| The new auto line from Madison to
Prairie du Sac carried seven passengers
on the initial trip.
/ G Thuerer, city weigher, has returned
from Marinette county where he owns
eighty acres of land from which some
timber had been taken. 1t was an easy
matter to locate the thief who settled
the bill by agreeing to pay $225. Mr..
Thuerer found the country improving
very rapidly, many new familie NOV
ing into the neighborhood. He spent
Sunday in Appleton with his son who
showed him over the city in an automo-
bile.
While out driving this week we saw
farmer who certainly wins the prize
for intensive farming. He was plow-
ng with four horse team and gar G
pillow and tied behind the plow was
another horse hitched to a drag; thus
one man was doing the work usually re-
curing three men. There is no doubt
man who devised so ingenious way
of saving time and expense is making
the maximum amount of money off his
acreage. Reedsburg Times.
Governor Philip, who was elected
on bumproof economy platform and
hooray, shut down on the Irvine plant in
the penitentiary, but soon began to
hear from the farmers. And then, like
a politician (he claims not to be poll
tician) he got busy to find goat. The
warden of the penitentiary was nearest,
so he got Mr.. Warden to send out let
ter saying, there never had been a
thought of doing such thing. Some
how, these boys who would play politics
get wonderfully busy when they hear
from the farmers. And it is we'll it is
80. That is the first essential of dem
ocratic government-to learn to know
what the people Richland Demo-
crat.
The city council and water commits,
sion have decided to erect a power sta
ton and install vertical water wheel
on the site of the Manchester mill near
the present pumping station. The
Baraboo Gas & Electric company will
put in a dynamo and use the electric
ity generated. The city sells the pow
or to the lighting company, thus avoid
ing any complication that might arise
over whether OF not the city was
engaged in selling electricity
when the company has a fran chise.
The improvement to be made by the
city will cost about IS, 900. The coun-
Gil also decided to advertise for bids for
the proposed East street sewer and the
street commissioner was ordered to re-
move a corn crib near the home of
Theron M. Case. The city holds the
crib is in the street and should be
taken away.
