WILL OPEN NEW FIELDS.
New Railroads May be Opened Between
Merrill and Prentice.


Marshfeld, Wis, Nov. 22.-There is
something besides talk in the. project of
building the new line of railroad from
Merrill to Prentice to connect with the
500 and the Central railroads at the last
named place. There is no city of its size
in Northern Wisconsin that can boast of
as many manufacturing enterprises as
can Merrill 1t has eight large sawmills,
besides a number of woodenware manu-
factories. The entire product of these con-
Germs is immense. For years the st. Paul
railroad has enjoyed the entire, patronage
of these concerns, being the only railroad
leading to the place. Merrill capitalists
have the matter in hand. and it is almost
an assured fact that the road will be built
the coming summer, making Prentice the
terminus of the new line and forming a
junction at that place with the. 500 and
the Central. Several surveys of the pro
posed road have been made and faTorably
reported The road will open up a new
section of country heavily timbered by
pine and hardwood, and will also be the
means of bringing into existence number
of new factories.

APPOINTED A RECEIVER.
Fight Between the City of GAINESVILLE and
Water Company.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Nov. 24.-Janesville's
waterworks suit came to an end just be-
fore Judge Bennett adjourned court last
evening. The common council AYERS that
the company made a false statement of
the cost when a statement was demanded
at the end of the first seven years. For
this reason the council sued to have the
franchise revoked Yesterday afternoon
an affidavit from Mayor Thoroughbred
was filed in the court affirming that the
city had property interest in the water
works and that it feared the company
would shut off the fire service. The ap-
pointment of a receiver was requested
and Judge Bennett appointed G. G. Suth-
erland, secretary of the company, as re-
ceiver. The water company was not
represented, but will submit arguments on
Monday.

WANTS THE MATTER SETTLED.
Interurban People Becoming Tired OF
Delay in Granting Franchises.

Delay in Granting Franchises.
Appleton, Wis, Nov. 22.-J. NJ. ThOmp-
son of Chicago, known IN railroad circles
as "Cable-car Thompson" arrived III the
city yesterday to make q last effort to-
ward securing from the cities of Neenah,
Menasha and Kaukauna franchises allow
ing the passage through those cities Of the
Interurban Electric railway which is to
connect Oshkosh and Kaukauna and in
termediate cities. Franchises have been
secured at Oshkosh and Appleton, but the
project has been delayed for months by
the dilatory tactics of the smaller cities
mentioned. Mr.. Thompson, who built
nearly all the cable car lines of the Pa
cific slope, comes here with the fullest
evidence of the stability of the company
which wants to build the road, and hopes
by a full statement of the situation and
proofs of good faith to induce the coun-
ellis of Neenah, Menasha and Kaukauna
to grant the franchises without further
delay. In case he is successful the power
houses will be built this winter, the dyna-
mos set, and in the spring work Will be-
gin simultaneously at both ends OF the
line, the company's power houses furnish
ing power for operating the line Tor con-
struction purposes as fast as 1T is Dullt.
In case satisfactory assurances OF iran
chises cannot be obtained from the cites
mentioned within the few days of Mr..
Thompson's visit here, the project will be
abandoned entirely. The stockholders are
becoming impatient of delay. They have
had the whole amount of stock subscribed
and every dollar of the money, S6OO,0OO,
in a New York bank for four months.
They want the matter decided at once
one way or the other. Mr.. Thompson
owns an undivided one-half of the stock.

LARGE CUTS OF TIMBER.
Oconto Firms Figuring on a Large Output
for Next Season..

Oconto, Wis, Nov 24.-The Oconto
Lumber company intends cutting 10000
located near Sagola. Mich, and two
crews on the Wausaukee, contemplate a
cut of 100000, which will come over
the Milwaukee s. Northern road to Stiles
and f1oated down to Oconto, the remainder
being hauled over the North We stern
road to this city.
Cook Bros have closed a contract with
the Diamond Match company to put in
100000 on the Ontonagon, to go by
rail either to Neenah or Oshkosh to be
sawed Five million will be banked by
this firm for other parties. The jacob
Spies Lumber company will not put in a
stock this winter, and the mill will re-
main idle all next season.

LAKE SUPERIOR SHIP CANAL.
Cost of the Undertaking Estimated at
About 800, 900, 900.

