WE HOPE ITS 4 60.
The Chair Factory not yet Set
tied, but Probably Will be.

While the chair factory is not yet, by
any means, an assured fact, yet the
committee who have the matter in
charge hope to consumate it. AS far as
this city is concerned, they have nearly
ready all their part of the agreement,
but that il not sufficient. We want to
know, now, that Mr.. Whipperman has
not changed his mind and is ready to
accept the same proposition he made
us while here. When he left this city
he said he would take inventory of his
machinery and stock and send US copy
Of them, which he has not done and
four weeks have passed since ne was
here. The committee heard from him
about two weeks agoin which he said he
was then taking the inventory and as
soon as completed would send us copy.
Still we don't hear from HIM.
Mr.. T. j. Wood chairman of the
committee, circulated list for shares
of stock at 500 share and succeeded
in raising the following amounts which
insures the $4,000 stock necessary for
this city to raise. Here is the list:

SELFISH Be ASTING.

Through a deal made last week, the
Upham Manufacturing Company will
come into possession of the immense
tract of timber aggregating about Is, 600
600 feet between this city and Centralia,
on the line of the Port Edwards, Cen
tralia & Northern Railway now build
ing. The tract extends over some
5000 acres of ground and is located in
the towns of Marshfield, Richheld and
Sigel. About 100000 feet OF timber
would otherwise have been sawed at
the other end of the county, but now
will come to Marshfield, and this deal
alone will furnish sufficient timber to
keep the mills in logs for number Of
wears to come. The public will probab-
" better appreciate the transaction,
when they know that the enormous
amount of $40, 900 was paid for it. The
Marsbfeld & Southeastern line of road
now passes within two miles Of the
tract.
This is the timber about which SO
much has been said in connection with
the building of the so-called Port
Edwards, Centralia & Northern Rail
way, and which was owned by the
Sherry-Cameron Company, of Nesper,
and John Arpin, of Grand Rapids
Recently the Sherry Cameron Company
sold its interests in the property to
John Arpin, making that gentleman
tie owner. The current rumOr was
that the desire t. get the timber to the
other end of the county, inspired the
idea to build the line of Railroad from
Port Edwards to Marshfeld. The logs
were to be taken to Centralia and there
cut into lumber and probably this
would be an incentive for the building
Of furniture factory like the one IN
Marshfield which gives so many men
steady employment. This was the
favorite picture Of the projectors of the
Port Edwards road to the public. 1t
has always been doubted by the News.
Does anyone believe it now? The
gauziness of the tale is now apparent
to veryone-Marshfel News.
We are glad to announce that the
above deal did not take place as noted
by the MarshfeId News. The tenor Of
the article indicates too plainly what
kind of "slush" the News is anxious to
publish to the detriment of the twin
cities. We hold no such feeling toward
Marshfeld for her success is Wood
County's interest.
Appd1C tHS NG"o ShItolo ONSl-
look the 60, ,O00,0O0 of pine and hardwood
that is owned by John Edwards & Co.
in the same towns; also that owned by
Sherry-Cameron, VIM. Scott, F. J.
Wood, G. NJ. Webb and others who
reside in the twin cities. Give us time
gentlemen and you will soon learn why
the Port Edwards, Centralia & Northern
railroad was built. Such silly nonsen-
steal reasons as given in the above
article published in the News is laugha-
ble in the extreme.
Gentlemen this is a case of "too pre-
vious." ". H. Upham is ahead the
glory, but we still claim title to the
timber. Did you ever get left ?

the vicinity of Rhinelander, recently
cut his foot while chopping, two miles
from camp. He Was assisted by his
workmate towards camp, but after going
some distance they heard The howl Of
wolves on their track. 1t was soon
seen that it was impossible for both to
reach camp, so the assistant FASTENED to
camp for aid, and on his return all that
could be found of the unfortunate man
was his skull and feet, the latter being
enclosed in shoepacks. The wolves had
literally torn him in pieces and eaten
his whole body.

POTATO RAISING.
Farmers are Requested TO Interest
Themselves in Raising Potatoes.

The following article taken from the
Stevens Point journal we heartily
endorse and therefore give our farmers
the benefit of it. Read it:
We have several times called atten-
ton to the subject of potato raising in
Portage, Waushara, and Waupaca
counties, giving figures to show the
value Of the crop raised, acreage, etc.
This subject is one which the Journal
shall pay especial attention to during
right here that our columns will be
open at all times for any discussion,
articles or items on this sui 3ect that will
tend to promote the interest in this
industry. Experience has proved that
diversified farming pays best, but at the
same time the natural advantages of
county or district makes it profitable
to make a specially of some CROP, not
going in head over heels, but with
reason and good judgment. In some
sections stock raising may be more
profitable while in others dairying can
be carried on to better advantage. In
these three counties, the great specially
should be potatoes. Let each Cite of
them feel an interest in making this The
great potato belt of Wisconsin. This
will improve the market, bring in
buyers, cause more railroads to be con-
structed, and increase the value of farm
ing lands. The Improvement of one
county will not detract from the value
of the other-it will add to it. There
need be no jealousy. 1t is something
we are all interested in. The crop in
these three counties, this yetr, will not
fall short of a million aud half of
dollars-perhaps 1t will 60 over that
amount, but we do not wish to over
estimate it. This year the price has
been greater than for severa: wears past
but at 20 cents potatoes pay better, so
farmers tell US, than any other crop.
Farmers should take special pains to
raise good quality of potatoes. Only
the very best of seed should be planted.
AS much care should be taken in select
ing good seed .(not mixed seed) as in
wheat, com or other crops. And right
here we would say that an article on the
best seed, how to best prepare the land
etc, would be worthy of place in any
newspaperiD this section We should
be glad to give space to such an article,
X
The farmers in the counties mention
ed would make money by sending a
man through The easteA states to
advertise ''Portage, Waupaca and Wau-
share county" potatoes. He could be
supplied with barrels or bags of
potatoes neatly labeled as above-or
some other Way-and thus create a
demand for potatoes from the "Great
Potato Belt" of Wisconsin. This is the
way California created a demand for her
green and dried fruits, and it would
work just as we'll with potatoes. The
sOppy potato of some sections is no
more to be compared with ours, than is
the wild crab apple to the luscious
greening grown in old New York state
The potato industry is bound to come
to the front. The sooner the farmers
realize it and take advantage of their
soil, the better.
Farmers in the towns of Grand Rapids
and Saratoga will do we'll to prepare and
plant larger acreage of potatoes.

on the D. O. Fisher fire: ''No adjust

What they mean by Irregularities is a
