MANY TORRID DAYS.
Most circulating Heat of the Sea-

cooler, and that the wave was
southbound. It arrived Thursday
With a shower and a season of torrid
temperature with the mercury
camping in the n1neries came to a
welcome close.
The local thermometers have
reached points higher on many oc-
casions than were registered the
past week, but complaints from the
heat were heard on every side. It
was not the high reach of the
mercury during these hot days that
made it so uncomfortable, but it
was the humidity of the atmos-
phere.
There has been great deal of
moisture in the air and the humid
ity has been intense. The air has
been so filed with watery vapor
that the perspiration has not had a
cHdnce 70 eVapOfate, and every
man, woman and child in Lancaster
has felt clammy and sticky and,
therefore, doubtly uncomfortable
under the beat. General Humidity
was the root of the evil aid he
worked overtime.
And then the mosquitoes? Are
you all fringed around the wrists
and ankles-if you wear low shoes
with bite bumps? Never before
have Lancaster people suffered so
with these imitation JERSEY pests.
The heavy foliage, the frequent
rains and the lack of breezes give the

that human vigilance and endur-
ance cannot combat.

MINING NOTES.
Notes of the Mines for Past Week
Local and Otherwise.

The fact Is undenia BILE that it will
be absolutely necessary to interest
outside capital to come into the
district and develop many of the
propositions already discovered.
There Is no getting around the fact
that great many of those who
have placed what money they could
spare in drilling propositions, are
just about all in" A great many,
not only in Lancaster, but thou
sands throughout the district, got
the fever, and thousands u
thousands of dollars now lie dormant
in good cuttings merely because the
work Of development does not pro-
coed because those who own the
prospects have not the means, per-
sonally, to buy the necessary
machinery.
1t is amazing to think of the
wealth that will be taken from the
ground-wealth in zine and lead
when even a half of the prospects
already discovered showing good
cuttings are financed and developed!
Note what three good mines alone
have meant to PlatteviHe, to say
nothing Of the other excellent pro-
ducers in other parts of the district
It means everything to have these
properties developed. They are
practically worthless, N a sense, as
long as they are idle.
Outside capital is ready to risk
its money in properties that give
reasonable assurance of giving good
returns, and it is to outside capital
that the district must turn if it is
to reap a portion OF the profits to
which it is entitled. Properties
that cannot be financed and develop
ed within themselves should be
placed on the market and at
reasonable figure. Capital Is not
paying fancy prices unless it can

out his career of public life. He

Just measure compelling every man
to bear his burden as a citizen. A
constitutional amendment is now

question.
The practice of watering stock by

increase capital stock by solution.
sell 1t in the open market and the
first investment costs them nothing.
Then they charge rates and fares
sufficient to produce dividends on a
fictitious and dishonest valuation.
This injustice should be stopped.
But the governor can't himself ac-
complish these things, the right
men must be elected to the legis-
lature. He has no power to pass
measures. LaF GILLETTE is going about
the state declaring that Davidson
would stand still and be different
than heretofore IF I am-unsafe.
SAID Mr.. Davidson, as he leaned for
ward towards the audience and
raised his voice to a louder tone.
"and LaFollette knew that I was
unsafe, then he betrayed his trust
to the people Of Wisconsin, when he
resigned and made me governor
two years ago" This met with
thanksgiving and cheers.
The strongest passages in the
governors address were loudly
cheered. He IS an easy taIker, has
good delivery and clinches his argu-
ments in a business like manner.
At the close of his remarks, Atty.
Hall of Madison was called upon for
a few words and the well known
lawyer fairly captivated his hear
ers. The speaker outlined Gov.
Davidson's unique career in a
masterful manner, punctured Sena-
tor La Follette's arguments dero-
gatory to the governor, threw Len
root IN the lime light for the time
being, exposed the proceedings of
secret meetings instituted by Sena-
tor LaFollette by which the Repub-
lican slate was fixed months ago at
a conference in Chicago exactly con
trary to the provisions of that pet
primary law that is supposed to do
away with all machine politics, and
in other ways threw bombs into the
LaFollette camp
Atty. Hall has stumped the state
for La Toilette for decade and his
remarks produced a decided sensa-
ton.
Coy. Davidson mingled among the
people here until after dinner when
he proceeded to Fennimore where
he spoke in the afternoon to large
and enthusiastic audience, going to
Boscobel for an evening address
where cordial reception awaited
him also.

EDITOR HERALD: Lancaster, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-The Heralds arrive
slowly but surely, sometimes IN
punches Of ten or twelve, but thanks
to Uncle Sans efficient mail sys-
tenn, bat one is missing in the space
Of a year; certainly a good mark
for our mail carriers, who bring it
here overland from APART, (the
nearest sea -port) a distance of about
eighty miles and in spite of fire.
quent bad roads, swollen streams,
and rainy weather, the pack train
of doughty little Philippine ponies
seldom tails to arrive everyTuesday
evening with our long looked for
letters and papers.
In the last Herald | noticed an
announcement relative to Memorial
Day services and wondered if the
people back home imagined that we
over here, isolated from the civilized
world, and engrossed in our en-
deavors to make cousin Jonathans
out of these new proteges Of ours,
ever forgot our duties on our Nat
iOnal holidays; on the contrary it
seems that every American in this
country on such occasions, reveals
more enthusiasm and patriotism
than he would, were he in Gods
country. Tugnegawe is the largest
city in the Cabagan valley, has a
population of about 10 thousand
natives, 100 Span1ards, 40 Ameri-
cans and few scattering Germans,
Chinese and Japs. For our last cele-
bration our donations amounted to
$4,000, $500 Of which were contribut-
ed by the Americans and the rest
by the natives and Spaniards. It
was the fourth Fourth for this city
and a great success; the best feat
ure was the parade led by the
Municipal and Constabulary bands,
followed by Ship of State, school
children, Constabulary police, NUM-
cipal police, floats representing diff
ferept industries and occupations
in the city and surrounding country.
Next in order was an extensive and
wellprepared program. In the
afternoon the races; horse races,
l mile, 2 miles and ] mile; sack
races, potato races, carabno race, 300
meters, and foot races, 100 meters
and 200 meters; prizes were given
to winners. The horse races, nine
III all, were Of the bare back, jockey
type and owing to size and kind Of
horses, of course could not compare
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-08-25
Letter from the Philippines

