Of FREIGHT
BY ELECTRIC POWER
Another List of Railroads That
Are So Equipped.
This is Being Done All Over the Coun
try and will be on the Chicago
Short Line.

It having been urged by some who
were opposed to the voting of aid for
the new Chicago Short Line electric
railway, at the time the special cleo
tions were held in North and South
Lancaster, that freight trains could
not be hauled on such a road by elec-
trio power. the officers Of the new
company have gone to considerable
trouble to secure incontestable proof
that railroads all over the United
States ARE transporting their trains
every day-both passenger and freight,
by big electric motors, and the man
who will try hereafter to argue to the
contrary must prove himself either
intensely ignorant or deliberately mis-
stating facts, in order to deceive
others who are not properly informed.
Photographs of passenger and
freight trains. just as they look in
their everyday work, hauled by the
big electric motors, have been placed
in conspicuous places about town
during the past two or three weeks,
and a number of new pictures have
been added during the past few days,
with others yet to come.
These later ones show passenger.
freight and stock trains on Illinois
and Iowa electric roads The Herald
has been glad to aid in this work Of
education by publishing lists of the
roads where such traction service is
in operation, for the building of this
road is of great Importance to the
people of this county, and the
features concerning it should be
considered honestly and sincerely.
It will bear the closest investiga-
tion and offers advantages that no
other system of promotion with which
we have ever been familiar possesses.
Everybody is urged to study the
question fairly and earnestly, and if
he cannot see his way clear to aid in
it's advancement, to at least oppose it
fairly and intelligently. If we fail
to get this road it will be many years
before we shall ever have such a good
F, opportunity again. Perhaps

A THREE DAYS. DRIVE
THROUGH WEST GRANT
A Beautiful Country Seen al
Most Interesting Time.
Hundred and Thirty Mile Tour Through
Rich Agricultural and Beautiful
Scenic Section.

The publisher of The Herald, &C
companied by his wife, made a most
delightful drive through the north
western part of the county last week,
traversing portions of North Lancas-
ter, Little Grant. Mt Hope, Patch
Grove. Wyalusing, Bloomington,
Glen Haven and Beerown townships.
The weather was ideal for driving
and three days we're very pleasantly
spent amidst the splendid scenic and
rich agricultural section embraced In
that portion OF Grant county. Part
of a day was spent in the new state
park in the town of Wyaluslng. Its
beauty spots are at their best now,
and the view from Point Lookout is
magnificent. From that elevation
one can plainly see Prairie du CHEN,
across the Wisconsin river in Craw-
ford county, and trace the lines of
railroad leading thereto-tne Burling-
ton road running close to Point Look
out OIL the west and crossing the river
Immediately to the north the Mil.
waukee road traversing the north.
shore of the same river, and the other
branch of the Milwaukee road skirt
ing the west shore of the Mississippi,
on the Iowa side. The entire river
fat for miles and miles, including
the junction of the two rivers,
the Mississippi and the Wiscon-
sin, are spread out in panoramic view
to the gaze of one standing on the
rocks or grassy summit of Point Look
out, and it is said to be the most
charming view to be had anywhere
upon the river.
The state has done nothing yet
toward improving the park, and it is
doubtful whether anything will be
done for some time to come, unless it
be to provide better roads leading
across it, 10 make the principal view
points more accessible to visitors.
It is to be hoped that nothing will
be done to prevent the conservation
of its present ~wildness and natural
beauty-particularly the wooded por-
tions and the Indian mounds and
other peculiar geological formations, in

Wedding Reception.

