THE CITY OF CRANE
Our Thriving New Neighbor on the
North

Crane is the name of one of the bus
lest places for it's size OF any town in
Rusk county. You will not find it on
the map for the reason that it has not
been in existence for many moons.
Only last week trains began to stop
there on flag. But since the w. w.
Crane & Sons Co. from Stanley got busy
there it is making quite showing. 1t
is located on the site of Manning, Clark
& Haviland's "Camp ~ on the Wiscon-
sin Central eight miles north of Lady
smith. Already nine frame buildings
are in course of construction.
Three miles of the grade is compile
ted for spur to be built eight miles
to the northeast this fall into tract of
timber owned by the Crane people and
the Puffer- Hubbard Co. of Minneapolis,
each of whom have over 4, 900 acres of
hardwood. Although there is no water
power available at Crane, the Puffer-
Hubbard Co. have some of the material
on the ground for a veneering mill.
John Wallace from Stevens Point, who
made large cut of timber last winter
on the timber ridge where Crane is 10
Gated, may put up mill there. The
spur being built is to be known as the
FIambeau Valley Railroad and it is the
intention to extend it eventually up the
west side of the Flambeau river. The
steel for the new road is expected to
arrive this month.
At present there is no wagon road in
to Crane, but one will be built yet this
season, besides a telephone line. l..
D. Crane will erect large store build
ing, the second floor of which will be
school room for the next school year.
A hotel is also one of the advantages
Crane soon expects to be able to boast.
One of the unique features of this
new town in North Wisconsin is that a
saloon is not to be among it's first busi-
ness ventures, and, if it's promoters
wishes wishes are considered, such an
institution will be forever barred. w. F.
Crane, who is now pushing the railroad
project, was for four years mayor of
Stanley and his administration was in
the nature of a reform. L. D. Crane
has opened a stock of general merchan-
disc already. The families of these
two brothers are keeping house in tenn
porary quarters while their commodious
residences are being completed in the
park-like townsite among the trees.
E. J. Crane will also move his family
from Stanley to the new town this fall.

DOESN'T LIKE NEW TARIFF
Congress ssman Lenroot Says Revision
was Not Downward

1.-THE best feature of the new tariff
law is that it has passed.
These were the words used by Con-
gressman |. L. Lenroot today in telling
what his opinion of the new law was.
'"The new law" says Congressman
Lenroot, "does not comply with the
pledges made by the republican party
before the last election. There have
been but few changes made in down
ward direction and such downward re-
duction as has been made was for the
benefit of few New England manu-
facturers and not for the ultimate con-
sumer.
'|The people will find when they go
to the stores to buy the necessities of
life that there has been an increase in
prices. Lumber has been placed on the
free list and that will help somewhat.
Oil is also on the free list but the pro-
ducts of oil are not. Hides are on the
free list but the only one to benefit will
be the leather trust. The rates on
gloves are the same as in the old "Ding-
ley bill.
1.-The greatest increases come in the
cotton and wooden schedules. These
schedules are simply outrageous and
cannot be justified in any way. The
cost of cotton goods will be at least 25
per cent higher under the new law
than they were under the Dingley rates.
Woolen goods will also cost much more.
This increased cost will not be due so
much to an increase if the tariff rates
as to the fact that the woolen trust will
increase the prices now that it knows
the tariff will not be reduced.
"The high tariff democrats must
share the responsibility for the new
law with the high tariff republicans.
If the democrats had stood by their
party pledges the tariff would have
been better than it is.
I'm spite of the unsatisfactory tariff
| expect to see the country experience
another wave of prosperity. The great
crop which is about to be harvested and
the fact that the tariff has been settled
will be enough to insure this. However,
do not expect to see the increase in
wages which will come with the return
of prosperity keep pace with the in
crease in tha cost of liUinr -
Mr.. Lenroot leaves next week for
California where he will visit for three
weeks. At the end of that time he
will return to Superior. During the
fall and winter Mr. Lenroct expects to
do some lecturing throughout the north
western states. He already has some
engagements booked for the month of
September. The lectures he had book
ed for this month he will cancel because
of his California trip. Superior Tele-

The unusually large crowd which at
tended was more than pleased with the
entertainment. The play, A Quaker
Tragedy, is strong emotional drama
with an abundance of good comedy.
1t was we'll staged and played by a
competent company. The specialties

much applause. Indications are that
the company will draw good houses all
the week. Prices 10, 20, 30 cents.

having concrete floor, built much
heavier and costing fourth more than
usual construction. 1t is the sixth
bridge to be built upon this site.

