made possible to start a vigorous, en-
ergetic fight on the white plague
which has been needed for years, but
which has been impossible because of

need be no fear that any stamps re

Welcome Interurbdn

The rumors that surveyors in the
employ of the Wisconsin Central rail
way have been at work in Dodge coun-
ty surveying for a short line to Wau-
kesha from Stevens Point, seem to be
well founded. 1t is known that a
surveying crew run lines recently in
the silver creek district of this city,
but whether they were Central men
or not, is not known. The following
interview printed in the Milwaukee
Sentinel this morning discusses the
matter:
Out in Watertown it is reported
that surveyors, working in the inter
est of the Wisconsin Central road, are
making surveys through Green Lake
and Dodge counties for the purpose of
building a cutoff which will shorten
the line from st. Paul to Chicago
quite a little The surveyors have
been working in Green Lake county,
running the line between Randolph
and Fox Lake" said w. G. Stone, Wa
tertown, in the Hotel Pfister.
From the reports received it would
look as though the new line if built
would start from somewhere about
Stevens Point and come down across
country striking the Wisconsin Cen
trail again in Waukesha. If this
should be the case, the most of the
way would be in good territory 1t
would run through a country which
has now little railroad facilities, until
it reached Green Lake county. There
it would pass through some fine farm
ing regions, striking number of
good cities for business.
We hope if such a line is built it
will come by way of WATERFOWL. This
is the largest city along the proposed
line worth more in a business way
than all Of the others put together.
With the factories and other enter
prises we have it would be well worth
the while of the road to see that the
line hit Watertown. This could east
ly be done, as the city is almost on a
direct line between Stevens Point and
Waukesha.
All we know now is that surveying
parties are out If it is found to be
true that the Central is thinking of
building this cutoff we will certainly
try our best to have it pass through
Watertown and think we can show
the company that it will be greatly
to their interest to do So"

Drdymdn is Fined

Charles Ziebell, who conducts a
dray line, was fined S. and costs in
Justice Henze's court this morning
for obstructng a sidewalk. He plead
guilty to the charge. The complaint
was made by Frank B. Weber and
was prosecuted by City Attorney G. A.
Kading. The fine was imposed under
an ordinance which prohibits the OBJ
|structing of sidewalks, alleys, etc., and
the fine is from 81 to $50.
Ziebell claims that he was not any
more guilty than other draymen or
business men in the city, or city of
ficiaIs themselves. He says it is an
every day occurrence to partially OBJ
struct sidewalks with goods and mer-
chandise and with fire apparatus,
farm implements and the like. He
says that he was only occupying
portion of the sidewalk and that there
was room for pedestrians.

WISCONSIN
IS LEADING
UNIVERSITY
University Extension Division Carries
Heipfulness of the State Uni
yersity to the People,

Why did President Eliot, the fore
most educator in the United States,
refer to the University of Wisconsin,
at the Harvard Commencement in
1908, as the leading state university =?
Because it uses all its resources
In men, knowledge and books for the
education and Improvement of all citi-
zens of the commonwealth.
Because it regards the welfare of
the men and women, young or old,
who cannot study in the University
halls, as of vital Importance, and it
shapes its work to use the most direct
and simple means to instruct the ar
tisan, farmer, hOme-maker, the clerk.
the public official in all branches of
knowledge which will make him of
the greatest service to his family and
the state.
Because the University of Wiscon-
sin deals directly with all of the COM
munities in the commonwealth in in
forming the citizens and public bodies
as to the best methods of promoting
public welfare and inspiring them to
surround all citizens with the best pos
sible physical and moral and educa-
tional environments.
Non Resident Students Aided.
In doing this splendid work the Uni
versity reaches the people through the
University Extension Division This
kind of work was begun by the Uni
versity in 1885 when the Farmers In.
stitutes Were established in connection
with the College of Agriculture. Step
by step this work has developed, the
University of Wisconsin always in the
lead, until to-day when every college
department of the University is striv
ing to aid nonresident students as
earnestly az it strives to help the young
man or woman who has the means and
time to reside in Madison.
1t is this missionary spirit. and the
methods employed that inspired PreSi-
dent Eliot to refer to the University
of Wisconsin as the greatest of the
state universities.

