Few are aware of the great amount of
expense in the transportation of this

Is not town in Wisconsin west of Mil
waukee which suffers so little from the
pressure of the times as Mineral Point.
And we venture to say there is no
town IN the west that consumes larger
portion of imported wares and goods,
No section OF the west offers superior
inducements to farmers, stock raisers
and wool-growers. We believe the
Pecatonlca valley was cut out or sunken
down expressly for the purpose of al.

thread its way along its level bottom.
No more eligible route could be wished

During the past two weeks large
portion of those who design togo to
California this season have started for
the land of disappointment. We are
informed those leaving this vicinity this
spring for California will exceed two
hundred, and that the whole number
from this place since the excitement
commenced cannot be less than seven
hundred Notwithstanding all this. there
is but little falling off in our population
during that time.

PRAISE FOR RAILWAYS MAYOR
E.DITOR EVENING NEWS.

LII ~ ff0
Enclosed please find a Daily
News picture of great interest to
our town. The Railway mayor is
a so-called socialist by those who
are opposed to him. From what
can learn unauthoritively he
was elected by one of the regular
political parties (either Democrat
or Republican, Since coming into
office he has been full of pep" do
ing more for the town than his
many predecessors.
He deliberately discharged the
"chief of police" for disregardins
his orders to stop gambling at car
nivals. (This incidently has caused
a young war and considerable court
action.
The milk situation in this town
must be cleaned up and 1t
goes without saying that the local
candidate for mayor will stand a
fair chance of winning should he
volunteer to take up the milk ques-
ton and make it an issue.
I learn the present situation was
brought about in Railway by the
number of underfed babies. People
were using a canned substitute.
Our public health doctor, I'm
sure, must find a similar case
among our poor in this city.
Yours truly.
