Post. and it is clear to the population
| OF the island acquainted with the facts
that the reverend congregation has
found in the constitution Uf the Liza
que a great and irresistible Porto
Rican force raised in resolute atti
tude of protest against the teudal
colonization which the bureaucrats
exploit for their own profit.
Therefore what has transpired IS
in no sense singular, nor is it stran-
ge that the functionaries should at
tempt to End shelter for their selfish
ness and marked implacability behind
report which has not produced the
most infnitessimal effect on public
opinion.
Nobody is going to be convinced
nor fascinated by one or more Opt
Mons or by report whose contents are
contrary to the general view and op-
posed to the aspirations of the public.
The age Of Oracles has passed.
Those who wish to speak, speak, those
who wish to write, write; but white
cannot be called black and vice versa.
The loud laughter with which the
people responded to the excommunl-
cation of the official Oracle may still
be heard.
The functionaries, instead of vast
| ing: their time in securing opinions
from spposed authorities should at on
ce submit their case to true authori-
ty; they ought to denounce the League
of municipalities before the Courts as
an illegal and subversive organiza-
tion.
! Let them leave the case to the
Courts, making a formal denunciation;
let the contumacious bureaucracy at
once declare itself in contest against
the people who sustain it; and in such
manner would be brought to an end
| the unreasonable warfare, the treache-
rous aggressions, the suppressed mur-
murings and the things brought and
carried in the way of runors from and
to Mr.. Post; the incessant friction re-
sulting form bad advice given to the
Municipal accountants and treasurerS
which carries into the ayuntamientoS
an internal and distressing discord.
Such a case should be ventilated
in the Courts, case where the go
vernment is the exploiter and the
people the exploited.
The public cannot give the sligh-
test credence to anything that is said
by the functionaries and the clients OF
the budget. .
Possibly once in all the history
of colonization; and even shenld
| it be- against the people. they
.. will comply with the law, denouncing
those who are judged in defiance
of it.
This would be preferable to the ri
diculous informality which now main
tains.

There we're two negroes down in
Georgia, an old one and young one,
sitting on the same log, fishing. The
young one became very drowsy, while
waiting for the bite that never came.
He kept nodding and nodding, until
finally he lost his balance and fell
into the river. A benevolent old
Georgia gentleman, who just then
chanced to pass that way, was
delighted to see the other fisherman
fling down his pole and line, plunge
into the river and rescue the boy.
The old gentleman said to the negro:
"That was a noble act of yours to
save that boys life. Is he a
son of yours?" "Oh, no, said the old
negro, he amt no son OBJ mine. y
"But why, then, did you take such an
interest in saving the boys life?'
asked the gentleman. why, de fac
am, massa, dat boys got all my bait
in his pocket"

HE WAS NOT FAV0RAbLY
IMPRESSED WITH OUR CITY

The editor Of the WauSau Herald
who was in Grand Rapids last Tues
day to attend the Catholic Order of
Foresters, was not favorably impressed
with the general appearance he found
in Grand Rapids. We are sorry that
he was so impressed and perhaps his
criticism is we'll founded, but he must
remember that the spring of the year
when the accumulate of smoke, SCOT,
dirt of all kinds are frozen upon the
sidewalks and highways that the APP
pearance is not very favorable of any
city, which we believe is also true of
Wausau. Then again probably our
friend Powers was looking for too
much, expecting too much of city OF
six thousand as compared with his
home city of twelve or thirteen thou
sand; however we are sorry that he
was so impressed and give our readers
the benefit of his criticism as follows:
The editor of the Herald paid a
visit to Grand Rapids on Tuesday of
this week and it was about ten years
since we had been there before, we
naturally found many changes and
improvements, but still not SO many
aS we had been led to expect from the
many stories sent out of the boom the
old town was baving the past few
years. There have been many fine

SUGAR BEET MEETING
Farmers We're not greatly In
tereSted in the Subject.

A. f. PoStel, agricultural manager
of the Chippewa Sugar Company, was
in this city Saturday afternoon, and
spoke TO the few farmers that had
gathered at the City hall at o'clock.
Mf. Postel was thoroughly conversant
with the subject and spoke interest
ingly on the preparation of the soil,
the method of the planting of the
seed, care of the young beet, wedding,
etc. He. spoke of pecuniary results
obtained by the farmers in the
vicinltyof Chippewa Falls who are
raising beets. He explained how the
seed could be procured, what it
would cost and how much per ton the
beetS would bring the farmer delivered
at the station.
AS a result of his talk he secured a
few farmers who are willing to give
the subject of beet raising trial.
Mr. POStel was pleasant man of
pleasing address who has had sixteen
years experience in this line of work.
He does not claim that there is big
money in the culture of beets, but he
does claim that with good care and
attention to it, it is as certain and as
we'll paying crop as farmers can raise
in Wisconsin. He thinks it would
pay every successful farmer to give
the growing of beets a good trial.

