The prettiest view in this section
of the country is known as the
"Fiester Hill" about 4 miles from
LaPorte on the Sonestown road
On clear day with telescope the
town of Muncy and the river at said
place is plainly visible and the
smoke from the machine shops at
Williamsport as well. A glance to
the East over the North mountain
and the scenery that meets the eye
in this direction is ample reward
for the trouble ofmaking the journey.
The deep valley through which the
Muncy Greek passes is the first OBJ
ject of interest and then the noun
tain side where green fields extend
way up near the mountain top pre-
senting beautiful sight. We
would urge our LaPorte and Mere
guests to visit, this point before re-
turning home. The roads are good
and the drive pleasant and will af-
ford you one days pleasant outing

Sheriff Utz has decided to sell all
land advertised at sheriff sale at the
Court House in LaPorte during
court weeks. This surely is an i'm
provement upon the old custom of
selling real estate by writ. The
former custom has been to advertise
as soon as the writ was issued. thus
strewing them along from time to
time. The plan recently adopted
by Sheriff Utz is practiced in near
ly all of our adjoining counties and
there is no good. reason why it
should not prove satisfactory in
little Sullivan.

NEW PAPER MILL.
Il BeeLiUe Of Acti5zty and a MOnn
ment to Indushy.

A visit to the South Centralia Pulp
and Paper mills will convince the visitor
that such Industries started in any COM
munity is of everlasting benefit to its
people. We found great pleasure in
visiting this plant last Monday after
noon, and through the kindness of the
general manager, Mr.. Frank Garrison,
were shown through the mill and made
conversant with the methods of oper-
alton. Its beehive Of industry, and
while t. machinery looks simple, yet
it is complicated, and requires skid
labor to oversee and handle it. I4t
power furnished by the large wa, r
wheel is sufficient, ansl the Immense
machinery is revolved with such ease
and perfectness that it is a pleasure to
watch it. This plant contains all the
latest improved machinery in paper
making and works to perfection. Those
who are posted report this mill a model
one in every respect. The capacity of
the paper machine is ten tons daily
The water as taken from the Wisconsin
river is filtered and made as clear, as
chrystal before passing into the watts for
use.
At present thirty hands are employed
in the paper mill and thirty in the pulp
mill. Nearly all Of these are men, some
boys and girls are employed doing the
lightest work in the paper room. The
pulp mill consumes sixteen cords of
wood daily. This necess1tates a stock
of 1900 cords during the year. 1t re-
quifes 563 cars to bring this wood to the
mill. The wood costs on an average Of
$3.50 per cord. which makes the neat
sum of $15, 10000. The pay roll month
S2500. A new paper cutting machine
will soon be added to the paper mill
which will increase the present number
of hands fifteen, and also increase the
pay roll. This entire plant is lighted by
electricity and generated by a dynamo
located in their power house. They al
so have waterworks with hose attach
ment in all parts of the mill for use in
case of fire. 1t is well worth any ones
time to visit this plant and see for your
selves. The value Of this plant to the
twin cities is not comprehended unless
you visit it personally and judge for
yourselves. Tie product of this mill,
judging from the samples exhibited, is
equal, if not superior to that manufac-
tured in the Fox River valley. Mr.. G.
o. Oberly, of Neenah, is foreman of the
paper mill and delights in showing Wis
itors through the building.
