ROAD OPENED
TO KLB0URN

H ,sAts#. S--~--~~~ns IEtse r sH5s @7f
The Baraboo road crew met the
KIbourn workers this morning J.
and the road to the DeIIs city is
now cleared of snow. The Bara
boo workers this afternoon put .
their efforts on the road to Port
age.
At a meeting of the Baraboo Ad
vancement association Monday even
ing al the city hall it was decided to
make an attempt to open the roa&
between Kilbourn and Baraboo ana
if his undertaking meets with sue
cess at not too great expense, other
roads leading to this city may be
cleared.
Nearly every merchant, who at
tended the meeting, volunteered his
services in the work or agreed to
hire someone to work in his place.
The road clearing crew started to-
ward Kilbourn today with shovels
and automobiles. Also one Of the
county highway trucks and a driver.
1t was learned here last night that
men from Kilbourn were working
this way to clear the road with teams
and pIows.
From the Baraboo slde a stretch of
about two miles is the only part Of
the road that an automobile could
not traverse easily according to men
present at the meeting Monday night
who had been over the road during
the day. M
A committee of three, Mayor Adolph
andre, Will OFT and A, II. Rotzoll
we're appointed to have charge of the
work today and a resolution was
adopted not to expend more than
500 of the $500 in the association
treasury in clearing the roads
Discuss Roads
A lengthy discussian of roads ano
the clearing of roads took place at
the gathering of the merchants and
several others numbering some IS in
all Monday Street Commissioner
John Steinbrink, William Halbersle-
ben, Sank County Highway commits
sioner and others were called on for
their views on the snow removal sub,
ject. The county highway commits
sioner said the job was some under
Caktng and would cost nearly 5000 a.
mile to remove the snow on all the
main highways. He, however, OF
fered the use of county highway
truck and driver.
SOtNHIbtS 1ouTICy hOaQS OpSH
The roads in Columbia county were
opened before the last snow with
graders according to reports at the
meeting but others said graders are
of little use in removing snow unless
it is freshly fallen. Flows, tractors,
and even new expensive snow r.
moving machines were discussed by
tn Baraboo men.
Business in Baraboo since many of
the maind roads are closed has nos
been as good as usual; garages have
felt the business slump more than
any of the Others and some are only
working on half day schedules. The
Baraboo doctors were well represent
ed at the meeting; it is quite an in.
portant item to have the roads open.

Loses to Morley IN State
Primaries; Many Hot Contests
Settled in Local Election

As expected for the past several
weeks, the primary vote. in Gunnison
county this week established . record.
In the neighborhood of 1900 votes
were cast, as compared to about 1lOO
last election. The high Democratic
vote, that counted in the Hanlon- Bailey
contest was 1882. as compared to 100
two years ago. and 992 four years ago.
The high Republican vote registered
in the Rubernatorial contest was 64s,
over twice that cast in previous cleo
tions. The hard-fought local contests
on the Democratic ticket and the Re
publican interest in the race for gov
ernor are responsible for the record
breaking vote.
As the state returns near compile
ton, II appears certain that Rockwell
will lose the nomination for governor
70 Morley by about 5000 majority.
This contest was Of prime interest to

carries the following account of the
trial:
Information against Uley Scheer
for possession and sale of moonshine
was next. He pleaded guilty to both
counts. He is an old prospector OF
the Tin Cup district, who got notice
that people wanted booze by then,
hanging out a white flag ut a cabin
and he would come down from his
mountain cabin, after seeing the flag
with spy glass. and bring the liquor.
II was stated in his behalf that he was
siSty-eight years Of age and was suf-
fering from cancer.
"ln the questioning by Judge Symes
Scheer declined to state where he got
the liquor, except that it was cached" I"
and denied that he manufactured Il.
The court looked leniently upon the
gray-haired prospector and Il could be
seen from his sympathetic eye that he
was sorry for him, that after SO many
years spent prospecting in the noun
tains, he would fall into the path of
vice, and so the judge sentenced him
to the Mesa county Jail for sixty
days"

that il he had known he was that pop

at all last year.
But the homecoming blowout turn
ed out to have been occasioned by y
fire in the work room Of the Gunni-
son Studio, which chanced to coincide
with the arrival Of the Wisemans
from Pagosa Springs by auto.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from an electric heating apph-
ance, and was extinguished before the
arrival of the fire truck. The loss Is
small. consisting Of two kodaks and q
small quxntity of chemicals. The fire
truck still has the ''heebie- -jeebies," !"
and found difficulty in making the
trip to and from the scene Of the dis

however, accuses 6rebuGs Of having
jimmied it this time.
