Waupun, Wis, July 15.-[Special. l.
Hundreds Of people went out to see the

ment at Omaha, Neb., September 80.
The contests yesterday afternoon were
very exciting and were witnessed by thou

time, 80 Is. Whitewater having won
Tor the third consecutive year, secures

RISE IN BOOK PAPER.
1t will Probably Follow Action
Taken by Mills of Fox
River VaIIey,

Appleton, Wis, July 1S.-[Special. lit
is reported here today that the Western
Book Papermakers' association, which
comprises chiefly the Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Ohio manufacturers OF this
grade of paper have determined to stop
the manufacture OF this paper for the
summer months at least. 1t is also
stated that the mills began under the
new order of things this morning and the
machines formerly worked on book are
either idle or are making writing papers,
in which grade there has been no change
of conditions. AS usual the manufacture
erS are very retlcent about the matter,
but 1t is understood that the decision to
close down was made at q meeting of the
ASSOCIATION III Chicago last week. The
ASSOCIATION was recently organized and
outside of a previous general increase III
the price of the high-grade paper, this
is the first official action of the organiZa-
ton. The Kimberly Il Clark mills are
largely affected, especially the mills in
this city. The decision to suspend the
manufacture of this grade of paper is
probably part of an attempt to bring the
price up ia Il fair proht-making one for
the millOwnerS as well as one giving the
mills chance to do less work in the hot
season, when power is so hard to get as
ARE being obliged to call in the auxiliary
steam plants to run their mills, entailing
considerable expense and the demand for
book paper is not SO great that it re-
Qulres heavy run on the part Of the mill
men to keep the supply up.
Other paper matters in the valley are
IN a prosperous condition. The big con-
tract for the gearing machinery for the
immense new print paper plant of the
Northwestern Paper company at Cloquet,
Mimi, was let to the Rice machinery of
Chicago. The figure is not given out,
but it is understood to be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. This figure does not
indicate the big proportions of the con-
tract for it includes all of the little sun
dries of Il modern mill and no costly ma
chinery.
The new mill at Marinette takes it's
first cooking today. The mill was CO..
structed by architect Pride of this city to
replace one burned some months ago.
The new sulphite at Menasha, says Mr..
Pride, is also doing exceptionally fine
work on hemlock instead of the spruce
generally used by the mills.
Paper mill men claim that the shut
down is for a much shorter time than
was generally believed, saying that it was
only to last six days. The impression is,
however, that it will be an experiment
towards the lettering of prices and will
probably be prolonged till about Septem-
Der. -Four Appleton mills are affected

FACED DEATH AGAIN.

BIG LOSS BY FIRE.
PapermilI at Stevens Point De-
stroyed at Loss of Near
iy 100000.

Stevens Point, Wis, July 1S.-Ye3
day morning at 3:45 o'clock fire broke out
and destroyed the Wisconsin River Pulp
and Paper company's mill. 1t evidently
originated from hot-boX. The floors,
pulleys and betting were saturated with
oil, and the blaze, famed by a great
steam ventilating bellows, soon shot up
through the belt holes in the floor to the
machine room, and drove out the en-
ployes. Through some mistake the fire
pumps were not put in operation until too
late to save the mill The mill was locat-
ed two miles south of town and outside of
the fire department limits. The mill was
originally built in 1891 but was destroyed
by fire and rebuilt and enlarged in 1895.
The loss will be between $4,000 and
100000, fully covered by insurance.
George a. Whiting, president of the
company, spent part of the day in the city
in consultation with Robert Law, the
papermill builder, and made the prelimi-
nary arrangements for rebuilding the
mill at once The mill employed 100
hands and was rushed with contract or
ders for joint paper from the new Chi
cago paper combine Pulp paper was al
Neenah. 1t will be six months before the
mill can be fully replaced.

yesterday made an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors to Edward L. KEEL
ley, assignee. 1t is thought that enough
will be realized from the assets to pay
the creditors in full. Slow collections and
pressure by one of the heavy creditors is
given as the cause of the assignment. The
assets and liabilities are not known at
the present moment. Mr.. Kelley, the as
signee, is taking an inventory today. This
