PLAN WIDE FIRE RISK PROBE
inquiry Under Way by Special Legis-
lative Committee Viii Ee Deep
and Broad in Scope.

Madison.-To develop wide,
searching inquiry into the whole
field of fire insurance is the purpose
of the legislative committee appoint
ed by the last legislature to make an
investigation of that subject, which
met in the Office of Insurance Com
missioner Ekern and organized for
the work in hand.
Senator George Scott was chosen
chairman and Assemblyman L. L.
johnson secretary, and a general dis
cussion was had of plans of work
Some clerical help for the prelimin-
airy work of gathering data will be
required and this will be arranged
for at once
Insurance companies are to be
asked to furnish information regard
ing agents, the qualification required,
contracts, commissions, etc. A cir
cular will be issued asking the pub
lie to provide whatever information
is thought pertinent and to make
complaints of whatever nature may
be deemed just in the case.
The whole question will be given
study by the committee before a
fully determined plan of procedure
is accepted. The committee will
meet again in December, if not soon
er, subject to the chairman's call.
Meanwhile the members will attend
the national convention of insurance
commissioners in Milwaukee the lat
ter part of August.

PLAN A CROss-sTATE ROAD
Highway from Milwaukee to Prairie
du Chen Will. Be Part of Trans
continental Automobile Route.

Prairie du Chien.-Durtng the
next few weeks the best rdud from
this city to Milwaukee, by way of
Madison, will be picked out and uni
formly marked as part of trans
continental highway for automobile
travel. At this point it will be con-
nected with the famous north Iowa
turnpike, which extends in almost a
straight line from McGregor, oppo-
site this city, to Canton, S. D.
1t is planned to send a pathfinding
car over the proposed route soon to
make observations as to the beet
roads and for the further purpose of
meeting and comforting with the
good roads people of the several COM
munities. 1t is believed that the es-
Enlistment of a road from Milwau-
kee to South Dakota along the lines
proposed will result in much of the
tourist travel that now misses Wis
consin altogether going to and from
Chicago by way of Milwaukee and
Madison and crossing the river at
this point, instead of at Clinton, Du-
buque and Davenport, as at present.

DEVELOPING LOVE or ART
days Acquire the Habit of Visit.
ing Picture Galleries.

A small lassie was conducted by her
mother on tour Of the Layton gallery
and the established etiquette for art
galleries in general was being includ.
ed as part of her instruction for the
day. Standing before a particularly
prosatc-looktng canvas, she found 1t
convenient to divert her mind by
utilizing the brass railing as a trap
eze-thereby developing the muscles
OF her back and arms.
What are you doing?'' the fond
mother inquired. DO you think this
is a gymnasium? You don't come to
an art gallery to swing on a railing.
You come to look at the pictures.
Stand up there, If you want 70 come
again. The implied threat as a
t1nality was effective so far that there
was no question in the onlooker's mind
as to the treat the little lady evident
ly regarded visit to the gallery. That
is the great point-to have children
during their schooldays acquire the
habit Of visiting picture galleries.
Then 1t will be but a matter of time
for the development of discriminative
appreciation. That and real affection
for the truly beautiful will follow log.

much better, il fact, to substitute
doing for saying"
An excellent maxim!" returned the
other with well simulated Indifference.
All OF your fellow citizens, however,
will be deeply interested in the out
come Of the affair. I am an older man
than you are, Mr. GOrmly, and may
therefore take the liberty, not of adj
vising you as to the conduct Of your
business, but of saying in a friendly
way one or two things that occur to
me. The first is that as a business
man know that this publicity is more
or less distastefuI to you. I assume
that it will be to the Gotham Freight
Traction company, which, I believe, is
very worthy concern, DESTROYS of
minding its own business and exploit
ing its own properties. I think my
self, viewing the situation impartial
ly, that you have been hardly dealt
with. I doE't want to see the affair
advance any farther, for the credit
OF the community. Suppose we

rs this burst out Gormly
quickly. Is this a compromise you
are offering?"
I am offering nothing" returned
Haldane lightly, almost indifferently
Il am not in position to offer anything,
AS I stated to you, am simply a citi-
zen who wants to see this unpleasant
matter removed from the papers,
where such things are discussed by
Incorporate writer's without any real
comprehension of the issues involved

friend. to bring you two together"

answer. Z simply take advantage of

I will not pay a single cent over and
above the actual cost of building the

I fear you viii never get the switches. -

Gormly paused, and looked his com
panion hard and directly in the face.
But what?" said Haldane, Ticking
the ashes from his cigar daintiIy. and
speculativeIy watching the blue curl
of smoke that rose languidIy from its
end in the air.
Gormly thought quickly. He was
not now deceived by the well assumed
indifference Of HaIdane. He was con
WINGED that there was something back
Of it; that the relation of Haldane to
the whole affair was more than a

berries Shipped from Wisconsin.

Madison.-Reports received by
Secretary Cranfeld of the State Hor-
ticultural society show that over IT'S
carloads Of Wisconsin strawberries,
averaging 300 bushels, were shipped
out of the state this year. Most of
the sixty-five carloads shipped out
of Sparta went to Minnesota and the
Dakotas. Berries from Bayfield, go
as far south as st. Louis. Sturgeon
Bay shipped forty-six carloads.
The Wisconsin apple crop is esti-
mated at 100000 barrels. Between
$4,000 and 100000 will reach the
large markets. 1t is also estimated
that 5000 barrels will be shipped
from Baraboo this summer.
A report from Baraboo is to the eff
feet that the apple crop in Sank

market is glutted and thousands of
bushels are rotting on the ground.

LEADS MINERAL WATER SALE
Report of Geological Survey Shows
Over 8,OOO,Oo Marketed from
Wisconsin Springs in 1910.

Washing ton.-Ninera waters of
Wisconsin are sufficiently popular to
have given that state first place in
the value of water sold in the last
report of the geological survey. The
year reported showed d slight de-
crease over that before indicating
that perhaps the public has about
reached its capacity for mineral
waters. Total sales were 6,101,882
gallons. The value decreased from
$1,239, 907 in 1908 to $1,132, 239 in
1909, a loss of $107,66S or SOS per
cent. The selling price per gallon
decreased only 1 per cent.
Seven new springs reported sales
increasing the total number report
ing to thirty-four. Only little over
10 per cent of the total water sold
is used incidentally. There are re
sorts at only four OF the springs,
with accommodations for nearly q
600 people, and the water at two is
said to be used for bathing. IN adj
dition to the sales it is stated that
there were sold 1,225,077 gallons
used in the manufacture Of soft
drinks
The total value of clay products,
brick, tile and pottery increased from
$958,365 to $1,139,5S9.
There is but one natural cement
plant in the state. It increased the
value of its product from 1908 to
1909 from $4,000 to $97121.

the bonds Of the Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company are two hundred and

that it is in the enjoyment Of a ninety

Much Of What you say is a matter
Of public notoriety. You have given

I did not possess and which is Of val

it.

"'of controlling the company"

This is most interesting. I am Gu
rious TO know how you propose to do
it?
THE business that you have built up
is evidence of your capacity in that
line; but you have, I take it, never

Never. I didn't mean to, either"

The question was one GormIy could
have declined to answer without a

any offense, for it was one that Hal
dane had no right to ask. He thought
deeply, if swiftly, and before he spoke,
Haldane continued:
