Local Firm Makes Announcement of
Interest to Farmers

Chas. S. Slack & Company have Sc
cured the exclusive sale in the state
of Wisconsin for a machine to spread
old straw piles over the farmers
meadows, new seeding and winter
grain. The benefit of the straw thus
spread in the fall and winter to win
ter grain and bleak places on meadows
and new seeding has been proven be-
yond the question of a doubt, winter
grain yielding from 10 to Is bushels
more per acre and meadows making

from Viroqua east on Bishop Branch
toPrimmer school house, thence north
east, crossing the West Kickapoo riv-
er at the Joel Nuzum place, over sec
ton p, east to La Fargo. From the
latter village east up Bear creek the
new line follows the present highway
to Dilly and Hillsboro.
The new trunk route across north
ern Vernon county extends from Hills
boro to Ontario, makes a connection
with Madison and Lacrosse by Cash
ton. From Hillsboro it follows the
La Fargo Hillsboro line east TO a
point on the south fork of the Bara-
boo river 2ls miles eats of Oily,
then branches off in a northwesterly
direction, passing midway between

MOVE FOR A
LOCAL BANK

There is a movement on foot,
inaugurated by II. A. TruslOw, of
the Peoples Bank of Hawaii, to
organize a similar peoples bank
for Kauai, to be located at Kapaa,
and do business for the whole Is
land.
The plan, so far as matured, is
to organize on the basis of a cap
ital stock of 100000 in 500 shares,
and to give the local public here
on Kauai a chance to take all the
stock they will, and the Peoples
Bank and Security Trust Co., of
Hilo, will take the balance.
The plan is to make it a thor
ough going Kauai enterprise, rep
resentative of the whole Island
and not of any one section, with
local officers and directors, and
local management.
Those who are in a position to
know are very confident that the
time is fully ripe for such an
enterprise and that it will do a
good business; Furthermore that
we, here on Kauai, might just as
we'll do this business ourselves in
stead of letting it 60 to Honolulu.
The organization committee con,
sists of e. Fl. w. BrOadbent, Chas.
Wilcox, w. d. McBryde and A. d.
Hills. This will assuredly give
the enterprise promising start,
which will amount to guarantee
of success.
