The grubstake was kept secret be-
tween the three partners of Old Joe,
who amused themselves by mysterious
illusions to wonderfully rich new
syndicate, but no amount of argument
could persuade them to reveal more
than this. The rumor grew that the
mill owner, the storekeeper and the
hotel man had had quiet tip on a
big thing and the town was prepared
for the announcement that the syndi-
cate had bought out the place, or that
monster improvements were to be in
trOduced at Sauger's. But they were
totally unprepared for the announce
ment which burst upon the little town
toward the last of October.
The postmaster received word from
his brotherin-law, Charley Mason,
who farined between Shasta and Red
ding, that old Joe Cunnill had struck
'.pay dirt" The portion of the let
ter concerning Joe's fortunes ran as
follows:

PANIc-PRooF FINANCE

The desideratum which stands as the
heading of this paragraph now receives
much and studious attention. 1t is held,
very wisely, that we ought to profit by
our misfortunes; that their causes should
be studiously searched out, justly ap-
prised and clearly stated, in order that
we may avoid them in the future.
With this praiseworthy object, four
preceding reverses, classed as panics
have been analysed and docketed so
that, from any good reference book,
you can find out what caused each panic
although the reference books do not
always agree Analysis Of the latest re-
verse is not complete; but it may as
well stop where it stands, fol- the cause,
really, lies upon the surface. 1t is just
stupidity. We have prosperity; then
the machinery breaks down; thousands
of men are idle; there is hunger and suf-
fering.
The reason of these repeated pheno-
mena is that nobody knows much about
how to run country. The task is be
You'd human wisdom in it's present state
Of development. The lesson of the
panic is humility. In few months the
land will resound with voices of those
who assert, as though they really knew
something about it, that the country
must be managed in this way or that.
And the audiences, with characteristic
modesty and good nature, will keep
their faces straight-instead Of Bursting
into huge outlaws, as they would do if
an aeronaut, crawling from the wreck
Of his machine with both legs broken,
proceeded to tell them how to fy.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

BIC BOATS GETTING READY

The second ice report sent out by
the weather bureau shows generally i'm
proved ice conditions on the great lakes
with the exception of the st. Mary S
river and the straits, where no signs
of breaking up have appeared
At Duluth the ice is reported as beng
about twenty inches thick and extend
ing out in the lake about fifteen miles.
At Ashland it is about two feet thick
and covered with from four to SIX
inches Of snow. At Marquette the har-
Dor ice is five inches thick, while in

quette. Whitefsh bay is still solid
with ice although the fields are not as
extensive as was the case last year at
this time. The ice in the harbor at
Saulte Ste Marie is about seventeen
inches thick.
The northern portion of Lake Huron
has more ice than was the case when
the last report was issued. At Port
Huron it extends out in the lake beyond
vision, but there is none in the st.
Clair river. The ice has been running
in the Detroit river for the past week.
In Lake St. Clair the ice is twelve
inches thick and practically covers the
lake.
In Lake Erie at Toledo the ice broke
up and moved out of the Maumee river
u week ago. At Putin Bay it is still
twelve inches thick, but is rapidly soft

Lorain AMI Cleveland it has moved out
Of the harbors, but at Buffalo it is still
eight inches thick and solid.
Conditions on Lake Michigan are as

Green Bay-The ice in the river
averages s to II inches and is very

The high westerly winds have moved
the ice fields out into the lake and no
ice fields are reported along the western
and southern portions.
Glen Haven-There is nc ice in the

There is not shadow of doubt but
that straight party tickets will be voted
in Kenosha at the next city election
if the politicians have their way about
1T. There is any number of voters al
ready lined up who can be depended
upon to vote the straight party tickets
that could never be taught to find more
than the first name on the machine and
the men who ill the minor places on the
tickets will never let all those votes
get away from them if they can find
any way to prevent it. It is pretty
clear that the intent OF the trainers of
the law was to make the voter pick out
each individual he wished to vote for
by name but there may be some legal
quill BILE BIZ which the law can be made
dead letter until the legislature
meets again. The city clerk is wise to
get competent legal advice upon this
point for should a mistake be made it
might invalidate the whole election.

