LINE THROUGH WATERFOWL.
Waupaca Man Promoting Railroad to
Chicago from Superior.

Watertown, Wis, Feb. 20.-Plans
for a railway from Superior TO Chi
cago in a straight line were set
forth here by A. D. Barnes of Wan
paca. He said that if sufficient in,
terest were taken the Wisconsin
Central Railway company would
build the line. The route proposed
is from Superior over already com
pleted track to Marshfield, from
there to Grand Rapids and Nekoosa
to Westfield, Montello, Lowell, Wa
tertown, and southeast to Mukwan-
ago, where the line will connect with
its Chicago line.
Fort --,Kinson, Wis, Feb. 2O.--A
report says the Milwaukee road will

ton to Milton Junction, running
through this city. Such move
would lessen the distance between
Chicago and st. Paul 80 miles.

wish to record my appreciation Of the
inestlmabla service which Dean Henry
has rendered the state during the long
period that he has been connected
with the college Of agriculture. When
Dean Henry assumed charge Of The
agricultural college 26 years ago last
autumn, there we're no students in al
tendance at the college Of agriculture.
The college up to that time had pro-
duced no effect upon the state. At
the present time this college both on
the Institutional and inyestigatlVe
sides is second 70 none IN the United
States Material gain to the state
due TO the work Of the college is to
be measured by many millions OF
dollars per annum. Through its in
fuence also the life of the farmer
has been raised to higher intellectual
plane and the time is not far distant
when In this state the practice of ~
riculture will be recognized as p'o-
fession. In 10 small measure this
advance will be due to the work
'anry in upbuilding the col
ire in the university

Change.
Madison, Feb. 20.


Consideration of the recent criti-
cism concerning the methods of gov
eminent of the university constituted
an important part Of the report of
President Van Hise made to the re-
gents of the university at the regular
meeting yesterday In reviewing the
method of financial management Of
the institution, he showed that the
annual budget and all expenditures
are controlled directly by the regents
The financial responsibility, he point
ed out, is not in the hands of the
president and never has been. AL.
though the investigation committee Of
the legislature considered the whole
subject in detail, they decided TO rec.
ommend no change in the present sys-
TEN Of financial control
The government of the university
has been criticized on the ground
that the regents have not exercised
their full power and responsibility in
financial affairs" said President Van
Hise. "A review Of the method of
procedure in financial matters. how
ever shows that the regents give all
financial orders and are therefore re.
sponsible for the expenditures of the
institution. The president, in cor sui
tation with the deans directors, su.
perintendents, and other executive of
ilcers, make up the preliminary draft
of the budget Tor each year. The bud
get, under the bylaws, is submitted
to the finance committee of the re.
gents, who go over it item by item
and revise it to any extent that they
deem advisable After the budget Is
revised by the finance committee 1t
is sent to each of the regents in ad-
vance of the regular April meeting of
the board The budget thus made up
Is the basis for action upon proposed
expenditures during the year. No ex-
penditure Is made without a reSlisi
ton from the proper official The re-
QUESTION Is only approved by the
president in case he believes the ex-
penditure to be a wise one. and finds
the same to be within the budget APP
preparation. acquisitions thus ap-
proved by the president must go be-

passed by them. All financial orders
are made by the secretary of the re-
gents only upon action of the execu-
tive committee or the board. 1t there

financial orders and are responsible
for the expenditures of the institu

1T has been suggested that all
financial responsibility be taken out
of the hands of the president" con
tinued Or, Van Hise Financial re

know never has been in the hands of
