G. Seaans Editor of the Reedsburg
Herman Grotophorst's Letter.

In letter which was quite general
ly published during the past two
weeks, Mr.. Grotophorst of Baraboo, a
member of the state board of control,
strongly advocates the moving or relo-
eating of the Sauk county poor farm
and asylum. TIE letter contains sew
eral statements which deserve the at
tention of the people of Sauk county,
to whom he addresses his appeal.
First it is not generally conceded
that mistake was ever made in plac-
ing the county farm and asylum where
it now is but on the contrary it is often
spoken of as an ideal place for an insti-
tuition of this kind. On account of the
direction of the hills and valleys and
the consequent location of the roads no
other place in the county could be
more easily reached. Besides the farm

ing for the eating, clothing or sleep
ing of the individuals who are charge
to the benevolenee of the county and
nothing for the heating of the build
lngs. The income from the manage
ment of the farm and the support of
outside patients pays all the expenses
in the land and buildings. Is that not
good enough? During the past ten
years the fuel supply, for the greater
part of the time at least, has come
from the timber lot owned by the
county some five miles away or else
from timber purchased from the own
ers of land at distances varying from
three to five miles. The same help and
the same teams can haul the coal from
Reedsburg at no more expense than

THEY MAY BUILD
AROUND TUNNELS
CHICAGO s NORTHWESTERN SUR
VEYORS ARE BUSY BETWEEN
HUSTLER AND SPARTA.

A party of Chicago & Northwestern
surveyors are at work near Hustler
and there is much speculation as to
their purpose. Some say that a shorter
line is to be built from Sparta to Mil
waukee parallel with the Milwaukee
road, but this is hardly possible, The
most feasible theory is that there will
be a new read built from Sparta to
Hustler in order to cut out three large
tunnels between Sparta and Elroy
The officials of the Northwestern have
long considered this idea in order to
get around the tunnels instead of
through them. Some heavy grades
would also be eliminated. The train
men seriously object to double headers
in the tunnel territory and this would
be to their benefit.
In case the new line is built Kendall,
Norwalk, Wilton and Summit would
receive death blow. In the course of
a few years they would no doubt look
like deserted villages.
It is reported that the Northwestern
will lay heavier rails on the main line
Of the Madison division this summer.

Expense for Coal Haul.

There is a "big hill" between the
farm and Reedsburg and this hill is
beauty or an eye sore accordingly
which way one chooses to look at IL.
It is to the hauling of fuel and other
articles over this hill that Mr.. Gro
tophorst objects. He estimates that
it will take thousand tons of coal a
year and that it will cost the county a
dollar ton or a thousand dollars
year to transport the coal. Now let
us see what his ideas of economy
amount to. The annual reports when
show the actual figures for the past
eleven years, the period of time when
the accounts have been kept separate
from the other county funds, reveal
the fact that the institution is self SUP
porting, that it has cost the county
nothing for any part of the items

it would be matter of economy to
erect coal shed by the track SO that
the coal could be purchased at ad-
vantage and the hauling done in the

graphical center of the county. The
distance between the city limits of
Reedsburg and the farm is exactly
three miles by the section lines and by
the road from the Reedsburg railway
station is possibly four miles. Note
what Mr.. Grotophorst says about its
being "Long Distance" The farm
lies on the main highway across the
county from north to south and it is
not unusual to count from fifty to a
hundred teams passing the farm on
any pleasant day. 1t is an undisput-
ed fact that no road in the county is
travelled so much as the highway past
the county farm.

A COPY OF
THE COMPLAINT
CHARGES MADE IN CONNECTION
WITH A GAINESVILLE r1INOR
GETTING LIQUOR

Many desire to see copy of the
complaint as presented to the BaraboC
city council last night and for that
reason the same is presented here. The
complaint is modelled after the com.
plant made before the city council OF
| Wausau for the revocation of a saloon
license for selling to minors. The
| Wausau council refused to revoke and
the case was appealed to the circuit
court, asking that the council be com.
PEELED to revoke. The couit refused to
grant the writ and the case was taken
! 10 the supreme court. Judge Siebeck-
er wrote the decision in which the
judgment of the lower court was re-
versed and the costs beforei the lower
court and the higher court were taxed
to the city council.
The BarabOo CO mpIaint
To the Mayor and Common Council of
the City of Baraboo, Sauk County,
Wis:
The undersigned, Louis A. Goddard,
of the city of Baraboo, complaining,
states on oath that he is a resident of
the city of Baraboo, and has been
for period of time antedating the
time when the deed complained of was
committed, hereby makes complaint
against Herman Welk, licensed sa-
loon keeper of said city of Baraboo,
and alleges:
That license was heretofore Iduly
granted by the Common Council of
the city of Baraboo, Sauk county,
State of Wisconsin, to one Herman
Welk of said city of Baraboo to sell in
toxicating liquors in said city at his
place of business, 1873 ThirdAve in said

