TOWN WITH NO TAXES.

In Sweden there is a town namedS
Orson. They have a street railway
system there, but it costs the inhab-
itants nothing to ride, They pay no
taxes. They have free libraries and
free schools. Orson is a very happy
and cOntented community and all be-
cause a generation or two ago the
municipal authorities planted forest
for the benefit of the town. That for
est is intelligently conserved and will
doubtless be earning money when. all
of the present inhabitants are de- I
and gone, and when their grandchii-
dren are no more Conservation is
not new thing except in this coun-
try. No man nor any nation is so
rich that he or it can afford to be
prodigal of wealth. We may not be
able to support this government by
means of national forests, but it is
evident that unless we take some
measures to prevent deforestation, we
are going to be in miserable plight

WAIT FOR THE DIRECTORS.
Legislature Pondering Over Prospects
in Stout Training School.

Madison.-One of the engrossing top
les of conversation among the legislat-
ors is the question whether the state
will be asked to take over the Stout
manual training school, Menomonie's
$225,000 institution, for which the
founder made no provision in his will.
The fact that the late senator has al
ways had to provide more or less to
make up the expense of the school
every year makes it evident that the
directors will have to provide some
manner of appropriation and the leg
islators are waiting for the first move
to come from them.
In an educational way, this school
represents a most remarkable growth
and standing. The institution has
passed beyond the stage of expert
ment and in manual training and do
nestle science the school was and is
known throughout the nation as one
of the very best, if not the best.

SIX PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANIES
OF STATE GIVEN TEN
DAYS NOTICE.
BYRAILROAD COMMISSION
Repeatedly Orders of State Board
Have Been Ignored, Is Charge.
Heavy Fines Are Now
Threatened.

Madison.-The state railroad COM
mission served notice on six public
service corporations, giving them ten
days in which to observe orders issued
by the commission in the past, but up
to the present time ignored.
1t is declared that the offending cor
pOrations, the Mineral Point Gas and
Electric company, the Janeseville Elec-
trio company, the Dodgeville Electric
ton Electric Service company, the
Monticello Granite company and the
Eagle River Light and Water company
have furnished service contrary to law,
and have failed to report their true
cost of operation.
After ten days, if the orders have not
been obeyed, further investigation will
be made and where advisable suits will
be filed. The penalty in case Of con-
viction is fine of from 500 to $1,000.
Each days delay constitutes a separate
offense
Notice also has been given that
should any official of public utilities
owned by cities of the state refuse to
answer questions of the commission
regarding cost of operation of the
plants, he will be prosecuted under the
law that provides a fine and imprison-
ment for refusal to obey the commits
siOn's orders.
Should the power of the commission
be ignored in either Of the cases, the
attorney general will be asked to pro-
coed against them under the law. The
decision of the commission to proceed
against the corporations already
named is but part of well defined
programme to compel all public service
corporations to comply strictly with
the law, it is said

MINERAL POINT CASE.
Judge Lands Takes Up Hearing In
Wisconsin Bank Tange.

Chicago.-Judge Kenesaw NJ. Land
is Of the United States district court
took up the hearing of demurrer
to a suit of G. l.. Williams, receiver
of the First National Bank of Min
eral Point, Wis, to recover $150,000
and the Kennedy Mining Company's
property, the latter of which he
charges was exploited with the money
of the bank. The case is complicat-
ed, the history being in substance as
follows, as alleged in Receiver Will
liam's complaint:
Two days before the bank went in
to the hands of a receiver on October
II, 1909, the mining company, of which
Richard Kennedy, Calvert Spensely,
Phil Allen, Jr., and C. w. McIllhon,
former officers of the bank, were Or
ganizers, deposited $4,000 with the
bank in an effort to prevent its fail
ure When it failed they asked the
return of their deposit, but the re-
ceiver claimed it was not theirs, but
that they had taken the money I'M
lawfully from the bank in the begin
ming to float their company, and that
it should remain as an asset for stock
holders.
The men named sued for recovery of
the sum, Williams filed a cross suit,
and the hearing today was of a de-
murrer to the cross suit.

there is an unconfirmed rumor that
two more men are somewhere in the
workings. The dead are Ed Ryan.

Dan Whyto, Percy Way, Louis Tucker

Pending an investigation, officials OF
the Heating Gold Mining company said
