Celebrating the Fourth.

1t IS we'll to celebrate the Fourth,
but it is not we'll to celebrate it with
reckless folly. The statistics of
Fourth of July fires and casualties
shed no luster on the nation. When
Portland. Maine, was swept with a
ten million dollar conf1agraUion in
1866 there went up on every side a
protest against the needless use Of
combustibles and gunpowder. Ev-
cry Fourth Of July since that time
has been marred by some extra
vagances which might we'll have
been curbed. See the recent statis-
tics of death and injuries culled
from newspapers Of the 5th of
July, noting the casualties of the
Fourth:
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-06-27

The column of deaths falls far
short of exhibiting the mortality
consequent upon the careless handl-
ing of explosives on the Fourth of
July. A large proportion of the
mortality from accidents with ex-
plosiYe follows lockjaw, and that
takes several days to develop.
Let the Fourth be celebrated, but
let it be celebrated sanely. Fire
works belong to the Fourth as sure
ly as the turkey Is identified with
the secular part of the observance
of Thanksgiving; but the fireworks
used should be of the safer kinds,
and they should be handled with
due precaution.

school and the gymnasium. The
heating and power plant is situated
just outside the main building and
there is no basement.
The new building occupies the
campus, which was formerly de-
voted to baseball, football and the
various forms of athletics. This
site is on West Main ST., three
blocks west of the old structure.
These grounds are a trltie larger
than those of the old building. The
new sdifice has been planned to fit
the site and there is good opportun-
ity for such landscape gardening,
as shall make an appropriate setting
for the handsome edlfice.
For more than a half cent Try
the old PlaUteville Academy has
stood and for forty years it has
served as the nucleus of the Nor
NAL. From time to time additions
have been made to meet new needs
and provide sufficient room for the
steadily growing school. The pres
ent building Will be occupied until
the new one is completed.
The building is still IN a good
state of preservation and it will
doubtless be occupied by some
other institution after the students
and faculty have left the halls and
rooms that have become hallowed
by many tender associations.

This beautiful building is now in
process of construction, and with
the new equipment the cost is to be
one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
The cut shows the north front which
is one hundred eighty-seven feet IN
length. The building is nearly
square and is three stories high, so
there is ample accommodation for
a large assembly room, numerous
lecture authorization rooms, libraries
laboratories, gymnasium, society
rooms, departments for music.
manual training, and kindergarten,
a conservatory, and all other
activities connected with a progress

The building is of GAINESVILLE white
brick with BEDFORD stone trimmings.
This gives beautiful effect. Purity

appearance of the structure. The
spacious assembly room occupies
the central portion of the building
in the second and the third stories.

In response to a request from Mr..
w. .. Hotchkiss, who has charge
OF economic geology for the state
survey, the fourth assistant post
master general has sent a letter to
postmasters in the state asking
them to furnish the state survey
with all the information desired
about roads along the rural free
delivery routes. In a few DAYS a
list OF questions will be sent to each
rural free delivery carrier. The an
sWers will furnish information that
will be as detailed as could be OBJ
tanned in any way by the state, and
through the kindness of the post
office department will cost practi-
cally nothing. There are about 500
rural free delivery carriers in the
state and their routes aggregate
something like 81, 900 miles of roads.
or about one-half of the total mile
age OF roads in the state. By this
means fair road census of about
half the road mileage of the state
will be obtained at cost of but a
few dollars for postage in sending
out list of questions, while any
other means that could be used for
collecting the information would
cost at conservative estimate, sew
eral thousand dollars. The in
+! formation thus obtained, will assist
! in putting the geological survey in
position to advise as to the best me-
thods Of making roads in any part
of the state.
1t is of interest to note that Wis
consin is the second state in which
this novel method of collecting data
on roads is used. The scheme was
originated and first used in Illinois
by Mr.. A. n. Johnson Of the Illinois
highway commission. The willing
ness Of the postofice department
to cooperate is evidence of their
/ strong appreciation of the necessity
of good roads for cheap and efficient
rural delivery service. They are
anxious to assist in any way possible
in getting the rural districts TO keep
their roads in the best possible con-
dition
The fact that the postofice, whose
carriers from an extremely small
part of the travel over the country
roads, is anxious to cut expenses by
having better roads for its carriers
to travel, is strong evidence that the
farmers themselves would save
much money if the roads were inn
proved ard kept in proper shape.

