Boundary Hearing
at Superior Ended
Adjourned TO Lansing or Adrian,
Mich; Five Trunk Loads of
Exhibits.

Superior-Hearing on the boun-
dairy dispute between Michigan and
Wisconsin was concluded here Tues
day afternoon and adjourned to
either Lansing, Mich, or Adrian,
Mich, the time and place to be
decided later During the two day
session here before Special Com
missioner Margaret NJ Hoyt over 500
exhibits were received and delivered
to the commissioner and admitted
In addition counsel for the two
states stipulated as to which part of
the records are to be printed and
admitted to the permanent records.
AT either Lansing or Adrian it is
thought possible that further evil
dence viii be taken and that the
hearing there will be the last before
the case is turned back to the su-
preme court for consideration.
The five trunk loads Of exhibits
consisting mainly of maps, letters
and other documents, will be eerti-
fled by the commissioner and sent

Demonstrations of
Land Clearing
Agricultural Engineers Will Show
How to Fit Soil for Crops at
Ashland Station.

Land clearing demonstrations vii
be the center of attraction at the
Ashland Station Day, August 27.
More economical methods OF
breaking land and of blowing anC
fitting soil for crops will be
demonstrated by agricultural en-.
gineers representing the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture. f. j
Delwiche, in charge of the Ashland
Station, is inviting the farmers OF
Douglas, Ashland, Bayfield, and Iron
counties to attend the conference ia
inspect the equipment and methods
in use.
Mr. W. j. He'll, agricultural
agent of Iron county, urges all
farmers in this county to spend the
day at Ashland. The problem of
securing succulent feed for winter
feeding in this north country is be-
ing attacked by the station men, ac-
cordlng to He'll. He reports that
they will show various combinations
such as corn, sunflowers and root
crops. Because of the development
of cold resistant corn this area is
rapidly developing into a good corn
producing region. Sunflowers are
being grown to substitute for corn
in the bad seasons.
Another feature at the Ashland
field day this year will be the use of
different methods of seeding down
alfalfa. These will be actually
demonstrated at the meeting. A
home economics worker will be at
the meeting to entertain the women
folks and boys and girls leader will
entertain the boys and girls.
Make the Red Clay Less Red.
Through constant tilling the red
clays of this area are becoming less
red and their fertility is improving
through the use of legumes. The high
lime content of this soil is quite
favorable to abundant growth of
alfalfa and clover.
Delwiche has done some of his
most important pea breeding work on
the red clays at Ashland. He be-
lieyes that this region is due to be-
come the greatest pea canning area
of the state. The better quality pea
obtainable in this area is due to the
longer canning season due to the
slower maturity of the peas in this
northern climate. The cool climate
of this north country is extremely
desirable for the growth of quality
peas. The Horal pea which the
State Pea Gamers association has
adopted was bred by Delwiche at the
Ashland Station.

Artists in Their Line, One of
the Features.

The Novikoff Troupe of Russian
aerlalists and wire walkers are
recognized as among the worlds
best artists in their class. presenting
an act that is unique in its novelty
and pleasing in the extreme. an Of
fering that will appeal to all alike as
the very zenith of skill and daring.
1t will be one of the features at the
Gogebic and Iron counties Fair Sept.

Presenting a flying return act,
two ladies and two gentlemen per-
form the most astonishing evolutions
IN the air, each in turn exhibiting
talent of an unusual order and each
giving individual exhibitions of feats
of daring that cause the audience to
sit up in wonder and amazement at
the seemingly impossible aerial
athletics performed.
Years Of practice have enabled
the Novikoff Troupe to give per-
Torrance that is of most original
nature, one that has not been copied
from any other act, but that is en-
tirely made up of their own material,
whether it be the comedy stunts in
terspersed in between the more
spactatuclar feats, or the extremely
hazardous maneuvers that they go
through in the course of their act.
As tight wire artists of the first
water the two men Of the troupe give
an exceedingly clever travesty and
show the audience some intricate
wire walking. The more serious
part of the program is interspersed
with good comedy on the part of one
of the duo, the other taking The
straight" end of the program.
Most attractive and brilliant
costumes are worn by both men and
women, the entire act is presented
in most finished and artistic
manner, and the entire production is
one that would grace any fair
grounds in the country

Car Buyers Should Get Transfer
of Ownership.

