months of the year previous. -Four
inches fell last November, making
over ten inches in the last two

LET IDAHO HAVE A PARK.

We copy in this issue a most
excellent article from The States
man regarding a state or national
park at the Payette lakes. There
is no more desirable place for such
a park than the Payette lakes, and
we earnestly hope some effort will
be made to have land set aside for
that purpose. No more opportune
time than the present could have
been selected for broaching the sub
ject. Our state legislature is now
in session, and if some of the in
fiuential Boise people who can see
the advantage to the people of the
state in having the natural beauty
of the lakes preserved will exert
themselves and use their influence
at this time, probably something
could be accomplished. Consider
able of the land bordering on the
big lake is privately owned, but
there is still some state land left
which would answer eXcellently
for the purpose. The very best
piece narrowly escaped being sold
recently.
There is everything in favor of
the lakes as a park and summer
resort-destined to become one of
the chief resorts Of the northwest.
The climate in summer can not be
beaten anywhere, the days pleas
antly warm and nights deliciously
cool, running between 35 and so
degrees, while the air is clear, or
one-laden and bracing; there is
splendid trout fishing in the lakes
during spring and early summer
and in the numerous mountain
streams later in summer; game of
all kind is found in the nearby
mountains; the waters of the big
lake warm up earlier in the sum-
mer than seems possible when the
altitude and cool nights is consid-
ered-probably caused by warm
springs somewhere in the lake
and the bathing is excellent; there
are now four good hotels at the
lakes, and camping out is first class;
the farmers and ranchers near the
lakes will furnish milk, butter, eggs,
vegetables, ETC., as the demand

grows, and some are already talk
ing of making speciality of this
kind of business; and, to crown all,
the people of Boise will be able
next summer to leave that city in
the morning and arrive at the lakes

they could not do until the recent

To War on Trusts.

Planning a systematic war upon
"trust'' made cigars by the circulation
of union literature, the Wisconsin
State Blue Label league has been
formed with membership embracing
the local cigar makers unions of
Milwaukee, La Crosse, Ashland, Fond
du Lac, Kenosha. Waukesha, Water
town, Wausau. Madison, Chippewa
Falls, Eau Claire. and GAINESVILLE. The
league was organized at 318 State
street Milwaukee by delegates from
most of the above named cities, the
others being rep esented by proxies.
The plans Of the league are to dis
tribute pamphlets setting forth facts
about the employment of nonunion
labor and of women and children in
the factories of the trust. these
pamphlets will be sert to union men
IN other trades, their families and
friends, who will be urged to call for
the union label when buying cigars.
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted yesterday and officers were
elected, although their names were
not given out. A referendum Of
the unions interested will be taken TO
ratify the formation of the league
and other locals will be solicited

Those who have heard her at the sea-
sons prominent muslcales haze re-
marked the perfect control under which
Mrs. Butler has her voice, giving
evidence of serious study. She was
in Berlin four years ago and has just
completed a seasons work with Fer
gusson Critics have said that her
bird like trills and brilliant execution,
combined with strong dramatic
accent, make her rare and pleasing
singer. Mrs. Butler not only has a
coloratura repertoire at her command,
but is proficient in oratoric and
modern French and German ballads.
Her singing has an individual charm,
which, with her engaging personality,
has made her extremely popular with
the Berlin audiences which have heard
her.
The Apollo club is certainly for
tunate IN securing such an excellent
singer She will be heard to advan-
tage in the beautiful solo work for
soprano in the cantata.

Every possible effort is being made
by the health authorities of the city

its spread in the city. AS The Leader

Fight on Roberts:

