Especial Dispatch to The Call
EUREKA, Aug. 11-That the South
ern Pacific company is planning to con-
struct a railroad from some point in
the Sacramento valley to Humboldt bay
is evident from the fact that agents
of the railroad company, acting as rep
resentatives for the Central Pacific
railroad company, have filed appIica-
tions in the local land office for rights
of way through the Trinity national
forest 1t is said that a similar ap-
plication is shortly to be made in the
Redding land office.
It is understood that the action just
taken has been brought about by the
activities of the promoters of the Hum
boldt and Eastern railroad, which, as
projected, will connect Redding with
Eureka and will pierce the Trinity
forest reserve.
The promoters of the road have asked
the government to sell 5000, 600, 900
feet of matured timber along the right
of way, but thus far favorable action
has not been taken. 1t is understood
that the forestry officials have offered
to sell ooO.oOo,o0o feet. but the offer
has not proved acceptable TO the pro-
moters of the east and west road
Southern Pacific surveyors have been
at work in the Trinity forest reserve
for several weeks and it has been gen.
orally known that the company was
looking forward to active work in that
territory.
The application for rights of way just
made indicates that the work of the
surveyors is TO be followed by the
work of the constructing engineers

Progressives Scored

Without raising any issue concerning
the 'progressives' campaign gener-
ally. AIdrich referred to Bristow and
his immediate associates as follows:
In the tariff discussions of other
days the advocates of the progressive
policy usually have been called to NEST
in debate men with convictions on the
subject-democrats of character. whose
theories of government differed COM
pietely from those held by republican
protectionists-men who had some re-
gard for the accuracy of their state
ments and some knowledge of the sub
jeet they discussed
Now attacks upon republican meas
ures are lead by men whose political
and to this there seems TO be no limit
for Misrepresentation and the ignor-
ance of their adherents. Strangely
enough. this little group of men-very
small in number-has arrogated to
itself the leadership of the progressives.
and it's members prate about the treat
ment of the tariff as a moral question"

Plat of Route Filed
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


RENO. New, Aug. 11.-An action that
leaves hardly a doubt that the Central
Pacific will soon begin actual construc-
tion work on line from F'ernley up
Oregon was made public today when
the plan of the proposed route was
filed with the county recorder by Will
liam F. Herrin, chief counsel for the
Southern Pacific company.
1t shows in detail the route proposed,
surveyed from Fernley, near Wads-
worth, to the California Nevada state
line.
According to the map. the line be-
gins at Fernley, crosses the old Central
Pacific railroad bridge and through the
site of the old shops at Wadsworth.
Then it goes down the Truckee on the
west side of Pyramid lake, over Astor
pass into the Honey lake country
The filing of the map was made
necessary by law which requires all
roads proposing to build across state
boundaries to file plats with the county
recorder of the county and also with
the secretary of state.
No official action on the plat will be
necessary, and it is believed that work
will commence without delay. The
Fernley branch will complete the long
proposed connection between Oregon
and the main line, and it is thought
that it will be followed by rapid de-
velopment to the south with Los Ange-
les as an objective point.

that he will have the next legislature

END OF THE ILLINOIS STRIKE
Coal Mine Operators and Miners
Reach an Agreement.

Coal Mine Operators and Miners
Reach an Agreement.
Chicago. = AS a result of an agree
ment reached between mine work
ers' officials and representatives
of the Illinois Coal Operators asso-
their tools and resume work at once,
thus ending the strike which has
been prolonged for five months.
Practically every demand of the men
has been granted. A contract extend
ing up to April I, 1912, was signed to-
day.
The average increase to the miners
in wages will amount to eight cents
per ton, or an aggregate of $4,000, 900
annually. The installation of safety
appliances and general betterments
which the operators agree to give the
men will increase the cost of putting
coal on the market nearly II cents
per ton.
Of the $4,000 miners who quit work
April 1 more than $4,000 already have
signed up and resumed work. The bal
ance will begin active work so soon as
the mines can be pumped out and put
into condition for operation. 1t is
thought that by the middle of next
week every mine in the state will be in
full operation. Several are in condition
to start mining today.
1t is estimated that the strike has
caused shortage of at least 100000
tons; a loss in wages amounting to
s15,000,000, and net loss to the OPP
orators of nearly $10,000,000.

guest the former president was at a
reception rendered him
The announcement, which was made
10 the reception committee of the club
which met Colonel Roosevelt in Free
port, Ill, and brought him to the city,
caused a sensation in political circles.
While club members are reticent in
discussing the action of the committee
in withdrawing the invitation to Sena-
tor Lorimer, it is said that large
number feel that Colonel Roosevelt's
demand that one of the clubs mem
bers be instructed not to appear at
the banquet should have been refused.
The .coloneI's demand for the ex-
clusion of Senator Lorimer was made
to John H. Batten, president of the
club, and it was not until he had been
shown a telegram, which was sent to
the junior senator, withdrawing the
invitation, would Mr.. Roosevelt con-
sent to come to Chicago.
On the arrival of the Hamilton club
committee, Colonel Roosevelt immedi-
ately asked to know who was to be

dent.

