IN the reach of men of moderate
means. This sum is manifestly
inadequate and if the best results
are to be obtained the northern
counties must organize and take
hand in the movement, making
appropriations to cover the ex
penses of advertising their own
resources. The cost of an ap.
propri alton of 81, 900 will be but
a small fraction of cent per
acre in the smallest county. The
beniht the direct financial re-
turn in the form of taxes-to
each county would be a substan
tial one.
Any man who knows the pos
sibilities Of development in
Northern Wisconsin, who has
watched the farmers now there
as hey cleared their land in the
wilderness, built roads, bridges
and school houses, and, in the
face of many disadvantages, won
success by industry and frugali-
ty, does not need to be told that,
with a greater part of the pio-
neer work done, the settlers who
come now will have u compare
lively easy time in establishing
themselves. From this time on
development and the consequent
increased wealth Of the counties
will be more rapid if the advant
ages offered by the northern
counties are brought to the at
tention of those who are seeking
homes.
Enterprise pays communities
as we'll as individuals 1t pays
to advertise, to develop, to inn
prove. 1t pays to make a blade
of grass grow where no grass
grew before, and, where thouss
ands of tons Of grass are going
to waste annually on wild lands,
as in many of the counties Of
Northern Wisconsin, it pays to
secure new settlers who will buy
stock and save that waste. 1t
pay 8 to coin the natural wealth
of the state into dollars.
Wisconsin has not progressed
as rapidly on the road to devel-
opment in the past as it should
have done, because q concerted
effort has not been made by the
counties most in need of develop
yment. An effort is now being
made to organize such move
ment and tile northern counties
are asked to lend their aid to
that movement. il will pay them
to respond to the appeal.

FOREST co. FAIR A

ONE HUNDREDAN TWENTY SEVEN
EXHIBITORS MAKE GOOD SHOW
OF PRODUCTS OF COUNTY.


TwclveHundred People on Crandon Day
Owing to the failure of the
railroad company to furnish a
special train from Wabeno to
Laona, during the county fair,
the attendance from here was
rather slim. The following ac-
count of the fair is taken from
last weeks Crandon Republican;
That Forest County can hold
a successful Fair has been de-
monsrated to the most incredu-
lous, and there have been many

the contrary. Inexperienced

pulled off an exhibition Of great
merit, rejecting credit upon
themselves, and giving to the
world the certain knowledge
that the soil and climate of
Forest county is capable of pro
ducing as heavily of grain and
vegetables as any county in the
state. 70 prove this read some
of the hasty CLEANED notes taken
at the grounds for this issue Of
the Republican.

There were fifteen horses,

COST AND BENEFITS
OF DEVELOPMENT.

Every new settler that buys
unimproved land and begins the
work of development is definite
and tangible gain to every bust
ness man and farmer of the coun-
ty where he establishes his home.
Here are some of the items in
the list that go to make up the
grand total of gain.
He becomes customer of the
business men of the county.
He raises crops and thereby
increases the wealth of the coun-
ty.
He improves and makes pro
ductive what would otherwise be
waste land, thereby adding to
the assessed valuation of the
county and assisting in bearing
the burdens of taxation.
BY improving his land he adds
TO the value of adjoining lands,
improved and unimproved.
He aids in building roads,
bridges and school houses, and
with others of his kind, relieves
the isolation of rural communi-
ties and iustifies the establish.
ment of rural mail routes and
farmers telephone lines.
The railroad companies esti-
mate that each new settler along
the lines of their roads is worth
to them 5000 a year. Is he not
worth more than that to the com
munity?
The difference between the as
sessed value of the old counties
of Southern Wisconsin and the
newer counties of the northern
part of the state is one of de-
velopment only. Price County,
rich in natural resources but
with only % per cent of its
acreage under cultivation was as
sessed by the state tax commits.
sion in 1905 at S6, 769, 437, while
Dane County was assessed at
800, 260, 525, because its cultlvat-
ed acreage wgs g.. per cent. OF
the entire area Price County is
the larger county of the two.
In the same year Iron County
with its mines and mills, was as.
sessed at S4, 357, 207, while Rock
County's assessed valuation was
$62, 595, ,875. Iron County has an
area of 786 square miles; Rock
County's area is 706 square miles.
To further illustrate what ag-
ricultural development means to
Northern Wisconsin counties the
case of Taylor County will serve
the purpose. Taylor County is
one of the new counties so far as
development is concerned, foI
not to exceed 5 per cent. of the
acreage of the county is now un.
der cultivation. For thirty five
years it has been q NUMBERING

