At the close of 1908 the Grand

At the close of 1903 the Grand
Duchy of Baden owned and operated
about 1885 miles of railway, which
included all the important lines in
the province. Of these railways ooS
miles were main and branch lines,
while I27 miles were short local lines,
generally of narrow gauge and cheap
construction. These several roads
had 332 stations for passengers alone,
making a total of 436 stations, OF one
station for each 2.37 miles.

William Gouge,-No Blame Is Attached
to Gouge, Who Is Careful and
Experienced Hunter,

L. 5. Ward, of Iron River, was &C
cidentally shot and killed while hunt.
Ing deer last Saturday afternoon
1t appears he and man named
William Gougs were in the woods to-
pether, and that Gouge accidentally
killed Ward. The bullet from
Gouge's rifle hit Ward in the alb
domen, and he dropped, exclaiming:
"Oh my God. I am killed. The
ood.y was taken to Iron River, where
the funeral took place. Ward leaves
"a wife and daughter to mourn his
tragic death. From all accounts OF
the accident there is no blame at

hunter and trapper, and the manner
in which the accident occurred being
such as might happen to any hunter
in the woods, no matter how careful.

John A. Jacobs on Business Trip
to the Emerald Isle.
BUYS THE CARMICHAEL ESTATE.
A Company Composed Of John A. Jacobs,
w, G. Maxcy and D. M. Maxcy Files
Affidavit That They Have Pur-
chased Estate From Heir.

There was flied in the Office OF
the register of deeds yesterday
the affidavit of D. M. Maxcy,
which is a notice to all parties
interested, that the estate OF
Thomas Carmichael, deceased,
had been purchased from the
heir, who is a sister in Dublin,
Ireland. Similar notices have
been filed in Sawyer, Eau Claire,
Douglas, Price and other coun-
ties. At Eau Claire yesterday
Attorney A. w. Mcleod ap-
peared before the county court
and gave notice in the matter of
the administration that the
above parties had purchased the
estate.
John A. Jacobs left here about
three weeks ago, and it was an
nounced that he had gone on a
trip to the coast. Instead of
being the western coast, as was
generally supposed, it appears
that he sailed from New York on
an ocean steamship and has been
in Dublin, Ireland, for several
days. His mission was to pur-
chase from the sister Of the late
Thomas Carmichael the estate of
which she was the heir. That he
has succeeded in his mission was
known here several days ago 10
the parties interested by the re-
ceiptof a cablegram saying the
deal vas closed. The formal
notices preliminary to taking
charge of the property were i'm
mediately drawn, and the affida.
Wit filed with register of deeds
Myhre yesterday is but part of
what is being done. Thomas
Car michael died about two years
ago, possessed of a large estate.
His only heir was a sister in Dub
lin. Ireland. The estate was
probated in Eau Claire county,
and A. E. Elliason was named as
administrator. Mr.. Jacobs, who
was perhaps closer to Thomas
Carmichael than any living man,
became very much interested in
the affairs connected with the
disposition of the property, and
before he left for Ireland ar.
ranged for the formation of a
company which would protect
the rights of the heir. The re-
suit of his trip across the ocean
will be that the old lady in Ire
land will receive practically what
the estate is worth and that it

+. GOtO, Commissioner OF Forestry
for Japan, Visits Here.
HE INVESTIGATES NUMBERING.
Mikado Representative Wants to Learn All
About Logging and LAUNDERING and Is
Given Warm Reception by the
Hines Lumber Company.

f. Goto, com missioner for the
Bureau of Forestry, department
of Agricultural and Commerce,
for his Imperial Majesty the
Mikado of Japan, visited Wash,
burn and vicinity Friday and
Saturday of last week. Goto is
in the United States on great
mission for his government, and
holds credentials signed by the
head Of the Japanese govern
ment. He came here from Chi
cago, where he has been inspect,
ing the yards of the Edward
Hines Lumber Company, the
greatest lumber yards in the
world. He had a letter from
Edward Hines to Manager o. L.
Boynton, Of this city, directing
that everything possible in the
way of information be furnished.
Mr.. Boynton took Mr.. Goto
through the big saw mill and
lumb Der yards, explained the
Office work, exhibited the forms
of the company for traDsacting
their business, and then spent a
day in the camps and woods.
Mr.. B. j. Hughes accom- panied
them in the trip to the woods,
and the two local lum bermen
took great pleasure in entertain
ing the little Jap. Mr.. BOynton
says there was nothing that
Goto didn It ask about. He even
cri 1icised some of the methods
in vogue, and warmly approved
other things. Tle logging pro-
cess interested him most, and
the lima engines used in haul
ing logs particularly pleased him
owing to the manner in which
they could climb grades. He
wanted to know what was kept
for sale in camp stores, asking
whether neckties and the like
were sold. Goto reads English
we'll, but some of our words
puzzled him considerable, and in
writing up his notes he used
both the English and Japanese
characters. He took four or
five dozen photographs and made
many excellent sketches of the
tools and machinery. The saw
mill niger also pleased him
wonderfully. Mr. Boynton says
the capacity Goto possesses for
grasping ideas is wonderful, and
everyone whom the Jap came in
contact with were greatly pleased
at the bright intellectually he
displayed. II any of them had
poor idea of the Japs they be
came convinced Of the remark
able intelligence displayed by
the visitor, and declared that if
he was a fair specimen of the
average Jap, that Russia had a
great enemyto cope with. Goto
was discreetly silent regarding
the war in the far east, remind
ing inquirers that he was an Of
ficer of the Japanese government
and was not allowed to talk. He
expects, however, to join the
army in May. He has been in
America since August and will
remain here until January, after
which he will return home.
From here he went to Duluth
and Cloquet to pursue his studies
of practical logging and lum Der
ing. The object of the investiga
tons of Com missioner Goto are
explained in a sixty-five page
book which he has issued, copy
of which he left with Mr.. Boyn
ton. Mr.. Goto explains that the
timbered regions Of Japan are
controlled by the government
Any cutting or other operation il
supervised by the department
with which he is connected. I

