News from Europe.

We have been, for the last twenty-four hours
momentarily expecting later news from Europe, by
the auxiliary steamship Sarah Sands, which left
Liverpool the 9th, and the Cunard steamship
Britannia, which left on the 10th of June, both of
which vessels now due at this port; the one
with intelligence of later date by three days than
what we have received, land the other with week
later. We have no doubt, that either one or the
other of these steamships will arrive to-day or to-
morrow. The most important intelligence which
we expect by these arrivals is from Ireland. From
its tenor we shall be able to form an opinion of the
probable course of events in that country.

PLANK ROADS.

Report on Plank Roads made By M
Philo White, February IL, 1913, in
The Legislative Council Of Wisconsin.
The select committee to whom was
referred the petition Of citizens of Ra-
cine and Walworth counties, praying
the incorporation of a company, with the
view of constructing Plank Road from
the village of Racine TO Rock River hav-
ing duly considered the subject-matter
of the prayer of the petitioners, beg
leave to report:
That it is obvious to all who attentive
ly watch the progressive Improvements
Of The day, that the vast and rapidly
multiplying products Of the soil and of
the mines Of Wisconsin,, and the no less
pidly-expandng commerce of our in
land seas and navigable rivers, demand
an increase of the facilities of in.ercom-
municallon between the business points
and the farming and mining districts in
terror. So active is the competition,
and so strong the rivalry between those
points, for commercial supremacy, that
that one which should chance to be lag
gard in her enterprise, would assurcdly
run the hazard OF being doomed to the
hndmost rank in the great Grace of i'm
provement," which so peculiarly char
acterizes the present as The age of "pro-
gresslon."
And so rapid are the developments
of the vast agricultural and mineral re-
sources of our territory, that we are adj
monlshcd that the period has already ar
rived, when there ought to be speedy
action towards the improvement of the
principal avenues between the business
points and the productive inland dis
tricts, SO as to quicken the transit OF
goods, DC, to the interior, and lessen
the time and expense of carrying our
staple products to market. Latent ele-
ments fgreat wealth lie dormant in the
soil of Wisconsin, which, with sufficient
ly augmented means of transportation,
would speedily duplicate our marketable
I products, and consequently enhance
