BIRDS ON FARM


b. L. A. in st. Louis Globe Demo.
crat: For generations the economic
value of birds in agriculture has beer
known. Scientific investigation ha,

makes its home on the farm is almost

The more small birds you can in.

BRIDGE AFiRE bitches TRAIN
Crash at Trempealeau-AIl
Escape Injury.

La Crosse.-Oriental limited, No. 81,
the finest train on the Great North
ern-Burlington system. a coast train
from Tacoma and Seattle to Chica,
go, lies heap of ashes and twisted
iron at Trempealeau bay, long bridge
is totally destroyed by fire, 800 feet
OF track are torn up, the main line
of the Hill system is out of commits
sion between La Crosse and Mime
apolis for an indefinite period, and
yet not single person of the 100
passengers and army of railway en-
ployes was injured sufficiently to re-
quire the use of bandage. The re-
markable escape of passengers and
crew is the most striking feature Of
the wreck, which occurred twenty
miles north of La Crosse. Despite the
vast damage to property, despite the
fact that the train was running fifty
three miles an hour at the time of
the accident everybody is safe.
The train was travelling at it's limit
or speed to make up lost time and
had just rounded the bay above the
village of Trempealeau, when the
trestle work ahead, over which an
other train had passed but forty min
utes before, was discovered afre.
Engineer A. J. Hadley and Fireman
Guy Atkinson, both of La Crosse, at
the risk of their lives, stuck to their
posts. The engine passed the bridge
safely, but the tender and the six cars
behind it were thrown off the tracks.
The wrecked portion of the line may
be out of use for a long period, one
Burlington official expressing the opin-
ion that loss in property would be
100000.

BADGER STATE TOBACCOCR0P
10000 Acres of Land In Wisconsin Ia
Devoted to the Product--Averaae
Yield Medium to Good.

Madison.-A majority of Wisconsin
tobacco growers are finishing their.
harvest season and in a short time
it will be completed. "Medium-to.
Good" is the way James Johnson, to.
baccO expert for the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Wiscon-
sin, terms the average yield in a
greater number of the fields of the
state. While number of excellent
crops will be harvested, the general
average of yields will not be as high
as was expected earlier on account of
the favorable growing conditions
which prevailed during much of the
season.
In many instances the leaves of the
plant have presented a stunted and
narrow appearance, due in most cases
to partly diseased roots. Some crops
have made practically no growth since
planting, and inspection revealed them
to be badly infected with the root-rot
disease. Spread of this trouble will
mean heavy financial losses to the
tobacco growers. 1t has been est.
mated that the tobacco acreage for
this year is about 10000 acres, of
which $4,000 acres is in Dane county.

NEW DUTIES FOR THE POLICE
Fourth Glass City Chiefs Also Truant
Officers, Is the Opinion of At
torney General.

Madison.-That chiefs of police
and police officers in cities of the
fourth class are required by the pro-
visions of chapter $50 of the laws
of 1918 to act as truant officers is
the opinion of Atty.-Gen. Owen, given
to Dist. Atty. Charles Kirwan of
Rusk county. The law says that
these officers may act in such ca
pacity, but the encouragement
holds that the word may, where the
rights of the public are involved,
means must.
In an opinion to the Wisconsin
grain and warehouse commission the
Encouragement holds that the pro-
vision of the law which permits that
commission to use $4,000 annually
to promote the grain trade Of Su-
perior is not cumulative. 1t appears
that the commission heretofore has
not used all Of the $4,000 which the
law permits and now wants to ap-
propriate not only the $4,000 for
which the law provides, but to use
that portion of which has not been
used in former years. This, the at
torney general holds, cannot be done.

La TOILETTE GIVES
REASONS FOR VOTE
SAYS NEW TARIFF SCHEDULE Is
LESSER EVIL THAN THE
PAYNE-ALD LAW.
CALLS IT THE FIRST STEP
Senator States New Bill Marks Begin
ming Of Long Battle Against Monop-
oiy-Partisan Politics Should Have
No Place, He Concludes.

