Big Appropriation Made.

The Senate on Wednesday afternoon passed with only two dissenting votes the bill presented by Senator Old ham, of the Charities Committee, pro- viding am appropriation of $410,000 in lump sum for the maintenance of the State Hospital for Nervous Dis eases. There were number of sen- atorss who opposed the principle of appropriating a lump sum to be ad- ministered exclusively by board. Senator Clerget insisted that if this precedent were set. it would mean the appropriation for various institutions of about $2,000,O00, and he insisted that while the present board is all right, future boards might not, and safeguards should be thrown about the disbursement of the funds. The board is insisting that the proper way to provide funds in the lump sum and they may act more economically than they could if restricted to speci- fife items. It is pointed out that all the states of the Union except Ark ansas and Texas have adopted the plan of appropriating funds in lump sums. The Senate had previously passed the Deaf Mute Bill for $127,- GOO in & lump sum but the House has referred it back to the committee for the Blind school, and it is prob able that similar course will be pursued with other state institutions. In 1909 the Legislature appropriated $403. .52SS0, of which the governor ve- tued $41.460. This left deficiency of $19.500 for the months of Feb- ruary and March, which has just bee, appropriated. There are now 1124 patients in the asylmm. and it Is es- timated there are nearly 300 more in the etate held in jails and private in- stiutipns Had prosisions been made tor III q these = e4oQ TIT capita.

A LARGE COLONY
TO BE ESTABLISHED NORTH
OF HAWKINS
70 SETTLE EAST END OF COUNTY
Beginning of the Opening UP OF a
Large Tract of Wild
Land

We learn that Mr.. j. S. Kruszka, a
practical colonizer, who. has had years
of experience as chairman of the colon
ization commission Of the National alli-
ance and who has strong connections
at Chicago, New York, Pittsburg,
Montreal and Winnipeg, was here a
few days this week and completed an
arrangement that has been under nego-
tiation for several months, whereby he
secured large tract of as fine, gentle
rolling, hardwood ridges as there is
any where in Northern Wisconsin, in
the center of the famous clayey-loam
belt. He expects to put a large col
ony in north of this town, up in the
Skinner creek and Flambeau river
region, of the Bohemian and Polish ma
tionalities.
1t is expected that there will be a
post-office up there very soon, in fact a
town of their own. The Ellingson
Lumber Co. has agreed to give one
forty of land to their church as soon as
there are forty families located on the
land. The colonizer says that he will
see to it that the company loses this
before six months is over.
1t is not necessary for us to comment
on this matter: it's Importance to this
section will at once be recognized by
all. The settlement of our unoccupied,
cut-over lands and the bringing of
t rem under cultivation is Northern
Wisconsin's only problem and that is
being rapidly solved. We have the soil
that produces crops, and good ones.
too; we have the close-at-hand mar
kets; we have a good healthy climate;
we have good roads, good schools, chur-
ches, telephone lines, rural mail routes,
and everything that is for the comfort
and convenience of the settler.

IMPROVEMENTS TO Be
BUILDING SEASON WILL OPEN
EARLY THIS YEAR
new HOTEL AND STORE BUILDINGS
indications are for Active Building
Operations this Spring
and Summer

Indications are that there will be
much building in Ladysmith the COM
ing season, and unlike former seasons,
it will begin early in the spring.
Those who contemplate building are
not generally free to divulge their
plans, the carrying out of which not
infrequently depends upon certain con-
ditions materializing.
This fine sleighing is being taken
advantage of by one builder to get his
material on the ground Brick is
being piled on the Haasl lot in the rear
of Kunz' saloon which are said to be
for the erection of a large hotel build
ing which will occupy the corner oppo-
site Worden's store.
St. Mary's Catholic Church have the
plans drawn and approved for the
erection of several large substantial
buildings on their block in the First
ward, to be built one at time as fast
as funds can be raised. 1t is expected
that the first one will be erected the
coming season, which will be school
building. This will be fitted up tenn
porarily for church services until
church can be built. The present
church building is far too small to meet
present needs. The concrete founda-
tion on the northeast corner of the
block, which was built for church
building several years ago, has been
condemned and will be torn down.
j. F. Cass now has his plans COM
pleted for the building he was talking
of erecting last fall, and will begin
operations as soon as the weather will
permit. 1t will be two-story brick
building on the lot east of Vaughan's
clothing store, which Mr.. Cass bought
when he first came to Ladysmith.
M. d. Martin is also talking of build
ing this season on the corner adjoining
his store building. This will also be of
brick, two or possibly three stories.
J. F. Mitchell has been heard to say
that if things shaped themselves satis-
factorily he would erect building in
the business section this season.
The Church of Christ will probably
build an addition to their church this
summer, if not build new edifce to
meet their growing needs.
1t is expected that the coming season
will witness several changes to be made
here by the 500 railroad.
The two new bridges to be built
across the Flambeau this spring will
cause many new residences to be erect
ed on the opposite side of the river.
Of course there are other store build
ings and numerous residences being
planned, and indications are that there
will be plenty of work for brick-layers,
carpenters and brick-makers at Lady
smith for number of years to come.

North Wisconsin Cattle

Not all the beef consumed by Lady
smith people is slaughtered at the
packing houses. Olaf Olson, of the
firm of Reif & Olson, and John Jez
went to the farm of Louis Cloutier near
Port Arthur Wednesday morning to
buy some cattle. They selected four
heifers year and a half old, which
when dressed averaged ATS lbs. each.
They were corn-fed cattle and rolling
fat, and the quality of beef they make
cannot be excelled anywhere.

A Good Showing

A circular sent out by A. N. Bort of
Beloit, one of the Directors of the
Modern Woodman of America, shows
that mutual insurance society is to be
in most fourishing condition at. the
of it's goth year. During the
past six years the per capita cost of
has decreased from $1.04
to 96 cents. The past two years 10
assessments have been levied annually,
which is the greatest number since the
readjustment of rates. One assess
ment on it's million odd members aggre-
gates over a million dollars for. the pay
ment of death claims.
The death rate for the year 1910 was
less than six per thousand members.
The average loss rate for 1910 was
$6. 40 for each $1,000 insurance. A bal
ance of $685. was in the benefit
fund Jan. /, 1911, and in the general
fund $7O4,20S.
The Woodman tuberculosis Sanitar-
ium at Colorado Springs, Colo, which
was equipped and is maintained by
contributions from the membership,
now has 1873 patients; 800 have been
discharged, 70 per cent of whom were
cured or improved.
