teen months to Ambrose, North Dakota
The calf weighed over eleven hundred
pounds. Mr.. Bunker says he has never
seen corn ripen as unevenly as the
present year. He also reports late pO-
tatoes rotting very badly.
The sum of about $50 was realized at
the social given by the Home and For
eign Missionary societies in the parlors
of the M. E. church Wednesday even
ing. The attendance was unusually
large and the members are greatly
pleased over the success of the event.
Both organizations are working along
worthy lines and their efforts are of
the highest.
On Wednes day afternoon Mrs ]. E.
English entertained few friends in
honor of Mrs. w. G. LaRue of Duluth,
former resident of Baraboo. When
evening came the guests were invited
to take walk and soon found them
selves about prettily decorated table
at the social being given by the miss
ionary societies in the parlors of the
First M. E. church There were pretty
candles and flowers, all combining for a
most happy occasion. Mrs. LaRue's
husband discovered iron ore in the
Baraboo valley in 1900 and this was fol-
lowed by much exploration and the
opening of number of mines. Several
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. LaRue moved
to Duluth where they have erected a
fine residence

McGovern a Factor

But in all of this discussion no cog
nizance has been taken Of Francis r..
McGovern, ex-governor and still a
factor in Wisconsin politics with an or
ganization not to be overlooked He
has raised the issue squarely against
Governor Philip on his economy pro-
gram and early during the legislative
session placed himself squarely on re
cord as a defender of the university
and normal schools as against the plans
of the administration. MIR. McGov~
ern ia one of the most forcefuI factors
in the republican camp, a good campaig-
ner-not excelled even by Senator La
Toilette himself vigorous, ambitious
and of strong personality. That he
must be reckoned with cannot be ques-
toned. It is said that he, too, is to be a
candidate for the governorship.
The Milwaukee Free Press says that
Mr.. Dithmar is outdistancing Mr. Bos-
shard.

An Interesting Contest

To watch the progress of this con-
test between these two well defined
fractional alignments will be interesting
to the student of politics, for upon its
outcome depends much of the future
activity of candidates. In fact, when
that issue is determined some others, at
least, will be finally settled.
Discussion of candidates at this time
is largely for recreational purpose 8, and
mostly, by the way, although there are
some facts pretty definitely determined
Senator La Toilette is to be candidate
to succeed himself Whether or not he
is to have opposition in the primary
seems to be one of the hazy aproblems
just now, although, in view of the stu
alton, 1t will be strange if he does not.
It is known that Governor Phillip would
like to try conclusions before the pri-
mary with the senator upon the tariff
issue, forcing the latter to defend his
vote on the Underwood bill and incl
dentally to settle some cid scores. But
the governors friends are insisting that
he shall be candidate for governor to
succeed himself This, they hold, is
the only logical conclusion in
view of the situation as it
has developed and particularly, they
say, to carry on the work of admin
istrative reform and tax reduction as
outlined in the Philip plan and par
TALLY, at least, provided for by the
late legislature. 1t is generally believed
among his friends here that Governor
Philip will steer his course TO con-
form to this plan and that he will be q
candidate for governor.

In the Other Camp.

In the LaFollette camp the guber-
material wires are badly crossed. All
during the legislative session Senator
Otto Bosshard of La Crosse was
groomed for the governorship and for
time the course of events seemed to
favor his ambition. But Lieutenant
Gov. Dithmar and his friends are not
unmindful of his interest and recently,
since Senator LaFollette has been on the
ground, the political breezes seem to
have shifted and the Baraboo man 8
sails are catching most of the favoring
winds. It is more than likely that in
the final roundup he will be the one
upon whom the lot falls.

THE PEACEFUL CHINESE

Conditions in China continue to pro-
duce disquieting symptoms, and 1t is
certainly no real kindness to China to
conceal them in support of the fiction
that the big country has advanced far
on the road to progress. For instance,
Mukden dispatch of June "a saws:
THE Chinese military authorities here
have received report that the gar
rison troops at Chaoyangfu. province
of Jehol. rose in rebellion June 90 and
occupied the whole city of Chaovang.
They drove government officials out
of the city and set free all the prison
ers, who are now plundering the city,

