CAN MAKE'EM WHITE
Illinois Scientist Claims Negro Need
Not De Black.

That the negro can soon become
white not merely as white as the Or
dinary Cancasiar but as clear skin
ned as the pink eyed, white haired al
Dino, by the direction of the scientist,
is the contention of @. 7. Simpson of
Illinois. Simpson, who is chairman
of the committe on original research
of the American Breeders associ alton,
says:
''By experiment with plants and
animals we have learned much of the
Sc. called law of heredity, and in doing
so we have come to know great deal
of the nature of the chromosomes or
unite of life which gives color. We
are close, jim my opinion to gaining COM
plele control over these chromosomes,
aud that means controlling color.
g have no doubt that before long
it will be possible so to treat living
creature either, by injections or by
baths, that the chromosomes in the
cells will be attenuated or destroyed. =

LUCY LEE CONCERT MAKES HIT
BEFORE PACKED
HOUSE
From Thursdays Daily

The Congregational church was
crowded last evening when the last
number of this years lecture course
was given by the Lucy Lee Concert

Gaylord Yost, the violinist, and Miss
Ella Schroeder, ,violinist and accompa-

ty. They appeared four times, each
time with encores.
Burton Thatcher, barton proved very
popular ana received several encOres
His songs were humorous, military and
some softer and more reminiscent as
can be seen from the titles, A Memory,
The Sword of Farrara, A Hunting Song
and The Magpies.
Miss Lucy Lee made the hit of the
evening with her readings. She appear
ed three times and each time respond
ed to several encores. She sho wed
great ability in mimicking the voice.
and actions of her characters, from the
old southern negro, giving in his
testimony, 10 the proud father singing
lullabieS to his first born. Her readings
were true to life to such an extent as
to give some of her numerous readings
touch Of pathos. This was especial
ly shown in her story of the attempt
ed elopement of the aged couple with
their childish, but mirth provoking
metho Of carrying it out.
This seasons lecture course has bee n
throughout one of exceptional
merit and the people of Baraboo will
undoubtedly respond even more liber-

No Boycott,

The fact that the boarders at The
Cummings House have put ban
on meat for thirty days has caused
considerable talk in this city. Now it
must be understood that this is not in
the form of boycott, nor an attempt
to boycott nor is it missile hurled at
our local meat men. We think the
people themselves are largely to blame
for prevailing prices of meat and that
the demand for choice cnts of meat
exceeds the supply. From another
point Of view, people eat too much
meat for their general good health,
and this one fact alone is the funda-
mental principle on which this move
was started. We also wish it under
stood that Miss Cummings is not in
strumental in this movement, as it is
nosmaIl amount of work to prepare a
meal for fifty people without meat.
Now after three days trial we still
have our usual number, none having
died, nor are there any sounds OF
skeletons rattling on tin roofs. In
fact we are all feeling better SO far as
heard from. Many private families
are falling into line and if they con-
tinue to do SO, the swine, bovine, and
their meekness, the lambs, will adjust
themselves to their normal condition,
so far as price is concerned, and peo-
pie will be able to secure their required
amount of meat at nominal prices
dealers will be able to make as large d
profit on their meat and the desired
results will be obtained.

The rleat Boycott

Emil Werlich put his head into the
door and wanted to know if there
were any Cummings boarding house
meat boycotters there? He said the
boycott was an outrage and he could
thresh the whole bunch. Stanley
Clawater jumped to his feet and defend
ed the course taken by the boarding
house and declared that if the packers
continued to rob right and left by
making a profit of 335 per cent that
they would all turn vegetarians. Just
then the president brought down a
pair of tongs with which to keep order
and asked Stan to explain the mean
ing of the last word he used Every
body laughed at the president and
while order was being restored, Stan
went on to say that he did not blame
The local meat dealers so much as the
packers, but he knew that all of the
butchers in Baraboo were getting rich.
How could they help it. A farmer
brings in hog, sells it for cents, and
then the market charges % cents a
Dound for bacon. Stan said that he
would never get married If prices of
meat kept beyond reason.
Werlich said that it was the barbe rs
and not the meat men who were getting
rich. AS an example he said that
Jacobs had big house on a hill and
some mighty fine chickens, too. Then

Snow is Very
Deep

The snow is so deep in the woods that
it is almost impossible to get around
to cut wood, and the roads are none

