TRACTOR HIGHWAY PATROL
COSTS LESS
Cheapest Way of Taking Care of
States Highways, Thinks Rock
County Commissioner.

Tractor highway patrol
ing is the cheapest way of taking care
of the states highways, Charles
Moore, county highway commissioner
of Rock county, declared speaking at
the maintenance day" session of
the Wisconsin Road School on Tues
day.
He declared that he had kept a
record of expenditures and found
that team patrol cost on an average
of $216.40 per mile; truck patrol
S205 per mile and tractor patrol
$126.54 per mile.
''The above figures do not reveal
the comparative amount of work
done by the different patrols which
can only be determined BY reducing
the labor actually done to horse
power units, he said Figuring
on this basis, we found that one
horsepower on our team patrol cost
$61296 per season, one horsepower
on truck patrols, $27922 and one
horsepower on tractor patrols,
$29199.
0. c. Rollman, division engineer
of the Wisconsin highway commits
sion, declared that the Wisconsin
system of marking highways started
in 1918 is the first best standardized
system in America and is being
widely copied by other states.

Opposed to
Tri-County Fair
Bayfield, County Decides to Co |,
Alone and Not Join with Ashland
and Iron Counties.

At their annual meeting held last
week the Bayfield, County Fair as
ISOLATION went on record as being
opposed to the proposition of uniting
with Ashland and Iron counties in a
tri-county fair.
The following resolution was
adopted unanimously:
at would be detrimental to the
agricultural interests of bayfield,
county If this county abandoned its
fair and merged with Ashland and
Iron counties in establishing a tri-
county fair, thereby losing the coun-
tvs identity, since Bayfield, county
has made remarkable strides in the
development of its dairy and fruit
interests, and should keep its name
in the foreground in any advertising
which the county engages in or sup
ports"
The movement for a tri-county
fair was started in Ashland county
last fall but nothing definite develop
ed. The Iron county board of
supervisors was asked to consider
the proposition in a communication
from the president of the Ashland
County Fair association.

exciting game of the season. Three
overtime periods of five minutes
each were necessary before a winner
was declared. Hurley nosed out a

Neither side scored in the first over

session Bessemer dropped basket
and again took the lead but before
the end of the period Morris again
came to the rescue and looped the
ring around the sphere that made a
third overtime session necessary.

Big Consumption
of Gasoline
More Than 2I2,50O,0O0 Gallons In
spected in Wisconsin Last Year
by State Agents.

Madison-Enough gasoline was
shipped into Wisconsin during 1924
to permit the use of more than SO
gallons per person, figures com
piled by T. ]. Cunningham, state oil
Inspector show. The total gasoline
inspected by state agents during ahe
year was slightly more than 212, $780,
geo gallons. Kerosene shipments
Were considerably less, being about
so 100000 gallons.
July showed the greatest gasoline
consumption of any month during
the year, figures indicate. During
that month alone, 26,262,750 gallons
were inspected by state officials.
October led all other months in the
amount of kerosene used, there hav-
ing been nearly 100000 gallons
consumed during that month.
The year of 1924 showed a great
increase in the amounts of distillates
or furnace oils" used, Mr.. Cunning
ham said. He estimated that be-
tween three and four times as many
distRlates were burned Sl 1924 as
in 1928 as the result of the advent
of the oil burning furnace.
Heretofore bulk sellers of distil-
lates have been found only in the
larger cities of the state, Mr. Gun
ningham said, but since the oil fur
mace has become popular, our de-
puties report such distributors in
most of the smaller cities Exact
figures on the distillate consumption
are not available inasmueh as our
inspectors have not been required to
handle anything but kerosene and
gasoline
Attorney General Ekern. however,
has made ruling that the law re-
garding oil inspection is so phrased
thar low quality fuel oils or distil-
lates may be included among the oils
that require state inspection and
hereafter our deputies will inspect
this type of oil in addition to gaso-
line and kerosene"
The state oil inspectors depart
ment is operated solely on the re-
ceipts derived from inspection. A
per barrel rate sufficient to pay the
expenses of the department is levied
on all oil inspected by the state,
which at present is three cents per
barrel. Forty-two inspectors are
employed by the department

Bullet Wound
Near Heart
Robert Kamke, of Winchester, SLOT
Following Quarrel that Started
Over Card Game.
(From Ashland Daily Press)


