Another evidence of we'll established
determination to have a city is the
erection of an $4,000 school houses.
This building is to be erected at once.
1t will have eight rooms, but will be
finished as required by the growth OF
the town.
The John S. Owen Lumber company
is an immense concern, employing 2OO
hands at and around the mills and sew
eral hundred in the woods With this
concern every day is pay day, and all
other matters are said to be handled on
the same basis.
Owen has about 900 people. The
town is located on very desirable
site and has promises of becoming a
city of Importance. The Fairchild rail
road has entered the town. That road
being owned by the Omaha gives the
town two lines.
The Owen people express the feeling
that their town and Ladysmith should
pull together in the development of the
intervening country and by so cooper
ating gather in the developments on
the theory of the trapper who would
s'catch 'em a-coming and catch 'em
a-going.

Trailing the Missing Link.

Scientists are again on the tail OF
the missing link Two years ago
certain marks were found on block
of sandstone near Warranambool, in
Australia, which were thought to be
the imprints of the footsteps of pre-
historic man. At the time this idea
was ridiculed, but plaster cast was
sent to Germany, and the inevitable
German savant went out to investigate
the matter. He now reports that in
his opinion they were genuine human
imprints, and this, taken in conjunc-
ton with the extraordinary human
skulls to be seen In the Warranambool
museum, Is supposed to show that
link between humanity and The ape

The Coffee Pot.

In many kitchens the remnant OF
the morning portion of coffee is left
in the pot on the back Of the range
for a mid-forenoon cup for the cook.
Not only is the rank flavor extracted
from the long-steeping grounds but
a certain deposit is made upon the
sides of the pot which is hard to re-
move, even by the most thorough
washing This deposit, if left on, will
surely faint the coffee that is subse-
uuently made in the pot and injure the
flavor of the best berries to be had.
The pot should be washed and scalded
every time it is used If any liquid
is left, 1t should be strained off into
either a porcelain, china or earthen-
ware vessel, or into a glass jar, when
1t may be added to any new brew
which is made.

OWEN STARTING RIGHT
The Little City Opens It's Career With
Sewers and Water
works.

Of the many who went down to Owen
Monday we believe that not one failed
to appreciate that that town is starting
out right.
The beginning is being made under
the management of the John S. Owen
Lumber company. Their money is the
handspring of the new order of town
building that prevails at Owen
The town was plated last year.
The first thing done was to establish
grades, lay sewers and water pipes.
The streets were then graded to es-
tablished lines and cement sidewalks
are being laid continuously through the
town. These items of cost are borne
now by the Owen Lumber concern and
will be figured pro rate on the price of
lots.
Among the features of the town that
has just passed the first year of it's
existence, is a $22, 900 solid brick hotel,
we'll located and handsomely designed.
The basement will contain the heat
ing plant, laundry, saloon, billiard
room, barbershop and sample rooms.
The ground floor will be about as
usual in first class hotels.
The second floor will have spacious
ladies' parlor and 81 sleeping rooms
all we'll lighted, with steam heat, hot
and cold water, call bells and all the

CURED OF DAKOTA.
Lived There Twenty Three Years
Without Crop.

Without a Crop.
Carl Exc, who lives on the rural mail
route near Amacoy Lake, discussed South
Dakota and Northern Wisconsin the
other day while the writer was at Bruce.
Mr.. Exc put in % years near Pierre,
S. D., where he took up homestead In
1883. Mr.. Exc says that during the %
years he never saw good crop.
One of the worst troubles was that OF
water. He spent the cost of forty
acres of land in Rusk county on a well
and got barrel of water. He hauled
water ten miles and oftentimes was
glad to get it at that.
Mr.. Exc came to Northern Wisconsin
a short time ago and was glad to get
crops and pure water instead OF the al
kali article of South Dakota.
Mr.. Exc plant a. tree claim in South
Da kota, but the trees wouldn't grow.
He finds after % years that his land IN
South Dakota is not worth more than
unimprovrd land in Rusk county.
Mr.. Exc says that in South Dakota
the land agents wouldn't bring land
seeker to the settlers, because the latter
would tell them the truth, but, he says,
'here they come out to have us tell
what we think of the country, and we
have to give them their dinner too. :"
Mr.. Exc is hustler and believes this is
the place for homemakers whether rich
or poor. He has nice home under way.

