The COUNTY FAIR.

The county fair opened Tuesday which
was busy day on the fair grounds,
making entries and getting things in
shape generally. Wednesday being
children's day was one of the big days.
The attendance was estimated at from
seven to ten thousand. To-day is Mani
towoc day and it is expected that there
will be big attendance.
The display of farm products, agri-
cultural, horticultural, and live stock
eclipses like exhibits in former years.
The exposition building reflects the
prosperity of the merchants of this city,
and still more the loyalty to the county
fair. In point of excellence no exhibit
at former county fairs has outshone the
present one.
The races Wednesday were witnessed
by great throng of people and were
fast, fast enough to please anyone who
likes that kind of sport
With favorable weather today and
tomorrow the Manitowoc county fair of
1909 will pass into history as the most
successful in the history of the associa-
tion.

DIED

In the death of Maurice Murphy at
his home on York street last Saturday
disappeared one of the last of the old
guard of early Irish settlers. Mr.. Muir
ply was born in the town of Mallow,
County Cork, Ireland, in 1921 and came
to America at the age of 1S After
some years residence in Boston and st.
Louis he settled in Manitowoc in 1856
and for many years was trusted EN-
ploye of the Jonah Richards Iron Works.
In his passing the first colony on the
north shore has now left only Mr.. and
Mrs. James Barry. Mr.. Murphy never
moved from the neighborhood. He is
survived by an aged widow, two sons,
and daughter, Mrs. George Seitz.
Mr.. Murphy represented a common type
of the Irish settlers dramatically the
opposite of the caricat ures Of the race
often seen, he being of exemplary hab-
its, industrious and sincere and devout
Christian. He created friendship in all
acquaintances by an unaffected gentle
ness of manners and thoughtful regard
of others. His patience in many years
of af1liction has been the admiration of
his friends. The funeral was held from
the Sacred Heart church on Monday
lnterment was in Calvary cemetery.

The FARMER HAS
MADE PROGRESS.

During the last twelve years, the peri
cd covering the administration of Secre-
tary of Agriculture James Wilson, the
agricultural balance of trade in the
United States increased from yearly
average Of $a34 100000 to si11, 900, coo
or rs per cent, according to the depart
ment's year book just made public
This wonderful development is only
in keeping with the progress that has
been made along all lines of agricultur-
al activity. At the same time, 1t is stat
ed many conditions affecting the lives
of the farmers of the country advanced
in even greater ratio until many of the
undesirable features of farm life have
been eliminated.
During these twelve years there has
been a great diversihcation ana geogra-
phic extention Of products apart from
the cultivation of new land Although
there has been decreasing production
per acre of what was only recently vir-
gin soil, there was an increased produc-
tion per acre of the entire country. The
yield per acre of cotton daring the ten
years ending with 1906 was from mean
of 172 pounds per acre during the pre-,
ceding ten years TO mean of l9l
pounds, or l. per cent increase.
Other crops have kept pace with cot.
ton. Within ten years the production
of corn per acre in Ohio increased II 3
per cent, and in Virginia IS 3 per cent.
Oats increased 179 per cent in Indiana.
Wheat increased 1862 per cent in New
York and As 8 per cent in Nebraska.
Similar advancement was made in the
yield per acle Of other products. In
some degree this upward movement be-
gan twenty years ago, but in all lines it
has been marked during the last decade.
Citing the increase in population
based upon the families of the native
born, Secretary Wilson declares that no
one need have fear that the farmers of
this country will ever be unable to pro-
vide for its population. They are
already demonstrating in the cases of
various crops and of various States, he
says, that they can provide for popu-
lation increasing faster than by increase
due to excess of births over deaths"
From 1895 to 1906, he says, farm
wages increased faster than did prices.
In the matrer of wage increase the farm
laborer has Jared better than the work
ingman employed in manufacturing
and mechanical industries.
THE farmer" says the Secretary, in
results of information, Intelligence and
industry, has thrived nightly. The
progress that has been made is in the
direction leading to popular and nation
al welfare, to the sustenance of any fu.
ture population, as well as to larger
efficiency OF the farmer in matters Of
wealth production and saving and in
more pleasant ways of living

