NO ENLARGED CAPITOL
COMMISSION DECIDES NOT TIC
MAKE CHANGE IN BUILDING
PLANS OF STATE HOUSE.
Structure, Which viii Cost 1000,
600, to Be Fully Completed
in Four More Years.

Madison The capitol building
commission will not change the
plans of the new statehouse so as to
provide for a larger assembly cham
Der. The present chamber in the
west wing of the new capitol will
continue to be used by the lower
house of the legislature and a small
en- chamber for the senate will be
prepared in the south wing, which is
now under construction.
The plans nave been partly
changed SO as to provide for larger
rooms for legislative committees
than those first adopted The SEN
ate at the last session of the legis-
lature reduced the number of it's
standing committees from seventeen
to five, but increased the member
ship of each committee, thus requir-
ing larger committee rooms but
fewer of them. To meet this change
the plans for committee rooms for
the senate were altered by the cap
itol commission Two of the four
wings of the new capitol have been
finished, another is about to be
rooted and the steel work for the
central or dome part has been fin
ished. 1t is planned to complete the
wing now building and the dome
part before the next legislature
meets, leaving only one wing, the
north, to be built hereafter. 1t is
estimated that it win take the entire
fourteen months intervening before
the next legislature meets to com
plete the work now in hand. All of
the work on the new capitol has been
pushed faster this year than at any
time since it was begun about six
years ago. The new capitol will
probably be finished within four
years and will cost about $7,000,000.

5ABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed TO itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in plmples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when ! removed his
shirt.
we tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. | Used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before / could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too think the Cuticura REM
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

cura Soap and Ointment are sold by

WRECK STORE BY DYNAMITE
Robbers Are Thought to BE Respons-
ible for Destruction of Business
Building al Leon.

La Crosse. The store of A. T.
Root at Leon, Wis, the largest bust
ness place in that village, was com
pletely wrecked by dynamiters. Two
charges of dynamite were exploded
with the result that the safe was
blown through the roof and the in
terror of the building was completely
destroyed. Robbery is supposed to
have been the motive The dyna-
miters got no money, but caused a
loss of many thousands of dollars to
the store and in valuable papers.

ss40,235 IN STATE
TAXES IS RENTED
FINDS I'M TREASURY SuFFlCI-
EMIT TO HELP BEAR COST
OF GOVERNMENT.
LEVY is $4,000 BELOW 1911
Governor Discovers There Is Money
Enough on Hand to Nearly Meet
Appropriations Made at the Last
Legislative Session.

Madison.-A remission of $780,
235 from the tax levy as recently
made was ordered by the state board
of assessment which consists of Gov.
McGovern, Secretary of State Frear
and State Treasurer Dahl.
This means that instead of total
levy of $5,557,255.95 the actual to-
tai levy will be but $4,617,02O.95;
that instead of an increase of S961.-
996.42 over the total levied in 1910
for the tax of 1911, the increase is
only $21,761.42. 1t means more
than this, for the amount RENTED
exceeds the amount of all the in
creases of special appropriations
made by the legislature of 1911 by
S6,973, and were it not for the in
crease of the amount levied for spe-
cial charges against the counties the
total of the levy would be consider
ably less than that of a year ago.
The remission is made possible by
the large income the state has re-
ceiyed from the inheritance tax and
other sources of indirect taxation.
The present remission is of the
special appropriation for the new
capitol, S450,00O, and the appropri-
alton for the normal schools, $780,
235, making total of $940,235.
The condition that made this re-
mission of tax possible, almost neces-
sary in fact, was that there appeared
in the treasury an extraordinary
balance on Oct. 81, 1911, of $2,499,-
1923, sum in excess of that in
the same fund on the same date a
year ago by s1,231.73S.S9 and ST.
651,667.51 more than was in that
fund on the same date in 1909. Fol-
lowing is a statement of the bal
ances in the general fund on Oct. 81
of the three years:
1909 .......$ S47,470.77
1910 ..... 1,267,399.95

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANscoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.


Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the Hce-president of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. AS his firm have
turnover of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the Importance
of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
Of the importance of the oat crop and
also Of the winter wheat crop, as we'll
as barley. Winter wheat during tho
past few years has been great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
lnces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart, from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:--
In land of such great sweep. and
Of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm-
ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie

emboldened the raisers of this one all

stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 100000 900 bushels, so

During the months OF July and Au-

crop will be a splendidly paying one.
