BOND COMPROMISE IS
POSSIBLE
BondhOlder of Canyon Canal
Suggests Plan of Settling
Financial Difficulties.

With a view of stopping all litiga-
ton over the Canyon canal bond issue
and placing the irrigation district up
on a sound financial footing, John K.
Morrow, president of the Continental
Trust company of Pittsburgh, Pa,
and owner of one of the largest blocks
of bonds of the district, spent several
days in town this week and after max
ing a thorough investigation of the
canal and the conditions of the land
owners under the canal, submitted his
personal plan of compromise to the
board of directors of the district and
a number of the large land owners.
In presenting the plan, Mr.. Nor
row made it plain that he was speak
ing only for himself; that he had not
consulted his associate bondholders
and did not know whether the plan
would be acceptable to them.
The plan he proposes is, in brief,
this: Each bondholder and each war
rant holder to agree to a straight 20
per cent shave on all bonds and war
rants; to issue refunding bonds to run
for 20 years, with interest and sink
ing fund payments deferred for sew
eral years, and to endeavor to raise
sufficient funds from the bondholders
to enlarge the canal to capacity to
carry an adequate supply of water for
every acre of land in the district, and
to issue bonds in payment of outstand-
ing warrants "In this way" he said,
"all the Indebtedness of the district
would be cleaned up and as it could
start out anew on a cash basis"
The proposed 20 per cent discount
on the bonds would equai the so-called
commission bonds" about which
there has been so much controversy
and which are now in litigation. Mr..
Morrow seemed very anxious to settle
the difficulties of the district IN the
interest not only of himself, but also
for the benefit of the land owners. He
expressed surprise at the splendid
physical condition of the canal sys-
TEN, and the fertility and improve
ment of the lands in the district. He
left for the East Tuesday and will
present his plan to the bondholders'
committee, of which he is member.
This committee represents 100000
of the bonds, and is composed of John
Morrow, DR.. Gaebler, John Paul
Thompson and Mr.. Seymour.
1t is sincerely hoped that the con-
ference may result in solution of
the problems that confront both the
bondholders and the land owners, as
we'll as the holders of warrants, in
such an equitable manner as will make
it possible for the land owners to
meet their obligations and give to the
bonds an unquestioned stability. From
the present outlook, if the other bond
holders hold the same views as Mr..
Morrow, a satisfactory settlement is
possible.

That growing clover for seed is
profitable is proved by the experience
of |. o. Hankins this year. He had
a 15-acre orchard in clover between
the tree rows. He has threshed 125
bushels of clover seed from the crop.
The seed is worth 1515 cents a pound,
or $3.50 bushel, which would amount
to S1150 for the Is acres. Besides
this, Mr.. Hankins has the hay for feed.

GET BETTER PRICES FOR
STANDARDIZED PRODUCT

How can the dairy farmer get more
and the consumer pay less-at least no
more than he now pays-for pound
of Wisconsin cheese?
B. III. Hibbard and Asher Hobson OF
the Agricultural Economics depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin
have an answer for this often repeat
ed question. Their plan is for the
farmers of a neighborhood, community
or district to cooperate in improving,
standardizing and branding the out
put of their factory or factories. 1t is
believed that as a result of this con-
certed action, much better prices will
be paid and that the cheese viii be SO
sought after that the number Of hands
through which it passes will be redue-
ed and larger portion of the consum-
ex's payment will reach the farmers
pockets on the one hand and remain
in the housewives purses on the other.

NEW DEER LAW.

A law which hunters and members
of the state game warden's depart
ment say will go further toward the
protection of deer than amy other
statute that might be enacted save
one absolutely prohibiting the killing
of doe, has been passed by the Wiscon-
sin legislature and will be in effect at
the opening of the deer season on Nov.
IL. 1t prohibits the killing of any doe
or any fawn of either sex, and the
shipment of carcass of doe or fawn
by any railway company, express line
or other common carrier, and prohibits
any person or corporation from having
possession of the carcass of any doe or
fawn at any time A fine of from S25
to $50, or imprisonment not to exceed
three months, is the penalty for the
violation of this statute.
1t is expected by the state game
warden and bis assistants, and by as
sociations interested in the protection
of game On Wisconsin, that the new
law wiH not only result in better pro-
lection of deer. but will be an absolute
safeguard to the lives of hunters in
the north wooGs.
Under the new law in shooting a
deer it VEIL be necessary for the sports
man to see his target and know what
he is shooting at In order to avoid a
violation of the statute. Heretofore
the great danger in the woods has
been the carelessness of the ineXper-
fenced hunter in firing 1t moving OBJ
ject in the dense timber or tangled
slashing. Expecting to see deer
driven out by the drivers, and seeing
a movement in the brush a shot has
been fired at the moving object, and
too late the hunter has ascertained
that he has shot his companion or an
other hunter. An accident of this
character can not occur under the new
law, if the hunter intends to live up in
the statute, say experienced deer hun
ters. He must see the antleEs on his
game before he fires. 1t is said by
game wardens that fully 65 per cent of
the deer killed in Wisconsin between
Nov. 10 and Dec. / last were does.

