A copy of the new hunting Ii
cense law, sent from Madison to
County Clerk Tyler, provides that
hunting licenses may be issued to
foreigners on presentation of their
first citizenship papers, and also
showing that the applicant is over
fifteen years of age, This goes to
show that when the hunting season
opens there will be a rush for first
papers by foreigners who have not
acquired the same. The new Wis

vide additional fees for the Federal

the number of reckless hunters

Vaughn's Fire Loss.

Vaughn township had fire loss of
S5,714.53 during 1914. The sworn re-
ports of the insurance companies to
Commissioner of Insurance Herman
l.. Ekern giving these figures also
show that these companies collected
$40, ,225.O5 in premiums from the
policy holders of this township. This
means $l78.gO paid in premiums for
each 500 returned for losses. During
1911 to 1914, inclusive, the total pre-
miums paid in this township amount
ed to $50, 7l0.56, and the total return
ed for losses was s65, $50. 60. which
makes premium payment of $50 82
for each 800 returned for losses.
Fire Chief Albert LaMarche's re-
cords show loses of 81, ,55O.97 for 1914.
Commenting on these figures showing
losses and premiums, Commissioner
Ekern said: The insurance compan-
les figures are the amounts which they
have paid out for losses. There will
AID the fire department records in
that losses often exceed the amount
of insurance. On the other hand, the
insurance companies pay many small
losses for which the fire department
is not called out Differences also
arise from the fact that the fire de
partment records are made up from
the losses as they occur while the in
surance company records are made up
at the time losses are paid. which of
ten would cause the losses incurred
in one year to be reported as paid the
succeeding year. Cases have also been
found where the insurance companies
have included losses outside the city
This is an injustice TO the city in the
excess losses so shown. and the figures
are now being Investigated to correct
any eTTOrs. %

CREAMERY COMPANY ORGANIZED
Farmers Organize CO. operative Comp
any and Will Erect Creamery
in Hurley.

The first definite steps toward s
the establishing of a creamery in
Hurley were taken this week when
an organization of farmers of the
county was perfected. AT meet
ing at Bonino s hall on Tuesday the
Settlers Cooperative Creamery
Company was organized. The COM
pany has been incorporated under
the laws of the state of Wisconsin,
its purpose being TO manufacture
and sell cheese. butter and general
creamery products. The articles of
incorporation also provide that the
company may engage in other mer-
camille pursuits if desired.
Officers as follows were elected.
Alfred Kaartinen. president; Theo.
Leppala, vice president; Thos.
Hannula. treasurer; George Ketola,
secretary. The following board of
directors was chosen: Herman Gre
go, John. Kampsi, John Rein, Matt
XVI and Matt Saari.
The Settlers Cooperative Cream
cry company is capitalized at $40,
10000, divided into 1000 shares at
$1,000 a share. About 81 900 has
already been subscribed and a COM
mittee is now at work selling shar-
es to the farmers and others who
desire to purchase stock.
The matter of a creamery for
Hurley has been talked among the
farmers of Iron County for some
time. but it was only recently
that things began to come to a
head. Early this spring canvass
of the county was made to asCer-
tain the number of COWS owned by
farmers in the county as a source
of supply for creamery. The re-
suit of this canvass showed that
there are over six hundred cows in
the county, more that sufficient
number TO keep a good creamery
going. The farmers are enthusias-
tic over the matter and it is expect
ed that the committee in charge of
the disposing of stock will have no
trouble in getting subscriptions. II
is planned to erect modern up-to-
date creamery. and while the site
has not yet been decided on this
matter will be settled as soon as
the necessary funds have been
raised. There is no question of
the good which would result from
an enterprise of this kind, both to
the farmer and the business man,
and the movement should have the
undivided support of all

STEEL OPERATIONS BROADENING.
Mills Throughout the Country Now
Running on Eighty Per
Cent Basis.

orders for industrial purposes since
the first of the month. This, to-
gether with steel required for the
manufacture of war munitions, is
responsible for the operation of its
ingot mills at about 80 per cent. of
capacity. The corporation is re-
ceiving high prices on its war busi-
ness, in strong contrast with some
previous years when it was neCes-
sary to sell steel abroad at prices
below domestic quotations.
1t is believed by authorities in
the steel trade that the export bust
ness has come to stay. Any furth-
er improvement in domestic de-
mand would, it is thought, find the
steel plants of the country operat-
ing at close to capacity. Some manu-
facturers hold though, that even
90 per cent of capacity would lead
to scarcity in the labor market as
thousands of laborers have gone to
Europe.
A banker in touch with sales of
ammunition and other such materi-
al to Europe estimates that CON
tracts have already been closed for
the manufacture in this country of
close to $4,000, 900 shrapnei shells.
Order for 10000, 900 more are pro-
missed which would bring the value
of these products up to close to
$500, 900, 900.
Inquiries for steel for war munit-
ions con tinue and the closing of
some important contracts is booked
for before the end of the present
month. Export demand is also
heavier, aud the only drawback to
a greater extension in business is
lack of shipping facilities. The
increase of foreign steel buying has
resulted i'll a heavy increase of or
ders for the LaCkawana and other
steel companies and there are now
very few idle plants anywhere.
Russia recently bought 40, 900
tons of steel rails and it is believed
that orders for $50 900 tons addit-
ional will finally be placed by that
country.
Referring to the trade situation,
The Iron Age says:
Increase in steel works output
is again confirmed by the figures of
pig iron production, the blast fur
naces of the steel companies max
ing 40, 900 tons more in May than
in April. The total pig iron out.
put last month was 2 ,263, ,470 tons,
or 73, ,015 tons day, against 2,l16,
494 tons in April, or 20, $50 tons a
day. With POS furnaces in blast

