WATERPoWERs NOT PRIVATE.
Railroad Rate Commission So Holds
in Decision.

Railroad Rate Commission So Holds
in Decision.
\ reimbursement for rates for electric
lights was authorized IN a decision
handed down by the railroad commits
sion in the matter Of the complaint of
the city of Hudson against the rates
and services Of the Burkhardt Milling
and Electric Power Company. The
citizens seem to think that because the
company gets its power from the ST.
Croix River, the rates ought to be very
low, but the commission, after having
the matter under consideration for
more than a year, concluded that these
rates are not only reasonable, but that
the company would be justified in
charging slightly higher rates in some
cases. The decision involves the
proper method by which the value OF
water powers may be ascertained. The
common method of estimating so much
per horsepower about the same as the
cost for steam power is not accepted
by the commission for the reason that
it would deprive a community Of the
advantage it should have in the fact
that water power is conveniently To-
Gated IN other words, the commits
sion declares that water powers are
not purely private property.

Of pulpwood into this country from
Quebec will have no effect on the Wis

ing to W. S. Taylor, manager Of the
Pulpwood Company, the corporation
which furnishes all the mills in the

Reverse Election Result.
After the polls closed in Corliss on
election night and before the ballots
We're counted,a protestwas filed against
eighty ballots being counted, for the
reason that there was a cross mark in
one corner of each ballot in red ink.
Il is claimed that these ballots were
passed out to foreign workmen in the
shops at that place and who could not
read the English language, thus in
structing them how to vote. There
were two tickets in the field, Citi-
zens' ticket, headed by G. A. Brown,
and Taxpayers ticket, with Frank
Lingsweiler for president. The marked
ballots contained the name of the Citi-
Zens' candidate, and it was claimed
that if they were thrown out it would
elect the Taxpayers ticket. Some of
the supporters Of the taxpayers have
been consulting attorneys as to whether
another election could be called.

NINE INCHES OF SNOW.
Crops Are Damaged to the Extent of
Thousands of Dollars

crops Are Damaged to the Extent OF
Thousands of Dollars.
The fact that Douglas County got a
covering of snow OF from four to eight
inches deep just before the hard frost
came has probably done a great deal
toward preventing a failure of the
BURBERRY and other similar crops A
large share Of the blueberries for the
market in the cities of this part of the
country come from this vicinity and
anything that interferes with the crop
IS felt not only in the markets but
among those that depend on picking
for summer work The income from
berry picking is one of the chief
sources of yearly income of a large
population of Indians. Crops in the
vicinity Of La Crosse will be damaged
to the amount of thousands of dollars
owing to the severe weather following
fall of nine inches of snow.
