| forestry board who have returned
from four days trip in northern
Wisconsin report that within the las,
four months practically $4,000 acres
have been added to the forestry re-
serve, at prices ranging from $3.50
to $3.50 per acre
Besides this, the state has under
consideration the purchase of a 12,-
000-acre tract in the vicinity of Lit
tie Car lake, near Tomahawk, from
an old lumber company. 1t is be-
lieved this transaction will be con-
summated in a few days as a result
of the boards visit.
While at Tomahawk the forestry
board viewed the agricultural lands
which have been purchased as a part
of the forestry reserve, and now
Dean H. L. Russell and Prof. H. C.
Taylor will attempt to work out a
feasible plan for leasing these lands
to settlers.
The land problem of northern Wis
consin will be one of the big issues
before the next legislature. One of
the features of the work of the state
board Of public affairs is the inves-
tigation of the problem of how best
to place these lands, of which there
are nearly 100000 acres in north
ern Wisconsin, for the best use of
settlers.
During the last three weeks the
state has planted about 10000 trees
in tracts which have been burned
over during the past year. Last year

WILL NOT INSURE CAPITOL
State Adheres to Deficiency Fund
PIan-Deficit Caused by Loss of
Old Capitol Is Wiped Out.

Madison.-Contrary to the policy
followed by most states, the state Of
Wisconsin will not insure its $4,000
600 capitol, now under construction,
through private companies. The pol
icy of insuring the statehouse, uni
versity buildings. the state asylums
and other public institutions by a
deficiency fund process rather than
by private companies was instituted
during the reign of Gov. La Toilette
and has been continued by his sue
cessors.
The old capitol burned in 1904
and left a deficit of 100000 in the
fire insurance fund Most states
would probably have abandoned such
an experiment with an apparently
disastrous law, but Wisconsin chose
to cling to this principle, and the
accumulations of subsequent years
have wiped out the deficit.

Madison.--The state barber board
of examiners has driven the scum

from the state, in the words of q
recent report filed by Secretary Chas.
L. Wehlitz with Gov. McGovern. The
secretary claims that there has been
gradual improvement in the serv-
ice offered patrons of shops, and
adds, 1T is remarkable to learn how
perfectly the license law builds up
young BARRIERS who are still subject
to examination. The number of vio-
lations has been gradually decreas-
ing and the fees charged make the
board self-supporting.

FORM POLITICAL ALLIANCE.
Democrats and Prosressives Of Con
aress Agree on Tariff Program.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The formation
Of democratic progressive republi-
can coalition in the senate and a tenta-
tive agreement between house and sem
ate leaders resulted in program that
viii provide speedy action on pending
tariff measures. Agreements are In
sight on the iron and steel revision
bill. the wool revision bill and the ex-
else tax bill. On the sugar tarin
measure an agreement IL hardly ex-
pected at this session.
The coalition in the senate was an
nounced at a caucus of the democratic
senators held yesterday. Senator Sim
mons, the democratic leader. proposed
the fusion md the caucus endorsed the
plan. After canvassing the sentiment
among house democrats the senators
framed program which II carried out
will send to the president the iron and
steel bill, minus the provision repeal
ing the Canadian reciprocity law: q
wool bill almost identical with the
measure which he vetoed last summer
and the excise tax bill minus the Cum
minis tariff commission amendment and
with provision repeating all Of the
Canadian reciprocity law except the
pulp wood and print paper section.
On the sugar bill the democrat-pro
eressive republican combination will
stand by the Br!stow-Lodge bill
passed by the senate. and az the house
democrats demand a more radical re-
duction OF the duties than this meas
ure affords. the sugar tariff may re-
main unsettled when congress adj
journs.
Little trouble 10 expected in carry
ing out this program. The democrats
and progressives control the senate.
and II 10 not expected that the regular
republican leaders will attempt to In
terfere with their plans. The repub-
lican leaders believe the president will
veto the wool bill because 1t carries a
scheme of ad valorem duties and the
steel and iron bill because the tariff
board has not yet reported on this
schedule. II the sugar tariff revision
