CONGRESSIONAL
PARTY LANDS
Continued from Page One,


here, the Congressman and their ladi ;:
found that the sea trip, which had beer
delightful one throughout, had beer
enough of rest for them and they
were busy all day in walking and riding
about town, visiting the Aquarium and
parks and shopping.
FUN CROSSING THE CONTINENT
The party was made up at Chicago,
where two ears were put at their dis
posal for the transcontinental trip. At
Omaha Colonel Hepburn and his party
of Westerners joined and the whole
party had a merry journey with no
more grievous mishap than a hold-up
of six hours in the Sierras. At San
Francisco the Buford was boarded at
once, the party being but very short
time in that city.
The Congressman have nothing but
good to say of their treatment on the
voyage, even Neptune being kind to
most of them The ship was theirs
from the time of embarking until they
had left the gangplank at Honolulu
and many of the party expressed the
opinion that few more days on board
under the same circumstances would
have been welcomed.

participated. Supt. Weldon was
present and pronounced the words
and Gladys Spriggle of Bay City
carried off the honors. Another
contest will be held at Forest home,

manner; Supt. Weldon has prepared
list of about seven hundred words
which will be sent to all teachers
whose schools are to participate in

Electric Power for Ellsworth.

A crew started work at McLeod's
mill Monday clearing up the site of
the big dam the Ellsworth Heat,
Light & Power Co. will build the
coming summer. Mr.. Mcleod has
the contract for the 1884, feet of
lumber required which will be cut
on the spot by Chas. Fenton.
James Dunn of River Falls, the
veteran dam builder, will construct
the dam, commencing work with the
opening of spring. The dam will be
$50 feet long and 20 feet high, and
together with the power house will
involve an expenditure of SIS, 900.
The wheel will be a horizontal tur-
bine, which will be coupled directly
to the generators, thus doing away
with all gearing.
B. S. Potter tells the Herald that
when the system gets in operation
Ellsworth will be as we'll supplied
electrically as any place in the
country. We have always been hand
icapped here by the lack of natural
power, but hereafter we will be on
an equal footing with surrounding
towns. Pierce Co. Herald.

for the purpose of raising funds to
fence the cemetery. All persons
interested are requested to come and
bring basket of edibles.
Mark S. Ferguson, aged 50 years
and s months, was found dead in
his house last Saturday forenoon, by
Willie Rainous, ten-year-old boy,
who had gone there to take him a
baking of bread. The contents of
his room were in miscellaneous con-
fusion, all the chairs overturned, ETC.,
indicating that he had made a fight
alone with death. The district at
torney decided that no inquest was
necessary as he no doubt died from
natural causes, having suffered from
valvular heart disease for several
years. No marks Of violence were
visible on his body. Both doors of
his house were open when he was
found. Mr.. Ferguson was one of
our early settlers, having resided
here since about 1854. He served
as corporal in Co. K, 5oth Regt.,
Wis. Vol. Infantry. He had lived
alone from choice for several years.

The Legislature.

The Wisconsin Legislature seems
in a harmonious temper this winter,
and there is apparent among the
members a disposition to carry out
the policy as outlined in the gov
ernor's message. The Republican
members are in accord upon all i'm
portant questions suggested for
legislative action and the Demo
cratic members may be depended
on to support most of the measures
proposed and demanded by the
great majority of the people of the
state. 1t is of course expected that
many bills will be introduced that
will never be acted upon. Every
legislature passes through such an
experience but it is believed that
bills to secure we'll defined demands
will receive careful consideration
and legal enactment.

A number of bills of minor i'm

these is one to raise the per diem of

conventions from So to s.; one to

a bill to secure two-cents mile

Normal Again Victorious.

