SIGNAL TOWER FOR RANGERS
to Adopt This Means of Prevent
ing Spread of Forest Fires.

Madison.-Wisconsin will be the
first of western states to use signal
towers as an aid to prevention of
forest fires. States Forester E. M.
Grifiths, upon his return from a trip
to northern Wisconsin, made known
plans for the immediate erection of
six steel towers, similar to windmills,
at as many high points of land in
the state forest reserves in Villas and
adjoining counties.
A platform at the top of the tow
ers will be enclosed with a string of
wires stretched at right angles to
form squares, each wire to be num-
bered. During dry periods forest
rangers will be stationed in the tow
ers to search the landscape for twen-
ty miles around for smoke from for
est fires. When smoke is discovered,
the watcher will denote it's position
with respect to the crossing of two
of the wires in his lookout, and
map at hand will tell him in a mo-
ment the corresponding position of
the smoke as to town and range num-
bers. A telephone will be installed
in the tower, and the watcher will
be enabled to call up his associate
rangers nearest to the fire, who will
take steps to extinguish the fire

PLAN WATER POWER FIGHT
Wisconsin Manufacturers to Formu-
late Plans for War on Law Civ
ing Control to State.

Neenah.-At the meeting of man
ufacturers here it is expected that
plans for fighting the law giving the
state control of water powers will be
formulated.
1t was announced after the mea-
sure became a law that it's constitu-
t1onality would be determined in the
courts. The test will be made at once
and former State Senator Theodore
Brazeau of Grand Rapids, attorney
for the manufacturers, has been max
ing preparations for the suit
1t may be a suit restraining the
payments of any money under the
law on the ground that the law is
unconstitutional. And it may be that
the payment of any license fee will
be resisted.
In this case three actions will prob
ably be brought, one testing the law
as regards so-called navigable
streams, on which boats may be run,
second as regards streams which are
called navigable because logs can be
floated on them, and the third af-
fecting the rights now admitted as
-navigable.

WAXING FLOORS BY MOTOR
New Invention to Save Labor and
Strength Has Been Introduced
in Berlin, Germany.

New household uses for the electric
motor are being found one by one.
This time it is a machine for waxing
the floor The apparatus, which has
just been introduced in Berlin, Ger
many, where 1t was invented, consists
of an electric motor, the bottom of
which is formed by strong revolving
brush. The motor is connected with
one of the electric light sockets; the
chambermaid takes hold of the han
die and moves the small motor from
one part of the room to another until
the whole floor is polished The wax
is, of course, applied before the pol
fishing begins. Thus the work can be
done much quicker, more perfectly
and without any effort on the part of
the operator Every modern fiat in
Berlin is being provided with one of
these electric floor polishers.
In the old fashioned way the polish
ing Of hardwood floors requires much
labor and strength for the floor has
to be covered with wax, and this must
be rubbed with brushes until the wood
is as smooth as ice and shines like
huge mirror
This work takes up much time and
has to be done quite frequently. In
houses with large rooms it is so diff
cult that the maid servants often re-
fuse to do it and men have had to be
employed for this special purpose.

Farmland Near Lacrosse Shoots
White Girl Who Spurned His At
tentions Threaten Lynching.

La Crosse.-A thousand farmers,
headed by the sheriff and officers
from La Crosse, are securing Camp

ed Miss Sylvia Price, a white girl,
daughter of the manager of the Car
gill Macmillan farm, in that town.

brooding because she had rejected
his advances.
Upon the girls refusal to talk
with him, the negro began firing.
The first shot struck the young wom-
an in the right arm. The second
went through her left arm and en-
tered her back.
Robinette then dashed into his
room and three more shots were
heard A moment later he left
through the window of his room and
disappeared in the woods. It is be-
lieved he is wounded.

Lacrosse Citizens VIII Attempt to
Have Physical Connection Be-

La Crosse with the
new state law requiring physical con-

companies of Wisconsin Immediately.
A petition is being prepared asking
the state railroad rate commission to
require that the Wisconsin Telephone
company connect with the toll line
panies in this county and also to re-
quire the independent toll lines to
connect with the Wisconsin COM
pany's exchanges. The commission,
under the new law, is authorized to
order a physical connection and ap-
praise the rates.
The situation is particularly i'm
portant here, because there has been
an extensive development locally and
on toll lines of the two opposing sys-
TENS owned respectively by the Wis
consin Telephone company and the
La Crosse Telephone company Both
companies cover all western Wiscon-
sin and extend a great distance to
the west, but the La Crosse company
is unable to reach Milwaukee, Madi-
son or Chicago and it is to force this
connection so that the subscribers Of
the La Crosse company may have the
advantage of the Bell lines that the
action is taken.
The commission will be asked to
act promptly to relieve the local sit

STRANG KILLED on

NOTED AS A DARING DRIVER
Machine Was Moving Slowly, the

Richland Center.-Lewis Strang,
er, was instantly killed at Blue
River, about twenty miles from here,
while plotting the machine Of the
technical committee on the second
annual reliability run of the Wiscon-
sin State Automobile association.
His car, which was going at a
snail's pace, was wrecked by being
thrown over an embankment when
the road gave way, the highway be-
ing unable to bear the weight of the
machine, cavfng in for almost foot
under the car. The machine turned
turtle, crushing the life out of the
unfortunate driver when it fell upon
him.
j. w. Tufts of Milwaukee, Lester
A. Clark of Lancaster, and Joe Jag
capped injury by jumping from the
car, but the young racer was crushed
under the footboard.
Strang broke an arm about the
middle of June during race on a
Sunday in Kenosha, and is said not
to have been strong enough to have
attempted the wearisome grind Of
the state tour.
Strang was rs years old, and was
known as one of the most daring
drivers. He has been connected with
the Case company of Racine for a
number of years, being the manager
of the Case team He first drove at
