Evidences of Progress.

The meeting of the Grassland as
sociation at Mellen last Tuesday evinced
evidence of activity and progress that
could not escape the observance of the
most 1istless looker-on.
The meeting was not very large-but
it was active. The delegates were from
half dozen countries and represented
high order of busidess talent and a
willingness to literally capitalize any
effort calculated to further the effort
to fill Northern Wisconsin with indus
trious people.
The News is impressed with the i'm
portance of this movement. Things
may not go as each county or each in
dividual may desire, but there is in it
an immense amount of energy and po-
tentcy that is destined to expend itself
to the future benefit of all interested
in the vast DOMAIN that is certain to be-
come one of the most populous and rich
est in the great northwest.
Be pusher-help. the thing along.
If more funds should be needed to com
plete the work or make present plans
more effective, come forward with the
cash-it will pay dividends. The future
is along while you have faith in the
great development that is to be-let it
be as soon as possible.
The Grassland car will show hundreds
of thousands of people what Northern
Wisconsin is good for. It is a case Of
Mahomment going to the mountain.
In this case the mountain will be
brought back

committee. The committee has head
quarters in New York.
This, of course, is the right way to
conduct a campaign, and the appeal
from the committee ought to meet with
general response by those who desire
to seek a republican congress elected
this fall. It's the right way to do this
sort Of financing. Put it up to the peo-
pie. If they don't want republican
congress, let them say so, not only by
their ballots but by Withholding the
funds necessary to caray on a legitimate
campaign. And when thessresult is &C
complished, the general public will be
entitled to take peculiar credit to itself
for having had active part in the achiev-
ment.
1t may be safely assumed, no doubt,
that subscriptions need not be limited
to 81. Minneapolis Journal.

the facts?
The district attorney passes; upon

I The News has in the past pointer out
the situation in this particular thefacts=

It. is a. matter of caraless disregard for
statutory limitation or careful atten-
1tion to- the ''ballasting and ballaoning"
of accounts. Leastwise it is serious;
matter to the tax payer.
The effect of the election of Maloney,
as district attorney is clear. He has
the courage of his convictions, He,

There will be no more fees paid than
the law calls for.
And there might be an. appendix to.

county in Wisconsin is now bringing an

that have been collected in the past.
The amount aggregates $4,000 now.

No Fat FRYING in This.

Running a great national campaign
on popular subscriptions Of 81 each is
a new feature of national politics, but
the disclosures with regard to large po-
litical contributions from the insurance
companies and the demonstration to the
great corporations that political con-
tributions will not secure political pref
erence has created the necessity Of rely
ing upon popular enthusiasm and party
loyalty to finance the work of carrying
on the next congressional campaign.
Mr.. Sherman, chairman of the repub-
ican national congressional committee,
has sent out circular letter to news
papers asking them to print notice
to republicans informing members of
the party how anxious the committee
is to have every republican in close
touch and working in harmony with the
congressional committee in favor of a
republican congress. The record of the
party and Theodore Roosevelt's person
ality are the considerations put forward
as those upon which success must be
achieved if at all, and these are to be
regarded as the central thought in the
campaign.
But in order that the necessary ma
chinery may be operated, tits necessary
to have some money, and republicans
are urged to contribute 81 each, with
the personal consideration that to each
subscriber of that amount will be sent
the republican national campaign tex
book and all documents issued by the

Shadow Embroidery.

Stamp your design on the wrong
side of the material and work the.
flowers, leaves and large figures in a
close fagotting or cat stitch on the
wrong side. The small stitch, which
will show on the right side, makes an
outline and the center of the leaf or
flower is prettily filed in with the
faggoting stitch, which shows through
the sheer material. The stems should
be done in outline stitch. 1t is very
easy work and quickly done. You can
take a few lessons at any of the large
department stores il you go to the art
needlework department.

