The Evolution Of Northern Wis
cOnSin

CUuSlu
To the one who has given the
slightest attention the evolution, as
it may De called, of Northern Wis
consin has oeen little less than mar
velous. In fact no section Of the.
country has made such prodigous
strides in it's development as has
that territory in the northern part
of the state lying between q line
draw across the map at about the
latitude of Eau Claire and extend
ing to Lake Superior.
Less than twenty-five years ago
all the territory referred TO was prac-
tically wilderness. There were no
railroads, no thriving and prosp per-
Gus cities, no farms and practically
no population. The great lumber
compsnies operating at Eau Claire
and other southern points 'stoted"
supplies to their camps in the north
ern woods by team, their armies of
lumber jacks tramped the trail
from Hudson, to Chippewa Falls
and Stevens Point to the camps up
in the woods, and the product of
their labor, the virgin pine with
which the country was then replete,
was in the spring driven down the
swollen waters of the st. Croix, the
Chippewa and the Wisconsin rivers
with their numerous tributaries.
North of Chippewa Falls in the west
ern part of the state there was
scarcely saw, mill in operation and
of all the various kinds of timber
growing in profusion only the pine
was considered worth handling.
Then came the railroads and the
energetic pioneer and the few years
following have witnessed wonder
full transformation. The building
of the North Wisconsin division OF
the Omaha line from Hudson to Bay
field, the Wisconsin Cen trail from
Stevens Point to Ashland and the
$500" line transverse Mig across the
state stimulated the lumber indus try
in this section, giving it mere local
! tone. and attracted the attention of
business men and home builders un-
til what was once wilderness be-
came very center of industrial
activity. And then, with the pass
ing OF the lumber opera tor came the
farmer until now there is scarcely
a township in the entire territory
that has not it's prosperous farms
and valuable herds of growing stock

peddIeps do not need Licenses

The Supreme Court of the state
has has issued a startling decision,
holding in the case of the state
against Whitcomb, an agent OF the
Grand Union Tea Company, that
the defendant was not compelled to
have a license to peddle in Wiscon
sin. Chapter 81 of the laws of 1901,
providing for licensing Of peddlers,
except in certain classes, is held to
De unconstitutional, The court
holds that the law violates the
constitution Of the state of Wiscon-
sin and of the United States, mas
much as it is class legislation.
Peddlers who have been paying
licenses for several years cannot re-
cover from the state treasury unless
shey have made payment of license
fees under protest.
The case of the state of Wisconsin
against +. A. Dyer. agent Tor the
Grand Union Tea Company, which
was tried in Washburn last winter,
was also appealed from the lower
court. Upon the decision having
been made by the supreme court in
she Whitcomb case, the Dyer case
was taken up here last week.. AID
the judgment was vacated by
stipulation.
B. F. Runkle is the local treasury
agent charged with carrying out the
enforcement of the peddler license.
The above decision practic ally
annuls all powers of the treasury
agents and is a big victory for the
peddlers of the state. who have beer
obliged to put up thirty dollars g
year to travel on foot with their
goods and wares.

The Siege of Port Arthur

The earlier reports of the battle oil
Kin-chau and the storming of the
6efenses of Port Arthur were to the
effect that the Japanese had sustain
ed the appalling loss OF $4,000 men
killed. The Russian loss was not
known, but was supposed to be
nearly as heavy.
The totals are still large, but it
appears THAI the Japanese loss is
only about one fourth that origin
ally reported, 5000 killed and
wounded, while the Russians left
400 dead on the field. The Russian
losses are doubtless not so heavy as
fhosc of the Japanese because they
were fighting behind trenches. while
she Japanese were the assaulting
party.
The loss is heavy enough, however
20 suggest the desperate nature of
the contest and establish the repu-
tation of the Japanese soldier for
eoolness and courage. under fire. In
fact, the superiority of the japanese
over the Russian soldier is we'll
demonstrated. He not only over
matches the Russian in courage but
he fights with greater intelligence,
greater en- thusiasm, and with
reckless disregard of the value of his
own life which makes him a most
dangerous enemy. His leaders
display wonderful skill and strategy
in handling their troops and in
making them accomplish the largest
possible results Men are economic
ed because that is prudent and
makes for success rather than
because human life has to be sacri-
feed to accomplish an end, there is
NO hestiancy on the part of either
she commanders or the soldiers.
The Japanese appear to be paying
a tremendous price for Port Arthur
and yet it is undoubtedly of the
highest Importance that they shall
occupy it, not so much perhaps be-
cause of any purpose the fortifica-
lions of the port themselves might
serve as on account of the navy

these ships have been captured or

zion of the Baltic fleet with the