distribution and sale of Wisconsin
cheese has been made by Mr.. Hibbard
and Mr.. Hobson. Their findings are
contained in a bulletin, Markets and
Prices of Wisconsin Cheese" just is
sued by the Agricultural Experiment
Station
Following are some of their eonclu-
sions:
THE farmer undoubtedly deserves
more income from the dairy business.
"The producers and consumers are
long way apart. The long line OF
middlemen is still intact and the line
| is too long.
! 1.-The farmer has at best hope OF
effecting savings from but relatively
small part of the total increase in price
from factory to consumer. This hope
is based very largely on his ability tc
understand the market and first of all
to understand that on himself rests
the responsibility of supplying a pro
duce of known high quality.
''In some manner those farmers who
produce the igh-grade goods should be
able to unity their efforts, and by es-
tablishing brand command higher
price for their produce than that Sc
cured for inferior goods.
''The quality of Wisconsin cheese
can be improved, but it will not be
done over the state as whole all at
once.
1.-The groups, the neighborhoods,
which get community action in i'm
proving, standardizing ano branding
the output will reap substantial re-
ward in better prices. Their goods will
be so sought that the number of hands
through which they pass will be re
duced and larger portion of the con-
sumer's payment will reach the farm
ers' pockets

AGRICULTURAL COLUMN.
By JOHN SWENEHART.
FOR BETTER ROADS.

In Forest County We have now reach
ed a point where our progress will be
directly dependent on our roads. At
present no county has more first class
roads in, proportion to it's development.
It should be our aim to continue this
road policy This should apply not
only to the main thoroughfares, bat
to the town roads on which settlers
must haul their produce. 1t is really
these cross roads that we must give
greatest attention.
Any road, however good it may be
in spots, is only as good as it's poorest
place. Where these poor places can be
put in fair shape with small outlay,
they should not be left. For at least
year there has been two or three
'holes' west os the depot in the City
of Crandcn which could be easily re-
paired. In Town of Crandon, along
what wila soon be known as the Yellow
Cross Trail, is hole near boundary
between Crandon and North Crandon
which could be put id shape with use
of "split log" drag, with very little
work. In fact, there is a difference be-
tween the road from Hiles to North
orandon which is largely a "matter of
dragging. To one unfanGliar with the
results with this simple piece of road
machinery the well-caredfor road is
remarkable. During the past few
days, the writer has driven over more
than 70 miles of different roads in this
county, over so of which should have
been dragged. 1t was not matter of
money, as economy in this regard is
like the economy of feeding the horse
sawdust in place of oats. Many of us
could drag the roads by our place. It
simply means that we must all work
together for better roads.
Another important thing, now more
so, because Wabeno, Laona, Crandon,
North Crandon and Hiles will be on
the long cross country trails. is the
putting up of sign boards, directing
the traveller to the next town. BY
State Law, these signs are required in
every township and the town chairman
is responsible for the proper erection
of them.
From Amigo to Hiles is now the
best continuous 55 miles of road in
Wisconsin, not only from good roads
but from scenic standpoint. Every
fcitizen should be interested in good
roads. The tourist. the prospective
settler can view us from our roads.
People of Crandon should see that some
of the weak places are cared for. Auto
owners can do much by working to-
gether. A few dollars spent properly
on roads has, in the writer's experience
done much to maintain road.

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS;
METHODS ARE SHOWN

It is, as rule, very much easier to
remove stains from washab bic than from
non-washable materials. With the
latter it is always well to keep the
spot confined to as small space as
possible, to rub as gently as possible,
and with the threads of the material,
not in circle. To prevent a ring on
silk or wool, first make ring of corn
starch or taloum or flour just outside
the stain, then apply what is needed
to take out the stain. The ring Oh
talcum or cornstarch will absorb the
cleaning agent so that the ring will be
verySindistinct as compared to what II
would have been if this precaution had
not been taken.
To remove blood and fruit stains
moisten carefully with warm water,
then absorb the stain with cornstarch
or cornmeal or talcum. If ring ap
pears, the whole garment may need
sponging and pressing.
Milk or cream. Gasoline or chloro
form dabbed on carefully with cotton
then warm water if not entirely re
moved.
Grass, paint and varnish.-Use al
cohol for the first, and turpentine OF
alcohol for the last two.
Perspiration.-Am applied
gently with a bit of cotton is effective.

they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active

a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined

Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

Try Dietz Next Week
4 Items from the Budget of this week in 1905 u

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Oct. John
F., Dietz, who for nearly two years
has detained 100000 feet of logs
belonging to the Chippewa Lumber
e Boom company of this city, at the
Cameron dam on the ThOrnapple riv-
er, and his partner, Valentine Weis-
enbach, will be tried on the charge
of attempt to murder, next week.
But how to get Dietz into court is
another question, and one still not
decided. The complaint against
Dietz and Weisenbach is signed by
j. F. Riordan, municipal Judge of
Sawyer county, and charges them
with having ''feloniously and wilfully
and with forethought attempted to
Kill and murder" This alleged
crime was committed May 8. 1904,
when Pat McGin, a log-driver, was
shot in the arm. Dietz will keep
guard over the dam and permits no
person to approach it. Signs are
placed around his premises warning
people to keep away. Dietz never
leaves the house without his Win
chester.
