NEW Works. PLIGHT.

That a great city like New York
should be so completely routed by an
eight inch snow is a most remarkable
condition and one that never before
overwhelmed the great metropolis.
Many other deeper snow storms have
visited New York, but none so COM
pletely staggered everything and every
body as this last one Some statis-
ticians make the losses to the business
as high as $5,000,000 daily, or over $50, :
100000 to date.
There must be close to 100000 pop
ulation in Greater New York, and if 10
per cent of the people had gotten out
and bestirred themselves the entire
fall of snow could have been removed
within "a hours. They speak in the
newspapers of 21,000 men working at
one time removing the snow. They
have made slow progress in the last
stages because the snow finally froZe,
and at last it all had to be picked out
with ak, pick or mattOck. A hundred
men with picks cannot dig away as
much snow and ice as ten could when
the snow falls first. If the city of New
York had been in the least prepared
for this snow what has taken place
could never have happened. In all vii
lagos and most towns snow is generally
removed by the inhabitants. New
York is no better nor worse than
other communities, hence the real
cause of all this great loss of millions
is due to the people themselves, for
they could easily have done the job in
jiffy.

SAYS, WOMAN IS A CHATTEL
British Husband Bases Divorce DAM
age on Claim Woman Has No
Legal Status.

London.-It is q basis Of a hus-
bands claim for divorce damages that
his wife Is still in fact II not in law
q chattel of his. This was the theme
of an interesting argument before JUS
tice McCardie in the divorce court,
arising out Of case in which dam
ages were sought against the CO.
respondent by the husband. Counsel
for the petitioner said that up to the
matrimonial causes act Of 1853 a
woman was regarded as a chattel and
the jury had to award damages ac-
cording to her value to her husband.
His lordship then asked when had a
wife ceased to be regarded as a chat
tel. Counsel for the petitioner said
he had not suggested that this idea
had gone.
Judge-You say she is still to be
regarded as a chattel?
Counsel-Yes, with slight modifica-
ages is what she Is worth.
Judge-Then you call her quasi
chattel?
After some further discussion JUS
tice McCardie asked If as the result
of counsels researches he could show
that wife could bring action against
the seducer of her husband.
Counsel said there was no such case
and that there could not be such an
action because a woman had not the
same legal stains or the same legal
rights as q man.

RattIeSnakes Prove
Menace to Stock

Portsmouth, Tex. - Rattle
snakes in large numbers recent
ly have been seen swimming in
the Gulf of Mexico near the Half
Moon lighthouse, seven miles
from the mainland and four
miles from the peninsula to the
south, according to the two men
who keep the light. 1t is said
three rattlers were killed on the
lighthouse platform by the keep
ers. Tenants on property which
formerly constituted the Rancho
Grande here report a pestilence
of rattlesnakes, which, they say,
are q menace to live stock. How
ever, it is reported by a number
of farmers that fat cattle, bitten
by rattlers, do not die, the poi
son from the bite of one snake
being insufficient to kill them.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
That a Modern Structure is
Needed in This District is
Easily Shown.

A mass meeting of the citizens
of Eagle River and vicinity was
called by the high school board
for the purpose of getting an ex
preston of their wishes in regard
to much talked of and sorely
needed new high school building.
The meeting was held at the
high school assembly room last
Thursday evening. Oscar Gun
derson called the meeting to ord
er. George Hall was elected
chairman and Chas. Adams was
elected secretary.
The chairman started the OBJ
Iject of the meeting asking Alex
Higgins to explain the procedure
by which a building might be OBJ
tanned. Principal Marshall was
called on to describe the present
inadequacv of rooms occupied by
the high school as we'll as point
out some OF the needs OF a well
equipped modern building.
A wide emergency of opinion
existed as to the probable cost,
ranging from $4,000 to as high
as 100000. An item of inter
est was presented by Frank Car
ter who had with others figured
the increased taxation for
building worth 100000 to be
about 1915 per $1,000 taxable
property for bonds covering 20
years-this amount diminishing
gradually toward the end of the
period.
Resolutions passed were that
the district desires a new high
school building; that Principal
Marshall should write to the
State Department of Education
asking for representative to
present plans and figures for ade-
! quate buildings at a meeting to
be called in the near future; and
that Mrs. Lawler, Fred Behn
and Joseph Habrich be a commit-
tee to notify the high school
board of the action of the meet
ing.

WANT CAMPING SITES
Every Village and City in
North Part of State Should
Establish Accommodations
for Tourists.

