From the Pioneer
The case of the town of Iron River
against w. E. Trip, brought for
the purpose Of collecting personal
property tax, came up before JUS
tice Daniels last Monday and result
ed in a judgement being entered f r
the plaintiff. No defence was put in
but an appeal has been taken to the
Circuit Court. Earnest Sauve of
this city, and John Walsh of Wash
burn, are the opposing council in
the case, the former representing
the town of Iron River and the las-
ter the defendant.
Supt. Delwiche, of the North Wis
consin Experimental Stations, was
in the city last Thursday and spent
the day looking after some business
matters in connection with his line
of work.
A petition has been presented to
the legislature for the creation of a
new town out of Township 48 north,
Range 8 West, territory now en-
braced in the town of Iron River
Asse.nblyman Hammill has written
the Pioneer to the effect that the bill
will come up for consideration in the
committee of Town and County
Organization. of which he is a mem
Der, and that he will hold up the bill
temporarily to allow those opposed
to the measure. time to state their
objections.

What He CAUGHT.

"When was a boy" said a rail
road official, ''I was awful fond Of
fishing. My father had a rule of
letting us go fishing Saturday after
noon, provided we split up enough
cord wood to do over Sunday. l

lar Saturday afternoon, when the
sport was the finest / ever had. The
water was blue under the June
skies, and you could look into the
limpid depths and see the big bass

hook to strike them. | never knew
fish to bite better in my life. Why,

a listener impatiently.

Cloud Effects From Above.

1t has been my lot to see in arc
tic regions some hundreds of thou
sands Of icebergs close at hand, and
| have always believed them to be
the most beautiful objects on earth.
But the clouds Of the sky close at
hand are almost as beautiful. If
you mount above one Of these ma
jestic things, swiftly overlapping one
by one its folds and wreaths, and if
remembering how high it is you
look down and see only small green
patches Of earth through holes in
the cloud carpet below, you have a
little thrill of conception of how
lonely a man would feel, falling
away down there and not being able
to see the spot where he must
alight. 1t is a safe little thrill,
however. You know that you are
not going to fall. Such dizziness as
some persons feel in standing near
great heights on the earth is almost
unknown in ballooning. = Success

THE CRACKER PACKERS.
Nimble Fingered Girls That WORK
Like Automatons.

NimbIe Fingered Girls That Work
Like Authorizations.
l found girls in numbers on the
packing floor, a large, low ceilinged
loft three stories up in the air. In
front of a girl packing 'Slady fin
gers" stood large truck piled high
with frames bristling like SO many
porcupines with long steel spikes or
points. On each point was suspend
ed lady finger, chocolate iced. The
girls hands fairly flew between the
frames and the box she was pack
ing. Back and forth as tirelessly
and as automatically as a machine
her fingers travelled, plucking the
cakes, half a dozen at time, and
packing them precisely in the box.
Working steadily at this rate she
could pack six fve-pound boxes in
IN hour. If she kept up her speed,
never stopping a single second, she
earned Is cents an hour. If her
speed decreased she soon ceased to
earn anything, because she lost her
job.
Fifteen cents an hour would
mean SLAP in the nine and half
hour day. But no girl in the fac
tory earned that much, because
time had to be sacrificed going after
the cake laden trucks and hustling
the frames off and on the trucks.
Work of this kind was not paid for.
The cracker packers were not
losing any time. The endless chain
Of fiat pans loaded with hot crack
ers descending from above moved
at smart pace, and the line of
girls standing on either side had to
work at top speed to keep the trays
clear. They grabbed both hands
full of crackers and flashed them
into the big wooden boxes beside
them. They seldom broke a crack
er or made mistake in their me-
thodical progress. The packers
moved their arms, shoulders and
spines continually. 1t must be splen-
did exercise, reflected, only they
get good deal of it between Z in
the morning and at night.
The cracker packing girl attains
q higher Speed than the cake pack
ing girl, because she has pace
aaker-the machine. AS fast as
the machine moves she must move.
She earns cent a dozen, and she
can pack hundred dozen in day.
Here is another significant fact.
The cracker packing girl is younger
than the cake packing girl, because
no girl can keep up with a machine
indefinitely. At the end of a GER
tain period she loses speed and goes
stale. Then she drifts out Of crack
q packing into some other unskill-
ed trade. Usually she has to ac-
cept lower wage, since her eff
cheney has declined. By efficiency
one always means speed. = Rheta

ANCIENT SURVEYORS.
Their Methods Depicted on the Old

Their Methods Depicted on the Old
Tombs of Egypt.
In an address delivered before the
Royal Geographical society Captain
III. G.. Lyons, director general Of the
survey department of Egypt, told Of
the work of ancient Egyptian survey
ors. "At every period of ancient
Egyptian history he said, 'the land
was measured and recorded with con-
siderable accuracy. Property was
dealt in regularly, and a. elaborate
system of registration was maintain
ed. No map of landed property in
ancient Egypt has come down to us,
but on the tomb walls we meet with
representations Of land measurers at
work. Their methods OF land meas
urement are represented on the walls
Of the tomb of one Menna at Sheik
Add ell Qurna, in Thebes, land over
seer and inspector of the boundary
stones Of Anon
"In the scene depicted are shown
two chainmen measuring a field of
corn with long cord, on which are
knots or marks at intervals which
seem to be about four or five cubits
in length. Each also carries a spare
cord coiled upon his arm. Beside them
walk three officials, who carry writ
ing materials and who are accompa-
MED by small boy carrying writing
materials and a bag in which are
probably documents and plans refer
ring to the property. An old man and
two boys also accompany the survey
ors, and peasant brings a loaf Of
bread and bunch of green corn.
"a similar scene is pictured on the
walls of tomb belonging to GER
tain Amenhotep, also at Sheik Add ell
Qurna. Here only one man accom-
panies the chainmen, each of whom,
as usual. carries a spare cord. The
figures are larger than in the tomb Of
Menna, and, though they are now
much damaged, it is possible to see
clearly that the cord terminated in a
rams head"
