BEAVERS DO USEFUL WORK.
Saved Canadian Government $4,000
on Building of Trent Canal.

The industry and skill of colony
of beavers has this year saved the do
minion government $4,000 or more
in work on the Trent canal.
Superintendent ]. Fl. McClelland of
the Trent canal told the remarkable
happening. The government, he said,
placed a dam across Gull river last au-
tumn for the purpose of raising and
conserving the water of Little Mud
lake. On its completion it was found,
however, that the water of the lake
backed up and began running in the
wrong direction As consequence,
it was decided to build second dam
at the northern outlet this season
Last spring, however, it was found a
dam 700 feet long and seven feet deep
had been constructed by beavers dur
ing the frozen winter months There
is not a leak discernible, and no like
lihood of future leaks, at least for
years to come.
Mr.. McClelland ordered another
stop log to be placed upon the first
dam to raise the water an additional
foot and send it flowing northward
over the beavers obstruction. In
stantly the ambitious little animals
set to work, and added another foot to
he dam.

STRONG WITH ALL
S. A. COOK NOT THE EXPONENT
OF ANY ONE FACTION.
IS THE PEOPLES CANDIDATE
Voters of Wisconsin Will Recognize in
This Thorough Representative of
Their State Man Peculiarly Fitted
for the High Office of United States
Senator.


When in Milwaukee the other day,
S. A. Cook of Neenah, who is a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
United States SENATOR told the news
paper men who called upon him for
news as to the progress of his cam
paign that he had nothing to say
against the other fellows.
Mr.. Cook is not trying to make head
way in his campaign by detracting
from the others. There are four al
together, and the other three are ap-
parently trying to appeal to the voters
by calling each other names.
Il am talking nothing except that if
the people believe that | am the man
for the senate they ought to get out
and tell their neighbors so. Let the
others engage in wrangling among
themselves. I'm too busy meeting the
voters for that kind of campaigning. :"
And if the indications the past few
days can be relied upon, S. A. Cook
of Neenah is the man who is making
gains in this four-cornered contest.
His friends claim that he is the log
ical candidate from every point of
view and is bound to be in strong at
the finish, and their claims seem to be
borne out by the facts.
In the first place, they say, Mr.. Cook
is not the exponent of any faction
and the people are tired of a continu-
ance of the senseless factional
wrangle after the principles over
which there was disagreement have
been determined and fixed. Secondly,
Mr.. Cook is thorough representative
of Wisconsin product, understanding
fully the needs of the state. Again,
he is strong with the farmers because
he has done much for them and In
fact regards himself still one of them,
although he has not actively engaged
in farming for several years. But he
attends their gatherings and takes
part in their discussions. Again, he
is particularly well-liked by the dairy
men of the state--and there are thou
sands and thousands of them-because
he helped pass the filed cheese bill
while in congress, a measure which
means more to the farmers and dairy
men than any other single measure
enacted in the past generation. Be-
sides all that, he is a veteran of the
civil war and occupies a warm spot in
the hearts of his comrades of the Ct.
A. r. He is also great friend of the
boys of the National Guard having Ia
ken lively interest in his home COM
pany and presented magnificent ar
mory for the use of the boys.
These are but few of the many ell
ements of strength in the Cook cam
palgn.
The greatest element Of strength,
however, is the personality of the man
himself He is too busy to engage in
chickering's with his rival candidates.
He is getting votes for himself.
The primary election will be held
September 1, 1908.

When the Good Frau FrivoIs.

German women, especially German
matrons, are accredited by the I'M
thinking with extreme stolidity, but
when the Teutonic mamma is out
with her good man and the kinder"
who so gay as she? One can see her
in her glory in any of the really Ger
man beer gardens of the metropolis,
whether In Manhattan or at Coney Is
land. There is a place at the island
where German families gather to
drink imported beer and wine and lis
ten to TyroIean singers and German
band and a big calliope. 1t is like
bit Of Berlin, for ones feet rest on
a coating of gravel spread on the
ground, and the tables stand among
real trees, big trees with plenty of
shade. Soft green electric lights i'm
part an aesthetic glow. On all sides
good feeling is abundant, and it is a
pleasant sight the well dressed fraus
and frauleins make as they sit with
their sons and husbands and brothers
and fathers, enjoying the brews of
the fatherland as well as its music.
And If anybody thinks the German
woman cannot be as lightheaded as
any Parisienne a glance at the laugh
ing, chattering assemblage quickly
will change that opinion.-New York

S. A. COOKS PROMISE
OF A SQUARE DEAL

In accepting the call of over $4,000
voters Of Wisconsin to become a can
didate for United States senator, Hon.
S. A. Cook said among other things:
whatever my attitude in public or
private life has been in the past, it has
been assumed and performed con-
scientiously and with good intent by
me, and have no apology to offer
for it.
Il make no bid for any mans vote
for my personal benefit only; nor do
I desire to round out or end my life
work in Washington.
"As your candidate | will go direct
to the voters of the state with the re-
quest that they carefully consider the
situation and the men they are asked
to vote for, as to what is best for their
own interests, not forgetting the con-
sideration due their fellow men, as no
man can build and maintain position
long by tearing down the good name
or legitimate business of others.

