necessarily mean just twice as much

WANT NEW CONVICT LAW.
Resolutions were passed asking the
legislature of Illinois to enact a law
placing convicts Of the state peniten-
tiary on public highways for a period
Of more than three out of five years, as
the health authorities have establish
ed the fact that congested conditions
In the state penal institution are in
furious to the health Of the inmates
and are a detriment to them, both
mentally and physically. These reso-
lutions also ask that the convicts shall
not work more than eight hours a day.
Another clause requests that all
guards and bookkeepers for outside
work on public highways shall be cit
liens of the state and eligible under
the civil service act A copy Of these
resolutions is to be presented to Gov
ernor Charles s. Deneen.
FIGHT ON BRICK.
Alderman Denger of Davenport,
chairman Of the paving committee
there, addressed the federation on the
subject Of brick, and in an effort to as
sist the union men of this city in their
| fight against the use of the trust brick,
a committee of 10 was appointed to
meet with the Davenport men on
March 6, at which time list will be
compiled of all firms in the state who
are manufacturing union bricks. An
effort will be made TO discourage the
use of brick made by non-unlon men.
NO POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT.
1t was decided that the federation
paper would accept political advertis-
ing from candidates but would not en-
dorse any particular man or men until,
possibly, at the close of the campaign.
Committees Of three from each of the
tri-cities were appointed to charter a
special car and make arrangements
for a trip to Muscatine, the plan being
to send up a delegation of about 700
union men to assist in the political
fight now being waged in Muscatine
against the button workers. The trip
will be made on Sunday and every eff
fort made to push the socialistic ticket
at that place. The democratic and re
publican parties in Muscatine have
both combined on q citizens ticket
which upholds the button workers,
and for this reason the union men feel
they should do all In their power u
assist their brother workmen. A big
brass band will be taken to furnish the
noise for the occasion.

q1artzlte range is striking feature of
stream erosion and its origin probably
takes us back in the earliest period of
the erosion of the ancient mountain
ranges. 1t is possible that this valley
across the range was cut out of the
rock by river during the later period
of erosion which followed the burial
of the ranges under the horizontal
sandstone and limeston of this region.
But 1t is my belief that it was cut out
during the earlier period of erosion
when the quartzite mountain ranges
were first eroded. The gap III that case
was later filled with the sandstone
during the general submergence, and
during the second period of erosion
the gap was again eroded. 1t seems
probable, therefore, that the Devils
lake gap in the quartzite is a fossil
valley in the same manner that the
ranges are resurrectei or fossil noun
tains of the early Archean period.
There are many picturesque glens
and gorges along the lower slopes of
the east end Of the Baraboo Bluffs that
have been developed by running water

No Volcanic Action.
The large boulders that lie along the
slopes of the cliffs in the vicinity of
the lake are the result of disintegra-
ZION and wea!hering and have rolled
down from the cliffs above. Their
quantity and general distribution to-
day is approximately the same as
when the ice sheet blocked the valley.
with the notable exception, the deface-
ment of the cliffs wrought by the
qu rries now operating in this locality.
There are no effects of volcanic ac-
ton in the immediate vicinity of the
lake. Volcanism was undoubtedly
connected with the early upheaval of
the quartzite into mountain ranges.
But since that early period this region
shows no records of volcanic activity.

the ridges, cliffs, valleys and lake are
the result of the ever-present work of
running water, the snow, ice, frost