Fred r. Zimmerman, secretary of
state, in a statement today warns all
Wisconsin car owners who buy cars
which are already registered in Wis
consin this year to be sure to make
the transfer Of ownership as required
by law.
The new automobile title law
which becomes effective January /,
1926, provides that Wisconsin re-
gistration for 1925 will be sufficient
proof of ownership to entitle one to
certificate Of title. However, it IS
pointed out that if the records of the
secretary Of states office shows that
the car belongs to someone else the
purchaser will be required to furnish
further proof of ownership.
The Secretary says: If you buy
car which is already registered in the
state, you should obtain from the
person from whom you purchased
the car the registration card which
came with the plates. Have the
seller sign on the reverse side Of this
card. and you should also sign your
name and give your address mail the
card with the fee Of S100 to the
Secretary Of states office and you
will then receive a certificate Of
registration for 1925 showing that
YOU are the owner Of the car. This
warning is given now TO save you
trouble next year in getting your
mates and certificate Of title

'Stream Pollution
Killing Game Fish
c-...,vation Commission Has No
Power TO Regulate Water
Levels and Dams.

Na8ison-That the state conserva-
.or commission has no power over
~ vafer levels and dams necessary
:. control the destruction of fish by
.trsam pollution is the statement of
Finer s. Hall, state conservation
+ commissioner. Reports are coming
Yam many sections of the state that
becanse Of the stream pollution by
sulnbjte mills and the low water
isyal. Thar tons of fish are being
illed One report received at the
conservation commission declares
that it required 80 men working four
3ays IL bury the fish which have died
IN the past few days at Park Falls.
In this pile of dead fish were 10
! muskelonee weighing from 10 to 40
mounds Reports of dead fish killed
by stream pollution are coming to
the board of health from the cities
If Stevens Point, Tomahawk and
Wisconsin Rapids. One of the re-
ports declares that the owners of
one of the suphite mills in the Wis
consin Valley have found it neces-
sary to have several men to patrol
the stream in the vicinity of the
mills to take out the dead fish and
hurry them. The stencil has become
so great in some localities that these
precautions are necessary to pro-
feet the health of the inhabitants.
In the face of this disaster the
state conservation commission is
poweress. The duty of regulating
the flow Of water rests with the
railroad commission. The last ses-
sion Of the legislature passed law
providing that the board of health
should cooperate with the conser-
Walton commission in checking
stream pollution of the state. Com
missioner Hall declared that his de-
partment was awaiting the appoint
ment Of an engineer by the state
board OF health.
Tons Of fish are being killed by
stream pollution in Wisconsin ac-
cording to reports that are coming
to this office nearly every day." de-
clared Mr. Hall. This department
is poWerless to check the disaster.
Persons interested should immediate
" notify the railroad commission so
that the flow Of water in the polluted
streams be increased by opening
the dams and locks. With the low
stage Of water the sulphite pollution
is twice as strong as when the water
is high Fish are said to be dying a
mile from some of the sulphite
mills. 1t is one of the most tragic
situations that have come to our at
tentlon. Large sums of money are
being spent by the state to propo-
gate fish and it would take years to
raSe a supply of fish equal to that
killed at Park Falls, Tomahawk and
Wisconsin Rapids within the past
few weeks
Tourists and residents along the
streams close to the mills report
that the stencil from dead fish is
terrible They declare that the smell
OF pea winery is not to compare
with the odors from rotten fish
along the banks of the Wisconsin
rWer IN the vicinity of the sulphite
mills and in places along the Fox
River valley This department will
cooperate to the full with the rail
road commission and the state board