CITY OF ASHLAND.
Impressions of1an Aonr Spent. IN the
CITY

IMPRESSIONS OILdn AOuI SDSICa III. the
City.
At the close Oft the Grassland meet,
ing at Mellen Tuesday, we: took a con-
venient train TO Ashland. where we
spent couple hours under the guidance
of George e Kug1tz Of that city. The
country between Mellen and Ashland
presents vast nlateau bearing every
evidence Of great productiVeness., We
Of the south slope anticipate the diff
Guilty of cultivating the heavy clay of
that section-but, be that, as it may,
the fact remains that there Isl a vast,
area that some day will yield rzlagnif-
cent harvests.
The city of Ashland impresses> you
with it's evidences of stability. 1t is a
city of order Of fate. IL has, come as,
a necessity and of necessity ralst re-
main. It's, style, fringe, decoration
may become greater or less according
to the Withstand fancies of the people,,
the size may be stimulated, but Ash
land in all it's. material features must
exist and must exist where il is as the
product of civilization and geography
We went out to one. of the ore docks
there are three. The docks are built
out into the bay Built of Norway
pine posts, twelve inches square and,
we should say, eighty feet high. ten or
a dozen or more to the running yard
These docks extend out into the bay
far enough so that by the tinae you
have doubled their length you will have
an appetite for supper Their sturc-
ture would afford material fox day S
examination instead of the few mo
ments we had at our disposal We
may add that trains of ore are hauled
over the tops of those structures and
automatically dumped liz chutes leading
to the whalebacks that transport them.
A monster. vessel is loaded with less
human effort than is required to exca-
vate posthole.
The only other institution we had
time to reach was the combined smelt-
ing and wood alcohol works. This is
a mammoth institution that runs all
the time Twenty-Five large charcoal
kilns are constantly burning with the
simultaneous production of charcoal and
wood alcohol.
The charcoal is used in the blast
works where ore is converted into pig
iron. Here all the economic features
of vast production prevail. Trains of
ore are hauled into the works to be
handled by power. At one end of the
works you see the iron ore dumped
from the cars; at the other you see
the hot pigs of iron steaming in the
trenches of the sand bottomed floor
the rest is mechanical. 1t is all vast,
you look and become amazed, time
passes as you ponder upon the immens-
ity of the process, but your train won t
wait and you hasten away-away from
one of the institutions of Ashland.

Tt e Iowa Contest.

Elsewhere will be round summary
of the conditions in the republican party
in Iowa; a resume of the successive
stages of the contest, and the local and
national bearings of the outcome by our
Sioux City correspondent. We suppose
that to the ma jority of Iowa republicans
the former is the more absorbing; GER
tainly it is to those who are concerned
in the triumph of Mr.. Perkins. Possibly
numbers of those who are supporting
Mr.. Cummins are moved by considera-
tons that do not reach beyond the bor-
ders of the state.
With the element of local interest the
Dispatch has little part. 1t finds in the
personality of Mr.. Cummins much to ad
mire and on which to base wish for his
success. But is it what Mr. Cummins
stands for in the national, more than the
local field, that has caused the Dispatch
to espouse his side of the contest and to
give him what aid it can
Two factors of national Importance en-
Ger into the contest. The question Of
governmental control of railways; wheth
err state or national, is involved in this
struggle. Mr.. Curnnins advocated ma
tional laws to control the power of rail-
ways, to say what should be paid for
carriage of products. He aroused a
sentiment in his state that was powerful
enough to change the relations of most
Of Iowas congressional delegation and
bring them to lukewarrn support Of
President Roosevelt. This aroused the
ire, and provoked the opposition of the
railway interests, and the forced con-
gressmen vented their chagrm1 in covert
or open opposition to the governor.
Though rate control is established, re
venge is. to be visited upon those inau-
entail in getting it. They are to be
taught the danger of opposing west
ed'' interests.
In another aspect the struggle for the
gubernatioral nomination takes on ma
tional Importance. Mr.. Cummins is the
''Iowa idea" incarnate. That idea is
that a tariff that shelters monopoly
should be sharply revised. Mr.. Cum
MINIS has been its foremost exponent.
He insists that ''the consumer has as
much right to competition as the manu-
facturer has to protection" He thus
offends standpatism mortally. It knows
that it's life is at stake. Over the ma
ton it looks with anxious eye on Iowa.
If in that stalwart republican strong
hold majority of the republicans de-
clare that the consumer has rights
which congress is bound to respect, the
effect in other states will be great
The movement in the party, everywhere
evident, for revision that will reduce,
will become irresistible When that
happens protection is doomed and it's
adherents and benefciaries know it..
These are what make the contest in

About Advertising.

The Rae Lake Leader comes to- osar
table with one full-page and another
double page advertisement. This is, a
common thing there. and is is being
done by people who have, bean constant
advertisers for years,
They ought to know whesher it pays.
To them, that is the proposition To
others, the fact that these stores are
successful should count.
Advertising vigorous, advertising in
live newspapers the handspring of
business enterprises. And the main
spring should always be wound up.
