appeared to accomplish just what Is
claimed for It. Il carried some 800
feet Of Ii inch cable and some 1900
feet of smaller cable, and has a shift
ing of gears that marks a great adj
vancement over other stump pullers.
With either slow or fast speed the
stump is pulled, piled and then the
cable again pulled out, the entire action
occupying but few moments and all
by the throwing of few levers. The
clutches, working on swivels, prevent
any twisting of the cable. The break
yesterday was IN a casting on the drum,
caused by the great pressure against
the outer rim as the cable was wound
in. Instead of iron being used it will
now be made of steel. The demonstra-
ton, as stated before, was sufficient
to determine the success of the inven-
ton. A duplicate drum may be sent
today by the Phoenix company to Gil

brought back to Eau Claire at this
time. 1t is destined for work in the

neighborhood of $4,000 each, and land
can be cleared at cost of about SIS

A South Dakota farmer claims to
have discovered worm that is a vora-
cious feeder on weeds but does not
touch cultivated plants. Inasmuch as
cultivated plants are very scarce in
South Dakota this year, it may be a
matter of necessity and not of choice
that regulates the worms diet. How
ever interesting and valuable such a
worm may be in Dakota, we haven't
much use for it here. If, through
neglect, weeds creep into a field, a
crop of clover will eradicate them, in
vigorate the soil, and leave rich
green carpet instead of a nest of Shiny
worms.

| GOVERNMENT
| PRINTING

Whenever it is proposed that the
government should own the railways,
the scheme is denounced as socialistic,
and we are told by the wise heads that
it is improper for the government to
engage in business. Yet Uncle Sam
has a manufacturing plant at Washing
ton which employs 1900 men at SAL
aries totalling So, 500, 900 annually, en-
gagged in a business which is not a
monopoly, as the railway business is,
and which is not controlled by any
trust. We refer to the government
printing plant, which prints the gov
eminent publications, also dipping into
private work by printing return adj
dresses on envelopes.
Can any of the wise ones tell why
the government engages in the print
ing business, which is certainly pri-
vate business if there is any such
thing? 1t may be answered that the
government has great deal of print
ing to be done, and therefore should do
it on it's own account. 1t also buys
great quantities of steel for battle

Col. John Jacob Astor, age 46, re-
Gently divorced, desires to marry Miss
Madeline Force, age about 20. The
divorce decree prohibited Astor from
marrying in the state of New York
and the Episcopal church, to which the
parties profess allegiance, looks with
disfavor on divorces remarrying, es-
pecially the guilty parties. If Astor
were an ordinary dub he would be re-
fused the privilege of marrying in the
Episcopalian church and the matter
would be ended, but man with in
herited millions at his command merits
peculiar consideration. A number OF
leading ministers have expressed the
opinion that Astor should be governed
by the rules applied to common men, bat
others hold that the supreme courts rule
of "reasonableness" applies, and that
Astor is entitled to have as many
wives, divorced, present and prospect
i've, as his millions will support. In
cidentally, his contributions to the
church are material and helpful. 1t is
an interesting if not instructive dis
cussion.

THE LAWS
OF THE ROAD

lf1E LAWS
OF THE ROAD
When meeting an automobile one is
expected to give one-half of the road.
If the horses are afraid it is the duty
of the driver of the auto to stop his
machine and render aid Gf necessary
to the driver of the horses.
When meeting on the highway one
must turn out to the right. When an
automobile approaches from the rear
and blows horn, it is signal that
such machine is approaching and de-
slres to pass. In passing, the auto
must turn out to the left, at the same
time the team vehicle must turn to the
right thus giving the automobile half
the road. If the condition of the high
way is such that team cannot turn to
the right without danger of tipping
over, then it may proceed in the beaten
track until place is reached where
such turn can be made in safety.
To willingly hold to the center of
the highway and thus prevent the auto
or vehicle from passing, is to obstruct
the highway, which is against the law.
The public road is for the use of all
who desire to travel upon it and no one
has better right upon it than another,
nor can any one refuse to allow another
to pass if such other person desires to
travel faster.
Farmers should remember that when
meeting al auto they must turn to the
right, but when the auto approaches
from the rear, it must pass on the left,
the team turning to the right as much
as is necessary in order to allow the
auto to pass in safety.
A light or lights must be displayed
in the front and rear of the automobile
after dark. The rear light must show
red color when approaching it.
The speed limit for automobiles in
the country is rs miles per hour.
The highway is for public travel and
chickens, dogs, other live stock, ma
chinery, ETC., have no right in it. The
place for such is within the bounds of
the farm adjoining Wisconsin Agri-
culturist.

