WON EXPRESS RATE CASE

The ruling of the Montana Rail-
road commission stands the recent
application Of the express companies
for a raise in rates will not be grant
ed. The commission in its report
mentions specifically the showing
made to the effect that the raise in
rates would damage traffic to such an
extent that there would be no in
creased revenue.
The commissions strong reply to
the petition of the carriers makes it
apparent that the carriers did not
present evidence that the Montana
zone rates, already the biggest in the
United States, were not producing
profits within this state, and took
issue with any plan which would take
Montana money to other parts of
ton that will at the same time safe
guard them against losing their prop
erty and avoid the danger that threat
ems Western States with large Indian
population from finding themselves
later on burdened with an excess of
paupers. CARL w. RIDDICK,

tives, Washington.

S SOUTHWEST COUNTIES STUDIED.

A geographical, historical and eco
nomic study of the southwestern coun-
ties of Wisconsin, which has recently
been made. will be published in a
bulletin of the state geological survey
next year.
Grant. La Fayette, Iowa, and the
western portion of Green and Dane
counties form a district known as 1.-THE
driftless area" because it was not
reached by the glacier. The district
is divided by Military ridge" which
runs west from Madison. North of the
ridge the soil is poor, the size of the
farm is larger per mar, and the popu-
lation is about half that of the southern
part.
The cost of road building. due to the
increased cost of grading, the number
of bridges and guard rails needed in
the southern districts, is 81, 500 more
per mile of state road than in eastern
districts largely because of the fact
that the unglaeiated portion is much
rougher.
In the historical development of thes,
counties. FIRST the dominant industry
was fur trading. then mining. and sine,
1850, agriculture. with dairying in tn,
lead.

BE HUMANE.

Protecting animals. fowls, etc, from
the suns hot rays and providing them
with ample pure water is a necessity
and humane. Many animals die from
want of shade or shelter from the sun,
or from want of water. The resultant
financial loss is always greater than
the investment necessary to provide
them shelter and comfort. And be sure
that plenty Of fresh water is always
handy for the dog, the cat. the horses,
the cows, the hogs, the chickens, the
birds, etc. roundabout you. He who
s Indifferent and don't care, should dis
pose Of them, or else they should be
taken from him.
We have no moral right to subject
any living thing to unnecessary suffer-
ing The shipping of live stock in ex-
tremely hot weather entails much suf-
fering, and is therefore something to
be avoided If possible. Where il is
done water given often is absolutely
necessary.
This is deemed a proper time and
place to refer to the hardship land why
not call it cruelty) imposed upon young
calves brought to this city for shipment.
To accord with train movements and
the convenience of those disposng Of
calves, the helpless little things are
dumped into a stockyards pen in the
evening, and there they are, not know
ing how to eat or drink, awaiting ship
ment on w-going freight and fur
Their torture for want of nourishment.
During the night these unfortunate lit
tie critters let loose believing whines
that may be heard throughout the city,
if the wind blows from that direction.
Such Is not humane, and should be
corrected.

Birthday Parties.

Mrs. Joseph Harker entertained
twenty-five girls at her home Friday
afternoon in honor of the 18th birthday
of her daughter Goldie. Supper was
served, followed by motor trip to the
farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Thomas. Enjoyment was of the inn
mense variety.
A surprise picnic supper, attended
with great pleasure, was given Mrs. r.
j. Engels at her home July 10th, by
twenty-five near relatives, in honor Of
her birthday anniversary.
Twelve young lady friends of Miss
Agnes Mauger arranged a surprise
birthday party in her honor Saturday
evening. A sumptuous supper was
served on the lawn, followed by dancing
to the music of the Edison aud motor
trip, making the occasion one to be re-
membered with pleasure.

VERY SUCCESSFUL PICNIC.

The annual picnic of the First Congre-
gationa Sunday School and church of
this city which was held at Crystal
Lake. Dodgeville. last Thursday was an
event of large proportions. not only
large in attendance but large in pleas
ure, good cheer and happy fellowship.
One hundred and eleven auto loads of
people from the parish were gathered
at the lake at the supper hour. The
Mineral Point Band added additional
seasoning and spiciness to the evening
out-of-door meal by their generous
supply of music, which is always me-
lodious and enchanting. The day was
ideal for just such an occasion and old
and young enjoyed the outing to the
last atom.
This is three years in succession in
which this annual event was staged at
Crvsta Lake, but there is a hopeful
vision that next years picnic might be
he'd in the proposed American Legion

PARK WITH LAKE.

The Tribune's agitation of the great
need of local park with lake is bear,
ing fruit. How long it will take to
ripen is yet a question. Desire with a
a strong determination is taking hold,
and those displaying activity in the
movement are entitled to the rallying
support of every citizen. Mineral Point
should have, must have, such an add
tion to its attractiveness.
Within the past week MIR. Dodge,
an expert and reliable surveyor of
Madison. has been carefully inspecting
the Kislingbury property. A three
acre lake therein is desirable The
main question is. will the incoming
flow of pure water be ample? Mr.
Dodge has intimated that if the pres
ent flow is the minimum it should be
Sufficient.
No matter what the outcome of Mr.,
Dodge's labors, Mineral Point should,
as we've agitated for years, have a
park with lake-an inviting pleasure
spot. If it requires several thousand
dollars, civic pride should not permit
that to stand in the way.

THE LEGION BENEFIT DANCE.

Il is believed that no dance that has
taken place in Mineral Point land to
tell the number would require four fig
ures) ever drew as large number Of
people as did the Legion Benefit Dance
last Thursday evening. They came
from every direction. near and far.
High, Commerce and Fountain streets
we're literally jammed with autos. The
large Community Hall and approaches
thereto were surcharged with jolly,
we'll. attired humanity. II was a pleas
ing sight not to be quickly forgotten.
The Legion boys enjoyed and appre-
eiated the turn out. OF that we are
sure.
The Ford Coupe given away on this
occasion became the property Of Thos-
league and Chad Harker, both OF
Waldwick, who held the winning ticket
in partnership, which fell to them
through some betting process field day.
