DlETz CONTEST NEARs CLIMAX.
Two Hundred and Fifty Men Dis
patched to BEGIN Work.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, April NJ
The climax in the dispute between
John f. Dctz and the Chippewa Lum
ber d Boom company may be reached
today. IT, as many fear. trouble will
ensue between the two forces which
will then be opposing each other
there may be most serious results
United States marshals it is said, will

now $50 men employed by the boom
company either near to Cameron dam

is attempting to hold or on the way
there They have orders to go ahead.
One hundred log drivers left yester-
day morning, following $50 men who
were sent during the patter part
OF last week. The program OF the
lumber company is TO open operations
today.
Diet2, on the other hand. is reported
to have said that he will withstand
any attempt to do this al any time
Just what will happen depends largely
on the truth of that report, Many Of
the men sent by he boom company
are positively known to be heavily
armed, showing, 1t is declared what
is expected when the small army
reaches the Cameron dam. Three
men will operate the locks, is the de-
sign of the boom company, if possible,
they having been furnished with new

than they had on January l. 1904,
which is an indication that some Of
the fraternal beneficiary societies

to certain extent realizing that their
rates are Inadequate and are adjusting
them accordingly. On January l,
1908, the liabilities OF these societies

January |, 1904. these societies had
l69,559 policies IN force in Wisconsin
They issued during 1904 2S,655 poll

icies in force January /, 1905, ISL 167,

lected in premiums and assessments
during 1904 from Wisconsin members
$2,336 ,50S.61 and paid l.445 claims.
amounting to $1,723, 1876.
The experience of fraternal bene-
ficiary societies has demonstrated the
fact that rates must be calculated on
mortality tables and that reserve pro
visions must be made to eqtTalize the
hazard of increasing age. 1t is con
coded that fraternal societies properly
conducted more nearly cover the
needs of the people and that by their
method of economy of management,
they can grant insurance at less cost
than does the old line companies.