HAS WORKED FOR FARMERS.
What S. A. Cook, Candidate for United
States Senator, Has Done.

The nomination of United States
senator at the primary election to be
held September 1, 1908, is of universal
Importance to the farming and dairy
interests of the state, owing to the
great growth of these industries dur
ing the pas few years. Wisconsin
has been steadily coming to the front
in dairy and farm products, until she
stands among the foremost of the
states of this nation.
One of those who have given of
their time and energy to develop these
interests is Hon. S. A. Cook of Neen-
ali, candidate for the nomination for
United States senator. 1t is safe to say
that no man has rendered more i'm
portant service to the farmers and
dairymen than Mr. Cook. Regardless
of party affiliation the farmers and
dairlymen should rally to the support
of Mr.. Cook. Coming from the farm
and still engaged in that industry, he
is naturally interested in problems af-
fecting the farming and dairy inter-
ests. While in congress he secured
which has meant millions of dollars
to the farmers in Wisconsin and
throughout the country, affecting as 1t
did almost every branch of the farm
industry.
This bill provided that filed cheese,
which was an imitation of the real
cheese and cheaply made, but sold in
= h rf,.r WI oI0
to the detriment of the honest manu-
facturer, should be branded for just
what it was. At the time of the pas
sage of this bill Mr.. Cook was highly
praised for his work by papers
interested in farming and dairying,
and was warmly indorsed by various
associations of farmers and dairymen.
He has kept up his interest in these
matters since leaving congress, aiding
them in every possible way.
Mr. Cook also advocated a pure
food law similar to the one recently
passed. He introduced in congress
a bill. and urged its passage, for pure
seed law. and furnished the proof
showing that fully one-half the mix
ture called seed sold to the farmers
had no life germ, and still worse, con-
tanned more or less mixture of foul
seed. two measures the value of
which agricultural interests will read
lily appreciate
Mr.. Cook is a successful business
man. energetic, a believer in the
Roosevelt doctrines, and with his pre-
vious experience as mayor, member
of assembly and congressman, will
make a valuable member of the
United States senate.
The primary election will be held
| September 1, 1908.

ENDORSED BY DAIRYMEN.
w. H. Putnan.

While S. A. Cook Of Neenah,
candidate for the nomination for
United States senator, took an
exceptionally active interest N
the farming and dairy interests
while member of congress a few
years ago, his interest die not
cease when he retired from office.
Year after year he has given va
rious prizes in an effort to make
the standard Of Wisconsin dairy
products better. AS result he
has been highly praised for his
work, this often taking the form
of resolutions Of thanks by varl-
Gus associations. At the session
of the Wisconsin Buttermakers'
association in February, 1903, the
president took occasion to COM
mend Mr.. Cook highly for what he
had done, saying Of Mr., Cook:
"He certainly has done as much
for the dairy interest as any man
in our state, and ! feel that 1t Is
the duty of this convention to rec
ognize the fact"

Wisconsin, and during his term of
office as congressman was instru-
mental in passing number of

s. A. COOKS SERVICE.

a characteristic keynote sounds
throughout Mr.. Cooks acceptance,
and it is spelled by the simple word
service" He began to serve
when very small boy on the
farm, and found peculiar joy in IT.
There is greater phase of SER
vice in the life of this plain, sue
cessful mantle service in cour-
age and good cheer extended his
kin and the people who live near
him. 1t is not a service of senti-
mental, enervating indulgence, but
q service that puts opportunity in
the way of the discouraged, ard
that awakens courageous and In
dependent determination to make
the best of it.-Neenah Daily

For the first time in Wisconsin the
people will vote directly for a United
States senator at the primaries, upon
the first day of next September. The
legislature is morally bound to elect
the man whom the people choose. Mr..
Cook became candidate because pc
titions were presented to him, signed by
over $4,000 voters of Wisconsin, com
prising farmers, dairymen, business,
professional and laboring men, re.
questing him to do so. His candidacy
is above factionalism and, if elected
he will truly represent the whole PEG.
