PLANS NOT YET DECIDED UPON
Manager Carsill Talks About Extension
of Southeastern Road

La Crosse Chronicle of Sunday: 'In
answer to a query as to what founda-
tion there was for the persistent reports
that the La Crosse and Southeastern Is
to be extended southeast from its pres
ent southern terminus w. 8. Cargill
said yesterday that nobody knows where
or when the railroad Is to be extended
at the present time.
For months past, in fact ever since
the road was completed from La Crosse
60 Viroqua, newspapers of this vicinity
have frequently printed stories of ru-
mors that the road was to be made a
part of one of the big systems. The
most persistent theory expounded was
that connections would be made with
the Illinois Central at Dodgeville. Some
have thought that the road would g.
through to Madison and there connect
with one of the big lines, forming a
feeder through territory which now
has no direct railroad connections with
any large center.
1t is a we'll known fact and is not
denied by Mr.. Cargill that surveyors are
working through the territory southeast
of Viroqua with view of determining
the most feasible and direct route to
one of the two points aforementioned,
but that nothing definite as to plans for
any extension to the road has been de-
cided, is the purport of Mr.. CargilPs
statement
The Cashton Record prints the latest
story of the work OF the surveyors, an
item In this weeks issue stating:
/, The Southeastern surveyors have been
here gain and opened up new survey.
The time they came IN on the VIM.
Brody farm, south Of the village and
went clear out on the ridge this side of
Rockton. They evidently did not fancy
this and are now trying new one mp
Bohemian valley to Portland and then
across to Cashton. Rumor has it that
the company want short cut TO Madison
and if they can get through this section
easier than by way of Westby or Viro'
qua they will do it. There seems to be
no enthusiasm worked up and the people
in this section don't seem to care wheth-
CT the new road comes this way or not.
Iu some respects it would be nice, but
In others it would be detriment.

NOT so DAMAGED AS REPORTED
The Tobacco Crop is in Better Shape
Than Feared it Might be.

Two weeks ago it was believed that
considerable damage had been done to
tobacco in the curing sheds because
of continued damp weather An in.
spection by buyers and owners brings
the cheering news that the damage is
far less than predicted Cooler weather
has prevailed of late and has proven
very helpful TO the curing OF the crop.
That there will be some damage from
shed burn and pole rot is generally con-
ceded, but to what extent cannot yet De
foretold, which seems almost invariably
due to crowding of the curing sheds or
negligence regarding ventilation.
Buyers arc still travelling through the
growing districts picking up a crop
here and there, but the excitement of
weeks ago has subsided Prices, how
ever, are quite firm.

Relative to damage to crops the
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter comments:
Reference was made last week in the
disc overy of some shed damage in the
curing crop, Dealers who have made a
more critical examination of the
country sheds report that in most cases
where stem rot has been found was ia
the later harvested portion of the crop
that had been crowded into driveways
and sheds without sufficient attention
being paid TO proper ventilation, Rather
than go TO the expense Of providing ad-
ditionalc carlng room growers have taken
chan, e upon crowding the sheds, with
the resuit Lnat they must suffer some
loss for their indiscretion Such grow.
ers must have realized at the time they
were assuming long chances and if such
errors Lake trouble at the time of de-
livery they may prove rather costly
ones. 1t is no ways probable any great
amount of the crop has suffered from
stem rot but at the present prices grow
ers could hardly afford to permit such
losses through their own folly The ex
perience of the 1900 crop is still fresh in
the minds of most growers, nor do many

Western Maryland Defeated.

Lamden's sensational so yard run followed
by Riders plunge through the line won the
foot fall game for Mount Washington last Sat
urday from Western Maryland College by
12-6 The contest was an excellent one
and nearly 1000 persons were present.
Mount Washington kicked off in the first
half but by good consistent line bucking the
visitors worked the ball up the field, and early
in the game sent Fullback Adkins over the
line for the first touchdown. Turner kicked
goal. The visitors then kicked from the cen
ter of the gridiron to the 20-yard line, and
Church made an advance of 20 yards before
he was successfully tackled. The locals then
plaved with a determination TO even up the
score, and by plunging through their oppo-
pent's line for gains of from three TO five yards
carried the ball to within 10 yards of the Wis
itors' goal before losing it on downs. But
then Western Maryland Immediately punted,
and shortly after the half ended.
The visitors kicked off in the second halt,
and the ball never left the home players
hands after that until it was finally carried
| over the line for touchdown by Rider and a
| goal kicked by Bayless. Rider is entitled to
most of the credit of the tie in the score, as it
was he who plunged through the line of the
college team time and again until finally the
visitors were practically helpless from the
persistent ramming that they received.
Mount Washington then kicked the ball up
the field and regained it shortly afterward on
a punt. 1t was then that Lambden made his
sensational run of so yards, which brought
him within two yards of the goal. Rider
plunged through the line for touchdown, and
Bayless kicked neat goal from difficult an
gle. A few minutes later time was called.
