R. R. SURVEY COMPLETE
Fred M. Sergeant Returned tS the
City Saturday From Two
Years Work.

The survey on the Owen & Northern
railway between Ladysmith and Super
ior and Duluth has been completed.
Fred NJ. Sergeant Of this city, who has
been one of the principal men on the
job returned to the city Saturday after
putting in nearly two years of service
on this work
Mr.. Sergeant feels that the best pos
sible results have followed from the
continued and exacting work that has
been performed and that the improve
ments made in the line as to grades and
curvature will repay the immense ex-
penses that were incurred in the long
campaign.
AS to when construction work will
commence on the northern division,
Mr.. Sergeant would not hazard an
opinion. AS no statement has been
given out, the only basis for conclu-
sion in this regard is the great expense
incurred in securing the best possible
route and the persistency with which
the work was prosecuted.
Mr. Sergeant thinks it very probable
that contracts for construction w6rk
will be awarded this summer, but on
this phase of the situa ton there is
nothing definite at this time.
AS heretofore stated in the News,
this line will have by far the lowest
grades and curvatures of all the roads
in Northern Wisconsin, permitting the
hauling of much heavier trains and the
making of very fast time.

PROF, CRAIG ON RUSK
His Ideas on the Value Of Our
Pasturage.

Prof. John A. Craig, Professor Of
Animal Husbandry in the Iowa State
College of Agriculture, in writing of
the possibilities of Northern Wisconsin,
makes the following statement:
eff I were q man of capital with a
farm in Southern Wisconsin or in any
Of the corn growing states, | would
buy as much of the cheap land in the
northern part Of Wisconsin as I could
and stock it with sheep for the pur-
pose of raising feeders to be fed ON the
home farm | cannot conceive of any
business being more certain in it's re-
turns than the lamb feeding business
conducted in this way
Prof. Craig is all right in his pro-
position, but he might go farther with
it and advise disposing Of high priced
lands and buying our cheaper lands.
It is established that stock will winter
as we'll as summer to advantage on
Rusk county feed without the expense
of grain.

TO ASK BETTER RATES
Delegates Will Go to Milwaukee to
Secure Rates For Land
Seekers.

A number of Rusk county real estate
men met at the court house Saturday
and selected three delegates to go to
Milwaukee July Goth to join with dele
gates from other parts Of the state in
an effort to secure concessions from the
railroads in the matter of rates to land
seekers in the northern part of the
state. Heretofore the railroads have
given land seekers one-half fare at all
times and when accompanied by q GER
tain number of land seekers, special
rates were also given land agents.
This has assisted largely in getting
men to come to northern points. 1t
may be that considerable portion of
these people would have come on full
rates, but it is certain that many need
some inducenent, especially when re-
duced rates are given in other direc-
tions. It is only fair to our section
that we have as good rates as others
have, and it will be conceded that if
the new rate law cuts off such rates,
then the law is wrong and should be
changed. However, whether or not
the present law interiors with land
seekers rates, is a question to be de
ternined and the convention eff land
man at Milwaukee will determine that
question.
The delegates selected to attend the
Milwaukee meeting are:
R. A. Austin Of Bruce.
C. II. Ellingson Of Hawkins.
A. J. Chubbs of Ladysrith.
AS the News understands the pur-
pose of this movement, it is, first to
determine whether the railroads are
prevented by the new law from issuing
tickets as before, second, if SO to see
if remedy cannot be obtained from
the railway comrnission--th third, if no
redress can be secured, to continue the
organization in an effort to secure an
amendment at the next session of the
legislature.
Certainly everyone in Rask county,
is opposed to losing any advantage that
will assist in securing further develop
meat and want to knoW what the. pres
ant situation is and to secure a remedy.

ABOUT RAILROAD WORK
Progress Good All Along the Line
at Present.

