States Claim on Milwaukee.

wi IuS o0pl CI1IC NOOl1 "eNo
argued the case of the state of Wis
consin against the city and county OF
Milwaukee, an action brought by the
state to recover from those corpora
tions the sum Of 1920, 732.48, being the
amount of fines and penalties collect
ed therein for violations of the penal
laws of the state and which, according
to the constitution of the state belong
to the school funds of the state.
The period during which the state
claims there is default in the payment
of these fines and penalties by the
city and county extends from January
/, 1859 to January /, 1909, and the de-
PENDANTS plead the statute of limita-
ton In the trial court judgment was
entered for the state and the defend
ants appealed to the supreme court
where the statute of limitations was
again offered as bar against collection
by the state. Attorneys concluded that
the statute was available to the de-
PENDANTS for the reason that they are
at most but agents for the collection
of the moneys in question, implied
trustees, and as such may invoke the
protection of the statute.
The state contended that the trust
is one created by the constitution
which provides that the clear pro
ceeds of all fines for violations Of the
penal laws shall constitute part
of the trust funds of the
state to be used exclusively
for the support and maintenance
of the schools of the state and that it
is beyond the power of the Legislature
directly or indirectly to ALLEVIATE the
fund or any part of it to purposes
other than those specifically mentioned
in the constitution; that, under the
doctrine established by the supreme
court, the statute of limitations op
crates not only to abolish the remedy
but to transfer title to the adverse
claimant after the period prescribed
has expired; that the statute is not
available to the county and city for
the reason that the legislature is
powerless to relieve them in contra
vention of the plain provision Of the
fundamental law.

Pea Packers Of state In session.

"The manufacturers of benzoate
of soda are the worst enemies
of the canning industry In the
country" said Frank E. Gorrell, secre-
tary of the National Gamers assocla-
ton, in his address before members
of the Wisconsin Pea Packers asso-
citation at their sixth convention at
the Republican house.
"The newspapers of the country are
often innocently duped into adver-
Using campaigns for chemical preser-
natives, and the boraX trust is espe-
cially prominent in advancing this
kind of work.
Mr.. Gorrell read the bill requiring
heavier tin plate for cans, to be in
troduced in this congress, and said
Wisconsin was entitled to the credit
for having been the pioneer in the
movement for better tin plate. The
bill requires three pounds of tin to
the box.
The feature from the pea growers
standpoint, was the address Of Prof.
r. A. Moore on pedigreed seeds and
the work of the college of agriculture
in raising the yield per acre Of Wis
consin grains. After detailing the
wonderful results obtained from Oden-
brett barley, No. oats and pedigreed
corn, which had attracted the atten-
ton of the agricultural world, he i'd
mitted that as yet the department
was growing very few seed peas, al
though corn was much more difficult
to grow.
mo reason exists" said Professor
Moore, why we can't make as rapid
progress with peas, and in ten or
twelve years greatly increase the
yield per acre, the uniformity OF the
ripening period and uniformity Of the
size of the peas, which are the three
objects to be attained in pea culture.
1--WE have doubled the yield of corn
and increased the yield Of barley ten
bushels to the acre, and there Is no
reason why we should not do as much
for the pea grower. From all over
the world now comes the demand for
Wisconsin pedigreed grains, while we
have to go to other states for our
seed peas, although Wisconsin has
more acreage devoted to pea growing
than any other state, and we have
1000 young farmers, educated in our
college of agriculture, waiting to
grow seed peas for the entire world.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE BIO.

The Bio P%hotoplay "a closed
four nights last week while paper
hangers and other workers were en-
gagged in the building. While there
is considerable work still under way,
yet what met the eyes of patrons
when the doors we're thrown open
again Friday night was a big sur
prise.
Ely may we'll be proud of this es-
adjustment. Its pictures are the
latest ~obtainable. its attaches always
courteous and obliging. and its
mechanical equipment is the best
money can buy and handled by men
trained in the school of practical ex-
perience. People who have recently
been in the larger eastern cities have
freely commented on the fact thai
the pictures projected are the equal
of any seen elsewhere.
The management are wide awake
always watching for new ideas, and
to them full credit is due for the
present high class stage which the
Ely %photoplay business has reached
Entire change of program will b,

REMOVAL OF COMPANY OFFICES
Located i'm New Quarters I'm Copper
National Bank Building.

The offices OF the Ely Securities
company have been removed from
the townsite building TO the bank
Bank of East Ely. where the bust
ness of the company is now being
transacted.
On account of the increased de
mand for power the Ely Light and
Power company has decided to OPP
crate one section of its new plant at
East Ely, the plant at the old loea-
ton not having capacity to supply
the power needed.
Presumably from these changes,
as well as from reports that have
been circulated for sometime in the
neighborhood. there have been
rnmors that are hardly borne out by
the statements made in this paper
some weeks ago and which was given
out by the general manager of the
Ely Securities company. The rumors
state that the Giroux company had
purchased the property known as the
Townsite company. together with the
water rights owned by them, and
that Messrs. Cole 4 Ryan Were the
actual purchasers.
In a further interview with Arthur
Smith. the general manager of the
Ely Securities company, the News
re~iterates its former statement as
made by Mr.. Smith, viz: mo other
company, TO my knowledge. has any
thing to do with the change OF i'm

panies with which | am connected

One of the truly enjoyable parties
given for the pleasure of the child

Is the daughter of w. B. Colwell but
the party was given at the home of
the paternal uncle of little Jessie. A.
B. Colwell, across from the home of
the ce%lebrant, on the same street.
The little folks gathered on Saturday
afternoon to partake of a luncheon
and to indulge In games and listen to
musical selections of a varied sort.
The gifts made to the hostess were of
a useful as well as ornamental char
acter, and she entertained her
thirteen guests in a very kindly and
pleasant way regardless of the ap-
parent unlucky number. Those
present we're: Jean Lloyd Han, Bab-
by Richard, Annette Marks, Campton
and Eunice Root, Margaret Baird,
Louis Strokey, Millare Shell, Hazel
Wright; and the sister of Jessie,
Misses Jean and Betsy Colwell. The
children had a very pleasant after
noon in games and frolicsome play
after partaking of the noon luncheon.
Unusually enjoyable was the re-
ception of Mrs. Charles Jenkins at
her artistic home in McGill on Mon
day afternoon at which about fifty
ladies from MeGill, Ely and East Ely
assembled to enjoy her hospitality,
and delightful indeed were the
hours which were whiled away in
pleasant conversation and music.
Mesdames Putnam and Stephens, two
of Ely's most accomplished musici-
ans, delighted their listeners with
ii Duet approximately received and
Mrs. Wallace in her eyer pleasing
manner sang He was a Prince" to
which she was enthusiastically en-
cored and graciously responded.
In the dining room, which was at
fractively decorated in jack-D'-lan-
terms and greens, Mesdames Byrne
and Chandler presided over the tea
table and were gracefully assisted by
Mesdames McElroy. Wallace, Stevens
and Miss Duddleson. The tempting
punch bowl which proved a refresh
ing diversion at intervals during the
afternoon vas decorated in unique
halloween attire and was presided
over by Mrs. McAiillen A piano
solo by Miss McGill brought to a
close n of the most delightful So
cial functions of the season.
