CON DITToN OF CROPS
In Vicinity of Eagle River.

A correspondent for The NEWS WIS.,
tied the improved farms in the vici-
nifty of Eagle River last week and re-
ports that the condition of crops in
the Town of Eagle River is far super
Tor to crops in the Southern part of
the state.
At Meta Lake, B. F. butcher has
about forty acres cleared and stumped,
the tract lying along between Meta
and Catfish Lakes. The crop of rye,
oats and grass is first-class. Potatoes
are in blossom and the garden crops
of two acres is superior to anything
we have seen along the line of the c..
& N. w. R'y Co., between here and
Milwaukee. Crops on the Erwin and
Tilden farms which lie along the
shores of Meta Lake compare favor
ably with MI. Duther's.
A visit to the farms of A. E. Croker,
Jos. Tooley and Mart Hirzel will more
than convince anyone of the truth of
all that has, been said regarding the
oats and grass crops in this vicinity.
The clover and timothy crops on these
farms are as fine as we have ever seen
in Wisconsin. We advise our readers
to drive to these farms and many
others, including the farms of Messrs.
Bradford, Dixon, TiIlman. murphy,
marco, Green, Richmond, Dishaw and
Morey and view the fields of waving
grass and grain and note the thous-
ands of acres of green pasturage and
the condition of stock grazing there
on. They cannot but return fully as
sured that it is only question of a
very few years until the lands sur
rounding our village will all be under
cultivation.

Political Meeting
in the Philippines.
Manila Freedom Contains an Ac-
of an ImportanG Gathering
There Recently.

No more hopeful sign Of the times
could be asked than the political meet
ing yesterday at the Rizal theater,
when Filipinos, who had furnished the
brains and courage of the insurrection,
not only advised their countrymen to
acknowledge the sovereignty of the
United States, but gave it as their
opinion that the personal liberties
which are the very essence of inde-
pendence will be more surely obtained
by them under that sovereignty than
as separate union.
The sentiments expressed were SO
sound and logical that they would have
good effect, even If uttered by men
who were insincere. They were educa-
tional in the broadest sense. Incl
dentally, they would make good read
ing for the anti-imperialists, who, in
raving over the shadow, independence
for the Filipinos, seem to lose sight OF
the substance, personal liberty and
protection of life aud property, neither
of which would be long enjoyed with
out the restraining hand of the United
States to stay their rapacious enemies,
both native and foreign. The Manila

Death Of Mr..
S. RosenfieId.
Passed Away at the Turo Iufirm-
ary at New Orleans
Monday Night.

The tick of the wire read last Tues
day morning that Mr.. S. Rosenfeld
had died at New Orleans, La, the
night before. The sad intelligence
rapidly spread over the city and many
heart became heavy and eyes moist
over the news. Mr.. Rosenfeld died in
the Turo Infirmary, where he had gone
for treatment for disease for which
he has suffered for some time, but
money nor the medical skill of the re-
nowned institution could relieve his
suffering.
Mr.. Rosenfeld has resided in Green
vile for thirty years. He was a man
Of good business sense, and made
money very fast, most Of which he
saved as is shown by the splendid cir
cumstancess in which he leaves his
family. He was devoted to his home
and its pleasures, and his happiest
hours we're spent with his family gath
cred around the fireside. True to his
word, devoted 10 his family, and harm
ing no one by word or deed, was the
life lived by Sam RosenfieId, and The
Times sympathizes with the entire
city in the death Of its citizen. The
remains were brought here Tuesday,
and Wednesday were laid 10 rest.

The Vicksburg Canal.

The two big dredges are coming up
the canal and in a few days will be at
the city front. The temporary levee
extending from jackson street to Cen
tennial Island is about complete.
About 900 cubic yards OF earth were
put on the crown. The excavation that
is being taken out of the canal by the
dredges ia being put on the west bank
of the canal The object of the work
is to secure boating water at the city
landing, and also to hold as much water
in Lake Centennial as possible.
AS soon as the big dipper dredge now
being built here is completed, it will
be taken through west pass and put at
work on the canal line, beginning
from the point where the canal starts
through the main line north of the
lake. The output Of the new dredge
will be used in making dixie across
Centennial lake from the northern
shore of Centennial island to the main
land. This win cut off all entrance to
the upper end of the lake until the
canal Is completed. Then the canal
willbe cut through the levee across
this shore Of the lake.

The Times is sorry to see the

between the company and the

About Levee Boards Of the Past

this board are as bad or worse even,
than their predecessors. worked hard

that the new officials would conduct
the boards affairs in businesslike

disappointed, II mistake not the
former presidentof the board was the
author Of the law forbidding any con-
tracts Of any kind being let only after
being duly advertised, and then to be
let to the lowest and best bidder. Are
they complying with this law, which
their own president made? No SIR,
for Mr.. p. J. King is at present digging
a drainage ditch from one end of his
front to the other at III cents per cu-
bic yard. Now II my memory serves
me right this same levee board has
paid Mr.. King some fifteen or eighteen
thousand dollars for all damage to1
drainage, right Of way, and extra
amount for levee purposes on the same
Now in q generous mood
they give him !. a private contract
to drain this same property that they

Wrong Fire Alarm
Caused a Delay.
Frame Building on Walnut Street
Destroyed Friday Night.
Loss About 81, 200.

The alarm of fire Friday morn
was given for the wrong number
and the wagon driven by Mr..
KIepsis was delayed in reaching
the burning building. The fire
was in one of the frame buildings
on Walnut street, occupied by
Mrs. Lowry. How the fire started
is not known, as no one was at
home at the time.
For awhile it looked serious, as
the houses on each side were on
fire, but soon after the companies
arrived and the water turned on
it became apparent that the two
houses were safe.
The loss to all three houses il
about 81, 200. Insurance not