Madison. Jan. 24-The "Wisconsin
Assembly of Veterinarians and Stock
men, has been organized with d
membership OF 102 to oppose the con-
firmation of DR.. David Roberts as
state veterinarian.
He was appointed by Gov. Davidson
about four months ago to succeed
his brother. Since that time every
preparation has been made to block
the confirmation Of the name into
the senate. Letters have been writ
ten the governor to have the name
withdrawn but 1t is now understood
it will be certified with a number of
other appointments next week.
Circular letters are being sent to
farmers and business men IN each
district by the ASSOCIATION asking
them to urge their senators to protest
against DR.. Roberts. He IS interested
in the DIR. David Roberts Veterinary
company of Waukesha, and it is
charged he is using the influence of
his office to further his personal
fake interest. !"
The company sells cattle test
for tuberculosis and advertises. "Test

cate of health and copies of these
advertisements selecLed from booklets
issued by his company are enclosed
to show up his advertising methods,
which it is represented "greatly de-
grades the honor and dignity of the
veterinary profession.
The members Of the senate seem
little interested in the matter. Many
assert that it appears to them nothing
more than a number of dissatisfied
aspirants for the office attempting tc
GUST the successful man.

The law enacted at the last session
of congress providing for the use of
tax free, denatured alcohol, became
operative January lst, out as yet none
of the local drug stores have been
supplied with the new product and
the earliest shipments are promised
by the wholesale houses along to-
wards the latter part of the month.
Without doubt denatured alcohol will
entirely displace wood alcohol, and
doubtless. also, will be sold at
much less price.
Denatured aclohol is destined to al
most revolutIoniZe things commercial
ly, and time can only tell just what
position it is TO occupy. The revolu-
tion caused by the cheapness of its
production will come on gradually, as
conditions have to adjust themselves
to the product itself. Denatured al
cohol sold in barrel lots will cost the
retailer about 3S4 cents a gallon, but
this price, 1T is believed. will in
short time dwindle uown to 81 cents
gallon, the price for which it is now
being manufactured in Germany.
The product will occupy the same
position alcohol would if it's price were
not so prohibitlve. 1t will make
ideal fuel for several reasons, and it
Will be so preferable to gasoline
that this dang erous fluid will he al
most superseded by it. In the first
place it will be desirable because
of its cheapness, and secondly because
of the intensity of heat, gallon of
denatured alcohol containing twice as
many heart units as the same amount
of gasoline; third, because the dan
ger of explosion is reduced to mini
mum; fourth, because the product
evaporates very slowly and can con-
sequently be kept for much greater
length of time. 1t is conceded that
in few ye:rs it will be the ideal
fuel. The product may also take the
place of gasoline because Of It's greFt
pow er, and if it is what is claimed
for it, the gasoline engine will soon
be thing of the past. The modern
gasoline engines will have to undergo
some rebuilding, however, to be ad
justed to the new product. They will
then be operated on exceedingly high
pressure. The fluid is poisonous and
must be SO labelled by the person sell
ing it.
Persons who wish to deal in COM
pletely denatured alcohol, must secure
permits from the collector of internal
revenue of the districts IN which they
do business. Dealers will be CLASH
fed as retail and wholesale dealers,
wholesale dealers being those who
sell in quantities of five gallons or
more, and retail dealers being those
who sell in quantities less than five
gallons. Retail dealers must provide
themselves with labels with the
words "Denaturned Alcohol" printed
upon them in plain letters. The
printing shall be red on white. A
label or this character must be affixed
to every container sold. Denatured
alcohol will recall at about 60 cents
per gallon.

Everything looks rosy for the Wa
tertown City Mutual Fire Insurance
company as was shown in the reports
made yesterday at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders held at the
office of Strehlow & Irachte on South
Third street. There was good rep
resentatiun or the stockholders and all
displayed great interest in the past
success of the concern and expressed
great confidence in the future.
In addition to listening to the re-
ports OF the officers, which were &C
cepted. three directors were elected
for d term of two years. They are
as follwos: G. Trachte, M. Fitz-
gerald and julius Strehlow. There
are five directors, the two holdovers
being VIM. Trachte and Leonard
Schempf. The board of directors
will meet in the course of day or two
and elect officers for the ensuing year.
Since the organization OF the COM
pany, a steady and substantial growth
has been made, till today the company
is on solid foundation. The COM
pany was organized Oct. 26th 1906, and
began it's active business career on
Aug. End, 1897, less than ten years
ago.
Some idea of the growth of Water
towns mutual fire insurance company
is shown in the fact that today there
are 2,239 policy holders. At the
present time, policies to the total
amount of 81, 584, 751.7l are in force,
scattered over a wide area of country.
Since the organization the company,
have been paid by the company, while
local in name, is not local in char
acter. Agents are stationed ali over
the state, while local insurance agents
are writing many risks for this grow
ing concern. Every year since the
commencement Of business has shown
an increase and a fact worthy of
special mention is that during the
past three years., the business of the
company has more than trebled.
Among the out of town stockholders
who were present at the meeting
yesterday were the following: R. L.
A Jams and Charles Lamb, Madison; !;

