Is Disputed,

The claim which was made that the
High school basket ball team had
earned the title of champions of the
city has stirred up quite a little ex.
citement in basket ball circles. All
the leading teams in the city are dis
putting the championship and challen-
ges to the High school boys are issuing
from every direction. At any rate
there should be plenty of basket ball
entertainment for while. judging by
the number Of teams looking for a
game.

A New Orchestra

A new orchestra to be known rs the
Philharmonic orchestra with William
Bethke leader, is being organize in
this city and will make its first public
appearance shortly after Easter, when
it will give benefit concert and dance.
The orchestra will be composed of
seven instruments, violin, piano. cor
net, clarionet, viola, trombone and
traps. A good orchestra is one of the
needs of city the size of Watertown
and the organization should be helped
in every way possible by liberal patron
age. A musical organization like the
one contemplated can be maintained
but in no other way and the fact that it
encourages local talent should not be
lost sight Of. There is plenty of musi-
cal talent in Watertown which may be
encouraged and this is one way of
doing so.

viii Not Resume.

It has been given out by officials OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad that no further work of laying
double track on the La Crosse division
will be taken up this summer. Nearly
100 miles of second track were put
down on the La Cross division last year.
between Brookfield Junction and La
Crosse, and it was generally UNDER
ssOOd at the time work ceased for the
winter that it would be resumed this
spring, pushing on toward St. Paul.
While in Milwaukee for few minutes
yesterday President A. j. Earling OF
the road was asked whether the COM
pany intended resnming the work this
year. He replied that there would be
no second track work undertaken on
the La Crosse division this spring or
summer. As a reason for not going
ahead with the work he said: '.All
materials and labor are now so high
that it is decided not TO undertake this
class of work for the present. Probably
some time later it will be taken up"
AS considerable number of Water
town laboring men receive work dur
ing the summer months on the railroad
there will be probably more labor idle
than last year, but as the street i'm
provement will be begun this year, it
will give employment to large num-
ber Of men who would otherwise be
Idle.

RULE is RELAXED
Relating to Burning of Timber
Refuse on Reservation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2o.-The
interior department has telegraphed in
structions to it's representatives at the
Leech Lake Indian reservation in Min
nesota to give wide publicity to the
fact that Rule 8, Of the regulations
governing the sale of the timber there
for the benefit of the Indians, in so far
as it relates to the removal and burn
ing of refuse, will be reasonably con-
strued and literally administered by
the department and no further remov-
ais or burnings will be required than
are actually necessary to prevent for
est fires. Rule provides that all
chunks, knotty sections or other util-
lied portions of trees, as well as
branches, must be piled and as much
as possible piled together to insure
clean burning.
Many of the agents of lumber COM
panies are objecting to this rule and
say if the rules were strictly enforced
it would greatly diminish the amount
to be received from the pine. The de-
partment, however, is of the opinion
it Is Its duty to prevent tops and
refuse endangering standing timber,
but has issued instructions to the su-
perintendent Of logging at Cass Lake,
flexible, will permit the matter to be
controlled by the department and not
by the purchaser of logs.
