A PROGRESSIVE NEIGHBO RH0OD
Recent Settlers South of Bruce Make
Improvements.

Recent Settlers south OF Bruce MAKE
Improvements.
There is a bunch of new settlers five
miles south of Bruce who are opening
up the country in good shape.
r. J. Galley bought 100 acres in that
section last fall and built a fine resi-
dence 26x32, two stories, and other
buildings. He came with his family in
the spring and with two boys went at
work. Between ten and twelve acres
of clear land is the result, and Mr.. Galley
says that next year will increase it to
forty acres.
K. Zillhart in the same neighborhood
bought 1874 acres and built a house of
good proportions, barn, etc., and will
soon come and occupy it.
E. Madole bought 160 acres with
buildings already erected-one of the
Austin Land company's, 28z28 and will
come soon to be ready for spring work.

After the Ladysn1ith public had set
tied itself down to the apparently in
evitable wait till another season for
the coming Of trains over the Owen &
Northern road, the announcement
comes that the road is to be completed
this season perhaps not in this cal
endar year, but the work is to con-
tinue without halt or hesitation until
it is completed sufficiently to permit
the running of trains.
AS heretofore stated in the News,
rails have been laid from Owen to the
Black river, distance Of about eight
miles.
The grading is nearly completed and
an order has been issued permitting
the narrowing of the balance of the
grading to the limit that will allow the
passage of trains, when the rails will
be laid and the work continued with
steam shovels and work trains. This
order to push things to a completion
is believed to have come as the result
of the reported capture of the Wiscon-
sin Central by J. ]. Hill of the Great
Northern. 1t is also reported that
Hill demands the completion of the
Superior & Southeastern before the
closing of lake navigation next year,
Carloads of dynamite arriving at
Owen emphasizes the proposition that
we are to hear Owen & Northern
whistles long ere the robins come
again.
MIR. Rudolph, of Stone & Rudolph,
the bridge builders, says that his com
pany has it's work so we'll in hand that
they will not delay the commencement
of train service. His understanding
of the situation and the new order of
things confirms the facts as stated
above.
All Ladysmith people will be pleased
with the promise of prompt railway
connections with the south and will
await with as much patience as they
can muster the fulfllment of that
promise.
While it seems a long time since
the road first became fixed in the ex-
pectation of Ladysmith people, the
fact remains that considering the de-
termination to make this line model
one, the immense amount of time
spent on the survey to accomplish that
aim and the bad weather of the sum-
mer, there is no room for proper crit
icism for delay. Doubtless everyone
has done his best, and if any haven't
they will be excused if the road is de-
livered this winter. The new line will
be of incalculable value to Ladysmith.
Not only will it be a convenience, it

We Should Have Building Assocla-
ton in This


That Ladysmith needs building and
loan association is a fact that ought TO
be conceded without arg Iment or hes
itation. The excessive rentals that
have prevailed are an injury to the
town. The time has arrived and-long
ago-when there sho I'D be a change.
Our people should get together on TINS
proposition and do so now. They are
not the best institutions in the world as
generally managed-but something IKE
boils-a necessity to the system.
A business man remarked to the News
the other day that his profits all went
into rents. He is paying S25 When slz
would be a handsome return on the IN
vestment. Of course such IDEAS are
published exclusively in the News.
But we need lower rents something
like what prevails in other places, ana
if the only way to get it is through the
cumbersome and expensive building and
loan system, let's have that. Let
have it now.

BUILDING AND LOAN CONTEST is PROBABLE
It Is Rumored That the Light Deal
Is Not Over the Rocky
Roads Yet.

The announcement that the Ladysmith
Light and Power plant is to be sold
December 7th, is reported to have
awakened some interested parties to
the necessity of taking some early ac-
tion in the matter.
Whether or not contest will be made,
is not, the News is informed, fully de-
termined, but probable.
The manner in which McGill, assisted
by Newman and Bischel, has closed
settlements with creditors has not
pleased many parties. There are many
who believe that the water power fran
chise-t that McGill threw away as far
as the light corporation is concerned
is worth more than the entire indebted
ness of the corporation, and in the light
of this opinion, the persistency of the
McGill trio in their efforts to settle at
30 cents on the dollar are rather iritat-
ing.
One of the stock holders asserts that
the company had an offer for this fran
chise (before McGill threw it away of
cash consideration and an agreement
to furnish perpetually 200 horse power
of electric current at $18 per horse
power per year. This contract is deem
ed to be worth several times more than
the entire liabilities of the light con-
Germ. And this stockholder asserts
that an officer Of the light corporation
told him that the Menasha company's
offer was a better one. But unless a
successful contest is waged, all this is
given away for the bagatelle of 500
flashes of filthy lucre" which, accord
ing to McGill's sworn testimony was
divided by him and Newman.
Report credits the contestants with
two propositions-either setting aside
Of the transfer of the water power on
the ground that it was not made until
after the concern became insolvent, Or
what in result would amount to the
same thing, an attack upon the legality
Of the corporation to secure it's dissolu-
ton and reverSion of assets.
Whatever the result of the scrimnage
the people of Ladysmith are interested
in the future of her public lighting sys-

that the yield was small and also that
