TranscontinentaJ Flyer to
Portland

The Chicago & Northwestern has a
new train to the west known as the
"Oregon-W ashington Limited" 1t

and reaches Portland the third day at
$50 in the morning. The full equip
ment of Pullman cars and free reciin-
ing chair cars are handled between
Chicago andPortland without change.
This is in addition to the present
service via the electric-lightedC Chicago

lie the choice of two through trains to
the North Pacific Coast, each of which
is operated on three day schedule via
the Chicago, Union Pacific q North

Boys And Girls Corn Contest

Six dollars in money, one week s
expenses paid to the College of Agri-
culture next February, and the honor
of being first in contest of 300 Sauk
county boys and girls, seem like prizes
worth working hard to earn. These
are the prizes to be won by some one
in the corn contest at the county fair,
Baraboo, September 21-24. There are
sixty other prizes.
All boys and girls under Is years of
age who have grown Toole's North
Star corn or Wisconsin No. 2, should
exhibit the best ten ears at the fair.
Bring it Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Have your name, age, and address
fastened to the sample of corn.

praises; the one likes the sun full and
bright, the other loves the seabreeze
and the tang of the deep that blows in
the salt air; and whether we own 1t or
not, it is just the impressive contrast
between the merry noisy life on one
side and the solemn peace of the ocean
on the other, that hold the attraction
to most people at the beach. 1t is in
deed very fascinating and were it not
for the ravenous appetite it gives, one
would linger too long, but we tear our
selves away at last and back to fine
supper of anchovies fried to perfection.
These are small fish about the size of
sardines, and are netted in great guam
titles and sold for ten cents per dozen
at the fish docks. We went one morn
| ing to watch them draw in the fish
net, but were rather disappointed as
after all the hard work of six men,
there were but a few fish in the net.
This goes by extremes, as one morning
this week, this same net brought in
over ton of fish.
Sunday afternoon we bade our
friends adieu and started on our way
to Seattle via Medford, Oregon, where
we visited Frank Gattwinkel, formerly
of Sauk Prairie. Between Santa Cruz

TRIED SUICIDE
BY NITRIC ACID
LIES IN SAUK COUNTY JAIL IN A
PRECARiOUS CONDITION
FROM THE EFFECTS
He WANTED A HOUSExEEpER
The Chemical Had Been Purchased
for COrns by Advice of the
Doctor

William Sidney Green is in the
County Jail in precarious condition
from the results of nitric acid taken
Thursday evening, apparently for the
purpose of ending everything.
Green came from Madison and he
has been working at the Wilkinson
livery for a week or so. Last summer
he worked at Luce's livery for awhile.
The acid he had procured by advice
of doctor for his corns. The exact
cause of his wild action is not known
although it is said that years ago he
had fall from a horse which kept
him in the hospital for several weeks.
By that his head was badly jammed
and the marks still remain in the
shape of the Uranium, it is said. 1t is
also said that he desired certain wo-
man who had kept house for him on
previous occasion TO do so again but
she refused, and this had something
to do with the attempt to kill himself.
He was boarding on the South Side.
AS soon as the deed had been COM
mitted it was found out at the house
where he boarded and bus was tele-
phoned for, which transported him to
the County jail.

Santa Cruz, Cal.

[ must give you some description OF
this beautiful seaside resort, where we
are spending a week. 1t is really chilly
here and we are obliged to wear heavy
clothing, but those staying here for
the summer don't seem to mind 1t at
all and you will see big crowds in bath
ing at the beach most any time. We
went bathing in the NaCatorlum
which is an inclosed swimming pond
with shutes, spring boards, etc.
The water is warmed by pipes and it
is great place for amusement, [ never
enjoyed bathing so much in any other
place. There. are always crowds OF
people at the Casino. If l was not
speaking of the beach and Santa Cruz,
should say there was something de-
moralizing in the way this constant
procession moves on. You get so, at
last, that you want to keep on NOV
Ing. You don't want to go home any
more, to humdrum business or home
duties. There is always some thing to
see and hear. You can study style and
fashion, and can hear the comments
the tourists make on Santa Cruz. You
can read their opinions really in the
bithe swing with which they walk on
the promenades, and you can hear it
in the ringing laughter, which is not
against good form at a seaside resort.
The rounding cheek, kissed by the sea-
breezes, speak we'll for Santa Cruz,
while the golden sunbeams effect Won
derous cures on both mind and body.
Thus you hear the comments and

Secretary Pelton Will Have Varieties
Labelled at County
Fair.

Secretary S. A. Pelton of the Sauk
County Fair has arranged TO have
many of the varieties of fruit and
other objects labelled when exhibited
at the county fair. A visitor can then
know what he is looking at and the
exhibiC is therefore of greater value.
In fact all objects of general interest
should be so marked that they may
be known, noS only to the specialists,
but to every one.

At Medford, we drove out in the

government land. This is a very
mountainous country and most people
have only small ranches and raise
about the same products as we do at
home, with the addition of peaches
and pears. Some crops of pears bring
$500 per acre. One ranch of about a

About sixty acres as set out to fruit

The trees here are covered with moss

We arrived in Seattle Saturday NOR

not had berth for two night. There
is so much traffic now that one has to
engage berths about ten days in ad-

cumbrances for many. A mortgage
with an automobile is like mortgage
with diamond, with the exception
that the diamond keeps its value bet

it is almighty cheap and extremely
healthy. A man who cannot afford a
machine, or thinks he can't, will
probably be as happy in the long run,
if he only thinks so, as the man who
has one, The scenery is just as beauti-

What One rIan Thinks.

1t is dispnted whether a horse or
two horses and carriage would be as
expensive in the long run as an auto
mobile The enthusiasts onieach side
have it all figured out in their favor.
A certain business man, who uses a
machine great deal and takes exceed
ing great care of it and who does not
like the W ait and fuss of hitching and
unhitching a horse has figured it this
way: If his machine lasts him for
seven years and he takes care enough
of it SO that he can sell it for something
he will come out about even with W hat
would have been the result if he had
had a horse the same length of time
and disposed of it in the same manner,
provided the horse lived. His machine
is a Ford.
The automobile is really in its pri-
mary department as far as practicable
ity and efficiency is concerned. A
few more years will make much differ
ence in computing cost and expense or
running as we'll as extended durability.
Furthermore owners will then begin
to know that an automobile requires
about as much care as horse and
sometimes more if it lasts and gives
the prompt service so necessary in the
everyday and Sunday rush of the pres
ent age.

Speed Problem,

The problem of speed has been and
is still one that remains to be solved.
Chaffeurs, for reasons of their own, ex-
ceed the limit in the city and many
times outside, although in the country
very often the speed is not as fast as
the anti-automobilists imagine. The
sane automobile owners and drivers
are much opposed to reckless driving
and the percentage of such is remark
ably large, considering the extreme in
toxication which naturally takes
possession of a person driving a good
machine on good roads. Those who
try and do keep with the limits of the
speed law could, by county organ
ization, have a strong in1uencein solv-
ing the fast driving problem.
