Ass't State Jtoad Engineer.
Twelve assistant or district high
way engineers have been appointed
by the state Highway Commis
sion under the R. C. Dunn bill pass
ed by the last Legislature, and the
commission has a number of other
applications under consideration.
The state has been divided into forty
districts. Each district has from
two to four counties, arranged
according to the railroads, so as to
make traveling convenient. The
resident engineer, where there is
one, will virtually be a. superin
tendent of highways of the district.
He will have full charge of all work
done on highways where state aid
is given and will make the specifi
cations for the work and supervise
it. He will have no authority over
county or town road work, but will
furnish expert advice and make
suggestions to county commissioners
and town road officers when he is
called on. In this way the framers
of the law hope to have road work
hereafter done more intelligently
and with a view to permanence.
J. A. Rowat has been appointed
engineer for Chippewa, Swift and
Kandiyohi Counties N. Y. Taylor
for Meeker County and Wright
County. It is expected that by

PLAY GOODBALL
Win Ten Games Straight. Re
turn Game With Litchfield
Here Friday Afternoon.
In the best played game of the
season the Willmar High team de
feated Litchfield at the latter's
grounds last Friday. Although the
score was six to two at the finish,
at one time Willmar was two be
hind and won out only by heavy
batting in the last innings. Wil
liams pitched a great game and ex
cept for his one bad inning would
have scored a shutout. He allowed
seven hits and passed only one man,
while McGusker for Litchfield al
lowed nine'hits and passed two men.
Nelson, who relieved him in the
ninth was only saved by good sup
port. The game was very fast and
clean, and Willmar played errorless
ball. A return game will be played
next Friday, May 19. on the local
grounds. Those who enjoy the
National sport ought to come out
without fail to witness this game.
By defeating Atwater here last
Saturday by the score of 5 to 4, Will
mar kept her slate clean of defeats
for the year, and incidentally chalk
ed up her tenth straight victory.
Wliliams, who was pitted against
Litchfield the day before, was back
again and pitched even better, al
lowing only 3 hits and giving only
two passes. Anderson for Atwater
pitched a good game, but was wild
and had poor support. He issued
five bases on balls and four hits.
Owing to the high wind the game
was slow, and only a fair crowd
saw the game.
