WASHINGTON Letter

Washington, March ct is ex-
pected that an era of agitated speech
and electiOneering will replace the
brief period of cooperation on legis-
lative action. The lid will be raised
on partisan clamOr when the essen
tial tax bills are out of the way.
1t is reliably reported that no major
legislation will pass after the revenue
measure and the remaining depart
mental appropriation bills are out of
the way. Obviously, political con-
troversy will crop up in consideration
of the tax-raising measure. The
House of Representatives is scheduled
to dispose of the revenue proposition
within a few days without much
change in the committees recommen-
dations. A Republican Senate may
have another Interpretation of tax
producing methods differing from the
Democratic House.
Anxiety as to their political future
is evidenced by many Legislators. It
was openly charged in the Senate re-
Gently that the Congressional Record
was cluttered up with articles and
other data for the sole purpose Of
sending it through the mails without
cost. These "leave to print" sections
become official when printed in the
journal of Congressional proceedings.

Denham Manufactures 30
937 Pounds More Butter
in 1881 Than in 1890.

Two more Pine county creameries
held their annual meetings during
the past week when the Finlayson
and Denham cooperative concerns re-
viewed their past years business.
Both report a successful year.
The most recent of these to hold
its meeting was the Finlayson Farm
ers Cooperative Creamery at which
a fair sized crowd of patrons gathered
Monday to elect officers and in gen.
eral transact business pertinent to
the annual meeting of the associa-
ton.
The annual report of the creamery
showed it to be in excellent financial
condition manufacturing during the
year of 1881 a total of 262,675 pounds
of butter for which the average price
of 25.7 cents was paid. The books
cents per pound, while the overrun was
23.43 per cent. Although the pounds
of butter manufactured in 1881 was
less than in 1880 owing to the drouth
OF the past summer the outlook for
1882 is more promising and right
now according to the buttermaker,
Oscar Bergseth, the creamery is maxi
ing more butter than it has ever made
in certain length of time. The
amount of butter made in February,
1882, exceeded that manufactured in
the same month last year by over 1000
pounds.
c. l.. Smith was chosen to head the
creamery as president for the coming
year; Fred Entner was elected vice
president; Hollis Ladd, director for
three years and E. N. Bengtson, man.

Art Rentz, field man for the Land
O'Lakes, and A. j. Mcclure, general
manager of that organization, were
present and gave interesting and in
structive talks to the patrons and
those present at the meeting.
Dcnham Increases Output.
At the annual meeting of the Den
ham Farmers Cooperative Creamery
Association last Thursday, March 3,
it was seen that the creamery made
a total of 297,33O pounds of butter in
1881 to show an increase of 3O,937
pounds over the total of 1880. The
usual large crowd of stockholders and
patrons, about $50 including 80 ladies,
was present and much interest was
taken in the proceedings. The aver
age price paid to patrons for butter
fat was 2S.03 cents and the total cost
per pound amounted to 2.79 cents.
The efficiency score of Buttermaker
Allen Irene was 9S.45 for the past
year.
During the course of the trans
action of regular business items, a
lively discussion relative to the well
fare of the creamery was taken part
in by many and Herman Berg of Rush
City, chairman of District No. board
of directors, made a few brief re-
marks saying among other things that
cooperation among the farmers was
the only salvation for them. Art
Rentz, District No. field man of the
Land OLakes, also made a very in
teresting talk and commended highly
the way in which the creamery was
being operated.
The entire creamery board was re-
elected for the coming year and con-

EQUIPMENT SAVED
AS SCHOOL BURNS

The Pine Lake school west of
FfnlaySOn, was burned to the
ground Monday morning at about
IL O'Clock. The first knowledge
the teacher, Miss ROsalie Weber,
had of anything wrong, was when
she heard something fall in the
attic, and thinking the wind had
blown bricks from the chimney,
had one of the scholars, David
LaSka, go outside to investigate.
He ran back to say the whole
south side of the roof was I'm
flames, which the hard wind
famed fierceIy. Miss Weber sent
word to the nearest telephone for
help and with the aid of the pu.
pills began to clear the building
OF its equipment Help soon ar.
rived and before the flames
burned down to the school room,
everything had been removed,
desks, books, blackbOards and
even some of the windows.
1t Is thought that chimney
fire which occurred earlier in the
morning may have cracked the
chimney which was cold over the
weekend and allowed flames to
escape into the attic, causing the
fire. At this writing the school
board has not decided what to
do, but 1t Is possible a place will
be secured where the two remain.
Ing months of the term will be
finished.

Senator Is on the Job.

h'ShosVl 40 VII viz OVos
Senator LaFollette is constantly
fighting on the side of the people in
the national house of Congress. He
was co-author of the LaFollette-Cos-
bill, which would have taxed wealth
instead of real estate for the relief
that is needed. While the bill did
not become law the young senator
put up valiant fight and the vote
was rather close, showing gradual
gain for the progressives. The sena-
tor fought the obnoxious Hawley-
SmOot tariff bill and gave much as
sistance to Senator Norris in his fight
to do away with the lame-duck ses-
sion of Congress, and which resolution
for the amendment to the constitution
has now finally passed after years of
arduous labor by the progressives.
During the debate on the relief bill
the senator said: Il appeal to the
senators in this body not to be as
before the revolution" 3
Governor LaFollette has made a
wonderful showing in the short time
but little over a year-that he
has been chief executive of Wiscon-
sin. The government is conducted in
a business-like manner, and the young
executive shows plainly that he has
the situation well in hand, that he
has made deep study of government
and that he knows the needs of the
people-that he is close to them.
