After lying for months at the old stone dock
OF the Brooklyn Navy-yard the cruiser Chi
cago, formerly the flagship OF the European
squadron, was towed out few days ago to
make room for torpedo boats. 1t is almost
two years now since the Chicago was locked
at the nayy-yard, says the New York World.
She was one OF the first of the famous White
Squadron. and her voyage to foreign ports
was triumph. But when she returned to
New York in 1895 the navy officials had made
up their minds that she was far from UP to
date. 1t took year at Washington to obtain
the 100000 necessary for her renovation,
and it will be nearly two years before the GAL

At present she bears little resem blance to
her former self. There is little left of the old

IF F41 1tre-t fssissippi Valley Lumber
man of July 9Th, contains excellent
portraits Of W. H. Bissell and John f.
Ross, of the Ross Lumber Co. Of Arbor
Vitae, and the following write-up Of
the two gentlemen:
"A brief sketch was given in the
Lumberman last week Of Manager w.
H. Bissell, of the Ross Lumber Co..
Arbor Vitae, Wis, and John F. Ross,
the bright young son Of J. d. Ross, Of
Oak Park, ILL.,, the president of the
company. Thinking that some OF our
readers would like to know more of
these hustling lunbermen of the upper
Wisconsin Valley region, we have the
pleasure this week of herewith presen-
ting their pictures.
Mr.. Bissell has long been connected
with Mr.. Ross, of Oak Park. He en-
tered his employ in 1883, as manager
of the Brooks & Ross operations at
Schofeld, shor5 distance south Of
Wausau. on the St.Paul road. In 1888
he went to Harrison, Wis. to look af-
ter the mill and business of the Wis
consin Valley Lumber Co., OF that
place, in which Mr.. Ross was largely
interested. He remained there until
the mill ceased saving in 1898, and
was moved to the new location up in
the woods. on the banks of ArbOr vi
tae lake, where the fine new plant is
located.
John F. Ross, although born in
Michigan, grew up in Wausau, where
his folks resided until up to a year or
so ago. He attended school in South
ern Illinois and about a year and half
ago he went to Arbor Vitae to become
familiar with the manufacture of lum-
Der. He is a good natured, popular
young man and counts every employee

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
SHALL NE HAVE THEM?

One week from next Saturday the
voters will have the chance to say
whether we are to have electric lights
here or not. AS under the proposition
submitted by Mr.. Thrun, which we
printed in full last week, electric lights
for the city will cost nothing, we can
not see how there can be any possible
opposition to allowing him the fran
chise. Every one must admit that it
would be q good thing for the village
to have electric lights. 1t would put
us abreast with other villages Of our
size and give the place g much better
appearance, besides making it more
convenient for every one. An electric
plant would allow the business men to
make q saving in the expense of light
ing besides giving their places of bust
ness a very much better appearance.
In his proposition, Mr. Thrun fur
ther agrees to take the water works
and run them, furnishing every thing
for three thousand dollars year.
Since the Water-wcrks have been put
in it has cost the town on an average
OF more than forty-fve hundred dollars
per year to run them, so that if the vo-
tiers decide to accept his proposition
there will be saving of fifteen hun
dred dollars each year to the tax pay
ers, which is no small item. Against
all these advantages offered to the
town we can see no disadvantages on
the other side. It will take as much
wood to run the Water-works under
Mr. Thrun's management as under
that of the town and possibly a little
more as he will have to have steam to
run his dynamo, so there will be no
less market for the farmers wood and
it will take no less men to run it, SO
there will be no loss of employment.
Taking all these things into considera-
ton there should be a unanimous vote
in favor Of accepting his proposition.
