Visit to Mineral Springs Brewery.

Highland fre~S.
Nothing succeeds like success is
pretty good going when you succeed.
When Otto Lieder and Frank Inter
holzner took charge of the ruins of the
Mineral Point brewery wrecked by fire
it was a mighty big job for two sturdy
men.
The bare walls was all they had TO
start with. Today they have a COM
plete plant and are well up the ladder
of successful brewing.
Both practical brewers having started
at the foundation Of the industry as
workmen they have ever labored to
perfect their product. The rapidly in
creased output each year has rewarded
their toll and earnest endeavor TO
maintain purity and quality.
New steel beams and cement floors
have replaced the old wooden floors;
new casks in the cellars; new pitching
machinery; and many other improve
ments totaling thousands Of dollars has
been added within few years, and a
new labelling machine has been ordered
for spring delivery, which will afford
every convenience.
At their ice house they hoist the lee
automatically by endless chain carrier
run by electricity. Other motors are
also used for pumping water and beer
in cellars. A very handy eontrivance.

MENOMINEE JOURNAL: Bailey of
Texas did just what those who knew
him expected him to do. He posed the
great friend of the people until it was
found out that he was the paid agent
and attorney of the Standard Oil com
pany. lie was their secret adviser
while pretending to be the advocate Of
the peoples cause. He has played
false to the people for years and should
be driven out of public life. II has al
ways been a mystery to US why a ven
liable wind bag could maintain his seat
in the United States Senate sent from
a state that aspires to be one Of the
first toappreciatc It's liberty. There is
some thing wrong dowa in Texas that
he has not been relegated to private
life before this. What a pair he and

AssEMBLYMAN HARPER's bill, which
provides that all credits shall be eX-
empt from taxation, is being given far
more attention by this Legislature than
it was two years ago. The fact that il
is being given the support Of the tax
commission and that an income tax bill
is almost certain TO be passed by this
legislature may secure the passage of
the BILL The joint committees on tax
alton have been giving considerable at
tention to the matter and may report
the bill out to the floor within the next
few days

THERE is no question but that it will
be very difficult TO make money ex-
penditures in any large amounts in fu-
ture political campaigns in Wisconsin.
This legislature is certainly going to
pass a law which will prevent campaign
funds of over a hundred thousand dol
lars, such as were spent in behalf of
Isaac Stephenson in his 1908 senatorial
campaign and the Common committee in
its 1910 campaign.

Northern Wisconsin are making a very
thorough canvas in favor of the bills
for the consolidation of school districts
and to provide transportation for pupils
to and from the schools in the CONSOLE

Merlin HuIs bills, which offer very
material aid to consolidated school dis

will be passed before the session is

.HAMER SUGGESTED
FOR GOVERNOR

The question of who will receive
the republican nomination for gov.
ernor in the state is still an open
question, although there has been
and still are a number of possibili-
ties. 1t has been generally conceed-
ed that mali from the north would
be selected as the standard bearer
aud number of prominent men in
the panhandle district have been
mentioned. So far as generally
known the southern part of the state
was largely willing for the north to
have the honor and name the candi-
date.
A Northern Idaho paper, the
Occur d'Alene Chronicle, supports
Col. Thos. r. Hamer, of st. Anth-
ony, Fremont county, former con-
gressional representative, for the
place, stating:
Will Thomas R. Hamer, former
congressman from Idaho, become a
candidate for the republican NOM
ihation for governor? This is n
question republicans of kootenai
county are asking. Some promin-
ent local party leaders are frankly
outspoken in favor of his candidacy
Hamer in one term became a
powerful and influential member of
the lower house of congress and de.
veloped wonderful faculty for do
ing things. He accomplished much
for the state and displayed qualities
that would make him useful in the
governors office. Furthermore he
is forceful public speaker and de-
batter, and man with these qualities
should be nominated to lend enthu-
siasm to the campaign, hold the re-
publican voters in line and thus win
! the election.
Hamer is especially strong in
Kootenai county. His success in
getting the bill through the house
for o public building at Coeul
d'Alene made him many friends and
followers here.
In case the north part of the state
has multiplicity of candidates, a.
al present, the nomination is certsir
to go to the south. With. the exist
ing division continued, and with
Hamer a candidate, Kootenai would
give him strong support.

CROP VALUES FOR 1911
COMPARED WITH PAST YEARS
Secretary Of Agriculture Give Interesting Report
on Yield and Value of Farm Products for
the Current Year.