"That the cities of the state
should provide camping sites, "
was the suggestion made by ].
A. Lakewood, chairman of the
Wisconsin highway commission
in an address before the rural
planning committee of the good
road school.
"The tourists in Wisconsin last
year were embarrassed time and
time again on account of their
inability to secure room reserva-
tions in hotels" said Mr.. Hazel,
wood. Hotel men and resorts
were very much annoyed by hav-
ing demands made upon them
for rooms by the travelling pub
lie that they could not supply.
Many of the tourists that came
to Wisconsin from Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio and other southern
states, brought with them com
plete camping outfits, but in
many cities and villages they
were unable to find places suit
able to camp.
Camping grounds for the pub
lie can now easily be obtained in
or near the limits of most all OF
our cities and villages. The long.
er we wait the more difficult it
will be to secure suitable sites
for camping grounds. The rural
planning committees o. the state
should start campaign at once
to secure in or about the city
limits of all cities of the state
suitable camping grounds for
the public"

they were builded and added for

The number of big farms in the

cares to investigate. There are
so many of these in the making
that the attempt to enumerate
them at present is an impossi-
bility.
One farm making a record run
toward perfection is the Rad
cliffe farm four miles northwest
of Eagle River. But three years
in the transition from a forest
to cultivated fields, the stride to-
ward the goal of farm perfection
has been wonderful. Three years

there are over seventy acres un-

ONEIDA'S BIGGEST ASSET
Sunset Farm to Go After Big
Yield Next Season-Farm
of a Thousand Acres.

"The showing to be made this
coming season in certified and
select potatoes and grain at Sun
set Farm will but be a fore-run-
ner of what this farm of a thous-
and acres will be creating within
few years." said L. F. Pope,
manager of the above farm, to
the News last Saturday.
While Sunset Farm is primar-
lily an Oneida county asset still
Villas county LAYS claim to it, in
somuch as part of it lies in Villas,
the county of big dairy dollars,
big spud growers and big boost
ers. We progressive fellows of
this county of Villas, an extra
ordinary county, mind you, have
watched this farm grow from a
wide unbroken tract of stumpv
cut-over land. to a beautiful
tract of level acres under scien-
tihc crop cultivation.
1t has been no guess work
proposition, but one that has
been carefully studied as to soil
conditions, it's adaptability to
certain crops and marketing pos
sibilities. And the results have
been in excess of the expecta-
tons. 1t doesn't need the sworn
affidavit of Sir Bill Johnsing in
order to convince you of the
truth relative to the thousands
of prime seed potatoes taken out
of the ground, nor does it need
shipping receipts to authenticate
the shipment of hundreds of
bushels of certified grain which
is finding a ready market with
pure seed buyers. Sunset Farm
specializes in Triumph and Cob
bier potatoes and rye. This farm
is an asset Oneida county should
be proud to claim. With more
acreage being cleared on this
farm over the fence in Villas, we
certainly give warning to Oneida
that automatically Sunset Farm
will eventually be classed as this
county's asset in its entirety.

HINES ON THE RAILROADS.

Walker D. Hines, director general
of railroads, delivered an address in
New York last night which may well
cause the people of the United Statei
TO sit up, rub their eyes and take no
tice. Mr.. Hines is a practical railroad
man, he is great lawyer and a close
student of the economic and social
conditions of this country, therefore,
his opinions are entitled to careful
consideration. Also, let it be said in
passing, that he is absolutely honest
and his conclusions regarding the
railroad situation are in no respect
influenced by spartisan politics.
Mr.. Hines believes that congress
should enact legislation providing for
retention of the roads under govern
ment control for a period of years
at least long enough for conditions in
cident to the war to become settled.
lie says that the roads are not in con-
dition now to meet financial obliga-
tons without q large increase in
freight and passenger rates, and that
such increase will not be popular with
the public That conclusion, beyond
doubt, is correct.
one of the strong statements made
by Mr.. Hines is:
Il do not believe that there can be
successful regulation of the railroad
industry without a basis for mutual
understanding between those repre-
senting the public, labor and the own
ers respectively. In the past there
70 "a nj N 81
except at the end of dispute AMI con-
troyersy Each of the great interests
has worked to large extent entirely
aloof from the other two"
Mr. Hines makes it clear that labor
~and, the public should participate I'M
the management of the roads, so that
all three interests will have opportu-
nifty to understand the Reasonable
needs and expectations of each other.
Unless some tripartite control is de-
vised, Mr. Hines says that within a
few years the demand for government
ownership of the roads will become
so insistent that it will not he denied. |
That he does not endorse the Plumb
plan, may be taken for granted. That
plan is as dead as julius Caesar Iii
left the paying public at the mercy
of labor and the operators, and theI
public is not foolish enough just yet
to put its head between the upper and
neither mllstones.
While the address delivered before
the New York Bar association is too
long for the Journal to publish in full.

gives the essentials of Mr.. Hines ar

per appears to be OF a mind that law
$ made to he enforced, and that an
offender in the home is not different
rom one outside. While a less fine
or a prison sentence shorter than the
maximum might be imposed on con
fiction, the fact that such severe pen
llties are possible shows that drastic
punishment may be melted out to vio-
lators If circumstances warrant.
1t is probable that there are those
who will take chances on their ability
to manufacture the goods without the
government authorities being aware
of it, but such operations are hazard
Gus and will not be undertaken by
law-abiding citizens, no matter what
,heir views may be on the wisdom Of
prohibition. Those who do dare defy
the law will take the step deliberately
and therefore will not have the de-
Tense of impulse to excuse their ac-
ton. The producer of Illicit liquors
is likely TO carry enough evidence Of
his guilt with him to arouse suspicion.
