HINES HAS CORNER
Reported That the Lumber KING Has
Things Fixed.
DICTATES TO LUMBER WORLD.
The Hines Companies Control the Lake
Carrying Trade III Lumber, and are
Said to Have Complete Control
of the Situation.

Has Edward Hines cornered the
lumber marked? Reports sent out
from Chicago the first of the week
seem to indicate that such is the
case, and that during the coming
season Mr.. Hines will dictate to
dealers, as it is said that he has the
lake region pretty thoroughly under
his control. The Chicago advices
say that the lumber trade was never
so uncertain as it is now, and that
none of the big concerns in that city
have charter for carrying their
products the coming season. SO far
as the small dealers are concerned
the lumber business seems to be
quite III the air. Concerning vessel
movements the Chicago dispatches
have the following:
Some of the heaviest shippers in
recent years state to vesselmen that
they do not whether they will
want any vessels at all ard certainly
they do not want any under season
charters,
The general impression among
vessel men is that Edward Hines has
the lumber product of the lake region
pretty thoroughly under his control.
Some go so far as to say that be is
running corner in the product of
the lumber mil S and that most of
the dealers will have to come to him
for their supplies. With his large
feet of boats Mr. Hines will be in
position to practically control freight
rates during a good part Of the sea-
son.

A Non Partisan Judiciary.

A good deal is heard from time to
time about electing Judges of the
different courts irrespective of poll
tics, and Bayfield, county has fol-
lowed this rule in the past, with the
result that the Judges of both of the
Municipal Courts of the county are
democrats Isn't it about time that
some political party, or somebody,
was made responsible for these in
situations? The republicans of Bay
field county, we believe, could well
afford to take the matter In hand,
elect delegates and nominate judges
for these courts. There are plenty
of good men in the republican party
to properly administer the places.
When these democratic judges are
candidates for the judgeship they
never fail to receive the full demo
cratic vote. If they have an OPP
ponent that opponent receives only a
portion of the independent vote,
while the rest Of the independent
vote goes with the democrats, the
result being that the democratic
candidate mas the advantage. A
republican candidate duly nominated
by republican convention, would
have the support of his party be-
hind him, and if he failed to do his
duty towards the office would likely
not hold it more than one term
Under the circumstances THE
TINES agrees with the gentlemen
who have made the proposition to
hold a republican county convention
for the purpose of ominating a
Municipal Judge, and believes that
the County Committee should take
the matter up and proceed with it.

Concerning w. G. MaxCy

The Sunday Sentinel publishes
newspaper cut of w. G.. Maxcy
and also views of the Oshkosh
Water Works, and has the fol
lowing to say of the plant and
It's management at Oshkosh:
The reorganized Oshkosh
water works company has just
completed extensive improve
ments to it's plant: that in the
opinion of experts who have ex-
amined and tested it for the city,
make it the most effective and
thoroughly equipped in any city
of the size in the United States,
and it is the belief of the CITY
officials that the very highest
degree of excellence in fire pro-
lection compatible with the
financial capability Of the city
has been reached.
With fire protection the COM
pany is also furnishing pure
drinking water, as shown by
chemical and archaeological
tests. Formerly the water was
obtained from artesian wells, and
when the quantity was insult
Gent water from Lake Winnie
bago in it's crude state was
pumped into the mains.
The company has placed in
commission filter plant of A.
100000 gallons laily capacity,
the filter being Of the "mechani-
cal" variety, and coagulent is
used to remove bacteria. Two
members of the faculty of the
state university recently pro
nounced the water pure and
wholesome and the official fire
test also proved satisfactory.
For large fires and other
emergencies settling basins and
a storage reservoir with capa-
city of 100000 gallons have
been esta blished. The company
furnishes direct pressure for
fires, no steamers being used,
the force coming from powerful
Holly pumps with q capacity Of.
100000 gallons a day. The
company has on occasion fur
nished more than twenty streams
for a fire, the equivalent Of ten
steamers.
The water supply is obtained
from Lake Winnebago through a
twenty-four inch intake pipe
running long way out into the
lake. It has fifty miles of mains
and 400 hydrants. The Oshkosh
Water Works Companyis headed
by ". G. Maxcy, who, as presi-
dent and treasurer, has shaped
it's policy for years, and has ex-
tensive interests in other cities
of the state. He and his wife
are popular socially.

