was treated 10 one Of the clearest

of the tariff that has ever been heard
here. His arguments were clean

showed its injustice, its fuvoritism

taken from different schedules:
"Thcy have given you tariff law
that places things YOU do not need

BARABOO CITIZEN
GETSA PATENT
CONTRACTOR ARTHUR JUOEViNE
INVENTS A HANDY GASOLINE
DEVICE.

Contractor Arthur Judevine has Sc
cured a patent on tank container for
gasoline engines, especially those used
on automobiles. The patent tank is
within the larger tank and when the
outer or larger tank is exhausted the
patent one remains full. When a
machine stops it is warning that the
gasoline is gone and the reserve tank
can then be used. The inside tank is
automatically filled at the same ii ne
as the other one but the gasoline can
not be used until the oil is turned on
by the operator. The invention is one
that will be much in demand. Mr.,
Judevine has been using one of the
patent tanks On his car for a year and
has thoroughly tested it.

DRILLING IN THE
RIVER BOTTOM
WORK HAS BEGUN ON THE NEW
MILLION DOLLAR DAr1 AT
PRAIRIE DU SAC.

Preliminary work on the huge power
dam to be constructed at Prairie du
Sac was resumed Wednesday when a
drilling outfit was set up on the sand
bar in the river bed. Drilling will be
commenced at once to ascertain the ma
ture of the soil in the bed of the river.
Owing to the low stage of water this
work can to great extent be done
on dry land. The bottom of the river
was sounded with rods about two
years ago.
This, together with the survey for
the extension of the Milwaukee road
to the Wisconsin Hydro Electric Co.'S.
dam site, made two weeks ago, and
the taking of options on lands border
ing the river on either side north to
Merrimack, shows that preliminary
work for the power damis progressing
Actual work of the dam will be COM
menced this month, it is said by the
promoters.

PASTURES SHORT
SAYS JOHN N. TRUE
CROP REPORT NOT GRATIFYING
THOUGH CORN THOWS
FAIR

With the corn crop showing per-
centage of IS and sugar beets II the
prospects for fair crops of these two
products are not so disceuraging.
More gloomy, however, are the pros
poets for potatoes and tobacco, two
other important staples, according 10
the report of Secretary John M. True,
of the state board of agriculture. But
most discouraging of all is the showing
of the pastures, thirty per cent being
the average condition throughout the
state. This means much 10 the farm
ers and the dairy interests must suffer
seriously in consequence.
The following percentages of condi-
ton of crops is reported by cOrre-

HORSE KILLED BY AN AUTO
Hans Foss, Cottage Grove, Loses
Animal as Result of
Collision.

Much excitement prevailed at King
and Webster streets in Madison Thurs
day when horse driven by Hans FOss,
a Cottage Grove farmer, was struck by
an automobile, res sulting in the ami
mails death. The car was being dri-
ven by Miss Selma Fjelstad, daughter
of County Clerk G. j. Fjelstad, who
had several companions with her. Many
spectators say the horse was driven
directly in the path of the automobile
and that Miss FJelstad did all in her
power to avert the accident, stopping
the car without delay after she realized
that collision was possible. They
were inclined to place the blame on
the farmer. The horse broke its leg
and a policemen killed the animal.

MILK GOES UP
TO SEVEN CENTS
SOr1E LOCAL DEALERS tiANR
RAISED PRICE-OTHERS STILL
HOLDING OFF.

Have you begun to pay cents q
quart for your milk? If not you are
| likely to do so soon as the milk dea lers
in the city say the price of the precious
lacteal fluid has been increased by the
farmer. This raise in price they say
is made necessary by the lack of pastur-
age for the cows and the thereby de-
creased yield.
The local milkmen are trying TO
reach an agreement among themselves
to keep the price at cents a quart. It
is stated, however, that while some
maintain their price is cents, enough
tickets will be included for dollar
when the customer makes purchase,
to prac tically make the price 6 cents.
Such an arrangement has created dis
sension in the ranks of the milk distrib.
utors SO that now some charge and
some cents quart with the consum-
er on the watch for the lowest bidder.
While pasturage for cattle in this
vicinity is undoubtedly poor this sea-
son it would hardly seem that an ad-
vance in the price of milk is warranted
this early. Conditions throughout the
northern part of the state are much
more serious. In some counties the
farmers are selling their cattle for beef
on account of the lack of fodder.

SNAKE BITES
NOT FATAL
HOWARD l.. DiRBLE TELLS OF
CONDITIONS AT REDROCK,
ARKANSAS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Howard l.. Dibble,
and four children of Redrock, Arkan-
sas are visiting relatives in the city.
Mr.. Dibble is connected with a factory
which puts out wagon and buggy
spokes and as business is slack at pres
ent, the mill was closed and Mr.. DID,
bic took the opportunity of visiting
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Dib-
BILE. Unless the mill opens soon he
will spend several months in Baraboo.
The principal crops at Redrock are
Gotten, cane, corn and copperheads.
The latter are so thick in that locality
that it is dangerous to even pick up a
stick out of doors after nightfall as the
snakes come down from the mountains
and are liable to be found anywhere.
The natives are often bit but an i'm
mediate application of kerosene takes
out the poison and the bites are seldom
fatal, although the spot where the
poison enters decays and falls away.
The climate at Redrock is not as
warm as here an0 the nights are cool.
During the summer there has been
plenty of rain.
The natives of Arkansas, as is usual
ly the case in the south, care for only
enough to live on and therefore raise
just enough to supply them with ne
cessities.

To STOP DEVILS
LAKE BLASTING
ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTS TO
SAVE LAND WANTED FOR
STATE PARK PURPOSES.

Russell Jackson, assistant attorney
general, Wednesday at Madison, be-
fore Judge Stevens in the circuit court
in behalf of the state park board
presented a motion asking for an order
to restrain the American Refactories
Co., corporation from the state of
Illinois, from blasting on eighty acres
of land at DEVILS lake for which the
state park board already has begun
condemnation proceedings. The COM
pany, which was represented by At
torney H. L.. Butler of Madison, was
given until Aug. IL by the court to
prepare it's argument on this motion.
The proposed state park includes
eighty acres of land upon which the
company is operating. This concern
manufactures glazed brick. Pending
the outcome of the condemnation pro-
ceedings the state park board is anx-
ious to put stop to blasting that will
deface the natural conditions and de-
tract from the beauty of the proposed
park.
The papers in this case were filed in
the circuit court of Sauk county, but
the motion for an order to put stop
to the blasting was introduced at Mad
iscn because Judge Stevens happened
to be in Madison, which is in the same
circuit court district as Sauk county.
