FIRST STATE CAPITOL:
BIRTHPLACE OF WISCONSIN Ie
 STILL STANDING.
Erection of lmp6sins Structure at Madison Recalls Humble Building Where Territorial AdmInls-
 tration Was Organized.

Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin's new capitol will be sumptuous structure compared with the building the state fathers occupied when they gathered in legislative session in 1S4S. The de. velopment of the great commonwealth is shown in the required amplitication of its statehouse. The legislature of Wisconsin has far outgrown the mod est little building which at the time of its erection was considered the finest of its kind. It has demands that the enlarged capitol could not meet, and so the old will give place to the new.
 Work on the new structure is being rapidly pushed, and at the meeting of December 27 specimens of the best grades of building material for the outside walls were submitted by Architect Post.
 In the early days many towns were anxious to have the capitol building located within their limits, and many a bitter contest was waged over it's location. None of the seventeen appli- cants succeeded in securing it. A town was laid out especially adapted to its needs, site unrivaled in nat ural beauty by any Wisconsin town.
 The location of the present state capitol was selected by James D. Doty in 1886, and in December of that year when the legislature convened at Bel mont, an act was passed to establish the statehouse at Madison. There were many reasons why this site was selected, and chief among them was the central location. Milwaukee, Green Bay and the lead mining region in the southwestern part of the state were the principal centers of immigration and of activity, so in selecting Madi- son the distance from any one of the points would be about equal The Wisconsin territory had belonged to the Michigan tract. It was partitioned and organized at Mineral Point July 4, 1886, into the territory of Wiscon- sin. The first legislative body met at Belmont and there was long struggle as to where the capitol of the new

Some of these towns were, as yet, not laid out. but their promoters had hopes for them if the capitol was erected at the point advocated.
 It was decided that the permanent structure would he at Madison and a commission consisting of James D. Doty. A. A. Bird and John O'Neil was appointed by the government to begin work at once. On July 4, 1887, the cornerstone was laid with ceremonies appropriate to the occasion. The leg. islature of Wisconsin met for the first time at Madison in 1888, but. as the capitol building was not at that time in a suitable condition for occupation the session was held in the basement of the American house. where the an- nual message of the governor. Henry Dodge. was delivered. During 1886 and 1887 the national government ap- propriated s40.00O for the capitol building. Dane county s4.000. and the territorial legislature apout s16.000, making the complete cost $60 900. The building, when finished. was a substan. tial structure, which in architectural design and convenience of arrange. ment compared favorably with capi. tols of the adjacent states.
 The building was enlarged from time to time to provide for the growing wants of the state.
 In 1904 a portion of the north wing and the greater part of the interior of the capitol was destroyed by fire.
 The first legislative hall of wiscon. sin is still standing and there are many earnest people in the state who Atl lCSAOi least. to have 1t saved from the desc cration it is at present subjected to. At the time when the first legislative body sat in conference. the building was a story and half frame house. battlement fronted. It was at the meeting in this humble place that the territorial administration was or. ganized, the territory divided into counties. county seats established. ways and means of borrowing money discussed. This birthplace of the great state of Wisconsin must always be of interest to it's citizens. who can never forget the wisdom and forethought of the pioneers who. meeting to establish a great commonwealth. laid the foun- dations for the good of posteTity. The old building at Belmont Is perhaps nothing more to many than any other old landmark. but to the earnest minded it stands for something more.

The tyranny of MT. Haldane in re moving the Scots Greys from Edin
 burgh has brought to light again a
 long ago forgotten incident of military
 interest to Scotland. Years ago, in
 Cromwell's time. an island of the coast of Scotland was garrisoned by a number of Ironsides, and they were actually forgotten. At any rate. the troops were never withdrawn, and rec ord ayers that the men intermarried

The "BacheIor Girl"

Bachelor girl" Is said to be dis placing "old maid" in current speech Ben Jonson used the word bachelor to mean single woman. In the old French "bachelette" meant a youns and pretty girl. especially if she had a lover. Etymology has nothing to say against a feminine bachelor since the word seems to be the late Latin 'baccalarius," farm servant or more literally cowherd t5acca or vacca, meaning cow), and "baccalari us" had a feminine 'baccalaria."

To Increase Valuations.
For the purpose OF increasing the
valuation Of the taxable property of
the state to nearer its actual value
and for the purpose Of giving the state
greater limit regarding its bonded in
debtedness. Treasurer Hastings sug-
gests an amendment to section 1888
Of article Of the session laws Of 1899,
which gives the state board power to
ada to or deduct from the aggregate
valuation OF all property In any coun-
ty such percentage OF such aggregate
valuation as may be necessary in the
opinion of the board to establish uni
formity and equality Of valuation
among the several counties of the
state. Attached is a provision that
the decrease or increase shall not be
an amount in excess of two percentum
Of the total valuation stated in the
abstracts returned, MT, Hastings sug-
gests that the amendment make 1t is
percentufn instead of percentum.
"Granting this amendment were
passed and the valuation Of the state
was raised to 1920, ,OOO," he says,
'the bonded Indebtedness could be
raised to $500, 900"

quests the following appropriations for
the coming two years:
Salary state acditor ........$ 4,Soo
Clerk hire 10000
Office expense Commencement. 1000
Expense board of equalization. 500
For the last two years clerk hire

229.27, the other items being the same
as asked for next year. At the end

ton $266s and for clerk hire 1919.
In asking for an increase for clerk

ticularly to the great amount of work
resulting from the auditor having
been made ex-officio state recorder of
stock brands.
Bank Commissioner,
Bank Commissioner Loveland esti-
mates that his department should
have an appropriation of $4,000, Of
which $4,000 is salary and $500 for

State Engineer.

A quite lengthy statement is made
by the state engineer. He shows that
the duties of his department have
greatly increased and that an extra
clerk is badly needed. The appropria-
ton of $500 for 1sO5-0s, although
used very wisely and economically was
not sufficient. the total expense
amounting to sS.154s1. Fees during
the period turned in to the general
fund from his department amounted
to $13,002.55. He makes a careful
detailed estimate of the needs Of the
office for the coming two years and
requests an appropriation of $4,000
He estimates that for 1907-oS the fees
of the office will not be less than $15,-
600 and he expects the fees to exceed
100000.

ing two years. For 1905 and 1906 the
appropriation for clerk hire and Of
fee expenses was $1,000 and there was
a deficiency of s1,6S2.16. The treas
urer states:
State Depository Law.
"Since the state depository law be-
came operative about 1s months ago
there has accrued in interest on state
funds deposited in banks the sum OF
s13,334.27 and $4,000 is conserva-
tive estimate for the years 1907 and
1908. The operation OF this law has
more than doubled the work ana ex-
pense of this department, but will pay
all the expenses of the office and turn
into the treasury a surplus of over
$4,000"
Treasurer Hastings suggests to the
committee the appropriation of $16,-
900 per year to pay the interest on
warrants to be issued each year, He
also suggests that the fees for filing
articles of Incorporation be increased.
Accompanying the committee re-
port is a statement by Mr.. Hastings
to the governor of optional state ponds
that can be retired in 1907 and 1908
as follows:
Idaho Normal school bonds. -. $4,000
Estimated redemption by June /,
1907, $4,000; the balance can be re-
deemed by June 1, 1908. The state
ment continues:
Law Concerning Debts. =
Section 1 of article s says: The
legislature shall not in any manner
create any debt or debts, liability or
liabilities, which shall singly or in the
aggregate, exclusive or the debt OF the
territory at the date of It's admission
as a state, exceed the sum Of IL per
