To BUILD DAM
At BRADLEY
Wisconsin Valley Improvement
Company to Conserve Waters
OF TemahaWk River.
(Rhinelander NeMsl

On Tuesday w. E. Brown of this
city met with Walter Alexander and
A. A Babcock of Wausau at Bradley
and looked over the proposed site for
a dam to be erected by the Wiscon-
sin Valley Improvement company a.
bove the 500 track near Bradley on
the Tomahawk river. The annual
meeting of the company will be held
May at Wausau, and the work will
then probably be definitely decided
upon. The dam will be an immense
structure and will serve to conserve
the waters so that they can be avail
able for water power and paper mill
uses.
Messrs. Pride and Tweedie of Toma
hawk met with the executive commit
tee at Bradley.

OLD SETTLER RE.
SPONDS To CALL

Henry LeTendre a long time resi-.
dent of Port Edwards and one of
Wood county's oldest settlers, died
at his home on Friday, May 5th of
old age. He was well known to all
the old settlers of Wood county and
in the Wisconsin River Valley. He
was born at Nicolet, Canada, on
January 6, 1880, and came to Visions
sin in 1849, and located in Wood
county where he has been a resident
ever since. He was one of the first
white men to locate in Grand Rap
ids. His first occupation in this
city was logging and making shaved
shingles. Later he followed farming
in the town of Sigel and later years
in the town of Port Edwards, where
he had built for himself and family
comfortable home and a fine farm.
He was married to Miss Esther Ole
son in 1856, who still survives him.
He leaves besides his wife two dau-
ghters to mourn his death, Mrs. Dan
Kenyon of jamestown, n. D., and Mrs
w. A. Corriveau of Port Edwards,
who was with him when he passed a
way. His funeral services were
held at SS. Peter and Paul church
in Grand Rapids, Monday morning,
at 1000 O'Clock, Father VIM. Reding
officiating.
Mr.. LeTendre was one of those
sturdy men of toll, of a genial ma
ture, that won for him many friends
life. He was a kind husband
good father and a good citizen, who
will be greatly missed in the town of
Port Edwards, where he was a resi-
dent so long.

WHITING AUTO
MOBILE CAR

Louis Goodness, the well known
and popular blacksmith surprised
his friends Monday by the advent
of a new Whiting Auto, runabout
which he will use for his pleasure
from now on. We cannot youch for
the rest of this story as to whether
i is the experience of our friend
Goodness, or not, but some young man
who recently purchased new car
and had it taken to Wheir's Livery
stable on the West side to have it
washed and cleaned preparatory to
taking it out on its first trial, had
quite an experience with it. When
everything was in readiness the own
er got into the seat to run it out of
the horn and the barn door appeared
too small and part of it was knocked
down when the car left the barn
One fender and one headlight on the
car was damaged in the operation,
but the car with assistance was final
ly gotten out of the barn.
Once outside he invited a gentle
man friend of his for a trip down to
the south side They made the trip
with some difficulty, but the little
side issues were overlooked on ac-
count of the fact that it was a new
car and the owners first experience
in running it. OF course we would
not insinuate that this was Louis
Goodness and his new car for it might
Of been somebody else You might ask
Louis about it anyway. He will con
fess if it is so. It's a nice car any
how.

WOULD SAVE SWISS SCENERY
League Asks the Government Not to
Grant Concessions for Any More
Alpine Railways.

The Swiss Scenery Preservation so
ciety has presented to the govern
ment a memorial urgently calling
upon 1t not to grant concessions for
any more Alpine railways. OF late
strong feeling has arisen among the
more thoughtful and intelligent Swiss
that their country has already been
sufficiently exploited. Many beautiful
passes and minor SUBMITS have been
disfigured by overhead electric rail-
ways or besmirched by smoking en-
gines. yet concessions for fresh noun
tain railways do not cease to be de-
manded. Quite recently as many as
fourteen were before the government
at one time.
What has now aroused the Swiss
Scenery Preservation society to ener-
getic protest is the demand recently
addressed to the government for a
concession for b cogwheel line from
Glion. via Brochet. to Sonchaux, with
. branch line from Brochet to Gaux.

