Buying Up Timber Lands.

In regard to the land business
as it came under his observation
during the past year, ]. 0. Thayer
land agent of the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore & Western Railroad, said
to-day in conversation with Wis
consin reporter, that it has been
very good. at has been SO good"
he said, chat I would give any
insurance company 900 if they
would insure me that the coming
year will be equally good, and [
would give any insurance company
$500 to warrant that the sales for
the month of March will continue
to the end as they have been since
the first of March"
In regard to the new line from
Rhinelander to Hurley, through
Oneida County, Mr.. Thayer said
it would undoubtedly open up
some very fine pine land. "Will
the new line strike any govern
ment land outside of the Flambeau
reservation ?"
Every little. Most of the land
is in the hands Of SPECTATORS. |
mean to say that all of the land
that was considered valuable is
taken up. There is some money
being made now in pulp-wood
land which few years ago was
considered worthless. Spruce
land, which would have been
allowed to go for tax titles a few
years ago, is worth from S. to $40
per acre. The demand for pulp
wood is the cause Of this. Some
men are buying up hemlock land,
anticipating that there will be a
demand for hemlock in a few
years"
Mr.. Thayer said that the coming
wood for finishing houses is red
birch. 1t takes the prettiest finish
Of any wood. It is much superior
to cherry. There is no doubt that
it will have a commercial value.
Heretofore it has been considered
utterly valueless. There is a great
amount of red birch in Northern
Wisconsin, and the land is being
quietly taken up.

A Bird Stops a Train.

La Crosse, Wis, March co.
Rather a queer circumstance is
reported as happening to the fast
mail from the East yesterday. At
a point a short distance this side
of Sparta there was a flock of
prairie chickens on the track.
They flew up, but one of them did
not get out of the way and was
struck by the engine and pitched
into the air. 1t fell on the bell
cord, back of the cab and rang
the bell. The engineer did not
know the cause of it and brought
the train to a standstill as soon as
the air brakes would do it. The
dead bird lying on the platform OF
the forward mail-car told the story
i Evening Wisconsin.

Mayor Hewitt, Of St. Paul, who
has way of saying ridiculous
things after studious preparation,
and very sensible things off-hand,
never gave utterance to a truer
proposition or one more vitality
important to TIE whole people than
when he said at a recent reunion
of college alumni: The funda-
mental doctrine, the underlying
principle of the best institutions, of
the noblest laws, is the right OF
the individual not only to control
himself, but to manage his own
property, the production of his
own hand or his own mind, in his
own way. This fundamental right
is now in danger. 1t is in danger
from the igonrant rich and the igno-
rant poor" In this lies a hint OF
the essential identity of all those
combinations, so much in the
fashion now, whose ultimate work
is to destroy free action and to
usher in the "new slavery" about
which 50 many have acclaimed
and in which SO few have really
believed.

The meeting of the Republican
League Of Wisconsin the past
week indicates unprecedented en-
thusiasm in politics. Over 100
delegates were present, represent
ing every county in the state, an
outpouring which has seldom, if
ever, been equaled at a state con-
vention when important offices
were to be filled. The proceedings
of this great league meeting will
be anything but pleasant news to
the enthusiastic but misguided
Secretary Of the Interior, who has
had the assurance to put Wiscon-
sin down for the Democrats this
year.
