than any in Chicago, and in capacity
for business is expected to equal the
facilities of the Boston South station,
the greatest single center of traffic in
this country.
1t became evident to President
Hpghitt of the Northwestern sever al
years ago that the rapid growth Of
Chicago, the development of the con-
tiguous territory, and the increase in
transcontinental traffic speedily
would make it necessary to enlarge
the depot and terminal facilities in
this city. With it's station and yards
located on a piece of ground shaped
like a f1atiron and terminating with a
drawbridge at it's point, it was clea
that the Northwestern must find a
more extensive entrance to the 5city if
it was to meet the demands of its L
creasing busir oSe.
Impressed with these ideas, Mr..
Hughitt, five years ago, without TAX
ing anyone into his confidence, began
to make the plans which are now be-
ing carried out After having care
fully considered the conditions with
which he had to deal, he, about eigh-
teen months ago, employed John F.
Wallace, former chief engineer of the
Panama Canal, as consulting engineer
and since then Mr.. Wallace has been
constantly engaged in working out tn }
details So secret was President
Hughitt's purpose kept that only
within the last year have his subordi-
mates begun to realize the drift of the
statements and estimates of various
kinds which he has been having them
lay before him.
Many plans were worked out, and,
after investigation, rejected, before
the present ones were finally accepted
as best adapted to meet all the posi-
bilities and probabilities of the future

JAPS SETTLING
IN WISCONSIN
COLONY ALREADY ESTABLISHED
IN PIERCE COUNTY.
MEN ALL ALERT ANE Busy
Rumors of Intentions Are Rife But the
Leader, Or. T. kuma, is Silent
Wary of Newspaper Men-EVdent
Purpose to Buy Land, But the Men
Work as Artisans.

Red Wing, Mimi, Dec 9.-The in
vasion of the Mississippi valley by the
Japanese has begun and has been only
briefly noted in the press dispatches.
A small company has already discov-
cred Bay City, Wis, on the Mississip-
pi, five miles below Red Wing, and
located there. Many more are to fol-
low their countrymen in the spring.
Rumors about the little Japs and the
great things they are to do have been
current for some time, and in order to
ascertain the facts a reporter visited
Bay City to investigate. He found
the village alive with activity, with
many new buildings going up.
A topic of absorbing interest to
every inhabitant of the town, and TO
the people of the northwest as well. is
the Japs and what they are going to
do There are many different stories
as to their plans and purposes.
Information regarding them was OBJ
tanned from many different sources.
Everyone was eager to pour into ones
ears what they knew and what they
surmised about these people who have
suddenly come into the quiet town
from the land of the mikado, except
the Japanese themselves.
There are at present nineteen or
twenty of the little brown men who
have their headquarters in the Tyler
house. The leader is DR.. T. Kuma,
who, with his wife and little one, di-
reefs the affairs of the colony. In this
band are sixteen or seventeen young
Japanese. They are all vigorous,
alert and busy, and were found doing
carpenter and mason work and en-
gagged in various other kinds of en-
ployment.
DR.. Kuma was approached, but as
soon as he was aware that news
paper man was talking to him he be-
came reticent. He speaks English
fluently and said that he was gradu-
ate of Stanford and Clark universe
ties, but upon being asked what his
plans were in regard to Bay City he
smiled composedly and said he was
very busy When he was further i'm
portuned as to when he would have
moment to spare he made it definite
ly understood in suave, composed
tones that he had no moments to spare
at any time, at least to a newspaper
man who wanted to find out his plans.
However, the facts, probabilities and
possibilities concerning the Japanese
colony at Bay City are something like
this: Early last September DR.. Kulna
delivered a lecture at the Methodist
church in Bay City. Evidently he has
had in mind the finding of suitable,
location for a Japanese colony in this.
country, and made some inquiries as
to the purchase of plot of ground in
that vicinity.

AssembIyman's Bill Will Have Board
of Control Support.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. 2-As-
semblyman Thomas A. Roycraft, of
the second Chippewa district, will
introduce a bill in the next legisla-
ture providing for the erection of a
building at the state penitentiary
where binding twine can be manu-
featured by the prisoners. He has
received letter from Gustav Kues
termann, a member of the state board
of control, in which Mr.. Kuester-
mann assures him of cooperation.
Mr.. Kuestermann states that he
has made a thorough study of the
question of making binding twine in
the Minnesota penitentiary at Still
water, and has come to the conclu-
sion that there is profit in its man
ufacture for the state, while it also
has tendency to reduce the pres
ent high price of trust-made Irvine.
Mr. Kuestermann will make a re-
port to the Wisconsin legislature
on the question as he studied it in
Minnesota, and will recommend that
from $500, 900 to 100000 be appro-
priated for the necessary building
and machinery for twine-making at
the penitentiary at Waupun.

Departmental life in Washington has furnished the foundation for a number of books during the last few wears. The latest, "A Government Countess" by Martha Lemon Schneiti- CT, is attracting considerable atten- ton. To those living in Washington what is meant by government countess is we'll understood, but to others it may require some eHplana- ton. It is title given to the female employcs of the treasury department engaged in counting the notes coming from the bureau of printing and en- craving. The design of the little book is to noint out some of the many pit falls placed for tue feet of young and suileless girls who come to Washing ton to accept position. In this case Mrs Graham. also q government clerk. is the tenlptress, and senator, q member. and a treasury official are each interested in getting young girl into their tolls. Hundreds of young girls have passed through exactly the same experiences as befcll the heroine of the book. and hundreds of others will. for the temptations are always there and the tempters are found i'll every walk of official life, and they have always ready tempters to aid them. The author brings her herolne through her trials scathclesS, but It was more through fortunate circum- stances than from any other cause The story is not sensational, 1t is not intended to be. but is pleasantly told, and it would perhaps be helpful if it could be placed iu thc hands of all young women who go to Washington to enter departmental life.

 RIGA, Feb. 6.--In spite of the pres ence of large garrison, re-enforced by the police forces. and the employ ment of severe oppressive measures, the revolutionists are waging desper- ate war against the authorities in Riga itself. where the government is less firmly fixed than in the remote regions of the provinces.
 There are constant collisions in the streets, and during the search of a building occupied by the Lettish Tenn perance society the lights were turned out and a hot fusiIlade intercbanged between the revolutionists and the gov ernment forces in the darkness. The revolutionists left two dead behind, and if is thought they carried off others.
 In the provinces the policy of sum- mary execution of captured revolution lsts continues. They are usually sen fenced to hanging instead of shooting. The troops are retaliating with the torch for the destruction of country houses. The ruins of every burned castle looks down upon the ashes of consumed bamlets and cottages.
