to twenty tons of beets can be raised
here TO the acre, and that the per-
centage OF saccha rine matter con-
tanned in the beets runs from II to
20 per cent.
1t seems to us that such condi-
tions as these should be worthy of
close consideration by the farmers
of this valley. Beet sugar compan-
les are looking for localities IN
which to locate factories, but, of
course, must have guarantee from
the communities in which they To-
cate, OF sufficient quantity OF beets
to run factory. There is no doubt
that it the people of this valley
would go into the business that beets
could be raised in this quantity, nor
would there be much doubt about
the establishment of a factory here
were the conditions known and the
guarantee to furnish it made.
What picture it would be to see
Mason Valley, stretch of fertile
territory thirty miles in length by
seven miles in width. cut up
into eighty-acre farms, comfortable
homes established on each little
farm, and a prosperous and happy
community established! Such a
condition is not without reason. We

| for the first part of the season from
natural sources, and there is not the
| least doubt that a small pumping
| plant, the cost of which would not
exceed $500 or $1,000, would furnish
all the water required for an So-acre
farm during the latter part OF the
season, or for the entire season for
that matter. Mason Valley is now
connected with the outside world
by a broad-gauge railroad, and II

philanthropic motive, but the bus
mess would he here, and that il
what induces railroads to enter new

happen to read this article, what it
would mean to have a thousand
prosperous homes in this valley,
and a population of 5000 or 1000

from the cutting up and selling OF
Such a condition, with the other in
dustries which would arise from
necessity, would make OF what is
now not much more than a barren
waste one Of the most thriving

With the possibilities before US,
the advance of all other sections of
lesser possibilities, does it not seem
that it is time for concerted ac-
tion to pull Mason Valley out of the
rut of the prospecting farmer? Is it
not time to organize promotion as

Look for Cary's Successor.

The coming election of superintend-
ent of public instruction has cast it's
shadow before, and political circles in
the city are talking of possibilities for
the place. L. D. Harvey, who formerly
occupied the Office for four years, has
positively refused to allow his name to
be considered in connection with the
place. 1t was generally supposed that
Harvey would be the man to oppose Su-
perintendent Cary, but his announce
ment puts an end to the search for man
in that direction. Prof. Jackson, of West
Superior having withdrawn, only Presi-
dent Albert Salisbury, of the Whitewa-
ter normal school, remaining TO contest
the Office. The election in April is the
first opportunity the voters of Wiscon-
sin will have to test the operation of the
new plan of electing the superintendent
of public instruction in the spring. The
selection of candidates will be upon
nomination papers, as the primary cleo
ton does not apply.

Ewes ON Governor,a Chair.

All eyes are now turned towards the
governorship chair, which will be va
cant March 4, when Robert La Toilette
takes the oath of United States senator,
thus giving up his gubernatorial toga.
Lieut. Gov. Davidson occupies the chair
during the governors preparations for
his entrance into the new office, and If
present indications point Alright, lively
squabble is likely to ensue over the sue
cession. Every attempt is made to con-
ceal the ambitions of aspirants to the
chair, but here and there little boom
ing and unusual activity tell of the aspir-
atoms of some possible candidate. From
now on the governor will devote his time
to the study of national politics, ever
mindful of the needs of his home state.
Lieut.. Gov. Davidson is endeayoring to
strengthen his hold on the first place by
careful attention to his duties in the eX-
ecutive offices.

of Senator Spooner, who sent a telegram
stating his regrets. The occasions were

Comply with Labor Law.

Social democrats have scored vic
tory in the legislature by the adoption
by both houses of their resolution to
comply with the child labor law in en-
ploying help in both branches. At first
the resolution was put on the shelf by
being Indefinitely postponed, but upon
another vote the measure was sent to
the special committee on rules favoring
the adjustment of child labor in the
legislature. Many of the messengers
and pages are under IA years of age, and
it was declared that, although the act of
employing them was in direct violation
of the child labor law, it was impossible
to amend the state laws by discharging
them. The committee reported favora-
bly, on the resolution, and the legislature
adhered to the law by adopting it and or
dering all employees under Ia years of

marked the close of new business in the
Wisconsin legislature, and from the vol
ume of bills which made their appear
ance, the period could be extended sew
eral weeks more and there would still be
enough introducing Of measures to keep
both houses busy. Early in the session
preparations were being made for the
senatorial contest, and in legislation
there was little doing. But with the
senatorial fight off their hands, the law
makers gradually began to recover from
the lethargy into which the body had
been plunged, and at the time of the
ending of new business bills were COM
ing so thick and fast that the clerks in
both branches were made hOarSe in read
ing the names of the measures to the
SOlOnS. In the senate over 400 bills had
been ushered in. The assembly, however,
broke its record of two years ago by
bringing the total up to 6S5 for the 1905
session. On the last day for the intro
duction of new business 263 bills were
introduced into the assembly, bringing
the total SO high that all previous marks
for the introduction of bills were scat
tered to the winds. The railway rate bill
is certainly attracting it's share of atten-
ton all over the state, and in the CORR
doris Of the capitol it is almost impossible
to pass through throng Of legislators

be passed in both houses, if the meeting
which the committee on state affairs
held last week goes for anything. The
measure authorizes the establishment of
an inspection system for grain at SUI

on the hottest fight that has ever taken

measure was familiar to the members.

go through without much of contest.
