Destroyed While Popuace Stands
BY Helpless.

Superior.-Fire swept the length of
the one business street of Gordon. a
village of 400 people, thirty miles
south on the Northwestern line, and
left trail of blackened ruins. The
place, from a business standpoint, has
been wiped out. The flames also in.
gaded the residence portion, and two
homes were destroyed. The loss is
placed at 100000. Many of the places
destroyed were uninsured.
The fire originated in the general
store OF Kenneth MacLaggan, and the
structure was soon Quilted The vol

misunderstanding j. c. MacKen-
zle of the state board of agriculture is
sued the following report on the con-
dltion of farm crops in Wisconsin on
June l.
While heavy rains and continued
cold delayed the planting of corn and
potatoes, the condition of crops on
June l is more favorable than the re-
port issued from this office on May |.
The general average condition of win

TIRE state is only per cent; the dam
age to fruit trees and small fruits by

1t is estimated that the corn acre

gardiess of the backward season, the
percentage planted on June l being 70

cabbage will show an acreage almost
equal to that of 1912.
Reports from the northern section
OF the state show All increase Of 12 pei
cent IN cleared lands during the last
twelve months. Crop conditions are
excellent, with prospects better than
the average at this season of the year.
The reports further show that farm
improvement is moving forward rap
idly.
Many farmers are realizing the ne
cesslty of providing for future wood
supply by giving careful attention to
second growth timber and practicing
rigid economy with the present supply,
although IN many localities little
thought or attention is given to the
conservation of the timber lot on the
farm.
While quite heavy frosts have been
reported in some sections of the state,
apple trees and small fruits have suf-

RATE REDUCTION is DELAYED
Companies Require More Time and
Are Granted Extension by State
Railroad Commission.

Milwaukee.-TheM Merchants & Man
ufacturers' association has been mott
fed that the reduction in express rates
viii not go into effect until July Is,
instead of June 10.
The express companies, it is claim
ed, required more time to change
their schedules, so as to make the new
rates go into effect simultaneously In
all parts of the state. The commits
sion satisfied itself on this point and
granted the extension of time. The
new order will necessitate the com
pilation and printing of an entire Sc
ries of tariffs and the distribution Of
same to express agents at every sta
ton.
The decision in the action brought
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
association on Dec. 20, 1909, against
all express companies operating in
the state was rendered on May 20,
1913, by the railroad commission.

Paradoxically, the serious condition
in the country districts in this county
was brought about because of reform.
A crusade in the city drove the disor-
derby element out and it found refuge
in the farming districts on the main
travelled roads.

LIEUT.. GOV. MORRIS
IS OUT FOR SENATE
ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR RE
PUBLICAN NOMINATION AT
1914 PRIMARY.
AFTER STEPHENs0N'S SEAT
Report That Lieutenant Governor
Would Try for Governorskip Is Put
at Rest by Declaration-Mc Govern
Declines to Make Any Comment.

La Crosse-'I hereby announce that
snail be candidate at the primaries
IN 1914 for the republican nomination
for United States senator. The report
having gained currency that | would
be a candidate for governor or sena-
tor, feel, in justice to all concerned,
that | should make known my inten-
tons at this time.
THOMAS MORRIS"
In making the above announcement
Lieut.. Gov. Morris said it spoke for
Itself and that no further elaboration
was necessary.
Lieut.. Gov. Morris announcement is
a surprise to no one. 1t has been ru-
mored for weeks that he would be a
candidate first for governor and then
for United States senator and then
rumor has vibrated from time to time
between the two offices.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton lies in the fact that early in 1910
Morris had planned, with the approval
OF most of the La Toilette leaders, to
run for governor. When later Nc
Govern announced his candidacy for
the same Office, thereby creating a
condition under which it seemed that
II both remained in the field the pro-
gressive forces would be split, endan-
gering the nomination of either for
governor, Morris voluntarily, it is
claimed, and against the advice of
many of his friends, withdrew his
name from consideration The friends
of Morris, having in mind this Incl
dent of the 1910 campaign, are insist
ing volubly that the lieutenant gov
ernor now has the first call to the
united support of the party.
Mr.. Norris said that his announce
ment must not be understood as mean
ing that the campaign is now on. He
Will not begin for a year, he said, and
in the meantime the lieutenant gov
ernor, as soon as the legislature ad-
journs, intends to return to La Crosse
and resume his law practice. His
early announcement is merely accept
ed as move to get in on the ground
floor in the coming contest for the
nomination
Informed of the candidacy of Lieut..
Gov. Thomas Morris for the 1914 NOM,
ination for United States senator,
Gov. McGovern declined to state
whether he would be a candidate for
the same nomination. He refused to
state whether he would be a candidate
for any office at the next state cleo
