PUT WATERPOWER
VALUE At 500 H. P.
STATE TAX COMMISSION SUSs
TAlNS RAISING OF ASSESS
MENTS ON FOX RIVER.
FORMERLY PLACED AT $50
Decision Has important Bearing on
Waterpower Assessment Through
out Wisconsin and involves Mill
ions of Dollars in Property.

Appleton.-The value Of water
power horsepower on the Fox river,
despite its varying utility, is at least
500, according to the state tax COM
mission, which body has sustained
the findings of county supervisors IN
increasing the assessed valuation OF
waterpower from $50 to 500 per
horsepower.
The hearing occupied four days
and practically every manufacturer
and power owner on the Fox river
appeared as witness.
The testimony of Capt. John NJ
Baer, representing the Green Bay
and Mississippi Canal company,
which owns Is per cent of the power
on the river, and that of John
Strange of Neenah, is said to have
caused the tax commission to sus-
tain the findings of Supervisor Flan-
agan and the county board.
Millowners for some tine past
have not been getting drop OF
water for power, the river beng
nearly dry. Some of the, paper ana
pulp mills have been shut down
awaiting rain.
The tax commissions decision will
have an important bearing on water
power assessments throughout Wis
consin and involves millions OF dol
lars worth of property.

CLEANER FRUITS DEMANDED
Commissioner Emery viii Enforce
New Law Prohibiting Open Dis
play of Food Products.

Madison.-Dairy and Food Com
missioner Emery reports that fire.
ouent prosecutions are being brought
against parties who persist in vlolat-
ing the sanitary laws governing the
manufacture and sale of dairy and
food products. The 1911 legislature
enacted new law placing greater re-
strictions around the display of such
goods in the interest of the public
health
One section prohibits the display
or storing of fruits, vegetables, or
other food products on the sidewalk,
or outside the place of business, I'M
less such fruits, vegetables, or other
food products are securely covered
by glass, wood or metal cases, or
enclosed in tight boxes, bags or bar
rels, and all such cases and contain
ers raised at least two feet above
the sidewalk
Another section provides that no
dairy or other food product which
be displayed or offered for sale I'M
less properly protected from flies,
dust, dirt or other injurious contain
nation, ''by being suitably covered
with a glass, wood or metal case Or
covering"
The new law makes the duty of the
local health officers co-ordinately
with the dairy and food commissioner
and his assistants and inspectors, to
enforce the act. The fine for viola
ton is $40 to SIS, or Imprisonment
for sixty days.

SERVICE FOR MUTES
Texas Church Whose Members
Are All Deaf.
Crying Babies or Late Corners Do Not
Disturb This Congrea ation-com
municants are Of All Creeds
and FoIloWings.

Fort Worth, Texas.-Sermons with
never spoken word, congregational
singing without an audible note OF
melody, public prayers in which there
Is no souud. Sunday school teachers
whose lips are iRarticulate. All these
are incidentals of the Sunday services
of Fort Worth church.
The pastor is not disturbed by cry
ing babies, and the late corners do
not take the trouble to tip-toe, but let
their heels fall noisily on the uncar-
peted floor. The belfry that tops the
building is purely ornamental, for no
member of this unique congregation
could hear any bell invented.
No church in the United States is
like it. 1t is the only church in the
whole country whose congregation is
composed wholly of deaf mutes.
The sixty or more deaf mutes living
in Fort Worth organized the congrega-
ton, called the First Evangelical
church for the deaf, in 1907. The real
founder is the Rev. ]. w. Mfchaels OF
Louisville, KY, who is still the pas
tor, although he can make only four
visits year to his voiceless flock.
The building, neat and substantial
structure, was built solely by deaf
mutes The pulpit was carved by the
Sunday school superintendent, G. w.
Sheppard, who is skilled woodwork
man.
There is no church debt. None Of
the members is wealthy, and the con-
gregation has had hard struggle.
But it has won because the members
are very proud of having the only deaf
mute church in the United States and
are correspondence loyal.
The church is INSTRUMENTATION
Creeds are sunk in the common in
trinity In the roster of 40 members,
a half-dozen denominations are repre-
sented The pastor is a Baptist, but

FINISH NEW PRISON WALLS
ConV'cts Have Practically Completed
Solid Concrete Barrier Which
Makes Escape Impossible.

Waupun.-The new reinforced con-
crete walls about the Waupun state
prison have been practically complet-
ed. For several months a crew of
prisoners has been at work building
up the Notifications intended to bar
them from the outside world.
And when finished they will pre-
sent barrier unequaled by any pris-
on walls in the country, if not in the
world. Twentyfour feet high, the
walls of solid concrete rest on a solid
bed of rock that extends down hum
dreds of feet beneath the surface of
the ground. The entire site, in fact
almost the entire region, is underlaid
with limestone, and using this for a
base for the new walls, the prison
authorities have planned barrier
that def1es almost any attempt to es-
cape
The limestone bed lies only from
three to eight feet beneath the sur
face of the ground. The old walls
were built from stone quarried from
the beds on the prison farm, and are
themselves buIIt upon the bed rock
for a base
But they are not as impregnable
as are the new concrete barriers
which are now nearing completion
TWenty-four feet above the ground,
they are as smooth as concrete can
be made, presenting no foothold, no
creVice by which prisoner can work
his way to the top and liberty
Downward they extend to the bed
rock, where the cement has been
welded into mother earth until it
has become part Of the natural fort
ress below, defying all attempts to
excayate or tunnel under.
The base of the wall is a full six
feet through, solid concrete, which
will become harder and harder as
the years go by.

Battling the Mosquitoes.
