City Clerk Workman has found
that the rate of taxation for Bara-
boo to be paid next month is
.0184032 or about one cent and
eight mills on each dollar of taxa
BILE property. Last year the rate
was .019285 which is some higher
than the coming tax to be paid.

be of interest:

STILL coUNTYJUDcE.
Effort to Gust Maustonian
From Office Fails.

County Judge Bunnell of Juneau
county still holds Office notwith-
standing the effort of Atty. J. T.
Dithmar of Elroy to have him Gus t d.
The matter came before Judge
Fruit at Mauston last week, three
days being given to the trial. The
decision was rendered Saturday.
Daniel H. Grady was attorney for
Judge Bunnell. Mr.. Dithmar was
represented in court by Barney &
Price and Veeder & Veeder of
Mauston.
Mr.. Dithmar was appointed by
Gov. LaFollette to fill the unexpired
term when County Judge Beebe
was drowned. At last springs
election he was candidate for the
county judgeship, but on the face
of the returns Mr.. Bunnell was
elected. Mr.. Dithmar refused to
turn the Office to Mr.. Bunnell and
contested the election on the ground
that his (Dithmar's) appointment
was extended to Jan. l by a law
passed by the legislature subsequent
to the spring election. Judge
Bunnell got possession of the Office
only after Mr.. Dithmar went to
Europe last summer for a visit,
it being turned over to him then by
the register in probate.
Besides citing the new statute,
Chapter 81, laws of 1905, Mr..
Dithmar based his case in court
against Judge Bunnell on alleged
forgery of nomination papers and
alleged bribery of voters by circu-
lation of a letter in which Judge
Bunnell, it was charged, made an
illegal bid for votes by promising to
discharge more than his prescribed
official duties if elected. Judge
Fruit held there was no forgery
and no bribery and that chapter
81 is unconstitutional

AT LAST
Baraboo Is to Have an Opera
House.
(From Friday 9 Daily.)

The old Catholic church is being
remodeled into an opera house, and
will be made first class in every re.
spect so far as its capacities will
allow. Workmen are now busy un-
der the direction of J. p. Hughes
of Chicago, building the stage.
With the floor and gallery, it is
expected that about 500 people may
be seated. Electric lights will be
placed throughout and drop light
effect will be arranged for the stage.
A beautiful curtain is being pre-
pared, and the building will be fur
mace heated.
1t is expected to have everything
in readiness in about three weeks,
when the opening performance will
be given, consisting of acts by
members of Ringling Bros. show
and by performers of note from
Chicago and Milwaukee. After the
holidays regular travelling COM
panies will be billed. Of course
none except moral performances
will be permitted.
The house will be under the gen.
eral direction of Rev. FIR. Durward,
and Mr.. Hughes, who has had wide
experience, will be stage manager
and bill poster.
Since the destruction of The
Grande by fire last winter, Baraboo
has been sadly in need of a play
house, and this will do very nicely
until such a time as a fine one may
be built.

