WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


Washington, January rs, 19o2.--The
beet sugar men determined on new
move recently and decided to go to
headquarters, as they expressed it, in
order to prevent any reciprocal ar
rangement with Cuba. Accordingly
they called at the White House and had
a conference with the President. They
supposed they could bring sufficient in
fiuence upon him to induce him to
change his views but they found him
very strongly entrenched in his opinion
and very difficult man To change.
They were confronted by letter from
Mr.. John D. Spreckles of California. in
which he said that the beet sugar in.
terest already had more consideration
than it deserved and Mr.. Spreckles
letter seemed to have more weight than
their arguments.
The campaign of the beet sugar men
in the House is producing results more
fayora BILE however. as they have led
some OF the members to believe that a
vote for Cuban reciprocity win lose
them their seats. The lobby is also en-
gagged, and with some SUCCESS it is
feared, in stirring up an animosity be
tween the House and the Senate.
There are some members and senator's
who actually blieve that the industry
will he severely injured BY grant of
twenty-five per cent reduction to Cuba
but, on the other hand, they say that,
if the administration is correct and
Cuban prosperity depends on the con
cossion, it had better be granted be
cause otherwise the United States will
be obliged to step in to preserve order
in Cuba and that win mean annexation
and free trade with the island.

plank, eight feet long. Il was named
the Milwaukee. Madison. and Water
town Plank Road, was forty five miles
long, and had toll gates every three
miles to aid in keeping TIC road in
order As many as ninety teams loaded
with grain for Milwaukee were count
ed in sight at one time,
Several buildings had been erected
previous to this; blacksmith and
carpenter shop, by Mr.. Shur.way and
Mr.. Nathan Wesson, "Thc Wagon
shop" it was styled; the four-mill
built by j. a Warren for Cl.as. Hart;
the town houseor tavern, now Lefeber
Bros Store; a little tavern back of the
Y M. C. A. building kept by Mr.. Silas
Brown. The mill in after years was
the enchanted castle of the school chill
dren who loved to climb its dizzy
heights to watch the water wheel
below and the little buckets that ran in
rows up and down stairs with their
dainty freight and to take Gheir toll in
wheat for their wheat gum. Here how
often were they weighed.
The dear cid miller has laid off his
dusty clothes for garments of white,
and strange hands take toll. The
tavern afterwards named the ''Wauwa-
tosa House." was as well as the mill
center of life in the town at this
time
Ar amusing anecdote is related by
MIR Jefferson Gregg. Many of the
drivers of the grain teams from
the west, enioute for Milwaukee,
often put up for the night at
this tavern. The barn was not large
enough to accommodate all of the
wagons. A large bovine, coming reg
ulary each night, used to nibble the
bags of grain, and enjoyed many an
appetizing meal.
The hostler asked permission of the
Inn-keeper to put an end to such dep
relations. One night as the creature
came for his evening meal, the hostler
wound rag dipped in tar around the
animals tai and ignited it. The crea-
ture roaring and believing lushed
down the lower road, making nightS
hideous with his screams.
A young man lone of the Jolly boys)
with a Joyful Jag" on, was zig-zag-
ging his way home from Milwaukee.
The animal in his rage and agony ran
from one side of the street to the other
making the man think it was the devil
after him. He climed over the fence,
was down on his knees instanter say
ing his prayers in audible voice. The
suffering beast rushed up the steep hill
to Mr.. Holston 's-his supposed home
where he was shot to end his misery
and to prevent the straw-stacks from
taking fire.
The Wauwatosa Plank Road on Vliet
street and Milwaukee avenue was built
later under the direction of Arba
Mower and Hiram Ross. This joined
the "Watertown Plank" crossing the
river west of Dnnlop's old greenhouse.
On this road at its Junction, with
Wauwatosa avenue, Mr.. Rose built his
brick blacksmith shop, around whose
anvil the school board often met.
The first five miles locomotive ever
ran in Wisconsin. was from Milwaukee
to the unfinished bridge which span
ned the river near the mill.

The Arkansas Country.

A reader of these notes writes from
Arkansas calling attention to the natur-
al advantages and opportunities offered
by that art of the country to men with
small means who are seeking homes
and cheap land-mild climate, abundant
rainfall, cheap fuel, a paradise for fruit
growing-and he wants to know why il
is that land seekers are fairly tumbling
cver themselves to get land in the bleak
and semiarid West and Northwest and
paying little or no attention 10 these in
Viting Southern opportunities. 1t is not
an easy question to answer. Fever and
ague. social conditions, sterility of soil
and the negro problem have much to do
with the fact he mentions. II may be
said that Northern bred men have new
er readily adapted themselves to South
ern conditions and that all marked i'm
provements and migrations of the
American people, such as took place in
the SOS and are going on at the pres
ent time, have usually followed the
lines of latitude with which they start
ed. Thus the Scandinavian. Russian
and Finlander usually seek homes in
northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and
North Dakota; the Irish, English and
Germans those ATTITUDES south of Al.
More than anything else, it is the NAL
arial conditions of the Southern climate
and the poverty of the soil which him
der a rapid settlement of that section,
attractive as the South country is in So
many respects.

Should the Women Milkp

Should the American farmer permit
or require his wife and daughters to
help milk the cows? is a question which
has come to the front at two or three of
the farmers institutes which the writer
has attended the past winter. While
women far more than most men are
specially fitted to mix the cow-the best
darying in the world is done by
women, as in Denmark-it is still a
fact that as things are in this couI<ey
the average American farmer will not
require this service of his wife and
daughters. and. more, If he did, there
are mighty few of them who would do
1t. In a case where a man had six
girls and no boys we think the propo-
sition would bear debating at least. In
the main, however, the average Ameri-
can woman has all the work she ought
to do without milking cows.

Roadmaking in the South.

We were talking with a gentleman
who lives in North Carolina lately, and
he tells us that the good roads ques-
ton is a very lively one in that state,
tie county in which he lives having
appropriated for this coming years
work on the highways the large sum of
$50. 900. The work being there done is
all in the line of making macadam pike
roads. The South realizes the need of
such work more than does the north,
for what is only a short spring season
of bad roads in the West and North
west is extended in the South to cover
the entire winter season.

A wealthy telephone corporation,
erecting a long line across a western
state, tore down a local farmers line
which was in its way. When remon-
strated with by the farmers and asked
to repair their line, the corporation
representatives treated the grangers

company worth 81, 900, 600 had no time
to fuss with farmers lines. But the

The Future of Good Farm Lands.

The Future of Good Farm Lands.
Every acre of rich and fertile soil OF
the West will have an ultimate value of
from $50 to 500 Pc acre, depending
upon special location and farm i'm
provements. This applies to all land
in any state where 20 bushels of wheat,
so of oats, IL of flax, 100 of potatoes,
40 Of barley, so of corn and two tons of
timothy Or clover a be produced to
the acre, where blue grass drives out
.Ie native grasses and where the rain
fall VIII average not less than 10 inches
during May, June, July and August.
Latitude will not merely affect the truth
of this statement. There are millions
of acres of such land which may be Sc
cured at from SIS to $25 per acre which
will more than double in value incide
of fifteen years.

Don't Plant Corn Too Early.

1t is we'll to remember that corn will

frosts being almost sure eve if the
