The food law does not force con-
sumers; it merely helps them tc pro-
tect themselves. All good housekeep.
ers want cream of tartar baking pow
ders, and will not use alum substi-
tutes in the food, if they know it.
AS the ingredients are printed on the
back of the label, all may know the
facts.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen /;
it is easily obtained at any store;
the better it is, the more economical
1t is in cooking materials, and the
more it conserves the health of the
family.

WATER POWERS
MAY BE TAXED
Bill Pending Before Legislature
Provides for Scale of Taxa
ton.

Water powers may be taxed here
after. There is a bill in the hands
of committee of the legislature that
gives the railroad commission the
right to tax the owners of dams %
cents for each horse power between
ten and 100 horse power, fifty cents
a year for each horse power between
100 and 500 horsepower, and sixty
cents per horse power for each horse
power over 500. The commission
shall determine the horse power de-
veloped by each dam. The fees are
to be paid into the state treasury.
We question very much whether
it's just and right for the State to
step in and tax water powers Such
a law we believe would have a dis
position to stop the Development of
further water powers. Would the Con
solidated Water Power & Paper COM
pany of this city made their present
investment in this city had such a
law been upon our statute books. We
say no, it would have discouraged
the investment. Is it right now to
tax this venture when it can hardly
pay dividends to it's stock holders?
We cannot see any justice or equity
in such law. Defeat it's passage. Leg.
islatures are too expensive and ex-
travagant and then try to make good
by taxing everything that has any re-
venue producing power. Gentlemen,
go slow. Don't tax our manufactur-
ing enterprises to death.

tractive and pleasing feature, and
greatly appreciated by the audience
and membership of that society;
they have always furnished excellent
music which has been considerably
above the average for church organi-

bership of said choir has varied and
changed, the quality of singing has
never deteriorated, but has steadily
grown better, and at the present time
it is excellent and fully upto the
highest standard. AS now organized

J. j. Drummond. with a corps of
surveyors, is laying out the proposed
new line of the Wisconsin Central
railroad between Grand Rapids and
Mukwonago, and is now working
in and about the city o. Beaver Dam.
Two preliminary surveys have been
made, both entering that city on the
former William L. Parker farm. run

be run before is decided just where
the road will pass through the city.
Mr.. Drummond and his surveyors
have been working on the survey from
Beaver Dam to MukwOnago since last
November and have completed it.
All the grades have been established
and section lines laid out Surveyors
have also been at work at the north
ern end of the line and have now near
ly completed the survey to Grand
Rapids.
The line from Beaver Dam to Fox
Lake has not yet been surveyed, but
just as soon as the surveyors complete
their surveys, one gang will commence
at Fox Lake and the other at Beaver
Dam and make the survey between
the two towns.
The survey is nearly on straight

the Great Lakes is fast becoming
a city of great Importance for its
grain, iron and steel traffic. and with