KANGAROO KLUB
HOLDS MEETING
SEVERAL NEW rlEMBERS ARE
VOTED IN THE DISCUSSION
IS INTERESTING


fellows had been entertained at the
Kangaroo Klub rooms the members
thought it was such great success
that it would be capital idea to hold
open house every now and then, in
order to increase the popularity of
the organization. When they took a
second thought, they decided they
might Just as well charge an initiatin
fee, in order to pay for the kerosene
and old boxes they bought of Brown,
the peoples grocery man. Some
thought that a fee of two dollars
should be charged for riding the goat,
and others thought the sum too great,
while the cost of living was so high.
When the discussion was at it's top
notch point, B. I'll. Strong suggested
that since pint was pound the
world around, that every member
should give penny for each pound he
weighed. p. III. Gibbons aud some of
the other heavy weights in the club
stormed against the proposition but
the idea was SO popular that it was
carried when put to vote.
DR.. Helm thought that if there was
to be money handled in the club, that
there should be treasurer, am then
it came about that they select officers i.
The balloting resulted as follows:
President-P. HI. Gibbons.
Vice President-Dr. Helm.
Secretary-Mike Oleson.
Treasurer-OScar DoppIer.
The election of the popular black
smith to the highest office, was so
pleasing to him that he apoligized for
the serious objection he made to the
penny pound initiation fee the club
decided TO charge.
In order TO get the treasurer busy,
each stepped upon the scales and then
forked over his cash 10 The official
Just as the club was ready for busi-
ness, Ernest Sanderson came along,
was promptly weighed and put down
his spondulicks, $1.69. Oscar asked
Sanderson about the weather, and he
said he did not see much difference
between this winter and those that
had gone before. IN fact it reminded
him of a few lines he once heard, he
said ran as follows as near as could be

NEW POWER LINE
BEING BUILT RAPIDLY

When it comes to a matter of
doing things and going at it in a
business-like manner, there are few
firms that are able to give many
points to the Hydro-Electric Power
company. They are going ahead
along the line with the construction
CT the power plant from Lundy to
this district, and doing their work
with so little noise that it is diff
cult to keep track of their move
ments. The intelligent and astute
newsgatherer of this paper prides
himself on his ability to let no news
item escape him, and yet these peo-
pie had distributed materials for
the line all the way from Fairview
to Wonder mountain before he had
found out what they were doing.
The contract for planting the poles
and the stringing of the wires from
Lucky Boy by way of Rawhide and
Fairview to Wonder had been let
to Fred Hess. Most of the wire, in
sulators and other materials has ar
rived at Fallon and Schurz, and is
now being hauled to points along
the line, where it will be used The
poles are also beginning to arrive.
Mr.. Hess has his crew of posthole
diggers, pole raisers and pole climb
ers organized and QUILTED, and
from now until the current is put
on, early in February, there will be
something doing every minute.
The work of erecting the gener-
ating plant at Lundy is practically
completed, with the exception of a
section of pipe, which must cross a
forest reserve, and concerning which
there was a misunderstanding be-
tween the power people and the for
estry officials as to the permit to
cross the reserve. This difficulty
has been arranged satisfactorily
and in short time the Mig pipe
will be conducting a great stream
of water to the powerful wheels and
then sending converted energy over
the copper threads to the mining
camps of Nevada.
A. F. Dieter, secretary of the
company, and co. Poole, consult
ing engineer, came into Wonder on
Thursday to look over the ground,
and after making arrangements for
site for the local sub-station, left

masked men entered the mine from
the third level and by prying on
the locks managed to open the
doors. This entrance, not being
used by the company, was closed by
heavy doors and padlocks. The
holdups, being evidently familiar
with the mine workings, descended
to the lower level through the shaft
and ordered the miners they found
working to stick up their hands and
line up on the main tunnel level.
While one, with a gun in each hand,
held the men, the others looked for
the high-grade ore. 1t seems, how
ever, that they did not know there
were other miners working who had
not been corraled. And upon hear
ing them approach the robbers be-
came frightened and beat hasty
retreat without securing any booty.
The mill is constantly guarded,
day and night, and it is probable
that the mine will be hereafter. -

ELKO COUNTY LEADS
IN SHEEP INDUSTRY

At the regular meeting of the
state board of sheep commissioners
held recently, some facts were pre-
sented that show the standing of
Nevada as a sheep raising section.
The Elko Free Press, in looking
over the situation, puts forth the
following claim:
Elko county is the most impor-
tant county in the state, there being
more sheep grazed in this county
alone than in all the remaining
counties of the state, it being es-
timated that over 100000 head
Craze there annually. AS soon as
winter approaches most of the big
bands are started for the south
grazing as they go, and are win
tered on the deserts, where the fall
of snow is light. When the spring
days appear, huge bands of from
5000 to 10000, pass almost daily
on through our town to the north
ern grazing grounds When it is
known that Elko county has over
100000 acres, 1t can be seen
how so many head can be fattened
for market on our ranges.
