The senate has ordered an inquiry
into the operations of the lumber trust
which Senator kittredge OF south
Dakota declares is the king OF all trusts
in restraint of trade-lemOrseless IN liz
grasp on the people and the only change
which it contemplates is to increase the
nrice of its products at stated intervals
without regard to cost. He also SAID
that within the last five years the price
of lumber and timber products have
Arbitrarily advanced from 100 to 900
per cent,
Senator Kittredge proposed to protect
the people from this monopoly by having
the federal government investigate the
trust and suggested that there Is n
simple way to help break the power OF
this trust if republican members Of con-
gress were willing to do it, by cutting
off the tariff protection. The tariff tax
onlumber ranges from 10 to 81 per cent.
of its value, and if lumber products
were placed on the free list there would
be competition from Canada and other
countries that have surplus lumber to
sell The ensuing competition under
free lumber, Joined with the criminal
prosecution of the lumber baron7, would
break up the trust and bring down the
price Of lumber to what it is worth.
1t must be remembered, however, that
the price of lumber will never again be
anything like as low as in former years,
for the stock Of standing timber in the
United States has been so depleted that
what remains will naturally be sold for
a much higher price than formerly.

You will note from the above report, that our
Fair Melted us net profit Of $9S2.73, as against a
deficit of $I2ooI2 for the Fair of 1905. Our gate

$I3S6I5 for the year 1905, and our Grand Stand

Our management were up against a hard prop

All the fences had been blown down during the
winter Of IQO5-Igo6, compelling us to build an entire
new fence around the grounds, the old grand stand
was becoming dangerous to life, the buildings were
all diapidated roofs all gone to pieces and leaking
badly, track in very poor shape in fact every
thing grounds and buildings were very much in need
Of attention. and all inadequate for the running of
successful Far.
We held a number Of meetings, thoroughly dis
cussed all matters and came to the conclusion that
1t was absolutely necessary if County Fairs in Man
itowoc County were to be continued, that a great
and final effort necessary, to awake and
revive interest and therefore imperative to put the
grounds in proper shape put up necessary buildings
and get the track in some kind of shape SO as
to induce good horses to come.
Our Improvements, which are permanent i'm
provements, that made during the year, are
enumerated as follows:
a new grand stand accommodating 5000 people.
dining room, D by no feet
a bar building, 20 by 80 feet
An exposition building As by 40 feet,
