Making Soil Survey.

A survey of the soils of the state,
county by county, is now being
made through the cooperation of
the United States department of
agriculture experiment station and
the Wisconsin Geological and Nat
ural History survey. Surveys made
a number of years ago in many of
the northern counties of the state
are now being revised and correct
ed. In the detailed survey of the
southern part of the state the field
work has been completed in Wau-
shara, Waukesha, Iron, Fond du
Lac, Buffalo, Columbia, Juneau,
La Crosse, Kewaunee, Jefferson
and Dane counties. The reports of
several of these counties are now
available for distribution according
to the announcement of A. K.
Whitson. The reports of the soil
surveys of northern Wisconsin are
especially complete and indicate
that many people who have igncr-
ed northern Wisconsin for Canada
have overlooked regions of rich
and promising lands.

Former State Senator Seeks Republican
Nomination for United States Sem
ator From Wisconsin.

Former State Senator John M /.
Whitehead, of GAINESVILLE, has en-
tered the race for the Republican
nomination for United States sena-
tor from Wisconsin, subject to the
September primaries. Senator Rob-
ert M. La Toilette, although max
ing speaking campaign of the
state, has not yet formerly an
nounced whether he viii seek re-
election. Mr. Whitehead, in an
nouncing his candidacy, said he
had waited until Gov. E. l.. Phil
ipp had withdrawn from the field
as possible candidate.
John NJ. Whitehead has long
been recognized as one of the big
men of the state, and as one of the
trainers of much good legislation.
He was born on July %, 1852, on
farm near Hillsboro, Ill. He was
educated at Hillsboro academy,
preparatory department of Wabash
college, Charlottesville, Ind, Viii
liston seminary, Easthampton,
Mass, and was in Yale college 49,
1917, where he took the degree
A. B. He studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar of Illinois i'll Oc-
tober, 1880 and to the bar of Wis
consin in September, 1888. He
came to this state i'll August of the
year, settling in GAINESVILLE, where
he has since resided. He has been
a member of the county board of
Rock county and was elected to the
state senate in 1896, 1900 and again
in 1904. In politics he has been
known as a conservative Republi-

When Charles Van Week, pion-
eer in the service of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, stepped
from the cab of his engine Wednes-
day afternoon, he closed the last
chapter on a story of forty years of
service. He retired on a pension.
The record he has established is an
enviable one. Few are there on
any road that have been as faith
full an employe as he, who can say
that they have not cost their COM
pany one dollar in wrecks or other
accidents. His forty-two years of
steady employment with the North
western road has been unstained
by one single wreck. Surely this
is a record to be proud of.
He started work as fireman on a
freight run on the Galena Division
in 1878 at the age of %. He took
a place as engineer in due course of
time and in that capacity was found
to be both steady and reliable and
one of the best men in the employ
of the company. Twenty-nine years
ago he settled at Ashland. The
past ten years he has been engineer
on the Northwestern passenger
train between Ashland and Escan-
aba.
He is 10 years of age and resides
at 1705 east Sth street Ashland with
his wife and family. He is a we'll
known and much respected citizen.

Sale of mile mileage books,
good in Wisconsin only, ends on
Dec. 2o.
On the same day the cost of g.
000-mile interstate mileage books
will advance from $40 to $45.
Both changes are made pursuant
to the ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission, and orders to
put them into effect are being sent
to railroad ticket agents in Wiscon-
sin.
Col. w. J. Boyle, general pas
senger agent here for the Milwau-
kee road, confirmed the report. He
said he had not yet received infor-
nation as to how passenger tariff
rates generally would be affected
by the ruling, but that he'did un-
derStand that interstate mileage
books, good for 1000 miles, were
to advance from $40 to S45 and
that the 2,000-mile interstate mile
age book was not to be sold in
Wisconsin after Dec. %.
When asked if that meant the
end of all intrastate mileage books
he said he inferred so, as the 900
mile books were no longer sold.
Charles Thompson, general agent
of the Chicago and North Western
road, also confirmed the report that
the 2,0O0-mile intrastate mileage
book was not to be sold in Wiscon-
sin after Dec. 90. and that the cost
of the interstate mileage books was
to advance to $45. Milwaukee

DEMAND FOR STEEL GROWING.
Consumers Are Reported to Be Offer
ing Premiums of Several
Dollars a Ton.

The steel market is boiling, :"
according to the head of one of the
large companies. Consumers are
reported to be begging for steel and
to be offering premiums of several
dollars ton above current quota
tions.
Manufacturers say that they cau-
not book as much business as they
did during November for the rea-
son that they have little available
capacity to spare. AT the same
time the demand is reported to be
far more urgent than a month ago.
Mill men say that there seems to
be 10 limit to the upward move
ment in prices. and that the net
earnings of the various companies
are exceeding all previous esti-
mates.
An almost uubroken record of
advances in prices was the feature
of the market in Pittsburgh during
the past week. Structural and steel
plate materials were advanced 81 a
ton and are now held at $50, Pitts
burgh. Steel hoops bounded from
S38 to $40 ton; sheets from $50
to $50, and steel bars to $50 ton.
The mills are all operating at capa-
city.
Some of the largest producers of
structural steel in the East say that
it will be several months before
they are in position to fill new
orders with their present capaci-
ties. The rail mills have been util-
lied to a great extent to roll steel
rounds for export. BY the begin
ming of next week they expect.
however, to start in on 1916 rail
orders which are now reported to
aggregate about 5000, 900 tons.
Considerable pressure from con-
sumers is reported to get orders
placed on the steel companies
books for delivery after July /, 49,
10, but some of the makers say
that they do not feel inclined yet
to sell for the second half of the
year. Calculations of the leading
interests in the steel trade are be-
ing based on the development of
record consumption and high pric-
es far into next year.
Rail orders are reported to be
coming forward in good volume.
The Great Northern has just plac-
ed an order for IS, 900 tons, which
has been distributed among FIVE
mills. The recent French rail con-
tract placed with an Eastern mill
was for $4,000 tons, or 10000 tons
more than was first reported.

WASHINGTON. March f.--With the

The bill provides for liberalization
Of tn. national guard unGcr mill
tary pay bin substantially similar TO

House plans, however. differ from the
Senate bill in that the President is
authorized TO draft national guards
men into the Federal service on the
outbreak OF war. The ultimate
strength OF the guard is greater under
the House plan since II maximum force
OF 10000 IS stipulated to be organized
