ADDS Is ENGINES
Increase OF Business COmpelS
The Use Of Many More En-.
zines.

So-called hard times wave doesn't
appear to have affected the business
of the valley division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road, judging
from the reports of one of the lead
ing local officials of the division. In
stead of a decrease in business and the
consequent reduction in the working
forces such as have been the case in
many branches in the commercial
world, the st. Paul railway company,
on this division particularly, is enjoy
ing a three-fold increase in business
and is increasing it's force of help &C
cordingly. The increase is so great
in fact, said the official, that the COM
pany's transportation equipment at
the normal stage of traffic i'm the
freight department, is inadequate to
handle it, consequently the company
ordered Is additional 10-wheel engines
for duty along this line. Seven of
them have already arrived and the
balance will arrive at the rate of one
or two daily. These are not brand
new engines, but are some that have
been damaged in various ways on the
system and undergone repairs in the
company's shops. These Is additional
engines mean the same number of
additional trains on this line and the
same number of additional crews of
five each, Is men over the regular
number of rainmen-Wausau Record

day evening. Thus another good and
needed work is begun, and those who
have. heretofore, not been particularly
humane in their treatment of animals
or children, may expect to receive the
full benefit of the state laws for any
act of theirs which deserves punish
ment. The cruel whipping of horses,
dogs or other animals, or the cruel
and inhumane treatment of child
will bring its just punishment.
The call for the meeting Monday
night was signed by fully one hundred
of the substantial people of this city.
and the attendance at the meeting
was fully representative.
In calling the meeting to order b.
W. Lyon, who has been active in
bringing the organization about,
spoke Interestingly of the acts which
inspired the efforts in his mind, and
the method of organization as out
lined by the state organization.
He was followed by Atty. Louis A.
Bauman, who explained the laws OF
| Wisconsin in reference to this organi-
zation, and the powers of it's officers
Prof. M. Fl. Jackson then urged the
necessity and ACCESSIBILITY of an or
ganization of this kind, and dwelt
particularly upon the possibilities OF
educating the people to be mindful OF
dumb animals, and thus avoid the
necessity of meeting out punishments.
Other speakers including DIR. Klute,
of Milwaukee, participated.
A committee consisting of Attys
Louis A. Bauman, Geo. L. Williams
and E. P. Arpin was appointed by the
chair to recommend suitable bylaws
The report of this committee was
then adopted.
The following directors were
elected: r. W. Lyon, E. P. Arpin
Geo. L. Williams, f. J. Wood anc
Earl Pease.
The directors will at a subsequent
meeting elect officers and appoint al
agent to enforce the laws.

There is a strong sentiment ex-
pressed among the Republicans of
Grand Rapids, for party nominations
for city officers this spring. Under
the present non-partisan system both
parties are held responsible for the
administration yet the city officers
are democrats. The Republicans
feel that the party should be held re-
ponsible for the city administration
of affairs, only when the party is re-
sponsible for the officers Therefor
they urge party nominations for city
officers, the same as for county
officers.
All Republicans are asked to express
themselves on this question, so that
the party organization may take the
necessary steps to nominate a party
ticket.
There are two sides to this ques-
ton, but we think it is wise to hold
each party responsible for it's own ad-
ministration of affairs, both in city
and county.

When the people can be made TO
understand that it actually costs more
in time and money to travel over a
poor road than it does to travel over a
good one, they will be less inclined to
begrudge the expense of good roads,
and what is more important still, will
be willing and anxious to put the
business of roadmaking into the hands
of intelligent men who understand
the business. Poor roads are the eX-
pensiye things that curse country

heavens sake go into some secluded

chance. One longed-faced, hollow
