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 ac
count of exorbitant land prices.
It 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 60
ing in. All that is needed, IL
a small capital. Drawn 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 pMr-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro-
ducts and as the line penetrates
the very center of this vast north
ern territory, choice of location
is not confined to any one par
ticular locality.
Interesting pamphlets and
maps fully describing this beau
tiful and rich country can be OBJ
tanned by addressing,

Industrial Commissioner.

The reffect of Major Anderson,s opinion
IS Clearly to prevent the throwing out
OF precincts on technical grounds. such
as those mentioned in the letter of Mr..
Dcak to Major Anderson. and ether Sim,
lar ones urged in cases in Wythe and
other counties. This Supreme Court has
passed on a case in point. the decision
being IN line with the opinion of Attor-
ney-GeneraI Anderson.
It is likely tat the Court OF Appeals
next week will be asked to mandamus
the loca! boards and compel them to
count the votes in Wythe and other
counties where precincts have already
been thrown out. Again, It is probable
that when the State Board of Canvas
sers meets here on November 18th to
