Extension of the w. V. R. R.

Arrangements are completed for
the extension of the w. V. r. r. to
La Crosse the coming season, Mr.,
Moses Taylor furnishing one-half of
the means and the Joy combination
the other half. Mr.. Taylor is heavy
stakeholder of the G. B. & NJ. r. r.
This gives the Joy combination a
continuous line from Wausau to the
western terminus of the Minnesota
K. r., a distance of nearly four
hundred miles The towns along,
this line will consume all the lumber
that will be manufactured in the Wis
consin river pinery contiguous to
the line of the Valley road, and the
towns In Minnesota will send the
cars back loaded with wheat to this
city, and from here to Green Bay
over the Green Bay s. Minnesota
Railroad. Thus the building of 40
miles of road from Tomah to La
Crosse will greatly benefit the three
roads mentioned. 1t will also make
Grand Rapids the central division,
where the machine and car shops
must be erected, and will have the
effect to remove the general offices
of the Valley road from Tomah to La
Crosse.
We believe it is also settled to ex-
tend the road from Wausau to Jenny,
a di stance Of about twenty miles.
The whole project is sagacious one.

only about 81 pupils. Not only this
but the number of scholars is con-
stantly increasing, new scholars COM
ing in every day. At the commence
ment OF the term, the board took I'M
der consideration proposition to
divide the school into sections, as
has been done in our sister city of
Grand Rapids-a portion attending
III the forenoon, and the remainder
in the later portion of the day. The
school board, both the teachers. as
we'll as all who visited the school,
were fully convinced that the eff
cheney of the school might be doubled
by such a measure For myself, in
order to convince those interested
that there was no disposition to shirk
on my part, | offered to teach one
hour longer each day in case the
measure was adopted. But such a
storm of opposition was raised by
the citizens, that the matter was
dropped for the time being. And
now in conclusion let me say, and
especially to those who opposed the
division Of the school, come and see
us. You have no idea Of the condi-
ton of your school whatever. If we
were laboring for you in any other
vocation, you would scarcely allow
day to pass without visiting us.
And should you not be more inter
ested in your children than any other
earthly possessions? | speak plain
ly, for out of only six visitors in my
department the past month, incluG-
ing two members of the school
board, but one has been from a par
ent of the scholars. Friends, this
ought not to be so. We are your
..
paid laborers, and you ought to be
sufficiently interested to call on US
at least once in a month and see for
yourselves whether or not progress
is being made, instead of trusting to
hearsay, and then when school closes
perhaps bringing in verdict of fail
ure on a matter you know literally
nothing about, except flying report;
when your own presence might have
materially aided and encouraged US
all, and perhaps have made our la
bors among you brilliant success.

ct his death comes to our people so
unexpectedly that we hardly realize