Chinese employees in the railway town
of ChanGtu went for country ramble
to a village nearby. One of them re-
turned on June II saying that they
had been seized by eighteen bandits

ton of both forces the only shelters
were boulders, bushes and ravines.
The Turks turned the rugged beds of
the mountain torrents into almost i'm
pregnable trenches.
"On Monday morning the British
made violent right flank attack,
putting the enemy entirely to rout
with terrific loss. The Australian
and New Zealand forces holding the
territory to the north of Gabe Tepe,
who had been heavily engaged for
Tour days, concentrated simultan-
eously on the left flank, the attack re-
sulting in the junction and consolida-
ton of the Australians with the Brit
lsh invading force. so that now there
is continuous battle line twelve miles
long, twice cutting the main road over
which the Turks defending the penin-
suit received all their supplies.
according to Turkish announce
ment the losses in the battle were:
British, 1000 dead, 5000 wounded:
Turkish, 5000 dead, 10000 wounded. !"

STANDARD OIL CO.'S
CHINESE ENTERPRISE

The China Press of Shanghai print
ed Peking dispatch dated June IS
saying that owing to an unforeseen
affair, the date of the signing of the
contract with the Standard Oil Cor
poration for the extension of the
Shensi petroleum oil fields has been
postponed for one month from May 3.
Negotiations are proceeding satsfac-
torily between Mr.. Bemis and Hsiung
Hsi-lin."
To this the Press adds: "Mr. C. H.
Blake, general manager of the COM
pany in Shanghai, explained to the
China Press yesterday tnat the tele-
gram could not mean that there were
any special difficulties aoout. The
condition of things was such that the
signing of the contract coud not be
made definite yet, and 50 they we're
going on from month to month getting
extensions. So far no OIL had been
found. Wells had been sunk 300
feet, $500 and 100. but without re-
suits. They We're still working hard. -
In Korea oil is reported to have
been discovered or located "Z, 900 feet

the top of Mount Everest. This time
ne has the movies on mis- side. He
takes a film camera and an operator
with him, and is already negotiating
weekly leases for his Round the
I, World Tour" of which his "Conuuest
of Mount Everest" will only be a side
show. He still discusses the North
Pole calmly, and still believes he found
ii; likewise Mount Mckinley.
while no man has ever attempted
the ascent of Mount Everest, am sure
that IT can be done. Otherwise I would
not have undertaken it, l have
studied the problem as thoroughly as
is possible, and the greatest difficulty
/ that / foresee is the hostility of the
natives. Nepal. in the northern part
of which Mount Everest rises, is an in
dependent Indian kingdom and its
people see very few white men. Aside
! from that possible obstacle / believe
that the ascent of the highest of the
Himalayas will be easier than that of
Mount Mckinley In the case of the
latter peak it is on ice from 1000 feet
up, while on the sides of Mount
Everest there is vegetation up to H.
900 feet"
The mountain. however. is 29.O0o
feet high. He thinks he can CONQUER

did Mckinley in three weeks" win
he do Mt. Everest in the same way?

PENNIEN FIRST ON
FUJTS WINDY PEAK

Yearly the first ascents of Mount
Full are celebrated. This year three
Toxic students were the first. They
went up from Gotemba with a guide.
William B. Chase, musical critic of the
! New York Evening sun, and Carl
Hoffman, city editor of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, are claiming another
primary distinction. This is disclosed
in modest proclamation which they
naturally sent, marked rush." to the
Toxic papers: Greetings from the
crater of Mount Full So far as we
can learn we are the first foreigners
to reach the top this year. We walk
ed from Miyanoshita, twenty -one miles
and made the actual ascent of eight
miles in twelve hours. The climb was
made mostly by moonlight The
weather was perfect but cold, and
there was a strong gale at the top"

next musical season and what stunts
the Frisco reporters will be expected
to perform remains to be seen.

JAPAN TO MAKE DYEsTUFFs

A big government laboratory at a
cost of $5.000,000 to enable the jap
anese to make their own medicines
and dyestuffs will. it is expected. be
erected as a memorial in cefebration OF
the coronation of the Emperor this
Fall. This was decided lately by a
committee in charge, and report has
it that IL has secured the Premier's an
proval. The funds for the laboratory
are to come partly from the govern
ment and partly from individuals. and
are to he the subject of a Diet law.
Since the war dyestuffs and medicines
have not been obtainable from Ger
many. and Japan now expects to
launch the new enterprise There is
an unfortunate possibility that n
change of premiers would work to-
ward delaying the project.
