The London Times states that the two
steamers ordered for the White Star

for 81 minutes Orville Wright at Fort
Myer this morning made q new record.

dence.
Brazil is reported to be contemplating
a valorization scheme for the support of
sugar prices. If she is wise she will wait

of cholera in St. Petersburg should

made against it.
The japanese have shown good sense
in postponing till 1917 their projected
industrial exposition which was to have !

itself injury by stunning demand Per- |
haps the Meat Trust may contemplate |
lower prices for fish. Only perhaps.

lished, the University of Wisconsin foot |
bali team will play only five games dur |
ing the approaching season--three at |
Madison, one at Bloomington, Indiana, |
and one at Minneapolis. Milwaukee will |
continue to want her oft-requested "big |

4 carload of black bass fry has just
been liberated in Pewaukee lake. a sheet
of water which once provided the finest
bass fishing in the State Of Wisconsin.
If these fish are afforded proper protec-
ton through cooperation of residents
along the banks of the lake with the
state game and fish authorities, Pewau-
kee lake will in the course of time again
become attractive TO anglers who delight
in capturing fish in sportsmanhke ways.
