DANCY DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

Some of tlR readers of the PILOT
may be interested to know how the
work is progressing in the Dancy
Drainage district, and to correctly in
form them-we could not say other
wise than it is getting along finely.
The dredge boat that was injured I'M
the explosion short time ago is
being repaired, and by the last of the
week will be in working order There
are three dredge boats working, the
largest one has dipper that will take
up two square yards of dirt each lift,
and as it runs night and day it will
dig out in "A hours 600 running feet
of ditch, which is 80 feet wide and
about 8 feet deep. This is the main
ditch and when completed will be Ia
miles long. 1t begins at the line, be-
tween ranges 4 and 5, in the town of
Day, Marathon county, and ends i'll
town of Eau Pleine, only a few rods
from the village of Dancy. This
ditch, in the IA miles, leaves the main
channel of the Little Eau Pleine river
many times and is almost straight
and shortens the distance over one
half what it is to now follow the
channel of the river. The dipper on
this boat is so powerful that it will
lift up a large saw log out of the river
or stump and throw it away from the
ditch as if they were pieces of fire
wood. There are two smaller boats
working on the lateral or side
bitches. These are much smaller.
They will dig out also 600 run
ming feet of ditch, 20 foot wide,
in "A hours. There are II lat
teral bitches of 80 total miles. The
engineers on these boats are mostly
Indiana gentlemen. That state in
an early day was mostly low lands and
this class of work has been carried on
very extensively there. This district
comprises about 10000 acres and lies
In the towns of Bergen and Day in
Marathon county, Milladore in Wood
county and Eau Pleine in Portage
county. When the work is completed
it will ultimately put under cultiya-
tion about $4,000 acres of land, as
much first quality high land has been
kept from settlers on account of being
contingent to the large marsh. When
this district was being organized it
was bitterly opposed on the grounds
that the soil was gravel and sand and
when water was taken off would burn
up; Others who went farther into the
matter knew this was not the case
and the work proves the latter theory
to be correct. The soil is turning out
first class, and although it is early yet
to make any predictions, everything
points to the venture being a'succeSs
ultimately. The entire work is car
ried on under the direction of the
commissioners, George III. Reynolds of
Marshfield, George G.. Knoller of
Dancy and j. 2. Malek of Stevens
Point, and the total cost is figured at
SOS, 600, ChaS. ForreStal of Milwau-
kee, having the contract for same.

Bob LaFollette and the other pro-
gressiyes are out after President Taft.
They assert that the president is, so 10
speak, doublefaced; that when in the
race for the president he told the
people that the republican party
wanted the tariff revised downward.
He has profesSed TO work to this end
since he was elected. But from re-
cent events it appears, so the pro-
gressiye republicans say, that the
president is working in the hands of
Aldrich and the stand patters. And
now the progressives are whetting
their knives and are out after large
game.

OF Interest to Farmers and Mechanics.

Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents and in
juries which cause them much annoy
ance and loss of time. A cut or bruise
may be cured in about one-third the
time usually required by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment as soon as
the injury is received. This liniment
is also valuable for spra:ls, soreness
of the muscles and rheumatic pains.
There is no danger of blood poisoning
resulting from an injury when Cham
berlain's Liniment is applied before
the parts become infiamed and swol-
len. For sale by w. W. Albers.

BE CAREFUL.
To THE PUBLIC:

To THE PUBLIC:
We are in some danger of water
famine and unless there is some check
upon the sprinkling it may be
necessary in a few days to turn the
riverwater into the wells. Attention
is called TO the rules of the water
commission which prohibits sprinkl-
ing between the hours of a. m. and
5 p. m. and between the hours of p.
m. a. NJ.
Police and employees of the Water
Department have been instructed to
enforce the penalty in every case
where sprinklers are found running
during prohibited hours. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to stop the waste of
city water otherwise for the protec-
ton of property in the city we will be
obliged to use river Watey.
Respectfully,
JOHN +. LAMONT,
Mayor.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree, It Is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red COL
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described In the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced Is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it, No
Court in the country stands higher.

A woman suffered a long time with

OF the trouble. She writes:
MY heart was so weak IL could not

causing the weakness of my heart. He
