MUST HAVE CITY sEALERs
New Weights and Measures Law Re.
qulres Official in Every City Of
5000 Population or Over.

Madison.-Steps for the enforce
ment of the states new weights and
measures law, which revolutionizes
the mode by which dealers portion
out their commodities, are being
taken daily, and the law is being
printed in pamphlet form and will
be supplied to dealers and others in
terested. Hereafter the use of un-
sealed weights and measures, except
where notice of new devices has been
given the superintendent after the last
visit of the inspector, will make the
offender liable to fine or imprison-
ment
Every city over 5000 must have a
city sealer. Frank E. Doty, secre-
tary of the civil service commission,
will receive applications of candi-
dates for appointment as city sealer.
His appointment will be made from
the eligible list by the mayor, and
the council will determine his salary
He is prohibited from exacting any
fees. He must be provided with an
office and set OF working stand rds,
In cities Of the first, second and third
classes it is expected he shall devote
all his time to the work, for the law
requires him to inspect and seal all
weights, measures, devices of every
kind in use in the city at least once
a year, as well as to maintain espion-
age on dealers to see that they are
giving correct weights on scales that
have been sealed.
1t is his duty also to see that all
peddlers give correct weight, to
watch the ice man and the coal man
to demand that the milk man sell
from full-measure on bottles, and to
make arrests when weights and meas
ures are inaccurate.

COMMITTEES FROM WISCONSIN

At JOINT CONFERENCE.

Wisconsin Claims Boundary Should
Follow Main Channels of Lake
Pspin and St. Louis River-Midway
Between Shores. Says Minnesota.

Superior. Differences which
arose in the joint conference OF the
boundary committees of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, here, and precluded
the possibility of reaching an agree
ment on the st. Louis river dispute
at this time, led to the settlement
by the two committees upon Dec. 6
as the date for the next joint con-
ference.
That the boundary line should fol-
low the center of the main channel,
as indicated by the government maps,
is advocated by the Wisconsin COM
mission. Similarly the Minnesota
commission maintains that the
boundary in the st. Louis river, as
in Lake Pepin, should be midway be-
tween the two shores of the river and
bay.
The attorney generals of both
states will submit briefs on this
question, showing the general trend
of decisions on similar disputes.

PROBE MAY COVER PRIMARY
Senator Hepburn, Chairman of Steph-
enson investigating Committee, De-
clares Scope of Work Uncertain.

Milwaukee, Until the committee
appointed to investigate the election
of Senator Isaac Stephenson meets in
Milwaukee early in October, it will
not be known whether the investiga-
ton will be confined to the election
of Senator Stephenson or whether the
primary nomination will be included
in the investigation.
This was the statement made by
Senator w. B. Hepburn, chairman of
the committee, who stopped over in
Milwc lkee while on his way from
Washington to his home in Wallace,
Idaho.
Senator Heyburn's visit was for
the purpose of looking over the situa-
ton and making preliminary arrange
ments for the meeting of the commit
tee.
There will be much interest taken
in the decision of the committee re-
garding the scope of the investiga-
ton. Those opposed to Senator Steph-
enson are anxious that the commit
tee take up the expense at the
primary election, as that was where
Senator Stephenson's money was
spent.
If the investigation extends to the
primary the committee may remain
In session six or seven weeks.

Madison.-Game Warden Shots is
preparing a hunters memorandum
showing changes in the laws The
deer season remains the same, No
vember 10 to 80. A change was
made in the bag limits for bird hunt
tiers. Hunters this season must OBJ
serve these restrictions: Grouse,
prairie chickens or woodcock, five;
geese and brant. ten; cartridges, ten;
wild duck, mudhen, plover, rail or
rice hen, fifteen; mixed bag of game
birds, twenty.
Hunters who trespass will not
have as much to fear as formerly.
Wealthy gun clubs have encroached
on the favored hunting grounds to
such an extent that the legislature
decided to put an end to the game
preserve monopoly. 1t has been
usual for courts to fine trespassing
hunters small amounts, perhaps a
few cents, but the costs always made
such experiences disagreeable. The
new law limits the costs to an amount
not greater than that of the fine.
Deer were never more plentiful in
Wisconsin than they are this year,
according to Warden Sholts, and
this years hatch OF partridge was
unusually large. Land owners in the
northern part of the state have post
