YOUNG MEN ENJOY
DELIGHTFUL BOATING TRIP

viii Sweet, Harry MciGynn, and
Albert Bruderli returned from
very delightful boating trip by way
of the Wisconsin river to the DellS at
Kilbourn last week.
The young men left here Tuesday
morning in a row boat rowing at times
and when tired, drifting leisurely
with the currant. When night over
took them, they sought a convenient
camping place upon the shores of the
old WisconSe, pitched their tent and
prepared their meal and bed for the
night; the former consisting of fish
and other game caught enroute, and
the latter Of the OdoriferUuS boughs
of pine and hemlock. The distance
traverSed leads one through one of the
most beautiful and picturesque por-
tionS of the grand old river, and is
indeed most delightful trip to make
especially at this time of the year,
They arrived at Kilbourn Friday
afternoon in time to catch the north
bound G. M. & ST. Paul passenger
upon which they returned to this city.
The distance by way of the river from
Grand Rapids to Kilbourn is some
what over 100 miles. About four
days were required to make the trip.

MUST PAY $4,000 TAX
Adrian Cameron Must pay In
heritanCe Tax in Wisconsin
as Well as in California.

County Judge Carpenter today de.
cided that Adrian Cameron, grandson
of Mrs. Mary TibbitS Cameron, must
pay s., 900 inheritance tax in WiSCOn-
sin. The decision is deemed of great
Importance and the case will probably
not be ended until the supreme court
has made the final decision.
Mrs. Cameron left an estate of about
S500,000, most of it in Wisconsin.
Adrian Cameron is one or the three
heirs who got $3.50, 600, He claimed,
when asked TO pay an inheritance tax
in Wisconsin, that he had paid tax
in California, declaring that the laws
of Wisconsin and California on this
point are similar. He contested the
Wisconsin tax.
Judge Carpenter today decided that
he must pay the Wisconsin tax no
matter what he paid in California,
The cOntesting heirs claim that this
is double taxation. 1t was asserted
that Mrs. Cameron was a resident of
California at the time of her death.
She died NoY. 81. 1905. Her will was
pro5ated in Los Angeles the following
February.
The defendent in this case quoted
the fourteenth amendment of the
federal constitution in support of his
stand. Milwaukee Journal.

GRAND RAPIDS ONE
RIPON ZERO

Perhaps one of the most interesting
and exciting games Of base ball ever
played IN Grand Rapids took place
Sunday afternoon between a team
from RipOn and the locals. The teams
were evenly matched and they were
obliged TO play thirteen innings before
either team were able to. score and
Grand Rapids was fortunate in max
ing the first and only score and thaJ
occurred in last half Of 18th inning.
The large crowd present simply went
wild when this happened. The visit
ing team were pleased with the
umpire, Ex-Mayor Wheelan. and the
excellent treatment they received
while in the city. The Ripon team
is one of the best base ball mines out
side the State League. 1t is the
universal opinion of those who saw
the game that it was the best
game ever played here on the
diamond. 1t was almost errorless on
both sides.

in this city, was kicked insenSible Mon.
day while riding pony belonging to
the McLynn boys and was pastured in
the Arpin pasture near the first ward
school house. Several of the boys had
been riding the pony during the fore
noon and probably had exhausted the
pony's good nature and when this boy
got on to ride the pony laid back his
ears and threw the boy off his back
and kicked him with both feet as he
slid off striking him on the right side
of the temple between the eye and
little above the ear. The skull was
fractured and his brains were oozing
out of the fracture. Physicians were
called and they operated upon his head
and did every thing possible for the boy
and we now believe he Will recover un-
less something else develops, not now
looked for.
The family and friends are all very
anxious for his recovery. They
have the sympathy of neighbors
and friends in this unfortunate
accident.

FOUR POUND BLACK BASS

Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Muir and family
have been camping at the Club House
up the river the past week and acting
as chaperons for company of young
people who have also been putting in
the week in camp life. They have all
given considerable time to fishing at
intervals during their stay and caught
many fish, but Mrs. Muir had the
greatest pleasure and honor of catch
ing the largest small mouth black
bass OF the season, weighing little
better than four pounds. Mr.. and
Mrs. Muir were out fishing together
Sunday morning. He was rowing
and she was trolling with a spoon
hook and minnoW. When the bass
took the hook Mrs. Muir realized she
had fish of some consequence and
she handled him alone. 1t required
an hour or more to land him and the
way he would come out of the water
in his daShes at attempted freedom
was a caution. Mrs. Muir did not
call upon her husband to help her
but handled him all alone and landed
him in the boat her trophy.

