Authorities Decide to Establish Two
Experimental Farms.
DOUGLAS COUNTY CAPTURES ONE
And Bayfield, County Gets the Other.-T,
be Located on Sandy Soil Near Iron
River and the other on Clay
Soil Near Superisr.

Positive information has been
received that one of the farms
to be established by the State
School of agriculture, and main
tanned as an experimental stat
ion will be located near Iron
River in this county. Tt was
thought advisable by the authori-
ties to establish two firms in.
stead Of one, thus providing an
opportunity for making invest i
cation of the value of different
soils. Therefore the sandy land
near Iron River was chosen for
one farm and the clay land near
Superior for the other.
Work will be begun on the
Superior farm at once as part
of the Douglas County poor farm
has been donated for that
purpose.

Treasury in Bad Shape.

The school treasury is in bad
shape and there was danger of
not being able to pay the teach
ers salaries for the month of
October. The law provides that
unless the money is on hand in
the treasury no orders can be
issued. This was provided for
by the issuance Of due bills, for
that part of the salaries which
the board was unable to pay
E. E. Kenfield and O. A. Lamor-
eaux came to the rescue, by TAX
ing up the due bills held by the
grade teachers and promising to
hold same without interest until
there is sufficient cash in the
treasury to pay them.
This is a commendable act on
the part of these gentleman, and
all ciuizens should feel greatful to
them for thus assisting the
school board out of an EN- bar-
RAISING situation. The amount
advanced amounted to nearly
$4,000.

The Newspaper.

Speaking of what newspaper
Goes for community. United States
Senator Davis of Illinois, made an
address that remains ever green in
the memories OF newspaper men.
He said: Every year local papers
give from 500 to 5000 free lines for
the benefit Of the community in
wnichit is located. No other agency
can or will do this. The editor in
proportion to his means does more
for his own town than any other
man, He ought to be supported,
not because you happen to like him
or admire his writing, but because a
local paper is the best inves tment a.
community can make. It may not
be crowded 9th great thoughts, but
financially IL is more benefit than
Doth preacher and teacher. Today
editors do more for less pay than any
other men on earth. Patronize your,
home. paper, not as a charity, but as
as inves TIM ent. /"

An Adjourned session of the Circuit
Court Held Monday
INTERESTING CASE WAS TRIED
The question as to Whether Grain Can be
Taxed in the Local Elevator, by the
City Authorities Being Fought
Out in the Conrts.


circuit court was held in the city
Monday, Judge Parish presiding.
The session was held for the
purpose of trying the case Of
the town of Washburn against
Nye-Jenks & Go. This is a case
growing out of an assessment
made in 1903 against the Nye-
jerks & Co.'S grain in the local
elevator. The grain was assessed
that year for 100000 and the
tax extended amounted to So,
749,9 which the company re-
fused to pay until it had been
settled that they were liable for
this tax. The town treasur er
began an action to collect the tax,
but before the matter was settled
he was compelled to turn over
the tax roll to the county treasur-
er. The amount of the tax was
not returned by the treasurer
but was held as being in process
of collection. When the city was
incorporated this collection was
turned over to the town of Wash
burn and the actian broughtis to
collect sane.
The Nye-Jenks & Co. repre-
sented by John R. Van Derlip
and A. w. Mcleod contend that
the grain was IN transit, was be-
ing handled under the interstate
commerce lawsand was therefore
not subject tC taxation by any
state or municipality. The town
of Washburn by Attorneys Tom
kins & Tomkins and Garvin and
George g. Mcdonald claim that
the grain escapes taxation and it
is therefore subject to assess
ment at this point.
The case is interesting as tend
ing to settle the question of the
right of the local authorities to
tax grain in elevators. This was
the only year IN which it has
been assessed. Grain dealers
and handlers at the head of the
lakes are watching this case as
thousands of dollars worth of
property at Superior and other
points will be taxed in local ele-
vators if it held that this grain
is subject to taxation.

Steel Trust Raises Wages.