THE LEGISLATURE
AND AUTOMOB|L|STS
Has Become a Question at Is
sue Earlier Than Was
Expected.

Automobiles have become question
at issue i'll the Legislature earlier
than was expected Bright and early
there appeared in the Legislature bill
which will be considered by drivers
OF automobiles as most drastic
measure. The bill provides that in
cases of conviction a second time for
vic lation Of clause IN the present
automobile law which makes it COM
pulsory upon warning by the driver
of horses that his animals are afraid
of the approaching machine, that
drivers of automobiles must stop and
halt their machines until the horses
are past-the punishment shall be
imprisonment, and that there shall be
no remittance of this portion of the
punishment. In addition to the term
in prison dne Will be imposed and
altogether it is intended that drivers
of automobiles be palced in a position
where they will not be tempted to go
by scary horses without stopping their
machines.
Farmers say that a fine alone has
no effect on many of the owners of
automobiles, and that the only way
they can be reached is by impris-
onment. 1t is their statement that
the warning to stop the machine
upon passing horses which are
frightened is habituaIIy disregarded
by the owners of automobiles. In
where there are summer
resorts which are patronized by non
residents of the state, this is par
ticularly true. These visitors, for
the most part wealthy people, pay,
it is said, absolutely no attention to
the Wisconsin automobile law, and
act as if it was not on the statute
books. Instances are cited where
the people who have held up their
hands as a warming to the automobile
drivers to stop their II achines have
been simply laughed at by the auto
mobile drivers who have gone by at
60milean hour gait, little caring
what injury their carelessness may
have wrought. The fear OF a few
days in jail would have, the members
say, ? whcleson'.. eject N these peo-
pie, and make them less reckless of
the way they endanger human life and
limb.

COUNCIL To GRAPPLE
WITH MILK QUESTION
SPECIAL MEETING CALLED
FOR TUESDAY EVENING.
At Least Two Amendments Will
Be Offered to Milk Ordinance
Pdsteurizdtion Proposition Will
Be Discussed Salary of City
Officers Also to Come Up.

Considerable interest in centerlng
in the special meeting of the city
council called for next Tuesday evening
and the indications are that there will
be quite a number of interested visitors
at The meeting. Several matters of
Importance are to come up. chief
among which will be proposed amend
ments to the milk ordinance. There
being no regular meeting till February
4th, it was deemed advisable to call
the special meeting to settle some
matters that are at present agItating,
the minds of the council men and
several of our citizens. 1t is under
stood that at least two sets of amend
ments to the milk ordinance will be
be offered and 1t is probable there
will be some lengthy discussions as
to the relative merits of the same.
1t is reported that some leading
bacterl Jlogists will be present at the
meeting and will offer opinions on the
proposition of amending the ordinance
permitting tn. .pasteurization of milk
and cream. This will nc doubt be
the leading feature of the discussions
of the evening and will undoubtedly
have a tendency to prolong the ses-
sion. The question of the legality
of placing ear marks upon cattle to
designate those that have been in
spected from those that have not,
will also come in for debate.
Another question that will COM
before the members Of the council at
the special will be that of fixing the
salaries of the city officers. A move
ment is on foot to increase the salary
in one or more ca es and this question
with which the aldermen will have to
cope.
1t might be worthy of note to say
that Jefferson county through it's board
of supervisors has provided large
oak cabinet with seventy-two COLI
partments for the use of attorneys Of
J Jefferson county for fling judicial
papers. The cabinet is at present In
use In the city building and is GER
tainly very convenient and greatly
by the attorneys.
