MAY LOSE A GOOD SNAP
WIS. DREDGERS TAKE ALARM
Government May Set Up an Outfit
a afOf It's own in Superior
2! tx Harbor.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
West Superior, Wis, April 3-The
of the government to put in a
dredging outfit in this harbor is meeting
with great opposition from the dredging
interests. H. H. Grace, attorney for some
of the dredging interests, is in Washing
ton opposing the proposition. For almost
ten years the business has been bonanza
for the dredging concerns, as mile after
mile Of work has been authorized by the
government. The greater part of the
dredging is done, but there is a continual
shoaling that would keep one company
busy the greater part of the time, and it
is on this account that the opposition
develops. IN,
DR.. d. D. Roberts, state veterinarian,
has completed his inspection Of horses Of
this neighborhood and found but one case
of glanders. There are many suspicious
horses, however, and deputies have been
put on guard.
Word has been received that Robert
Monteith, sentSsup from this city on a
charge of adultery, must serve his two
years term in states prison at Waupun.
He was found guilty here and sentenced.
An appeal was taken on alleged mistakes

toned the matter to the president He
had no meeting with Christmas beyond
this casual one.?~ He had known Hansen
for some time and prior to the casual
| meeting with Christmas, Hansen had de-
sired to retain him in this matter. In
reply, the witness said he had told Mr..
| Hansen he could have nothing to do with
! It,. Subsequently when he met Christmas,
he passed the time of day, and that was
! the end of it. @
| Representative Gardner followed with
| a statement disclaiming all knowledge OF
Christmas except Of the most casual
character.
Colonel w. G. Brown testified that he
met Christmas once at the Manhattan
Motel in New York. He had no conyersa-
ton except the usual :, courtesies. He
mad no business relations with him. He
had had no contract with Christmas or

Des Moines, Iowa, April 3.-Pending ne
EQUATIONS are said to be on the verge of
consummations for the purchase Of the
Iowa State Register Of this city. George
H. Roberts Of Fort Dodge, director of the
mint and editor of the Fort Dodge Mes
senger, is seeking to buy the paper of
the C1arkson Brothers.
1t is understood Senator Dolliver is
back Of the deal. The Dolliver people
have come to realize that James F..
Blythe Of Burlington is determined to get
the senatorship to succeed Dolliver at3the
end Of this term, and the movement to
purchase the Register is big political
step for the protection OF the Dolliver in
terests and in all probability OF the in
terest Of Governor Cummins.
The latter aspires to succeed Allison,
whose age makes it not improbable he
will never serve through his term that
will begin in March, 1908.

W. 0. " TO INCREASE
INSURANCE RATES
New Plan to Equalize Assessment
for Reserve Fund to Go Into
Effect January First.

Beginning January |, 1908, new plan
is to be adopted by the Woodmen of the
World for the equalization of the assess
ment for the reserve fund of the order
Heretofore the assessment for this pur-
pose has been payable in three INSTALL
ments during the year, but hereafter the
amount is to be divided equally for the
twelve months and be made payable each
month. This system is designed to bring
steady income into the treasury for
the purpose specified and facilitate it's
handling.
Another innovation to be enforced at
that time is a decided increase in the
life insurance rates of the order. This
increase will amount in some instances,
as with the younger ages, to nearly 100
per cent, and will average throughout
about 80 per cent.
This increase was determined upon at
the meeting of the head camp of the
Woodmen of the World held last August
in Cripple Greek, Colo. This step was
thought to be necessary, from a careful
study of the general scheme of life in
surance, in order to give permanency to
the institution and put it in ON the solid
foundation enjoyed by the old line COM
panies. The excessive cheapness of the
old rates, under which the organization
has grown to a large strength, were found
to be equal to only temporary exist
ence. This new plan of increase assess
ments is to apply to new members only,
those joining the order after the first of
the year. The assessment of the old
members is not effected by the change.

music of the Military orchestra, while
others enjoyed game Of cards, billiards
and pool.
