Some Interesting News
Found in Local Ads.

1t always pays to read the ads,
even if only in quest of news. For
instance, the local classified ads. in
this issue give the information
that
HI. H. KEGS has established a fish
market in the city. He buys his fish
from the st. Croix Lake and Missis-
sippi river fishermen and makes
regular trips through this territory.
He has rented the Kramer building,
just south of Dunn Bros. store to
use as his local fish market on certain
days of each week.
1t is also interesting to know that
there is a livery service in town that
is available, and not dependent upon
good weather or open roads. Frank
S. .Pomeroy is making livery trips
with his team, and advertises day and
night service.
George C. Simpson has enlarged
his field to include pump repairing.
Those who have DeLaval separat-
ors will be glad to learn of the free
repair service to be given at the c
Carisch G. Son establishment one day
the latter part of this month.

Wigsen's Pin Shippers
Win Local Match

Elmer Wigen's bowling quint won
out in a three-match series over
Greg. Busby's five, taking the final
round Tuesday evening.
The scoring was remarkable--but
the remarks made on the subject
were not for publication. DR.. For
tune and Trig. Snuland, lead-off
men for their respective teams, kept
the spectators tense in a wicked
fight for honors, Trig. finally gaining
an advantage by picking up spare.
Busby made a strike in one game.
and Stan. Chinook is to be ruled
out of the league for making over
$50 i'm the final session.
A quaint is to be selected from these
two teams and sent to the tournament
at Appleton, with instructions to sit
silent but intent, on the sidelines.
A match was to have been played
between this league and bunch from
the Delevan school for the blind, but
the blind boys peevishly refused to
submit to being hancuffed, so the
match, which should have been a
close one, was called off.
This is not an advertisement, and
we positively will not accept any re-
Enumeration for it, especially if of
fered in the form of comps" to flu
ture games. I'VE watched one!)

Pierce County Couple
Celebrate Golden Wedding

Sunday, Dec. 80, the Golden Wed

was celebrated at Our Savior's South
Rush River Church, and in spite OF
the stormy weather a large number
came to hcncr these two worthy
people.
The festival began with services
in the forenoon and bounteous din
ner was served in the basement OF
the church. Afterwards all assembl-
ed in the church again, where the
local pastor, Rev. 2. Ordal spoke
first, followed by Rev. L. X. Aaberg,
neighboring pastor. = Both brought
forth the many blessings the honored
couple had lived to enjoy, and the
high esteem in which they were held
by their many friends.
Rev. z. Ordal, in behalf of all
present, presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson with purse containing
$82 as a remembrance of the day,
for which Mr.. Anderson expresses
hearty thanks for both. 1t was day
which will long be remembered by
all present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson moved

to America with his parents when he
was years old. He settled first in
Dodge cocInty and then came to
Pierce county 81 year later, swhere he
has resided ever since.

Minnesota Commission
Replies to Anderson

Early last month Wisconsin High
way Commissioners AL. C. Anderson
of Menomonie stated in a letter to
The River Falls Journal that "Minne-
sofa does not cooperate with its
adjoining states in regard to inter-
state bridges" Minnesota said
MI. Anderson in his letter, 'will not
pay one dollar towards bridge at
Osceola, Grantsbulrg or any other
point"
In reply to Mr.. Anderson's charges
Mr.. John H. Mullen, First Assistant
Commissioner and Chief Engineer of
the Minnesota Highway Department.
writes The River Falls Journal as
follows:
River Falls Journal,
River Falls, Wis.
Gentlemen:
The marked copy of your issue of
December 6, was received and with
reference to the last paragraph OF
the article referred to would say that
Minnesota has not refused to cooper
ate with Wisconsin on trunk high
way construction. As matter OF
fact the two bridges mentioned, Wis:
Osceola and Grantsburg. are not
trunk highway connecting points as
we have no state trunk highway
reaching the State boundary at those
locations and consequently the State
could not do anything toward pro-
viding funds for reconstruction of
those bridges.
Any cooperation from our side of
the line on the projects above men
toned would have to come from Pine
and Chisago Counties
There are several points along the
boundary where our trunk highways
meet those of Wisconsin, Wis: La
Crosse, Winona, Red Wing, Hudson.
Saltwater and st. Croix Falls.
The Lacrosse bridge is a free
bridge and we are planning very
substantial Improvement to connect
with it on our side of the river.
At Winona the city has up to now
maintained toll bridge but we have
made arrangements for eliminating
the toll during the coming year so
that there will be no toll charges.
There is free bridge at Red Wing,
but the city of Hudson maintains a
heavy toll charge on their bridge.
At Saltwater the city of Saltwater
maintains a free bridge and at ST.
Croix Falls there is bridge built
jointly by the two states.
From this you see that Minnesota
is at least doing all of her share to
provide free bridges across the river
at points where the State actually
has jurisdiction.
We will always be glad to cooper
ate with Wisconsin in every way that
is legally possible to maintain proper
lines of transportation.
Yours verytruly.
MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPT.
John III. Mullen,
Chief Engineer.

Eight More Days to
Guard Inspection

on their toes and working hard to be
ready for the ordeal.
Last Monday evening the drill
period was given over to instruction
in the Manual of the Pistol. A good
many of the NV men hadn't had the
arms issued to them before, and
some of the old timers were pretty
stale. so things went pretty ragged
for while. At the end of an hour
however, Lieutanant Phillips had
everybody workily smoothly.
A special Stag Party, for company
members and their guests only, will
be given in the Armory week from
Monday night. Sergeant "Red'

and half, will go back onto the pay
roll on full time to care for the
trucks about March 1st at $125.0O pei

to December 81, 1928, has been ap.
proved and sent into Chicago fol-
payment. The checks will probably
be along in about two weeks.