been fortunate in securing the CO.
operation of the Postofice depart

the roads of the state. There are
no persons who travel the roads as
faithfully every day at all seasons
of the year as the Rural Delivery
carriers and none who are better
qualified to tell of them. They
know every rut and bad spot and
every broken culvert as we'll as the

eleven men and eleven women.
Platteville is remarkable as having.
the largest proportion of young
men found in any of the normal
schools of the North Central states.
Last year there were nearly one
hundred young men and thirty
two were voters having an average
age OF twenty-three years.
Graduates from a good high
school can compile tie the advanced
course in two years and then win a
state certificate when countersigned
by the state superintendent. Such
graduates can then go on to the
University of Wisconsin and enter
the junior class with an opportunity
to complete a full course there in
two years. There is constant and
urgent call for graduares and those
who have supplemented the normal
course by two years at the Uni
versity find opportunity for rapid
promotion
A cordial welcome awaits arv
young man or woman who comes
to work and catch the spirit of the
school. There is no desire to such
large numbers, but there. is an
earnest desire to secure mature and
manly young men and earnest
young women who wish to fit them
selves for public school work. A
catalogue Of the institution may be
had by addressing the president.

MINING NOTES.
Notes OF the Mines for Past Week
Local and Otherwise.

The incorporators Of the Pigeon
Mining Company, L. Weber. T. F.
Orion, Il. S. Rhodes, Thos. Webb
and J. T. Webb met in Brown and
Brennan's Office Monday and re-
organized the company.
The new company bought out the
interests of the original promoters
and subscribed for thirty thousand
OF the sixty thousand shares to be
issued. OF the remaining shares.
twenty thousand are for sale and
the balance of the ten thousand
shares will be reserved as treasury
stock.
Officers and directors were elected
as follows
Officers. L. Weber, President; Z.
+. Orton, Vice Pres. H. S. Rhodes.
Treasurer; H. F. Alt, Sec,y.
Directors. L. Weber, John Dec
how, T F. Orion, Thos. Webb, M.
G. Edwards, FL. F. Alt, H. S.
Rhodes.
The shaft at the mine is down
about thirty feet and the work is
progressing rapidly. The stock sub
scription will be pushed energetical-
ly now and the twenty thousand
shares should be quickly taken If the
good condition of the mine has any
thing to do with it.
Nv
w. E. Lathrop, WI. Mclaughlin,
John Dechow and Capt. Richard
Edwards of Calumet, Michigan, re-
turned Saturday from a trip through
the mining district of Southwest
Wisconsin. They visited, Platte
vile, Cuba City, Hazel Green, Ben
ton and Dubuque as we'll as the
Eberle mine. Capt. Edwards was
sent here by Calumet parties who
are intending to subscribe for
large block of Industrial mining
stock. He is mining engineer of
experience, having been superin-
tendent of one mine for twenty
years until forced to retire because
of injuries received in a mine acct
dent. Capt. Edwards came here
particularly to inspect and report
on the Eberle mine. After inspec-
ton he pronounced it as far better
than he had expected and a great
mine.
The Eberle, he said, if provided
with the necessary machinery for
the rapid taking out of ore would
prove to be a great producer and
dividend payer.
Before leaving for his home Capt.
Edwards made some statements
which are of interest to all inter-
ested in the welfare of this COM
munitY There is no longer any
doubt" be said, ''about the future
of this district. No matter who
knocks or how many knock, if.
local capital can't develp the mines
properly out side capital will. All
the people out here have to do is to
stay with the game and not get dis
couraged."
Such statements as this and es-
pecially when given after thorough
investigation and by man of vast
experience are certainly very en-
couraging to all interested.