Progress Good All Along the Line
at Present.
The various contractors on the Owen
& Northern line are making, good pro
gress since the better weather began.
Grading Is being pushed as rapidly as
possible and conditions are improving.
j. A. Mcintosh of the chief contract
ors was here this week inspecting pro-
gress and was we'll satisfied.
Messrs. Stone & Rudolph, the bridge
contractors, have five crews at work
at various points along the line and are
confident that they viii have their part
of the work done as per the original
program Of completion by the first of
October.
AS to work on the northern section,
from Ladysmith to the lake., none of
the contractors give any information,
but are Of the opinion that operations
will commence as soon as the weather
will allow the transportation of the
heavy equipment, which will not be
till winter unless we have very cry
fall.

BOUGHT BANK BUIL. Ding
w. S. Manning and E. A. Ripley of
National Bank Of Commerce
Secure It.

The News announced last week that
w. S. Manning and associates had bar
gained for the building occupied by the
First National bank. The deal had
been closed, the purchase being made
by Messrs. w. S. Manning and E. A.
Ripley Of the National Bank of Com
merce of Minneapolis.
A new bank will undoubtedly be
opened in the near future.
There is sufficient field in Ladysmith
for two banks and our people will be
glad to have both substantial institu-
tions, such as will command the con-
fidence Of all the people. Solid banks
are material element in every city.
Experienced men such as Mr.. Ripley
ought to find this a good location.

Leona Robley, Ladysn1ith.
Althea Boyer, Ladysmith.
Mary Whidden, keystone.
Nellie Wood, Flambeau.
Mabel Bates, Bruce.
While the attendance is sufficient to
warrant the efforts Of the instructors,
it would have been gratifying to those
who areinterested in our county schools
to have seen q much larger attend
2nce.
The school authorities Of the county
districts will do we'll to note who has
the energy to attend this school in the
heat of summer and give them credit
when selecting teachers for the comm g
year.
Rusk county teachers have always
evinced a desire to progress and Supt.
Mackin has availed himself in every
possible way to assist them in their
efforts, in fact has been persistent
leader at all times. His good work
should be, and what is a pleasant fact,
is appreciated.
The News has seen some of Prof.
Starin's excellent work and has noted
that Miss Rosenquist's work is highly
praised.
The county superintendent expects
that the institute to follow the summer
school will be largely attended.

CONCRETE BUILDING.
j. w. Miller Having One Of Them
Constructed.

Constructed.
j. w. Miller is having building con-
;structed of concrete from the local
factory. 1t is to be small building
between the Pioneer store and the
Hamm building and will be used for
an office. This is the first building in
the city made of concrete and will to a
considerable extent test the desirability
of this material for building purposes.
The building is being made of blocks
so shaped as to leave air spaces to cut
off frost and, it is alleged, will make a
practically frost proof wall.
If this building is satisfactory, con
crete will probably become to a con-
siderable extent the building material
of the future in this city. The outer
blocks Of this building are made to look
like cha1npfered natural rock, but may
also be made to present a smooth sur
face.

Che Meal to Which Three Artists Wers

The three artists were invited b.

little cages at the top in which tbs
pipkins of food were kept hot. Fagl,

wife having announced that til"
polenta was ready, the husband liz
aplly laid the board. The guest:
md the family seated Themselves
he children on wooden stools, the
rrowrup people on rush bottome6
chairs, and Fagiola took a large
board from the corner. With a
knife he scraped off the dried meai
sticking to it out of the door, the
fowls gathering to feed upon the
scrapings. Then he passed his hand
across the board and, finding il
comparatively smooth, laid it upon
the knees Of the company, who wer'
sitting in a circle. Next he took
from the crane, where it hung over
the fire, large, three legged iron
pot of polenta (hasty pudding) and
emptied it upon the board. Hi
wife with a long pudding stitch

thickness. Then each person stake"

iron, where it had been keeping
warm, a saucepan filled with snail&
stewed in brown gravy and helpc+
each person to a share of the snaiIs
