THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
Advent of Longer Evenings Makes Pos
sible Larger Attendance.

Advent of Longer Evenings Makes Pos
sible Larger Attendance.
With the advent of longer evenings,
and consequently more time away
from the exacting ties of business,
greater interest is being taken in the
workings, aims and purposes of the
Athena Commercial Association.
No like organization, size of town
considered, has any more comfortable
or convenient quarters than has the
Athena Commercial Association.
The regular meeting nights come on
the first and third Tuesdays in'each
month, and from now on rousing
attendance may be expected. The
association was Instrumental in max
ing pleasant the recent visit of the
Portland business men to Athena. The
hospitality of the city and the good
will of the entire populace was ex
tended the Portlanders through the
Association in manner that at once
demonstrated the usefulness of an
organization of this character. an
organization which every western
town of any presence or consequence
whatever, creditably and suitably sup
ports. With more interest and better
attendance, indications point to much
good being done for Athena g progress.

LOWELL AND GEER.

Portland Paper Says Two Leading
Candidates for Senate.
That former Governor I. 4. Geer
will be a candidate for United States
senator on the republican primary
ticket next April is now said by those
who are close to him to be practically
assured, says the Telegram. For
several months the belief has been ap-
parent that he would appear as an
aspirant for the seat of John H.
Mitchell, but now there seems good
grounds foI the assertion that he will
come out with a positive declaration
of his intentions in this connection in
the course of time.
Mr.. Geer went before the people in
a like capacity once before. This
was in 1902. He was the choice of
the people that time. He will prob
ably not be next spring. some politi-
clans say.
Indications are that there will be
others looking for the peoples con
fidence in the senatorial regard.
Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendle-
ton is likely to be a candidate.

WHEAT IN A FURRY.

Indications Are That Price of Year ago
Is To Be Exceeded,
Last year in Chicago was a memor
able period in the memory Of wheat
traders, but if the indications of yes
terday count for anything, history
will repeat itself and then go the pace
of last year one better Tho present
furry in the wheat pit is due to var
ious causes, the principal of these be-
ing the internal troubles in the Rus
sian Empire stopping all grain ship
ments from that country for the sea-
son, for if the tie-up lasts but short
time it will be of sufficient duration
to keep supplies from being exported.
After that tho elements will do the
rest. Winter is fast getting Its clutch
on the Russian ports and they will
soon be icebound. This will stop ship
ments.
Yesterdays wheat market in Chi
cago was sensational in the extreme.
The bulls were helped in their work by
the sensational advances in Liverpool,
the December option there showing
rise Of I'd while the March option
closed Id higher. In the Chicago pit
the close showed rise Of n cents iii
the December option. The most
strength was in the late options the rise
In the May amounting to 25S cents
and on the July 5s ceus. Milwaukee
showed the same gain in both options.
Armour seems to have been the prin-
cipal operator in the market and his
aids have been persistent buyers of the
wheat on all signs of a break in price.
Local Wheat Market.
Wheat is quoted today by Athena
buyers at GA cents.

PEELED to pay regular government liq-
nor tax Of $25 annually on the sale Of
vanilla and lemon extracts. The
general principal will probably be
laid down that dealer selling any
liquid containing alcohol in sufficient
quantity to make possible its use as
beverage, will be subject to the tax.
Any medicine of which alcohol is a
component part, but which can be
used only as a medicine, will be ex-
empt. Just what medicines and drugs
will be excluded in the taxable list
is not yet known, though an analysis
Is now being made of all the various
compounds.
1t is stated that the percentage of
alcohol in vanilla and lemon extracts
is large and that these extracts are
sold largely to Indians, who buy them
for the use as alcoholic beverages.

FOR SCHOOL FUNDS.
Governor Chamberlain Decides to Set
Aside Forest Reservation.

Aside Forest Reservation.
Having finally made up his mind as
to his course of action in his proposed
establishment of a state forest reserve
for the benefit of the school fund
Governor Chamberlain has decided to
issue call for offers as to informa-
tion as to the location of available
government tracts of forest land rang
ing from 1000 to 10000 in acreage in
a body which he can procure for the
substitution of state base, of which
latter the state has between 10000
aud 10000 acres available.
Although no fund is at hand which
can be drawn upon by the governor
to pay for the location of these lands
at stipulated price per acre, by
timber locators, the governor will
invite tenders of land with the under
standing that the locator will take his
chances of awaiting the favorable ac-
tion of the legislature in making an
appropriation directly covering the
expense. 1t is not known what prices
will be asked by the locators of this
timber land for the state, but it is
thought that 25 to so cents per acre
will be fair price. The state land
agent, assisted by reliable timber
cruiser, will investigate the status of
all lands offered and certify as to
their availability for location.
The governor proposes to take up
an equal amount of government land
to the states available base and set it
aside as reserve fund until it in
creases IN value to such an extent that
it will increase the school fund,
materially when sold eventually.

FaVOrS " ore German.

State uperintendent G. P Cary has
just issued the report of a committee
Of nine, of which Professor A r. Hohl.
field of the University Of Wisconsin
was chairman. that was made at the
recent meeting Of the Wisconsin
Teachers Associat on. The report
considers the advisab lily and feasibil-
itY of extending the high school course
in German. The conclusions Of this
committee are: First, that the dis
ciplinary value of d foreign language
iustifes its Introduction into the upper
grade of the grammar schools. and that
it be recommended. therefore that a
foreign language. preferably modern
one, be introduced into the upper two
ditional study, but by a enlargement
of the subjects now constituting the
elemertry and high school courses, and
if necessary by the elimination of some
subject such as arithmetic, geography,
and technical grammar; second, that
those high schools now offering but
one foreign language for less than four
years, extend the course in that Ian
guage to a full four year course before
offering a second foreign language.
The purpose of publishing the report
is to bring the subject before the
teachers Of the state, in order that it
may be fully discussed before the next
meeting of the Wisconsin Teachers
Association, when doubtless some ac-
ton will be taken in regard to these
recommendations.

just been turned over to the company,
both to be used betweenMilwaukee and
Minneapolis, and are now in use They
replace the "Ewayea" and the ''Napa-

not quite up to the high standard
which the road has set for it's crack
train. A feature Of the new equip
ment will be sthe composition cars
which will soon be placed on the rear
of each of the trains. They have large
observation ends side corridor and
compartments for smoking room, buf-
fet, and cafe. and ladies' parlor The
ladies' parlor will be at the obser-
walton end of the car, at the opposite
end from the smoking compartment.
All the new cars are to be in service
by early summer, when it is expected
that the train will be run in two sec
tiOns, as its business has been growing
so heavy that it is almost impossible
to keep the train intact and maintain
the schedule. From ten to fourteen
cars are now taken out nightly.
