A Governors Opinion on the
Chicago Stock. Show

Governor Cummins, mon being
asked TO express an opinion relative
to the International Live Stock Expo
sition uf Chicago, which will be held
from Nov. 2Sth to Dec. 10th, made the
following sta tement: The Interna-
tlonal Live Stock Exposition has been
potent factor in giving to the live
stock industry the position 1t ought to
mold througout the West. 1t has
brougt into existence many other ex-
positions of like character In the Mis-
sissippi valley and infused new life,
into the science of breeding. LII my
own state its effect upon the display
of live stock at the state far has been
So noticeable that 1t is everywhere
rem arked.
Chicago is peculiarly we'll situated
for such an exposition 1t is conven
lent to the North, South, East and
West. In Chicago, the champion herds

annual show season, to contest for
final honors. with minimum trouble

Short Course a Paying In
VeStmGnt

Madison, Wis, Nov. 24-Graduates
tell of increased income f'Um scienti-
fic farming methods.
The successes of former students
of the short course in agriculture at
the College of Agriculture, Univ ersi-
ty of Wisconsin, have demonstrated
the possibilities open to bright farm
boys by this fourteen weeks training.
Letters from those who nave complet-
ed the work are full of such state
ments as the following: "The short
course increased my e6rning capacity
25 per cent" L. E. Risum, Green
County; "My earning capacity has
been increased $40 a month";" O.
Strand, Barron county; 'The short
course increased my wages S25 to $50
month, C. Erickson, Marathon
county; and "My earning capacity
was tripled within two years after
completing the short course. S. M.
Scott.
Considered from the financial side
alone, many graduates believe the
course to be the best investment they
ever made. The toatl expense for the
fourteen weeks need not exceed SS5,
and the interest Of this sum will be
received for years to come. Many
graduates have demonstrated that the
cost of the course can be regained in
increased wages during the first year
after graduation. Of course the in
dividuality of the student plays a
large part, but any bright farm boy
can gain the practical training given.

application to. Prof. D. H. Otis,

Short. Sharp Sayings

All songs are beautiful until some
amateur tries to sing them.
Laziness is the father of prejudice,
and ignorance the wet nurse.
When train of thought tries to
pass through some mems brains it
gets ditched.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you, except when you laugh at your
own jokes.
No wonder old maids look faded
they are always casting whitening
looks at men,
People should always carry out
their plans and it would be a good
idea to bury most of them.
1t is pity that man can't get a
pair of suspenders that will hold up
his reputation as well as his trousers.
There are two classes of people IN
this world that are hard to convince
against their wlll-men and women.

Good for Chief Block

Last Saturday. two young men by
the names of John Grof and James
Coffeen. employees of the Gimbel
Bros, Milwaukee. drove their auto
mobiles through this city at rate not
anticipated by the auto ordinance reg
ulating the speed of autos within the
city limits. That they intended to
have little fun with the rural police
was evidenced by the fact that they
lifted the numbers of their autos when
entering the city. Chief of Police
Block, not approving of their kind of
fun and to show them that Watertown
is no country village, started out and
locating his men in Milwaukee, ar
rested them and Monday, they were
introduced to Justice Henze, who be-
ing tender hearted fined them only Sic
each, which they paid with smile.

The Apollo Concert

On next Tuesday evening, December
| /, at Turner Opera house, the Apollo
club, mixed chorus composed of Wa
tertOwn people will submit and render
its eighth concert. Few cities in Wis
consin can boast of such an organiza-
tion and because of the opportunities
it affords our people along musical ed
ucatiOnal lines every one should lend
his active and material support and
attend the concert. All that is desired
in financial way is that the club be
able to meet its obligations in the fu-
tuTe. Its object is not a pecuniary
one, but solely to spread and perpet-
uate the tender and refining influence
of music and flood all hearts with it's
sunshine.
| Music is born of love. Had there
never been any human affection, there
would never have been uttered a
and thought without language. No
Organization could bring greater bless
| ings and benefits to humanity nor Sc
cure more precious heritage to grow
| ing and future generations. 1t must
not be forgotten that every person is
most cordially invited to become a
member of this club and receive, for
a small pittance, the great, lasting and
| character moulding influences of a mu-
| steal training at the hands of such
great music masters and composers
| like Doctor Daniel Protheroe of Chi
cago, with the regular weekly proficient

WATtk POWER HELPS
BUILD RAILROAD
Electricity Generated from Noun
tain Streams BOrGS Tunnel
Through MOuntdinS-WiIl Also
Drive Trains Through Tunnels

Never before in the history of rail-
roads WAS great building project
carried out so quietly as the Pacific
coast extension Of the ST. Paul road.
In this great undertaking, which
means so much to the Pacific North
west, more than 500, 600. 900 is being
expended with as little fuss as an
ordinary business enterprise would
make in expending a few thousand
dollars. The st. Paul road is not
cunning into country that needs the
aid of the promoter or land agent. In
timber alone there is almost cum
potency for the new line, for the ST.
Paul management has been given
assurance that not fever than SO. 600
carloads will be given it the first year
after the work has been completed.
One of the wonderful facts regard
ing the construction of this new trans
continental line, which will stretch
from Chicago and the Twin Cities by
the way of Butte. Montana. to Seat
tie, and Tacoma, Washington, is the
thoruUghness with which 1t is being
constructed. 1t is not generally
known, for example, that over the
800 miles of mountain stretches. cleo
tricity is to be used as the motive
power, and the engines will be 200
ton electric motors. Down the sides
of the Bitter Root mountains, are
pouring a sufficient number of streams
to furnish abundant power tor all of
the electric motors which the st. Paul
will need to handle it's trains over the
mountain division. The streams are
to be harnessed at the cost of millions.
The boldness of conception and the
unobtrusive way in which the work
is being executed, challenge admira-
tion. Through the Businesses of the
Bitter Root ranges tunnel $3.50 feet
long is being constructed by electrical
power and through it will be operated,
trains hauled by motors. One end of
this tunnel will open in the state of
Montana and the uther will land the
traveller IN Idaho, and it's grade will
not exceed .02 of l per cent.
In general the work on the west end
of the road between Butte and Seat
tie is nearly finished on some Of the
divisions, but the long tunnels and
the heavy fills Will take some time to
poiIc loid N five
different sections, but the track is not
continuous for more than 120 miles.
On the Seattle Tacoma line the track
has been finished from Black River
Junction to Summer, Wash. East of
Seattle, the road is completed for a
distance of seventy five miles. and
work over the Snuqualmie Pass of the
Cacade is being rapidly pushed. On
one division there are at least sixty
fills to be made of an average depth
of seventy feet, and the road between
probably SIS, 900 mile.
Through the st. Paul Pass in the
Bitter Root mountains, work Is furth-
er along; the grading is completed
and the bridges are builr. In Seattle
the terminal work IS scarcely begun.
In view Of the fact, however, that the
greater part Of the extension has been
dune during a time of financial de-
preston, the work in general is a
marvel in the annals of railway con-
struction.
