Rival Companies Actively at Work
Arranging For Construction of
Their Lines From This City to
SaIen---Surveying Corps Work
ing Near One Another.
Fairmont & CIarksburu Traction Company Has
Two Gangs of Workmen Grading the Road-bed
For Its Line. One Working at Adamston and the
Other at Wilsonburg---PeopIe Delighted.

Wilsonburg is highly elated over the
Developments there today. The citizens
generally are rejoicing over the certain
prospects of a street car line through
that place and the outlook for two lines.
Bright and early the Salem Traction
Terminal company had a corps of survey
ors, eight in all, on the scene and they
lost no time in beginning Il survey or
the proposed route from this city to Sa-
lem. About the same time Civil Engi-
neer Dudley d. Britt, with many
men, put in an appearance and began
survey also. with just as much diligence.
But the two corps of surveyors were not
all TO interest the dcnizens of that place
" ho had become thoroughly awakened to
an appreciation of bhe fact that the
trolley was about to be within their
reach. Their delight wsts increased and
their faith in the coming of the street
cars, when Contractor James NJ. Allen
landed in the town with a dozen men
and went to work to grade the route
The latter. as well as Mr.. Britt. repre-
sents the Falirmont & Clarksburg Trae-
tion company.
The Salem company surveyors have
gone over the line four or five time and
are coming ugain from Salem and are
east of O'Ncil mines mile, and half
west OF Wilsonburg.
Britt's corps began right i'll Wilson
burg and is surveying west. The point
OF meeting of the tw, corps is near the
property of Dir. Il. i. Dawson, a short
distance west Of the railroad station.
The Fairnunt \ ClarkSburg company
il surveying the left side of the road
going west and the other comPnny's
route is, on the other side of the public
highway.
Contractor Allen began the grading Of
the Fairmont & Clarksburg line in front
of NJ. j. Francis resident, and is going
in western direction. lie expects to
have an additional force there tomorrow
Mr. Allen also has a force Of men grad
ing Just beyond Adamston.
These movements on the part of these
rival companies signify that the roads.
or one Of them at least, will be built
in the near future The Fairmomt &
Clarksburg company is doubtless in po-
sition to push the work and there is
plenty of capital behind the other com
pany and no good apparent reason why
ii should not build its road in the inn
mediate future too. 1t is hardly proba
BILE. however, that both roads viii be
built, as the patronage would scarcely
Justify the expenditure.

Gov. LA FoLLETr's freight rate argu-
ment is having few holes punched into
it by the publication of local tariffs that
prevail in localities that furnish large
amount of shipping. The State Journal
on Monday published table of figures
to show that under the concentration
rates for butter and eggs allowed Madi-
son, these products can be shipped from
Madison to Chicago for Sl2.24 less per
10000 pounds weight than they can be
shipped from Clinton, Iowa. the same
distance to Chicago. Tobacco, by means
of concentration rates, it is claimed, can
be shipped to Chicago $3.50 cheaper in
10000 pound lots than it can from Gin
ton, and cheese $500 on $4,000 pounds
from the concentration point of Lancas-
ter than it could be under the Iowa dis
lance tariffs. Concentration rates, the
railroad people claim, are impossible I'M
der the Iowa commission law. Figures
showing these tariffs in favor of Wiscon-
sin will be published in all parts of the
state and will, the railway people claim,
show Wisconsin is receiving beneficial
freight rates. .~-@ ...-

Sugar Beets Ready For Market.