COURT DECIDES NAUS-
G0ETzLER CASE,

The decision in the case of Theodore
Kaus against Rudolph Goetzler for the
foreclosure of mortgage given to Sc.
cure payment of the purchase price Of
patent was filed by Judge kirwan in
circuit court last week. The patent in.
volved in this action was one secured
by Mans in 1906 on malt mixing and
eevating machine which he invented.
About the time the invention was per
fected and before Il patent had been Sc
cured Theodore Loef, who is employed
in the mailing department of VIM. Rahr
Sons Company, purchased part inter
est in the invention and later Rudolph
Goetzler purchased all of the balance of
Naus' interest in it,
Both gave mortgages on their proper
ties to secure the unpaid portions of the
purchase prices agreed upon.
Among other conditions of the sale
was one to the effect that Naus should
construct five of the machines for Goetz-
leF anu lIUel lTOul UldleTIdl 10 De luTu-
ished by them before the purchase mon
sy would become due. They later fail
ed to furnish the material and refused
payment of interest and principal on
their mortgages. The action was then
brought to foIeclose the mortgages and
the defense set up in each case was that
the patent was worthless and impractic-
able and that fraud was used to procure
the giving of the mortgages. As re-
sult of the trial the court found thar
the patent was not worthless but on the
contrary the invention performed the
work it was intended TO perform, and
that no fraud had been practiced in pro.
curing the mortgage,
The court further found however that
Mans would have under his contract TO
construct the five machines mentioned
before he could get Judgment of fore
closure, and because he had not done
this Judgment was denied him at this
time.

peared for Goetzler in the action and

COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE.

Summoned to appear before the
Police ana Fire Commission, Fire
Chief j. II. Kratz must explain his
alleged failure to respond to fire
alarms within the city limits, the
investigation being based on the
complaint charging that the fire de.
partnent refused TO respond to two
alarms at the time fire destroyed the
Pilger property near the cemetery
three or four weeks ago, KraM will
also be asked to explain several other
matters brought to attention OF the
Commission in form of complaints
and it is rumored the Commission will
insist upon thorough inquiry into
affairs of the department.
There is said to be chance that
Chief Kratz may be penalized for his
neglect in the Pilger fire by suspen-
sion without pay though the rumor
is unconfrmed. The Commission S
action to call Kratz to the carpet was
taken at meeting at which the Com
mission declared that there was no
valid excuse to be offered for neglect
to respond to the alarm as, even
though it might have been impossible
to get water for the fire, the depart
ment should have been at hand to
protect life and prevent spread of the
fire. 1t Is upon this theory that the
Commission summons kratz TO
appear and upon which he will be
suspended if this action is decided
upon.
Though the Commission granted
Kratz permission to attend the Grand
Rapids convention, it is said he will
be asked for an explanation as to
why he left the city, when there was
work which demanded his attention
the repair of the police alarm system.
The councils police committee has
employed an electrician to repair the
system and it is said some of the
aldermen believe that Chief kratz
should pay the bill. The Commission
is said to have declared for 8
thorough investigation of complaints
against the fire department because
Of the frequency with which they are
made, and it is possible there will be
something doing" as a result.
The Commission met Monday night
but members OF the Commission de
cline to discuss the matter at this
time, though admitting that Kratz has
been ordered to appear.

SETTLEMENT OF THE COUNTY. -Four
years ago we came through the woods
from Mena sha here, with u delegation
of her citizens who were bent on having
railroad there within twelve months,
connecting the two villages. We had a
hard ride and met with short commons,
but were much pleased with the country
through which we passed, and highly
delighted with the prospect of passing
over the same route in first class pass
enger car, upon the railroad within the
next twelve months.
We didn't do it, and are now here
urging upon the people the great neces,
sity of having this railroad completed.
We know the thing can be done within
the next twelve months, if the people
will only take hold of the thing right
end first, in the true Young America
style. We want none of your old fogies,
or croakers at the cranks. But what we
were going to say when we commenced
this article, was that We had recently
passed over a portion of the same route
lying within this county well improved,
and many splendid farms number of
pleasant little villages, and half dozen
steam saw or grist mills, but every man
we met said, we came here, made our
improvements, etc, expecting the rail
road before this. Give them the road
and their improvements and population
will increase two hundred per cent
within twelve months, and Manitowoc
will derive more than corresponding
