Statistical Farce.

Statistics may be made very valu-
able as a basis of information when
reliable: but when fragmentary they
frequently do more harm than good.
The incompleteness of much OF the
data required by our state is appall-
ing. Take for instance the crop re-
ports and vital statistics of ST. Croix
county as a fair sample; they are SO
meagre and inaccurate as to carry
righteousness upon their face.
With the opening Of the year Re-
cor6er Walker, in accordance with
law, reported to the secretary OF
state, the record of births and deaths,
as reported to him by the responsible,
or rather irresponsible parties. This
is the tabular statement:
REPORT OF BIRTHS n DEATHS ron 1890,
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1900-02-22

The report also shows 299 marriages
for the year. There were over 100 death:
In the city Of New Richmond alone,
of which no report whatever was
made. No births or deaths ever re-
ported from Baldwin, Hammond
Rush River, Pleasant Valley, Eau
Gale or Warren. Then the ridicul-
ously small numbers given from some
of the other towns show that the law
is practically a dead letter. Yet
Learned articles OF a statistical
character are written with such mis-.
information as a foundation upon
which to draw conclusions. The law
requiring such statistics should be
either enforced or repealed.-Hudson

Electric Lighting.

AS will be seer by the terms Of APP
plication; that the city will eventually
purchase the electric lighting plau {
and have the option of so doing after
10 years according to the terms OF the
franchise. by that time the city will
have paid off enough OF the outstand-
ing water works bonds so that they
will be in a position to make the pur-
chase.
During the continuance of the 10
years contract the city will pay So per
month for each arc lamp Of 1900 can
die power. Twenty Of these arclights
will provide ample electric lighting
for the entire city and will cost $1,000
per year. The present street light
ing system $50 called costs the city
$500 per year. The electric light
plant is to be located on the city
pumping property so that it will lie
ready to turn over to the city without
expense Of moving when the city gets
ready to buy the plant. 1t is also the
intention of the gentlemen who will
form the electric Tight company TO do
the city pumping at a considerable
saving over what it is nov costing the
city. The electric light plant will be
run by steam and for this purpose a
large Corliss steam engine of over
100 horse power will be installed.
The dynamo viii be of sufficient
capacity to supply upwards of 1000
i%ncandescent lights to the business
houses and residences Of the city.
The plant will be the best of its kind
and the owners intend to furnish
first class service at reasonable rates.