manufacturing estab lish ment
have contributed to the prosper
Iity of its citizens. And yet, more
money is paid out to-day in Tay

alone than was ever paid out or

featuring establishments in the
county IN the palmlest days o.

There is more money on depos

Four Agricultural stations Carried
on by the Government.
The government maintains four agri-
cultural experiment stations in Alaska

been recommended point midway be-
tween Cinema and Fairbanks, and adj

Alaskan.
The experiments at the Sitka station
are now devoted chiefly TO horticulture.
and the work carried or there may be
grouped into two CLASSES. First, the
introduction, propagation and testing
OF fruit trees and fruit bushes, with
view to ascertaining which sorts can
be successfully cultivated In Alaska !;
and second, the testing Of varieties of
vegetables best suited to the climate
and soil in various parts of the district.
Among the fruit trees the apple has
been the subject of closest study at the
station, but sufficient time has not yet
elapsed to determine what the result
will be. Interesting experiments are
being made with the native fruit
bushes, and new varieties of raspber-
ries, currants and gooseberries will
doubtless be the outcome of the work

Then a great revulsion of feeling

SOCIAL GAIN A REAL LOSS.
Dukes Daughter Went Backward
When Husband Was Made n Peer.


Women filled with fatuous fancy
to introduce the British system Of So
cfal precedence, or bad imitation of
1t, into this country would do well, per-
haps, to give heed to the trouble they
have even in experienced England with
that sort of thing. 1t is the popular
Idea that all changes of social position,
so long as one remains in society at all,
must be for the better. Nothing of the
sort.
An Englishwoman, through no fault
OF her own, easily may lose many steps
in the order Of precedence and she
doesn't have to marry beneath her.
to do it. Strangely enough, If dukes
daughter becomes the bride Of a COM
moner she retains the position she held
before marriage. But let her husband
beware lest In advancing himself he
pull his wife down the ladder, for that
is precisely what he'll do if he breaks
into the peerage.
A case In point is that Of Lady VIM
borne. She is the daughter of duke.
and as her husband was only baronet
at the time Of their union she lost
none of her own rank AS long as she
was only Lady Cornelia Guest society
classed her as a dukes daughter But
when Guest was raised to the peerage
his wife stood no longer in the position
Of the daughter of a peer, but in that
Of the wife of one. Instead of taking
her rank from her father. she took it
from her husband, and as a lord isn't
as exalted as a duke her position in
the order of precedence to-day is ten
steps lower than it was before and for
a while after her wedding.
A pleasant contrast is the case of Sir
Edward Malet, who recently refused
peerage because 1t would have reduced
his bride, Lady Ermyntrude, from the
rank of the Duke of Bedford's daugh-
ter to that of a barons wife, Lady
Margaret Compton, daughter of the
Marquis Of Northampton, lost six steps
in the precedence scale when she gave
her hand to Lord Loeb, whereas had
she become the wife Of plain John
Smith she would have retained the
high rank of her glrlhood. York

he went, men turned to stare at him.
women pointed at him out of the win

to take delight in barking at him. AT
the station his arrival created mild
stir, and on the second morning a
group of his fellow citizens gathered
about him.
Mr. Jurgins," said the spokesman,
why do you walk to the depot in this
humble fashion? Where is you rauto-
mobile?"
"SOld it, said Jurgins, shortly.
''Going to get larger one?"
"No, sir, I'm done with 'em."

self, in the evening.
my wife could buy ten yards of
goods and cut a dress, hire Nancy Cook
for two dollars a day to sew 1t together
and fit it, and be as well dressed as

there was tennis, croquet or golf, no
