Township Roads Are
Topic at Meeting.

Reduction Of township road taxes by
transfer Of town roads to county con-
troll was discussed at several meetings
Of engineers and road officials last
week. Indicating the trend of the
times, speakers pointed out that in
Iowa all town roads have been turned
over to the counties, in Michigan
transfer of town roads to the counties
is to be completed In five years, in
North Carolina all rural roads have
been turned over to the state highway
department, and in Pennsylvania, 10000
miles of town roads were turned over
to the state.
Discussion revealed that a process of
gradual transfer of town roads to the
counties has been under way in Mime
sofa for several years. AS the state
has taken over the trunk highways, and
the state aid system expanded, the
counties have gradually taken over
other roads. This process was acceler-
ated by the distribution of one third
of the gas tax to the counties, begin
ming in 1929. In addition to this, a
number of counties have various CO.
operative arrangements by which they
do all or part of the road work for
the counties. This takes various forms
In one county all town road funds are
turned over to the county, and both
construction and maintenance done
under supervision of the county engin-
eer. In some others contracts for con-
struction on town roads are let through
the county engineers Office. In others
the services Of the engineer are made
available to the townships, and county
equipment rented to them when
needed.

Shot Missing Ducks
Poison Others Later

Shot that will not produce lead
poisoning and kill large numbers of
birds even after missing their original
mark, may soon have to be considered
as necessary step toward conservation
Of game, 1t Is indicated by Dr. T. M.
Magath, Of the section Of clinical path
ology Of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester,
MINI.
In recent news release of the
American Game Association, DR.. Mag
ath declared that lead poisoning of
waterfowl Is becoming increasingly
serious with low water conditions and
with greater accumulation of leaden
shot in the bottoms of lakes and
streams where the birds feed.
DR.. Magath reported this condition
after conducting thorough study Of
Bear Lake in Minnesota during the last
duck migration. When thousands of
wild ducks swarmed to this restored
lake, sportsmen reported that hundreds
were dying Of some disease. DIR.
Magath discovered the cause to be lead
poisoning. produced by shot taken into
the gizzards of the birds along with
food from the lake bottom.
He estimated that approximately 100
tons of lead is now present In the
4,000-acre mud bottom Of Bear Lake.
He found that six number shot taken
into the gizzard of duck will cause
its death. His investigation also dis
covered, he said, that lead poisoning
which does not prove fatal may bring
about permanent steriity in a male
bird.
up to the present time no very
practical suggestion has presented it
self for handling the situation" DR..
Magath reported, "and at least for the
present the fact must be faced that
annually especially during times of low
water. large numbers of wildfowl will
die from lead poisoning due to the
ingestion of shot. Moreover, as pleas
ant shooting becomes more popular
our fields will become loaded as well as
our lakes, resulting in some deaths
among upland birds"

| MANY VISIT
OUR FOREST
National Forester E. w. Tinker
Comments on Superior Ma
tional Forest.

The report on recreational visitors to
the Superior National Forest shows a
total of 55,652 visitors, 40,024 of whom
crossed the International Bridge al
Pigeon River, according to counts from
registrations at the Federal Ranger
Stations and campgrounds, just re-
ceived by E. w. Tinker, National For
ester in charge of the Lake States
with headquarters at Milwaukee, Wis.
Supervisor r. A. zeller of this city
Supervisor of the Superior, Classics
these visitors as 24,880 transient tour
lists; 21,6O0 hotel and resort guests;
1882 campers; 4410 picnickers; $50
summer homers and their guests. OF
the total number of these visitors
52,537 were classified as motorists;
5000 came in by railroad; and 81 hiked
the forest trails.
Located between the Canadian line
and Lake Superior, the largest body OF
fresh water in the world, the Superior
has long enjoyed distinction, not only
on account of its estimated billion and
a half board feet of marketable tim
bert is also a land of lakes-its
waters Astounding in fish, it's woods the
habitat of big game.
1.-THE Superior contains a gross area
of 1,713,610 acres, but only about SOC
of it is owned by the Government
which makes all round development
rather complex problem. The State
owns 253,242 acres, and 532, 1894 acres
are owned by private individuals. Only
in isolated cases is any of this land
adapted to agricultural use. The soil
is of glacial origin, dries out quickly
and there are no alluvial deposits.
The Superior contains a wilderness
area of approximately 1000 square
miles, veritable canoeist's paradise
that has been withdrawn from any sort
of cultural development in the form OF
roads, summer homes, hotels and re-
sorts. Recreational use is restricted
entirely to canoeing, camping and
hiking. Timber will be harvested in
such manner that recreation values
will not be destroyed.
In addition to the consolidation OF
lands under one ownership through
purchase and exchange, the initiation
of planting program that will bring
back . to productivity severely burned
acres, and the enlargement of timber
operations, the building up of a summer
residential population is highly de-
sirable, Mr.. Tinker pointed out. There
are literally thousands of sites avail
able for the building of summer homes
where the virgin appearance has been
retained, and the family may enjoy a
genuine change from the completely OF
city life in rustic cabin and under
natural conditions, in keeping with the
slenderer incomes and increasing leis-
ure. Mr.. Tinker says he is looking te
local cooperation for the broadcastine
of the beauty and livableneSs of this
enlinently scenic forest, one of the
choicest remnants of the Nations rest
and refreshment regions. It is the con-
ception of the Forest Service, Mr. Tin
ker declared, that such usage of Ma
tional Forest lands belonging to the
public is higher than the economic
value that will be produced. The move
ment is indicative of the trend OF
modern life, and the inherent desire
of the American people for outdoor
recreation.

Townley classed the small
town newspaper as a scandal
monger in his recent speech at
Spooner. Townley only feels
right when he is wrong. If the
small town newspaper printed
what they actually thought of
Townley and his racket, they
probably would be accused OF
going through his personal
mail. Besides, small town
newspapers don't use such

RATE CUT is DENIED
State Commission Refuses
Gas Patrons Plea.

Petition of industrial patrons of
the Citizens Gas Company for rate
reductions has been dismissed by
the public service commission, after
pending since last December.
The dismissal order, written by
Chairman John w. McCardle, was
approved by commissioners in con-
ference Friday afternoon.
McCardle set out that the pres
ent rate Of the company to indus
trial concerns is 3.02 per cent lower
than average similar rates in cities
OF comparative size. It also is
stated that the company incurred
a $l09,254.74 deficit in 1881. and
that court rulings, paving the way
for municipal ownership. have
clouded the firms status SO that
bonds for betterment and improve
ment are without market.
Combined, these factors make rate
reductions impossible, McCardle
held.
Several minor bus and truck routes
were approved by the commission.
and agreed rate reductions of the
Traction Light and Power Company
for Walton, Ingalls,, Home Place,
Onward and Bunker Hill were or
dered.