A JEWEL IN HOOK.
Isle of Guam Pleads Cor a Lift from
Congress.

From his lonely station in mid
Pacific Commander Schroeder issues
a pitiful appeal in behalf of the help
less people over whom he has been ap.
pointed benevolent dictator. In the
first place, the handful of natives or
the island of Guam have no money tc
pay for their education in the ways OF
American civilization and congress
has refused to contribute to their sup,
port. Since the hurricane of 1900 they
have done well to keep alive. Not a
pound of copra or cocoa or coffee has
been produced for export. In fact
there has not been enough produced
to supply the home market, according
to Commander Schroeder. The S35,
900 worth of exports last year con.
sisted almost entirely of Mexican sill
yer dollars. Practically the sole source
of funds to the islanders Is the small
force of naval and civil employees. Be.
sides those in the pay Of the United
States government there r Ia
American residents. The establish.
ment of a leper station and the heavy
s%hrinkage in the governors receipts
have made 1t necessary to stop all
works on public improvements.
1t is not much Commander
Schroeder asks congress to grant him
only S4S, 200, to give employment to
the people in road building. Certainly
a great world power like the United
Etss;e IS ought to be willing to pay that
small price for the glory of possessing
a raltry ''gem and jewel of the Paci.

OLD ST. PAUL's COSTLY PEWs.
At Present Valuation Of Boston Prop.
erty They Are Worth Two Million

A pew in st. Paul's Episcopal church
with the present real estate market val
ue of the property is worth the neat
sum of $14, 925.37 showing as it does the
great rise in values of Boston's real es-
tate in the past four-score years.
Just 80 years ago the value of d new
at st. Paul's Episcopal church on Ire
mont street could be figured up a. a
selling price of S633.95 though sor2e
came as high as 5000, but the sum men
toned was the average. In so years
the pews have gone up 2,239 percent.
AS high as two million dollars has
been offered for the property of the st.
Pauls Episcopal parish on fremont
street, between Temple place and
street, betweenn n Templen fwoypoo
and secret of success with horses
pews has been obtained.
A glance into the early records OF
the parish Of the st. Paul's Episcopal
church of Boston shows us that al q
meeting of the proprietors held on Sep
TENDER II. 1920, the pews in the church
were divided into three classes.
The number of proprietors of st.
Pauls is now "a, and it is interesting to
note that at the auction spoken of in
1920 the sum Of $S4, $50 was realized
from 1874 pews at the present date a
value of S14,925.37 each or a gain of 3d.
291.42, or figured in percentage, a gain
OF 2,239 per cent for the past SO years,
which is not a bad interest on the orig
inal investment.
One, upon looking into the historic
l edifice and inspecting the pews,
would never dream Of their real value.
Rising to the height of three feet they
are upholstered in faded red brocaded
satin, the pattern of which cannot be
discovered on account of the wear.
The doors and sides are of enameled
white panels topped Off with ratings of
polished book rack of black walnut run
ming the whole length of the pew, while
carpet upholstered kneeling hassocks
are IN plenty.
Pew No. 25, for which Daniel Webster
bid $3.50 at the first sale in 1920, is on
that side Of the church facing Winter
street and is midway between the chan
eel and the front entrance. It is only
conspicuous from the other pews by
being opposite the second stained glass
window on the Winter street side. Its
present occupant is Miss Ellen F. Ma
son..
The last six pews in the last row are
somewhat higher than the others, as the
ratings are at least five high above the
aisles. Every pew is upholstered in
the same style and no two differ in fit

ONE KNOWING OFFICE CAT.
1t Was Included in the List of Neces-
sary Help.

