making its presence in northern Mich
igan all the more remarkable.
The cactus patch Is not Of recent
origin, but probably has been there
for several centuries, according to the
Indian legends. Some forty years ago
a member of the Agricultural Depart
ment, while driving through Muskegon
county, came across the strange prick
ly-pear growth. After a thorough ex-
animation he stated that undoubtedly
the plant was native of Arizona and
had been introduced into the north by
Indians in their migrations. This sup
position has been borne out by the
tales which the Indians living in the
Blue Lake region were accustomed to
tell the early settlers
In a general way these stories all
recorded the wanderings of band of
their home In Arizona by another
tribe, and were forced to settle in
what Is now the state of Michigan.
The year 400 is approximately the
date OF this migration. These In
dams, 1t Is said, brought with them
some Of the cactus plants which were
so plentiful In the southern deserts,
and, although the Michigan climate
was very different from that in Ari-
IONA, this strange form Of vegetation
fourished. In proof of this story the
Michigan Indians would make palata-
BILE dishes from the tender shoots Of
the cactus, according to recipes handed
down from their ancestors.

WISCONSIN FIRE Loss 4,o74, 4s5.
State Marshal Gives Figures for the

Past Year.
In submitting his annual report to
the Governor State Fire Marshal T. NJ.
Purtell announces that the total fire
loss for the last year reported to his
department was S4.074435 The num-
Der of fires involved was 1907. A to-
TAI OF 692 dwellings were damaged by
nre, 400 of the fires being due to de-
IectiVe heating plants During the year
nVe chiefs were given power as deputy
mafshals with the view of better edu-
eating the people how to avoid fires.
Marshal Purtell recommends the APP
polntment of an electrical inspector

SwitzerIand's Advantages Through
Water Power Are Innumerable.
The freeing of the little republic
from dependence upon the coal fields
Of Germany, the reduction in the op-
Grating costs of the state-owned rail-
roads and the city-owned street rail-
ways, the placing OF Switzerland in a
position of industrial advantage, are
not the greatest gains which are to
follow the development of its water
power, says Frederic C. Howe in the
Outlook Possibly these are but the
spectacular exhibits of what a country
can do when 1t consciously aims to
use its resources for the benefit OF the
people. These gains do not include
the dreams which men have of the life
and civilization which are to follow
from this revolution In light, power
and possibly heat as well. They do
not include the freedom from drudg-
cry. the opportunity for culture and
enlightenment. the Frightening of farm
life, of the woman as well as the man.
Nor do they suggest the possibilities
of a cheap rapid transportation, by
means of which the farmer may be-
come city dweller and the clerk and
the mechanic obtain a country home
and both remain in close contact with
work. For the problem of energy is
the production of civilization and. with
its costs reduced to a minimum. there
are no limits to the visions which
men may have Of the society of to-

We, too, could boycott coal and light
the nation and fire It's boilers with the
water power with which nature has
endowed US; but the sovereignty of

suit Jointly against the Oshkosh Gas
Light Company and the Gould Manu-

OF $4,000 for the death of Frank
Groth, who was employed as a night
Waterman at the sash and door plant
of9the Gould Company, and who, it is
alleged by the plaintiff, died while on
duty as the result of an electric shock.
The basis upon which the plaintiff
charges responsibility for the death
OF Groth as regards the Gas Light
Company is that the company violat-
ed the city ordinance providing for
the supervision of electric wiring by
turning on the current without first
having the wiring examined and GER
