Mr.. Jenkins is an eanest speaker,

He is reputed as being close attend
ant upon the sessions Of congress and
declares that he is opposed to all cor
porate oppression, says that as corpor-
ations are creatures of the state, they
are subject to state control. He de-
clares that the people are not mad in
their opposition to corporate oppres-

gently in earnest, that the awakening

nothing but full and fair and conclu
sive solution of the great question will

MELLEN GRASSLAND Meeting
Next Tuesday Will Determine Much
of the Seasons Campaign.
Adjourned.

A meeting Of delegates of the various
counties will be held at Mellen next
Tuesday where the affairs of the Grass
land association will be considered and
plans laid for the approaching season.
This year two cars will be put on the
roads and kept out for the larger part
of the year. The start will be made
as early in September as possible.
The work of arranging will be an
extensive one. The delegates from
Rusk county are devoting much time
to preparation and if all the twelve
counties are as well represented, there
will be business from the start.
The printed matter is an important
matter, involving probably not less
than 100, 900 copies Of a48 or 60 page
periodical, consuming ten to fifteen
tons of book paper. The News will
have bid on the work.

and we have also faith that the people
of Winona would do the full measure Of
their duty when the right time arrived.
That time is at hand. Letus impress the
coming visitors that Winona is in dead
earnest and, as a united people, we are
deeply interested in making our beauti-
full city a greater and better city in every
way; that we want new industries, more
business and a population of $4,000 by
1870 Mr.. Randle is doing his part; let
us do ours.
The long campaign conducted by the
Republican, Herald for greater Winona
has been an arduous one. Ithas cover
ed nearly year of effort, but it has
been worth while. 1t sought to incul-
cate among Winnona faith in the pos
sibilites of their own city, and to unite
them in movement along the lines of
modern city building that would solve
the problem of a greater city. We are
gratified today to know that all our eff
in sight, and the early future will see
things doing in Winona that will make
every citizen with it's present and future
prospects. Nothing can stop move
ment of this far-reaching character
when it is once under way, and nobody
can foretell how great it may become.
We have always contended that all Wi
mona needed was start, and that once
substantially given it would go forward
in way that will surprise it's own peo-
pie and attract capital and enterprise
from all over the northwest. If a
greater city and greater industrial
expansion will provide, among other
things, opportunities for the young peo-
pie of Winona as they pass from our
schools into the businss world, it will be
worth all the effort made to secure it;
but it will do more It will add to the
value Of every business interest, and
provide better opportunities for every
class of citizens.
AS we have said, greater Winona
will soon be knocking at our door. Let
us be ready to welcome it. Next week
SHill witness the start long needed to
boost Winona forward. We will have
all the factories we can take care of,
and more people will soon be coming to
see what is going on. There is work
for the Business Mems association, the
Board of Trade and people generally.
In going after a great Winona let US
see the mark at so, 900 and pull hard to
get there. Hurrah for Winona

THAT $4,000 CLOVER
Report Verified BY Businessmen
Whose Jugment on A Field Would
Pass Anywhere

Bruce, Wis, July 16 The report in
last weeks issue of the Ladysmith News
of the r. A. Austin Land company's
$40 per acre alsike clover attracted so
much attention and discussion that the
undersigned went down to the field, four
miles below Bruce, to see what it was
like. When we arrived, the man who
bought this crop at tweuty dollars ner
acre was moving it. We found the
grass perfect mat, lying when moved,
knee deep upon the ground. The great
problem is to get it cured. Members
of onr party who have observed care
fully the production Of grass in many
sections claiming to be great for grass
production, say they never saw anything
approaching the field viewed today.
Mr. Austin, as you readers know,
stands over six feet high and by actual
test we found much of this alsike, when
raised up, higher than he When it is
remembered that this alsike is fine,
slender grass, thick as grass can grow
and largely over six feet long, it is easy
to see that it is an enormous crop war
ranting the judgment of the man who
paid $40 per acre for it.
The purchaser believes that he will
cut at least four tons of hay per acre
from this field and our jugment endors-
es his estimate.
This is the first crop from field
hastily prepared last year and sowed
to oats ahd alsike late in the season.
1t is certainly marvellous crop which
we believe cannot be duplicated any
where in the whole northwest.

Insulating Butterflies.

