Sachtjen May be Reappointed
Prohibition Director.

Madison The office of state
prohibition commissioner vacated
when Herman w Sachtjen resigned
to devote all of his time to the
speakership of the assembly, remains
untitled and indications are that Mr..
Sachtjen may be reappointed at the
end of the present session of the
legislature.
With the resignation of Mr. Sacht-
jen it was understood that new man
would be appointed to the post. 1t is
known that the position was offered
to a Milwaukee man but he declined
to accept.
Mr. Sachtjen declares that he has
no knowledge as to who the next
prohibition director will be and 10
announcement has come from the
governors office. With the governor
apparently unable to find suitable
man for the position who will accept
the job it is generally believed that
Mr.. Sachtjen will be reappointed.

Morse Centennial
at St. Paul
Commemoration of Landing in Amer.
lea of First Norwegian Emigrants
Will Be Celebrated.

One of the biggest celebrations
the Northwest has ever attempted
will be the one at St. Paul June s, z,
8, 9, concentrating the Tooth
anniversary Of the landing in
America of the first Norwegian emf
grants. The sloop Restoration left
Stavanger July A, 1925, with SO
men, women and children, and land
ed in New York October 9th, after
a voyage lasting more than three
months. The sloop was a little As
ton sailing vessel which attracted
considerable attention after its ar
rival, the emigrants being hale and
hearty after the long experience on
the ocean. These pioneers settled
in Kendall town on the south shore
of Lake Ontario, establishing the
first Norwegian colony in America.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
will be guests of the Norsemen,
making their first trip west to at
tend the celebration. Constitutional
government will likely be the sub
ject of the Presidents address.
The progress of Norwegians in
America VIII be illustrated by an
exposition, which will contain every
thing pertaining to achievements
attained by the hardy and indus
trious Norsemen since the little
boatload of emigrants arrived a
hundred years ago. Among other
displays, an Ashland man is direct
ing the National ski exhibit which
will include miniature ski hill to
be enlivened by numerous Ashland
spruce, effecting a natural landscape
in the Northwoods, an attractive
display sign giving this information
to the thousands of visitors.

The county board of supervisors at
the meeting held Monday voted to
add to the. county road machinery
equipment a drag line outfit and a
steam engine, the former to cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 and the

To provide funds for the purchase
of this additional equipment it was
voted to transfer $4,000 from the

the Oma bridge fund will also be
transferred to the machinery fund.

other funds.

county receives rental from the state
for machinery used on trunk high
ways the original purchase price Of
this new equipment will probably be
realized on rentals this year
County Judges Salary.
The board voted salary of
$4,000 for the county Judge, subject
to the final disposition of the bin
passed by the state legislature which
would abolish the municipal court in
Iron county and confer its powers on

Discuss Jury Rooms.
The matter OF providing ac-
cOmodatlons in the court house for
circuit court juries came in for con-
siderable discussion. 1t was re-
ferred to the building committee to
he reported on at the next meeting.
The county was put to consider
able expense at the last circuit court
session on account of the jury having
to spend several nights at an Iron
wood hotel due to the lack of ac-
comodations at the court house.
Accommodations at any of the hotels
in Hurley were not available either
In order to avoid this expense in the
future the board may decide to build
an addition TO the court house or
remodel it so that juries can be taken

Fifty Per Cent Truck Loads.
The county clerk was instructed
to notify truck drivers that loads
would have to be limited to 80 per
cent of the carrying capacity Of
trucks used on the county's highways
during the Spring breaking up
season.
This is a precautionary measure
taken by the county dads to avoid
damage to highways during the time
that the frost is leaving the ground,
with the result that road surfaces
become soft and easily damaged by
heavy loads being hauled over them.
After the frost has gone out and the
road surfaces settled back and dried
up the danger from heavy loads is
not so great
As soon as automobile travel be-
comes general motorcycle police VIII
be appointed TO patrol the highways
in the county The board voted to
employ four this year, one more than
last year.

Number of Arrests
Has Increased
Police Have Nabbed More Since
Prohibition Than Before, Says
Anti-Saloon League.

Washington-The number of arrests
made by police throughout the coun-
try has increased nearly so per
cent since prohibition.
This / not statement by the
"wets. 1t is an admission by the
Anti-Saloon League.
The league made a survey of all
the arrests made in 100 representa-
tive cities, located in 81 states and
ranging in population from 5000 to
5000, 600
The survey showed that during
the three years preceding prohibi-'
tion-l9l7, 1918 and l919-the
number Of arrests made = in these
cities was steadily decreasing.
1t showed that since prohibition
the number of arrests has been rap
idly on the increase!
In 1917 there were a few more
than l050.000 arrests for all causes.
In 1918 the number dropped to less
than 100000 In 1919 it dropped
to slightly more than 100000.
But in 1920, the first dry year,
the number of arrests increased to
nearly $4,000. In 1921 il jumped
to more than 100000. In 1922 it
scared to nearly 100000. In 1923
it stood at more than 100000. And
the figure for 1924, estimated at the
same rate of increase, would be
more than 100000
IN other words, the number of ar
rests since prohibition has increased
from slightly more than 900 900 in
1919, the last wet year, to more
than 100000 in the year just
passed an increase of 100000
Arle sts for intoxieation before
and after prohibition show the same
trend.
The number dropped from about
325,000 in 1917 to approximately
175 600 in 1919
Then it increased to an estimated
figure of nearly 100000 in 1924
Asked to explain the figures,
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League, declared
that the increased total number of
arrests does not mean an increase
in crime.
He also expressed satisfaction over
the number of arrests for intoxica-
ton, stating that while there may
have been numerical increase the
proportion in comparison to the
total number of arrests is smaller.
In the license period before pro-
hibition,' he said, arrests for
drunkenness were 325 Of all ar
rests. In the dry years they have
only been 1873 per cent.
Increase in the total number of
arrests is due to automobile and
traffic causes, sanitary regulations,
enforced school laws and a host of
municipal ordinances. These arrests
show we are more careful of the
public welfare, not that we are more
criminal"
Wet leaders however, declare the
figures only show that intoxication
is rapidly increasing while crime in
general is still more rapidly increas-
ing
They admit that traffic and other
ordinances may have somewhat in
creased the total number of arrests
but not by 100000.

Testimony of the officials in the

Could Make Money
Raising Bacon Hogs
Northern Wisconsin Farmers Should
Take Advantage of the OPP
portunity, Declares Expert.

That North Wisconsin farmers
have tremendous opportunity to
make money by raising bacon hogs,
was a statement made by Fred b.
Hanson, of Milwaukee, one of the
speakers at the annual farm school
held Wednesday at Ashland, says
the Ashland Press.
Mr. Hanson has been prominent
official in the Danish Cooperative
Bacon factories. He is at present
director of livestock improvement
for the Cudahy Brothers Packing
company. He was educated at the
University of Copenhagen, did agri-
cultural work there, and for seven
years was in charge of selling Den
marks bacon in London. He then
studied in Canada.
Excellent bacon hogs are being
grown in parts of northwestern Can
ada where the temperature goes to
sixty below zero" he stated.
Farmers are slow to realize that
quality is the new keynote in agri-
culture" he said. Danish butter
sells in the United States-even in
our dairy states. 1t is able to sur
mount the tariff walls because Of
its quality.
This country has already more
hogs than it consumes. We must
either eat more pork or sell in for
eign markets. To do this we must
have quality product
During the war the United
States furnished ~ per cent Of
England's bacon. Since then, Den
mark has cut in on this and today
the U. S. furnishes only 25 per cent.
white Yorkshire hogs on ration
Of skim milk, small grains and
