Superior, Wis. Nov. 19.-Irvine L. Lenroot of
this city, La Follette's lieutenant, will prob
ably be reelected speaker Of the Wisconsin state
assembly. The La Toilette forces will control
the assembly and LenroOt is their choice.
There has been some talk of Lenroot for
Quarles' place in the United States senate. One
thing is expected of Lenroot, however. That is
if he is elected to the speakership and is given
no other political honors, that he will be can
didate for congress against John J. jenkins two
years hence. jenkins is a Chippewa Falls man
who has served this district since 1894, when
he was first nominated owing to the inability Of
Superior republicans to unite on candidate from
their home town. Whether Lenrcot will be able
to the support of Superior republicans
without division is still question, but 1t Is
thought that under the primary election sys-
tenn he would have the support of: the La Fol-
lette men thruout the district. .5$ e
Under that system it is believed the speaker
would land the nomination, as the geographical
conditions would not cut much figure they
, would were he to against the Chippewa coun-
ty under a system where the counties
| are represented in convention. .

election this year. He said in public speech
that he informed in Milwaukee that $4,000
had been sent here to be used to defeat him on

LOW GRADE STOCK
IN GREAT DEMAND.
BUYERS PICK UP THAT TO BE

Prices Are stiffening Somewhat and
Conditions Are Everywhere Chang
ing for the Better from the Lumber
Producers Standpoint Stocks on
Duluth Docks Show Falling OFF.

Duluth. Mimi, Nov IA large part Of the
tion the coming year has been sold already, and
buyers are after more. This is very early for
such sales and Is good indication Of the con-
dition that is likely to exist in the latter part
of the season and next year. High grades have
not been selling to such an extent, tho some
manufacturers say the proportion placed Is fully
20 per cent of the expected cut. There is an
advance in the price Of all lumber on the mar
ket and conditions are changing for the better.
Brooks-Scanlon company has sold world Of
low grade for the coming years delivery, the
Fall Lake Lumber company has closed out most
Of what it expects to cut along that line. Alger,
theirs, to be quoted at prices prevailing later,
and others at the head Of the lake have done
the same This is an important fact as regards
the market for the season of 1906
Light Cut Next Summer.
1t does not look, as tho head Of the lake
lumbermen would enter the woods for any
more stock. than they. had figured upon some
time ago. Alger, Smith & Co. will make full
cut, as will the Redcliff Lumber company and
the Split Rock people. The Murray Mccain mill
will be saving for the Hines Lumber company;
other mills will be more or less dependant on
what comes along In the way of jobs, tho sew
eral of them have gone into the woods for at
least a partial cut. All this means light cut
next summer. -s - Etz s.-,'..s. ,
Duluth docks will close the season of naviga-
tion with a smaller stock of lumber on hand,
either of sold or unsold, than for some years,
and there will be no great increase by. winter
saving. There will be no such number of mills
to work this winter as last year, and that sea-
son was under the previous one.
AS to stocks of unsold lumber here, it Is safe
to say there are not more than 20 600, 900 feet
on hand, and this is exceptionally low. Then it
is not probable that there will be more than
double that amount of sold and unsold for the
beginning of winter, not including such mill
stocks as those of plants that do rail trade
as we'll as cargo business This does not look
like a surplus of stock in this market for the
coming year. When to this is added the stu
alton at Ashland, it is still more convincing.

Answers by Teachers.

The town of Lansford is greatly ag-
Hated by the charge made at a meet
ing of the school board that certain
of it's teachers do not know who wrote
the Declaration of Independence or
who the participants were in the Rev
dictionary War, says a Tamaqua
CPa) Dispatch in the Philadelphia
Record.
Several of the teachers, failing to
get a high average at the annual ex-
animation, charge Prof. A. j. Killian,
the principal, with being unfair in
computing the averages. In refutation
of the charge Prof. Killian read the
answers some OF the teachers made
to questions propounded during the
examination. Some of the answers
were as follows:
A writ of habeas corpus is a law
which was passed in Congress.
Cyrus w. Fields was noted for MAX
ing peace.
The causes of the Revolutionary
War We're the fight between the Con-
federates and the Federals, who
fought at Bunker Hill and Lexington.
Henry Clay was the Trainer of the
Declaration of independence. He also
signed it.
Letters of marque and reprisal are
letters issued to sailors for bravery.
Reflex action is when a person is
dead and his muscles move.
The nerve of sight Is the ocular
nerve. The ear drum is the nerve of
hearing.
The Uranium is one of the bones of
the skull. The ball and socket is a
bone of the lower limbs.

