Muscoda is now in possession of
one of the most complete and up-to-
date electric lighting plants to be
found anywhere. 1t has been in oper-
alton for the past ten days, and, al
though not a very extensive plant, no
money was spared to bring it up to a
high standard. 1t is owned by DR..
c. F. Rodolf, dentist of Muscoda,
and is at present using 10 arc lamps
and 400 incandescent. The power is
obtained from the water power of the
RodoE roller mills, on Mill creek,
located about three miles from town,
and the line crosses farms and timber
lots for two miles, until it reaches the
Wisconsin River, which it crosses on
a span OF l 100 feet, probably one of
the largest spans of this nature in ex-
istence. Each line is run across the
river on its own separate pole, the
distance between them being 20 feet at
the crossing. The plan was devised
and constructed under the personal
supervision of l.. w. Burch, presi-
dent of the Electrical Supply COM
pany, of Madison, who put in the
plant. The machinery used is 2000
volt Fort Wayne dynamo, of the al
ternating type and of the latest con-

FOR RURAL DELIVERY.
Special Agent Rising Will Examine
Dickinson Petitions.

Special Agent H. G. Rising, who
has been sent from Washington to
locate rural delivery routes in Dick
inson, arrives this evening. Two pc
titions await him: One for a route
north Of town and one from Chapman
to Rhinehart. Mr.. Rising gives some
good advice to those seeking rural
delivery routes. He says:
"When | investigate the route !
notify the postmaster OF my intended
visit and invite him TO accompany
me. ! drive over the route, counting
the houses, churches, school houses
and manufacturing institutions one
half mile on either side. There must
bc at least 100 houses within the
specified distance. Those outside the
limit are estimated as additional pa.
irons after the service shall have been
established.
"I think it advisable to drive over
the route. Please see that IT Is close
to twenty-five miles in length, and II
the route as petitioned for will accom-
modate the greatest number Of peo-
pie. The ideal route is ten miles
long and two miles wide. 1t should
not cover too much territory, and
you should conform to this limit as
closely as possible.
81 prefer capable union veteran
for carrier. II will also be necessary
for me to recommend a substitute
carrier. Each will be required to
give bond in the sum Of $500.
Blank bonds will be furnished by me.
"Patrons Of rural free delivery
routes are expected to provide secure
water proof mail boxes, placed near
the highway in such "A location that
the carrier can conveniently reach
them to deposit and collect the mail
without dismounting. The boxes
must comply with these conditions.
Wooden boxes and oyster cans will
not do. Good galvanized iron boxes
can be procured chesply that will
keep the mail safe and dry.
my instructions are such that !

CATHOLIC MODERN wooDMEH.
Local Members Are Considering the
Bishops Order.

Some OF the Catholic members Of
the Woodmen lodges in this city are
much disturbed over the order OF
Bishop Fink that no Catholic in good
standing should retain membership
in the lodge. Bishop Fink's order
was to the effect that he regarded 1t
poor policy for the Catholics Of his
diocese to belong to the order as 1t
was not conducted in accordance with
the best thought Of the church. The
bishop desires the priests Of his do
cese to prevent the members Of the
church from entering the society.
There are many members Of the
Catholic church in the Woodmen
lodges here and in other towns Of the
county. Some Of these are very
much devoted to the lodges and
equally devoted to their church and
are seriously considering what will
be done. 1t may be that the order
will not DC extended to this diocese.

shall be obliged to equalze the routes
as nearly as possible and within the
several congressional districts. 1t
will be impossible for me to comply
with the requests OF postmssters and
others interested to visit their place
iirst.' Hence it will be impossible
and impolitic to place all the routes
desired in one congressional district.
Each district and each county must
have proportional share.
"Aiter | investigate route | for.

There 1t Is approved, II correct, and
forwarded to the department. can
not make changes in the routes after
! have reported to headquarters, and
1t is doubtful II any changes will be
ordered for any route this year.

tions and the necessary number Of
United States mail collect boxes will
be sent you alter the route has been
established without requisition."

RURAL DELIVERY NO. l.
New Route Is Laid Out by the Special
Agent.

H, G. Rising, special agent Of the
postal department, spent the day here
and located the first rural delivery

be as follows: Start from Abilene,
60 east on Detroit road to PIKE
school house, thence north 10 miles,
west two miles, south s! miles, west
one.half mile, south on Buckeye av-
enue road to town. Over this route
the carrier will make the trip daily,
collecting mail from mail boxes

Mr.. Rising is much pleased with
the prosperous and well settled coun-
try in this vicinity and suggested
that three more routes might easily
be established-one northwest and
two south Of town. 1t will doubtless
be done. He went to Cloud and Re.
public counties today and will be
back later to look after the Chapman.

may be asked for here.