New York-Oficial notices have
been sent out by the various compa-
MES of the United States Steel corpo-
ration informing thousands of work
men of an increase in wages beginning
April 1. 1t is estimated that the in
crease will amount in round figures
to $S.000,000. No details have been
made public here, but it is said that
those who will receive the increased
pay will be the laborers, skilled mill
hands and the class of mechanics now
receiving moderate wages.
Agreements with the tinplate, sheet
steel and other workers, which expire
on June 80 next, will not be changed
at present. 1t is expected that high
err wage scales will go into effect in
these departments after that agree
ment has expired.

MASSACRE OF INFANTS.
Food Poisons Kill 455,ooo Babies in
Year.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the national association of
state dairy and food departments held
in Chicago recently, reports show that
5000 infants died in the United
States last year from the effects of
food poisons. Food commissioners
from different states, health officers
and officers of the national association
are attending the meeting.
The claim of the enormous fatality
among infants last year resulting from
impure food is made by ]. N. Hurry,
secretary of the Indiana state board
of health. Mr.. Hurry produces figures
to show that Is per cent of the total
deaths of infants in America last year
was due to poisons administered in
impure foods and the deadly concoc-
lions placed on the market by fraudu-
lent food manufacturers.
Renewed efforts toward prohibiting
the sale of food products containing
poisonous authorizations are to be
made.

MAKES BLUFF
AT SUICIDE
LOUIS IA PAGE THREATENS TO
SWALLOW sTRYCHNINE IN "A
MAIN STREET SALOON.

Louis La Page, better known as
'F'renchy," who has for some time
been employed at saloons as a porter,
made what is generally believed to
have been bluff at committing sui
eide Monday afternoon, although there
lis just chance that the man really
intended to make away with himself.
At all events, he created the biggest
kind of a sensation for about min
ute and gave several people at the
Elkh0n saloon 3 scare.
Warrant Out for Him.
1t seems that on Sunday last, La
Page Nnd another man engaged in a
row, and a complaint was sworn to
charging him with disturbing the
peace. Marshal Bebh, armed with a
warrant. started out alter the man,
and as soon as "Frenchy" saw the Off
Ger coming ne made a break, and got
away long enough to get into drug
store, where, by giving plausible en-
clse. some strychnine was sold him.
La Page them hurried to the .Elkhorn
saloon, and asked for a glass of wa
ter, which WIS given him. He quickly
emptied the s1rychnine into it, and
telling the crowd what it was, an
nounced thst he was going Ito kill
himself befo,e their eyes. AS he rails
ed the glass to his lips. the barkeeper
struck it from his hand and spilled
the contents On the floor Within a
few minutes "Frenchy" was gathered
in by Marshal Bebb and taken to the
city jaTl. There he announced that he
had taken the poison, and went
through lot of gyrations in imitation
OF man suffering from strychnlae
poison. DR.. SymJnes was summoned
but "Frenchy" soon recovered.

COAL MINERS
AREENTOMBED
OVER HUNDRED LIVES BEliEv.
ED TO HAVE BEEN LOST
IN ALABAMA.

Birmingham. Feb. 2O.-By an explo-
sion in the Virginia mine, about IS
miles southwest of Birmingham. at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, between 10
and 1876 union miners are entombed,
and it is believed the entire number
suffered an awful death Scores of viz.
orous rescuers are at work digging in
to the mine to relieve their friends
and comrades in the inside.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
dust, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free
from dust. 1t is also believed that
as the entire quota has probably been
killed the details of the cause of the
disaster will never be known.
The camp is almost isolated from
the rest of the world, as there is no
telegraph at Virginia, and the only
wire running to the place is dis.
patcher's wire on the Birmingham
Mineral railway, on which Virginia is
located. Details of the disaster were
slow to come in.
The class of miners employed was
the best in the district and all be-
lOhged to the United Mine Workers
OF America. Since the strike has been
on in the Birmingham district many
of the most industrious and thru
miners of Payette City and other i'm
portant mining points have removed
to the Virginia mines 50 that tn,
mines were being worked to their full
capacity by the most skilled miners
in the community.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen We're dispatched from both
birmingham and Bessemer as soon as
the news of the disaster was learned
They began the work of succor in
earnest before 6 O'Clock, and at mid
night had not dug half way through
the mass of debris.
1t is thought it will be 10 o'clock
tomorrow before the interior of the

Paris. Feb. 1S.-The assassination
OF Grand Duke Sergius absorbs pub
Tic and official attention, as personally

Foreign Minister Delcasse's gala re-
