possible means at its command the
development Of the dairy industry
in Northern Wisconsin. 1t should
promote the establishment of cooper
alive dairles and should impress up
on farmers already settled up here
that their future salvation is il the
cow, that it is possible for them to
make this vertically the land OF
milk, if not of honey.
This is the age of specializ .tion as
has been said rep ,atedly nd even
suites must specialize. Wisconsin
Is already doing this and it only re
mains for the whole state TO get to
gether on that one purpose and
policy.
1t is fortunate that conditions are
compelling Wisconsin to lay broad
and subs tar tial foundations for its
future prosperity. 1t may be IA tedi-
Gus business and fewer fortunes
may be made through rapidly aG-
vlhcing property values. The best
way to boost is not to blow and
boost but Q to build-to build from
the foundation up.

Rain From a cIoudIsss sky.

When rain falls from cloudles'
sky it is generally believed that the
moisture has been brought by the wind
alta great elevation. In the south At
lantlc it has been known to rain for
more than an hour while the sky was
entirely free from clouds. In the island
of Mauritius it is not at all uncommon
for rain to come from cloudless heav-
en-. Slight showers fall during the
evening when the stars are shining
brightly. 1t is thought by some that
these showers are the result Of parti-
cIes of Ice formed in the higher region
of the atmosphere melting and falling.
Others attribute it to currents Of warm
and cold air travelling in opposite di-
rections, with the result that the lat
ter condenses some of the moisture In
the former and causes IL to fall In the
form of rain.

Up Against tho judge.

He was a Scottish advocate, and In
his pleading lie had several times pro.
nounced the word "enow" fol
enough"
"Mr. -" the judge remarked al
length, ''in England we sound the
'ough' as 'uff'-'enuff,' not 'enow.'"
"Verra weel, ma lord" continued the
self possessed pleader, "of this we
have said enuff, and l come, ma lord,
to the subdivision of the land in dis
pute. 1t was apportioned, ma lord,
into what in England would be called
pluffland-a plufiland being as much
land as a Pullman can pluff in one
day. and pluffmen"-
But his lordship could not Withstand
the ready repartee and burst into a
laugh. saying:
"pray proceed. Mr.. -. We know
'enow' of the Scottish language to un-
derstand your arguments" - London

What is Extravaganza?

The greatest handicap and stumb-
ling block to aggressive Legislation
during The coming session at Madi-
son will be the old, old misery whiu
extravagance. In the last cam
pagn the reactionaries were be-
moaning the fast that the expenses
of the state in the last ten years had
more than tripled and they denounc-
ed the commissions and the univer
sity for having wasted the resources
of the people. On the same cloth
would be the supposition that a
business man who is eApending
mocc money today than ten years
ago is squandering his possessions :.
Just the con trary is probably true
and he is getting twice the returns
for the moneys disbursed us com
pared with his profits of zen years
back. If the state showed an annual
expenditure Of 30 million instead Of
Is it might still be doing business
most economically. 1t is altrgeth"r
matter of net profits. Unfortun-
ately. perhaps, it is not Away
possible to distinguish or discover
the proceeds of any particular in
vestment. The University exten
sion work, the business of the vari-
Gus commissions cannot be reckoned
ia dollars but it cannot be doubted
that a more intelligent cit'z 1nship,
better farming and business methods
and comfortable and enj oyable con-
ditions in city aud country will. soon
result in a wonderfully prosperous
state. A mis- rly, short>ighted
policy on the part of the legislature
would defeat itself ~

R;uht and Left.

The old English words right and
cleft have come into more and more
general use. and that, too, with the
help of other than English people. For
some years the words of command
have been changed on the ships Of q
German transatlantic line. Instead of
ordering a change Of course by the old
terms. 'starboard" or port as the
case might require, the same orders
are now given by the shorter word
fright or left" The change was
made, in the German navy at an earlier
day.
1t was not long ago that the English
word "larboard" was used where we
now use port" There Ia no difficulty
in seeing that two such words as
"starboard" and "larboard" were unfit
for their use, as they sounded too
nearly alike. They were also too long.
There Is need Of short, sharp words.
which are easily distinguished. Often
there Is no time to correct an error,
and mistake Is fatal. Right and
"left' are short and sharp enough. If
they differed more in sound they
would serve all the better.-St Louis

PALAVER
OF A
PROGRESSIVE.
The Best Way to Boost

Real estate men of northern Wis.

mote the interests of the undevelOp
ed parts of the state The real es

the advancement of this region by
the amount of real estate sold. The

which tells in the ,long run, is not
that which produces immediate
sales aud induces a few poverty
stricken settlers to squat on cheap
lard which they are unable to de
velope successfully. Our farmers
stitutes, our experiment farms
and the agricultural department. are
slowly but surely putting Northern
Wisconsin on its feet. 1t is assum-
ed that the $780, 900 will be spent in
bringing the actual adyan tages of
the north country to the intention
of the public in an honest but al
tractive way. But even then it car
not be hoped to duplicate the results
of the western land promoter. The
West has one tremendous .advant.
age over us when it comes to adver
tising,-the advantage or remote
ness from the homes of prospective
buyers. Nine tenths of the charm
and lure Of the west in the mind OF
the man who is pl aiming to move is
that it will be SC different. He
puts his imagination to work and
pictures for himself the land of his
dreams. Highly colored literature
helps because. while he believes that
he is making allowance for over
statement and misrepresenta tion he
] is nevertheless in a mood to regard
the most commonplace things as
picturesque and different. He
wants something different. ;"
Now for the middle western man
who is looking for location this re-
gion offers little or 10 basis for pipe
dreams. Canada promises big re-
| turns in short time while here we
can promise only a comparatively
slow growth /. in prosperity. Few
men with means to go elsewhere
come up here. AS conditions exist
TODAY no amount Of liter allure can
overcome our natural handicap For
time we must be content to &C
slow until it has been demonstrated
that Northern Wisconsin has advan
tages that cannot be duplicated any.

THE people of Washburn and

The people of Washburn and
Bayfield, have a good big kick
coming against the service that
is being handed cut to them by
the Omaha railway company.
During the past two or three
weeks there has has been COM
plants coming in from all sides
to the effect that the Omaha train
coming to this city will not wait
for the night passenger train on
the main line if that train
happens to be over a half hour
late and consequently passen-
gers coming to this city are
compelled to go into Ashland
where they must remain over
night and wait until the coming
morning to get train to this
city. The Omaha, it is UNDER
stood, is doing this to avoid
putting on an extra train crew.
The law says that a train crew
must have eight hours rest and
delay at Ashland Junction at
night means that the Omaha
would have to put on an extra
crew if they are to get their
train out of Bayfield, in time the
following morning. But the
travelling public seem to be the
only ones that have to suffer.
