The wisepoor man who bought
a farm on easy payments. and
the wise manufacturer who err
ected factory in Northern Wis.
consin a few years ago, when
times were not as prosperous as
they are now, are reaping their
reward. Northern Wisconsin is
feeling expansion in the truest
sense of the word. Opportuni-
ties have not passed, by any
means. There are still thousand
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 i'm
provements are increasing and
civilization is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kao-
! line, mari and timber lands sup
plies the wants of everybody
The transportation facilities
are unexcellcd. The Wisconsin
Central R'y, a strictly Badger
State Road pierces the rich north
Ell portion OF the state, offering
excellent transit service to the
markets Of the world. Those in

BRADLEY SAYS YES.
The Wisconsin Valley Electric
Railway Proposition
Favored.

EdkO1CQ
From the Wausau Record.
The regular monthly meeting
of the directors of the Wisconsin
Valley Advancement Association
at Tomahawk, yesterday, was
one of greater interest than any
that had preceded it. President
Bradley, who in company with
W. G. Collins, visited New York
some four weeks since, gave out
assurance that his trip had been
in every way a success. Said he:
Il discovered one thing, the Wis
cousin valley is known all along
the line from here to New York
and Boston, and everywhere it
is looked up to as the one section
from which great things are ex-
pected. The electric railway
proposition meets with favor
wherever scheduled. The FEAST
bllltY lot the scheme is conceded
bv men we'll posted, and as to
capital, why the question of fl
nancing it is no longer a ques-
ton"
Asked if the result of his trip
warranted the beginning Of work
the coming spring, he said, "pre-
ininaries are already being ar
ranged. There are many details
of private character to be set
tied before concise statement
can be given out. Some of the
prelin1inaries have been arrang-
ed AMI men are employed in
furthering the plans necessary
to organizing and capitalizing
the project. "
The road will be built then?
"Of that | have never had any
doubt, but I will say to you that
am more thoroughly convinced
of it now than eyer"
How soon will active opera
tons begin?"
Il shall go to New. York again
in few weeks. There'sso much
railway building going on now
that the giving out of positive
information is impossible. Steel
rails and rolling stock are among
the articles that can't be bought
as you buy few car loads Of
lumber up in this country, you
have to walt until you can get
them. "
1t was evident that Mr.. Brad
ley was in earnest, his report
was we'll received by the direc-
tors and aroused much enthusi
asrn.
WILL IMPORT SETTLERS.
Two Immigration agents plac-
ed propositions before the associ
alton to bring in to the valley
from 800 to 500 families of Fin
landers and Scandinav1ans about
the middle of June. The propo-
sition met with favor and a
special meeting Of the stockhold-
ers was called for Feb. 28th, to
perfect the arrangements. 1t is
thought that from 10000 to so
600 acres OF valley land will be
placed on the road to develop
ment in the next six months by
this move.

Home Life In Porto Rico.

To one unaccustomed to tropical
conditions, the furnishing OF the Porto
Rican home would at first sight seem
meagre; but it is quite ample. A short
residence will demonstrate that nearly
500 years of experience with the un-
pleasant features OF life in the West
Indies have been crowned by sur
vival Of the fittest in housefurnishing
as in other matters.
Austrian Brentwood furniture, and
also wicker.work and willow.w ware,
constitute the main equipment Of the
parlOrs andliviug.rooms. Upholstered
furniture is unknown and understood,
little or no attempt being made at
decoration except in the matter Of EN-.
broidery and fine handmade lace
work, with which the bedrooms are
deliberately supplied. Hundreds of
yards of crochet-work are used in the
embellishments of single canopied
bed. This work is the chief delight
of the Porto Rican housewife.
SThe walls are for the most part
bare, but here and there a painting OF
merit may be seen. The sofa pillow
is the ono great feature of the home
it is everywhere, in every conceivable
size, shape and material. Ferns OF
gigantic size and exquisite formation,
as we'll as broad-spreading palm
leaves, are used to festoon the walls
and arched doorways. Cut fresh from
day to day, they render the dark, cool
rooms inviting and attractive. Potted
tropical plants in great variety abound
within and without the home.-Har.

DECLINE OF BUcKWHEAT.
A Crop Once Large IN This Country. hut
Steadily Decreasing.

SteAuhy UecreNsthg'
What il the matter with huckwheat?
Cakes made OF il aud eaten warm are
regarded as very nutritious and are
still q favorite article OF food with
many thousands, but for all that tho
cultivation of the grain Is steadily de.
clining. 1t must be that q great
many have stopped eating buckwheat
cakes, for there is certainly great
deal less buckwheat to DO eaten than
in former days.
Thirty.five years ago the farmers Of
our country sowed, every year, over
1000, 900 acres in buckwheat. Since
then the crop has sometimes been
larger, sometimes smaller, but, on the
whole, the acreage aud yield have
been almost steadily decreasing. In
1898 the acreage was 67S,332, only
little more than that OF thirty-hve
years ago, and the yield was only H..
700, 1000 bushels, which was just about
one.half the yield at tho close OF the
Civil War.
No explanation Of this great decline
in buckwheat raising has been made.
It is probable, however, that the un-
reliability Of the crop, which is some
times large and sometimes small with
ont any apparent reason for the varia-
ton, has discouraged a great many
farmers. Another reason for the de.
cline may be the larger use within the
past few years Of cereal preparations,
especially wheat, all OF which come
under the general designation of hys
gienic foods. These preparations
have probably won many persons from
their allegiance to buckwh eat cakes.
If buckwheat raising continues to
decline, perhaps the bees most of all
will miss the fields, for they are very
partial to the flowers of this plant
which secret a great deal of honey
that is not, however, of the first
quality, as everybody knows who has
eaten it.
Buckwheat is not raised widely over
the world, and this fact makes its lie.
cline in America, where it is most
largely grown, all the more interest.
ing. Russia and France are about the
only countries in Europe that pro-
duce it, and Great Britain has never
taken kindly to buckwheat cakes and
very little Of the grain. New

OF what q sensible, warm-hesrted girl
she is. The other day she sent a
letter to the trsmway company of The
Hague requesting that they instruct
the drivers OF all their vehicles not to
stop when the royal carriage passed
them. Wilhelmina said she appreci-
ated the sign of respect and courtesy
which these abrupt halts upon her ap-
pearance signified, but the sudden
and unnecessary stops and the con.
sequent starts tired the horses who

reason it gave more pain than pleas
ure to her majesty to have the trans

When the "romnies" Didn't Laugh

In one of the scrimmages before
Ladysmith various sections of infantry
had been slapping away for some time
at the Boer trenches, when it was de.
cided to send forward detachment of
Dundonald's cavalry to try to head of
band of moving Beers. As the
horsemen galloped past the infantry
men one lost his seat. The fallen
rider-an Irishman-pulled himself
together and chased his mount. As
he ran past the infantry lines the
"Tommies" ieered at his undignified
position. Paddy halted for second.