White Birch, Wis, Nov. 21.-The en-
gineers sent out by Maj. Sears of Duluth
under congressional authority to make
preliminary survey Of route for the pro-
posed 22-foot ship canal from Like Supe-
rior through this town to the Mississippi
river, near st. Paul or Minneapolis, have
practically completed their work and will
soon break camp. Their report will soon
be forwarded to Maj. Sears and then
to the secretary of war, and it is expected
will be laid by him before Congress in his
annual report next month. This survey,
for which Congress appropriated $4,000,
has developed several new facts. There
is spring near White Birch which is on
the summit of the divide. That spring,
which discharges its waters both ways
a part into Lake Superior and part into
the Gulf Of MeXico-is 400 feet above the
level of Lake Superior, which is about
eighteen miles distant It is also 469 feet
above the mouth Of the st. Croix, which
empties into the Mississippi at Prescott.
That is, there is rise of 400 feet to get
from Lake, Superior to upper st. CroiX
lake, on which White Bircn IS situated,
and 4GS feet fall thence to the Mississippi
or ST. feet of lockages in all both WAYS.
Heretofore the theory has been to erect
dam so as to raise the level of uDDer
st. Croix lake 1412 feet in order to OBJ
tain a supply of water FOR the operation
Of the locks. This would add still another
lock. The engineers have discovered that
by dredging SO as to lower this lake 10
inches a level stretch of water twenty
four miles in length can be obtained
The total length of the proposed canal is
about 162 miles. The total cost has not
yet been estimated but it is though it will
not exceed $780, 100000. If the locks shall
have 30 feet lift each, only IA will be re-
CURED between here and Prescott, or 80

Appleton Company's Plan for an Inter
Urban Line Through the Valley.

Appleton Company's Plan tor an Inter-
Urban Line Through the Valley.
Appleton, Wis, Nov. 23.-The Apple
ton Edison Electric company will build
and operate an interurban electric road
from kaukauna to Neenah. This impor-
last night. The Appleton Electric COM
pany had a plan to build an interurban
road which was to have been started in
May, 1893, but on account of the hard
times was deferred. The money, however,
was all pledged and the franchise secured.
But when A. L. Smith returned from an
Eastern trip he found that Mr.. Tillotson
was seeking to float a similar deal. The
Appleton company considers Mr.. Tillot-
sons scheme practically dead, in view Of
his failure to secure the necessary fran
chises at Kaukauna and Neenah, and the
Appleton company. will now proceed to
carry cut their original plan. Sufficient
capital to build and equip the road in
first-class shape is at the disposal Of the
company, and there will be no hitch on
this account.

Settlement Of the Norton Park Case at
West Superior.

West Superior, Wis, Nov 22.-The mat
ter of a settlement with the Norton heirs
of their famous case in which the city is
defendant, which had been preached by
J. B. Knight last Saturday, came up yes
terday on a report by the finance COM
mittee. The committee reported having re-
ceved a proposition from Mr.. Norton and
j. B. Knight of Chicago to settle the case
on the basis of a rebate of accrued and
prospective taxes, without the payment of
any actual cash The committee said that
the citizens, with whom it had conferred,
were of the opinion that a settlement would
be much preferable to Il continuation of
the litigation. The council ordered the iti
CATION compromised. Under these circum
stances it is not thought an attorney will
have TO go to Chicago.

Menasha, Wis, Nov. 21.-Perhaps the
most peculiar accident ever recorded in
this vicinity happened yesterday to Fred
die Staeben, the 10-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. II. J. Staeben. On his way to
school his attention was attracted by q
couple of flags on q building. He looked
up quickly, presumably turning his head
at the same time. He found when he at
tempted to straighten his head that there
was something wrong, but continued on
his way to school. When near the school
he staggered and was taken into store
and later was conveyed home on
stretcher. DR.. Plumb was called and
found a dislocation of the neck Anaes-
thetics were administered and the frac-
ture reduced. The boy revived rapidly
and is resting quite easily

Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 22.-Arrange-

gatta on Lake Winnebago this winter
between Fond du Lac and Oshkosh par
ties. There is a great rivalry between
the cities and some interesting sport is
promised According to the outlook at
present there will be several iceboats
owned in Oshkosh. The only drawback
is the uncertainty as to whether or not
they can be used Several recent winters
have come and gone and there was no
skate on Lake Winnebago, the fall of
snow being so heavy, but the enthusiasts
hope to overcome the last obstacle. Me
nasha and Neenah parties have also ex
pressed a willingness to join in the sport.