is somewhat surprising to learn
that fifty nine percent of the
country is wooded. Goto says:
''The forests of Japan, her
nantural ornament. which occupy
more than one-half the area of
the Island Empire, would appear
to have exerted an inspiring in
fuence upon the mind of her in
habitants, for their love of forest
and the luxuriant sylvan growth
is observed to be almost intuitive.
We are also inclined to think
that the Japanese may owe their
patriotism and aesthetic ser Sc
to the profoundly sympathetic
influence the forests seem to
have exercised upon them. They
are instinctiyely aware OF their
d lties, so to speak-t towards
the forests as is indicated by the
endeavors they never spare to
meet the ever increasing demand
for the produce of the forests, to
change them in accordance with
the new requirements and to
maintain their supplies perman-
emily.
"The forests of Japan had,
while the country was secluded,
maintained their primitive char
acter, but with the Restoration
the forests underwent a revolu-
ton in the extent and modes of
their utilization. Besides a con-
siderable increase at home in the
demand for timber and fuel, not
only in connection with indus
trial and mining enterprises and
for ordinary building purposes,
but also for use as railroad
sleepers and telegraph poles, as
we'll as for the manufacture of
the various wood. articles and
paper, the recent development in
the carrying trade has caused
the traders in forest produce to
seek customers abroad, espe cial-
ly in China aid Korea. All this
has in recent years exercised
an unequal influence on Japan
csc forests so that, while, on the
other hand, there ars districts
where reckless telling and all
the evils resulting from it have
obliged the government to exer-
else control as to cutting, on the
other hand there are in some
parts Of the country vast areas
of wooded land maintaining all
it's primitive features unal-
tered.
"This anomaly has brought to
light the fact that the plans
hitherto followed in the manage
mentot forests are no longer ade-
quate to meet the future increase
of hepopulation and the require
ments of the new civilization,
but points to the necessity fol-
striving to develop to the full the
natural capabilities of the forest
by increasing their productive
powers by the application Of

APPROPRIATIONS AND LEVIES.
These Important Matters Are Fixed uux.
And Applications for New Towns ara
Frouned Upon.-Many Incidental
Matters are Disposed Of

The county board of Super
vlSOrS has been in session since
Tuesday. The work has been
largely done through committees
and it is proposed to finish up all
the work Of the annual meeting
before adjournment. All tie
towns are represented and con-
siderable work is being accom-
plished. At the meeting Tues
day the proposition of Dr.. H. G..
Mertens to furnish medical and
surgical treatment and medicine.
to the prisoners of the county at
ten dollars per month was &C
cepted. An appropriation of $3.50
was voted in aid of the North Wis
consin Farmers Associa ton, and
it is understood the money will
be used in keeping the car
Grassland on the road for some
time to come. An adding ma
chine was purchased for use Ct
the treas urer and clerks Offices.
The proposition to set off the
town of Oulo, composed of gov
eminent township 1879, came up
at Tuesdays meeting. The
resolution lost on a tie vote, nine
members voting for and nine
against. There was an almost
unanimous disposition on the
part of the members to grant the
request of the petitioners, but
owing to the decision of Judge
Parish holding that other towns
set off in the same manner were
illegally created the board felt
that they might be exceeding
their powers if they allowed the
new town to come into eXlstance
without a vote OF tie people.
The town of Mckinley, wanted
by the residents in the western
part of the town of Washburn,
would also have been granted
but for the same reasons. The
reports of the clerk, treasurer
supervisor of assessors. county
superintendent and INDECENT
soldiers commission, were read
and accepted. Forty thousand
dollars was appropriated for
general expenses for the ensuing
year. AS the county is already
badly in the hole this amountwill
be insufficient to carry the coun-
ty through the year. The APP
preparations made were as fol-
lows:
