TO MEASURE FLOW
OF BADGER RIVERS
Geological Survey Names
Prof. L. S. Smith dS En-
gineer in Cargo.

Prof. l.. S. Smith, of the Wiscon-
sin State University, who just COM
pleted survey to ascertain the dam
age that would accrue to the city in
the proposed raising of the Rough and
Ready dam, has been appointed to
take charge of stream flow measure
merit of the Chippewa river. He vii,
begin his work about June l and will
make his headquarters at Chippewa
Falls.
For the last few years he has been
IN charge of the river profile surveys
maintained under cooperative argee-
ment between the national survey and
the state of Wisconsin. These sur
veys have been maintained by Prof.
Smith at a cost per mile considerably
less than any similar work that has
been carried On in the United States.
Accordingly when it became necessary
to abolish the geological survey office
at Chicago by reason of the reduction
of the appropriation made by congress
at It's last session, it was decided to
turn over the Wisconsin investigations
to Prof. Smith.

Engine Here for Repair.

The Oconomowoc fire engine is at
the plant of the Dornfeld- Kunert COM
pany, where it will be overhauled and
put in first class condition, the work
being under the supervision OF Charles
Nienow, a thorough mechanic, who as
sisted In the repair OF the local Silsby
engine at the shops on Fifth street
about twelve year ago The fact that
the Oconomowoc fire engine is of the
Silsby make, will make the task all
the easier. The fact that the Cooney
engine is being overhauled at the
Dornfeld-Kunert plant, makes it un-
necessary for the city of Watertown
to give a long term lease to Oconomo-
voc of our Sllsby engine, fearing that
they might have the same experience
that WATERFOWL did when the local en-
CINE was sent to the Silsby people at
Seneca Falls, N. Y, for repair. The
neighbors will not be put to the same
delay and hardship and it Is safe to
say that their engine will be returned
in the best of condition.

PLANS BEING MADE
FOR COMING FAIR
Another Great State Event
Next Fall, September
9th to 18th.

The Wisconsin State Board of AgrI-
culture has just issued an attractive
wall map Of the State of Wisconsin
which is surrounded by announcements
of the State FAIR, tobe held at Mil
waukee, September 9-13.
The plans, already perfected,
promise state exhibit which will be
greater than ever before held in this
state. The premium lists in all the
departments of agriculture, stock
raising, and the dairy and butter in
terests have been very materially in
creased and Secretary True is receiving
at his office, in Madison, an unusually
large number uf advance entries.
The entertainment features provided
are to exceed in Importance and variety
anything ever before attempted by
the Wisconsin State Fair, including
special events FIR afternoon and
evening sessions. A great feature
of the Fair will be the airship, which
made successful flights year ago and
which has been re-engaged for the
benefit of the thousands who did not
attend the Fair last year and who
have been awaiting an opportunity to
witness the successful flight of mod
ern and improved type Of airship.

AUTOIST LOSES HIS APPEAL
TO SUPREME COURT.
Interesting Case is Decided BY
Supreme Court : Case From
Jefferson County Was Conduct
ed BY Former District Attorney
Davies and Mayor Mulberger.

The supreme court has affirmed the
decision in the case of Charles Nc
Commins, plaintiff in error, versus
state of Wisconsin, defendant IN err
ror. The case was watched with
much interest, as it is one of the first,
if not the first, automobile case to
come before the supreme court. 1t
was appealed from the circuit court of
Jefferson county. The prosecution
was by former district attorney,
Joseph E. Davies, assisted by Mayor
Arthur MuIberger.
McCommins was found guilty of
not stopping his machine when "A Dig
nal of distress was given. Henry
Moyse, an old man, with his son, was
driving along a narrow road June 80,
1906, seated on a board on top of a hay

became frightened and tipped the "a

Minis was found guilty and fined $I0O

OPEN SAN|TAR|UM
FOR OLD SOLDIERS
National Institution Opened
at Hot Springs. S. D.. on
May lSt,

We acknowledge the receipt from
W. H. Ferris of the Hot Springs, S.
D., Weekly Star of May 10, which
contains pictures and description of the
million dollar National Sanitarium for
disabled soldiers of the United States.
There are an administration building
and hospital wards. The Star says
Any ex-UnIted States volunteer
soldier who is dependent will be trans
ported from his home, anywhere in
the United States. to the sanitarlum,
cared for, treated and returned to his
home, without a single cost of ex-
pense to himself. The government
bears the entire cost. If the old
soldier is drawing a pension and is an
inmate of soldiers home he must
pay his own railroad fare to and from
his home and Hot Springs.
Nothing has been spared in equip
ping the sanitarlum in every way for
the comfort and pleasure of the vet
Grams who may become members.
One of the finest orchestras obtain
able gives daily concert within the
arcade, to which the public is vel
coined.
This great National Sanitarium,
which is the only one of its kind in the
world, was formally opened to the free
use of all disabled U. S. volunteer
soldiers on May list. 1907.
The buildings are old Spanish mis-
sion style and happy grouping of
them IN a circle makes them very
compact and wonderfully easy of &C
cess to each other. Some idea of the
extent of the building can be had by
realizing that within the main group
itself three full city blocks could be
placed, fill as it does circle more
than 500 feet in diameter, or about
five acres.

PLAYGROUND PLAN
IS GAINING FAVOR
National Association to Hold
First Annual Meeting in
Chicago.

The suggestion OF turning the school
lot ON Eight hstreet into playground
brings to light the fact that we have
in this country what is known as the
Playground Association of America
with headquarters at Washington, d.
c., with which it night be well for
some of the citizens of Watertuwn to
cooperate. The Leader has been
handed a program of the first annual
meeting of the association which is to
be held in Chicago, June 20, Il, %.
It's aims are national in scope and
for comparativ ely small outlay it
purposes to be able to direct the ex-
penditure of millions, to study the
practical problems of the playground
and to furnish to playground directors
and promoters the information they
need, also to stimulate an interest IN
Fairgrounds in backward communities.
It's playground plan ii, Washing tor. has
already been adopted by the District
of Columbia and is widely quoted
elsewhere. 1t is to have playground
exhibition at Jamestown.
At the association meeting to be
held at Chicago, one of the discussions
will be: "Should the Municipal Play
grounds be Controlled by the Board of
Education?' Another interesting sub
ject will be Fairgrounds in the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. ''Play as a
Training in Citizenship, is anothec,
also "Organized Play in the Country
and Country Village 1.-The School
Recreation Centers of New York, ""A
Curriculum of Games in the Schools, -
"The Small Parks of Chicago, Pub
lie Recreation and Social Morality. -
Thus it is seen that the suggestion
to turn the school lot on Eight street
into playground is IN line of advanc-
ed thought and along the line suggested
by Mayor Mulberger Fin his message
to the city council dealing upon edu-
cation, as Published in The Leader yes

BURNING OF NAOMI
BRINGS MEMORIES
UNIVERSITY BOYS FREQUENTLY
RODE ON LAKE CRAFT
Henry }. Diehl and George Luetke
Have Crossed Lake on Inflated
Boat at Least a Dozen Times
Young Men Tell of Recent EX-
perlenCeS- Realize Horror.

The burning CT the large passeng ger
boat Naomi, in midlake between Mil
waukee and Grand Haven, brings to
the mind of few Northwestern
students many trip that they have
made onthe craft. Two students. at
present Seniors, Henry j. Diehl and
George Luetke, recollect that they
have crossed Lake Michigan on the
steamer Naomi at least a dozen or
more times. Especially interesting
TO Mr.. DIehl is the fact that it was
on the Naomi that he felt the evil
effects of his first cigar. He was
really not allowed to smoke, but as
boys sometimes do, he tried it with
the usual unpleasant results. Another
point of interest in connection with
the boat Is that these two Seniors
saw rather unique sight on this boat.
1t was night in January, dark and
bitter cold. The boat had left the
harbor and was about in the middle
OF the lake. The boys were sitting in
the cabin and complacently smoking,
when suddenly a lady rushed through
the room and sprang out on the deck.
Being very anxious to see what was to
happen, the Seniors followed and
arrived just in time to see beautiful
set of false teeth drop out of the lady s
mouth into the water.
The boat was very nicely arranged
and these boys remember that many
time they lay in their berths think
ing of home and mother while the wind
was bowling and the waves rolling
outside. The boys fully realize the
terrible time experienced by the pas
sengers on the iIi-tated boat the other
evening and feel thankful that they
never had to undergo such STRAIN and
such an excitement.

Emery Quotes the State Law.

The following is the copy of cir
cular recently issued by Chicago job
Der who is making a bid for the cheese

Chicago, May, 1907.
Gentlemen Buy where you can get
the most for your money. We offer
you almost full cream daisies one IN d

"Send US your early orders. Buy

that has always treated you right.
In discussing this circular State
Dairy and Food Commissioner Emery
says:
wisconsin dealers who are dishon-
est enough to enter into this scheme
would also be dishonest enough to &C
into court and swear that they supposed
that they were getting pure cheese
and they might possibly use their in
fuence with the members OF the legis-
lature to secure laws granting immun-
ity from prosecution because of the
hardship to them of being prosecuted.
''As close an inspection of cheese
products as the present force in the
dairy and food commission will permit
will be made of arrivals in this state
of Chicago cheese, particularly OF
those from the firm sending out this
circular, and prosecutions of dealers
Who sell this fraudulent cheese Will
be made unsparlngly. The manufact'
ure or sale in this state of cheese
manufactured from milk from which
any of the fat originally contained
therein has been removed, except sucf
cheese is ten inches in diameter ant
nine inches in height, is unlawful
and punishable by fine of not less
than $50 or by Imprisonment.
