sible of it's dignity and importance.
It affords, to one who carries to the
discharge of it's duties proper
sense of responsibility, splendid
opportunity for useful public SER
vice. All things considered, there
is, in my judgment, no public posi-
ton which is at all comparable with
it.
While fully mindful Of this, I have
not been, nor am l, able to permit
it to the influence me in the opinion
that it is my duty, for purely per-
sonal and private reasons, to retire
at the expiration of my term.
Until that time arrives | most
earnestly hope to be able to serve.
I cannot refrain from availing my
self Of the opportunity to again ex-
press to the Republican party of
Wisconsin intense appreciation of
the confidence which it has repeated
ly manifested in me, and my pro-
found gratitude for the honors which
it has conferred upon me. No
party could more graciously and
generously bestow upon on one of It's
members the highest honor in its
gift than did the Republican party
of Wisconsin bestow it upon me,
when it gave me in 1897, after six
years of retirement, an unanimous
reelection to the United States
Senate. It has been to me an in
spiration.
I hope it will not be deemed in
delicate for me also here to express
my appreciation of the evidences
very recently afforded with remark
able unanimity by the Republican
press of Wisconsin of the continued
confidence of the party in me.
1t certainly must be unnecessary
for me, in view of my relations to
the party since 1884, to give assur-
ance that this elimination of myself
from direct personal interest in Wis
consin politics will not in any degree
diminish my efforts to promote at all
times the success of Republican
principles and of Republican tickets
in the state. JOHN G. SPooNER.

Expansion in Northern Wisconsin

The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufactures who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin a few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaplng their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense of the word. On
portunities have not passed bv any
means. There are still thousands OF
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as we'll as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentltude OF iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral and timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Transportation facilities are nm
ezcelled. The wisconsin Centeral
Ry., strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion of
the state, offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world.
