New Residences at Lake Geneva.

Residences that in the aggregate
will cost over 100000 will be COM
pleted on the shores of Lake Geneva
by the middle of May. Three magnid-
cent dwellings are being constructed
within a half mile of each other. So
anxious was one builder to have his
place ready for this season, that the
contractor put big circus tent around
a structure that covered an area of
an acre and towers high in the air.
Fires were kept burning in the tent
all winter while the inside and out
side finish of the palace was in prog
ress.

milwaukee Chamber of Commerce.

The price of memberships in the
Milwaukee chamber of commerce has
jumped from $3.50 to $225. The latter
was the price bid for them, but there
were none available for sale. It is
thought the price will go much higher
in the near future. Members of the
exchange were greatly interested In
the decision of the appellate court OF
Illinois that the purchase of optional
contracts by one member Of the Chi
cago board of trade from another is
illegal. The effect of the decision will
do away with 'bid and offers" which
were bought and sold by certain mem
bers of the board after decision
against quits and calls" was made by
the governing committee of the board
of trade The decision was rendered
in suit brought by Harry Woods, a
member of the board of trade, against
Mark Bath, another member, regard
ing the purchase of 10000 bushels of
wheat The court declared that the
purchase of an optional contract is
in violation of the criminal code.
The action Of the board will kill priv
ilege trading by the Chicago board
Illinois is the only state in the union
where trading in quits and calls" is
against the statutes. The Milwaukee
exchange men do not think the law
should be in force there, but owing to
Chicagos action against them they
naturally feel pleased at anything that
tends to decrease that body's business.
1t is believed that the decision will
greatly help the business of the Mil
waukee board Another action that
Chicago is expected to take in the
near future is cutting down the price
of it's commission from one-fourth per
cent. to one-eighth. Chicago charges
the highest rate of commission of any
exchange in the country since it
raised the rate a month ago. Every
other exchange has the standard rate
of one-eighth per cent. and Chicagos
action a month ago sent great deal
of it's business to Milwaukee, Mime
apolis and other cities. One of the
prominent commission men of Chi
cago said that, Chicago would have to
cut out its privilege dealing trading
entirely or be raided like any other
gambling concern.

Accused Of swindling Farmers.

EASIuSS0 VI o. AhVA1s
Milwaukee.--Th police are look
ing for two young men who, it is
claimed, have swindled q number OF
Wisconsin and Michigan dairymen
under the pretense of being Milwau-
kee commission merchants. 1t Is
claimed that the two men did bust
ness as commission merchants on
East Water street for three weeks
under the title of Henry G. Bowen. It
is said that the men came to the city
and rented the store on East Water
street and then sent out circulars to
farmers offering high prices for but
ter, eggs and cheese. According to
the story told by the police the farm
ers sent in large quantities Of dairy
products, which the alleged com
mission merchants sent to Chica-
go and realized cash on. After
they had been operating in the
city for three weeks the men
left the city, and have not
been heard from since. A number OF
farmers have since appeared in the
city looking for the payment on their
shipments. 1t is said that the al
legged swindlers received thousands
of dollars in this city.

their underground channels in the
limestone through which it is known
that large subterranean rivers flow.
''It is the opinion of some geOlOgists
that the source of water supplying the
great geysers of Colorado is the same
that supplies the Everglades. There
are sound reasons for such an hypothe-
sis.
A Doubtful Whether the
Everglades can be drained is a doubt

reasonably expect to find a deposit of
pure sand over the greater portion of
the area now covered by water.
''Such sand would have a question
able agricultural value; but what is
to become of that eternal flow of water
from these underground rivers? They
cannot be stopped up as easily as the
mouth of the st. Johns river. 1t is
my judgment that such a project
would drain the state treasury more
rapidly than the Everglades.
Il may be mistaken about all this
but when 1 am convinced that I am

How the Torrens System of Regis
tering Land Titles Would
Save Time, Expense, La
bor and Worry.

We have, at various times. publish
And have recommended it as strongly
as we could. The Importance of the
subject and the vast saving that its
adoption would make i'm the trans
ferring of land titles. furnishes good
reason for bringing the matter before
you again. Do not forget it. but when
you are asked TO support a candidate
for the legislature. ask him if he will
do his best to have this system adopt
ed i'm this state, if not better vote for
some one who will.
The following account of it is from
the Progressive Farmer:
1t is not assuming too much to say
that the discussion of the present sys-
tenn of registering deeds and transfer
ring land titles must have produced in
the minds of those who have read it a
conviction that the system entails a
large amount of expensive and I'M
necessary labor-paid for partly by
the public: and greatly by the land
owner. purchaser and bOrrOwer-as
well as long and needless delays: and
it is hoped that this setting forth of
the Inconvenience and cOmplica tons
attendant on the system will empha-
size its faults. IT is also hoped that
the necessity of an improved system
has been made so clear that a change
may he anticipated within a reason
able time after the attention of the
,ublic shall have been directed to the
sIhiect-certainiy. in the larger towns
of the state and in the thckly settled
countries.
How Can Improvement be Nader
What is the remedy? The change
from the old to the new must be rad-
cal. if it is to be effective. The fun
damental idea of the present system
that is. that the registration of deeds
for land is for the purpose of notice
simply las has already been eXplained)
must be discarded and it must be
understood that registration is to be
made for the purpose of transferring
and guaranteeing the title to the land
absolutely
The change. to be of real service
must be such IL one as will dispense
with the present continuously growing
expense. delay and insecurity (which
result III the depression of the value
of land and in causing loans on land
to be regarded by capitalists as the
most undesirable of securities) and
