BUILDING PERMITS.

The Board of Public Works should issue building
permits rapidly possible, so that the restora-
ton of the city may proceed with the utmost
rapidity while the summer season is with u.s. We
can do twice much during the next six months
as later on when frequent rains will interfere with
building operations more less No procrastina-
ton OF the sort displayed by those officials re-
sponsible for the chimney iasco should be allowed
in the issuance of these building permits When
ever property-owner calls for a permit and can
show that he is legally entitled to it it should
be passed over to him the spot Any delay on
the part Of the board its employees should be
avoided Any clerk neglecting to issue permit
on proper demand should be reported and his
case promptly attended to- This is no time for
putting applicants for permits off with the stale
and irritating answer, tomorrow
This is not a complaint nor criticism but an
admonition. We want to get to work and rush
things along while the season is in our favor
Never put off till tomorrow what can be done
today. The observance Of this wise old adage has
saved many careful and alert man his fortune.
Furthermore, stitch in time saves nine One

BETS ON TIMBER LAND
RESULT OF UNIVERSITY EXPERT
MENT is ASTONISHING.
Analysis Proves Sugar Staple Tests
Higher IN North Soil Than in Rich
Loan of Dane County.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 26.-[ Specially
The Wisconsin university experiment,
after a years test, has discovered that
sugar beets can be grown more success
fully on cut-over lands than on any other
kind in the state. The experiment was
conducted on the farm belonging to the
sub-station located at Iron River.
The analysis Of beets grown on the
Iron River farm SHOWS u higher percen-
age of both sugar content and purity
than beets grown in any other part OF
the state. Tho sugar content Of the
beets is 1863 per cent, as compared with
14.I, the average for the state. The
purity percentage of the Iron River
beetS was 93.3 as compared with So,
the average of beets produced in all
parts of the state. Both the sugar con :
tent and the purity of these beets We're
higher than the average beets grown at
the experiment farm in Madison, under
the most favorable circumstances. From
this it is concluded that the beet sugar
industry, the beets being grown on cut
OveS lands, can be made TO yield enor-
nous returns.
On the Iron river farm the beets were
planted thirty inches apart, which is Il
much wider distance than on the Madi-
son farm, and the yield was nine tons
an acre. 1t is thought that by lessening
the distance between the beets, this
yield can be brought up to eighteen or
twenty tons an acre, exceeding the Mad
ison crop. Next year the beets will be
grown with view of getting large
tonnage.
One of the interesting features of the
experiment, as it will be continued next
season. is the test to be made of the
various fertilizers, and of muck and
neat in enrlching the red sand soil,
which is typical of the Iron River coun-
try. A sparing use of the muck and peat
found in the swampy places, it is
thought, will be of much benefit to the
soil, as it largely increases the capacity
of the soil to retain moisture.