with our races of a similar kind.
The first three were won by a Cal
inga, native from one of the wild
tribes of an adjacent province who
happened to be in town on a good
looking horse, where they often
come to barter, and while here was
persuaded to run; the horse was a
flyer AID the Cal1nga could ride
him; the noise coupled with the
strange surroundings were too
much for the horse, he ran away
, every time, but ran in the right
, direction and captured the prizes.
After the third dash he was ruled
out. 1t was certainly novel sight
to see that naked savage, clad in
nothing but a breech-clout, with
long flowing hair, guiding that
! frightened horse with a twisted
grass sting tied to h 1nder jaw.
The foot races were not less eXcit-
ing but more humiliating for some
, OF our American boys who thought
they could run; they did not take
into account the fact that the
Filippinos with whom they were 60
ing to compete, were fellows in good
, training for such feats, while the
Americans with sedentary occupa-
tons, requiring but little exercise,
were at a great disadvantage. After
! the second run our boys concluded
they were not in it.
At night we were favored with a
dance given in the International
Club, music furnished by two bands
playing alternately, and allow me
to state, excellent music, too. The
leader is Filipino who played for
three years in the 10Th Infantry U.
S. A., an excellent musician and has
/ done excellent work with the bands
here.
Viewed from a civilized stand
point the celebration was a regular
old fashioned Fourth, regardless Of
the fact that there is only hand
ful Of us, and a long way from head
quarters. The spirit demonstrated
was one that city of similar size
in the States could be proud Of.
Our little brown friends are not
such worthless reprobates as some
people picture them; he has some
commendable qualities; although
| fear a general average of his
gentlemanly attributes, would, as
yet, make a poor showing, but when
proper comparisons are made as
to bis conditions in '98 and at the
present time, even the most skepti-
cal have some hopes.

GOV. DAVIDSON f. 2

Gov. ]. o. Davidson came to Ian
caster from Platteville IN an auto
mobile yesterday morning, having
had most enthusiastic meeting at
the last named city the evening
previous.
Citizens of every class gave him
the open hand, the band gave him a
welcome, flags were unfurled and
the distinguished gentleman can
certainly find no fault with the
kind reception given him at the
county seat.
H6 was met at the Wright house
by scores of people to all of whom
he gave the open hand together
with an expression of good will
from an open, sincere heart that
had It's effect.
At 10 a. m. he was escorted to the
opera house where an enthusiastic
gathering of citizens had preceded
him. The governor was introduced
by W. A. Johnson in very neat
speech, briefly outlining the gov
ernor's career. The expression was
happy one appealing strongly to
all present. On the stage besides
Mr.. Johnson were r. B. Showalter.
G. H. Basford, Col. Clark, G.. c..
NARROW, Louis Vesperman, Aug.
Michaells, D. Eastman, Ed Pierce
and others.
The governors opening remarks
were in reference to the primary
election law. He referred to the
old caucus system when few men
would gather and select the candi-
dates, which the balance 1of the
party was. compelled to support or
they must bolt the ticket, spoke of
the laws enacted Of late years in re-
lat1on to the Inheritance tax, primary
election and the creation of the rail
road commission, also the law pro-
yiding for investigation of railway
corporations that resulted in the
state recovering nearly two millions
OF dollars. These things have so
far been accomplished and num-
Der Of the measures subsequently
enacted into law, he himself intro
duced in the legislature, way back
in the nineties. But no person
deserved all the credit, which be-
longed rightly TO the republican
party. As a result of these accom-
plishments the governor does not
believe that a state tax for general
purposes will be. found necessary;
that the new state capitol can be
erected without costing the people
Of Wisconsin one dollar IN taxes.
Although the Milwaukee Free Press
had made the assertion, which it
later retracted, Mr.. Davidson de-
clared emphatically that he had
not entered into an agreement with
any set of men to sacrifice in the
future the principles for which he
has stood these many years through
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-08-25
Primary Election Week from Tuesday

Tuesday, September 4, every
voter should attend the primary
election and urge his friends and
neighbors to do so. It is more i'm
portant than the general election.
How can you vote for your man
at the general election if he is not
nominated at the primary? In
Grant county nomination means
election, and if you do not attend
you have no voice in naming your
servants.
Under the primary you may vote
for all candidates direct, from
governor down to coroner. Attend
and vote.
In cities of 5000 and over, the
hours for polls to be open are from
8 in the morning to in the even
ing.
In other cities and all towns and
villages, the hours are from in the
morning to in the afternoon, (.
