IRISH NATIVES SET RECORD
Wisconsin Bureau of Vital Statistics
Shows People Born in ireland
Live to Great Age.

Madison.-Ireland stands high in the
longevity records of the Wisconsin
bureau of vital statistics, judging by
recent death certificates filed here. Re-
ports have been received of the death
of Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, aged fO3
years, five months, twenty-one days, in
the town of Eden, Fond du Lac county,
and of Mrs. Susan Gollihar, 101 years
old, in the town of Rush River st.
Croix county.
Each was born in Ireland. Senility
was advanced as the death cause.
These records recall the death of
two Wisconsin centenarians two years
ago-William Walsh, native of Ire
land, of town of Lima, Sheboygan
county, aged 104, from general debility,
and Mrs. Joseph Dzwonkowski of Pa
lonia, Portage county, aged los, who
was born in Germany. The three
women were widows, and in the
case of each the names of the parents
were unknown to the authorities.

KU0LTAGAINST BANKS
OBJECTS TO INSTITUTIONS ACT.
ING AS ADMINISTRATORS.
1t Attempt Is Made to Exercise
Authority Attorney General
May Bring Suit.

Madison. State Bank Commissioners
A. E. kuolt said that if any national
bank In Wisconsin attempted to exer.
else authority supposed to be confer
red on it by the federal reserve act to
serve as trustee, administrator, execu.
tor or registrar of stocks and bonds,
he would ask the attorney general to
bring suit against it to restrain it from
so acting, on the ground that the pro-
vision of the federal reserve statute
covering the subject was unconstitu-
tional
The commissioner said that he had
conferred with the attorney general on
the matter, and the latter had indicat-
ed his readiness to bring suit.
The federal reserve board has
authorized six Wisconsin national
banks to act as trustees, administra-
tors, executors and registrars of stocks
and bonds. These banks are the First
National of Monroe, City National of
Oshkosh, Old National of Appleton and
National Manufacturers of Neenah.
Under the laws of Wisconsin the
only corporation authorized to act as
trustees, administrators, executors
and registrars of stocks and bonds are
trust companies, of which there are
fourteen in the state
The attorney general of Wisconsin
on May l, last, advised the state bank
commissioner that the action of the
federal reserve board in comforting on
certain national banks permission to
assume the functions of trustees, ex-
ecutors and administrators does not
confer any state authority on these
banks.

MEASLES ARE ON INCREASE
Eight Hundred and Eight Gases Re-
ported in November. Only
Ninety-four Year Ago.

Madison.-Eight hundred and eight
cases of measles were reported to the
state board of health in November. In
the same month last year only ninety
four cases were recorded. The abnor-
NAL increase indicates to what extent
the disease is spreading in Wisconsin
communities at present.
The first three weeks of the present
month have brought over a thousand
new cases. Nearly one-half of these
are in Milwaukee and about two hun
dred in Madison. In December a year
ago 1872 cases were reported in the
state
Practically without exception" says
the board, 'the disease this year is of
the mild type and consequently the
mortality will not be high. However,
we must not lose sight of the fact that
this disease paves the way for many
other serious complications. Pneu-
monia is a frequent after effect and
often results from allowing children
to go out of doors before they should
after recovery"

POULTRY INDUSTRY GROWING
SIS, 100000 Is the Estimated Annual
Valuation of Production in
the State.

Madison.-Here are some of the
facts and figures which could be used
to prove that despite all notions to the
contrary, poultry raising is another of
Wisconsin's many important farm in
dustries.
Fifteen million dollars is the esti.
mated annual valuation of Wisconsin,
poultry and poultry products.
Fifty million dozens of eggs market
ed by Wisconsin's poultTymen a year.
One hundred fifty thousand Wiscon-
sin farmers raise poultry.
Three hundred young men and WON.
en- are studying poultry husbandry at
the college of agriculture, the Univer.
sity of Wisconsin.
Sixty poultry shows are held in
Wisconsin every year.
There is scarcely a township in the
state which has not a poultryman to
it's credit More and more farmers are
beginning to specialize in their indus
tries. And many seeing the ideal con
ditions which Wisconsin offers fol-
poultry raising, are investing in poul
try as a means of earning a good live
lihood.

ASKS COURT TO DEFINE MEAS
uRE AFFECTING MANY WIS
coNSIN CITIES.
TIES UP $4,000 FUND
Statute Regarding Railroad Docks,
Piers, Wharves and Grain
Elevators is Considered
to Be Vague.

Madison.-State Treasurer Henry
Johnson, after consulting with Gov.
Philip and the members of the state
tax commission, decided to refuse to
nay to Milwaukee, Superior, Manito-
voc and other municipalities interest
ed any of the taxes to be collected on
railroad docks, piers, wharves and
grain elevators as provided by chapter
4O7. laws of 1915, until the Wisconsin
Supreme court has passed on the con-
stitutionality of the statute.
1t is estiRated that the taxes to be
collected under this statute will
amount to $150,000. of which 15 per
cent is to be retained by the state
and the rest apportioned among the
different communities in which the
taxed property is located
The law provides that the state tax
valuation Of this property before it
certifes the state railroad taxes to
the secretary of state in January and
that the state treasurer shall collect
the taxes of the property and after
deducting Is per cent for the state,
return the balance to the communities
in which the property is situated.
The state treasurer told the COVER
nor and tax commissioners that in
view of the doubt he had concerning
the constitutionality of the statute, he
believed that no money should be paid
out by him under it until the Supreme
court had held the law valid.

ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS CON
TEMPLATE MANY IMPORTANT
CHANGES.
ENTRIES OPEN TO WORLD
Efforts Will Be Made to Strengthen
Boys and Girls Department
Record Breaking Swine and
Sheep Exhibits Predicted.

Madison.-The premium list for the
1916 state fair is being prepared by
the Wisconsin department of agricul.
ture. The revision is most thorough
and is being made by committee of
five members of the advisory board
and officials of the state fair division
of the department.
A number of changes are being
made in classifications in order that
all classes may be brought up to date,
and the possible competition provided
in each department.
Special effort is being made to
strengthen the boys and girls exhibit
and contest department. This depart.
ment was created this year and is the
beginning of one of the strongest divi-
sions of the fair The amount of money
to be awarded in this department will
be larger than in 1915, and several
competitions will be added
An effort will be made at all times
to strengthen all departments having
to do with agriculture.
A worlds record was established by
the dairy department in 1915, and the
prospects are that the 1915 record will
be exceeded in 1916.
New swine and sheep barns, and the
fact that the fair will be open to world
wide competition, insures record
breaking swine and sheep exhibit in
1916. In the cattle and horse depart
ments prospects for record-breaking
showings are excellent.

A Way to Destroy Wasps

Prof. A. L. Melander Of the Wash
ington experiment station says these
annoying insects may be destroyed by
placing a gallon jug, quarter filed with
water and placed next to the nest, is
all that is needed. A wasp will emerge
from the nest opening, perceive the
jug, and fly angrily at it. The hollow
sound OF its buzzing, echoing from the
jug will make it enter, when it falls
into the water. Wasps are able to
communicate with each other and the
imprisoned wasp possibly calls TO its
sisters. At any rate the colony, one
by one, in the course OF the day, will
find its way into the Jug. This is per-
haps easier than the distribution OF
poison on food for the wasps. II the
latter method should be tried a little
Paris green or white arsenic may be
distributed on minced meat and scat
tered where the wasps will find it.

BLEWFTT PASS ROAD
SEES MUCH TRAVEL
On an Average of Twenty Cars Day
Pass Over This Highway AutOists
Enthusiastic Over Route

In the last month over 20 cars day
on an average have passed over the
Blewett pass according to Road Super
visor Tom Parish who was in town the
first of the week and called on the
Echo. Mr.. Parish found it necessary
to put patrolman on the road during
the summer months to keep the road
in good shape, and being curious to
know how much travel there was over
the mountains, instructed his man to
keep close tab on the machines that
went by Mr.. Parish is very enthus-
iastic over the possibilities that the
road over the mountains offers and
urges every motorist making the trip
to carry a banner bearing the words
"Wenatchee Valley via Blewett and
Snoqualmie Pass" He believes that
this would advertise both passes and
at the same time bring our county
before the travelling public.
There is much opposition in Kittitas
county, especially Ellensburg to the
Blewett pass and they urge all the mo-
torists passing their way to cross the
mountains by way Of the Vantage route
which crosses about ten miles below
Wenatchee. The automobile assocla-
ton of Chelan county is planning on
having signs printed to put up along
the road between our valley and Sc
attic advising autoists to make the trip
to Spokane by way of the Wenatchee
Valley, stating that the road passes
thru a country with good roads, good
scenery, fertile fruitful valleys, etc.
This will be big step towards getting
tourists coming our way.

About PeaCemakers

The peacemaker Of the future, says
Robert Herrick, the American novelist
and professor, will be the man or the
government who will vindicate strongly,
at the proper time, the cause Of the
human conscience, OF the given word,
in a world OF international honor"
Not the man who preserves an arti-
fetal and unreal neutrality about ques-
tions too profound for neutrality, who
persists in dealing out fine diplomatic
compliments to government that he
is accusing Of the gravest crimes.
That looks altogether too much like
timid policy" not craftsmanship nor
morality" This looks very much like
a slam at the president.

here this week and inspected the
Blewett pass road. He will return
next month with party and in con-
junction with the county engineer will
90 over the same road in an endeavor
to find a more suitable location near
the summit and by changing some
four or five miles improve the grade
and put the road on better ground.
Miss Edna Featherstone is temper
arily employed in the local Office and
is working on the annual report.
]. A. Fernstrom is now camped near
the summit of the mountain west OF
town and is in communication by tele-
phone and heliograph with the forestry
office. His principal duties are to
watch for forest fires and report them.
A force OF men are employed in
building a telephone line to the top OF
Dirty Face mountain near Wenatchee
lake where another lookout station will
be maintained. The line is expected
to be completed next week.
The trail from the forks Of Pine creek
to the head OF Icicle river connecting
with the Stevens pass trail is complete.
During the year which closed the
3Oth of June IS miles Of new trails
were built, making total Of ia miles
of trails now completed in the Wenat-
chez national forest. Eighteen miles
OF new telephone lines were also COM
pleted in the same time, making at
this time 55 miles OF telephone line in
this forest.
For the past two weeks there have
been very few fires in this. forest.
This is due partly to the weather con-
ditions but the warnings that have been
sent out and posted up have no doubt
helped to keep down fires.