India represent 2,000 species Of man.
kind, that not only is each species
opposed socially and Intellectually to
the rest. but that they practice to-
ward each other an ostracism which
has never existed in England between
the greatest Swellfoot and the most
downtrodden hind; and, further. let
him definitely apprehend and reflect
upon this fact, that the whole com.
pany Of British civil servants, in
eluding military officers holding civil
appointments, is only 1900. India Ia
governed by Indians, tremendous
army Of them, with just 1900 British
citizens at their head. One might far
more truly say that India employs q
handful of Englishme1 to direct her
own government than assert that
England holds India in the grip Of
an iron hand.
Influence Of Caste Everywhere.
l have seen nothing of violence or
even rudeness on the part Of English
men toward the natives; but l have
no doubt that instances Of this kind
could be cited and perhaps proved.
I have seen. known and l see 1t every
day l live in India, and every mile !
travel in the country; instances Of
the most intolerable exclusiveness
and appalling pride between native
and native. Consider these two facts:
A Brahmah priest will not visit q
low caste person, however extreme
his need; and q high caste doctor will
not go to the bedside of a dying
coolie. Thanks be to Cod" said to
me a benevolent and educated Hindu.
"for the hospitals set up for poor peo-
pie by the British government" A
postman will not deliver letters into
the hands Of a lower caste man than
himself; he filings them down on the
ground. Democracy has no express
sion whatever in India except through

Free Plano Tuning.

Landlords are cursed up hill and
down dale for neglecting the welfare
Of their tenants" said the man. but
heaven knows they promise to do
enough. Anyhow, our landlord does.
The circulars he issues every little
while setting forth the advantages to
be gained by living in one Of his
houses winds up with this alluring
statement:
insects exterminated and pianos
tuned free every three months
1T was the plano proposition that
fetched us. All the other promises
for providing comforts and conven-
fences have been made by a thousand
other landlords. but the free tuning
Of pianos was new and worth investi-
gating."

Hardly day passes that we do

equal the stupendous sum of $780,.

come to the wage earners, and 1t is
fair assumption that 1t must have
come first to the employing classes, 1t

cause the farmers can market almost

t1E cnarm, as well as the prOp-
lens, of India lies in its
most extraordinary variety. A
flying politician, taken in
hand by Bengal, sees in
finitely less in India than a British
workingman sees Of Germany con-
Quoted through manufacturing cities
by a tariff reformer. 1t is most
foolish and most dangerous thing
for a man Of little observation, small
imagination and no reflection to race
through one or two Indian cities and
then express himself on Indian pol
1tics with more authority than man
of science would speak Of chemistry
after life Of incessant investigation.
1t needs actual experience to appre-
ciate this amazing variety Of human
types; and yet until this variety Is
realized in the mind Of a European
there can be no intelligent under
standing Of anything that has to do
with India. The very first thing
man must do who would form rational
opinions on Indian politics or carry
In his mind true picture Of Indian
color and Indian feeling is to realize
that the 3O0,O0O,O00 Of humanity COM
prising the empire of India are not
one race or two races, but are 1000
species Of mankind as different from
each other as snakes from elephants,
tigers from freflies and mosquitoes
from buffaloes.
ri nf Rrtf
You cannot dogmatize about India.
You can no more speak Of India as
one complete and single thing than
you can exhaust botany by smelling
a rose or paying sixpence for bunch
of lilies. India is infinite. A man
with seeing eyes begins to perceive
this battling truth on his very first
walk through a street, and he Is at
once on his guard in forming opin-
ions, and most diffident in venturing
to utter even the least uncertain Of
them. He who speaks Of India as
nation of Hindoos and Mohammedans
would speak Of the consultations as
consisting Of Orion and Ursa Major.
There are many good people in
England who think of Indians as two
peoples, Hindus and Mohammedans,
purposely kept apart and purposely
held down by an immense army OF
proudful. iniQuitous and atrabili-
GUS civil servants exported
year by year by the India
office. Let these good people
bear in mind that the inhabitants OF
