DETRIMENTAL
LEGISLATION
franchise tor New Dam is Held Up.
Legislature May Adopt a
New Policy

Heretofore the natter of securing
franchise from the legislature to build
a dam in Wisconsin has been principally
a matter of form. Proceeding on the
supposition that this would be contin-
ued, the Menasha Paper Co. has pro-
ceeded with the work of constructing
theft new dam ten miles south of this
city and the work is well under way.
The bill for the franchise was intro
duced by Senator Thomas last week.
Several other like bills have been intro
duced. The state forestry commission
has laid plans, with which some of these
proposed franchises will conflict. Con-
sequently all these bills are being held
up pending investigation, and there is
danger that some law may be passed
which will not permit of the completion
of our new dam this season.
Another pulp mill was to be built at
the new dam and the work was being
pushed because its product is already
needed by the company's paper mill in
this city.

Houses Nearly All Numbered

Notwithstanding the numerous OBJ
stacles he has encountered in the work
of numbering the city, ]. F. Cassidy
has been the busiest man in town the
last couple of weeks, and now has
about ninety per cent of the houses
numbered in a neat uniform style.
On all street corners he has placed
boards bearing the names Of the streets,
so that it is now possible for anyone
to find residence if given the street
and number.
The little slurring comment of the
Journal few weeks ago had the
effect of anything but "boost' in this
progressive work. 1t read:
'By the way, where is this man
Cassidy, the person who was to num-
ber our houses so fast?'
Mr.. Cassidy. was at the time laid
up with a case of blood poison. He
came here with recommended tions from
Stanley, Phillips, Hayward and Spoon
er, places he had numbered in this To-
qality, and secured authority from our
mayor to do the work here.

ed the twelve weeks winter dairy course
which has just closed at the dairy
school of the University of Wisconsin
College of Agriculture. This years

cured positions, and will begin their
work at once, a number of them oper-
ating their own factories. AS soon as
these students have completed the six
months practical work necessary after
finishing the course, they will receive
certificates based upon the quality of
their class work and the judgement of
an Inspector of their creamery or cheese
factory. They will also take active
part in the monthly butter and cheese
scoring exhibitions, which will bring
their products before experienced but
ter and cheese judges and give them
much additional training.

Collectors cannos Hold Out Fees


A special from Madison to the Sup
erior Telegram says:
State Treasurer A. H. Dahl is max
ing an attempt to close up the Lady
smith bank matter which has been in
litigation in this state for the past
four years. The state had loaned the
bank money on deposit, when the in
stitution failed, and an action was be-
gun by the then state treasurer to col
lect the sum. The firm of Glicksman
q Gold of Milwaukee finally collected
the amount due the state, but retained
81, 092. 80 o. which $949 was for SER
vices and $143. 80 for charges and dis
bursements. The state treasurer has
discovered that there is no way to al
low this amount by deduction in the
matter.
F'This amount of 81, O92. 80 should be
remitted to me and you present your
bill for services and disbursements
and | shall present this bill to the
Legislature for allowance" says State
Treasurer Dahl in letter to the law
firm yesterday. Il know of no other
way to proceed in this matter, as it is
not in accordance with law, for parties
having claims against the state to de-
duet what they consider the amount
due them, but their claims must be au-
dited out OF the state treasury-as all
claims must be paid in this manner"