mission of the same said license at said
place of business on Third Ave-, said
Herman Welk did suffer and permit
intoxicating liquors to be sold by HIM
self or by his agent or agents contrary
to the Statutes of the State of Wiscon-
sin in a manner hereinafter described.
Your complainant further alleges
upon information and belief and 50
charges the fact to be, that on the 22nd
day of Feb. 1909, in said city, in said
place of business wherein he was Ii
censed to sell intoxicating liquors,
said Herman Welk did sell or permit
to be sold by his agent or agents, with
out the written order of the parents or
guardians, or any one of them, con-
trary to the Statutes of the State of
Wisconsin, Intoxicating liquors to the
following minors, to wit, Charles
Blow, George Brunk and Wallace
Spring.
Your complainant therefore prays

mon Conncil of said city of Baraboo,
signed by the city clerk and directed

COMPLAINT BY REV. L. A. GOD
DARD AGAINST HERrIAN WELK.
HIS AGENT OR AGENTS.
REFERRED TO THE CITY ATTORNEY
Ordinance introduced Specifying In
Detail Manner Of Handling Milk
And Cream.

A petition asking for the revocation
of the saloon license Of Herman Welk,
charged with selling liquor to minors,
Feb. %, 1909, and signed by Rev. l..
A. Goddard, was read at the meeting
of the city council Thursday evening
The complaint is found in another
column of this paper.
There was some discussion as to
whether action should be taken at
once. Alderman Risley held very
strongly that it did not seem to him
that anything could be gained by any
delay. Aldermen Thuerer, Hofstater
and Jacobs did not see what difference
it would make, inasmuch as, in view
of the past experience, the council
would have to take some action any
way. On motion by Alderman Power
and seconded by Alderman Altpeter
the petition was referred by unanimous
vote to City Attorney John M. Kelley
to report at the next regular meeting
of the council.
Aldermen w. H. McFetridge in
troduced a resolution which was Sc
conded by Alderman Risley, that the
Mayor appoint committee to investi-
gate concerning the cost of municipal
lighting, the cost of maintaining mu-
nicipal lighting plant and the cost of
all particulars relating to municipal
lighting plant. This was passed. The
resolution provided that City Engin-
eer II. E. French and City Attorney
John M. Kelley act with three alder
men appointed by the mayor. The
aldermen appointed were w. II. Nc
Fetridge, l.. M. Jacobs and E. Effinger.
Aldermen l.. M. Jacobs introduced
an ordinance regarding the sale of
milk and cream. The law is long
one and prescribes in detail everything
that must be done relating to the sale
of milk, from the examination of the
COWS for tuberculosis by veterinarian
to the size of the letters which must be
printed on the red cans which are to
contain skim milk, in case milk man
desires to dispose of that article. The
milk dealer must pay for a license ST.
for each wagon. This was laid over
according to the rules.
Alderman Jacobs introduced reso-
lution providing for report of the
street committee and officers to make
a report of the tools and equipment on
hand. This report is filed regularly ac-
cording to resolution each year.
Mayor Hull recommended that the
council provide for monthly report of
the treasury in order that the alder
men might not run the risk of making
plans that would call for more money
than the city had to spend.

Another statement is that the build

There is the poor house, built for the
paupers of the county, under the ad-
vice, and frcm plans approved by the
same board of control of which Mr..
Grotophorst was and is a member and
with his consent. This cost the county
around $4,000 besides much material
and labor $4,000 building in any

In another, called the Brewery act,
four horses come out abreast hauling a

Says He Accepted Position at Earnest
Solicitation of officiaIs-WiII
Discuss Withdrawal
Wednesday

c. B. Raitt, president of the
Southern California branch of the A A
o., made the announcement last night
that owing to dissatisfaction which
prevails among the various amateur
organizations in Southern California he
would call a meeting of his organiza-
ton to be held next Wednesday at the
Los Angeles Y. NJ. c. A. to settle the
question of his continuing as president
Of that organization for the remainder
of 1909.
On the first place, 1 never wanted to
take the chair of president of this or
ganization," said Raitt, ''fOr playground
duties take up all my time. 1 cannot
understand how stories Of friction
among the directors of this organiza-
tion gained ground. George w. Bra
den in the first place nominated me
for the presidency of the Los Angeles
branch and if he had wanted to con-
t1nue as president himself it seems to
me he would be the last to place my
name before the nominating committee.
When Sidney PeiXotto, president of
the coast branch of the A. A. u, came
to me and asked me to run for presi-
dent of the Los Angeles branch | de-
clined, but the worthy man from the
north persuaded me to accept as I was
more closely connected with junior ath-
letes of Los Angeles than any other
man that he could think of at that
time. For that reason l accepted the
position rendered me.
IF other men in the organization see
fit to place another member in nomina-
ton l will withdraw in his favor