WILL PROF. COOK GET THE RE
WARnR

WAHDf
If the Guatemalan ant should prove
to be the destroyer of the boil weevil
that is wanted in Texas would Prof.
O. F. Cook of the Bureau of Entomol-
Ogy. Department of Agriculture. get
the reward that has been offered for
a means Of clearing the cotton fields
of that state of the pest? 1t would
seem as if he ought to.
Prof. Cook didn't go to Guatemala
for the purpose of getting the ant.
tiOn with another mission when the
thought of this ant came into his mind
in connection with something he had
been reading about the boil weevil
in Texas. He had been in Guatemala
several times, and had incidentally
bbEerved the fact that there were
weevils in the cotton fields there, but
that they didn't seem to be numer-
GUS enough to do any injury to the
cotton. On reaching Guatemala he at
once began his inquiries concerning
the ant. and got all the facts
he could about it from the
native farmers. He found these
farmers were very unobservant,
but they had noticed that their cot
ton was not injured to any extent by
the boil weevil, and were aware of
the fact that the ant was a bitter
enemy of the weevil.
Prof Cook satisfied himself that the
ant protected the cotton fields in
Guatemala against the weevil, and he
at once communicated his discovery
to the Department of Agriculture. He
was instructed to collect as many of
the ants as he conveniently could, and
to forward them to Texas, and not
to spare any expense. 1t will be re-
called that Congress, at it's last ses-
sion, appropriated $25O,OOO for the pur-
pose of finding a remedy for the boil
weevil evil.
OF course there are many things to
be determined before it can be said
whether or not the ant will prove to
be the salvation of the cotton fields
of Texas. 1t has been satisfactorily
determined that the ant will kill the
weevil wherever the weevil is found,
but it is not yet determined that the
ant will thrive in the climate of
Texas. 1t may not multiply rapidly
there, and it may not be able to stand
the winters-the northers that some
times sweep over even the southern
counties of the state.
A question was raised recently as
to whether the ants would attack hu-
man beings, and whether or not their
bite was poisonous. Prof. Cook says
that he has handled the ants under
about all possible conditions, and that
he has never yet been bitten. He is
of the opinion that their bite is HARM
less. They do not kill the weevil by
injecting poison into it's system, but
by crushing it's head with their pow
erful jaws.
The ant is an enemy. to about all
kinds of harmful insects, but it
doesn't injure cotton in any way. If
therefore it thrives in this climate
there will be good reasons for think
ing the apprehensions caused by the
ravages of the boil weevil will grad
ually disappear

PEONAGE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

From the fact that the government
is showing such activity in hunting
up peonage cases in this country 1t
might be supposed that it would take
steps to put an end to peonage in
the Philippines, but if 1t is doing any
thing of the kind the fact doesn't APP
pear in the dispatches. 1t is stated
on the very best authority that at
least a third of the, hands on the plan
tations in the island of Luzon are
poems. All they receive for their la
Dor is their food and clothes and a
little spending money on feast days.
The understanding is they are work.
ing out debts owed by some of their
ancestors. Neither the masters nor
the poems know which of the ancestors
were the debtors and neither seem to
care.
AS rule the poems are satisfied with
their condition and don't want it
changed. Now and then one of them
appears before the authorities and
complains that he has been beaten or
otherwise mistreated, but even in such
cases there is no apparent desire to
leave the plantations on which they
and their ancestors were born. They
are far more contented. and, hence,
happier than If they were required to
look out for themselves. Still, they
are poems, and it is somewhat remark
able that the United States authori-
ties do not set about severing the re-
lations existing between them and their
masters. The task might be a difficult
one, since the poems are satisfied with
| their condition, satisfied to be sold
along with the plantations on which
they live. but their condition, intel.
lectually and morally, will never be
any better If the peonage system is
continued.

How much do you want to pay for a

How much?" asked the stranger.
