RIVER BILL VETO?
RUMOR ARISES, FOLLOWING SEN
SATIONAL ATTACK BY
BURTON.
RIYERTRAYFL~ ANTICIPATED
ohio Senator Attacks Improvement
system.-says Country Has Gone
Wild Over Construction Of Locks
and Dams.

Washington. ID. c. The sugges-
ton of a possibility that President
Taft may veto the river and harbor
bill caused some uneasiness among
members of both houses Of congress.
This rumor was circulated immediate
ly after a serious attack made upon
the river and harbor bill by Senator
Burton of Ohio. 1t is assumed that if
President Taft has any idea that the
river and harbor bill should not be-
come a law, il is due to the charges
made by Senator Burton that the gen.
eral total of the measure is extrava-
CANT, and that in some respects the APP
preparations for a number of the har-
bors and, rivers would be wasteful If
applied according to the terms Of the
measure. More than this, the idea
became prevalent that President Taft
regards the bill as carrying too much
money, considering the present state
of the public finances.
Mr.. Burton declared hat the coun-
try had gone wild over the construc-
ton of locks and dams. He instanced
improvements of this character. con-
tending hat Notwithstanding millions
had been expended there had been a
falling off in tonnage. All this meant,
he said, that hat sort of transporta-
ton is going out of existence.
Much Spent on Ohio.
AS the senator progressed he
aroused more or less opposition and
was engaged in controversy by Sen
ators Page, Lorimer, Gallinger, Bailey,
and others. In reply to Mr.. Gallinger,
the Ohio senator admitted that be-
tween $40, 900, 900 aud $3O,O 900 had
been expended on the development of
navigation on the Ohio since he (Mr.
Burton) had become chairman of the
house committee on rivers and har-
bors.
Speaking OF the possibilities Of a
deep waterway from Chicago to the
gulf of Mexico, Mr.. Burton ridiculed

RUSK COUNTY SUPT. SPEAKS
w. N. Mackin Delivers an Address at
Superior Normal School

Supt W. N. Mackin of Rusk county
spoke to the Normal students at the
summer school this afternoon on the
subject of Professional Improvement. .
Congratulating the students upon their
excellent opportunities for advance
ment, Mr. Mackin treated the subject
from several viewpoints, speaking of
health, knowledge ard skill as the es-
sentials of success. The modern ven
tilating plants in almost every rural
school have made them more sanitary
than many village and city schools, and
in arousing enthusiasm for proper
working of these plants, the speaker
told the value of pure air and of the
neglect he has seen where teachers
close up foul air flues and bring dis
ease upon themselves and their pupils.
Some tried and approved lesson plans
were given especially to help young
teachers improve in their profession.
The teachers were asked for whole
hearted devotion to their profession,
though forced to study careful economy
in spending money while not being paid
as much as they earn. The best SER
vice, the speaker said, is due to the
children, and their welfare is the teach
er's greatest reward.
Rusk county is well represented at
|
mer school or institute in that county,
the superintendent took the opportu-
nifty to direct the teachers in some of
the work which he plans to carry for
ward during the year. Superior Tele-
gram.

WELCOME RAINS FALL
LONG DROUGHT BROKEN BY A
COPIOUs DOWNPOUR
$4,000, 900 TIMBER LOSS BY FIRE
Two Farmers Reported Burned Out
at Glen Flora Last Week
Have Narrow Escape

This section of the country, which
was beginning to suffer greatly from
the prolonged drouth, was blessed by
heavy rains Saturday morning and Sun
day afternoon, and steady rain all
night Monday night. The surface of
the ground is pretty we'll saturated and
vegetation has taken on new life Con-
tinued rains from now on it is believed
will produce good crop of hay. Grain
crops are not believed to be injured as
badly as reported The forest fires
have been extinguished and the atmos-
phere cleared of the disagreeable smoke
We are glad to state that the News
Budget was misinformed as to two
farmers having their homes burned
near Glen Flora last week. Messrs.
Fuss and Nelson, however, had very
close calls, the fire in one instance
coming up to within few feet of the
house
A survey of districts in northern
Wisconsin which have suffered through
forest fires brings the estimate of the
total damage of the last three weeks to
more than So, 900, 900 divided as follows:
Pineries north of Eau Claire and
Chippewa Falls, $1,000, 900; Wisconsin
Central, 5000, 900; companies operating
from Marinette, in northern Wisconsin,
Wausau and Rhinelander, 81, 500, 900;
Washburn and territory north of Ash
land and toward Superior, $500, 900.
So far as is definitely known there
was no loss of life.
The fires have swept through much
standing timber, scattered pine and
hardwood.
The burned area extends about fifty
miles north of Prentice and is about
forty miles wide between Stanley and
Thorpe. The heaviest losers are lum-
er and logging companies.
Twenty-Five villages in the burned
district narrowly escaped destruction.
The homes of more than 300 families
were burned last week. AS the result
of the destruction of personal belong
ings and sources of food supply the
suffering is intense. Much felled tim
ber was destroyed.

While perhaps not strong in respect
to the fine technical points of the game,
last Sundays base ball contest with
Glen Flora gave Ladysmith rooters
ample opportunity to develop chest
expansion, which opportunity was well
utilized.
Glen Flora found no difficulty in land
ing on the horsehide, but it either went
sailing up into the cerulean blue, to be
gobbIed by a greedy outfielder, or am
bled through the grass to the welcom-
ing hand of an infielder, who, recogniz-
ing good thing, passed it to first.
Only one safe hit was made by the Wis
itors.
Our boys played good ball, and if the
Glen Flora pitchers had been in usual
form the game would probably have
been close.

Sunday evening "Comrade" McCaleb

more than 100 in the endeavor to show
what Socialism Means in Wisconsin
and in Rusk County" 1t was a pretty
big subject and the organizer is no
orator, however he satisfied his hearers,
if they did not know it already, that
everything is not as it should be in the
industrial world, and offered Socialism
as panacea.
After the meeting five more were
added to the charter membership of the
Ladysmith Local. 1t was proposed to
nominate full county, legislative and
gressiOnal ticket, and w. H. Cleveland
was nominated for congressman and
lohn Lindoo for assemblyman. The

state platforms favoring "direct legis-

al planks: eve demand equal taxation
for all, that the poor mans home or
farm may not be unjustly burdened
We demand the divorsement of the
lawyers from politics. -
The next meeting will be held at
Eagle Hall Saturday night A Local is
being organized at Weyerhauser. A
Local with six members was maintained
