Claim East Branch of Montreal
Is the Main Channel.

Madison-W Wisconsin sought today
to establish its defense of the
Montreal river boundary between it
and Michigan by report that the
east branch Of the river is undoubted-
ly the main channel. The east branch
is the present boundary. Michigan
is seeking to fix the boundary
along the west branch.
r. NJ. Rieser, special counsel for
Wisconsin, introduced at the hearing
here excerpts from a report compiled
in 1909 of private investigation at
the instance of John +. Bird, former
attorney general of Michigan.
1.-THE Montreal river has rocky,
stable channel, not likely to shift, |"
the Investigators report says" |
estimate that the discharge of the
east branch at its junction with the
west branch was more than twice the
discharge of the west branch. The
flood wood lodged in the east branch
at the junction is three times that in
the west branch These features
mark the east branch as a stream of
much greater power"

State Contractors Must Be Qualified
to Get Job.

Madison-A new system has been
instituted by the Wisconsin highway
commission where a contractor for
road work must show that he is
qualified before his bid on work can
be accepted. This is expected to
eliminate troubles that have been
experienced in letting work to con
tractors who were unable to complete
jobs to the satisfaction of the COM
mission.
For some time the commission has
been carefully tabulating the work
Of contractors who have done high
way work for the last three years,
and their qualifications are based on
past performances. Contractors who
are regarded as qualified to ED
in 1925 will Immediately receive
notice to that affect. Contractors
not receiving such notice and who
wish to bid, must take the matter up
with the highway commission before
submitting bid.

Hurley Loss. 10 Bs.semer.

In nip and tuck battle Bessemer
defeated Hurley at the local gym
last Friday evening IS to ~. The
teams were evenly matched and
furnished one of the best contests Of
the season, and it was but by mere
chance that Bessemer scored basket
from the field in the last act and
gained q one point lead which they
held TO the end. At the half the
score stood ii all. A free throw
gave Hurley the additional point in
the third quarter Hurley missed a
number Of chances at free throws in
this quarter.
Bessemer scored another one point
victory on Saturday evening by de.
feating the Ashland High school
team Fl to 90 Ashland's defeat
came as big surprise as they had
just trimmed Wakefield Is to IL and
Wakefield has had the edge on Bess-
emer all through the season. But
like baseball the best basket ball
team does not always win.

Uss OF Commercial Fertilizers
Increasing.

Madison-The use of commercial
fertilizers is increasing rapidly in
Wisconsin according 70 w. II Strowd
of the Wisconsin Department Of
Agriculture.
In 1924 Wisconsin used $4,000
tons as compared with Z 800 tons in
1913 and 1900 tons il. d09. This
means an increase of 400 per cent in
10 years and 1000 per cent increase
in S years.
"Since soil fertility is the states
most valuable asset-the very foun-
dation Of prosperity in Wisconsin, we
may very well ask the effect Of
commercial fertilizers on the present
and future productiveness Of our
soils" Mr. Strowd declares.
Nr. Strowd contends that there is
right and wrong use Of fert.liz-
ers and asserts that while some fer
tilizers act on plant food others
merely stimulate the soil to produce
more.

Authorities in Amy Efforts Made
to Clean Up.

DR.. Fawcett, superintendent of
Pureair sanatarium at Bayfield,, adj
dressed the Hurley Woman's club at
its regular meeting, Saturday. March
7th. DR.. Fawcett told some very
interesting facts about the cause of
tuberculosis, the means of detecting
ITS presence in the system, the ways
in which it is commonly spread, and
the method of treatment used at the
sanatarium. The sanatarium at

more economically than any tub
erculosis sanatarium in the state,

slightly less than $14.0O The
doctor extended very urgent in
vitation to the residents of Iron
county to come to Bayfield, and visit
the sanatarium.
Five new names were added to the
membership roll at this meeting,
making total membership of As.
The club voted the amount of
$4,000 to the Pureair sanatarium as
its share towards the purchase of an
A-ray machine, the various organiza-
tons in the three counties having
guaranteed donations for that pur-
pose.
The matter of purchasing the
magazine subscriptions for the public
library which has been done an
nually for several years, was referred
to the chairman of the library COM
mittee, who was authorized to confer
with the librarian and order
to the extent of $4,000
The club passed unanimously the
following resolution:
WHEREAS, the recent trial has
brought to our attention the fact that
conditions actually exist
within our city, and
WHEREAS, we realize that no
public officer can accomplish much
toward law enforcement without the
moral support of the community,
BE 1T RESOLVED, that we, the
members of the Hurley Woman's
club wish to go on record as
heartily in support of all efforts to-
ward law enforcement to the end
that our city may be a better and a
cleaner place in which to live, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that these resolutions be spread upon
our records and copies sent to the
sheriff, the district attorney and
the governor of our state.

SCHOOL BOARD
MET ON MONDAY
Applications For Additional Schools
Are Heard

In addition to the strenuous work
incident to a regular meeting of the
School Board of Shenandoah County
in solving the many problems con-
fronting it and taking care of de-
tails, the board at its meeting on
Monday was confronted with appli-
cations for rural schools in sections
of the county where facilities are
lacking. Many of them had merit
and most of them are considered IA
vorably by the board, but a lack of
funds plus the State inhibition
against the employment of emerg-
ency teachers places the board in a
position where some requests must
be denied.
An effort will be made to meet
these wants through a special per-
NIT from the State Board of Educa-
ton and the County Board, through
superintendent G. V Shoemaker has
taken the matter up with the State
Board.
A delegation of New Market citi-
zens appeared before the board and
convinced it of the necessity for an
additional teacher in the school in
hat town. Because of the discontin-
uance of a private school the en-
rollment in the public school in
creased to such an extent that an
additional teacher was made neces-
iary.
The board paid all current ac-
counts and transacted a large volume