Madison.-"No tariff measure,
with it's thousands of rates, can at
tain perfection. The question pre-
sented at this time is choice be-
tween this bill, with it's general level
of duties on manufactured products,
reasonably just to home industries,
except as I indicate, and the iniqui-
tous rates imposed ON the American
people by the Payne-Aldrich law" is
the way Senator La Toilette begins
his summary of the reasons why he
voted for the democratic tariff bill,
given in a signed editorial which
made it's appearance.
ION this issue, which involves the
general welfare of the millions in ev-
cry walk of life, partisan politics
should have no place." he concludes.
"The contest is really between the
people and entrenched privilege. It
is an unequal struggle, and calls for
the highest service which men now
in public life can render to their
country.
their relentless oppression Of the
public have been materially aided by
the monstrous tariff law enacted four
years ago. Their power will not be
broken when that law is supplanted
by the present bill. But it's passage
is significant. It marks a change. 1t
is the winning of the first battle in
the long war which must be waged
against industrial monopoly. This
warfare is not against legitimate
business. 1t is against the tyranny
of unlawful combinations, over pro-
tected, over stimulated, over capital
lied. Our Industries will of neces-
sity feel the strain of reimbursement
to q normal healthy basis-a basis
of actual values. Through this period
we must pass to secure industrial
peace and real Industrial prosperity"

BAKER LAW TESTED,
IN SUPREME COURT
CASE OF FRANK ZODROW
REACHED ON APPEAL FROM
MILWAUKEE.
STATE HOLDS LICENSE VOID
zodrow's Attorney Attacks the Law as
Unreasonable Because 1t Confines
Saloons to Places Which Were oe-
cupied in 1907.

Madison.-The validity of the Baker
saloon license law was argued in su.
preme court when the case of Frank
Zodrow VS.. the state of Wisconsin
came UP on appeal from the municipal
court Of Milwaukee,
The state contended that the license
issued to Zodrow was void as violating
the Baker law, for the reason that it
was issued in excess of the number of
saloons allowed under the law. The
other side maintained the law was UNI
reasonable because it confined the sa-
looms to the same places they occupied
June 30, 1907. J. e. Messerschmidt
replied that this provision was intend
ed to meet condition present when
the law was enacted and was for
temporary purpose only. Any NUM-
cipality, he said, may at any time de-
termlne to issue no more licenses
than the ratio permits.
Mr.. Messerschmidt insisted that the
legislature may regulate the liquor
traffic in any way desired, or even pro.
hlbit it altogether. He called "falla-
cious' the contention that the law Gre
ates monopoly in favor of the owners
of property.
The plaintiff was represented by for.
mer Mayor David S. Rose of Milwau.
kee and the state by Asst. Dist. Atty.
Harry Sloan of Milwaukee and Asst.
Atty.-Gen. j. E. Messerschmdit of

Carnegie.-The completion Of the
United States Steel Co.'s mammoth
mills twelve miles south of Superior
bay, on the st. Louis river, is attract
ing people throughout the northwest
for the purpose of going into business
or for making investments.
The United States Steel corporation
will, in a short time, have completed
a mill that will no doubt shift the
center of the steel industry to it's last
westward move, located as this plant
is, within only a few miles of three
fourths of the ore of the United States
at the present time, and where great
deposits are daily being unearthed and
where the railroad facilities for han
ding the finished product are unex-
celled.
Carnegie rests on the level upland
joining the st. Louis river, opposite
the United States Steel company's
plant. It is from fifty to sixty feet
higher than the river and is beauti-
fully situated.

passenger accommodations to this
point from the twin cities and other

buildings are being erected; street car
lines have been surveyed and every
thing in general is being put in readi-
ness for rush.
The United States Steel corporation
has built a belt line from the steel
plant across the st. Louis river and
through Carnegie town site, to it's ter
minal yards, three and one-half miles
to the east of the bridge, thence on a
line nearly due east and then north
east to Allouez bay, where it has three
miles of dockage that will be used for
the handling of it's products. The sub
sidfary companies will erect along this
belt line, where they can get the fin
ished steel from the plant and place
their finished product on the market
via the different railroads that connect
with the belt line, making it possible
for such concerns to place their prod
uct on any one or all of the nine differ
ent roads, and not to exceed haul of
fifteen miles.