A very pleasant evening was spent
at the VIM Hoffman home on Friday,
Oct. 18th, where a reception was held
for Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Mayne.
Miss Jennie Hoffman and Mr..
Arthur Mayne of Beetown. were mar
ried on Wednesday, Sept. 25th. at one
O'Clock. p m. in the Presbyterian
church at Mason City, Iowa. after
which they visited at the homes of
the BRIDES sisters, Mrs. Dora Cardy.
Clear Lake. Iowa. and Mrs. Mae
Moore, North Bloomington, until
Friday, Oct. 4th, when a reception
was given them at the home of the
brides parents. Where about seventy
five guests, friends and relatives of
the bride and room assembled to wish
them all the happiness the future
might hold for them. The spacious
home was we'll lighted up stairs and
down Mr.. Moore's auto stood in front
of the house with the lights lit and
the young people found amusement III
playing games on the we'll lighted
lawn.
Good music was rendered on the
organ by the groom. who is an accom-
plished musician. games were played
and of course some jokes must be
played upon the bride and groom as
we'll as upon seine other young people
present.
A lap supper was served which con
sisted of sandwiches, pickles, coffee,
cakes, ice cream, fruit and candy
served in such abundance one scarcely
felt able to do justice to so many
palatable viands. The young people
both girls and boys assisted gracious
ly in passing around the supper, after
which they repaired to the porch to
eat.
After supper some of the guests de-
parted and amusements were again
sought.
Clothes pins and a limited amount
of tissue paper and pins were given
to each. fhe clothes pins were to be
dressed as dolls for which a first prize
and a BOBBY prize were offered,
fun reigned while everyone displayed
their skill in dressing doll babies.
One of the young ladies received
the first prize and the groom received
the BOBBY prize which he surely tried
hard to win.
In the wee hours of the morning
the guests departed delighted with
the evening they had spent and leav-
ing many good wishes for the future
of the young couple.
Mr.. Mayne. the gloom, is the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Mayne of
Beetown. A young man of excellent
character, a jeweler by profession and
Miss Hoffman, the bride, is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hoff-
man also of Beetown and has been one
Of the able corps of teachers in this
county for several years.
The young couple both frugal and
indutrious are we'll worthy of the
wishes for success and happiness that
attend them in their home building
where sterling character and good
habits will count much in bringing
about that perfect harmony and
happiness SO much desired in the
home.
Mr.. Mayne will hold a position as
jeweler at Cambridge, H., where
they will be at home to their friends
! after Oct. the Is. A Guest.

which the park richly abounds.
There is a driveway, leading from
Robert Glenn's house, a couple OF
miles up through the wooded hollow
on the east side of the Burlington
road, all the way to the point, and
another road which comes in from the
northeast, almost to the point. In
time it is likely that an electric line
may be built to the park, and if go
it is destined to become a very popular
place to visit.
Farmers are all busy throughout
the country with their fall work now.
Corn binders are seen all over the
country and the corn shredders and
clover -hullers are quite numerous.
1t is a matter IF great surprise to
observe the number of silos that are
being built this year. Dozens and
dozens of them were seen, either in
course of construction or completed
and being filled with the shredded
fodder for winter feeding. It is only
within the past few years that
farmers have come to a full apprecia-
tion of the value of this sort of feed
for cattle, and now that they realize
it's value they are losing no time in
arranging to take advantage of it.
Cows like silage better than green
soiling crops and give more milk
when fed upon silage, as has been
demonstrated by careful experiments
conducted at the college of agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin.
Larger yields of silage can also be
grown per acre, and it has an added
advantage in that it can be gathered
at a time of year when other work is
not so pressing as it is in some seas
sons.
We spent one night in Bagley,
another in Glen Haven and a third in
Beetown. Buth of the river towns
Bagley and Glen Haven-look thrifty
and considerable building is notice.
able. New residences are being built
or fixed over and there is a spirit of
life and enterprise noted that in
dicates prosperity and contentment.
Beetown is making some very much
needed improvements upon the roads
leading into and out of that village,
in three or four directions. Some of
the worst hills have been cut down
more or less, leveled and widened,
and a coating of broken rock or
macadam given them. which will be
a source Of joy to all who have to
travel over them, be it farmer, auto.
mobilist, traveller or pedestrian.
Crops in general look very good
throughout west Grant and everything
looks prosperous. One sees great i'm
provement being made in the way of
new barns, new farm houses, better
fences, etc and fine iocks and herds
of stock are seen wherever the eye
reaches. The country is beautiful
at this season, the first frosts hav-
ing changed the colurings upon the
trees, and the man or woman who
cannot enjoy a drive of a few days
now, such as the architect of these
columns and his better half have
had, the mingling with and making
acquaintance with the good people
in the various places visited, has
no peace in his soul and no apprecia-
tion of the beauties of nature with
which this section Of the country is
so richly blessed.
