"a DOLLAR SAVED
is A DOLLAR EARNED. -

For the past two or three years pre-
vious to the present year, wave of
wild, reckless expanding of money by
man, woman and child swept over this
country, the like of which is not found
in history. The dollar had no more
value than the nickel = nothing seemed
to be priced high enough to suit the
buyer. Grasping, CONSCIOUSNESS, blood
less sharks lay awake at night schem-
ing to take advantage of the weakness
OF their neighbors' folly. 1t was a
mazing at the time and even now
looms up as bewildering mystery.
But change has set in. The people
are drifting, as they should, back to
normally. How to save dollar is
what the average citizen is considering
now. The Tribune car tell you how in
this way: Be in Mineral Point either
Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. rs and
e, or both days if you choose, as that
il when the merchants of this city have
decided, collectively, to place on sale
substantial, up-to-date goods of necessi-
ty, no matter whether to eat or wear,
at prices so low that you cannot do
better anywhere in the United States.

FENNIMORE 10, MINERAL POINT s.

Last Friday afternoon the local high
school foot ball team was defeated for
the first time this year in close
and exciting game. The Mineral Point
boys took the lead in the first quarter
by registering touchdown after long
pass to Phillips who made a spectacular
catch and run. Failing to kick goal the
boys took the field with the score 6 to 0
in their favor and held the rushing
Fennimore team until the middle of the
third quarter. Mineral Point held their
opponents twice within two yards of a
touchdown, but was not able to do it
often enough, and Fennimore register
ed two touchdowns, one in the third
quarter and one in the fourth. The re-
turn game is set for Nov. a. Here's
hoping for reversal of results.
The next game for our team takes
place at Dodgeville on Friday of this
week.

NEW TRANSMISSION LINE
Practically Completed Between Mineral
Point and Prairie du Sac

1t is announced by the Wisconsin
River Power Company that the new
transmission line carrying power from
the Prairie du Sac Electric Plant to
supply the city of Mineral Point is
practically completed and Mineral Point
will be getting its power from the
Prairie du Sac Plant within very short
time.
The company wishes to caution the
users of current, that it is possible that
Interruptions may occur on the new
line, because of the fact that it is new
line. The material going into the con-
struction of this line has been selected
and inspected with great care, and yet
it has been the experience of the com
pany that faulty material sometimes
creeps in, thereby causing interruptions
to service. The faulty material may
lay in a weak insulator, faulty con-
struetion of switch, or insufficient
clearance between the 33, 600 volt line
and trees. These points cannot always
be determined until after the current
has actually flowed through the wires,
and therefore it Is quite probable that
Interruptions will occur on this line the
same as they would on any other new
machinery or apparatus. Delay in the
shipping of the automatic switches, etc
has been experienced, and until this
material is received and installed 1.-THE
company hopes this will be within a
very few days. some trouble is liable to
occur, because the line is not thorough
~ automatic. as it will be later on.
The company wishes to assure the
people of Mineral Point that it is anx-
ions to serve them at the earliest pos
sibe moment, but wishes them to re-
alize that new transmission line is
about the same as a new mill being put
into operation; that is, until it has
operated for time, all the weak points
cannot be located The patrons may
rest assured, however, that interrupt
tions will be cut to a minimum that
the lines will be carefully watched and
inspected for weak points.

sheep and millions of cattle. but they
have been mostly driven back into the
foot hills and mountains and now their
old feeding grounds in the valley are
occupied by the vineyardist and or.
chardist.
Last evening, on our way home from
the fair, and in passing through the
foot hills that covers part Of this so
mile trip. we ran into a drove of more
than 500 fat cattle being driven from
their summer feeding grounds in the
mountains to the nearest shipping point.
They were rolling fat. and some of
them very bravely disputed our right
of way. They are often driven at night
to avoid contact with road travel. and
also to take advantage of the cool of
night.
just within the hour have been to a
neighbours shack to see a large wolf
that he caught within our camp last
night. Wolves have been exceedingly
bold of late, only few nights ago they
killed valuable dog for the Parkin-
sons whilst trying to protect the pou-
try from the thieves. Every night they
go through the camp like lot of yelp-
ing hyenas. Bot tie big ground squir-
rel is far greater nuisance to Us than
are the wolves. When we came here
four months ago we could scarcely leave
our poultry to feed alone, the rodents
were so bold and numerous, but we
have poisoned them and shot them, and
trapped them until we have them pretty
well subdued
1t scarcely seems possible that we are
in this wild section and yet only com
paritivly a few miles from the great
centers of activity and development.
But those who know California know
that within few hours auto travel one
may have his choice of any kind of sur
roundings or any kind of climate, and
only those who taken advantage of this
is fully qualified in rendering verdict
on the merits or dement's of the state.
