and requests for an expression of the
views of the department of agriculture

nounces that since the first migratory
bird law became effective, March 4
1913, the department has received
many communications from nearly
every section of the country indicat-
ing very substantial increase in mi
gratory birds, particularly wild ducks
and geese. He states, however, that
some persons assert that migratory
birds, especially migratary wild fowl,
while having increased greatly in
numbers for some years after the mi
gratory bird law became effective,
have really decreased during the
past few years and that impressions
OF an Increase are gained because
some of the birds now are concentrat-

FIRST UNIONS

Trade unions were legalized in Eng
land in 1924, but such organizations
or combinations of wage earners for
the purpose of maintaining or i'm
proving the conditions of their en-
ployment have existed continuously
from the latter part Of the seventeenth
century The earliest actual record of
such a combination is that of the
wooden workers of the southwest of
England. which is mentioned as exist
ing in 100 and frequently referred to
in Devonshire, Somerset, Wiltshire and
Worcestershire throughout the 18th
century. The London tailors can be
shown to have been in continuous
combination from at least 1920, when
an act of parliament was passed to
restrain them

YOUNG HILL ON
PLATTEVILLE RID.
TO BE IMPROVED

AS soon as conditions permit Com
missioner Mink will have men and
teams on Young hill on S. T. L. 81
between Lancaster and Platteville.
The long hill on each side will be i'm
proved and reduced to per cent
maximum grade with bad turns elm
mated At the recent election the
town of Platteville voted $4,000 for a
new bridge crossing the run at the
foot of the hill. This sum will be met
by a similar amount from Grant coun-
ty, making total of $4,000 for a
new bridge In addition the town vot-
ed $1,000 for grading on the hill and
$500 will be raised by subscription.
This met with like amount will
make $1,000 available for work on
the two sides of the hill and when
the job is completed it should be a
great improvement. The Young hill
has long remained the only serious
bad spot on the Lancaster-Platteville
road It is a fine thing to have 1t
cleaned up.

ELECTED BY
TWO VOTES
Muscoda Assessor Battle
Staged in Court.

Frank POspichal was declared elect
ed as assessor of MuscOda in an Off
cial vote recount conducted by Judge
Smalley in circuit court Saturday He
received 266 votes to 264 for his OPP
pOnent, Emery Miller.
The court thus reversed the deci-
sion of the board of canvassers. at
MuscOda when seven votes were
thrown out and Miller was declared
elected by three votes.
At the April 2 election Pospichal
was declared elected by majority of
votes. The decision of Judge Small
ey places the situation exactly where
it was the day after election.
The court heard evidence on var
ious contested votes, the parties
whose votes were questioned being on
the stand. Then the ballots were
brought out and the scene changed
from court room to an election
place while Judge Smalley and his
assistants took the votes one by one
and counted them. Each contested
ballot was taken up and settled &C
cOrding to statute governing it.
1t is not considered likely that the
defeated side will appeal Assessing
will be over long before any decision
could be arrived at and there is no
surety at all that the high court
would not sustain Judge Smalley.
The Miller side, which is the Mar
Gus side, gained all the other village
offices except that of assessor. They
claimed they cared nothing for the
office itself but wished to stop prac-
tees of bringing people in to vote
who were not qualified to vote.
The other side claimed they were
framed" at the election recount and
took an appeal to get their rights.
Muscoda and its feud have occupied
more or less attention for years. The
fight never ceases. Everything is tax
en- up and if one side goes one way
the other side goes the other way for
pure contrariness. The reason why
people in a little town waste their
lives pickering is an eternal mystery
