ginned only one-third as many bales of

A Sigh Mistake.

Those who read the article in week
before last Review in regard to manu-
featuring Concrete Building Blocks,
will remem Der that on tbs latter end
OF the article attention was called TO
brick, and the life OF, the same. 1t
read as follows: The life OF brick
when exposed to weather is not TO
xcead ten years" Brother Bowen
may be right on that subject, but in
oar way of thinking 90 did not give
brick long evity enough.
We do Mt want MIR. 70 ierck to
think that We are knocking against
him, for we do not mean it that way
and anything We say we are ready to
prove. We think that Mr.. Roderick's
plan is very commenlable one and
hope to see him do as the Review has
stated.
But about brick. we will take for
INSTANCE our High School building,
that is we'll worth the money. 1t
was built some IL years ago and out
oflbrirk, which is just as good today
as the dav it was multi, some people
may sav that they mean just the
cbimney.s Well If that is So, again
/ we % to the school building which
has three large chimnsys one ON the
west end and two on the east, which
extend about twenty feet above the
roof. Please do not cretisise US in
regard to the length we have given
the chimneys above the roof as we did
not go up there and measure them,
but they are there yet and put there
when the school house was built and
we think they are perfectly solid. at
least no complaint has been made as
to them cruinbling away.
We have great amount of good
clay in our county, aud in the
town of Eagle River, which some day
we hope TO see manufactured in to
brick, it is a good location for anyone
who wants to start in business, there
is enough clay in our city limits to
manufacture brick for years to come
ami We believe that they can be
guaranteed TO stand more than ten
years.

In the Joint Republican caucus
which nominated Governor La Fullett,

n the number AT the joint session
OF ,e legislature, Governor La Toilette
received the votes of all the Republi-
can legislators present, excepting
Sena ors Wright and Wolf.
In his speech OF acceptance, the
governor stated in effect, that he
would accept the honor on condition
that he might ba at liberty to decline
it later if sucA cause became teces-
sary. Governor la Follette's speech
accords with the story prevelant at
Madison for two days PRIOR to the
caucus that the Governor had
pledged himself to Isaac Stephenson
and that he would accept the senator
ship; that he alone could round up
the Half-Breed legislators; that he
would cause his election. hold it up

doing all in his power To giving the

There is no doubt but the Quarles,

La Toilette in the caucus on the theory
that he would not accept the senaaor-
ship. The scheme was we'll planned
aud executed The candidates were
al deceived excepting JudgeWebb.
