DEATH Of v.
H. ?. DAMI1z

Walter Henry Paul Damitz, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs William F. Damitz of
this city, died Sunday, June 8, 1913
at $50 p. M. as the re 5ult of two op-
erations for appendicitis. Walter Da
mitz had been sick about six weeks.
When it was decided that an opera
tion was absolutely necessary to save
and prolong his life. He was ope1
ated upon twice in an endeavor to
restore him to health, but his con-
dition was so bad that it was impos-
Sible to resuscitate him. Walter was
born, in the town of Seneca on Febru
ary %, 1897 and was therefore sixteel
years, four months and sixteen days
old. He was attending the public
i'm the first year high school. He was
a good hard working, industrious boy
in spite of his poor health. His par
entS and relatives have the sympathy
of this community in their bereave-
ment. Besides his parents he leaves
four brothers and three sisters, to
mourn his death. The funeral service
took place on Thursday afternoon
from the house 1465 Grand Rapids,
at l o'clock, and from the west side
Lutheran church at 1:30 O'Clock, Rev,
VIM. Nommensen officiating. Burial
took place in the Nekoosa ceme-
terry.

THE WATER
POWER BILL

MADISON, Wis, June 9.-NoW tha.
until January has been defeated by
the assembly, the special commit
tee on conservation of the senate is
steadily at work on the water power
bill. The committee desired until
next January to make certain that
none Of the rights the people have in
the water powers of the state are
granted away, and, on the other han.
that no encroachment is made upon
the rights of the individual property
owner, so that the law may stand the
test of the courts. If the law passed
by this legislature falls in the courts,
waterpower development will be tied
up until 1915. The waterpower law
passed in 1911, was declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court in
decision that took away some of
the rights it was hoped the state re
tanned Just how much remains may
take another decision of the court
to determine. The special commit
tee is determined that if it shall err
because of the lack of time, it shall
be upon the side of the state, and
that no bill shall be passed which
will grant away any rights in the wa
ter powers which, by the supreme
courts decision, may still reside in
the state
A recent decision by the United
States supreme court, it is said, may
materially change the legal situation
in this state as to water powers. Thu
decision was made in a Michigan case
and was to the effect, according to
reports. that riparian owners are not
| the owners of the water power II
is thought by members of the eommi
tee, who teuegraphed Immediately TO
copies, that this may reserve to Wis.
consin important rights lost under

What might have resulted in a Sc
riouss accident was ayerted Saturday
by Officer Hewlett when he jump
ed on moving automobile and stop
ped it. The machine had been lett
standing near the Wood County bank
by its owner and the engine was
running. The automobile started 10
move ahead and was headed straight
for a wagon loaded with a ton of
dynamite. Had the automobile run
into the horses, no one knows what
might have occurred. Officer How
Lett saw the machine start, caught uE
to it before it had gone tweny feet,
jumped on the running board and
stopped the car
There is a state law regarding the
leaving of engines running when no
one is in the car. Following is TAX
en- from the Statutes:
Section 1636-50-"All motor powe"
shall be stopped on any automobile
or other similar motor vehicles, viii e
left unattended on the public high
way" The penalties for the viola
tion of the above are, for the first
offense a fine of not less than $40,
nor more than $50 and for the sec
ond or subsequent offense committed
within a year, a fine of not le2s
than S25 or more than 800 or COM
mittment to the county Jail for not
more than so days or both fine and
Imprisonment.

OUR TRAFFIC SQUAD

It consisted of but one man, but he
was THERE. All day Saturday one
of our handsome police officers had
been stationed at the intersection
of Vine and Second street. Officer
Hewlett kept the traffic on the pro-
per side of the street in making the
turn from street into the othre. Auto
mobiles, motorcycles, horse drawn
vehicles and bicycles We're made to
make the turn on the proper side of
the street.
The officer had to do some strenu-
Gus work because, as he said, there
are many drivers of both horses ard
motor driven vehicles who are not
city broke" and it took lots of his
time to teach these people that they
are living in a city and not a little
country village. 1t looks good, looks
like a city to see the two streams Of
traffic, each on its proper side Of
fthe street.
Many of the auto owners as well as
the owners of horses said that it was
good thing to regulate the traffic
on the streets and especially at this
corner. People say that they hope
the good work will go ON and the
work of enforcing the laws pushed.
Complaint has been made from Bak-
er street residents about the speed
ing on that street late at night by
the boys" who have been up to Ste
yens Point and who come home 'lit
up and full of hilariousness along
about the midnight hour.

court on the law OF 1911
PURE FOOD.

Dairy and food commi ssioner Eremy
has won an almost complete victory
for his recommendation to the legis-
lature
The most noticeable part of this
victory, Of course, is the defeat of
the corn syrup trusts attempt to
repeal the requirement for the label
ing Of glucose as such
Another bill, No 627, A. Introduc-
ed by Mr.. Rosa, and which has been
signed by the governor and become
a. law, is calculated to aid the dairy
and food commissioner in the prose
cution of violators of the pure food
laws. From the standpoint of the
commissioner this bill was weakened
by amendments.
The commi ssh oner also secured
passage by the assembly of a law
materially strengthening the weights
and measures statute passed in 1911.
This bill is likely to be concurred in
by the senate with little material
change.
