DEMAND HEAVY CUT
IN LPWOOD RATE
Complaint Made to State Board
Against Present Charges.
MAY AFFECT PAPER PRICE
Organization of Manufacturers Which
Secured 20 Per Gent Reduction
Four Years Ago Seek to Repeat
Performance.

Madison.-A demand for lower
pulp rates in Wisconsin involving
every railroad over whose lines pulp
wood is shipped, is made by the Wis
consin Pulp and Paper Manufactur-
ers' association representing between
forty and fifty Wisconsin paper mills.
The rates demanded are sweeping,
and If granted by the Wisconsin rail-
road commission might lower the
price of print paper to consumers.
Four years ago this organization
brought complaint before the COM
mission asking for lower rates. One
OF the most bitterly fought cases that
has ever come before the commission
was witnessed, eliminating in n re-
duction of nearly 20 per cent in the
rates as they then stood. The new
complaint asks for additional reduc-
tions of almost 20 per cent. II asks
that pulpwood be placed on the same
basis as saw logs In transit. Under
the transit and milling clause, the as
ISOLATION claims that where railroad
company handles the product shipped
TO the mill as we'll as after its manu-
facture, a much lower rate should be
granted. The present tariff is 2 X
cents for the first ten miles, with a
! slight increase for additional dis
tances.
The result of the decision. four
years ago affected not only the rates
OF Wisconsin, but produced cor
respondingly lower rate for ship
ments from upper Minnesota and
Michigan to Wisconsin mills. 1t is
estimated that il this complaint is
granted, thousands of dollars will be
saved paper manufacturers operating
in upper Wisconsin.

DIE TOGETHER IN WOODS
Shotgun and Poison Bottle Found
Beside Bodies Indicate Either
Murder or Suicide Pact.

Milton Junction. The finding of
the bodies of William Kunkel, 25
years old, and Mary Figler, 20 years
old, in the woods near this place
leads the authorities to think that
there was a suicide pact between
them or that she killed him and then
took her own life.
KuEkel, who is a farmer, left his
home, taking his shotgun with him.
His continued absence from his home
resulted in search that ended in the
finding of the bodies three days later.
The bodies were lying close together.
Kunkel had been shot in the head
but there were no marks on the girls
body. A small bottle found near the
bodies is supposed to have contained
poison. The shotgun, which had
been discharged, was found on the
ground close to Kunkel's body.
The authorities are at loss for a
motive for the double suicide o. the
murder and suicide, though it is
thought that family troubles might
have caused the act, as Miss Figler
was Kunkels sister in law. Kunkel
is survived by widow and a two
month-old son.

SPRING SHOOTING UP AGAIN
Wisconsin Advocates of Second Sea-
son for Ducks Base Their Argu-
ments on me Illinois Law.

Madison.-The Wisconsin Fish and
Game Protective and Propagation
league held meeting here for dis
cussion of proposed legislation af-
fecting sportsmen. One proposal
certain to come up Is an open season
for the shooting of ducks in the
spring, and an open season for the
shooting of quail
State Game Warden John A. Sholts
in an interview prior to the meeting
expressed his opposition to both pro-
posals. Spring shooting OF ducks
and quail, he declared, is disastrous
to the full propagation of the birds.
The principal argument of the La
Crosse hunters who favor it, he said,
is the fact that Illinois allows it, and
that the birds flying southwark from
Wisconsin fall prey to Illinois MIN
rods.
Warden Shots contends that the
preservation of the birds in the
spring means more to hunters in Wis
consin generally than the temporary
qualification of some hunters desire
to shoot.

as most practical in the interests of
conservation of ores.

port on soil conservation and the de-
struction of noxious weeds; Prof. f.
A. Birge, one on fish and game con-
servation and one on drainage, pre-

NEED MONEY FOR LEvEE