Dr. Henry Smith Williams main
4ains in his new book, The Science of
Happiness" that outdoor games have,
besides the stimulating effect of men
val refreshment that every one knows
about, a direct influence upon mind

person who undertakes to develop his
muscles by entering into athletic
games gets pleasure as well as
benefit from his exercise. And the
pleasure adds directly to the benefit,
for pleasure in itself has positive dis
aase-dispelling power. Not only will
his muscles be trained, but his eye and
brain. He will learn the value of

hardly learn it elsewhere. He will be
taught self-reliance. even while his

Find Mounds Near Darlington.

In company with Prof. w. E. Leon
ard and Prof. H. B. Lathrop of the
state university, Secretary G. E.
society recently made a trip down the
picturesque Pecatonia river valley in
La Fayette county. During this trip
heretofore unrecorded groups of In
dian earthworks were located in the
vicinity of Darlington and at several
other points along the stream. The
effigies observed all proved to be of
the bear type, widely distributed
form of Wisconsin animal shaped
earthwork. Linear mounds of good
size were also found to occur in that
region All were on hillsides and hill
tops.
Relic hunters are as reckless and
destructive in this region as anywhere
in Wisconsin. Almost every mound
visited showed traces of their greedy
and improbable digging for spoils.
Many fine works have been hopelessly
ruined by their unskilled operations.
Such persons richly deserve punish
ment Owners of interesting Indian
monuments should take every precau-
ton to prevent such depredations. 1t
is quite a common but erroneous be-
lief of the farmers in this region that
the linear mounds represent breast
works erected by the Sank Indians
during the period of the Black Hawk
war. None is of such elevation or so
disposed that it would be of any serY-
ice as defenses.

Dairy Cows Enter Wisconsin contes

Dairy Cows Enter Wisconsin Contest.
The entries in the Wisconsin dairy
COW competition have now reached
the three hundred mark. Owing TO
the very unfayorable pasture condi,
lions this season, few of the breed
ers withdrew one or more of their
COWS from the competition last month,
and the production of all the cows was
greatly reduced, both on account of
the severe drought that farmers have
Just passed through and because OF
the present advance of the lactation
period Of many of the cows in the
competition.
The average production of 256 cows
whose records were received for the
full month of July, was 941.9 pounds
milk and 36.706 pounds fat; SO cows
produced more than so pounds of but
ter fat during the month. The largest
production was that of the Holstein
COW, Johanna Pauline Paul, 9552S,
owned by H. F. Schroeder of West
Bend, which was 2,0954 pounds milk,
1854 pounds solids and 70.405 pounds
butter fat average solids 11.76 per
cent, fat 3.36 per cent?. As a three.
year-old she is entitled to an IS per
cent. handicap uu1er the rules of the

ton of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "a Million for Tuber-

campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-

Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and P, evention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales. The charge to local associa-

Stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 1914 per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-

mated as Red Cross Seals" this year

MANY EXHIBITS
At STATE FAIR
Temporary Housing Arrange
ments Made.
ADDS TO POULTRY BUILDING
Cattle Breeders to Ask the LEGISLATURE
TO Authorize Another Building
Large Display OF Machinery
Assured.

Madison.-No state fair ever held in
Wisconsin has opened its gates with
such an overflow of exhibits as the
1910 state fair will.
There is scarcely a building on the
grounds capable Of holding all of the
exhibits entered, and in several in
stances additions will be necessary,
and temporary housing arrangements
will have to be provided to take care
of the cattle and manufactured exhib-
its. A temporary addition to the poul
try building will be completed in time
for the opening.
Another cattle building is required
for the needs of the cattle breeders,
and movement is taking form that
will result in the cattle breeders as
sociations of the state asking the next
legislature to appropriate funds to
build another cattle exposition build
ing of size similar to the present
monster cattle shed, so that one of the
buildings may be used for the exhibit
the other one be turned over to the
breeders and exhibitors of beef cattle.
There will be nearly 600 head of cattle
to be cared for.
In the departments of smaller live
stock, sheep, swine and Angora goats,
the same crowded conditions will pre-
vail at this years fair The growth of
exhibits in the sheep, swine and An
CORA goat classes has been phenomenal
and the pens will afford but little COM
fort for the animals during their stay
on the grounds. The erection of a
swine judging pavilion during the sum-
mer has greatly added to the convent
ence of interested farmers in this
years swine show, and nearly 100 head
of swine can be on exhibition in the
judging pavilion at a time, and seats
are provided for nearly 1000 persons.