THE NEW STUMP
MACHINE TESTED


The M. D. Meek stump puller, the
80 ton machine manufactured bv the
Phoenix Manufacturing company of
Eau Claire, has been demonstrating it's
merits on cut-over land of the North
western Lumber company about one
mile from Gilman in Taylor county for
the past two days. The machine was
taken by railroad to the desired loca.
ton, and was unloaded and put in place
by its own power. Some eight or ten
men were employed under the direction
of Mr.. Meek and on part of Tuesday
and up to 2 o'clock on Wednesday great
work was done. Many huge stumps
were pulled out about as easily as a
man would pull up potato plants.
Then the unlookedfor happened and
for the time being the machine, the
latest thing in steam stump pullers,
was put out of commission. 1t was the
breaking of part of the large drum
on which is wound the inch and a
quarter steel cable.
Before the accident Superintendent
Killsen, of the 500 line, and others had
enjoyed the most successful demon
stration yet obtained by any stump
puller. The Meek invention is a step
forward on all others and the machine

A QUESTION ON
THE BANK CASE

The Journals fiat denial of the sta
tutes of limitation having run on any
act of the defendants in the recent
bank case recalls to mind some pecul-
lar circumstances, which can undoubt-
edly be explained by the luminary of
which the Journal appears to be a
steady going and obedient little satel-
lite. AS we stated last week, we
never charged that the statutes of
limitation had run against the acts of
these defendants, but since the matter
is up, and the Journal has promised to
give full light on it, we submit that
the public would be interested in an
explanation of this little circumstance.
Public assertions, undenied so far as
we know, have been made as follows:
That L. E. McGill was vice-president
of the bank for some time before it's
doors were closed; that during that
same time he was president of the
Ladysmith Electric Light Company;
that the lighting company had borrow
ed of the bank large sum, stated at
S., 500, of which only about 40 per cent
was paid to the receiver; that the
lighting company owned the land
where the Port Arthur dam is built and
franchise for a dam; that either just
before or just after the closing of the
bank this land and franchise were sold
to M. H. Ballou of the Menasha Paper
Company for $500, seemingly an insig-
nifcant price for a valuable franchise;
that of that sum, G. E. Newman got
$3.50 for negotiating the deal and McGilI
got $3.50 for his services as attorney.
If these alleged facts are true, it
appears that property of the lighting
company was disposed of, from which
neither the company nor it's creditors, a.
mong which was the bank, got anything.
Some people have thought that this
act was fraudulent and punishable
under the national banking laws, or
possibly under Section 4437 Wiscon-
sin Statutes.
In the course of it's famous lime
light act, the Journal should furnish us
the facts relative to this DEAL If any
of the ALLEGATIONS are untrue, they
should be pointed out. If the allega-
tions are true, can they be explained
consistently with innocence of fraud g?
A satisfactory explanation will clear
up one of the puzzling and apparently
dark features of the bank case

George w. Perkins, a corporation
magnate, says that investigators in
stead of hunting for the evils commit
ted by trusts should make prominent
the good things they do in the way of
steadying prices, etc. The bunch
might be applied in other lines as
well. Instead of denouncing the horse
thief as altogether bad, we should
give him credit for benefcially affect
ing the horse market by increasing the
demand. Let's look on the bright side
of things. The inventor of trusts,
Parsons, has told US that all wrongs
will right themselves if left alone, so
why not abolish legislators, courts and
policemen?
