Accordingly a bill was intro-
duced today which would make
available $2,700,000 for the pur-
pose. Like the reclamation fund
the good roads fund is to be per-
petuated under the provision of
the Gore bill and will go to the
different counties in the state in
twelve semi-annual installments.
The money will be returnable in
ten years with 5 per cent interest.
The idea is a new one and
should meet with favor generally
but considerable opposition is ex-
pected from the interior depart-
ment and reclamation service in
particular, because the diversion
of any of its monies would be
onsidered an impairment of the

Robbers Fail to Blow Safe
W. II. Witcraft. manager of
the Badger-Hudson Grain Co., of
this city was considerably sur-
prised on reaching his office on
Monday morning to find that the
safe of the company had been
soaped, nit ix) glycerine placed in
the cracks of the safe ready to be
blown, with the exception of the
fuse. In the crack of the door at
the top was left a two-bladed
barlow knife and on the floor was
a quantity of soap, a candle and I
a sack containing two curtains
made of heavy ducking.
From all indications, the rob-
bers were just in the act of blow-
ing the safe when they were
frightened and left in a hurry, as
Mr. Witcraft states that they left
the candle burning. Jas. Mc-
Laughlin. who lives just across
the track from the elevator,
states that about 1 o'clock Mon-
day morning he was aroused by
the barkng of his dogs and their
actions in jumping against the
tloor. as if some one was rocking
them. He got up. went out in the
yard and gave them a good
cussing" and savs that lie not-
iced a light in the office buildng.
but thought nothing of it and
went back to bed.
It is thought that the robbers
heard him and made their get-a-
way. It was only a few minutes
after, that a freight train arriv-
ed to unload cattle and the
thieves did not have time to re-
turn to their work.
Kntranee was made to the of-
fice by prying the lock off of the
window on the north side, with
an iron key. taken from a nearby
Imix car. Under the corner of the
levator building was found a
small bottle of nitro glycerine
and a fuse, and near the creek
bank north of the building was
found a quantity of fuse and
candles.
There was only a small amount
of change in the safe and the
robbers would have gained noth-
ing by blowing it. Local authori-
ties are working on the case, but
up to the time of going to press,
no clue lias been found —Osage

Through loyalty to this bene-
