Electric Lights Postponed

G.. Z. Miles, who has been pro
noting electric lights for La Jara
became discouraged Monday night
and returned to his home in Sa-
Ida. 1t is unfortunate that Mr..
Miles did not take. the public in
to his full confidence regarding
the financing OF the enterprise at
an earlier date. 1t was gener-
ally supposed the bulk of the cap
ital was to come from outside
sources and re time was given
to work up a sentiment in favor
of the proposition locally. Mr..
Miles devoted two days to the
work of obtaining pledges for
his enterprise. One S4O0 subscrip-
tion and number of 500 pledges
was all he could obtain. in all about
5000. He very naturally threw up
the sponge. Mr.. Miles is entitled
to sympathy, he devoted several
weeks of his time and several
hundred dollars in expenses to
getting his franchise through the
board of trustees, and supposed
that everything was lovely. We
hope that Mr.. Miles will return
at an early date and find change
in sentiment and by more judi
cious management in working out
the details of his enterprise
achieve success. 1t is understood
that number OF other parties
are anxious to secure electric PR
vileges in La Jara but the general
opinion seems to be that Mr..
Miles should be given a fair show
and plenty Of time to carry out
his plans if he can possibly do
so.

RENO, THE MAGICIAN.

Quite few years ago, during
the last uprising of the Ute In
dians. Edward Reno, the magi-
elan was engaged in travelling
from one hamlet or camp to an
other. His outfit was carried on
the back Of IA pack burro which
was in charge of an Indian guide.
Money was plentiful and the pcO-
pie bestowed literally their gold
and silver in return for the enter
tainment.
During the journey from Pleas
ant Valley Junction to American
Forks, Reno came suddenly upon
II war council of Utes. Both
were taken by surprise. Knowing
nothing else to do, Reno be-
thought himself of his magic.
SO without hesitation he com
menced making rocks disappear,
and finding them in unexpected
places. He swallowed knives and
found them in the possession Of
some of the braves. He tossed
eggs in the air, where they van
iShed, and found them in one
of the braves blankets. He did
the pistol shooting trick, catching
the bullet in his teeth, finish
ing by swallowing the pistol and
finding it in the chiefs mocca-
sins.
The chief was so impressed by
the impromptu performance that

Residents.

Elder r. Bingham of Trenton,
Utah, and Elder f. w. Arthur Lohen
of Salt Lake City, members of the
church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, are in Baraboo doing mission
ary work. Their object in coming is
to put the people right on the princi-

spond to any invitation extended to

of the Latter Day church to send out
the young men as missionaries all

to ten years with other denomina-
tions everywhere. They give up their
positions and leave their families, if
they have one, and remain away from
home to do missionary work. In time
they return and go on with their Fegu-
lar duties. At the present time there
are a number of young men working

WISCONSIN COW
A MIGHTY FORCE
Dairy Products for a Year
Amount To Over Seventy
Nine Millions.
DAYS OF OLD CHURN GONE
Number of Cheese Fac
tories and Creameries in
County Worthy of Note.

In the biennial report of the work of
the Wisconsin dairy and food depart
ment commission just issued, Commits
sioner j. Q. Emery shows The amazing
statistics that the dairy business of the
state, in the form of milk and its
products, amounts to the stupendouS
sum of SIS, ,000, 800 annually.
There are / 1928 cheese factories, zoos
creamerles, lightweight skimming sta
tionS and nineteen condenseries in the
state. The number of cows contribut-
ing in these cheese factories, creameries
and condenseries is ,256, ,315. The total
number of cows in Wisconsin for the
year 1909, as given in the year book of
the United States department of agri-
culture is 100000
Showing the evolution of the dairy
business in Wisconsin from its Begin
ming, Mr.. Emery draws a contrast
with conditions as they existed when
the COW, strawStack, the farmers wife,
the dasher churn and the country
grocery store, brought an income TO
the farmer and his wife of 5 to 10 cents
per pound for the product, taken in
brown sugar at 25 cents pound and
other things in proportion. The COWS
freshened In March or April, ran at
large, and were dried otfin November
or December. There was no winter
dairying.

Long Strides In Dairying.

"Contrast present conditions lin Wis
consin with those of the beginning of
the industry" eXclaims the commits
sioner. "Where there were at that
time no cheese factories, no creameries,
no skimming stations, no condenseries,
there are now known to be in Wiscon-
sin 1888 cheese factories, 1905 cream
cries, lightweight skimming static ms
and nineteen condenseries. The man.
ufacture of butter has been transferred
from the farm to the modern Wiscon-
sin creamery. The manufacture of
cheese has been transferred from the
pioneer farm to the modern Wisconsin
cheese factory. The Oldtime native,
scrub, no-purpose COW, poor and plas-
tered on both fianks and hips with
filth, is being superseded by clean
we'll kept, high grade or purebred,
special. purpose COWS of the dairy
breeds-not only profitable to the own
er, but beautiful and highly attractive

BURGLARS ENTER
THE BERG STORE
They Open the Safe and
Disappear With The
Money From Box.
TAKE ONLY LARGE BILLS
Entrance Gained to The
Building Through a Win
dow at The Rear.
From Thursdays Daily

Some time during last night, rob-
bers entered the II. &. Berg dry goods
store on Third avenue and stole all the
large money in the safe They entered
the building through window in the
rear of the store, which was found open
this morning. Arthur Potter, who is
employed there before and after school,
was the first to discover any indi-
cations of robbery. Noticing the
window open he ca led to Mrs. Wells
asking her if it was left so the night
before. Mrs. Wells thought it was
strange but nothing more was said un-
til another clerk, Miss Sorge, arrived
who went TO the safe found the money
gone. The robbers were very kind
and took only the large money leaving
a few one and two dollar bills and
some small change.
Mrs. II. e.. Berg, who has charge of
the store, always leaves the safe closed
but not locked. She thinks that If
robbers can enter the store and get to
the safe, if it is money they are after,
they will get it if they have to blow
up the safe. The window through
which an entrance was made is guard
ed oy heavy wooden doors which were
pried open, and the window opened in
the same manner. The building was
approached with care as nothing
but faint foot prints could be discover
ed and as there was ice beside the win
dow where they stood while breaking
in, no clue could be obtained from this
source.

Took Only Large Bills.

The money was in small wooden
box in the safe with the silver at the
bottom and the bills on top. There
were several ten and five dollar bills
which were taken from the pile and
the one and two dollar bills left. There
is an allnight light near the safe but
the desk would protect anyone from
being seen from the street, which
would give the thief an opportunity to
sort the bills. Mrs. Wells stated that
some time ago suspicious looking
character was in the store and pur-
chased small article of some descrip-
tion and that she could not help MOTTO
ing how he looked all around the store
as if sizing up everything.
