Portage. Wis, A." for the purpose of ma
turing measures TO impress upon congress
the necessity of making immediate and
sufficient appropriation to secure the I'M

propose TO continue in the work at their

The Story.


For number Of weeks we have failed,
for several reasons, to direct attention to
the very interesting "continued story"
which is now being published on the
fourth page of the JOURNAL. The
writer is Mr.. HANS B. WARNER, well
known to most of our people. lie has
laid the plot O. the narrative in Pierce
county-with sectional divisions-and
makes some of our most prominent citi-
zens leading characters. AS ''descrip-
tive" writist, we think Mr.. w. displays
marked ability. He deals quite extern
sively in Figures of speech which may
not prove over interesting to some, but
for the class it is intended to hit, it fills
the bill exactly. We are assured the
main incidents are founded entirely on
facts.

The Prescott JOURNAL has very SEN
sble article in its last issue, in reply to
an article in the Herald, in regard to the
validity of the ,emption law passed
last winter. The State has no more
business with the railroad lands in that
county, than it has with land in Mime
sofa and settlers who place any depend
ence upon the law will find that they
were wrongly advised. 1t is as plain as
the nose on mans face, and it is also
equally plain why the law was passed,
and why men arc advised to locate on
those lands. There is nothing like cheap
capital, but this is altogether too cheap
for permanent Gse.-H Hudson Times.
