Afraid of Our 'Juice. "

Boscobel is in a panic-or rather
some of the Boscobellers are in sort
of panic-because that interesting
suburb is to be served with a high
grade of electric Juice from this
city. The contract to furnish the
electric current for lighting Boscobel
has been signed, sealed and delivered,
and transmission poles are set. Now
a bunch of Boscobel citizens propose
to petition the council of that city to
submit to the voters, by q referen-
dunn, the whole matter. Pretty late to
kick up that kind of disturbance,
seems to us.

FROM WINTER
in SOUTH AND west
DR.. and Mrs. S. E. HasseII Were
Three Months on Coast.
Then They Spent Several Weeks
With Their Daughter and Family
in New Mexico.

DIR. and Mrs. S. E. Hassell return
ed last Friday from the west and
south where they have been for the
past five months. They were at Los
Angeles three months, just looking
around the rest of their vacation was
passed in Watrous, New Mexico, with
DIR. and Mrs. w. T. Brown.
They have been in New Mexico
many times since their daughter, Mrs.
w. T. Brown, has lived there, but
this was their first visit to Southern
California. And they were very
much taken with that country. DR..
Hassell says that they witnessed the
, so-called floods that visited Los
Angeles last winter, and while lot
of water fell in the three days and
nights that the deluge lasted he
thinks reports were exaggerated. A
great quantity of water was precipita-
ted on the city from the nearby noun
tains, but aside from some inconveni-
ence to travel for a day there was
nothing to it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Brown, of this
city, were with the Hassells for a
fortnight in Los Angeles. They, too,
were charmed with the city and its
surroundings. They are still on the
coast, but expect to reach Lancaster
the last of this month.
DR.. Hassell reports that his SON
in-law, DR.. w. 7. Brown, is doing a
great work in relieving tuberculosis
sufferers. His sanitarium has 81
cottages and these are full all the
time. The most of these patients
come from Chicago, being sent there
by large wholesale houses and manu-
featuring establishments. These con-
Germs take an interest in their en-
ployes, and if any of them develop
tuberculosis they are hustled off to
New Mexico.
DR.. Brown has come to be quite an
authority on the treatment of this
disease, and goes to Chicago once a
month to deliver lectures and to
examine suspected cases. Last Fri
| day night he spoke before 600 en-

Glen Haven is strong on writing,
or the teachers in that good town are
specialists. 1t is not quite an acct
dent that the town carried off first,
second, third and two other writing
prizes. Special work has been done
in those schools, and it has been of
the sort that counts.

Western Union Moves.

Beginning last Friday the Office of
the Western Union company was
moved from city hall building to the
railway station. Why the change
was made at this time is not now ap-
parent. At first it was given out
that the new arrangement was due
to the agreed dissolution of the Bell
telephone and Western Union merger,
but later on this was denied. 1t is
said that only three like offices in
Wisconsin have been separated, and
the presumption is that they were
changed because they did not pay.
There's reason probably.

BACK FROM WINTER In
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
MIR. and Mrs. John S. Wright Return
from Fourth Season in San
Diego-NoW War Scare.

Mr.. and Mrs. John S. Wright re-
turned from the west, last Friday.
They were again in San Diego, Calf. /,
and while there lived in a furnished
apartment and kept house as if they
had been at home. The past winter
has been the fourth Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright have passed in San Diego,
and they are beginning to feel quite
at home there.
There were as many as so persons
from Grant county in that city the
past winter. Of course many from
here have become permanent resi-
dents. NARROW Kidd and family own
home there, as they do here. They
like the climate of Southern Cali
fornia very much.
Mr.. Wright says the past winter
has been very pleasant one in San
Diego. They saw nothing of the
heavy storms that deluged parts of
Southern California. Mr.. Wright
made two trips into the border land,
but saw. nothing that looked like a
war with Mexico. He says the
people out there are not the least bit
exercised about the consequences of
war, if one should come on. Wis
consin is pretty we'll represented in
that section, but not like some other
states. The people from Iowa had a
picnic at Los Angeles at which $500
Hawkeyes registered. That's going
some, according to Mr.. Wright, and
we think he's wright.

FIVE ROAD CREWS
ARE ALREADY AT IT
Weather Is Pretty Tough, but
Work Progresses.
Six Teams and Dozen Men Con-
stitute the Average Gang
Uniform Wages Paid.

