MOVING TO UPPER COUNTIES
immigration Bureau Reports More
People Settling in Northern Wis
consin Than Ever Before.

Madison.-Practically complete data
shows that there were several times
the amount of immigration in upper
Wisconsin in 1914 than in any one year
in the past. That was a record that
pleased those devoting their time to
showing the homeseeking public the
advantage of that portion of the state.
The situation this year is indicated to
some extent by the fact that forty car
loads of immigrants effects have been
unloaded at Ladysmith, Rusk county,
during the first four months of 1915, as
against twenty-six carloads during the
whole year 1914. 1t is apparent from
this the number this year will at least
double that of last year
A number of settlers coming this
year made their purchases one, two,
three or more years ago, and the fact
that sales have vastly increased and
are now greater than ever before as.
sures that more people will actually
move to the northern Wisconsin next
year than this year and that such in.
crease will continue for many years to
come

DARNELL GETS THREE YEARS
Former kenosha Pastor Sentenced to
#. leavenworth for Violation
of Mann White Slave Act.

Milwaukee.-The Rev. James Morri-
son Darnell was sentenced by Federal
Judge Geiger to three years in the Lea
venworth, Kansas, prison, for violation
of the Mann white slave act in trans
porting Ruth Soper from Minnesota to
Illinois and from Illinois to Wisconsin
in November, 1914.
R. j. Cooney, counsel for Darnel,
was denied in his motion for a new
trial He said that Ethel Sturgeon
had never claimed to be Darnell's wife,
and that after their separation in July,
1912, she had never used his name.
Judge Geiger insisted that the taking
out of marriage license would indi-
cate that they intended marrying. Mr..
Cooney also held that when Darnell
went to Hammond, Ind, and there
married Ruth Soper, it was presumed
that Ethel Spurgeon was either dead
or divorced. Judge Geiger met that
statement by saying that the same
presumption might be used in the
Soper and Vaughan marriages.
Mr.. CoOney also took exception to
the district attorneys being very Sc
we're on the defendant, but the judge
in reply to this stated that many state
ments of the witnesses had not been
challenged by the defense, and that the
district attorneys severe remarks
were no more severe than those of the
defendants own attorneys.

Leave in Auto.

Racine.-After a veritable dime nov,
Ell robbery and escape from the Racine
Jail, Carl Miller, his wife, Mary, and
Charles Jones, were captured at Evan
ston, ILL.,, by Police Capt. w. B. George.

ferrous way, unlocked their cells, went
to Sheriff Towards office and found
him asleep. They knocked the com
bination from the safe and got, accord
ing to Racine police, $1,000 in cur
rency.
Leaving the jail, the three are ac-

DEPUTY MAY BE DISCHARGED
Calumet Officials in Tanqle Over Fees
Appeals for Decision and
Wins Point.

Madison.-That the relations be-
tween the sheriff and his deputies is
contractural one and not official; that
the sheriff may prescribe rules and
regulations by which his deputies shall
be governed; that under the laws of
Wisconsin there is no recognition of
such official as a deputy sheriff, are
important points revealed in an
opinion by Atty.-Gen. Owen to Dist
Atty. James Kirwan of Calumet coun-
ty.
In Calumet county the county Judge
turns all commitments in insanity
cases over to the deputy sheriff, and as
the sheriff in that county receives no
salary, depending wholly upon the fees
of the Office, the superior officer finds
cause for complaint.
The point of the attorney generals
opinion is that if the sheriff's relations
with his official family are not congeni-
al he is at liberty to fire" his deputies
and make other arrangements

TO BUY LAND FOR
STATE FAIR PARK
COUNTY BOARD VOTES TO PUR-
CHASE PART OF FLEMING
TRACT.
ESTIMATE COST is $4,000
Action Ends Long Fight on Question
Before Board-S255,oo 900 Appro-
priation Changes
Opinion.

Milwaukee. = Milwaukee county
will purchase part of the Fleming
tract and donate it to the state of
Wisconsin for state fair purposes
This was decided at meeting of the
county board when, by a vote of IS
to 6, the supervisors went on record
favoring the purchase of a strip of
land east of the State Fair park, 120
feet in width and 1858 feet in
length. 1t is estimated that the land
will cost the county about $4,000.
This ends fight that has been on
in the county board for the last two
years, when some of the members
fought to have the county purchase
the entire Fleming tract Meeting
after meeting was held by the special
committee appointed to debate the
question, and the matter was finally
postponed indefinitely. 1t was then
believed that the question would
never come up again.
Two years afterward Senator w.
j. Bichler asked the members of the
board why nothing had been done re-
lative to the purchase. In the mean
time the state board Of agriculture
had appropriated 1855, 900 to be
given to Milwaukee county for State
Fair park purposes, if the county
would purchase additional land The
members of the county board COM
mittee went to Madison, where they
conferred with the members of the
legislature and the state board of ag-
riculture
Following this conference a reso-
luton was introduced at the next
meeting of the county board to pur-
chase a strip of land for the State
Fair park, provided the 1855, 900
would be Immediately available"

Alberta wool growers are looking fol

assertion made by prominent sheep
man of the Grassy Lake district. 'Tt

The war has caused q graft demand
to be made on the WOODEN mills, and
they have got to have the raw nate

The present season has been most
propitious for the growing of wool, and
the growers expect to reap big har-
vest of splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing well on the ranges.
No special breed Of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare of the farm
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do 80 to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm
area.
The climate is perfectly adapted to
the raising of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out of them.-Ad-
