VALUATION TO STAND
RAILROAD BOARD WILL GRANT
NO REHEARlNG IN NEENAH
POWER co. RATE CASE.
Commissions Decision Holds Pays
ment OF Excessive Price for Plant
No Ground for High Rates.

Madison.-The state railroad COM
mission announces that its recent de-
cision in the case of the city of
Neenah against the Wisconsin Trac-
ton, Light, Heat and Power COM
pany will not be subject to a rehear-
ing. On Aug. the commission or
dered a reduction in the rates of the
company of about 25 per cent. The
company then applied for rehear-
ing on the ground that the valuation
of it's property was 100000 more
than that fixed by the commission.
The commission said the plant was
not worth much over 100000. The
company asked the commission to
fix the valuation nearer to the figure
which it was claimed had been paid
for it-$500, 000-taking into ac-
count additions that had been made
and also asked that the rates be
raised to yield returns based upon
the desired increased valuation.

Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EN-
HIBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

4 carload of grain in straw, grasses
and other of the products of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
great deal of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and cauliflower are shown.
1t is true that the homestead area
is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk of that now to be had lies north
of the Saskatchewan river in a por-
ton of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large guam
tity of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
Water is in abundance, hay is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derful crop yields of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken Of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for
distribution at the land show CONF
mencing on the 18th of November
and closing on Dec. Sth, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as they are published.

DISMISSAL OF LIQUOR SUITS
Waukesha Saloonkeepers Not to Be
Prosecuted for Sunday Selling
Are Given a Warning.


MISUNDERSTANDING a long con-
ference between Mayor Love, Dis
trict Attorney Evans and the attor~
neys for the defense in the case of
the state against Simon Lattner, a
saloonkeeper, charged with selling
liquor on Sunday, Mr. Evans made a
motion in municipal court that all
cases against liquor dealers, arrested
on this charge, be dismissed.
Mr.. Evans said that the expense of
securing convictions would be too
great to warrant a continuance of
the cases already before the court
Judge Agnew warned the twelve
saloon men that in the future the
law in regard to Sunday closing
would be strictly enforced and adj
yised them not to sell liquor on Sum
days

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER

There are two types of farmers quite
farmer who works hard from daylight
till dark and never seems to get much
out of his labor except a living or the
advance in his land for which he is
not entirely responsible, and the far
mer who seldom has to work overtime,
finds time to visit his neighbors and
enjoys life to its full measure, while
his crops, stock and bank account
thrive.
There is a reason for this difference
and we need not go far to seek the
cause. The first named farmer starts
in anywhere and usually ends nowhere
He is without system. He works
with his hands but fails to use his
head. He does not look far enough
ahead, depends upon Drawn instead of
brain and Drawn to carry on his farm
operations. He may have plenty of
pluck, perseverance, integrity, but
lacks the one essential, system.
ht out''SoIui ldllutT IL
He plans things and keeps more than
one kite to his string. Rotation of
crops, stock breeding, farm accounts
are studied by him Good seed IS
planted at Che right time in the right
place. He doesn It go after PROPOSE
tion until he is sure it is for his best
interests. He studies his business.
Economy of time is brought about by
rushing the step in the busy season IN
stead of extending the hours. True,
he may not always be successful in
every operation, but where results of
work are weighed at the end of the
harvest the profit side of the ledger
shows the brain and Drawn.

UNIFORM ACCOUNT SYSTEM

According to one of the acts of the
last legislature, all counties in the
state are to adopt uniform system of
accounting. Auditor Leddy has taken
this work up and has notified County
Clerk Hubbard to prepare his books
for this work. The plan of the state
auditor is to have the books in all
counties kept along similar lines So
that examinations can be more easily
conducted. The letter received here
gives the details of the various forms
recommended by the auditor ana he
says he will send an accoutant here to
start the system out if this is desired.
Mr.. Hubbard has written the audi
tor a rather sarcastic letter of crit
eism of the system which he declares
will involve great deal of extra work
and in some instances prove no advan
tage over the present plan.
