PROGRESS IS FINE
Will Be in Operation Here
Early in Spring or

The following from the Milwaukee
Sentinel of the 8th inst, will be of
interest to the people of this city:
1--WE expect now to have our new
line running in Watertown early in
the spring or summer" said W. O..
Stone at the Hotel pfister yesterday.
This fine weather is just what We
want and enables uos to push work
rapidly. We have SIX miles of track
laid on the line which extends from
Oconomowoc 90 Watertown, a distance
of little over sthirteeu miles, and
the work of grading the remainder is
now in progress. Although We make
a slight detour SO as to take in Pipers-
VILE and give the inhabitants of that
little village transportation facilities,
our line will be exactly the same
length as the st. Paul road between
the two cities. We did not expect to
get into Watertown until some time
in the summer, but the good weather
which We have had has hepled won
derfully. 1t looks now as though
the road would be ready for bust

MISUNDERSTANDING
OF E|GHT-H0UR LAW
Newspapers do Not Seem to
Understand Effect of New
Light Hour Law.

Numerous newspapers about the
state have made the statement that
the railroads here in the state are
preparing to install telephones IN the
various stations and thus allow oper-
ators to work twelve hours. This is
not So. The term operator is defined
in the law, section 2, as can emplove
who, by tie use of the telegraph or
telephone, dispatches or reports,
transmits, dilivers or receives orders
pertaining to or effecting the move
ment of cars, engines or trans,
by or under what is known and termed
the block sysem." 1t can be seen from
this that an operator can work no
longer when he uses telephone than
when he uses telegraph instrument.
The purpose of the railroads in in
stalling telephones is entirely differ
emit. The intention is to put tele-
phones in small stations where there
is no need of keeping operators on
duty all the time. If then, train
should become disabled near such a
station the telephone will give the
crew means of communicating with
headquarters. No orders will be de-
livered over the telephone. nor will any
trains be block ed by phone The teIe-
phones will be intalled simply for
emergencies.

(From Thursdays Daily.D

Watertown neople who have been

was Introduced in the trial which
should not have been and did not pass
upon the constitutionality of the law.
Whether oleomargarIne, colored SO
that it clUsely resembles butter. can

bitterly contested by Nowack & Meyer,
as agents for Swift & Co. of Chicago.
These men were convicted in this
county last spring before Judge George
Grimm for selling oleomarg arine Gin

ed by the Wisconsin statute, but not
by the national law. The whole fight
hinges on whether the oIeomargarine

shade that il could not be- easily
detected. The circuit courts of this
state have held both ways. but Com
missioner Emery is still enforcing the

especially pleased with the local plant

of the kind we have erected and | can
say unhesitatingly that 1t is the most

Aksed as to the outlook tor supply
of milk, Mr.. Van Camp said: "For
n start, We find that the supply of
milk is very satisfactory. Of course
it is not one fourth of what we expect
it will be in sixty days from the time
We started. The opening day of the
plant, the supply Of milk was 1000
pounds. There has been a gradual
increase till the amount on Wednesday
morning reached something over Is. 600
pounds. During the early days of
operating, the supply has been
sufficient, till the machinery works
more freely and the employees becon
accustomed to their Duties 1t viii

is the intention of the company to
