Every city in the state having a
street car line will be interested in
two suits that are now being argued
before the railroad rate commission
One is that in which the Green Bay
Traction Co., asks to be permitted
to dispense with the sale Of tickets
at the rate of 6 for 25c and the com
mission has already heard the argu-
ments. The desire of the Traction
Co. officials in this case to cut out
selling the tickets was prompted be-
cause the citizens of DePere forced
them to offer tickets for sale on the
cars, whereas the company had only
sold tickets in it's down town office.
The company maintains that it is en-
titled to cash from patrons, claiming
no dividend has ever been declared
and that the demands for cash for
improvements have aggregated a
great sum in the past year or two.
The other case is the reverse of the
one just cited, being the petition of
Lester c. Manson, special counsel for
the City of Milwaukee commonly
known as the Three Cent Fare case.
In its brief the city contends that
the Street Railway Co, can sell
tickets instead of for city rides
for 25c and 4 tickets to Wauwatosa,
Whitefish Bay and North Milwaukee
for 25c instead of 30 as now charged.
This proceeding was brought by John
G. Kelly, as city attorney, and was
tried in and the preparation of the
brief commenced during his admins
tration by Mr. Manson, who was
then assistant city attorney. Mr.
Manson was engaged by the Common
Council when the SeideI admintstra-
ton took office to continue in the
prosecution of the case to final judg-
ment. The brief covers the financial
transactions of the company from the
time the old horse car lines were
bought up, consolidated and trans
ferred into the present system. De
cisions given in both of these cases
will have a bearing on conditions in
every city and the finding, which will
doubtless be delayed several months,
will be awaited with interest every
where.

Strange SIGHT of Ants.

it was proved long ago that ants
have the power of seeing the-to hu
man beings-invisible rays Of the III
tra-violet portion of the spectrum
They fear the light for their larvae
and when allowed choice between diff
ferent degrees of light always carry
them to the darkest place accessible
When given the choice between q
compartment lighted with yellow light
and one dark to human eyes, but un-
der the actinic ray, the ants unhesi
tatingly choose the yellow light, show
Ing that to their eyes it is darker thar
the other, to man invisible.

MERRILL ACCOUNT OF
FOOT BALL GAME

What was to have been the decid-
ing foot ball game for the upper val
ley championship was played at Crane
Rapids last Saturday, when, out
weighed and out rooted the Merrill
squad held their old rivals to a tie
score. The game was by Ear the
most stubbornly fought contest of
the season in this valley.
For fifty minutes the two teams
played hard, fast and at times desper
ately to score. Before the game go
to O" was the Rapids slogan. Dur
ing the first half the cry was 1--WE
must beat Merrill" The second half
holden, holden" was the wall that
went up from the Rapids rooters.
Neither team was nearer than twenty
yards of a touchdown.
Both teams tried drop-kicks, but to
no avail Grand Rapids was within
kicking distance twice, but one kick
was blocked while the other hit the
goal post. Three times Merrill at
tempted to drop-kick a victory, but
each time the kick was blocked.
Neither team used tho forward pass
to advantage but relied mostly on
the old game.
Each individual on the Merrill teal
played before this season, Whitman
in the mining danartmanf aaSi1v ont
kicked Smith. Wittman's defensive
work made it almost impossible for
the Rapids to pull off successful
forward pass. Tracy doomed up strong
on defensive and was high factor i,
the forming Of interference. Captain
Tracy and Whitman kept the team on
their nettle throughout the entire
gruelling affair.

everyone seemed we'll pleased to have
athletic relations resumed between