DOINGS MONDAY
Praise for WdtertuWn

The Milwaukee Sentinel hotel man
interviewed Frank E. Woodland, cash
Ter of the Bank Of WATERFOWL, Sat
urday:
WATERFOWL is growing slowly but
steadily" said F. E. Woodland at the
PIankinton. There is no city in the
state better situated for manufacture
ing than WATERFOWL, and this fact has
been recognized by the manufacturing
interests. Labor is plentiful and
steady employment appreciated.
There are more people owning their
own homes in WATERFOWL than any
other city in the state, or northwest,
for that matter The last census put
Watertown third in the list of cities
of the country in that respect. Bal
timore ranks first, the second city |
do not remember, but we are the
third. More houses were built there
last year than in any year before,
which shows that the home spirit is
not decreasing. The time is not far
distant when Watertown will become
a great center for interurban traffic.
With the extension of the interurban
lines north and south, as planned by
| the Beggs interests, our city will be-
come the junction point. Eventually
line will be built west to Madison,
which will add to the Importance of
the city as a railroad center. That
| this will be of material benefit to the
| business interests has already been
shown through the line which was
built through from Milwaukee to Wa
! tertown. 1t brings business to the
city, and when the other lines are
| built these benefits will be increased.
Preparations are being made for the
| extension north, which will be built,
II understand, as soon as franchises
| are secured. There is an opposition
company in the field, but we favor the
Beggs company, as we believe this
ipromises the best for WatertoWn's in
| terests. 1t looks now as though when
1.-THE census is taken in 1910, the city
will have about 10000 inhabitants
which is a satisfactory increase in
the decade elapsing since the census
of 1900"

DOINGS TUESDAY
Saved From DROWNING

Jack Peterson, singer at the Lyric
theatre, had a narrow escape from
death by drowning this morning and
an experience he will not likely for
get during his lifetime. While skat-
ing on the river near Main street
bridge he failed to observe an opening
in the ice on the south side of the
Dria sc and before he could stop
plunged into the icy waters.
His cries for help attracted the at
tenti0n of several persons, among
them Charles J. Salick, who was wait
ing upon a customer in his store close
by. Hastily descending to the rear of
the building he seized a board, and
with Frank B. Weber, who happened
to be in the vicinity at the time. went
to the mans assistance. Showing out
the board into the opening as far as
possible Mr. Salick craWled out to-
ward the drowning man while Mr. We
Der followed and held onto Mr.. Salick,
as the ice was dangerous under his
weight. Peterson was utterly power
less to help himself and told his res
cuers so, but Mr.. Salick reached out
his arm and grabbed the drowning
T an by the wrist and succeeded in
pulling him onto the ice. Alderman
Russell, who also heard the cries,
gave the alarm and went to the man S
assistance, together with Joseph
HoefIler, who brought a ladder into
lrequisition which was pushed out to
the drowning man so that he might
sustain himself in the water. Luckily
Peterson wore no overcoat, and it is
! probable that if he had one on the eX-
ira weight would have bore him down
under the ice before help could reach
him.
After struggling In the water for
awhile Peterson got to the edge of
| the ice where he managed to hang on
| by his elbows thus holding himself
| upright in the water. When the lad
| der was pushed out to him he grabbed
| that and held on until Mr.. Salick
reached him. He was utterly eX-
hausted and a few minutes more in

swept under the ice by the current
R. H. Radtke also went to the assist
ance of the man while the crowd
viewed the scene with horror, expect
! ing every moment to see the man sue
cumb and sink beneath the surface.
The occurrence attracted a large
crowd of people who witnessed the
rescue from the bridge and banks of
the river. The place is certainly a
dangerous one and should be avoided
| by everybody as the ice on both sides
Of the bridge and underneath is usual
| ly open, except in extreme cold wealth
er. On Christmas day two young peo
| pie went into the river on the north
side of the bridge and were rescued
with difficulty and it was thought that
would be a sufficient warning, but ii
seems not, and it is probable that the
city will erect barricades at this point
to keep away the crowds which con
gregate on the river.