THE PUREsT ATMOSPHERE

It is the opinion of physicians that
the climate of northern Wisconsin is
the most bracing and healthful to be
found in any of the middle western
states. It is not too much to predict
that the pine regions Of the north where
alsam trees Of dozen varieties abound
though the larger pine are all gone, of
fer as wholesome surroundings for peo-
pie having throat trouble or lung trou-
bles as can be found anywhere. When
the state secures for public park pur-
poses the several large tracts which
the State Park Board will recommend
and it becomes known that they can be
used free for camping purposes, the
parks will become the Mecca for health
fitness.

The Rowland avenue property owners
threaten to oppose the issue of bonds
against them to pay for the paving on
their streets until the paving is put down
in accordance with the contract made by
the city and no one can blame them very
much for the stand they have taken in
this matter. If the paving proper or
the curbing is not put down in just the
way called for by the contract it should
not be paid for until it is. If con-
tractor can fulfill a contract or not just
as it happens to suit his convenience
what is the use of making one? It is
true that the city reserves a percentage
of the contract price to insure the COM
pletion of the work in accordance with
the contract but our complaisant city
council has handed over money to con
tractors before this against the vigorous
protests Of those most interested
the property owners who had to put up
the cash--and in the light of past ex-
periences the Rowland avenue property
owners think they will be in better posi-
ton to demand what changes they want
made before the bonds have been is
sued than afterWard. Every one re
members that the council "settled in
full with contractor not so long ago
in spite of the protests Of interested
citizens and later had to put up large
amount of the taxpayers money for
"extras' on that same contract. AS
a matter of fact if the Rowland avenue
property owners are right in their con
tention and the work on their street
has not been done in accordance with
the contract it is partly the fault Of
the city, for the paving inspectors or
whoever it is who is supposed to look
after these jobs for the city should have
stopped the work the minute it was
discovered that it was not being done
in accordance with the contract and
that discovery should have been made
before very much of the work had been
done not after the job had been com
pleted. These contracts are supposed
to be carried out to the letter and if it
is necessary for the property owners to-
start a fight in the courts to teach the
contractors this fact the sooner one is
made the better.

The state labor bureaus are making
every effort to get the farmers and the
unemployed graduates of the farm in
the large cities together for their
mutual benefit but the demand for
farm labor still exceeds the supply. A
fair percentage of the unemployed Of
the cities must be from the farms and
it is strange that SO many Of these men
would rather half starve in the city
than live we'll as farm laborers.

The recent decision of the school
board not to build new school build
| ing this summer was generally we'll re-
ceived by the taxpayers of the city
and there is now no reason to believe
that they have changed their opinion
that it would be good business policy
to defer the erection of building for
a year or two. There is every reason
however, to believe that the city will
save lot of money by waiting. In
spite of all this, certain members of
the Board are not sat isfed with this
common sense decision and in defiance
Of public opinion they are making an
effort to revive the plan to build i'm
mediately and to force favorable vote
on the matter through the old board
They are apparently unwilling to leave
the matter to the incoming board. It
has even been limited that the motives
which influence certain members of the
board to favor the immediate erection Of
the building are not entirely disinterest-
ed and for that reason alone if for no
other if the question is to come up again
the decision should be. left to the new
board Certainly the most ardent. ad-
vocates of the plan to build will not
contend that the need of new build
ing is so great that the matter cannot
just as well wait until the new board
qualities. Leaving the decision to the
new board would be fairer all around.
The men who favor the plan would have
every opportunity to present their argu-
ments to the new board and the tax
payers who are interested to the ex-
tet of paying for the. whole thing and
therefore have some rights to be con
sidered would then have chance to
find out where their representatives
stand before electing them to the board.
We refuse to believe that any member
of the board is actuated by anything
but the highest regard for the best
interests of the schools in this matter
but we must admit that there will be
some grounds for the yelled insinua-
tions now being made against the purity
OF the motives of some of the members
if the old board after once deciding
Co wait switches around and decides to
build at once There is not the slight
est excuse for hasty action. Let the
incoming board decide.
