several houses and barns.
Windows were shattered and doors
torn from a great number of houses
in the path of the winds.
No reports of accidents or persons
injured were received up to a late
hour.

CHERRY CROP LOOKS GOOD
Predict Door County Will Harvest
Over 1000, 900 Quarts-Prospect
Best in State History.

Sturgeon Bay--The cherry orchards
surrounding this city will produce
according to a conservative estimate,
not less than 800 carloads, or about
100000 quarts of fruit this season.
This estimate does not include the
crop harvested throughout Door coun-
ty, for many communities market
their fruit through other channels
than the growers agencies here, but
this is the bulk of the county's cherry
crop for 1917. Growers expect the
crop to be the greatest in the history
of cherry growing in the state, their
expectations being based on the show.

LEGISLATURE ENDS ITS WORK
Will Adjourn Sine Die as Soon as Elk
!, ecutive Passes on Measures.
Few Members Remain.

Madison-The calendar work of the
legislative session of 1917 has been
practically ended, and no further at
tempt will be made to hold Quorums
during the remainder of the session
unless something unforeseen occurs.
There were the usual scenes attend
ant on the closing hours, and the as
sembly, just before the members dis
banded, marched through the senate,
led by Carl Hansen and Assemblyman
Poole, who carried an American flag.
There was also singing in the assem-
bly,. There was no rough play.
There was, however, no resolution
adopted limiting the business which
will come before the session during
the remaining days of the session.
There is general understanding
among the members, most of whom
are leaving for their homes, that no
new business will be presented and
that the business will be limited to
receiving enrolled bills, forwarding
them to the governor and accepting
messages from the governor either
signing or vetoing the bills.
The few members who will look
after the routine work will be those
who live in or near Madison and a
few who desire to remain the entire
session.

size of the mesh in nets to two and
one-half inches.

Emergency Agents With Aid Of Coun-
ty Defense Councils Work Hard
for Greater Production.

Madison-A gratifying increase has
been made in Wisconsin's acreage de-
voted to the production of food crops.
The agricultural representatives
and emergency agents have worked
hard and in line with county defense
councils and other forces interested
in increased production and conserva-
ton.
Both the county representatives
and emergency food agents, are now
putting forth every effort to stimulate
greater production of food crops, en-
cOuraging the greater efficiency of
farm labor, and imparting information
and helping to organize food conserv-
alton work. In communities where
seed for special crops have been
needed the men in the field have ably
handled the situation and provided
the farmers with what they desired, .

COAL PRICES ARE CUT
SLASH or $3.50 AT MINES MADE
AFTER DEMAND BY U. S.
Bigger Concession Due in New SEIZED
ule Effective When Committee
Fixes Permanent Price.

Washington, June 30.-An imme-
date general reduction Of 81 to $1.5O
a ton in the price of coal at the mine
was agreed upon here on Thursday by
representatives of the coal operators.
The reduction relates to bituminous
coal.
This reduction is expected to be fol-
lowed by still further decreases In
price after investigation into the costs
of mining coal, and it is probable that
the government VIII be given still
lower price than that to the general
public.
The operators agreed to the imme-
after adopting a resolution by which
coal prices would be fixed with the aid
and approval Of the secretary of the
interior, the federal trade commission
and the committee on coal production
of the national defense council.
About 600,0OO.000 tons of coal were
mined in this country last year, and
Secretary Lane, who has earnestly
urged reduction, believes that the
saving to the American people Will be
enormous.
The resolution declared that great
national emergency exists in the ma
lions fuel supply, and that the coal OPP
orators and miners desire to closely
cooperate with the government.
AS soon as this resolution was
agreed to another one was presented,
under which it was proposed that the
government authorize the government
representatives named in the resolu-
fixing a tentative price which, in their
judgment, shall be fair and reason
able one for the various districts until
the committee shall fix a permanent
price.

Fair Attractions Must Register and
Be of Reputable Nature - Un-
der State Supervision.

Madison-The character of the So
called pike" attractions a. county
fairs will hereafter be subject to state
supervision. A clause was inserted in
the peddler's license bill, providing
that all carnival shows and pike at
fractions obtaining county fair con-
cessions must file statement with
ury agent of their intention to show
on the county fair grounds and stat
ing that the character of the show
shall be looked into by representa-
t1ves of the state agricultural COM
missioner and if the shows are not of
a reputable character, the county fair
permitting the shows to exhibit is to
lose state AID
This clause in the peddler's license
bill was placed in the bill because
some of the carnival shows which
have been exhibiting at county fairs.
Another important feature of the
new peddler's license bill is clause

moving picture shows which travels

hereafter will be subject to license.
Transient skating Kinks are also of
much the same character.

ments can be made for their equip

Opinion Says 1916 Was Most Prosper

Dissented.

Washington, July 2.-The railroads

MED their petition. The commissions
order was dated June II. Commits

The commission finds that 1916 was
the most prosperous year the railroads
ever had
ut may be assumed" the opinion
says, that they might suffer some
abatement of the prosperity of that
year without being crippled or in any
way incapacitated."
The order sets forth:
That the operation of the schedules
submitted by the railroads upon which
increases were asked 'be and hereby
are suspended until October 20, 1917
Exception is made to schedules ap-
plying to bituminous coal, coke and
iron ore, naming rates in the southern
district.
Exception is made to schedules ap-
plying to bituminOus coal, coke and
iron ore, naming increased rates in the
eastern district
All schedules naming increased rates
apply Internationally between dis
tricts excepting only those applying to
bituminous COAL coke and iron ore be-
tween the eastern and southern dis
tricts.
That the use of the rates, charges,
regulations and practices stated in
such suspended schedules be deferred
upon interstate traffic until October Is
unless otherwise ordered. by the COM
mission.
The commission grants certain In
creases in coal, iron and coke rates
on the basis of eQualizing this rate
structure. The opinion also recog-
nizes that the roads in the eastern dis
trict must have increased revenue be-
yond what the new coal and iron rates
will produce.
The technical terms of the commits
Sion's order merely suspend" the pro-
posed increases to October.
The commission finds that the war
has not affected the railroads as dis
astrously as the first general state
ment of railroad witnesses might have
Indicated.