The first shipment of sugar beets
raised in this locality has been made
during the week when the Whitford crop
in Albion of two acres were loaded at
this station and forwarded to the mill at
Menominee Falls. Mr. Arthur Short,
who will superintend the weighing and
shipping of the beets in this vicinity,
has himself six acres which he estimates
will yield 100 tons, about an acre was
drowned out and this will bring his
yield up to the average of the season.
He will commence shipping next week
and it is estimated it will require ten
cars to transport them to the factory.
After deducting about 10 per cent. for
dirt and poor topping, the factory will
settle with growers on a basis OF the
weights as delivered on board cars. The
beets will be weighed on Lidicker's
scales.
The ground planted to beets this sum-
mer which will give an abundant yield,
is altogether about four hundred acres
in this Immediate vicinity. An acre or
the beets is an average car load and as
there is quite large crop growing In
different parts of Rock county, the total
number of car loads from Rock county
will be large before the entire crop is
harvested. The beets average in weight
from six to fifteen pounds each. Five
pounds is considered good sized beet.
Most of the beets of this vicinity will
average twenty tons to the acre. One
crop already delivered at GAINESVILLE
weighed out II tons to the acre. The
crop is contracted for with the farmers
by the beet sugar factory at Menominee
and the growers, are paid by weight, ex-
cept IN the case of extra fine lots when
the beets are tested, and if they show
high per cent. sugar, more is paid &C
cordingly. The harvesting of the crop
will take about two months so will con-
tinue we'll into November.
The Wisconsin Sugar company at Me-
nominee Falls began its third year Tues
day morning, when 100 or more men
hustled to their places. The company
has over 1880 acres Of beets planted,
averaging over fifteen tons per acre, or
total of over 100000 tons, to be run
through at the rate of 500 tons every
twenty-four hours. The company pays
out over $4,000 for wages during the
season and pays over S250OO0 for the
beets. Only about fifty car loads have
arrived as yet, but in another week the
rush is expected Then the factory will
be running at full capacity.

# IS not improbable that Wisconsin

IT is not improbable that Wisconsin is
paying on the average higher distance
tariff for freights to the railroads than
are people in the state of Iowa. 1t is
probably just as true that Iowa is pay
ing more in turn than are shippers of
New York or Massachusetts. Circum7
stances and conditions have much to do
with all this. We are prone in ALL lines
of business to get as,large a margin of
profit as we can, and railroad people are
no exceptionto the rule If rates~4are
too high it does not necessarily follow
that bitter, vindietive war must be in
stituted to secure reductions. The Rail
road Commissioner, of Wisconsin Is q
duly constituted officer to regulate such
matters. 1t is within the rightful power
of the governorto file his data and com
PARSONS with this officer and make his
legal complaints All this can be done
without making heaven and. earth and
sky lurid with hates. Railroad rates
is business proposition pure and sim
pie, not political frenzy. All honest peo-
pie want the railroads to deal rightly
with the people and also want the people
to deal justly with the railroads. All

The semi official announcement, made
at the White House since President
Roosevelt's return to Washington, that Il
proclamation will soon be issued calling
congress together in special session, on
November 9, to complete the ratification
of the Cuban reciprocity treaty, coupled
with the intimation that no other matter
will be- laid before the special session.
should be regarded by all branches Of
the independent tobacco trade as a sig
nal to redouble the efforts heretofore
made looking to the amendment of the
treaty, so as to eliminate its objection
able features, and especially the proposed
twenty per cent reduction on Cuban CT
gars. The necessity for the most ener-
getic efforts on the part OF the tobacco
trade is emphasized by the declarations
recently made by prominent leaders OF
the so-called Nbeet- sugar contingent" IN
congress-, to the effect that they will no
longer oppose the completion Of the
ratification of the treaty. A powerful
ally has thus been taken from the field,
and the tobacco trade will have to make
its campaign for modification unaided
and alone. The. detection Of the beet.
sugar contingent was foreshadowed some
months ago La the state OF Michigan,
for example, the control of the industry
has practically passed into the possess
sion IT the so called sugar trust, which
now is in the enviable position of being
able to run it's beet-sugar factories at Il
handsome profit if the treaty is not rati-
fed or of making even larger gains un-
der the reduced duties on Cuban raw
sugar If the convention is put in force.
The managers of the small factories not
absorbed by the trust have concluded
that they can better stand twenty per
cent cut, with a guarantee that no fur
the reductions will be made in the duty
on raw sugar during the next five years,
even though the tariff should be COM
prehensively revised within that period,
than to suffer the continued agitation
which unsettles market conditions and
prevents the extention of the industry.

STATE Dairy and Food Commissioner

STATE Dairy and Food Commissioner
j. O. Emery has declared a continuation
of his war in Wisconsin against oleomar-
garine. He interprets the Wisconsin
pure food law to mean that any fat-prod-
uct colored any shade of yellow so that
it in any degree might resemble or be
mistaken for butter is unlawful. His in
depreciation is perhaps as stringent
against the product as is made any place
in the United States. He has sent out
to all grocers dealers by wholesale or
retail and manufacturers of food prod
ucts in Wisconsin, besides some outside
of the state who may operate in Wiscon-
sin, lengthy circular, with the Wiscon-
sin statute inclosed, telling plainly of his
intention to apply the law with its fullest
effect in favor of the protection of the
dairy COW and of the consumer against
the free trade in oleomargarine.
