What We Are Developing

It is interesting to observe what
our country is doing in radical way,
touching matters of interest which
have r eceived little or no attention
heretofore. For instance, there is
every probability that a forestry bu-
reau will be organized in the interior
department for the purpose of sup
plying, to as great an extent as pos
s,ble, the timber which has already
been taken from the land. The pro-
ject is one of large proportions, but
if it is undertaken in an earnest,
energetic and persistent way, won
ders may be accomplished. Ger
many has met with success in pursu-
ing course similar to what we pro-
pose doing here.
Another industrial feature of the
development of our own resources is
the cultivation of various kinds OF
tobacco. Heretofore we have been in
the habit of thinking that it would
be impossible for us to get along
without the tobacco growers of Cuba
but of late the notwithstanding
and inventive mind of the American
| people has found way by which WE
may be largely, if not entirely indie
pendent of Cuba in the matter. We
now sell $50, 900, 900 worth of tobacco
yearly and buy $13. 100000 worth O
the high priced varieties. We have
beee paying $5,O0O,OOO annually fo1
Sumatra wrappers, but the depart
ment at Washington is teaching the
American people how they can raise
| those wrappers for themselves. Al
the recent exposition in Paris the
Americans showed what they coulc
do in the way of raising Sumatra
tobacco, as they took the gold media
there for that article. We have paid
SO, 900, 900 year for filler Tobacco

Supervisor of Assessors,

In accordance with the act of the
last legislature the county board will
have the naming of someone as SUI
pervisor of assessors of the county.
While there are no candidates for the
Office, yet it is reasonable to suppose
that some of those who have expert
ence in the matter of assessments
would like the place. 1t has been
suggested that Washburn has as
good man in George F. Morgan, as
there is In the county. Mr.. Morgan
is thoroughly familiar with all mat
ters OF assessment, having served
with universal satisfaction as assess
or of Washburn for the last three
years. He understands the ms and
outs of the business as well as any
one who could be named, and when
the county board comes to making
its selection they should bear him in
mind.

A Movement to the North

The world is beginning to realize
the true value of Northern Wiscon-
sin, and to see that, instead of its
being a sandy desert from which all
the values were gathered when the
pine was cut, it is really great and
valuable agricultural country, especi-
ally valuable as d stock country
Gradually the work OF the railroads
that own land, and of settlers who
have learned the value of that deep
and even tempered soil, have made
this known. Now others are learn
ing this and are coming to US with
their famished stock from the west,
where there is no food or drink for
them, while up there the grass is
long, sweet and nutritious, the water
clear, cool and refreshing, and the
stream banks full. This is shown by
the sales of land made recently to
western stock men who were offered
lands and refused them years ago
only to come now and buy them for
three times the price. These men
come from the afflicted sections OF
the west aud will locate in the state.
Northern Wisconsin is blessed
with very equitable climate. It
gets very cold but the cold is not
the penetrating kind. 1t gets very
warm but the warmth does not kill
The soil is deep and of a decomposed
silicious loan, and hay and grass and
clover grow abundantly without
freezing. There are no sudden
changes and stock can be put out
earlier and left out later in the year
than in the southern and more clayey
coun ties. And now the droutf
afflicted are approaching this and
will come where the terrible siroccc
is unknown. That is indeed an il
wind, but it blows good to Wisconsin,

but that bill of expense we are de-
termined to cut down, as we are con-
Quoting experiments in this line of
production with the hope and pro-
liability that before long we will pro-
duce nearly if not quite all the filler
tobacco we will require. For the
present, and it may be for some little
time yet, we are and will be obliged
to 90 to Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
the Philippine Islands for the very
finest varieties, but the necessity of
going to foreign countries will in
time pass away and tobacco of all
grades will eventually be raised in
this country.
Here is another important matter.
We have been importing wheat Of
different kinds to improve the crops
down here. In the manufacture of
macaroni it was not cor ceded that
the American article was equal to
the imported and the reason assigned
was that we did not grow the kind
of wheat from which the best maca-
roni was made. But this condition of
things has changed and the present
year we will produce 10000 bushels
of wheat to be used solely in the
manufacture of macaroni, and soon
it will not be necessary to import
any of the articles from abroad.
The agricultural department. has
sent a man to the East to study the
rice industry, and his knowledge OBJ
tanned there will be added to what
we already know. Sometime ago
speciments of rice were brought to
US from Japan which were found
much more suitable for the rice pro-
ducing states of the South than what
we formerly had been using, with
the result that we are now produc-
ing most of the rice that we need
and in a short time we will produce
all. The second quality, OF. what is
known as broken rice, we are already
sending to Porto Rico. Nor is this
all. We will have over forty beet
sugar factories in operation this
year. Those that are already in OPP
GRAFTON have discarded their foreign
made machinery, both in the field
and factory, and are using that of
American invention, and they are
finding it so much superior to the
other that great development of
the industry is confidently expected.
The sugar men are watchful in all
directions as to the most improved
and efficient methods. They saw the
oil men with a central plant which
was fed through pipes from other
plants surrounding it, sometimes at
a surprisingly great distance. In
Utah, around one of the oldest fact
cries, they have built three mills at
various distances from the central
point, one of the mills being % miles
away, and from those mills they
run the sugar juice through
pipes to the main factory. Capital
from the East is rapidly finding its
way to what would be barren plains
without irrigation, and thus the beet
sugar industry is being developed. -

NOW COMES THE FIGHT.

THE promised address of the
ssStalwarts" is out, and it lays
stress upon only one point in
particular, that being the inter
ference by the executive with the
legislative branch of the state
government. ''The perpetuity
of our institutions depends upon
the independence and integrity of
each of the coordinate branches
of our government. /" 1t charges
that Governor LaF'ollette without
naming him) has unWarranted-
ly interfered with the legislative
branch and that such attempts
to coerce acquiesance in unreal
,sonable acts and unwise expert
ments at the last session were
contrary to the welfare of the
people of Wisconsin, and Great
ed bitter factional differences in
the. Republican party
The foregoing are the motives
which have been the cause of an
organization to be known as the
"Wisconsin Republican League. "
1t is asserted that the league
is not for one campaign alone,
but will be permanent. A ma
jority of the members of the last
legislature signed the address.
The primary object of the new
organization is well known. 1t
is to defeat the denomination of
Governor LaFollette and to Sc
cure the reelection of United
States Senator John G. Spooner.
That's the whole thing in a nut
shell, and in this Governor La
Follette's following will oppose
them in every step.
tits to be q. battle from now
on to finish and the result will
be eagerly watched. The "Stal-
warts" have opened headquar-
tiers in Milwaukee, and the
Governor has one of the best
machines ever gotten together in
the state. Both sides are well
prepared for the fight.

THE cock and bull story alleg-
ing that Rear Admiral Sampson
would not appear before the
Schley Court of Inquiry, sent
out from Washington early this
week, carried it's own refutation
along with it. Of course Samp-
son will appear before the court.
In fact, he will be the star wit
ness. Had it not been for him
there would have been no court
of inquiry, although his name
was not mentioned in Schley's
request for the court, nor in the
precept of the Navy Department
calling it together. Yet every
body knows that it was his re
port to the department, charging
Schley with "reprehensible con-
Duct" and disobeying orders.
that started the controversy
that led to ordering the court.
He could not avoid appearing be-
fore the court and standing up
for his side of the controversy if
he wished to do SO, and to say
that he wishes to do so casts a
very serious dispersion upon him,
both as an officer and as a man.
AS sure as the court is held
Schley and Sampson will meet
before that court and tell their
stories and the country will have
the opportunity to Judge between
them.