In spite of the bad weather that has
been handed out of late, no less than
five gangs of men and teams are now
at work making better the public
highways of Grant county. Highway
Commissioner Henry Mink has started
out to do things, and the prospects are
good for lot of permanent work be-
fore the summer closes.
Glen Haven was first to have atten-
ton. There the grading, such as was
necessary, had been done, and the
work was entirely surfacing. A
plenty of gravel was at hand in the
bed of a dry creek. A dozen men and
half as many teams comprise the crew
on this job, with Ora M. Kinney as
foreman. The work is progressing so
favorably here that the job will soon
be completed.
At Muscoda the second gang is at
work. This, too, is surfacing, and
crushed rock from Bridgeport is being
used. This is limestone, and makes,
a good surface, although many per-
sons say it will not last any too long
The road being finished leads out to-
ward Castle Rock, although for a.
space it lies in the sandy bottoms of
Wisconsin river. C. S. Landon is
foreman on this job, and he has about
the same sized crew as the one at
Glen Haven. .ss.r
Out in Little Grant a gang is
finishing the grading of Bruss's hill.
This work was thought at one time to
be done, but when the freezing and
thawing of winter had done their
mischief it was found necessary to do
some more leveling. Half a dozen
teams and dozen men are finishing
the grading, and the crusher is set
and ready to begin at rock that has
been quarried nearby. Andrew C.
Smith, an experienced road builder
from New York state, is foreman on
this job. The hill is four-f1fths of a
mile in length.
Down in Burton village a smaller
gang is doing job of grading. H.
'Shinoe, town of Waterloo, is foreman.
This is smaller job and probably
will not last all summer.
A fine new outfit started to make
the dirt fly at Hazel Green, last Mon
day. The crusher, roller, sprinkler
and 15-horse engine all are new.
Stone has been quarried and when it
is crushed will be applied to the road.
William A. Drinkwater, Platteville,
is foreman. Considering that Hazel
Green went "dry''a the recent cleo
ton, the selection of a man of Mr..
Drinkwater's name for foreman in
that territory is regarded as especial
ly happy.
There may be something doing soon
in Livingston. This is not fully
settled, but Mr.. Mink has his weather
eye peeled in that direction. In all
probability Clifton hill will rec Give
attention, if trouble should break out.
A lot of grading has already been
done on it, but world of work is yet
needed to make that great hump any,
thing like human. it is tough pro-
position at its very best. If it were
only as decent as are the good people
of that town it would slide itself
down several degrees.
On all this work one scale of wages
obtains: men get 1925 and man
and team gets $3.50 per day. Of
course the foremen may not get ex-
actly the same wages as shovelers,
but that is none of our funeral.

Why Beef Demand Is Poor.

Various reasons have been assigned
for failure Of beef to distribute read

tho one receiving most credence. This
idea is confirmed by an Associated

report made public today said that the
number Of unemployed mechanics in

Deer Farming For Americans.

: Sometimes it does seem as II there
were nothing new under the sun; and
then suddenly one runs on new form
of some old enterprise OF humanity
which is full Of new and picturesque
possibilities. Such, for example, are the
deer farms which are being established
in America. OF course, reindeer do
mesticated must mean farms where
they are raised like other cattle; but
whole farm given just to raising the
wood deer, gracious and beautiful
creatures of the wild, the very aristo-
Gratis OF the fauna in any land. seems
almost as new to the United States as
the ostrich farms were In their hrst
years.
A writer in The Independent refers to
these deer farms in an article where
he asks better framing of the game
laws. At present even deer raised by
private industry on farms fall under the
strict rule. and. in some states, a man
may not eat the venison he has raised
on his own land. 1t Is hoped that there
may be o system OF identincatlon
worked out whereby venison raised for
market may find it's safe way to the
table of the consumer. while the law
still protects wild game. Pictures OF
the deer farms show the playful lawns
gathered about the herdsman as conh-
IDENTIFY and merrily as ever lambs gam
boiled round the shepherd. A picture
labeled wild Things" shows two tiny
children surrounded by circle OF
dainty spotted fawns. One picture
shows a Montana deer farm. another
the deer raised in Massachusetts. Here
elk. buffalo and wild geese are found.
In Colorado many licensed deer parks
exist, where deer are grown under pro-
lection OF the Law, Just as cattle are. A
deer farmer says: II know OF no other
branch OF live stock industry that re-
turns so great profit in proportion to
the time, labor and capital invested az