Though not digniied by any other
name than 1.-THE Cat" the feline pet Of
a certain Broadway Office building as
thoroughly enjoys the convenience OF
the skyscraper as any of the tenants
who pay high rents and who answer to
the big names gilded on the doors of
the Office.
In its kitten days the little black and
white thing had been tossed off the
higher skyscraper adjoining by the
mischievous son of the j%anitor, and
complacently installed itself in the
restaurant on the roof of it's new abode.
BY and by "The Cat" was bereft of
its provender by the closing up of the
restaurant, so it took to prowling about
the big building in search of rats and
mice and it's sickness testified to it's
prowess as a hunter.
But climbing the stairs of a sky
scraper is no more attractive to cats
than it is to men, and what are eleve-
vators for at any rate? At first 1.-THE
Cat" would watch its chance to slip on
the elevator when passengers entered
or left the Cage but now its sharp
''meaow" is as much needed by the ele-
vator men as the shout of up or
down" by one of the tenants.
Thus "The Cat" travels about its do
mains and easily reaches any part of its
~rat-stocked game preserves. The build
ing being somewhat o~ld-fashioned, and,
therefore, well adapted to the purposes
of the rat family. 1.-THE Cat" is welcom-
ed in many offices, and it seems to real
ize its responsibilities, for 1t patrols the
building from subcellar to roof, follow
ing the %janitor about on his tours and
searching likely corners for rodents,
while the uniformed functionary in
spects the work of the cleaners and
sees that everything is ship-shape.
When a family of rats sets up house
keeping in one of the offices, THE Cat"
becomes a daily visitor. Sometimes it Is
waiting when the tenant comes in the
morning and slips In when he opens
the door. This will occur every morn-
ing for several days until the guilty
rats or mice are caught, and then "The
Cat" will find a new hunting ground in
another Office.
Recently when a new manager took
charge of the building he was asked to
make out a list of his help, with notes
as to their efficiency, and feline pride
assuredly would have been gratified to
see at the end of the roll of hall men,
elevator runners, cleaners, and mechan-
les, the line:

BACK TO NATURE.
What the S~trenuousness of Twentieth
Century is Leading Us To.

DR.. Arthur Mcdonald, of st. Louis,
declares that automobiles, electric
cars, telephones and other luxuries
of life are responsible for the in.
crease in crime, insanity and sui
eide"
What? you say.
Are not these the adjuncts of civil
ization and is not civilization q good
thing?
yes, but civilization has its perils.
1t Is a great mistake TO suppose
that luxuries and conveniences add
to life. If nc judiciously used they
subtract from 1t. Men find strength
In struggle. In so far as the com
forts and facilities of modern life
limit the natural struggle of mind
and body in SO far do they enfeeble
mind and body.
AS DR.. Mcdonald says modern con-
~veniences put an abnormal strain
upon the nervous system as compar-
ed with the muscular system"
therefore the cry, Back to Ma
tur9!2
= therefore the thousand and one
systems of muscular development.
Primordial man found strength in
doing things for himself. He had no
automobile in which to go on a Jour.
ney. He walked and built up his
muscles. He had no telephone to
convey a message to a friend. He car.
ried it.
Our immediate ancestors had few.
er labor-saving devices than we. In
heriting strength from their ances-
tors, who had still fewer accommo-
dations, our forebears gave to this
generation the physical capital upon
which it is now doing business.
Does civilization then, weaken the
race?
1t depends.
If civilized man Is unable to use
nationally the devices of today. If he
siavishly uses them, neglecting the
activities that nature requires, he will
go down physically and mentally.
The refinements Of civilization
ought not to cause man to forget that
ne has an animal nature.
He is more than an animal-much
more.
But he Is animal at the base. new.

LEGISLATION AGAINST PESTS.
Politics not Always the Best Cure for
the Evil.

In general we believe that politics
is a poor cure for insect or f%ungous
pests. We have little sympathy with
the u and cry started a few years
ago by certain excitable entomologists.
we have not opposed a reasonable
amount of conservative legislation
aimed to control the San Jose scale:
but we have never had great faith in
the effectiveness Of the best of such
legislation, and we have felt that some
OF it was designed more to boom a
few entomologists than to protect
fruitgrowers. What, now, is the his.
tory of the San Jose case? We have
mad a flood of quarantine legislation
and OF expert police protection such
as this country lever saw in any cir.
cumstances before. Practically every
rose bush or plum tree that has been
circulated in the last six years has
passed some sort of an official inspec.
ton, certification of fumigation. And
yet, at the same time, the scale has
spread without the slightest check.
apparently, throughout every state in
the fruitgrowing region, and is now in.
or within reach of, almost every orch
ard in the country. The scientists
who have studied the means for re-
pressing the scale in the orchard have
been doing the fruitgrowers a real
service; but those who have been de-
vising guarantees, or lobbying for
special appropriations, have been Of
very doubtful value to the country