ONE DAYS WORK ENOUGH
Minnesota Man Is Disguised With the
Panama Canal Project

BRAINERD, Mimi, April w. r.
Clark of this city, some time ago pass
ed the examination for position as
steam shovel man under the Panama
canal commission, and was detailed to
report for duty.
Mr.. Clark has returned thoroughly
disguised. He was assigned to work
erecting shovels in the big cut at Gull
ebra, Is miles from Panama. Although
his position commanded a salary the
same as a major in the United States
it after one days work, and started for
home. The quarters for the men, he
says, are mere shanties about 12x3O,
cheaply built and expected to provide
for four. the only furniture is a can
vas cot for each man. These shacks
are the only available places, as the
hotel accommodations are very poor.
The diet which the men are expect
ed to subsist on, according to Mr..
5 o'clock in the morning they were
given roll and a cup of black, native
coffee, and this was all they had until
noon. At noon they ate a fairly good
breakfast and were served their din
ner at o'clock in the evening. He re-
monstrated against the light breakfast
but was told when he had been there
three months he would loose his ap-
petite for breakfasts, the same as the
others had done.
Mr.. Clark had not been there but
few days when ne felt the fever coming
on, and he went to see the government
physician. He laid for three days be-
fore a doctor arrived.
Mr.. Clark says that the prospects for
men who go there, unless they nave
papers from the commission, are very
discouraging. They get the same pay
as the Jamaica negro, 60 cents silver,
equal to 80 cents American money,
and board. There are many of these
negroes there, and they are of average
intelligence, superior in many respects
to the average white Spaniard who
works beside them. Nearly all the
machinists are negroes and they get
about As cents silver an hour. The men
who go down under appointments get
better wages, but the conditions are
not such as to induce anyone to stay
if he has the price to get out. At least
half the Americans ne spoke to regret
ted they had gone there.
The climate is almost uncomfortable,
according to Mr.. Clark, especially to
man who has lived in the far north.
In the daytime there is extreme heat,
and at night it is SO damp that it
seems like rain. Mr.. Clark is a well
known resident here.

A Similar Sentence.

Judge William L. Putnam, of Port
land, Me-, said recently, anent an I'M
just punishment:
This case brings to my mind a
quaint old story that 1 came upon the
other day in history of the kings of
France.
There was a certain rich man who
said an unkind and uncnivalrous thing
about poor mans daughter. The
poor man waited on the rich man and
took MIN to task, whereupon the latter
overcome with rage, seized a heavy
club, and at one stroke put the poor
man to death.
tried. His wealth-this happened, you
must remember, centuries ago-worked
in his favor, and the sentence impos-
ed upon him was that he must not sell
fruit in his shop for the space of three
years. Had he been a fruiterer, in
this punishment there would have been
some hardship. But he was not a fruit
erer at all. He was a baker.
THE murdered poor man had a son,
young soldier in the kings army.
When the soldier heard of mis- fathers
killing and of the ridiculous sentence
given his slayer, he fastened home,
mad with rage. He went straight to
the rich mans house, babe him defend
brief struggle avenged his fathers
death with the death of the rich baker.
Now, there was a great TODD. The
youth was thrown into a black, cold
dungeon. 1t would have gone hard
with him had he not contrived, some
how or the other, to lodge an appeal
to the king.
1.-The king investigated, and then
summoned the king and his accusers.
He heard the whole story from the
rich bakers insult at the beginning, to
the rich bakers death at the end.
- L underStanu, the KING SAID Hlldl-
Iy, that the baker killed this young
soldiers father. What punishment
was melted out to him for that crime?"
HE was condemned, SIR said
witness, to refrain from fruit selling
for three years.
"'Well, them said the king, since
this young soldier of mine has killed
the baker, 1 condemn him to for three
years not to cobble Shoes.

ARE NOW IN THE JOHN DAY
COUNTRY MAKING PRELIM-
MARY SURVEYS
Government Experts Are of Opinion
the Irrigation Scheme as Planned
Is Feasible
Is Feasible

A party of government engineers
under the supervision of N. Roy Sax
ton left Pendleton yesterday for the
John Day country where preliminary
work will be engaged in during the
summer. The engineers will conduct
their work at the direction of John T.
lamation service in Oregon. Other
members of the party besides Mr.. Sax
ton are r. Doyle, 1. Taylor and D. Play.
e. 1. Davis, who is stationed in the
office at Pendleton with Mr.. Whistler,
will leave in a short time to join the
party.
The nature of the work will be the
locating of reservoir sites, establishing
surveys, measuring the flow of the
John Day river, and the securing OF
data relative to the topography and
physical features of the locality. This
is really the preliminary work on the
immense irrigation project which the
government recently announced it
would take up during the year. Both
Mr.. Whistler and Thomas H. Means,
engineer of soils in the reclamation
SERVE, have been over the grounds
and have made investigations in a
general way and both are convinced
of the feasibility of the project.