NEKOOSA 4
PORT EDWARDS :

Considerable rivalry has been en-
gendered between the base ball teams
of Nekoosa and Port Edwards. The
teams are made up of paper mill boys
from the mills in each place. Several
games have alre ady been played with
close winnings by each team. They
play for blood and sometimes for a
little money jast to make the games
interesting. Sunday these two teams
came together tat Nekoosa and the
Port Edwards fans felt positive they
were going to win and provided them
selves with variety of instruments
with which to celebrate their victory.
Instead of victory at the close of the
18th inning they met with defcatiOn
a score of to g. This was great
disappointment but they bad lots OF
fun just the same. The rivalry is
good natured and pleasant and large
crowds attend the games.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
DEAN HENRY
His Opinion on the Constitu-
tional Amendment for State
Aid for Roads.

AS many people are interested in
the constitutional amendment to per-
NIT the State to aid in improving
roads the following expression from a
man who has had the interests of the
farmers of Wisconsin at heart for
many years cannot fail to be of value.
The passage of this amendment is
the first step toward the adoption of a
road system under which any town
tnat is progressive enough to vote to
improve its roads can get aid from the
State. The town first votes of its own
free will, to improve its roads, and
when it has done so the country and
state help to pay for them.
When asked for his opinion Dean
Henry said
ANY attempt to change the consJi.
| tuition of Wisconsin to allow for in.
ternal improvements will naturally
be preceded by much agitation and
discussion. Discussion concerning ouI
public highways cannot but be pro-
dGcUive of good for now that the pio.
neer stage of agriculture is past, ru-
raj progress from this time on is more
directly dependent on the condition
of our highways than on any other
factor. Whoever studies the present
conditions of our roads and our man
ner of dealing with them must admit
that the whole situation is bad. Ii
may be expressed by the two words
arrested Developments. / am in
favor of any and all efforts that will
help bring about the read improve
ment of our highways.

Since his wife's death, his friends say,
he had never ceased to mourn. Money
losses, too, have troubled him seri-
ously. Negotiations made by several
of his agents proved to be fraudulent,
it is said, and he had been called upon
to square all the deals. This caused
his fortune. which was at one time
estimated at several hundred thous-
and dollars, to diminish rapidly, and
creditors were beseiging him from
every side. Several cases had been
settled without litigation, but it is be-
lIeVed that he could have gone no
further without declaring himself a
bankrupt.-St Paul Pioneer Press.

GRAND RAPIDS 5, MERRILL 2

The game of base ball between Mer-
rill and Grand Rapids drew a fairly
good crowd for week day on Thurs
day afternoon and the game proved
TO be interesting. 1t was the judg-
ment of the spectators that Grand
Rapids should have shut out Merrill
and would have, had it not been for a
costly error. These teams are well
matched and usually put up a good
game. The Merrill boys have an ex-
cellent reputation here Ind are always
welcomed by Grand Rapids people
The relations between the two teams
are social and pleasant, and consider
able rivalry is evident when playing.

FARMERS MASS MEETING
Potato, Hay and Barley Growers
Aroused as Never Before.

In view of what seems to be deter
mined and concerted action on the
part of the speculative trusts. largely
in control of the markets for potatoes,
hay and barley, the State Union of the
A. S. of E. has issued a call for a
Mass Meeting of the growers
of these crops to be held at Grand
Rapids, Wis, Aug. 18th and 10Th.
The call urges not only the growers
of those crops to be present but invites
managers of independent potato
houses and shipping stations, farmers
and business men generally to be pre-
sent, that they may take notice of the
movement and that it will be direct
benefit to every business man as well
as to the farmer.
TIE call recites the fact that five
cent drop on the price of potatoes
means loss of million dollars to the
farmers. Fifty cents a ton less on
hay is another million loss and one
cent bushel drop on barley is over
two-hundred thousand dollars loss. 1t
means also proportionate loss to the
business trade The loss is loss to
the state as it is so much tribute to
the city speculators. 1t also affects
the welfare of labor in the state and
every other legitimate business.
This is strictly farmers movement
seeking to maintain steady profitable
prices for farm products, and from
what the American Society of Equity
has already accomplished should meet
the strongest support of the entire
farming population
A large gathering of farmers from
all parts of the state is certain to be
the result of this call.
