to the Voters the Amendment to
the Constitution Proposed by
the Legislature of 1907.
Madison. —Attorney Gilbert notifn and
Stcrctary of Stale Frear that the pro- ;
[),,*(-j water power amendment to the I
i.itc constitution should be submitted
tn a vote of the people at the Novem
: r election, notwithstanding that the
ni--.isiire has been acted upon by the
-gislature but once.
An amendment to the constitution
quires two passages of the legisla
te* and the sanction of a majority
of the voters of the state in a regular
election.
This amendment has once passed
1< gislaturc and came up a second
, when action was deferred pend
-I*lt the report of a special committee.
The committee’s report having

having been taken the question

at that there is a slight possibility

Hit about by beginning till over
passing a resolution through

the people. Should there be a

t be a question as to whether

Progress on New Capitol.
The main offices of the railroan
commission, were moved from the see
ond floor of the old south wing of the
capital into rooms on the ground (loot
of tho now east wing. This is some
what of a change from the plan made
some time ago to make a temporary
home for tho entire office and admin
Istratlve force of the commission It
the new Washington building on East
Washington avenue, Just off Pinckney
street.
It Is understood that the original
plan Is changed to the extent that
only the clerical, statistical and cn
giueerlng departments will go to the
quarters engaged while the conimls
sloners themselves will be provided ,
quarters more easily acces; ibh* from
the other departments of state.
The executive offices, ami those ol
tho state uperiiitemlent, the cnmniis
sloner of banking, tho adjutant pen
era! and the tax commissioner, are all
that now remain In the old south
wfnp.
Governor Davidson expects to or

Few Mushrooms Found.
The members of the Wiscoi.-in
Mycologlcal society had “scant pick
ing" during their Saturday and Run
day outings, and as a result the speci
men table was not hurd< nod tit a
meeting, In the trustees' room of the
Public museum. The meager display
included a group of Hie giant clitocybe,
a poisonous variety, having a deep
orange color; a small group of Hie
honey mushroom; several specimens
of paneolous; one or two fronds of the
oyster mushroom; and fungi that
xveve too far gone for Identification. A
botanist brought In several specimens
J of squaw root, a parasite which grows
| from the roots of the pine. The
! members of the society are amused
over reported discoveries of strange
fungi, duo to discussion of common
varieties which, because of atmos
pheric or other influences, are not
typical in form and color. Discoveries
of strange fungi are few and far be
tween, nowadays, owing to tho dili
gent searches of wood and field by
students of mycology during recent
years.

The Wisconsin State Federation of
Labor In the closing session of its an
