Northern Wisconsin Development.

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies the northern
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and vicissitudes of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count of exorbitant land prices.
1t is IN that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, goodroads
and other improvements are GO
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Brawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kaolin and clay
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity to the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and CAN be pur-
chased on easy terms
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the : 9uisk and
cheap transportation of its pro-

there is but ore-LaFollette-

ability which the party candi-

him there would be no Republi-

BUSINESS men of the city report a
very strong revival of business. The
business for the month of October,
1901, will compare very fayorably
with that for the same month during
1900. In addition to the businesses
that we're here at that time, we now
have another livery and feed barn, a
large dry goods establishment, an
other hotel and several other minor
business establishments. The best
evidence of the increase in population
and the solid settlement is the public
school. There are almost so more
children enrolled and in attendance
in the different grades of the public
school than at this time last year
The increase in this direction has
been so marked that for a time it was
thought it would necessitate the
establishment of another grade and
the employment of an additions.
teacher. This difficulty has been
avoided for the present, at least, but
the time is not far distant when an.
other grade will be an absolute neces
sity.

]. ID. c. Kruger, cashier OF the Sara.
toga State bank, has furnished the state
examiner with a statement of the con
dition OF that institution, comparing its
and liability Oct, l6. 1900,
with that of Oct, IL, 1901. In
the bank has increased $4,000. Ito de-
posits have increased $4,000, and now
aggregate more than 100000. In Octo-
Der, 1900, this bank was caring for al.
most all the banking business OF the
southern Platte valley, but the business
is now divided, lthe Copper State bank
at Grand Encampment taking care of
practically all the banking business OF
that locality, aud having deposits ap.
proximating $4,000. In the aggregate
the deposits OF the Saratoga and Grand
Encampment districts have increased
approximately $4,000 during the year.
While this growth is almost phenom.
inal, yet it represents fairly the condi-
tions throughout most Of the state.

Go After That Game Warden.

Recent reports from the western part
OF the state indicate that the game laws
are being enforced in an indifferent
manner. Rudolph Rosencrans, an en-
ploye of the Helena Mercantile company
of Helena, Mont, has been arrested and
fined for violating the game laws. He
pleaded guilty. His arrest was not
made at instance of the Wyoming au-
thorities. From the evidence introduce
ed it was learned that poachers had
been killing game within a radius OF ten
miles Of the state game warden and that
no effort had been made to stop the ii
legal work. In Il recent article the Ian.
der Clipper makes IA plea for the removal
Of the present game officers and the APP
pointment OF men that will do their du-
ty. Otherwise, says the Clipper, big
game of the state will be exterminated.
The present game law should be en-
titled an act for the benefit OF the
guides and hunters of the jackson Hole
country. 1t has operated in an admir-.
able manner, so far as they are concerned,
but the people of the state aside from
them fail to see wherein they are bene-
flied. The warden has balanced the ac,
count with the state treasurer and will
continue Il do SO in all probability, all

the law and the people not receiving one

An Important Gathering.

One of the most important gatherings
held in the state in years is that called
for December llth and 18th next, at
Laramie, That the attendance will be
large, and the result fraught with mo-
ment to the state, is certain. The en-.
terprising people Of the Gem City are
already astir in the matter OF entertain
ment, and all who attend may be assur.
ed that they will neither have to sleep
on the hay scales or eat oil tho edge OF Il

Found Three Hides.

John A. jackson, jr., who was owe
from the Hat ranch, on Pass creek,
yesterday, on land business, gave The
Sun some of the particulars of the
finding of the three hides last sum-
mer. He says the boys-one a son of
Samuel Dickinson and the other a
son of I. R. jackson, of Hanna
were out after the cows, when they
saw their dog digging at some
thing in the willows. They went in
to see what he had when they saw
some hair uncovered by the dog.
Both taking hold they pulled out a
full grown beef hide. Looking in the
hole they saw another hide and pro-
ceeded to haul that out, after which
they discovered still another and pull
ed it out.
The hides were buried about 25
yards from the Hat ranch corral, in
the brush. One of them bore the
brand Ak and another TLV. The
other hide bore the brand of Horne
Brothers, on Medicine Bow. The
Ak brand belongs to John A.
Schoonjans; the TLV belongs over
on Rock creek, Mr.. jackson could not
remember to whom. Evidently the
three head had been killed at, OF
near, the same time and the hides
buried to v up the crime.

The Mining Mans Chance.

The Wyoming Indu strial Convention,
18th of December, is the mining mans
chance. This convention will give every
man who owns a claim an opportunity
to exhibit what he has in the way OF
ore and he should take advantage of it
to send the best specimens he can Sc
lect to hat convention. Such speci-
mems should be securely packed and
plainly marked with the name Of the
owner, the mining district and the name
OF the claim, together with the assay il
one has been had.
The Sun urges every mine owner to
embrace this opportunity to see that his
claim is represented at Laramie. In
cases where men are associated together
in developing a particular district they
can clab together and send a box Of
specimens. This will be a very easy
matter and inexpensive when all take a
hand.
Much will be expected OF this coun-
try. 1t has Deer heralded to the world
as the greatest mining country on earth
and we should do all in ~ power to
maintain that reputation. When the
specimens have served their purpose at
Laramie they are to be taken to the
Capital AMI placed IN permanent exbi-
bition. So do not hesitate but come to
the front with the very best you have to
show.

lieves that the better enforcement of the
law is possible. The subject has long
been a perplexing one both to educators
and in some instances to parents.
However. there is remedy at home
for the small boy who plays truant, but
where parents of moderate means keep
their children out of school to earn q
small pittance. or because Of Indulgence
or lack of interest. the law is primarily
intended to apply.
1t has been suggested that school dis
tricts should not be allowed apportion-
ment for children who do not attend
school regularly. If the apportonment
was withheld, school officials would I'M
mediately interest themselves in seeing
that the law was properly enforced.
Not few of the more prominent edu-
Gators believe that the length Of the
school term should be made 10 months.
At present but nine months school is
held. 1t is argued that school should
be held for 10 months in the cities.
The three months vacation SO seriously
interfere with the school work that it
usually takes about a month to tame
the small boy into submission and con-
vince him that the school is for his
benefit if such thing We're possible.
Summers Are Cool.
The Montana summers are cool and 1t
would Re no hardship whatever to re-
quire children to attend 10 months in
stead of nine. Parents generally favor
the change.
The great question when summer
comes is, what shall we do with john
n.y." If some means is not devised for
his amusement he usually finds recre-
alton and 1t Is usually disastrous to some
one very often to Johnny.
Another matter that will be generally
canvassed by school board officials il
