THAT JEFFERSON ROAD.

In statement made Dy Ed Evenson
in last week CENSOR that the people
blamed him for making cost on the town
of jefferson for not maintaining his
road the board laid ont for him, for not
depositing the amount cf money assessed
against him as award for said highway
within ten ays, as the law directs; He
says the chairman informed him that he
had plenty of time to pay to the treas
urer the the sum of $244. On the day
the road was laid the whole law as Is
given in the town laws was read in his
presence in Samuel Mills house. He
again asked me in the presence of one
of the members of the town board, before
leaving the premises, how long time
he had to deposit his money, and | told
him the town law formulas did not
state any length of time, only IL must
be deposited before the papers are filed
l am not to blame for the omission in
the town laws in not stating the time.
Mr.. Evenson eau not deny the follow
! ing statements: He told me that he had
| lawyer employed to see that every
thing was done right He was told d
| few days before depositing his money
that he had lost his road He told me the
day that he deposited his money that
everything was all rlghi as he had been
informed so. He will not say that he
was unable to purchase road over the
land owned by Samuel Mills, as stated
ir his affidavit. Mr.. Mills now offers
Linn good outlet and better road than
the board made for him for $l25. He
will not accept ii because he would have
to open and shut gate.
Many more facts could be said ON the
subject that would cleat the minds of
doubtful citizens that the chairman is
not to blame for one thing that has been
neglected, as Mr.. Evenson has stated.
No person can cay that have not been
honest in all of my dealings while in the
| service of my town as chairman.
leave it for the public to decide whom
the blame should rest ON for Mr.. Even,
sons not complying with the law

This is the time OF year farmers are
discussing what crops they will raise

raised the mortgage from many farm
n Vernon county and no doubt will be
profitable industry for years to come.
Tobacco of the entire Kickapoo valley is
famous for its fine quality and is eagerly
sought after by the great manufacturing
firms. We believe that every farmer
could increase his yearly balance by
raising a few acres which would not
| interfere with his other crops. Think
of the money one acre of tobacco brings
from 800 to 5000

ALIrTLE ANCIENT HISTORY.
Hon. W ROyt Revives Memories Of Railroad Agi-
tation Some Sorry People in La Crosse.

EDITOR CENSOR: Il, with several
/ Others, the most OF whom have either
/ died or movedaway from Vernon county
/ since, worked hard and spent some money
! trying TO get Il railroad connection with
I La Crosse, some time before the prest Mt
I road was built to Sparta. We succeeded
IN bonding all the towns along the pro-
posed route tromNiroqua to the town Of
Bergen, and secured the required amount
asked for from a the towns The route
was the same as the one now proposed
for the electric line.
We then went TO La Crosse AM asked
ald OF them to the amount of $50, 600
They had under consideration, at the
same time, q proposition from the Green
Bay railroad for aid TO the amount of
$40, 600 After looking the situation
over very care ully we came to the con-
clusion that we could get along with
S25, 600 from La Crosse, thinking that
they would be willing to aid us to the
amount of $25, 900 and give the Green
Bay road $5O, 900 The two propositions
were submitted to a vote in the city of
La Crosse and the one for SIS, 600 TO the
Green Bay road carried and we got left
La Crosse people though. at that time
that one train week from Viroqua to
La Crosse would carry all the products
of Vernon county. Some of them were
so foolish they even made such express
ions IN our presence. | know most of
Them have found out to their sorrow
what great mistake they made at that
time, but If there should be stray one
lett who has not changed his mind, all
he needs to do is to go to Viroqua, spend
few days and witness the trains leav-
ing Viroq ia for Sparta with their great
loads of the products of Vernon county,
and remember one of the great mistakes
of their lives-a mistake of not giving us
the small sum of $25 900 to turn all this
trade and traffic toward their city.
l, for one will do the same as did
years ago, spend my time and money to
aid the proposed electric road.

In closing a business letter to the CEN
sOR Mr.. j c. Acheson, formerly Of this
community. writes from Montrose, South
Dakota: I'VE are we'll pleased with the
country. Times are good, crops have
been good the past year and farmers
have been getting fine prices for produce.
Land is advancing in price Farms that
were selling for S15 to $40 when came
here now command from $25 to $40 per
acre. My farm, which cost me $24 an
acre, could be sold for $40, bat as we are
situated near the town Of Montrose. a
place that is growing fast, we have con-
eluded not TO sell out. From what
have seen Of the climate here in the past
two winters, would say that it is more
pleasant to live here than in Wisconsin.
Spri~g comes about ten days earlier
than in Wisconsin and the roads are
good the most of the year, with but lit
tie mud in the spring time, which makes
1t pleasant to get around.

Alum Baking Powders.

There are so many alum taking pow
ders about. most of which are represent
ed to be made of cream of tartar. that
the following list Of powders in which
chemists have found alum, will be of
value:
Mani. by Calumet Baking Po'der Go chicago

Do Mani ey Grant Chemical Co., co.. chicago =
CHAPMAN's ... -. .......... Contains Alum
Mani BY Chapman & smith Co. chicago
Mani by J. p. Dieter CO., Chicago.
In addition TO these, it is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands.
These powders are put up for the grocer
and his name put upon the labels by
manufacturers Of aium powders. The
manufacturers of alum powders, it il
said, find their efforts to market their
goods in this way greatly aided by the
ambition of the grocer to sell a powder
with his own name upon the label, es-
pecially az he can make an abnormal
profit upon it. Many grocers doubtless,
do not know that the powders they are
thus pushing are detrimental TO health
aud would be actually contraband in
may sections IL sold without disguise.
The housekeeper should bear in mind
that alum makes cheap baking pow
der Though it costs but two cents q
pound, it Is the principal cost of the
powder The quality Of the powder is,
therefore, usually indicated by the price
Not always, however; sometimes spec
ial brand sold for the price of high
class cream of tartar powder is foun(

The safer way il } buy only the old
standard brands, certified by the Gov
ernment chemists TO be made of cream
of tartar.
