How do we reach this conclusion? It
is very simple.
First, the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad Company never does things
by halves. With it 1t Is a good Job or
nothing, on this point we may feel
certain. and they have agreed with the
NJ & ST. L. in its building.

Our city commission has given this
viaduct question much time and hard
work. It realizes its Importance and
necessity. Our state railroad commits
sion has been much interested, and has
insisted that this viaduct be built in
justice to the safety Of the public.
The Marshalltown Club has been ac-
tive for over two years in its work to
bring about this result. 1t will take
time. Of course. but the railroads and
our city commission are pushing it as
hard al possible with the hope ana ex-
pectation that within q year or eigh-
teen months at the outside our viaduct
will be open to travel. The Iowa Rail-
way and Light Company has agreed to
extend its street car system south over
the viaduct. 1t is to be hoped our new
lights may extend on over this struo-
ture. If this can be accomplished what

ten in Building Of Safe Crossing Over
Northwestern and M. e. St. 1. Rail-

That viaduct Will Be Built.
BY r. W. MCREER1.

After many years Of waiting we are
at last to have viaduct on ihlFo
avenue, covering the tracks OF the
Northwestern and Minneapolis & St.
Louis railroads.
Almost beyond the recollection OF
our oldest inhabitant we have oeen
divided as city into the north ana
south sides. The barrier which caused
this division was not an imaginary
Mason and Dixon line, but rather a
ctern. dangerous, and disagreeaole
reality.
In early days. when our city was
small, and the traffic on our railroads
in keeping, little was thought OF an
occasional wait at Center street or
Third avenue for the passing Of train
or. perchance, if the small boy was
bringing the family COW home, the en-
gineer called a halt until all were
safely over.
Times have changed; our city has
grown rapidly, and is still at 1t. and TO
even a greater extent has the traffic
over our railroads increased. making
the conditions Of travel both for the
railroads and the public. more danger
Gus and inconvenient as the years have
gone by, until today the congestion at
Third avenue has become vital and
serious matter to all concerned.
Conditions Have Changed.
AS the city has grown our incoming
people and business institutions have
looked more and more to the south side
for homes and factory sites. The great
objection, however confronting all who
desired to locate here, has been the
lack of a safe and convenient means
Of conduct across the tracks.
1t has been shown by figures
from actual observations taken about
year ago, that Third avenue, at this
point, is blocked to the public over 40
per cent of the time, and 1T has surely
grown daily worse since. There is no
crossing from Third avenue east to
Twelfth avenue and none west until
one reaches Center street, consequently
the congestion OF travel piles up at
Third avenue almost every minute OF
the day.

Has Stimulating Influence.
It is a safe assertion that no other
one county project has had the same
stimulating influence on all the
branches Of agriculture as has this fair.
Its annual exhibits have brought out
and assembled the choicest products
Of the farm. the best individuals Of the
f1ocks and herds. The contests OF skill
in animal husbandry. the growing OF
crops. seeds, fruits. and vegetables, anu
its educational and art branches pro-
mote interest and enthusiasm.
1t has furnished a large opportunity
for merchants, manufacturers, and
wholesalers to get closer in touch with
thousands Of their local trade and con-
sumers Of their products. The con-
gregating together Of such vast num-
bers Of people has made possible ways
and means Of expanding local trade

There were no epidemics, and but
two deaths resulting from contagious

Political war is raging in Wiscon-

important work of the legislature at

ly criticising Governor McGovern for
acting arbitrarily and not in good
faith in dismissing Ekern from office
on the ground of political activity.
This report marked the close of two
days investigation conducted by the
senate, McGovern declining to attend
this probe in person or by counsel for
the reason that he did not believe
the senate had jurisdiction to investi-
gate the case.
On the day following the action Of
the senate in clearing Ekern, Judge
E. Ray Stevens in the circuit court
of Dane county, announced his deci-
sion in the case brought by Ekern to
secure an injunction to restrain Gov
ernor McGovern from forcibly removing
him from office. When the first at
tack was made on Ekern's office sthis
court issued temporary restraining
order against the governor, but the
court declined to make this a perma-
nent order
Both Sides Claim Victory.
While both sides claim victory as a
result of the stand of the court, it is
apparent that Governor McGovern Is
seriously considering another attack
on the insurance department in order
to install Lewis A. Anderson, whom
he named as Ekern's successor. The
senate refused to confirm the appoint
ment of Anderson, but McGovern i'm
mediately reappointed him and is as
Stunning that his appointee is the legal
commissioner
Ekern made such a successful stand
against McGovern and Anderson
when the first attack was made that
it has been limited that the next time
war is declared that the state militia
may be called upon to remove Ekern
and install Anderson. This rumor
was given color because of long con-
ference between McGovern and Az
jutant General Boardman following
the decision of the court.
Governor McGovern and Anderson
maintain that under the decision of
the court the governor is no longer
under any legal restraint. John A.
Awkward, attorney for Ekern, how
ever, has given an Interpretation to
the decision which amounts to vic
tory for Ekern and removes the pos
sibility of further assault upon the In
surance department. Awkward says
that while the court ruled against
the permanent restraining order, it
pointed out that the governors power
in the matter ended with the removal
from Office of an official and that the
governor is clothed with no authority

The bill provides for ten acre farm

this farm Mr.. Johnson proposes to

Assemblyman Anderson's bill to
