THIRD SHIFT
To Be ADDED

In order to advance the tunnel at
the North Carson at a rapid
rate a third shift is to be added this
week. The formation it is said is
changing and more rapid Roadway is
being made in the long tunnel. The
electric compressor and drills are do
ing good work. rendering It possible
to employ the third shift.
The work at the old mine has been
steady all winter and it is expected TO
have the tunnel into the main ledge
that shows in the shaft early this
summer. Some very hard granite has
been drilled during the winter which
necessitated the use OF power drills.
With the softer formation coming IN
and the new shift being added, It
looks like the North Carson property
will be showed ahead at a more rapid
pace.

TOBACCO NOTES

According to one of the promin ant
leaf buyers of the state. Dane, Vernon
and Crawford counties show an increase
of ten per cent in acreage of tobacco.
In the state, the acreage viii be about
normal. Some fields in this section are
being topped. Shedding and harvest
viii be upon this locality in brief per-
iod.
The tobacco crop in Wisconsin pre-
sents an encouraging outlook and the
plants show remarkable growth as a
result of the heavy rains and warm
weather, according to James johnson
of the horticultural department of the
college of agriculture of Wisconsin,
who has recently made survey of con-
ditions in all parts of the state. The
northern sections present as favorable
conditions for good crop as do the
southern sections, and MIR johnson be-
lieves the present year will be among
the best that Wisconsin tobacco grow
ers have experienced for many years.
Some damage to the plants is evident,
however, from flooding and hail in GER
tain localities. While cutworms and
heat injury have neeessitated entire re-
planting in some cases, the growers in
general report little difficulty ngetting
a good, even stand.

A MOTHER SUDDENLY CALLED
Mrs. Wig of Avalanche Expires Be-
fore Medical Aid Reaches Her

AT the home in Avalanche. on the
evening OF July 80, where the family
has resided for forty-one years, Mrs.
Gertrude Louise Wig, wife of Nels G..
Wig, died suddenly from bursting of a
blood vessel. Although this good wo-
man had been ailing, her death came as
great shock to the community and
the family. Mrs. Wig was 10 years and
z months old, born in Norway. coming
to this country Al years ago, locating
where she died, among the friends and
scenes where her life had been devoted
to neighborly deeds, the rearing of a
good family and the service of God.
The bereaved husband, four daughters
and three sons survive to revere her
memory. The daughters are Mrs. T.

Coon Prairie last Saturday, conducted
by her longtime pastor, Rev. II. Hal
verson, and the remains were borne TO
their final resting place by the sons
and sons-in-law.
The family request the CENSOR to
acknowledge for them the many kind
courtesies extended in memory of their
dear one and to them in their sorrow.

ESTABLISHED 1855
WAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Viroqua Ladies Escape What Seems
Certain Death

The Misses Fay Smith, Grace Adj
lington and Mary Webb, and their chap
erone, Mrs. j. A. Moen, returned Fri
day from an outing above La Crosse
with three young men of that city.
They repc t as thrilling an experience
as one c5cid wish for. The party left
Lacrosse by motor boat Monday even
ing, endeavoring to reach their cottage
before the storm broke, but failed.
The heavy gale lashed the river into
ehoppy waves which drowned the en-
CINE and filed the craft. With no oars,
drenched by rain, whipped about at the
mercy of the wind and in danger of
capsizing at any moment, they drifted
down through the darkness. Moored
just above the dam were two large
barges, and toward these the wind and
current carried them. They missed
the first barge, but as they passed the
second, one of the boys found crevice
in the side and held the boat while the
others fastened it and climbed to the
top. Had they gone over the dam,
death for all seems certain. From IL
until 3 O'Clock they were marooned
while the storm beat upon them. Cap
tain Thomas, whose boat was moored
across from the barges, saw their pre-
dicament but could not come to their
assistance until the waves had subsid-
ed. After the storm had passed he
rescued the party and made them as
comfortable as possible. "All's well
that ends well, " but it is an experience
they will not soon forget.

81 ATE ROAD MONEY FOR lsl4
Counties May Yet Take Action on
Road Appropriations

That the state of Wisconsin is bent
on road Improvement with vengeance
can surely be inferred from the funds
available for highway and bridge con-
struction in 1914. 1t totals the neat
sum of So. 800, 900. 1t is not yet too late
to obtain improvements during next
year. Four methods a4s provided for
securing state aid:
~ Towns mayhold special meetings
at any date priorito September LIST and
vote tax for state aid purposes for
1914 Such special meetings may be
called upon petition of not less than
twelve free holders on three weeks no.
tice, and taxes so voted draw aid in the
same way that taxes voted at the spring
election do.
ca Groups of citizens residing in
the county may collect subscriptions
in cash for any certain Improvement
and prior to August 18th pay them in
to the town treasury oft town In
which the road lies, in which case the
! town within certain tax limits) is
forced to levy tax for an equal amount
and apply for state and county aid,
Such method produces an improve
ment costing six times the amout rails
ed by subscription.
81 If the subscribers do not wish
to force the towns to levy taxes in ac-
cordance with ~, they may collect a
sum not less than $500. pay it over to
the town board, and the town board
may petition for state and county aid
just as if the money was voted by the
town, This money produces an i'm
provement costing three times the
amount of the subscription.
"a The fourth method is for the
county board to hold meeting on any
date prior to October 1st and vote to
do certain pieces of construction with
out having the towns take the initiative
the county voting to pay two-thirds of
the cost of the work, and one-third to
be paid by the state.
In every case the improvement must
be made on the county system of pros
pective state highways laid out by the
county board.
Vernon county received from the
state in 1912, SIS, 1877; and will receive
$40, CTS during this year. Total amount
received from the state by all counties
in 1912 was S453, AIT; 1913 total viii be