the farms of this country have ever
produced.
As sort of measure of the years
performance in agriculture. the bushels
of the cereals are added together and
compared with totals of former years.
The total for this year, 4,522, 600, QUO. is
3.4 per cent below the fve-year average
and the Secretarytadds, while it indi-
Gates the agricultural year of 1911 Was
below par, it is far from indicating any
degree of calamity. If the, great cot
ton crop be taken into account, the
total crop production is below the aver
age in less degree than the cereals
suggest"
The year 1911 WAS poor one for
record-breaking crops, since the list
only includes cotton and sugar beets,
Apart from these two crops, not crop
reaches q place that is next to the
highest production of former years;
corn and rice win third place aud buck
wheat third place since the sixties; the
total of all cereals occupies dfth place
and the other lcrops are farther down
the scale.
The tale is reversed when the vilue
of the crops are considered. The crops
that have won first place make forni~
liable list in spite of the fact that they
have previous very high values to ex-
ceed. The list is corn, barley, rye,
buckwheat (since the sixties) potatoes,
hops, haXseed. sugar beets Tor beet
SUGAR. and cane sugar. No other
crop reached second place in order of
value in comparison with other years,
but the total value of all cereals and OF
all crops did. The crops that reach
third place are hay, cotton and tobacco.
Wheat is fourth in value and has been
exceeded in this respect in three years
The crops of this year compare with
the average of the previous five years
more favorably than they do with sin
gle years when results were highest.
In the list of crops that had a produc-
tion above the five-year average are
cotton, rice, buckwheat, beet sugar,
and cane sugar.
In the value of crops the ive-year
average was overtopped by corn. cotton,
hay, oats, barley, potatoes, buckwbeat,
rye, flaxseed, hops, beet and cane
sugar.

WANT BETTER
PHONE SERVICE

"Why can't we have better tele-
phone service in Montpelier" asked.
a prominent business man of the
Examiner representative few days
ago, The only answer that we
could give was that it is impossible
for the telephone company to give
tirst-class service with an old and
bum equipment, such as the local
exchange is supplied with
"But why should Montpelier be
compelled to have, an an,equated
system" asked the gentleman,
"when other towns which have
smaller exchanges than Montpelier,
are equipped with modern systems,
for which the patrons of the tele-
phone company are paying the same
rate as we are paying for this old,
ent-of-date system. ! know of one
town in particular in Southern Idaho
in which there are at least so less
patrons than there are on the Mont
pelier exchange, which has the lat
est facilities, and the service is so
far superior to what we have here
that there is simply no comparison,
so the company can't say that the
poor service here is due to lack of
patronage.
After discussing the matter for a
time the gentleman suggested that
the Commercial Club ought to get
busy and ascertain if it is possible
to prevail upon the company to
supplant the old switch board and
system with modern equipment
As member of the board oil
directors of the Commercial Clut
the writer took the question mp with
The president and other members ot
the board and it was determined
that the club should take this ques
tlon up with the proper officials o.
the telephone company and endeavo
to secure for the patrons of the
Montpelier exchange rs good servic'
as is accorded at other exchange
along the system.
The company is certainly discrim
mating against the Montpelier pat
rons when it charges them the SAM
for poor service as it is chargln,
natrons elsewhere for first clas
service.

DEATH RESULTS FROM
GUN SHOT WOUND

Hyrum Il. Clark, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. ID. Clark of Auburn, Wyo.,
died at his home near Auburn last
Tuesday. Death was caused from
blood poisoning resulting from gun
shot wound inflicted on Wednesday,
Nov 30
While out hunting that day Mr.
Clark killed duck, which he hung
up on the limb of tree, while he
went In search of more game. On
his way home he stopped to get the
duck While reaching up for 1t, the
gun fell from his hand and upon
striking the ground was discharged.
The shot penetrated his right heel
and badly shattered the bones.
The wound, while painful was not
considered dangerous until blood
poison set in and so quickly permeat-
ed his system that medical skill could
bring no relief.
The deceased was 90 years of age.
Besides his parents, and relatives In
this county, he is survived by wife
and one child. The body was brought
tc Montpelier and shipped TO Farm
ington, Utah, Wednesday for burial.

In the discussion of crop production
and values, the Secretary of agriculture
in his fifteenth annual report which
has Just been made public, states that
the climatic conditions of the early part
If the growing season OF 1911, was ad-
verse to agriculture thruout the
country east of the Rocky Mountain
in a degree that exceeds all records
For period of go days beginning early
in May, a series of hot waves of marked
severity so early in the season followed
one another in rapid succession, and
the Weather Bureau is quoted as de
claripg that it is probable that during
no, previous period OF so days has the
temperature been 80 continuously and
tensiye region in the last half CEN
tury. At the same time there was a
large deficiency of rainful that added
to the crop damage.
The secretary declares that while
the total value of the crops in 1911 are
not 30 high III in 1910, there is great
abundance for all purposes. For the
first time in many years the total value
of farm prod ucts has declined from
that of the preceding year. The esti-
mate for 1911 is based on the census
items, and is 81, Al. 900, 600 or $277, 900, :
600 under the total for 1910. The loss
is chargeable to the general classes of
animal products and animals sold and
slaughtered Dairy cows are the only
farm animals for which increase of
price is indicated. Eggs, wool, butter
and poultry have suffered in farm price
during the year. In consequence of
the decline of prices of farm animals
and their products, this group is esti-
mated as having produced value of
e., 913, 600, 900 in 1911, or $S9l, 200, 900
below the amount for 1910.
On the other hand, the crops are
worth more than those for 1910, the
estimate of their farm value being $5,
504, 900, 900, gain of $44, 900, 600 over
1910. Farm prices of all crops are
higher than for 1910 except for cotton,
cotton seed, and fiaxseed, and this
general fact, Notwithstanding the other
general fact that production was low,
makes about 10 crops of 1911 the most
valuable ones of the same kinds that
