L. & N. Better.

It was announced in this city this afternoon that the Louisville and Nash vile railroad had put on three or the trains which were cut off last month.
 This means that three more tram crews will now have a chance to Work regularly, and this in itself is very in couraging, as it shows that the busi- ness that the road is doing at the present time demands more car service.
 When the furry first came on the Louisville and Nashville reduced their working force in and around this clty considerably and a good many or tue men that were employed on the trans and in tho ward were laid oH.
 The tonnage handled bN tnls roao each month IS very large and from the nrnsent outlook there will hardly be any further reduction in the force.

tunities that prevail in this new
north. All the benefits bestowed upon
industry by FAN river, Fox river and
Rock river are duplicated over and
over in the waterfalls of the great
new north. And when these are de-
veloped, as present progress promises
at an early date, the resultant cities
and towns vii create new and addi-
tional market little thought of by the
multitude today. And while this
new territory is establishing its manu-
featuring industries the older Wis

where in the state of marvellous
achievements, and opportunities yet

Then why should sons of Wisconsin

offers unparalleled opportunities?

tive Lilley of Connecticut, member
Of the house naval committee, had a
talk with Admiral BrownsoD, chief of
the navigation bureau, yesterday
relative to the naval program to be
presented to the next congress.
IBrownson was of the opinion that
the navy should have two more bat

sion. This does not mean that this
should be the number of ships asked
for but that it should represent the
number Of ships to be actually provid-
Jed by congress. AS to the type of
the vessels to be built Admiral Brown
son said he would not change the
specifications of the 10000 ton Della
ware class, already contracted for, In

$1,000 MECHANICS
I p GO To PACIFIC

New York, ct. 21.-At the navy
yard, in discussing the contemplated
voyage of the battleship squadron to
the Pacific by way of Cape Horn, en-
cheering officers took occasion to an
swer certain criticisms that the people
at large cannot benefit by this dis
play. They called attention to the fact
that the various navyyards along the
Atlantic coast are being denuded of
their best machinists, who are to have
their faces turned toward the setting
sun.
I'VE will send 5000 high class ma
chinists to the Pacific" declared a
chief machinist at the yard. I'VE
will need that many men. All will
sign an agreement to stay in the 1serv-
ice a year and their families. will go
with them. If they stay we will bring
them back. They are not contract
laborers, but high class men, who will
overhaul the battleships on their ar
rival on the coast, and they will be
brought east after their work Is done.
While they are gone we will have to
fin most of their places. This means
relief to the labor market for at least
| p year. And it will give apprentices
a chance. So far as labor is concerned

HARTMAN HAS
RIVAL FOR FISH
SELECTS CHICAGO BANKER AS
OPPOSING CANDIDATE FOR
DIRECTOR.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The meeting OF
the stockholders of the Illinois Cen
trail was yesterday postponed, this
time until this afternoon. No action
was taken q my kind.
The delay was caused by the ina.
bility of the committee on proxies to
present its report. The checking OF
the proxies is a task of such huge
proportions that it Is uncertain when
the committee will be able to report
When the stockholders met yesterday
the committee had only reached the
letter II, and at that had considered
merely domestic proxies. None OF
those received from abroad had been
touched. The committee may, how.
ever, be able to report today.
1t was officially announced by Pres.
ident Harahan that John j. Mitchell,
president of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank of Chicago, will be Har-
riman's candidate for the directorship
now held by Fish Both Hartman
and Fish were at the bank yesterday
to confer with Mitchell, who is a
personal friend of both men. Both
were at the bank at the same time,
but they did not meet, and Fish did
not know Of Harriman's presence I'M
til he was about to leave, and Har-
riman did not know that Fish had
been in the bank until after the lat
ter departed.
Fish declined to discuss the candi-
dacy of Mitchell, saying he had
dropped in merely for the purpose
Of making friendly call. Hartman
also declined to discuss Mitchell, but
referred all queries to Harahan, who
confirmed the report promptly.

NORTH WISCONSIN MARKETS
By A. D. Campbell, Commissioner of Immigration

The intending settler IL the new
Wisconsin will naturally ask, What of
the markets? 1t is a fitting question.
1t suggests preparedness to grapple
with the conditions surrounding a pro
posed enterprise with the result that
when it is undertaken there will be no
hesitation, no half-heartedness about
the endeavor. The markets of south
ern Wisconsin are superb, there are
none better The farmers son, who
must look for a new home, should
note we'll the conditions that are to
surround him, and the southern Wis
consin farmers son should seek, if
possible, a new home as greatly blessed
with respect to markets as the one
which, for need of land, he must leave.
In the new Wisconsin he will find a
home market ready to consume the
entire output of the farms as they are
developed. The following from an ar
ticle by Edgar T. Wheelock, secretary
of the Wisconsin immigration and de.
velopment association, covers the sub
ject well and fairly:
Industrial statistics prove that
states in which industries are diversi-
fed are the most prosperous and the