HOME TEAM DEFEATED
Girls and Boys Both Suffer
Defeat at Grand Rapids.

The Sparta Advertiser in it's last
issue has the following complimentary
Dotice of the basket ball game in this
city last Friday night:
Both the girls and boys basket ball
teams were defeated at Grand Rapids
last Saturday night.
The girls game was very close and
the score was undecided until the
last moment. The team was weakened
considerably on account of the absence
of one of the regular players. The
final score was IL to 6 in favor of
Grand Rapids.
The boys game was more on the
football order and little more one
sided. The final score in the boys
game was % to IL. The players were
very we'll pleased with the entertain
ment received at Grand Rapids and
report an enjoyable time while in
that city.

new business houses and other build
ings of a substantial nature erected
within the past few years, the magni-
ticient water power Of the rapids has
been developed by means of a great
dam. mammoth paper mill has been
added new line of railroad secured.
But Notwithstanding all this Grand
Rapids still has the appearance of a
sleepy old country town.
1t is wholly lacking that air of stir
and hustle and progresSiveness that
attracts and favoraoly impresses the
stranger within its gates. 1t has not
the tidy, sprightly appearance that
makes city, as it does a home, entic-
ing. In fact. to the casual observer
it has the appearance of big, over
grown, sleepy village. The people on
the best residence streets of the city
prefer to wade through the snow to
their knees rather than shovel the
walks, and we presume in summer
they pasture their COWS on the lawns.
Grand Rapids is deserving of a
better fate. With its fine natural
location; it's almost unlimited water
power and It's exceptional railroad
facilities, it should become one of the
busiest manufacturing and wholesale
business centers in Wisconsin It's
future rests with it's own people. If
they will but awaken TO proper ap-
probation of the city's advantages
and their own responsibilities, Grand
Rapids will forge to the front; if not
it will lag by the way side and never
amount to much

AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL
SPOT ON THE JEFFERSON RIVER

Indians, We than sank our canoes by
means of stones to the bottom of the
river, situation which secured them
against the effects of high waters and
frequent fires of plains.
July s, lS05-Whence we proceeded
down the west bank of the Jefferson
river (now Horse Prairie Creek,) and
at distance of nine miles, reached
its forks, where we had deposited our
merchandise in the month of August
1905. We found everything safe,
thought some Of the goods were a
little damp, and one of the canoes
had hole,
July 9,-We are all occupied in rails
ing and repairing the canoes and
making necessary preparations for
resuming our journey tomorrow.
From this description we concluded
that the cave could be located and
party of five were soon on the way to
investigate. We found the forks OF
the river just as described but failed
to locate the cave. On our return
home sheep purchaser told us just
where the cave was located and there
is no doubt but what it is the one
described 10y Lewis & Clark. Our
trip however was one of much interest,
After driving up the stream for many
miles we came to what is known as an
Indian wall leading off across the
hills as far as the eyes could reach.
This wall consisted in piles of stone
dc intervals of from l6 to 20 feet apart
and were in perfectly straight line.
They had all the appearance of being
placed there more than Que hundred
years ago. 1t is supposed that they
were arranged to mark the boundary
line between Indian tribes. On cur
way back to Redrock we went some
distance out of our way to visit an
overhanging rock on the under side
Of which was an Indian painting of
two animals, one resembling a buffalo
and the other belonging to some pre-
historic times. Our trip was one of
the pleasantest l had in the west.
There is but one thing necessary to
make this part of Montana the
IoYeliest, the handsomest, the richest
and the most progressive spot in the
northwest. That thing is water.
Every hope of the people every in
terest of wealth. every prospect of
greatness, every devotion to home is
centered in that one great boom
water. Thousand of fat cattle are
found in the small valleys and on the
steep hillSides indicating that the
stock man is prOspering. A few small
canals radiate from the Jefferson river
taking the flood far off upon the rich
valley. Fields of alfalfa a king of all
foliage plants stretch away for miles
down the river. RedrOck may be
conservatively called the biggest town
for it's size in Montana owing to the
peculiar conditions rather than
peculiar or unusual citizenship.

FORESTERS AT THE RAPIDS

What our neighbors have to say OF
their recent visit in this city.

night and there was total attendance
of about 27O Foresters. There was an
entertaining program and a fine
banquet was served. Following the
banquet there were toastS responded
to by representatives of the various
courts. The Grand Rapids Foresters
spared no effort or expense in planning
and carrying out the entertainment
and certainly did themselves proud.
Various speakers from the surround
ing courts paid them many fine
compliments and at the close of the
t nteI tainment Graud Rapids court
was given three rouSing cheers.