The butterfly YVES blue and trans
parent. AS through blue glass it's tiny
heart could be seen beating inside it's
body and the professor read a news
paper article through its lovely blue
wings This" he said, is the ptero-
poda, a Mediterranean butterfly, 1t
eats fish. 1t eats fish. On its tongue
are rows of pointed hooks. They serve
as teeth. This beautiful creature
would turn up its nose at garden of
roses and lilies, but it would feast
ecstatically upon putrid eel Now
and then a pteropoda is found on the
Florida or the California coast. It is
only abundant, though, in the Med
iterranean."

A letter was received yesterday from
Mr.. RandIe dated at Cincinnati, IN
which he says that he expects to. reach
Winona next week, between the 10th
and 18th, with a large delegation Of
factory men, representatives OF large
industrial interests The party VIII
meet in Chicago and take a night tram
for Winona, reaching the city in the
morning Mr.. Randle says he will send
an announcement of the exact date OF
their coming, so that Winona citizens
can be on hand to meet them: The del
egation of manufacturers, he writes,
will number from Is to 20, and with
them will come others who desire to
look over the opportunities offered here.
Iron interests are largely represented
among those coming, but there will also
be diversified industries represented, as
it is Mr.. Randle's plan to have a variety
of factories suitable to this locality.
He writes that things look good to
him, and from the tone of his letter he
is evidently well pleased with his efforts
to secure good factories for Winona,
those that will employ high class labor,
and most likely to become good citizens.
He is absolutely certain of his ground
now, as he seems to have had greater
encouragement than he expected, and
he comes back deeply impressed with
the conviction that greater Winona IS
now assured beyond all question. We
have known Mr.. .Randle intimately for
a number of years, and always found
him extremely conservative in his prom
ises. He is slayer in any movement
of his character, always saying but lit
tie, prefering to let the results accom-
plished speak for themselves. This is
precisely his attitude in regard to the
Winona movement; but he has been
frank to admit that he considers the out
look better than at any other place he
has ever worked. His one great pur-
pose is to make greater Winona posi-
tive success.
He is coming back here imbued with
this spirit of success, but no one man
can do everything. He cant move q
whole city full Of people if they don't
want to move. He can't accomplish
impossibilities, but he can make a great
er and better city of Winona if he has
the help of it's own citizens cordially and
freely given. With success now within
our reach, let US be up and doing. We
have had faith that good would come
out Of this movement from the start

JENKINS VISITS CITY
The Congressman and Candidate For
Reelection Spoke to Ladysnith
People Tuesday Evening.


Hon. John j. Jenkins of Chippewa
Falls, who during the last twelve years
has been representative of the Eleventh
district in congress, called upon Lady
smith people Tuesday and spoke brief
ly Tuesday evening at Worden's opera
house.
Mr.. jenkins was not feeling we'll and
cut his talk short.
He told the audience how difficult it
is for new member to get started in
influence in the house and related with
much stress the Importance of the posi-
tion he holds as chairman of the COM
mittee on the judiciary, placing it at
the head of all the committees, al
though the concensus of opinion pre-
cedes it with at least four or five com
mittees He named several who had
won fame and were chairman of the
judiciary committee, among them Daniel
Webster, James Buchanan, James A.
Garfield, James G. Blaine and D. B.
Henderson. It was pointed out that
the position was more difictlt to fill
than in the days of Webster, because
then the telegraph, telephone and post
al system did not place the chairman in
quick touch with the people. This is
an interesting point and might have
been elaborated-why the existence of
means of communication makes the
work harder, and why, as the judiciary
committee deals with constitutional
questions, it matters about communica-
ton with the people.
The congressman told the people
that the trusts went out of existence
several years ago and that in their
place we have corporations that cannot
be reached by the federal laws because
they are state institutions. Thus there
would appear to be no question of
| trusts or combinations as far as the
federal government is concerned, al
though the paper combine was recently
| knocked into smithereens and the de-
partment of justice is now reported to
| be after something over a hundred al
legged illegal combines. Then there is
the watch combine which maintains
prices so high that an Illinois congress
man proved that American watches
were bought in England, re-imported
1Indnr tha refund section of tha tariff
law and sold for less than the price
| fixed by the, combine displaying a
photo of show window displaying
2400 of these re-imported watches.
Then there are the gun manufacturers
who refuse to sell to dealers who under
sell the retail prices fixed by them.
And the ammunition manufacturers who
fix such price that large dealers es-
tablish plants Of their own. Doubtless
| when the congressman comes back and