CENTRAL R. R. OPENS
First Regular Train Over the Line
Mondsy Carries Large
Crowd

u The first train over the Owen & North
ern division of the Wisconsin Central
railway pulled out of the Ladysmith sta
tion at $40 a. m. Monday.
The train was made up of three
coaches and carried out of Ladysmith
party of about hundred people who
paid the company the compliment of
riding on the first train out of the city.
The ride was a pleasant one through
a pleasant country, the trip provoking
in nearly every passenger even greater
appreciation of the territory and faith
in the future of our section of country.
From Ladysmith to Owen the same
excellent soil prevails with little varia-
ton, except that the last few miles show
a more flat country which in it's early
use will not be as well drained.
There will beyond doubt be several
good towns.
Teresita will be station; the Main
Creek power opportunity with Conrath
Brothers mill will make a town; the
Jump river power and mill and store
soon to be planted there will start an
activity that will produce a village and
future city. Fern is too well advanced
to fail of further development. Other
towns are sure to spring up along the
line.
The railway bed is much superior to
expectation at this time The fact that
much of the work on it was done in the
winter, and reports afoat lead many to
expect rough road. The opposite is
the fact. The train moved over the
rails as steadily as upon many of the
old lines and proved beyond question
tina when the roadbed is we'll settled it
will be an excellent one, bearing out all
that has been said of it.
At Owen close connection is made
both east and west. The west-bound
conn ection delivers you in ST. Paul at
A 80 pm.
The.return trip was made on time and
the ride was very pleasant outing to
to the many who went.

Soon AS Possible.
Rusk county farmers should respond
to the call for samples of grains, grass
es and vegetables for the great adver
tising scheme, which is destined to
place the productive power of the state
before hundreds of thousands of people
during the coming year.
The committee in charge wants to
hear from the farmers on this subject.
Doubtless many have gathered sam
Piles and intend ro bring them in, but
that fact, if it be fact, is not suffi-
cient. 1t carries too much uncertainty
in this impor tant matter. The COM
mittee feels an accountability in the
matter and wants to know what is be-
ing done. They want actual possession
of the samples, and next to that, want
direct information that samples have
been saved and that they will surely be
brought in.
This is a matter of public Importance
in which every person in the county
should take an interest.
Bring in your samples.
We must get rid of the too common
idea that the settlement of the county
is of interest only to land men. Every
one is benefited py increased popula-
ton. Every family that settles in your
neighborhood increases the value of
your land. Bring in your samples.
The businessmen have offered prem
iums that make it worth while to COM
pete, but the main and final point is the

The Wisconsin Central railroad COM

the river bank north of the school house
and connected to the company's sys-

some speculation as to the meaning OF
this extensive water plant. Its capac-
ity suggests larger supply of water
than usual.

Jump river this fall and that it will
be built on plans calculated to make
large cuts of the immense amount OF
timber available at that point and up
the river.
In addition to the mill it is said that
a store will be put in by the sawmill
people at that point.

LIGHT PLANT IS SOLD.
Goes to the Menasha Paper Company
After Few Months of

N Newman.
The Ladysmith Light and Power plant
has been sold. 1t was transferred to
the Menasha Paper company last Sat-
urday.
The transfer carries the property of
the company that went into bankruptcy
under the McGill management, the
dynamo that was levied upon by credit
ors who thought Newman owned it and
such other assets as have been added
since.
Probably every citizen of Ladysmith
will be pleased with the transfer. The
News is among these institutions who
prefer to use electric lights and when
ever our city plant is absolutely in the
control of such an institution as the pa
per company, will be ready to have lights
installed we say, as soon as the plant is
in the hands of reliable people-we
mean also when the "old gang is exclu-
sively, inclusively and otherwise ont OF
it.
Ladysmith should have good light
system and a good light system would
undoubtedly be we'll patronized. We
compliment the paper company in TAX
ing the plant and we will be ready to
further compliment the concern upon
evidence that it has "tied loose" from
the former management.