/ Robert Kamke, 2S, boarding house
proprietor of Winchester, is at St.
Joseph's hospital with bullet lodged
within an inch of his heart, and Ole
Langlad, So, also of Winchester, has
a bullet wound in his left arm, as the
result Of shooting which followed a
card game in the Turtle Lake Lumber
company's boarding house last Sun
day.
Authorities have left Eagle River
for Winchester to investigate, and
warrant has been sworn out for
George Riley, 40, woodsman, who
disappeared in the darkness after the
shooting.
According to Kamke, who, despite
the bullet near his heart, is able to
talk, he and number of others were
in the Turtle Lake Lumber COM
pany's boarding house Sunday morn
ing. A card game was in progress.
About half dozen men were in the
game.
George Riley, a woodsman, and an
Indian were near the table, arguing
about money which had changed
hands between them in the game
few minutes before
Riley slugged the Indian over the
head with blackjack, according to
Kamke, so Kamke stepped between
them and tried TO stop the argument
The officials of the lumber COM
pany forced the men to stop playing
cards, and Riley went off by himself.
About $3.50 in the afternoon, when
it was dusk, Riley appeared at Kam-
ke's boarding house, walked into the
room, and confronted him with
gun.
"Get out of Winchester now and
stay out for ever or I'll kill you" he
is alleged to have said.
He drew his revolver and aimed at
Kamke.
Langlad, woodsman, was enter
ing the building. and was stopping
over to let down his pack just as
Riley fired the revolver.
Instead of hitting Kamke, the bull
let struck Langlad in the arm, went
from the middle of the forearm to
the elbow, out the elbow, and into
Kamke's chest just below the heart.
Get out" Riley kept yelling, ac-
cording to Kamke. Riley pulled the
trigger several times, but the gun
plugged, and Kamke ran outside to
escape. Riley chased him for some
distance, and after the gun would
not work attempted to slug Kamke
over the head with it.
Kamke lodged and then turned on
Riley, who started running and dis
appeared into the darkness.
Then Kamke, weak from loss of
blood, staggered back to the boarding
house and collapsed.
Both men were brought to the hos
pital here and an X-ray taken of
Kamke to determine the exact loca-
ton of the bullet.
Riley, the man alleged to have
fired the shot, has not been located.

MISSING PAGEANT PROMOTER
LOCATED IN WEST

paper Man Who Disappeared
Suddenly, Heard From.

/. F.. Mckenzie, the Milwaukee
newspaper man who last year pro-
noted and managed the Apostle
Islands Pageant up until two weeks
before the date of the opening of the
show, when he disappeared overnight,
has been located in Washington, ac-
cording to the Ashland Press.
Mckenzie has been located at
Bremerton, Wash.
After remaining in Ashland for
almost year, during which time he
acted as publicity agent for the
pageant, Mckenzie suddenly dis
appeared. He purchased a new
Willis knight car and left the city
for parts unknown, leaving his wife
and daughter at Bayfield,. Efforts
to locate him proved fruitless, his
whereabouts first becoming known
this week with the receipt of a
telegram sent to the editor of the
Ashland Press asking for information
ab0ut Mckenzie.
McKenzie's disappearance started
many rumors, some of them being
OF rather disparaging nature, and
Tor time it caused clouds of gloom

However, the show was put on as per
schedule, but was a financial failure
cue to continued rain. In spite of
the failure the directors decided to
stage the pageant again this year.

Health
Things You Should Know
The Table Your Foe

Of the many sins against right
living, Overeating is perhaps the
chief, especially in cases of indi-
viduals in whom age has laid it's
restricting hand on bodily activity.
Many men have retired from bust
ness, only to inaugurate a system
of dietary that is an infinitely
worse burden. In such cases, a
protein, or, prOteins, become the
invisible foe. "Baked beans" and
dressings" are heavy protein
foods. Fresh meats are laden with
protein. Highly-seasoned foods
owe their evil effects to protein in
excess. Enough for you to know.
that protein is stimulant and Il
pushed, dangerous intoxicant.
Age brings in many people, tor
por of the eliminating channels of
the body. Obstruction and over
supply of food become deadly
enemy. Stupor after meals, dizzi-
ness, hardened arteries, heighten-
ed blood-pressure, auto-intoxica-
ton, apoplexy, not a very enticing
chapter. Many fatal cases of
brain hemorrhage can be traced to
Overeating. People just won't stop
and think! That neighbor of yours,
that died suddenly of paralysis at
sixty years of age; he should have
lived to eighty-had he lived right!