the active capacity was "a ,343 tons,

year. On April /, it was at %,
900 900 tons, and on Jan. at 18.
900, 900 tons year.
The makers of all galvanized
steel products are at sea over spelt-
er, but are beyond capacity for sur
prise at any price. Galvanized
sheets have gone to 4.75c and SC
for No. % and in many directions
business has come to a halt. Many
contracts are being filled at a loss.
A vigorous campaign has been
started by sheet producers to sub
stitute painted black sheets for gal
vanized.
Export inquiry for tin plates
amount to 25O, 900 to 800, 900 box

Satisfied.

Washington, D. C.-Although Te-
ticent to discuss details, the general
expression given by officials of the
Washington government conversant
with the progress of the Japanese
Chinese negotiations was that they
were nearing a conclusion which
would prove to be generally salts
factory.
According to official advices, the
conferences of the last few days at
Pekin have cleared up many of the
misunderstanding over the meaning
of some of the Japanese demands and
have brought about substantial prog
ress toward an agreement on the
points under discussion.
Officials declined to comment on
Pekin dispatches giving outlines of
the American note to Japan ana the
latter's reply, but so encouraging did
the negotiations seem that some of
those familiar with their general
trend took an encouraging view of
the negotiations and expressed the be-
lief that no further exchange of notes
with Japan would be necessary to
safeguard American policy in the Far
East

CARRANzA MAKES A REQUEST
Asks U. S. to Bar Huerta, as He
Intends to Abuse Neutrality
and Is Undesirable.

Los Angeles, California Car
rama government at Vera Cruz
will ask the United States to deny adj
mittance to Yictoriano Huerta, the
former Mexican dictator, now on the
way to New York, according to mes
sage, which Adolfo GARLIC, Carranza
agent here, received.
Carranza has evidence, GARLIC said
he was informed, that a coterie Of
Mexican conservatives had assembled
in New York to meet Huerta and plan
with him movement to overthrow
all Mexican leaders now in the field
and restore Huerta to the dictatorship.
Carranza's request that Huerta be
denied admission to this country will
be based, it was stated, upon the de-
claration that he intends to abuse the
neutrality of the United States, and
therefore, would prove an undesirable
alien.

PROPOSES TO PURCHASE ALL

IN KINGDOM.
TO SELL ONLY LIGHT LAGER
Entire Cabinet Said to BE in Accord
With Measures Which Are Now
Being prafted-IreIand In

London, England.--State monopoly
of beer is, according to the Daily Ex-
press, the solution which the govern
ment has under consideration for the
problem raised by David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the excheouer,
in connection with the supply of mu-
nitions of war. Two bedrock prin-
ciples, 1t is asserted, underliej the
scheme as follows:
Only beer to be brewed or druh TX in
the United Kingdom will be permA tted
by the government and no stronA or
heavy beer will be brewed, light bier
of the lager type being alone sup
piled.
Lloyd George is personally respo1
sible for the initiation of the schema,
which in general outline has the APP
proval of the entire cabinet The Daily
Express declared an agreement hast
been reached on the following details 4
All breweries and licensed houses
in Great Britain are to be purchased
outright.
Ireland is included in the scheme,
as otherwise there would be competi-
ton with the government monopoly
from the famous Irish firm of Guinness.
Once the purchases are completed,
brewing by private firms will be made
illegal. 1t will be made a government
monopoly.
The purchase money estimate
amounts to between 1000, 600, 900 and
$1,50O,00O,000. Very little will be paid
in cash, brewers, mortgages, share
holders and others concerned will be
paid, in the great majority of cases, in
licensed bonds bearing per cent in
terest
The complete scheme, it is ex-
pected, will be ready in a few days.

AUTHORIZATIONS ouestioned.

Appropriations Questioned.
The appropriation by the state SEN
ate Of $4,000 to be spent by various
rowing commissions during the next
two years probably win be the cause
of an investigation by the governor
and the attorney general to determine
whether the appropriations are regu-
lar.
There is grave doubt among law
yers as to whether the senate had pow
er to appropriate from the treasury
money to be spent after its adjourn
ment.
Immediately after the appointment
of the commissions the amounts ap.
propriated for them we're drawn out
and the legislative contingent fund
was so depleted that the legislature
adjourned without paying its debts.
A printing bill of $4,000 due the
Hugh Stephens Printing Co., will re-
main unpaid for two years.
Attorney General Barker said he
had not investigated the matter from
a legal standpoint, but that II the
money had been paid out without war
rant of law, somebody ought to pay
it back. Barker said he is powerless
to bring suit to recover the money
without instructions from the gov
ernor.
