LETTERS FROM READERS

To the Editor:
The origin of the American
Indian is a mystery that disturbs
the peace of philosophers Many
theories have been advanced but
all unfortunately like the Darwin
ian theory have a missing link.
The most feasible of these is the
one published recently by the
New York World connecting them
with the tribes of Ierael, known
to history as the Ten Lost Tribes.
These tribes numbered some 27,-
OO0-all told were taken into cap
tivity by Sargon, King of Assyria,
in about the year 722 B. c., and
their lands divided among the
Babylonians and the Syrians.
From then to the present day all
trace of them has been lost. Mas
sacre upon 80 extensive a scale
could never have been concealed.
whilst amaigamation, Judging from
the known history of the Hebrews,
seems equally impossible. This
theory has been supported by
many prominent scholars who pro-
Tess to detect a resemblance be-
tween the Indian dialect and the
phraselogyof the ancient Hebrews.
The one objection-curio Gus y
enough-is found in the argument
offered in favor j. 9. the profound
religious convictions which under
adverse circumstances prompted
the undertaking of desperate en-.
terprises. It seems unlikely that
in position where opposition
would be- least, that the tenets
would have been relinquished

It is conceded idea that selfish
ness is a characteristic of human
nature but narrow, grasping, exact

of individuals. Again there are
multitudes who are strangers to
selishness insofar as dealing with
others is concerned. Mentally
weighing the matter, life is life to
all of us and it's essentials become

ANOTHER SPECIAL PRIZE
1000 Extra Votes for Seven New
Subscriptions this Week

The Turquoise Set Gold Rings, offered
as the second special prize in the News
Budget Piano Contest, were awarded
Saturday night to Misses Eileen Hayes
of Ladysmith and Jessie Sergeant of
Sheldon.
We take this means of notifying all
interested in the News-Budget Popular
Girl Voting Contest, that the week
which ends Dec. 25th is the best period
so far offered for the girls to pile up
their votes. During this time, all sub
scriptions will count just the same as
they did at the beginning, 400 or 500
for each old or new subscriber, as the
case may be, and in addition to this,
for each $40 so turned in on subscrip-
ton, free Is, 900 votes will be given;
for the week ending Jan. 1st it will be
just the same way, only 13, 900 free votes
will be given for each $10.50 on sub
scription. From this, you will see that
this week is the best time to get votes.
From now until O'Clock on Saturday
evening, Jan. 1st, we have a special
of $25. 90 Silver Coffee Set for the
leading girl for this period. Several of
the girls feel that they are little be-
hind, but they should not feel discour-
aged. A little hustling for this and
next week will bring anyone up and is
sure of giving a nice prize. We are
anxious that all of the girls get prizes.
We are conducting this contest on
fair and honest basis so that no one can
get advantage over another so far as
this office is concerned. The prizes
have to go to the ones who show up
the most votes. The NewsBudget will
not show any preference and even If
we were so inclined, our system of
keeping a record of the work done by
each girl and her friends is such that
we could not if we wanted to.
We are always ready to explain any
point about the contest. Don't be ready
to listen to reports as to what this girl
or that girl is doing. No one can do
anything that another is not allowed to
do. All are working under the same
rules and conditions.
Remember that we are now growing
closer TO the close of the contest, and
that this and next week are the periods
for making votes fast.
Ii any friend of any of the contestants
desires to help her between now and
Saturday night, Jan. 1st, let him mail
his check or money order direct to this
office, stating for whom he desires his
votes cast.
The relative standing of the contest
ants is as follows:

PROPOSITION FOR
A NEW BRIDGE
The Menasha WcodenWare Company
Would Connect Third Addition
with the City

The long talked of proposition for the
building of a bridge across the Flambeau
at Third street east will probably come
| up in definite form before the next
meeting of the common council. How
ever no proposition has yet been made,
although a plan for the bridge is in pos
session of Alderman Peterson.
| 1t is understood that the Menasha
| Wooden Ware Co. is willing to build
this bridge at once, at a cost complete
of $4,000, and permit the city to pay
for it on installments running for six
years. This is probably much cheaper
than it could be built by the city.
The plans are for steel bridge 400
feet long, with five truss spans of rs
feet each. It will be sloping, being sew
en- feet from the water at the north end
and II feet at the south end, requiring
fill of about 10 feet at the north end.
The roadway will be 16 feet wide, with
six foot walk alongside. 1t will rest
on piling encased in 81 foot steel cylin-
ders filled with concrete. In the centre
of the channel the water is 19 feet deep.
1t is understood that there is dis
position on the part of the town of
Flambeau to assist in paying for this
bridge and there is talk of special
election for that purpose.
While it was generally supposed that
some opposition to this bridge would
develop when the plan should be pro-.
posed, at the present time none appears
to have developed. It is conceded by
all that two more bridges will be need
ed across the river in this city, and the
acceptance of this plan for the building
of one can in no way interfere with the
building of the other bridge.
Naturally this bridge will be of great
benefit to the Wooden Ware Co., in
the opening up of their large Third Ad-
dition to the city, but it will also great
ly enhance the assessed valuation of
this new addition so that the additional
revenue from taxation will probably
more than pay for the bridge before
many years roll round. Already many
persons who have bought lots in the
new addition are planning to erect SUBJ
stantial residences as soon as the bridge
is built
The donation of 20 acres for a park,
at the west end of the new addition, is
a matter that has been talked of in this
connection.

running through line of copper wire
from Rhinelander to Cameron. The
line from here to Rhinelander was put
in operation yesterday. None of the
stations between here and Prentice are
connected with this line, and there will
be none between here and Cameron.
This will give Ladysmith the best of