Among the misrepresentations of Senator Beveridge and his CO., workers in the territory, says the Republican, was the widely-circu- lated statement that whole sections of this territory favored joint statehood. One of these sections was Coconino county. In dis proof of this is the meeting at Flagstaff in which all interests were represented in solid opposi- ton to lointure. The delegates selected at that meeting will let congress know how Coconino feels. At the same time information will be lodged at Washington that a handful of recalcitrant republicans with a dark lantern behind closed doors are not representative of the statehood sentiment in Mohave county.

The daily and weekly Herald of Prescott has suspended publica- ton. Mir. Mcdonald, the editor, gives as the reason for the suspen- sion the unreasonable demands of the typographical union. T h e union demanded an eight hour day at ten hour wage, which was more of an increase in pay than he cared to stand, and he con- cluded to discontinue the publica- ton of his papers.
The Coconino sun., 1906-01-13

A writer in the Review of Re- views sums up the qualities of the country weekly paper as follows: Each copy is read not only by the people usually credited to the ordinary paper but twice that num- Der. In many instances subscrib- CTS pass their papers on and on to inmates of less fortunate homes. These publications are pre-emi- nently the home papers of news paperdom. They are not super fcially scanned while men travel to business, then left to brakemen to be gathered up. They go di- rectlv into homes and the reading of them is a duty as we'll as a pleasure. Hence their peculiar value as holders of public opin- ion."

The present program of the house is to report the joint state hood on Thursday of next week.

There is no indication that those opposed to the bill will surrender and the probability is that action will again be postponed.

Des Moines, July 9.-'The Legal Set
Element of an Insane Wife" a topic to
be considered in a paper by B. d. Good
speed Of Cass county at the annual
convention of county attorneys here
July 10 and II, promises to provoke an
interesting discussion. The program
for the convention has just been is
sued and this is probably one of the
most interesting features that will
come UP before the gathering of over
fifty public prosecutors of Iowa.
1t is expected that the divorce prob
lem in connection with the insane wife
will be discussed and also the duty of
the husband to her. Under the present
Iowa statute man can not get a die
vorce from his wife while she is in the
insane asylum. Accordingly there have
been some shocking results. The hui
name society of Des Moines recently
reported a case where man had his
wife paroled from the asylum. Three
days after her parole he secured di-
vorce. He Immediately left her with
her children. Within a week he mar
ried young woman in this city. The
grief drove the woman back into her
sad dimentia and she was returned to
the state hospital at state expense,
while the husband continued in peace
to enjoy his new honeymoon without
thought of the mother Of his children
or the little ones thus deserted.

cago. The new yards of the company,
twelve miles out Of Chicago, between
Maple Park and Elnhurst, are so Sit
uated that the trainmen cannot find
homes, and for them to live in Chicago
is impracticable because of its remote
ness from the yards. 1t is understood
that the company has been contem-
plating reversing the freight runs on
the Galena division and making Clin-
ton the freight terminus instead of
Chicago, thereby allowing the crews to
make their homes here. The change,
which local railroad men believe is
about to be made, tho no definite an

Big Feat.


Waldorf Astor was talking about the
aristocratic English regiment to which
his younger brother belongs
''There is a major in this regiment, =
he said, "who has very big feet. Even
the most aristocratic persons, you
know, have big feet occasionally.
This major bought wild and I'M
manageable charger not long ago. She
was beautiful animal, but no groom
could stay on her back. His friends
expected to see a good deal of fun
when the major first mounted her.
"A lot of them, my brother among
the number, gathered on the day the
mare was led out to the major. He,
his large feet hidden in tam colored
boots, petted the handsome animal,
gave her a lump of sugar, and then
leaped deity on her back.
ITO the surprise of all, the wild
charger proved rs gentle as lamb or
COW. The major rode her without
the least difficulty. There was no
trouble whatever.
"Amazi1l'. isn't it?' said a young cap
tain to my brother.
