SALE OF CERTIFICATES
COMMUNICATED

Editor Eagle River Review.
Dear Sir:
The Mnocqua Times is now pub
fishing a notice that all tax certificates
owned by Villas County are to be sold
to the highest bidder Feb. 21st, 1899
1t is only fair to presume that the board
in Offering to sell these certificates hope
to obtain more money for them than the
county has been realizing from sales
and redemptions in past years. The
county now holds Il little more than
$3.50 100000 of these certificates which
are considered the only resource of
Villas county. The county treasurers
books show that in the last two years
about S2900000 have been realized
from sale of certificates. The cost of
handling these certificates is nothing
as the officer having charge of them re-
ceives salary, and would receive the
same salary if relieved of the care of
the certificates. AS times have inn
proved the sales of certificates have in
creased. In view Of these facts, Mr..
Editor it would seem that the board
would not be justified in selling the
certificates for any small sum. and UNI
less some thirty or thirty-fve thousand
dollars is offered, the board would be
John Radcliffe.

New York, July 17.-Another trolley
strike is on In Brooklyn. So far 1t has
not been as effective as the strike of
1905, but there Is no telling how FAR
reaching II may become.
For some weeks the employees of the
several lines controlled by the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit Company have been
complaining that the management did
not live up to the ten-hour law The
men demand a revision Of the time ta-
blcs at the different barns and also
claim that they should be paid 20 cents
an hour for overtime, which is equiva-
lent TO SO day, the price which they
set for n working day of ten hours.
Meetings have been held daily and
nightly for the last week. and II was
inferred from the reports given out by
the employees and their advisers since
Thursday last that while strike was
imminent. II would not occur for some
days to come.
General Master Workman Parsons
and District Master Workman Pines
had charge of the mems affairs and a
strike was called at 4:30 this morning.
AT this hour most of the motormen
and conductors of the Brooklyn Trac-
tion Company's lines had completed

clded that this was the most opportune
moment to begin what was expected
to be stubborn fight with the Trac-

The Chicago Record has this sur

novel military idea has been suggested
In recent years than that of transport
ing the Cuban army TO the Philippines
and letting the followers of Gomez at
tend to the warriors of Aguinaldo. Ten
thousand Cuban soldiers. 1t is stated
are ready to go on short notice. and
their services would be invaluable
Trained for years in exactly the same
sort OF bush and guerilla warfare now
carried on by the Filipinos, strong and
hardy. bred in tropi- cllmes. the men
who fought for Gomez and Garcia
could battle with the rebels in the
most forceful fashion. Two difficult
problems would be solved together-
how to crush the Filipinos and how TO
provide work Cor the disbanded Cuban
soldiers.
