British
troops.
Yesterday the Egyptian railway
battalion at .Atbara made a demon
stration after which the Egyptian
soldiers were confined to their bar
racks from which they attempted to
escape. When they attacked the
British troops with bricks and other
missiles. the British soldiers fired
upon them. causing 19 casualties.
A minor demonstration at Port
Sudan was dispersed without trouble
The disturbances in the Sudan are
likely to- have disquieting political
effect upon the forthcoming negotia-
tions in London of Said Zagloul
Pasha, the Egyptian premier. accord
ing to British officials. The officials
assert there is no thought Of the Brit
ish government giving up it's rights to
the Sudan. and that demonstrations
such as those reported will only make
more difficult the establishment Of
the Sudan's status in relation to
Egypt and Great Britain.

BIG FOREST FIRES
MENACE YOSEMITE
One Blaze of II in West Eat
ing Way Rapidly Toward
National Park.
By the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO. August T.
Eleven major forest fires, blazing in
California, Nevada. Oregon and
Washington today, continued to burn
into virgin timber and one was eat
ing its way along the scenic banks of
the Merced River toward Yosemite
National Park.
The Merced River fire. which was
five miles from Ell Portal entrance to
the Yosemite Valley. this morning
was being fought by zoo civilians and
$50 convfcts from a road camp nearby.
The fire already has burned over H.
00e acres, including 1000 heavily tim
bered lands in the Sierra National
Forest. ,ss
Flanes Sweep Mountains.
At Riverside, Calf, 100 men are
fighting a forest fire which has burn
the last week.
Heavy. showers lessened the fire
hazard in some parts ef the mountain
range, although no rain fell near the
scene. of the present fire.
In Oregon the forest fire situation
within the White Mountain National
Forest and adjoining timber assumed
serious aspect when five new fires
were reported to the Office Of the
forest supervisor.
Probably the most serious Of these
is situated in an inaccessible region
4 miles north of Anthony Lake and
about 20 miles northwest of Baker.
All the fires are believed to have been
caused by lightning.
Fires In Washington.
In Washington forest fires in north
ern Whatcom and Kittitas Counties
and Rainier and Chelan National For
ests were reported.
In the Chelan National Forest what
was reported to be the largest blaze
of the season in this district was
burning on Trout Creek, a tributary
of the West Fork of the Methew River.
1t has already burned over 500 acres
of timber.
Power and telephone lines. includ-
ing lines of the Associated Press,
were put out of commission for a
few hours yesterday, when the forest
fire near the Nevada California State
line jumped the Truckee River.
The fire, which had been. sweeping
down the Truckee River canyon to-
ward the little lumber town of Verdi
all afternoon, swerved last night and
was heading for Crystal Peak, on
the sides of which lies valuable tim
ber Forest rangers took charge of
the situation and put force of 200
men to fighting the fire.