The Normal basket ball team of
this year has yet to suffer defeat in
a straight. fair game. They were
defeated in Saltwater but the fact
that the police were needed to keep
the crowd off from the floor shows
that the Normal team were not
given fair treatment by that school
and that the result of that game is
nothing to go by IN comparing
the two teams. In fair, clean,
game Normal defeated Saltwater by
a score of 43 to 20, and even with
the referee and crowd taking active
part against them at Saltwater they
scored 81 points to their opponents
81. Friday evening there were two
games-the second teams of the two
schools played first and then follow
ed the important game, the one be-
tween the two first teams. The
Menomonie second team easily won
their game, the score at the close
of the last half being % to 5 in their
favor. The game between the first
teams was expected by the greater
part of the audience to have SINH
lar result as the reputation of the
Menomonie team had placed them
out of the Normal team class in the
opinion of many. Therefore they
were greatly surprised at the local
team from the very start. In the
first half Zittleman, Menomonie's
center, had thrown two field baskets,
and his four scores were the only
ones made by his team. Norstrom,
center for Normal, threw 2 field
goals in this half, Foley, forward
threw 3 and Haddow threw ! field
goal and one free throw, scoring in
all Is points this half. In the sec
ond half the Training school scored
II points, Zittleman field goals,
Zenick 2, and Mcneil and Spalding
one each. For Normal, NorStrom
threw field goals, Haddow field
and one free goal and Rudow field
goals, or 10 points in all. The
guarding by Rudow and Johnson
was excellent, but three goals being
made by their opponents. In the
other games played here the scores
from free basket have been an i'm
portant factor in the final outcome
of the game but in this instance only
five points-Normal 4, Menomonie
1-were made this way. Tomorrow
night Normal will play the Agricul-
tural Department of the University
of Minnesota here. The game will

SHOW HOW 100000
LOAN FUNDS WERE SPENT

Chief Clerk Manuel Cook of the De
partment of Public Works is engaged
in getting out a statement for Gov
ernor Frear showing the exact cost OF
every improvement built out of loan
funds during the four years ending
June so, 1907. The loan fund appropri-
ations available during these two BIZ
ennial periods was about $2,500,O0O,
The statement which is being prepared
will show exactly how every dollar of
that was expended, whether for labor
or material 1t will also show the ex-
act cost of every public Improvement
made out of these loan funds, every
sehoolhouse, bridge, wharf, slip, harbor
dredging, and in fact every separate
public improvement. This will be a
permanent record which will be avail
able at any time in the future.
In making this compilation, which
has involved an immense amount of
work, not only have the accounts been
segregated from the books, but the
vouchers have been compared, to be
certain that there should be no mistake.

WA|LUkU WORTH
TWO MILLIONS
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)

The Supreme Court yesterday hand
ed down a decision and opinion in the
appeal of the Tax Assessor from the
decision of the Tax Appeal Court fixing
the value of the Waikiki Sugar Com
pany plantation for purposes Of tax
alton at 100000. The opinion of the
court is by Chief Justice Hartwell.
The corporation returned its property
at 81, 100000 The Assessor raised II to
81, 300, 900, and the Tax Appeal Court
made it s2,0O0,000. The property was
taxed last year on valuation of ST.
700, 900, and the sum of 100000 was
expended during the year for improves
ments, mainly for a new mill. In de-
Gliding the case the Chief Justice says:
Nothing is more difficult to define
than values. Sugar plantation proper
ty may be worth its definitely-ascer-
tanned salable or purchasable value or
it's value as shown by profits obtained
or obtainable, depending upon skill and
judgment as we'll as expenditure of
money, the result being contingent
upon variable factors of cost, produc-
ton and market prices. 1t would be
entirely unsafe to test values of cor
poration property solely by sales Of
shares of its stock or by prices offered
without regard to the number of shares
sold or bid for, or whether they are
bought for investment or speculative
purposes. No hard and fast rule Of
testing values can be made to apply
in all cases, and yet practical common
sense and a desire to assess at their
fair value furnish an excellent guide.
1.-The appraisement of the board OF
equalization making shares about $142
is probably a reasonable estimate OF
the sum for which the plantation
could readily be sold, but the appeal
court, after hearing the testimony OF
the Assessor as well as Of the man
ager, Mr.. Wells, placing the value at
81, zoe, 900, valued the property 100000
above his estimate, and lowered the
Assessors S3S0000.
This court has universally held that
it does not reduce or increase the val
uation made by a tax appeal court
which appears to be fair and just, but
allows it to stand unless shown to be
erroneous. or based on a wrong theory
or insufficient data"
