Our Streets

Since the Journals few remarks
on the condition of the City streets,
in an issue of several weeks ago,
we have had the same fattered
sensation over the influence they
seem to carry, that the hair
remedy manufacturer must have
felt when he received a letter with
this testimonial: Dear SIR
Before using your remedy my hair
was continually falling out, and l
was sorely afflicted with dandruff,
but since using two bottles of your
restorer all that has stopped
I'm bald" At the time we
published the remarks referred to,
there were spots on few our
streets where one could almost
enjoy a slow drive. Now a trip
around the city is one con tinuous
round of bumps and jars. A local
autoist had a country pathmaster
out for drive in the pathmaster's
district recently, and the driver
was complaining of the poor
condition of the roads, but was
Gained into shamefaced silence
when the countryman remarked
that 1t might be well for the auto
lists of River Falls to try their
influence at home before raging at
the neighborS. 1t don't seem
fair to the citizens who keep their
lawns spick and span, and their
homes neat and clean to have their
property bordered by a muddy or
rocky or bumpy road which has
more the appearance of a factory
town alley than public highway.
This city, as has often been noted,
has long streets of handsome
residences, and the highways
should be kept up to match the
rest.

Moser was pitching in great form
for the locals, striking out fifteen
batters and allowing but four hits.
Three of these hits came In
succession in the third inning, and
gave the visitors their lone tally.
Sergein, Lakeland's slab artist,
pitched good game also, striking
out twelve and allowing but six hits.
But Pearl" got in bad with the

Finest Capital of Any State

The new $6,0OO,000 capitol build
ing of Wisconsin will be the hand
soonest structure of its kind in the
United States, accor ding to Lew F.
Porter, secretary of the capitol
commission and supervising
architect. With the exception of
the Wisconsin capitol the most
pretentious structures are those of
New York, which cost about
500, 600, 900, and of Pennsylvania,
which cost $8,0OO,000. Neither in
size, design nor architectural
beauty will either of the two eastern
buildings excel that of Wisconsin.
The cubic capacity of the state
capitol will be equal to that of the
New York building and will exceed
that of the Pennsylvania structure.
The great dome of the new build
ing rises 800 hundred feet and four
great wings, five stories high,
extend at the points of the compass.
The extreme length of the building
east to west and from north to
south will be 426 feet. The ground
covered is about 10000 square
feet, of which the dome includes
10000. The capacity of the entire
building exclusive of approaches,
terraces and areas will be 100000
cubic feet.
Vermont white granite, quarried
at Woodbury., VT, the hardest
granite in the country, is used for
the exterior walls. Vari- colored
granite, marble and stone are used
in the interior.
The building has been under
construction seven years and it is
reasonably certain that it
will be finished by July l, 1916.
Two wings, the east and west, have
been completed. The south wing
will probably be finished this year.
The steel frame of the dome is
erected and will be inclosed before
1918. The north wing of the old
capitol, the only part of the build
ing still standing, will be torn
down next year and the foundation
for the new wing laid. The new
wing will be built in 1914 and 1915.
The interior and exterior decora-
tive work will represent the best
work of living sculptors, and will
cost small fortune. The painting
in the Assembly and Senate
chambers will be by world famous
artist, and will cost $4,000. The
paintings in the Governors
chamber, which are reproduction
of the reception room of the ducal
palace in Venice, were made by
John BALM, who received SIS, 900
for the work. Frank D. Millet, a
Titanic victim, was under contract
to produce the painting for the
supreme court chamber for $50, 900.

and the Convention will conclude
its business with big mass meet
ing on Friday night. which will
be addressed by the National
Leader of the Insurgents, J. L.
Sunbeam of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Sunbeam speech at the

night of last week was considered
by all to be the most educational
and most convincing Woodman
booster-lecture that any delegate
present here ever heard. Many
delegates had decided to quit the
Order January LIST, but every one
resolved to stick to the Order after
hearing Mr.. Sundean's speech.
The Insurgent Leader is not
radical but is conservative, and his
address is full of vigor and
optimism, facts, figures and solid
argument; and was of a much
higher character than anybody had
expected though the delegates had
expected something worth while
The Woodmen Camps In North

a man is an Administration man or
