HIS NEW OFFICE.

Mr.. Geo. n. Wood, whose chief
eccentricity is his abiding faith in the
future development of this place, and
who has recently established himself in
the insurance business. which he will
carry on in connection with the buying,
selling and exchanging Of real estate, is
now fairly settled in his new Office at
the east end of the bridge, where he is
monarch of all he surveys. George is
to be congratulated on the fine appear
ance which the interior of his structure
presents 1t is divided into two rooms,
one of which will be used for the regu-
lar transaction of business, and the
other will serve as a sleeping apartment.
Both are finished in native Wood
County woods, preserved in their
natural grain and color. The ceiling is
Eastwood, the floor hard maple, the
window and door castings are white
pine, and the walls are composed of
alternating strips of red and white oak,
birch, Eastwood, maple and ash. Mr..
Wood has already secured the agency
of the Queen Insurance Co., of England
the Hamburg Bremen, of Germany,
the Fireman's Fund, of California, and
many of the other leading companies
doing business IN this state, which all
told represents a cash capital OF
upwards of fifty millions of dollars.
He invites his friends, whether from
the two cities or from the country, to
call and see him at his new quarters.

UNITED WE STAND,
D1vtded We Fall.

We sincerely hope that the words
which head this article will be kept
prominent in the thoughts of our bust
ness men when considering the propos-
ition of establishing a chair factory in
our midst and the excellent offer we
have. We consider it the opportunity
of life time. There is every reason
to believe that the proposition is fair
and reasonable one. If man is willing
to take half of the stock necessary to
conduct any enterprise it is reasonable
to expect he has confidence in his
abilities, with past experience as a
guidancel to make the enterprise a
success. If the business men of the
twin cities are desirious of building
themselves up as we'll as the community
in which they 1--we, they must expect
to take stock in such an undertaking
and unite together in building up man.
ufacttring establishments. It must be
evident to the business men of the twin
cities that if we hope to build up a
prosperous centre here we must turn
our means toward manufacturing. This
is our only resource, our only hope.
Then why allow any opportunity to pass
by without straining every effort to
make a success Of it. We might as we'll
go to the poor house trying to improve
our resources as to rust out lonely
existence. Now is the accepted time
improve it by doing your utmost to
encourage new enterprises to locate in
our midst.
When the committee call upon you
to subscribe certain amount of stock
in the new factory take all you possibly
can with willingness that will not only
insure success to the factory, out will
encourage the committee to keep on
doing. Remember that united we
stand, divided we fall"

NEW PAPER MILL.
Fast Approaching Completion, a
Mammoth Institution.

Sunday afternoon through the kind
ness of Mr. NJ S. Pratt, we enjoyed the
privilege of visit to South Centralia,
where the Centralia Water Power Co.,
| have i'll the course of construction an
immense paper mill. This new plant
is situated on the island just opposite
the present pulp mill. The island is
long and narrow but plenty of room for
tins new enterprise. The island is
principally rock therefore an excellent
foundation for this structure.
The frame work is supported by
heavy stone walls of three and four
feet thickness and to the heighth of
W hat might be termed the basement.
The first building reached after pass
ing the pulp mill is the Power House
built over the fumes in which three
water wheels are placed, two of which
will give the power to operate the paper
mill and the third will operate a
dynamo for the purpose of lighting the
whole building with electricity.
The second building is called the
boiler house which is 40x50 feet con-
structed of solid brick with tower 10
feet square. This will contain two
immense boilers which will furnish the
steam and heat for the whole plant.
The third and last building is the
paper mill proper which consists Of
three buildings connected. The first
department IS 42x56 feet with 80 foot
posts in which the pulp will be picked
and prepared for the paper machines
and known as stock. The second
department is 40x175 feet with 80 foot
posts which will contain the filterer and
paper machines. The third department
is 4Ox56 feet and is called the finishing
room in which the paper will be put up
and prepared for shipment.
These buildings are all two stories.
They contain I6S windows which will
give plenty of light. The buildings are
now all enclosed and the windows will
soon be put therein. Some 90 men are
employed in its construction.
The solidity and massiveness Of these
buildings can only be appreciated by
being seen. The timber used in its
construction is all 12xl4 or 12xl2 except
the rafters and they are 10x12 and the
arches from the foundation to the first
floor are constructed of brick. The
timber is dressed and fits with such
| nicetV that the editor wonders at
mechanical perfection. The floors in
the basement are laid with three inch
plank with hardwood covering. The
paper machine floor is laid with timber
wood.
The tanks in which the pulp will be
prepared are constructed of brick with
stone foundations. The watts or tubs are
being built Cf southern pine with iron
| hoops. The machinery is expected
soon and as fast as the buildings are
ready it will be set up in its proper
position.
Such industries are not only monu-
ments to the business enterprise of its
owners but a credit to any community
in which they are operated. 1t must
| be pleasure to men who own stock in
that new plant to know and realize
that it is money we'll invested and must
pay good dividends. The REPORTER
certainly wishes the new industry a
God speed and excellent returns.

CAPT. PIERCE IN CHARGE.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. IL
Capt. Pierce, successor to Agent Royer,
after several delays arrived to-day. He
is tall, pleasant man, who seems to be
disposed to do his duty IN quiet and
unostentatious manner. He has just
relinquished the recruiting service at
Minneapolis. He said that he had not
had experience in this vicinity before,
but he had considerable of it among the
San Carlos Indians. He had gotten
along very well with them and he had
made considerable progress in many
ways, especially in agriculture. He was
asked if the soil at San Carlos was more
productive than that of the Sioux reser-
vations and said that it was not, by any
means. They had to dig bitches and
irrigate the land, and the work had
been attended with great success. He
said, further, that he hoped to do the
same thing on this reserve. When ask
ed if he had an opinion as to whether
or not the Indians of this reserve had
had issued to them all the rations they
were entitled to, under the contracts,
he said he had no doubt they had
received all that the law called for, if
they had not the books would show up
the matter when investigated. He bad
not had time, however to investigate
them because be had but just arrived.
Sentinel. Capt. Pierce is brother Of
Mrs. J. NJ. Pomeroy, of Minneapolis,
and was reared in his youth in this
city. He now has charge of the Pine
