Motoring weather is here.
So is the season for grade cross
ing accidents.
The average person is awed by
such disasters as tho recent Illinois
storm, yet gives scant attention
to grade crossing dangers.
Yet almost three times as many
porsou were killed in grade
crossing accidents in 1924 as were
killed by the tornado. A total
Of 2149 lost their lives.
We can do nothing to prevent
storms And what we do to pre-
vent grade crossing accidents, is
all too little, largely because, being
scattered, it is difficult to center
the public mind on them.-ElDora-

S. l.. Crawford, a resident OF
Baraboo for the past year or so,

James H. Hill to the Wisconsin
General hospital at Madison, where
he will receive medical treatment.
An appeal from a decision Of the
Town board of Franklin was heard
by Judge James II. Hill this morn
ing. The application was made by
Joseph Soeldner, resident of the
town, and three commissioners
have been ppointed to review the
determination of the town. They
will meet on May 10 and review
the case.
The insurance has not yet been
adjusted on the county jail garage
which was badly damaged in a fire
of Thursday night. Workmen were
to have started remodeling the
stable portion of the building into
garage on Monday but this work
must now be delayed until the in
surance is settled. At the time
the Jail was built, the garage was
used as a barn and much space in
the building is given over to stalls
and lofts which are of no use at
the present time. For this reason
they will be torn away and the en-
tire building given over to garage
space. In this way the county will
save money when stolen cars are
found or machines confscated, as
heretofore it has been necessary to
put the automobiles in public
garage.

COAST-TO COAST MAIL

Do you stop to realize how rapid
~ and how near cities have been
brought together In 1850, accord
ing to the Pathfinder it took "a
days for a letter to go from New
York to an Francisco-three days
by rail and q days by stage
coach.
Ten years later this time had
been cut to 10 IL days-two and
a half by rail and eight by pony
express.
In 1876 the transcontinontal de-
livery was made in 100 hours, but
only by special train. (The train
men refused to run at night.)
Two years ago the time required
was still between 95 and 100 hours
by ordinary mail train, depending
on connections.
Last year the debut of the trans
continental air mail gave 80
hour service. AS far as mail com
munication goes, San Francisco is
now no farther from Now Vo,,l1
