ha, are each typical OF the
sections in which they are
located and the findings in
these will be of value to the
residents of adjourning coun-
ties. A less detailed, or as
the soil investigators call it,
"a reconnaissance survey,
will be made of the block of
counties comprising Polk,
Barron, Rusk, ST. Croix,
Pierce, Dunn, Chippewa and
Eau Claire. The aim OF the
survey in the northwestern
portion of the state will be to
encourage settlement by de-
termining and indicating the
types of farming best adapt
ed to that section. 1t will
mean a great deal TO the state
as a whole. The information
gained as a result of this
work will be of value not only
to the student of soils, but to
the tiller of soils as well.
The work will supply accurate
data regarding the different
soils in the state.

Death Of Mrs. Segal

Mrs. Louis Segal. who has been
lingering between life and dea5h
since the 18th of July. when she was
operated on for appendicitis, passed
away at the ST. Joseph Hospital at
Ashland last Friday evening. The
news was received in the city with
profound sadness, as it had been
hoped that she would ultimately re-
cover. All the care and love that
skilled physicians anG an anxious
household could devise and apply
was brought into play, but it had
been ordered by Him who rules our
incomings and our outgoings that,
the prayers and entreaties of ali
who knew and loved her should be
overruled. 1t is sad at any time to
chronicle the death of person, but
doubly so when that death visits the
home and takes the bride of but four
months and leaves a heartbroken hus-
band and host of sorrowing friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Segal were married at
the home of the brides mother at
st. Paul. on March 28th. and she
has been a resident of this city but
a short time, but during that time
she has made host of friends and
it seemed that she had been resi-.
dent here for many years. A
notable incident was that she died
on her twenty fifth birthday. Death
is indeed hard MASTER he would
take from us the youngest, the
brightest and the best. Vainly
may we grope after the infinite
meaning and ask the question, why
should such a person, so young. so
promising and so happy be taken
from her great company of relatives
and friends? This is the same old
question that has been asked so
many times, and perhaps will never
be answered. Yet sad as is death,
it can never mar memory. 1t will
serve as balm to the wounded re-
.latives and friends. For the be-
reaved husband we have nothing
but the most heartfelt sympathy in
which the entire community joins.
As such life was blessing and
benefactlon to all within the sphere
Of it's influence so is the death Of
such a one a public misfortune.
The remains of Mrs. Segal were

said there will probably nev-
er be known. A few moments
later two shots were fired.
One shot entered Boutin's ear
and emerged at the back OF
the neck, this wound was not
considered serious. The
other entered the left side of
the body below the heart and
lodged in the spinal column.
Barker said that he did not
intend to shoot Boutin, but
that he had procured a gun
for the purpose of making a
bluff. There are many stOr-
les afoat regarding the ac-
tions of Boutin and Mrs. Bar
ker and it is said that this was
the entire cause of the shoot
ing.
Corner DIR. Burns in COM
pany with DR.. Mitchell went
to Bayfield, Tuesday morning
and held a post mortem ex-
animation on the body OF
Boutin. The bullet was To-
Gated and an inquest was
thought unnecessary. Both
Drs. Burns and Mitchell hold
that Boutin could not sur
vive. Boutin was buried at
Bayfield, yesterday.
Barker was br ought before

with murder. He waived
preliminary examination and
was bound over to await the

ney Shea of Ashland.

Some Discussion as to its
Identity.
Has Been Grown Here. L.
Bates has Several
Plants.

