WOULD REDUCE COUNTY BOARD
Assemblyman Ellingson Introduces
Another Good Measure

Another Good Measure
Assemblyman Ellingson has intro
duced a bill abolishing the county
board as at present constituted, and
establishing board whose members
would be elected by the county at
large. The bill provides that in coun-
ties having population less than 25O,OOO
the board consists of three members,
subject to an increase in counties OF
over 80, 900 to five members If so de-
cided by popular vote. The members
are to hold office for three years, one
to be elected each year. Regular
meetings are to be held on the first
Monday of each month. The amount
which such board can appropriate for
any building, bridge or for the purchase
of real estate is limited in counties Of
less than 30, 900 to $4,000, in counties
of from 80, 900 to $4,000, $4,000, and in
counties over $4,000, $4,000. Appro-
priations of sums in excess of these
amounts must be submitted to vote
of the electors, and money could be
borrowed only on popular vote.
The proposed change seems to us
good one. The saving in expense
would be considerable. Probably not
to exceed 20 days would be required
during the year for meetings, which
would cost $240, at the proposed sal
ary of $4 per day. Last year our
county board cost $615, exclusive of
mileage. With regular meetings each
month the business Of the county
could be attended to more promptly,
and the board would be kept in better
touch with and would understand same
better. Greater familiarity with the
county affairs would enable the board
to audit claims understandingly. The
provision taking from the board the
power to expend large sums and plunge
the county into debt is especially COM
mendable.

Olaf Sather Jumps 81 Feet

Of course that does not approach the
worlds record, but it is quite sight
just the same to see Olaf Sather leave
the end of the slide and sail through
the air for Ga feet and alight with his
skis still under him. Some of the
other ski jumpers Sunday jumped as
far, but their manner of alighting was
not regulation. The extension built to
the scaffold makes it Is feet high and
the slide is now 225 feet long.

High School Team Beats chesek

In somewhat fast game of basket
ball at the opera house Friday night,
the local High School team defeated
the Chetek High School by score of
62 to "a. This coupled with the fact,
that the Chetek team out-weighed the
locals, makes very good showing for
our boys. Thus far in the season they
are even with the world, having won
six and lost six games.

LECTURE COURSE ENDS
ORPHAN MUSICAL CLUB GIVE
LAST NUMBER
COURSE A SUCCESS FINANCIALLY
Committee Planning to Give Us An.
other Series of Entertainments
Next Season

With the Orphean Musical Clubs
entertainment Saturday night closed
this seasons Lecture Course, series
of FIVE high-class entertainments. The
course this year has been successful
financially and the public is indebted to
F. E. Munroe, Mrs. T. M. Thomas and
Miss Margaret Sinclair, who person
ally assumed the responsibility of the
contract with the Lyceum Bureau.
Their previous experience enabled
them to make a good selection of at
tractive numbers and at price at
which they could pay out.
The popularity of the Lecture Course
system has been steadily gaining since
it was inaugurated here four years ago,
until this year the sale of season tick
cts was over 200, nearly as many as
the opera house could accommodate.
Encouraged by their success this sea-
son, the committee is preparing to give
us still better course, if possible,
next season. 1t may be that a circuit
can be formed with several nearby
cities, and if the same numbers can be
agreed upon some money will be saved.
The following is the financial state
ment given out by the committee.

Mems Club Meeting

The monthly meeting of the Mems
Club at the Congregational church
Monday evening was not largely at
tended, but the discussions were none
the less interesting. Judge D. W. Ma
loney gave his ideas ON the difference
between Patriotism and Jingoism.
Judging the present by the past, he
said that what is considered jingoism
today may in the future be termed pa
triotism. Ex-Assemblyman T. M.
Thomas in an interesting manner traced
bill through it's twenty-one steps in
the legislature before it becomes law.
He said so far as he knew the quickest
time ever made in enacting law in
Wisconsin was when this county
changed it's name from Gates. to Rusk;
all red tape was cut and the actual
time required was less than half
hour.

DENIES LOSSES ON COTTON
Col. R. III. Thompson Says Re
norris. of Bic Crop Are Foolish.

Colonel Robert NJ Thompson. who was
reported 10 have lost between 100000 and
81 10000 through his operations on the bull
side Of the cotton market, said yesterday
that these rumors were foolish He said
that he had gone TO cover" when the
market started its recent heavy decline.
and therefore had not suffered any losses.
He added that he was always bun on
cotton, and that notwithstanding the late
slump he was q strong bull now ana was
expecting 70 get some bear peits' before
long. The number OF Wall Street traders
who had hocked 70 the bear side OF the
market during the last six weeks, had
done SO. Colonel Thompson said. because
they believed ridiculous and foolish re-
ports" from the Southwest Of record
breaking cotton crop.
Il cannot find a strong enough WORD 10
condemn such reports. he continued ap-
pearing to ignore the fact that the last
government report on cotton was Tor
record breaking crop Of lAd"on naies
The next forty-fve days is the cruclai
time The cotton plant now is big, out the
cotton is not yet out. II needs ram anu
when the rain comes the boil weevil ana
the army worm viii come with u. Al
ready there are reports Of the boil weevil
from Texas. and 7 believe that the crop
there will be no larger than last. year.
The world needs cotton. I look for
crop of between 100000 and 100000 bales
and nearer the latter There viii be
strong demand for f. Those who nave
been buying II all along from these short
sellers are spinners themselves VINO now
nave cotton. / believe. at cheaper rates
than il can be delivered 20 them FOR manu-
facture.
Colonel THOMPSON said he was not asso-
ciated with Theodore r. Price, who recent
lv re-entered the cotton market after a
three years absence and has been opeial-
ing on the bull side
Notwithstanding Colonel Thompson 8
buIIish predictions for cotton however. the
bears were quite active again yesterday
and succeeded in hammering prices down
30 points or s. a bale.
