in Chippewa county knows John Kane,
the twenty-hOrse power chairman OF the
county board Of supervisors, who has
claimed this county as his residence for
the past twenty-five winters and as
many summers. He was, as the poet
says, ''born of poor but Irish parents"
and is as full of vim and energy as a
Jersey mosquito in July. He has been
a member Of the county board for seven
years, and has always eXerted great in
fluence on account of honest character
and unimpeachable integrity. He was
an old soldier, having CALAMITY served
four years in the regular service, and
bears the brunt of numerous conflicts.
He is also prominently identified with

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
One of the first, if not the very first,
question asked by shrewd men seeking
a location is about educational facilities.
sHave you good schools?" Chippewa
Falls people themselves are scarcely
aware of the rapid growth of the schools.
in numbers and in efficiency. A few years
ago there was but one building; now
there are six. In these six buildings,
all heated and ventilated by the latest
methods ana furnished with the best
modern appliances,90S children are now
enrolled. Twenty-four teachers directth
young idea after the most approved
methods, all aided and controlled from
the superintendent office. There is no
nonsense about the course of study. but
the essentials are done thoroughly,
and the boy or girl who completes the
High school course of four years
has a good English education and
may enter the state university for
The English course without eXamina-
ton. The old method of depending on
examinations for promotion is almost
abandoned. Another new feature is a
library plan by which the best books in
the world are selected by each teacher
and taken to her pupils.
The High school building has fine APP
paratus, piano, library, electric bells,
is model school building and no !, en-

The board of education are prominent
business men, but they are never too
busy to look after the school interests,
to attend the regular board meetings or
look after committee work.

GENERAL FEATURES.
The general features of Chippewa
county, closely analysed, are: The
wealth stored up in its hardwood for
ests, which are comparatively I'M
touched. but await the energy and
enterprise of the manufacturer and
artisan to utilize; the innumerable
natural water-power privileges, and the
rich and productive acres only requlr-
ing to be tickled with the husbandman'S
hoe to yield bounteOuS harvest. In
point of ;healthfulness no exceptions
can be taken, the atmosphere being
clear and dry and free from all malarial
tendencies. The streams and lakes
abound in fish of every kind, while in
the woods are found large quantities OF
wild game. Considering. then, all these
points, no greater attractions or induce
ments can be offered the hOmeseeker
than the county of Chippewa presents.

CHIPPEWA COUNTY.
Its Location and Natural Re-
sources Detailed.

Geographically the county is in about
the same latitude as St. Paul, and con-
tains nearly 100000 acres, being one
of the largest counties in the state. In
point Of natural resources no county in
the Northwest can compare with it,
nature having been lavish with her re-
sources of wealth, providing a soil of
unexceptionable prolficness, grandeur of
scenery, ineXhaustible quantities of
timber. building stone and never-fail-
ing rivers, creeks, lakes and springs.
The county has fifty-eight townships,
divided into fifteen organized towns and
one Incorporated village, as follows:
Bend, Cleveland, Colburn, Eagle Point,
Edison, Flambeau, Lawrence, Lafayette,
Sigel, Tilden, Wheaton, BlOomer
village.
Some of the towns are extraordinarily
large, that of Lawrence containing
nine government townships, and others
with several. The Chippewa river
courses nearly the entire length of the
county, and with its tributaries branch
ing out in all directions, not only irri-
eating the soil but atfOrding facilities
for transporting the
MILLIONS OF PINE LOGS
from their native heath to the haunts
of saw mills and civilization. Some Of
the handsOmest lakes, surrounded by a
beauty of scenery rarely equaled, dot
the county, while innumerable streams
of pure spring water meander through
the valleys, and whose sparkling, crys-
tai waters TEEN with speckled trout.
The diversitieS of the county are varied,
the northern part being chiefly
timber, and constitutes portion
of the great Wisconsin pineries.
The central portion possesses about the
same characteristics as the northern,
while the eastern portion, especially in
the town of Edison. is heavy growth
country, interSperSed with fine farms
under the highest state of cultivation.
The southern part of the county is
mostly devoted to agricultural purposes,
the soil being prolific without constant
fertilizing, and produces extraordinary
crops of wheat, oats, corn and barley
The population of the county is $4,000,
and has 100 school districts. Outside of
Chippewa Falls there are
SIX SPRIGHTLY VILLAGES
that are rapidly developing into i'm
portant trade centers, viz: village of
Cadott, town of Sigel, population 700;
Boyd, town of Edison. population 700;
Bloomer, town of Bloomer, popula-
ton 1000; Stanley, town of Ed
son, population 300; Cartright,
town of Auburn, population 300;
Bruce, town of Big Bend, population
300. At Boyd is located one of the most
complete stave and heading factories in
Wisconsin, owned by Circle & Son, and
whose products are shipped in large
quantities to every point of the COM
pass. At Cadott the Webster & Clark
Manufacturing company have an ex-
tensive hub and spoke factory with a
reputation for supplying all demands.

pany, under the proprietOrShip of F. G.
Il G. A. Stanley, and while it dates it's
first existence back to 1882, under the
management of stock company, it
really owes the date of its birth to this
spring, as it has risen Ph9niX-like
fromsthe ashes of its predecessor that
was burned last summer, and reopened
its doors for the first time about one
month ago, and gave employment to
twenty-five men, which will soon be in
creased to forty.
They have a complete outfit of both
buildings and machinery for turning
out 100000 feet of lumber each year
into sash, doors and blinds, stair-work
and inside finishing of all kinds from
hard or soft wood This company
makes estimates and contracts for
everything pertaining to house or
store. Scroll saving of all descriptions
is done on the shortest notice, and the
products of the factory are shipped to
every part of the state. The short time
it has been in operation is sufficient to
demonstrate the quality of work done
and the capacity for meeting all de-
mandS.
