HON. CADY'S FISH LAW
BENEFITS YELLOW RIVER

That River Now as a Result Abounds in
Fish.
The law passed by the legislature in
1901 through the efforts of Assembly
man E. A Cady of this county. requir
ing that all dams in the Yellow river
be provided with suitable fiShwayS or
passages for fish up the river, has had
the effect of greatly improving the
fishing in the upper course of the
river. Formerly there was little or no
fishing north Of Pittsville, but this
season many bass and pickerel have
been caught in the upper portion of
the stream and even in the branches.
In two days fishing last week Herman
Kuethe of this city caught ten bass
and one pickerel weighing over fifteen
pounds in all. The largest bass
captured weighed two pounds and
half and the bass that was hooked
but got away, weighed five pounds
and four ounces. Anglers from here
are already taking advantage of the
improvement in the Yellow as fish
ing place. -Marshfield Times.

RAILROADS TO TAKE
UP FORESTRY QUESTION
Bureau Of Forestry Experimenting in Pre-
serving Timbers,

The Bureau Of Forestry has con-
tinued this year Oh a far larger scale
the experiments in timber seasoning
and preservation for the railroads
which it began last year under DIR.
Hermann Won Schrenk. This summer
the work will be carried on in many
StateS-eaSt, south and weSt-and will
be broadened in scope and made even
more thorough than before. This
work will be done for the New York
Central, the Erie, the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Pennsylvania railroads
in the east; and for the Illinois Cen
trail, the Santa Fe, the ST. Louis and
San Francisco, the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas; the Northern Pacific, and
the Burlington in the south and west.
The scarcity of valuable timbers is
felt by no class of consumers more
keenly than by the railroads, which
use every year 100000 ties merely
to renew those worn out and decayed.
The price of timbers has risen in some
instances to a figure which makes
their use prohibitive; in other cases
the supply is so nearly exhausted that
the roads have been compelled to look
about for new timbers
Important and valuable as this work
is to the railroad and telegraph COM
panies, it is of far greater Importance
and value to the country at large.
The use of cheaper timbers for rail-
road ties is in several ways an economic
saving; it relieves the high-grade
timbers of part of the heavy demand
that is being made upon them, opens
a market for timbers for which there
is now little sale, and affords splendid
opportunities for conservative manage
ment of timber lands. The work is
being prosecuted according to the
regular cooperative system of the
Bureau, by which the field and travel
ing expenses of the Bureaus agents
are paid by those for whom the work
is done.

WHAT "BARKIS
is WILLIN'?"
Recently Detached Sections OF
Marshfield Are Asking the
Question.
DIFFICULTY In SECUR-
ING AN ASSESSOR
Marshfield Assessor Unwilling
Trouble May Be Settled
August 3.

The nine sections, which was re-
Gently detached from the city of
MarShtield, are, as it were, land with
out country. In 1887, Marshfeld
was incorporated by a special act of
the legislature. 1t contained the
entire west half of township 25, north
of range 3 east, which previously con-
Stituted the town of Marshield.
Thus the city's territory was three
miles wide and six miles long. The
division, in other words, gave the city
Is sections. In time it was found
that the city had more territory than
it could manage to the greatest benefit
to all.
Last spring the people living in the
nine northern sections and the nine
southern sections decided by a
large majority to separate. The
question now arose, "Where should the
southern section betake itself?" The
statutes were appealed to, but these
were not definite upon the subject.
They provided that the territory so
detached should go back to the town
or towns to which it BELONGS. II the
verb, "BELoNGs, had been in the past
tense, everything would have been
clear sailing.
The nine detached sections
appealed to the town of Marshfeld to
take them in, but "Barkis" was not
"willin'." Would the town of Rich
field? No! 1t, too, turned the cold
shoulder The town of Rock?
Certainly not! The town OF Lincoln
would not listen to the proposition.
The assessment season soon came.
Who would assess the nine sections?
The assessor Of the city of Marshfield
| positively was too busy. The assessor
of Marshfield town was finally made
to see things in their right proportion.
But now arose another difficulty.
The board of review of Marshfeld
town was not much in favor of taking
up the work where the assessor left
off.
Numerous letters have been written
| to the state commissioner and to these
he answers in words to this effect:
Leave it all to Attorney Cochran,
supervisor of assessments; his decision
in the matter will be satisfactory. !"
Attorney Cochran spent Monday and
part of Tuesday at Marshfield with
the assessor of Marshfield town, aiding
him in correcting and posting the
assessment roll for the detached sec
tions. Next Monday he will .meet at
| Hewitt with the board of review of
Marshfield town. 1t is believed that
the whole difficulty will then be
settled.
One solution to the problem would
be to form another town of the
detached sections, but without
special act of the legislature this
could not be done. And it would
manifestly be unjust as the nine
sections would then have as large
representation on the county board as
the ordinary town of 80 sections. AS
the great objection to the detached
sections is the lack of good roads.
Marshtield town could annex them
and then set them off into an indie
pendent road district.

The BLUE EIouR.

So Sir Lancelot came into the Mill and
there he found Martimor recovered of his
swoon, and had marvellous joy of him
when he heard how he had wrought For
Martimor had consolidated the Mil with
all the others on that streatm, and had
used UP every drop Of water in it for the
stock of the Trust which he had sold at
par, and was become magnate million
aire.
Now art thou proven worthy of the
noble order OF knighthood.'' said Sir
Lancelot, and forthwith he dubbed him
knight
Then he said that Sir Martimor should
ride with him in his private car 10 the
court OF King Pellinore, to receive castle
and q fair lady 10 Wife, for doubtless the
King could deny him nothing 10 reward
him for letting his Majesty in on the
ground floor.
But Martimor stood in a muse. Then
said he. May a knight have his free will
and choice of castle where he Will abide?'
Within the law" said Lancelot, with a
sly dig in the ribs of the knight; albeit
it is a saying that you mllionaires make
the laws 10 suit yourselves.
Sir Martimor gave no heed to this airy
persiflage.
Then choose the Mill" said Sir Mar
timor. for here viii 1 dwell
Freely spoken laughed Lancelot- so
art thou Sir Martimor of the MILL No
doubt the King viii confirm it. The Sen
ate will, anyhow. And now, what sayest
thou of the ladies?'
May a knight have his free will and
choice here alsO?' inquired Sir Marti-
NOR. with modesty that had not been
annihilated by his new condition.
Sir Lancelot roared nightly at this.
and was night to bursting his doublet
with laughter.
IL 10. h coiG a
titled millionaire and ask a question like
that? Evidently you don't know the la
dies
This badinage was not pleasing to Sir
Martimor, but he gave it little heed.
Well he said, taking Lirette by the
hand, this maid is to me liefer TO have
and to hold as my wife than any dame or
princess that is christened.
What. brother" cried Sir Lancelot, is
the wind in that quarter? And will the
mmaid have thee. title and ALP
Il will WELL said Lirette with prompt
ness and despatch. making a grab for the
knight and smiling coyly the whites.
Now, art thou well provided" said Sir
Lancelot, with knighthOod and a castle
and a lady, and a barrel of money for
expenses. Lacks but motto and a name

He that names It will never find it, 7"
said Sir Martimor, naively, for Lirette
put the grist of widowed wheat in with
the good and we got the market price for
the whole lot"
So Lirette rejoiced Sir Martimor and
they loved during their life days. And
this is the end and the beginning of the
