Still Hope for Corn Crop.

Many of our farmer friends have
alluded to the government crop report,
especially in reference to the corn pros
poets. They fail to see the wisdom of
the governments estimate of the great
est corn crop in the nation, and when
one travels over Southern Wisconsin,
one wonders if there is not a whole lot
of speculation, To be sure, there is a
lot of corn which looks good, some ex-
celent, but there are thousands of acres
which give absolutely no promise Of
even light yield. When it gets along
to the middle of August. and corn varies
anywhere from foot high to within a
few weeks of maturity, one knows
that the farmer isn't going to get a
bumper corn crop. The government
report, however. is based upon averages
of several years, and there is little
reasoa 20 doubt that comparatively the
prospects are good for at least normal
yield If frosts keep off few weeks
longer. there is going to be lot of
good corn, but so much Wisconsin corn
is on low ground, kept wet until too
late for early planting, and this isn't
going to make even good fodder.

Animal Circus a Distinct Novelty.

AL. G. Barnes, now nationwide fam
Gus because of his wonderful animal
circus, was in Mineral Point for the
| first time with his novel and grand out
| fit Wednesday of last week, and those
who attended hope it will not be the
last time of his pitching tent here.
Enroate from Plattevile here the
long circus tain was delayed about ten
hours because of wreck caused by the
spreading of rails. AS result only
one performance was given here, and
that in the evening.
The Barnes show is purely trained
animal show and it made 2 hit in every
sense of the word. Time-worn features
were cast aside. No one would believe
without seeing how all kinds of ferocious
as well as timid wild animals can be
subdued and trained to perform. Every
feature advertised was carried out,
Lions, tigers, bears, leopards, seals,
etc, riding galloping horses and per-
forming in many other ways. The act
ing of elephants and seals was especial
ly good, and novelties were seen in the
form of trained camels, zebras and
llamas. The fire ascension where big
lion and woman trainer were pulled
to the top of the tent and there entirely
surrounded by fizzing fireworks was a
thriller. The lady singer on horseback
and ur Ser spotlight with doves coming
from IS sections and nesting on her
and het snow white steed, was a beauti-
full and speIl-binding scene.
The horses and ponies were equal in
training and looks to any ever appear
ing here.

ANOTHER GREAT MOUNTAIN
RANGE CONQUERED BY
ELECTRICITY.

The mighty Rockies, the Belt and
the Bitter Roots have bowed their
heads before the onward progress of
man and the worlds commerce and
travel move uninterruptedly across
their rugged sl.pes, transported by the
| forces Of the mountains Themselves.
Giant electric locomotives. whose only
fuel is the limitless power generated
from mountain cataracts, lift the great
all-stee trains Of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee q st, Paul Railway across the
ramparts of the Great Continental
Divide as If grades did not exist.
And now another great mountain
range, the snow-capped Cascades in
Washington, is being made to yield its
treasure-store of energy to serve the
needs Of man. Soon the bark of the
steam locomotive will be stiIed there,
for the work Of electrifying the 2l1
miles Of the main line through this range
is well under way. When this section
is completed the Milwaukee" will
have 65l miles Of it's main trahsconti-
mental line under electrical operation.
Mountain travel is given a new
charm-no smudge of smoke paints its
dirty line across snow-clad vistas--
travel is easy, smooth, silent and clean.
When next you journey to the Pa
cifc North coast take either of those
famous trains, "The 0lympian" or
1.-The Columbian, over the trans noun
tain electric highway Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee g. st. Paul Railway.
Interesting travel literature and full
information concerning this momen-
tous electrical achievement may be
had from the local agent of this rail-
way