No little discussion is INDUCED
in as regards the identity of the
new berry which is called the
Wonderberry. We believe that
it would be interesting to our
readers to know what several
authorities have to add to the dis.
cussion. The Wonderberry has
been introduced into this city.
l.. Bates has several plants on
exhibition at his store and those
who have not seen the berry can
do so at any time by calling at
the store. Several plants are
also growing at the D. J. Esta-
brook farm and seem to be thriv-
ing in this climate. The Literary
Digest has taken up the discus
sion and we give the article here
with:
Some of the horticultural
papers are exercised over the
identity and properties Of a plant
called the wonderberry or sun
berry. advertised at a recent
production of Luther Bur bank
and described as an edible COM
bination of two wild berry plants
of the night-shade family, both
OF which yield only poisonous
fruit. The catalog of one dealer
who processes to be the only
one to offer this marvel, says Of
it:
/ Its influence in an economic
sense on the human race will be
far-reaehing, for it as entirely
novel and a distinct and valuable
article of food which any one may
grow in abundance anywhere at
practically no cost; in short, get
the maximum results from a
minimum output in labor Or eX-
pense. Luther Burbank's ap-
parently wild estimates of it's
value have been more than con-
firmed by our large crops OF it
the past summer, and by the
fruiting specimens in our green
houses this winter. %
Mr.. Burbank is quoted in The
Rural New Yorker (New York.
July 10Y, to which we are also in
debted for the extract given
above, as making the following
statement concerning the parent
age of the new plant:
"This absolutely new species
of berry plant is of great scien
tific interest, having been pro-
duced by the com bination of two
very. distinct wild species Sola-
mum guineense of West Africa
and Solanum villosum of the
West Coast of America. Neither
of these wild species bears edible
berries, but this new species
bears the most delicious, whole
some, and healthful berries in
the utmost profusion and always
comes as exactly true from seed
as any species produced by ma
ture."

Bayfield, County Will Benefit
by Appropriation.
Work Will be Begun at Once
by Government and State
Experts.

is now an assured fact. The
present legislature made the
work possible by voting (and
without a dissenting voice. an
annual appropriation Of $40,
600. Then, upon the urgent
solicitation of President Van
Hise and Professor Whitson,
of the University, who pre-
Isented the claims of Wiscon-
sin upon the soil bureau of
the federal government, the
department of agriculture at
Washington agreed to dupli-
cate the legislative fund. In
stead of working with an an
nual budget of but $40, 600 the
state soil bureau will have
access to twice that amount.
The work will be under the
general supervision of Prof.
A. r. Whitson. of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture,
and he will be assisted by two
corps of men-one from the
United States Bureau of Soils
Investigation and the other
from the University of Wis
consin. The former will be
lead by Mr.. Grove B. Jones,
who has had extensive ex-
perience in soil inspection in
various sections of the coun-
try. The Wisconsin men will
be Fred L. Musback. of Ere
donia; Alfred HI. Meyer, of
Madison; Theodore j. Dunno
valid, of Madison; Arthur HI.
Huffman, of Lowell, and
Leroy A. Schoenmann, of
Madison. The men will work
in parties of two--one man
be ing chosen from the gov
eminent and the other from
the Wisconsin group. Wis
consin is large state and
contains some seventy conn-
ties. To make a detailed
farm survey would necessitate
the expenditure of a vast
amount of money and would
consume several years, even
with a large force of soil ex-
aminers and chemists. More
over, such a survey would be
unnecessary and, therefore,
inadvisable. There are soils
which are typical and repre-
sentative Of nearly all the
farms in a given section !.
To know the soil upon a few
of these farms is to know it
upon all of them. For this
reason the soil investigators
will deal with typical soils
and will not unnecessarily
multiply their work by max
ing analyses of soils found up
on every farm in the state.
Even working upon this
comparatively simple basis
the squads will be able to
do work in but twelve to
thirteen counties, during the
present season. The four
scattering counties, Bayfield,,

"Shall Norris run the town." This
charge has been made every time the
Times Republican has supported a
candidate for office. presumably be-
cause the Times Republican is manned
by gunners who shoot straight to the
mark. 1t is now being painted on ban
ners to be spread to the breezes on
election day. but it has recently been
very apparent that when the Times
Republican was supporting the other
fellow there was no complaint raised
by him as to Norris running the
town.
Stanton Will Win.

of voters, precinct by precinct. shows
that Mr.. Stanton is going to be elected
