1t is reported that the Wisconsin
pairing to build a line from Prentice
to Superior the coming summer
The report is based on a statement
made by the head of the land depart
ment of the company to a New York
man. who recently bought a tract of
land in Sawyer county from the COM
pany, on the understanding that the
new line is to run within at least a
mile and half of the property. The
new line, it is understood, is to cross
Price, Sawyer and Douglas counties,
and probably touch Bayfield, or Wash
burn counties. The length of the
line will probably be 140 miles.
The Northwestern is making an
effort to get better use of it's cars by
directing that no car shall leave a
station without having at least 5000
pounds of freight in it, and by order
ing better loading of way cars in
trains by conductors. Orders relat-
ing to the reloading of way freight
into through cars at division ter
minals are also being sent out.
Work on new Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul passenger station to
be built in GAINESVILLE may be started
next month. The plans have been
| accepted by the company and it is
understood that Milwaukee firm
has the contract for the erection Of
the building. Yard men have already
| had orders to get the ground cleared
| AS soon as the station is completed
| the old building now used by the
company will be torn away and a
/ convenience of the new building
Madison sorely needs similar atten
ton
In order to avoid the eight dollars
car switch service which must be
paid all railroads sending a ca
through the yards at Chicago the
! Northwestern has built a road from
Peoria to Dixon. By means of thi:
road which is eighty miles long, the
Northwestern makes connections will
eastern points without passing
through Chicago. The road has jus
been completed and trains started tt
i running. The Peoria and Eastern
has the best eastern connections GU
of Peoria, so will probably get a great
er per cent. of the Northwestern:
business. With the addition of tel
new battleship engines this road il
well equipped for handling a large
business. It is predicted by EN-
ployss there that by summer this di
vision will be doing the best freigh
business in it's history.

A Lively Pest

The farmers up Carson Valley have
a new pest that is giving them consid-
cradle work 1t is the common field
mouse The little animals have in
tested a number of ranches and have
almost ruined several alfalfa fields.
At the ranch near Cradlebaugh the
mice have burroughed in the ground
to such an extent that the ground re
sem bles patch that has been gone
over by hogs. Everything has been
tried to kill the pests but up to the
present time the mice seem to thrive
on the poisons that have been scat
tered About the only thing that
seems 20 cope with the mice is the
common hawk, and this bird is given
poor chance to show his ability to
handle the question. Every farmer
that spies hawk rushes to the house
to get gun and the bird is soon kill
ed. The fear that the intruder viii
take a chicken scares a farmer to the
verge of death and he would sooner
lose a field of alfalfa than chicken
While the hawks may take scores c
chickens in a year, at the same time
they destroy a thousand mice and a.
many gophers. The farmers shoul,
see that the hawks are given a chanc
10 help them out in this case and an
one caught killing a hawk should b
fined. Hawks and owls are the nat
ural enemy OF the neld pests and tn
people who ar engaged in farrnin
should protect re birds not only {
gains5 their Own guns but the fir
arms Of the hunters.

THE DRY WINTER
The Outlook From the Stand
point of a Cattle kinQ

The dry winter is the source OF
much worriment on the part of the
agriculturist and the stock ralsers
1t has been many years since the
mountains were as free OF snow as
they are at the present time. Can
yons that are generally filled With
snow before Christmas are as dry as
the prOverbial powder horn. Even
the SUBMITS of the ranges are nearly
bare and this combined with the mild
weather has caused all those engag-
ed in agricultural pursuits worri-
