The suffrage resolution which passed
the Senate on Wednesday came to grief
in the House committee Thursday, when
it was decided by vote of 8 to 3 to
recommend that it be indefinitely post
poned This action is taken to mean that
the House will make short work OF the
suffrage question this session, and the
friends of the resolution who were elat-
cd at the ease with which 1t passed the
Senate have been brought to despair by
the events of Thursday. The Senate
passed the Harper biennial elections bill
by vote of 40 to .. Senator Hubbard,
by request, explained the main features
of the bill for the purpose of convincing
the Senators that the provisions which
caused the Supreme Court to declare the
Titus bill unconstitutional did not appear
in the Harper bill. The Gerst bill, ap-
propriating $1,000 to replace the property

of district judges from $500 to $500.
The railroad committee Of the House
gave hearings on the two-cent fare bill
Members of the committee expressed the
opinion the bill could not be brought out
with a favorable report.
So
BY prcarranged program the Senate
and House Friday morning passed the
two assessment bills which to be avail
ing this year may become laws before the
first of March. In the House on account
of the motion which had been carried to
adjourn at noon until Monday at p. m.
it was necessary to tie the House clock
for half an hour in order to give the
joint committee on enrolled bills an op-
portunity to act. The bills We're signed
shortly before 10 by Speaker Eaton. The
reformatory bill was before the Senate
for some time and two amendments
thereto were voted. Final consideration
of the bill was deferred until Tuesday.
With barely a quorum present the House
disposed of a number of bills. The first
was the emergency bill in reference to
appropriate $1,000 in order to defray the
necessary expenses and destruction of
property infected with smallpox germs at
the Tama Indian reservation. The bill
was adopted unanimously. Moore's bill
to amend the military code passed the
Honse by unanimous vote. 1t provides
for the organization of signal company
emphasizes the law prohibiting State
troops from receiving pay from the
State and federal government for the
same period of service and provides that
aides to the Governor must have served
at least one year in volunteer or National
Guard service. Out of the regular order
report was filed by the committee on
railroads and commerce reporting for in
definite postponement, Teachout's viaduct
bill. This bill proposed to repeal that
portion of the law which provided that
viaduct commissioners must be approved
by the railroad commissioners.

to the sheep than any other farm amman.
Sleet, slush and mud in winter-the curse
of the flock in the middle states-are
quite unknown here. The winter feeding
season is not week longer than in
northern Illinois, and the reliable graz
ing season not ten days shorter. The sum-
mer, with its bright warm days, and cool,
restful nights, is a benediction. The mer-

no lower in winter than in Chicago,

Northern Wisconsin is much like

settler, who naturally preferred the
prairie to the timber lands; the cost OF
clearing the latter, when there}was no
market for the timber, seriously handi-
Gaping them as compared with lands
cleared by nature. George w. Taylor,
secretary of the Wisconsin state board Of
immigration, gives it as his opinion that
there is no other place in the union
where man of moderate means can do
so well or acquire home for himself so
easily as in northern Wisconsin. cit is
the coming dairy and sheep country. From
personal investigation and experience
believe it will not be many years until
northern Wisconsin will surpass the
southern part Of the state. It's develop

years, will be much more rapid in the
future" ..N-
The hardwood lands are the best In this

Hobe-Peters Land Company.

This corporation is the successor Of E..
H. Hobo Of st. Paul. This company was
organized the first of the year with cap
ital of $40, 900, with the following officers:
H. c. Peters, president, e. H. Hobe, vice
president, Fredrik Wage, secretary, and
Carsten, Hansen, treasurer.
They have their head Office on the
ground floor of the N. Y. Life building in
the city of ST. Paul.
The Hobe-Peters Land company have
acquired ownership to large amount of
lands lying south Of the $500" railroad in
Price county and east and west Of the
Central railroad in said county, which
they expect to COLOMBO and offer to the
actual settler. Their principal point of
operation will be from Ogema on the
.tWisconsin Central and KEENAN, and
Brentwood on the $500 railroad The
lands in this section of Wisconsin are
particularly fertile and adapted to diver
sified farming. This is not q so-called
new country, but great many farms
have been operated for a number Of years
and can be classed with the farms in the
older sections of that state.
The company also deals extensively in
large tracts of land for speculative pur-
poses and also in timber lands and has a
special department for the placing of
hardwood mills and manufacturing plants.
They will cheerfully give information to
such as are interested In this line.

IT'S BRIGHT FUTURE
Northern Wisconsin to Become a
Great Dairy Region.
THE CONDITIONS THAT FAVOR
1t Has pure, Cold Water and 7ar
Abundance of Wholesome
Stock Foods.

Northern Wisconsin, says student OF
that region will some day become one OF
the great dairy regions of America, II
only the people will bend their energies
in the right direction and concentrate
their efforts upon the production OF high
grade dairy products. Let us look care
fully into the requisites of true dairy
country, and see If Northern wisconsin
meets the demand.
First of all there Is that prime requisite
for fine butter and cheese, namely, an am
pie supply of pure, cold water, everywhere
accessible. Northern Wisconsin Is uneX-
celled in the great abundance OF pure colo
water in her thousands of lakes, her many
rivers, brooks and springs; indeed, the
water supply will meet the requirements
of the most exacting In it's quantity, pur-
lily and GOODNESS.
The second requisite is an abundance or
wholesome stock foods, in good variety for
summer and winter feeding. In summer
time the dairy cattle Of Northern Wiscon-
sin will find in its pastures the finest OF
grasses and clovers, for the cropping. Red
and white clover flourish, and timothy and
bluegrass pastures are as prevalent and
productive as anywhere further south.
The pasture season for cattle is not SO
long in the far north by about one month
as in the extreme southern part of the
state, but while they last, these pastures
are not excelled by those in any other
part of our country. For winter forage

After careful study of all the conditions
prevailing in northern Wisconsin, the writer
Is firmly impressed with the belief that this
will become one of the great dairy regions
of America First OF all, there is that prime
requisite for fine butter and cheese, namely,
an ample supply OF pure, cold water every
where accessible. Second, abundance Of
wholesome stock foods. In summer time the
cattle of northern Wisconsin will find in its
pastures of the finest grasses and clovers cred
and white clover 1ourish), and timothy and
blue grass pastures are as prevalent and pro-
ductive anywhere further south.
John Mathieson, president Of the Mime
sofa Dairy association, in the Daily Re
porter, says:
I made trip last summer into the hard
wood timber belt on the 500 railway in north
ern Wisconsin,. was surprised at the nat
ural advantages offered to dairymen in that
locality. There Is an abundance of pure wa
teri clover, timothy and blue grass do ex-
cellently. The soil is productive, as is shown
by the crop grown the lands in cultiva-
ton. This section is destined to be a fine
dairy region: all the natural conditions, eli
mate soil, pure water and nutritious grasses
are found hero. 70"
The Wisconsin Farmers Markets.
Wisconsin is favorably situated for both
agriculture and commerce. The Missis-
sippl on the west and the great lakes OF
Superior ON the north and Michigan on
the east give it an easy outlet for com
merce, also splendid sites for great indus
trial centers. Minneapolis, St. Paul, Du-
luth-Superior, the copper mines of Calu-
met and the iron mines Of the Vermillion
range, Milwaukee and other points Oh
Lake Michigan surround the state with
great hives Of industry. All these draw

The people are law abiding, peaceful
and prosperous. The country is dotted
with churches and every encouragement
is given to immigration and settlements
by the people and by the state. .- =.
