SIGNAL TOWER FOR RANGERS
Wisconsin First of Western States
to Adopt This Means of Prevent
ing Spread of Forest Fires.

MadisOn.-Wisconsi will be the
hrst of western states to use signal
towers as an aid to prevention of
forest fires. States Forester E. M.
Griffiths, upon his return from a trip
to northern Wisconsin, made known
plans for the immediate erection of
six steel towers, similar to windmills,
at as many high points of land in
the state forest reserves in Villas and
adjoining counties.
A platform at the top of the tow
ers will be enclosed with string of
wires stretched at right angles to
form squares, each wire to be num-
bered. During dry periods forest
rangers will be stationed in the tow
ers to search the landscape for twen-
ty miles around for smoke from for
est fires. When smoke is discovered,
the watcher will denote it's position
with respect to the crossing of two
of the wires in his lookout, and a
map at hand will tell him in a mo-
ment the corresponding position of
the smoke as to town and range num-
bers. A telephone will be installed
in the tower, and the watcher will
be enabled to call up his associate
rangers nearest to the fire, who will
take steps to eXtinguish the fire

tween Companies Ordered.

La Crosse.-Compliance with the
new state law requiring physical con-
nection is to be put up to telephone
companies of Wisconsin Immediately.
petition is being prepared asking
the state railroad rate commission to
require that the Wisconsin Telephone
company connect with the toll line
exchange of the independent COM
panies in this county and also to re-
auire the independent toll lines to
connect with the Wisconsin COM
pany's exchanges. The commission,
under the new law, is authorized to
order physical connection and ap-
praise the rates.
the situation is particularly i'm
portant here, because there has been
an extensive development locally and
on toll lines of the two opposing sys-
TENS owned respectively by the Wis
consln Telephone company and the
Ia Crosse Telephone company. Both
companies cover all western Wiscon-
SIN and extend a great distance to
the west, but the La Crosse company
is unable to reach Milwaukee, Madi-
son or Chicago and it is to force this
connection SO that the subscribers of
the La Crosse company may have the
advantage of the Bell lines that the
action is taken.
The commission will be asked to
act promptly to relieve the local sit
uation

PLAN WATER POWER FIGHT
Wisconsin Manufacturers to Formu-
late Plans for War on Law Civ
ing Control to State.

Neenah.-At the meeting of man
ufacturers here it is expected that
plans for fighting the law giving the
state control of water powers will be
formulated.
1t was announced after the mea-
sure became law that its constitu-
tlonality would be determined in the
courts. The test will be made at once
and former State Senator Theodore
Brazeau of Grand Rapids, attorney
for the manufacturers, has been MAX
Ing preparations for the suit.
1t may be suit restraining the
payments of any money under the
law on the ground that the law is
unconstitutional. And it may be that
the payment of any license fee will
be resisted.
In this case three actions will prob
ably be brought, one testing the law
as regards so-called navigable
streams, on which boats may be run.
second as regards streams which are
called navigable because logs can be
hoated on them, and the third af
fecting the rights now admitted as
non navigable.

Waupun.-Henry Town rendered
his resignation as warden of the state
prison to the state board of control
at its session here and the same was
accepted. A successor has not yet
been named.
Warden Town denies that formal
charges of any nature had been pre-
rerred against him or that any sucr
charges had precipitated his resigna-
ton. He made no explanation OF
his action.
Despite denials by members Of
the board, conditions at Waupun,

some time past. Warden Towns
resignation clears the atmosphere
and probably will obviate further ac-
ton.
Persons close to prison affairs say
that practically all the guards were
united in criticizing the warden. and
that except for his resignation,
charges would have been pressed.

STRANG KILLED On

Richland Center.-Lewis Strang,
well known automobile racing driv-
er, was instantly killed at Blue
River, about twenty miles from here,
while plotting the machine of the
technical committee on the second
annual reliability run of the Wiscon-
sin State Automobile association.
His car, which was going at a
snail's pace, was wrecked by being
thrown over an embankment when
the road gave way, the highway be-
Ing unable to bear the weight of the

turtle, crushing the life out of the
unfortunate driver when it fell upon
him.
j. w. Tufts of Milwaukee, Lester

gersberger, Strang's mechanician, es-
capped injury by jumping from the
car, but the young racer was crushed
under the footboard
Strang broke an arm about the
middle of June during a race on a
Sunday in Kenosha, and is said not
to have been strong enough to have
attempted the wearisome grind of
the state tour.
Strang was 26 years old, and was
known as one of the most daring
drivers. He has been connected with
the Case company of Racine for a
number of years, being the manager
Of the Case team. He first drove at

hard rider, a daring player at cards,
quick shot, scorner of danger, and
a bad man to fool with-that was the
whole of record hardly won. The
mans eyes hardened, his lips set firm

A pretty life story surely, one to be
proud of, and with probably no better
ending than an Indian bullet, or the
flash of revolver in some barroom
