State tuberculosis Hospital.

Plans for IA SIS 900 tuberculosis hos
pital to be established by the state
board of health near Wales, in Wau-
kesha county, are being prepared by
Architect HOwand Russell, of Miwau-
kee and it is expected that they will
be completed within a few days. The
general design of the buildings already
has been approved by the advisory
board, so that little delay will ensue
in the construction work II is de-
sired to have the institution ready for
occupancy by fall. According to the
state tuberculosis sanitorium all
patients must pay a fee of five dollars
a week for treatment, but INDECENT
persons who cannot pay may be COM
mitted to the hospital by one of the
judges of their county, in which event
the county is compelled to pay the
fee The hospital will consist of four
shacks, an infrmary, a building con-
tanning the servants quarters, a
kitchen and general dining room, an
administration building, laundry, a
residence for the superintendent and
a stable. Cement and hollow tile will
be used in the construction of the diff
ferent buildings. Each shack will ac-
commodate 20 patients. They will be
16 feet wide and 172 feet long. Ho,-
low tile block will be used in the con
struction.

Senator J. j. McGillivray, one of the
candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor, was in Madison and
called on the civil service commission
and charged that some Of the state en-
ployes are manifesting considerable
His charge was not specific, but it is
thought that the objection was AIMED
at some of the game wardenS and oil
inspectors. Senator McGillivrav was
told that the civil service commission
discouraged this sort of thing, but that
the commission was only in its infan-
Cy and did not know how much au-
thOrity along the line of control was
vested IN the commission. The com
mission fixed June l9 as a date tor a
hearing on the following petitions: BY
Secretary of State HOuser for a reduc-
ton of rates on livestock between Mon

Northwestern roads; by A. II. Kros-

Milwaukee road for a joint rate on lum-

Hall, of Stevens Point, against several
roads for discrimination in hauling
private cars ana Edward Gulder, Of

Sound In 1902 forest fires iu Oregon

forest fire loss. Yearly forest fires are

AS the chief OF the forest service
suggests, the loss by grea. forest fires
is loss very difficult to estimate:
the destruction of the timber is Il
more serious loss than that of tho
cattle end buildings, for Il carries
with Z the impoverishmeri Of a whole
region for tens or even hundreds OF
years afterward. The loss OF the
stumpage value of the timber at the
time of the fire Is but small part of
the damage to the neighborhood. The

University International Club.
OF the many student organizations
at the University of Wisconsin, none
shows the cosmopolitan character of
the student body so definitely as does
tho International club, which mas just
been affiliated with the Association or
Cosmopolitan cluus OF various uni
versities of the world. No single de-
partment of student activity is so sure
to carry the name and fame of "Old
Wisconsin" to the ends of the earth as
is this club. since the one requisite OF
membership is that student be or
foreign birth or residence. The growth
of popularity of the University OF
Wisconsin among foreign students in
the four years since the organization
of the club is indicated by the rapid
increase in membership, and the large
number of nationalities represented at
it's meetings. There the big blondes
of the Scandinavian countries meet
the dark, handsome types from the
romance nations, the man from Cam

YOUNG ! ATHLETES
FIND TRAINING
DIFFICULT.

Captain Reed of Lowell High School
has experienced difficulty in finding
track on which his men can train. The
cinder path at Geary and Scott streets
has been utilized for municipal pur-
poses. Recently Captain Read, Ibos,
Hammer, Smith, McRae, Rafael Nc
Nell. Bressi Barrows and Lee, all of last
years squad, have been iourneying
over the Alameda High School track to
train.
The invitation of the wilmerding
School to use its track for training
purposes, however. LOOKS better to Read
than a trip across the bay two or
three times week.
Last week was the first time Lowell
men were ever seen training on the
same track with Lick and Wilmerding
athletes. Lowell has always come a
close second in all the track meets
with Lick. The results have often
been close. but since the Polytechnic
High School was dismissed from the
league a friendlier feeling has sprung
up between these institutions and now
there is even more chance for the
athletes TO become better acquainted.
The only objection to having the two
most likely competitors in league
train on the same track is the difficulty
of getting a line" on what each school
is doing.
