EYES ARE ON WISCONSIN
Homeseekers Prefer North
Wisconsin to the Call of
Irrigated Land.

If is conceded that employment
6 essential to the agricultural
Development of the country-a
chance to work out part of the
time for the maintenance of the
FAMILY while getting established
IN the farm. This fact was
brought out strongly at a con-
ference between the irrigation
officials and immigration agents
ofthe western railroads. There
twas stated that the movement
to the west was practically at a
standstill for the reason that the
nrice of the land, 500 to $50
ner acre and $50 to $50 addi-
ttional for water and the absence
abandonment combined tomake
il almost impossible for the
homeseeker to get established.
Saws Director Newell of the Irri-
h'tA
cation bureau:
Zone of the great obstacles to
the Development of the west is
the fact that irrigable lands are
being held at prices so high that
the newcomer can not find what
he considers a bargain.
Some who have recently pur
chased state that they cannot
make a living and repay the
amount agreed upon. Their let
tiers to their friends discourage
others from seeking a western
location"
While it is unfortunate that
the government should already
have expended nearly $4,000
900 in irrigation works with
others under construction that
will call for another 500, O00,-
900, while unable to get people
to go upon one-third of the lands
for which water is now ready, it
is fortunate that we have in Wis
cOnsin many acres of unsettled
agricultural lands, where the
newcomer can make a living
and repay the amount agreed
upon for the reason that the
land costs about one tenth the
price in the west, and there is no
water to buy, and for the addi-
tional reason that there is out
side employment at all times.
In the Upper Wisconsin coun-
ties there is never a day in the
year in which the settler can not
find employment and usually
within walking distance from his
home. With home that will
house his family and no fuel nor
garden products to buy and with
income that comes from one or
two COWS, or more, and a flock
of hens, his apparently modest
wages are really larger than the
city mans, who has to pay rent,
and buy all he and his family
needs, and too frequently en-
counter strike or lockout.
The public is finding out the
true situation and that is the
reason that inquiry for Wiscon-
SIN land is increasing SO rapidly.
Villas county affords the oppor-
tunlty to the home seeker.

IDAHO CONGRESSMAN
IN CANAL TOLL DEBATE

presented to the house what he called
a picture showing the deadly parallel
in which he set forth the section oi
the treaty OF Great Britain Of 1915
and in parallel column the section OF
the y-Pauncefote treaty and be-
meath each treaty Great Britain's con-
tention.
Mr.. French further called attention
TO the understanding Of the treaty by
those who had part in its framing and
Interpretation, including former -;ena-
tor Turner Of Washington, Theodore
Roosevelt, President Taft and others
and also pointed out that the Republi-
can, Progressive and Democratic part
les all bound themselves 10 support
the policy OF free tolls in their last
National platforms, and that he made
the same promise to the people OF
Idaho in his last campaign.
He pointed out that when the bill
was passed two years ago he stood
for preventing the use of the canal BY
the railroads of the United States and
favored free tolls to coastwise trade
in order that there might be the great
test competition possible in freigh
rates between the northwest and tbs
markets Of the east. Mr.. French be
lieved then and believes now that th'
Panama Canal will mean millions o
dollars in profit saved from freigh
rates to the people Of the northwes
annually and that free tolls woul
mean still further for their advantage

The sensation OF the hour in amuse-
ment circles is George Kleine's pro-
duction the Cines photo drama
spectacle Antony and Cleopatra"
Nothing like it has been seen in the
world and the prices paid for ex-
elusive rights by the different Europ-
can impresarios have been astounding.
The subjects afforded the Cines COM
pany greater scopes dramatically and
pictorially than their production Of
"Quo Vadis" and they have taken
ample advantage OF it. The photo
drama is arranged in eight parts and
three acts, each one OF which is a
dramatic revelation. Signor Antony
Novelli is the Marc Antony and Sig
nora Giovanna Teribih Gonzales is the
Cleopatra They are ably supported
by Signor Ignazio Lupi as Octavius
Signorina Matilde di Mario as Chair

Double-P Construction company which
seeks a right of way for the building
Of a line and equipping it with its
system OF cars, explained the merits of
his invention in very simple manner.
Taking up a small book, he placed it
astride a pencil. citing that the pencil
might represent the track and ths
book the car. The track is set on "a
single row OF posts eight feet apart,
having a four-inch top and shoulders
to support two four by six timbers, one
on each side of tenant and bolted
through same. with strap-iron on top
of railing, making a track three feet
above ground and one foot wide. The
car hangs astride the track and loaded
about equally on both sides, the load
hanging below the track. The car
cannot jump the track. Mr.. Patton
said that he would put on train of
dozen or more cars with 80 or 40
horse power automobile engine at
each end and go down to the railroad
with a standard load of grain at a
speed of about ten miles an hour,
making it possible to haul grain at
about five cents per hundred weight,
and make a profit, saving the valley on
300 cars about s4S,OOO. which would
be the difference between five and
twenty-five cents paid this year.
About 200 cars we're shipped from
the valley last year, and nearly 1OC
cars remain to be shipped.
The Construction company asked
for right of way and that the people
take stock to the extent of $1,000
per mile. The promoter replied t
vigorous questioning and talked gen
orally of details of operation, citing
in one instance that passengers coul'
be hauled for one cent a mile.
Everybody in the valley was en-
thusiastic over the proposition AM
the president of the Boosters clul
said I'VE have done all we could
and we have not been able to prov
that Mr.. Patton cannot do all h
promised" so the committee wa
named as stated, and the live wire
over in the valley are endeavorin
to work out a process that wi
speedily connect them with the Cat
; City.

policy recommended by the president

Mr.. French declared that a treaty is
a contract and in the Interpretation Of
a treaty the rules of Interpretation

contracts in civil life should be ap-
piled in the Interpretation Of contracts

French pointed out that in this con-
nection the construction of similar
treaties is of highest Importance and
called specific attention to the treaty
OF 1915 between the United States and
Great Britain wherein Great Britain
guaranteed to the United States the
same rights in British ports as were
granted to British vessels. Under this
guarantee Great Britain has charged
the United States from three to more

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. Especial:
Berlin is celebrating the news from
Poland of what is termed "one of the
greatest victories i'm history" Berlin
headquarters announces that the
Russians have been clearly beaten
and that the Russian offensive
against Silesia and Posen has been
broken. A general retreat of the
Russians in Poland, with the Ger
mans in pursuit, is claimed.
In contradiction of this the latest
official bulletins issued at P~etrograd
declare that the Russian cavalry and
vanguard troops are chasing ener-
getically the beaten Germans" in the
district of Mlawa.
Both sides claim the capture of
prisoners, the Germans a very large
number of them.
Direct from Warsaw word
that a great battle is in progress
twenty miles to the westward; that
the German wedge has established it
self in a strategic position and that
desperate fighting is in progress with
endorsements pouring in 10 both
Germans and Russians.
In Belgium and France the allies
| are carrying on their offensive opera
tions, begun a few days ago, slowly
| and steadily. Progress is noted in the
| French official statement and it is
| believed that the infantry On the two
| sides of the western battle front have
come to grips at many places, the
number of wounded indicating the
| desperate nature of the struggle.
Further details from the English
coast towns bombarded by the Ger
man squadron disclose an increasing
number of victims of German shells

number of dead is officially announc-
ed at eighty-two, with $50 wounded
