SALOON RULING MADE
NON-USE OF BUILDING FOR 8
YEARS BARS NEW LICENSE.
State Supreme Court Rules That
Where Baker Law Ratio Is Elk
ceeded Surrender is Final.

Madison.-When property used
for saloon purposes is abandoned for
three years, an attempt is made to
again use it as a saloon and there is
already an excess of the number of
saloons in that locality allowed By the
Baker law, no license may legally be
issued, even if on the date when the
ises were devoted to saloon purposes,
according to a decision of the Wis
consin supreme court
The case arose in the town of Wa
beno, Forest county. The town board
granted William Koch a license for
the year beginning July 1, 1913, and
the validity of that license was at
tackled. At the trial it was shown
that the premises occupied by Koch
were used for saloon purposes on
June so, 1907, when the Baker law,
limiting the number of saloons in any
licensing district to one to each 250
inhabitants or fraction thereof, but
permitting existing saloon locations
to be relicensed as long as used for
saloon purposes, went into effect The
Koch premises were not used for sa-
loon purposes from July 1, 1907, until
Jan. "a, 1911, when the town board
again granted license for a saloon
there. When the Baker law went in
to effect there were ten saloons in the
town of Wabeno, but when Koch was
arrested there were eleven saloons
there. The population of the town is
1877.
The court holds that the nonuse of
the building for saloon purposes for
three years is a virtual abandonment
of the building for the purpose and
hence the village board could not law

FOREST BLAZES CHECKED
Efforts of Sixty State Wardens Re-
move Danger of Great Loss in
Northern Wisconsin.

Madison.-State Forester E. M.
Griffith says that the state board of
forestry had sixty deputy fire wardens
working in the forest fire sections of
the state and is making every effort
to prevent any serious fires. Mr..
Grifiths believes that with the sys-
tenn of lookout towers, telephones, pa
trolls and fire fighting equipment avail
able there is not much danger of any
forest fire getting beyond control in
or near the state forest reserve. The
territory guarded by the state fores-
try board is principally at the head
water of the Wisconsin, Chippewa,
Wolf and st. Croix rivers. So far
twelve small fires have broken out in
the state forest reserve, but all were
eXtinguished before they did much
damage
