NEW ELEVATOR FOR C. NJ
Hill Will Have Storage Room for
100000 Bushels.

The excavation for 1000, 000-bush-
ell storage house for the Great North
ern was started in Superior last
week. It will be on the st. Louis bay
slip, Just east of the big steel ele-
vator, and will be constructed accord
ing to the tank system. 1t will have
no handling of machinery. all of the
receiving and shipping work being
done by Elevator S. The only ma
chinerv to be installed will be that
needed to convey the grain to and
from the tanks.
The elevator will replace Elevator
A of the Great Northern system,
which was burned in the big bay front
fire in November, 1907. When COM
Dleted it will give the Great Northern
system a storage capacity of 100000
bushels of grain. There is only one
plant in the world with a larger ca
pacity than this and that is at Port
Arthur. There are, however, two
handling houses at that plant, so 1t
is in reality two systems and not one.
The Great Northern system is all OPP
Grated from Elevator S. so the local
system will be the largest in the
world when the new house is COM
Dleted.
The contract stipulates that the
new house shall be completed by Aug.
/, 1909.

WINTER UTTER SCORES.
Good Showing Made by Exhibitors
From All Parts of Wisconsin.

Good Showing Made by Exhibitors
From All Parts of Wisconsin.
The January scoring exhibit at the
dairy school of the University of Wis
consin included sixty packages of but
ter, all of which were of excellent
quality. The three highest scores, as
marked by Judges T. Corneleison, U.
S. Baer and Math Michels, were: A.
H. Wilcox, Bloomer, 1856; l.. P. Ho1-
gerson, Troy Center, 1855, and o. J.
Groth, Cedarburg, 95. With the high
est score 1886 and the lowest IS, the
average reached the excellent stand
ard of 92.11.
This exhibit was of unusual quality
for winter-made butter. The old cream
and wintry flavors, however, were
quite noticeable in almost every pack
age. This flavor can be eliminated by
better care of COWS and barns, by de-
livering cream oftener, and by churn-
ing as soon as possible after the
cream is received at the creamery.
When the supply of cream is light,
during the winter months, these de-
fects are hard to overcome in cream
cries. The body of this butter, as
whole, was exceptionally good, and
only few packages were found to be
a trife notified. This could have been
avoided by working the butter more
and by keeping the rollers of the but
ter workers from intermeshing, as this
often causes notifies. Several pack
ages were found to be gritty which in
dictates that the salt was not allowed
to dissolve sufficiently while the but
ter was being worked The salt used,
too WAS too cold

a call of the house Wednesday morn

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE
REVIEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF THE
STATE LEGISLATORS FOR THE WEEK

+, lutions is checked until arrival of alb
| sentees.
In the assembly John T. Hughes of
man of Husting, created trouble along
similar lines when he stopped consid-
GRAFTON on bill urged by West Allis
and designed to legalize it's school
bond issue. There being no daily
newspapers in West Allis, the suburb
advertised it's bonds in a Milwaukee
paper. Bond buyers questioned the
legality of the issue, and the bill in
troduced today makes legal an adver-
tisement In paper published in the
same county with general circulation
in the school district in question. 1t
is retroactive. The lower house was
about to take quick action on the BILL
when Assemblyman Hughes called at
tention to last weeks resolution limit
ing business to introduction of bills
and resolutions, and said that it would
be breach of faith to consider the
West Allis bill. 1t was Hughes who
was told that it would be breach of
faith to consider the senatorial in
vestigation resolution. He had his
revenge when Speaker Bancroft ad-
mitted that his point was in order,
and proceeded to send the bill to the
committee On cities. Soon after that,
at 1915, the lower house adjourned.
In all, twenty-four bills and resolu-
lions were introduced in the lower
house, most of them being Social
Democratic measures.
Upon the convening of the assem-
bly, Wednesday morning the roll call
was dispensed with, and dozen bills
came to the clerks desk. Assembly
man J. E. Mcconnell of La Crosse in
troduced the Dunn pocket ballot bill.
It provides that the county board of
supervisors may exercise it's option
and use the ballot if it wishes.
Assemblyman Weber introduced
five bills. The first is that laborers
shall be paid in cash; the second re-
lates to the financial aid to poor peo-
pie with cases before courts; the
third to prohibit the importation of
private detectives in case of strikes;
the fourth that departments of public
works can be established by a ma
iority vote of the council instead Of
a two-thirds vote, as at the present
time; the fifth provides that laborers
shall have one days rest out of seven.
