The Weather Bureau,

The bill recently introduced by
Hon. James w. Wadsworth, Chairman
of the House Committee on Agricul-
ture, providing for complete reOrgan-
iZatiOn of the United States weather
bureau, is measure which should
receive the serious attention Of
Congress. In its general scope and
intent the bill strictly in line with
the most advanced ideas on civil
service, particularly as applied to
the needs of the weather bureau. is a
great improvement on the law now in
operation. The weather bureau is a
scientific, as we'll as an eminently
practical, department of the public
service. Its employees are scattered
over every state and territory from
the Arctic Circle to the Equator. each
independent, yet all harmOniOusly
working for a common end. In a
system of this character, where the
individual workers are separated by
such wide distances, and where the
efficiency of the service as a whole
depends upon the promptness and
experience of each individual. its
needs cannot be met by general law
which would be applicable to other
pdIuluelIS. l1e Ulll Has DoeQ drawn
with a view to meeting the peculiar
requirements of the service in this
respect by placing each employee
strictly on his merit y Without regard
to political influence, and by making
his tenure of office sure SO long as his
services are advantageous to the
government. 1t provides that nomina.

Hunters Licenses

Jas. T. EllarSOn, state game warden.
has issued circular to county clerks
which reads as follows:
"All hunting licenses issued during
1899 will be good for the spring shoot
ing until May l. 1900.
"The hunting licenses issued be-
tween December 81, 1899. and April
80. 1900, will be void May l, 1900"
In other words. all licenses issued in
1899 or in 1900 will be good until April
30. 1900, but will expire on that date.

COMMITTEES AT WORK.
UndeveIoped and Natural Resources of Wis
ConSin Valley Set Before Money World.

The Board of Directors of the Wis
cOnSin Valley Advancement AssOcia-
tiOn met in TOmahaWk last Thursday
and completed details Of the Organi-
zatiOn by adopting bylaws and appoint
ing committees. All the cities, towns
and villages along the Wisconsin river
valley are now linked together in this
association to work for the commercial
development Of the whole, and since
many leading business men of the
state are active members of the aSSOci-
alton there is every indication to
believe that much good will be
accomplished. Eastern capitalists
are soon to know of the splendid water
powers of the Wisconsin river and of
the resources of this valley. 1t is the
purpose Of the Advancement aSsOci-
alton to tell these things and tell them
fOrcibly. One of the members is now
in New York to interest capital in the
plans for constructing the proposed
electric railway system from NekOOSa
on the south to Eagle River on the
north, this project having been
strongly favored at the recent meeting
at Tomahawk. The following stand
ing committees were appointed:

Over one hundred applications for

several liberal contributions were
received.
ELECTRIC RAILWAY PROJECT.
In discussion us to settlement and
development Of the agricultural lands
by assistance of a valley electrical rail
way, it was shown that the six counties
through which it is to be built-Wood,
Portage, Marathon, Lincoln, Oneida
and ViIas-posSeSS an urban population
of nearly $4,000 and total population
of over l35, ,000 And it was also shown
that with the available water power
the elctric line could be operated at
smaller expense than any electric road
in operation today. 1t would cOnse,
quently prove a paying investment
from the start DIS we'll as d big factor
in settling up and developing every
mile of the distance traverSed. Active
promoters announce that plans have
already reached a point where it is
safe to predict that work on the
project will be commenced during the
| coming season.
