Very Stcep Railway.

What claims to be the steepest rail.
way limo in the world is that recently
opened near Bozen, in the Tyrol. The
Mendel railway. with gradient of
64 in 100, and the Vesuvian, with 63,
have hitherto hold the record. But
the new line in its steepest part rises
20 in 100 and in other parts G6.
1t leads up the mountainside to Vir
gil Terrace, on the River Eisach. The
system employed is that of the elec.
trical wire rope and the ascent is
made at the rate of five feet second
or five minutes for the whole distance
The car of four compartments carries
32 passengers.

TO WITHDRAW LANDS
C. & N. W. R'y. Will No Longer
Offer Timber Lands For
Sale in Wisconsin
STATE WILL TAKE NEW WORK

Officials Of the Northwestern road ex-
plain that the road has withdrawn it's
entire timber holdings in northern
Wisconsin, amounting to about 100000
acres and about the same number in,
the upper Michigan peninsula.
The railway company will also enter
upon a gigantic system of reforestation
intending to raise enough timber to
furnish supplies for the entire North
western system, including ties, bridge
timber and so on. Instead Of abandon
ing the cut over lands, as so many tim
Der companies have done, the North
western will Systematically plant trees,
under the supervision Of Clifford Pinchot
Of the United States department Of
forestry.
AS the tie timber is cut away, the
company will clear off the underbrush
and plant new trees. The cedar, hem
lock, tamarack, oak, maple and elm
now on these lands, will be cut systema-
tically, only as needed, but instead Of
making clean sweep as the lumber
men have done, only trees Of a suitable
size will be cut, and these will be re-
placed by reforestation. Not an acre
ct timber land Will be sold at any price.
Experience has shown that reforesta-
ton Of lands pays back the original in
vestment in twenty years with four
per cent interest while in fifty years
the investment will be quadrupled.
Other railways have adopted the plan
Of raising trees, the Illinois Central
raising catalpas, and the Pennsylvania
system and other lines have planted
trees along their entire route, to furnish
timber for ties ana construction work.
The forest lands of northern Wiscon-
sin, northern Michigan and portions Of
Minnesota, are recognized by forest ex-
perts as the finest natural nurseries for
forest trees, in the United States.
State Takes Up Work.
In addition to this, the state of Wis
consin has actively begun the work
f reforestation Of cut over lands. Last
winter bill was put through congress,
by which the government decided to the
state some thousands of acres of lands.
some Of which are in Ashland county.
The state will endeavor to cover these
tracts again, with forests, partly for
the purpose of retaining the rainfall and
furnishing sources of supply to rivers
and small streams, partly to form per-
manent state parks and to restore
beauty spots, where the lumberman s
work has devastated the country. The
state now practically owns all Of the
land on both banks Of the Brule, in
addition to thousands Of acres else
where.

CLAIMS LICENSES ILLEGAL

The Wisconsin Anti-Saloon League
is planning to start a fight in Kenosha
in the near future which will be of
interest, not only to the men who are
seeking the enforcement of the laws
to the letter, but to the saloon men
themselves. A. II. Zechiel of Apple
ton, one Of the leading workers Of the
league has announced that the league
has made an Investigation Of the saloon
licenses in Kenosha and they have
found thirty two saloon keepers in this
city who are doing business on the
partial payment plan. The members
Of the league have carefully looked in
to these cases and in the words of the
Appleton worker "when we get around
to it we are going make those fell
lows take out a full license y The
trouble has all come over the fact that
the City Council of Kenosha has for
years followed a plan Of rebating a
portion of the fees for licenses The
licenses are supposed to be taken out
on the first day Of each July and the
Supreme Court has held that regardless
of the time before or after this date
it is up to the saloon men to pay the
full license fee. In Kenosha the Coun,
Gil has repeatedly granted these rebates
to saloon men and the amount returned
IS figured pro-rata for the number OF
months the license is to run.
The officials Of the league looked
over the licenses at the time Of the
recent visit to Kenosha and it is on
this information that it is stated that
thirty-tWo of the saloons are running
on the partial license proposition Ac-
cording to the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court these saloon men can
be arrested and forced to pay the re
mainder Of the license.
IF the league, goes into this matter
at length and can go back for few
years and collect up all the related
licenses the tax levy for the coming
year will be considerably less than it
has been.
The league has also decided to send
out notice to the owners of all pic
mic parks in the state that beer can
not be sold at these parks unless the
party taking it out has secured full
license from the city for this particu-
lar place. For many years saloon men
OF Kenosha have had licenses trans
ferred to Washington Island, Bonds
Woods and other places for a single
day in order to take care Of some
picnic, but under the ruling Of the
Supreme Court this will be impossible
in the future and if beer is sold at
such picnics it must be sold under
specific license taken out for this
place. The saloon men are anxiously
waiting for the league to start prose
cution here.

placed in circulation in all parts Of the

md for this reason it is possible that
This territory will receive many of the

The safe plan according to the post
master is to demand Identification or
else send the orders to TIE postoffice
for casning by the people presenting
them.