MUSIC COURSE AT
TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Director Harney OF the Wisconsin
College OF Music, Milwaukee,
COMING Next Week

All lovers of music will be glad to
hear that an effort is being made to
encourage the teaching of music in the
schools of the county. Supt. Mackin
has secured an experienced musical
conductor to instruct the teachers at
the institute. Miss Edith /. Harvey,
director of the Public School Music De-
partment in the Wisconsin College of
Music, Milwaukee, will give the in true
tion in singing at the High School
building next week. Miss Harney is a
graduate of we'll known schools at De-
troit and Chicago, and has had valuable
experience in the schools of North and
South Milwaukee.
In an interview for the Waukesha
Freeman regarding her work Miss Har-
ney said: ''The aim of my work here
is to get them interested, to teach them
little of the rudiments of reading and
writing music, to give them an under
standing of having songs pitched cor
rectly, and then to teach them suitable
songs for the schOol-rOOm. | taught
more than forty songs during the two
weeks last summer. We have all sorts
of pretty songs for all the seasons; in
the fall songs of harvests, of the leaves
and the winds, of Jack Frost and the
snow, of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Spring songs are largely about birds
and flowers. We are very careful to
guard the quality of the child's voice, 3"
continued Miss Harvey. eve teach
the teachers to sing in soft, light
voice so that the children will sing in
the same way, using head tones ex"lu-
sively. We always begin with teach
ing high do. If we should begin on
the low do the children would develop
a hoarse throaty tone and continue the
same tone on the higher notes. Chill
dren who are taught correctly in the
first grades develop beautiful quality
of voice in the upper grades.
Miss Harvey has four periods day,
at and II: 40 in the morning and at
1 80 and 3:20 in the afternoon. At the
last period the young teachers are ask
ed to bring in any difficulties they may
have encountered in the teaching of
music or any musical problems they
wish solved.
The other conductors of institute will
be here as announced in a former issue
of the ws-Budget except Prof. Burns,

INDUSTRIALISM KILLING
AMERICA OF WASHINGTON,
DECLARES ITALIAN SEER

PARIS, Aug. 1O.-COncIuding series
of impressions of America which he
gained during a recent visit to that
country, JuglielmO Ferrero, the Italian
historian, finds that the anti-plutOcratlc
movement is essentially a struggle be-
tween the old traditions of the Puritan
democracy and civilization, gold, luxury
and pleasure-a repetition under mod
ern and more complicated form of the
struggle which rent Rome for three
centuries.
The rapidity Of development, light
ming changes in customs and the crea-
tion of a multiplicity of new needs, he
says. eat up the large earnings of the
people, who, though they are living bet
ter and larger than the Europeans, un-
fortunately have not acquired the habit
of saving.
"Industrialism," said Senior Ferrero,
"seems to be destroying a part of the
OId-time America of Franklin and
Washington and creating an America
less American than that Of the past"

FATHER OF BICYCLE is
CALLED AWAY BY DEATH
Col. Albert Pope, Well Known Manu-
facturer, Expires at His Summer
Home at cohasset, Mass.

BOSTON, Ape. 1o-Col. Albert Pope,
we'll known in automobile circles
throughout the United States and
Canada, died at his summer home in
Cohasset late today.
Col. Pope had been in i'll health for
months, due to the breakdown OF his
nervous system which followed the
financial embarrassment of his bicycle
company, the largest concern of the
kind in the country, which had Its
headquarters in Hartford, Conn.
Mr.. Pope started his business career
as a clerk in a local shoe store at 81
a week. In 1876 the first imported
bicycles began to appear in this coun-
try and Col. Pope, seeing an oppor-
tunity, decided to start manufacturing
them in America.
The venture proved a success from
the start. A craze for bicycles that
even the high prices of the early ma
chimes could not stem, swept over the
country, and in the very first few years
of his business Col. Pope amassed a
fortune. The sudden drop in the bicycle
boom a few years ago, however, caused
him financial embarrassment.

CONDITION PHENOMENAL
IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

The quarterly report of the Associa-
tion OF Licensed Automobile Manufac-
turers for the quarter ending June sc
reflects a condition in the industry thai
borders on the phenomenal and without
precedent in the history of the horse
less machine. For instance, one con-
cern--the Cadillac Motor Car company
lis credited with a larger volume OF
business in the last quarter than any
quarters business ever done by any
member of the association.
The basis of the report is the money
value of the cars manufactured and
sold during the period for which the
report is issued; and in this the Cadillac
exceeds every previous high water mark
by a comfortable margin; and the ag-
gregate value of all the cars manufac-
tured in the entire industry far ex-
ceeds that Of any previous quarter.
Every indication points to the year
1909 being the most prosperous in the
history of the industry at large, regard
