Paper Nav Go On Free List.

The Washington correspondent to
the v Edukee Sentinel has the fol-
lowing information in reference to
p int paper and wood pulp going on
the free list:
The paper mill interests of the
northwest will be interested to know
that when congress reasSembles bill
will be introduced to place news print
paper wood pulp and all materials
used in the manufacture of white
paper on the free list. An effort was
made year ago to obtain the reduc-
tion or removal entirely Of the duties
on wood pulp. but nothing was accom-
pliShed. The measure to be presented
will have the disadvantage at first of
! being offered by a Missouri free trade
congressman, Champ Clark, but it is
I known there is considerable sympathy
among republican members for this
! movement, and it is not improbable
| that the measure will make some
headway, if pressed by those who a
year ago complained OF the formation
of the trust in wood pulp and print
paper production and asked relief by
reduction in tariff rates.

excepting Sunday. Men who never
saw an alley before can now be found
by the dozen with coats off Straining
every muscle for big scores. and they
are there, seemingly, every minute
and hour in the day and on until 5
O'Clock in the morning. The crowds
have been so eager to play that it has
thus far been almost impossible to get
chance at the alleys. Some began
Monday morning and quit Tuesday
morning only to be back for a trial
after supper: others have gone with
out their meals to get place, while
it is common to bowl all night. Such
is the craze as starter in our city.
All roads lead to Jake'S and the
crowds all GO that way.
1t is universally agreed that the
exercise is most beneficial and con-
vertS are reported from all classes.
but it is reasonable to believe that
those who are playing to excess now
will be the first to tire in the long
run. A bowling expert furnishes a
few pointers which we give this week
for the benefit of new players:
Don't try to learn in a dav.
Don't use too much speed at first.
Don't grip the ball too tight.
Don, use any unnecessary motions.
Don't tell anyone what you are
going to do. Wait until after the
game and tell them what you did.
Don't tell us what you could do.
Show us what you can do.
Don't bet on your game and you
can't lose.
Don't exert yourself. Take it easy.
4 slow accurate ball is better than a
swift wild one.
Don't quiz bowling on account of a
sore finger. You have other fingers on
the same hand.
Don't put your whole thumb in the
finger hole. One Joint is enough.
Don't use large finger hole. Big
holes make ball lop-sided.
Don't deliver the ball with the right
foot in front.
Don't think you can change the
course of the ball after it has left your
hand.
Don't expect ''stirke' every.time
you hit the head pin.
Don't blame the pin-boys if you get
split. They will spot any pin you
call their attention to.
Don't throw away ''Spare" because
you think you were entitled to a
strike"
Don't think the other fellow has all
the luck. Plug away, things will
change.
Don't think you can always pick the
winner in bowling contest.
Don't think it necessary to be a
SandOw. Many lightweights bowl
we'll
Don't think your wrist is gone if it
hurts after bowling a few games
Change your grip and throw the strain
somewhere else.
Don't bend your back when deliver
ing the ball. With your feet far apart
and your knees bent you can start the
ball with little or no sound.
Don't expect alley owners to change
everything to suit you. There are
others to satisfy.

In The Proper Way.

Milwaukee Journal
The business men Of the Wisconsin
river valley have gone about the work
of attracting immigration and capital
in the proper way. They will do their
own business, not ask the state to do
it for them Men who do that deserve
to succeed. 1t is far better than ask
ing for an appropriation from the
public treasury to be used for their
benefit.
The future Of the northern part of
the state will be bright one if the
right kind of work is done. & There
is enough waterpOWer along the Wis
conSin river to turn all the mill wheels
in the country. The sawmill has had
its day in a great measure, and can
make room for Otheri industries. There
is room enough for hundreds of mills
without crOwding any of the present
Establishments. For half a century
the Sawmill has been almost absolute
monarch of the river. The pioneer
lumber man obtained possession of7the
water powers, and as general thing
refused to divide with later corners
except at eXOrbitant rates. The con-
sequence has been that capital was
kept away, when the proper policy
was to attract it by cheap, or even
free, grants of power. Meanwhile the
vast stores Of water have been running
to waste.

Eary-cay Resident Takes Unkndy t
Changing Honored City Name.

J. Fl. Lang of Oberlin, Ohio, one Of
the early settlers in Wood county and
now continuous, observant reader Of
the weekly REPORTER issue, sends a
short sketch Of incidents to us this
week Mr.. Lang has favored Us with
several pleasing reminiscent cOntribu-
tions during 1889 and he says he could
not forbear to speak to the old settler
friends Of Wood county through these
columns once more before the year
expired. He writes:
Editor RepOrter:-Since | learned Of
the death Of EuZcbe LaVigne it has
been in my mind to express through
your columns my feeling Of personal
loss. and now he more recent notice
of the death Of James McGrath leads
me to put my former resolution into
effect
While I lived in Grand Rapids, Mr..
LaNigne was one of my near neighbOrS
and in his death | feel that | have
lost more than an old acquaintance,
for he was a confidential friend and
faithful and wise adviser. His early
settlement in that locality made his
advice and council Of much value to a
new conner. | recall with much
pleasure the many good times we had
together camping in the woods while
out prospecting for timber. Always
good natured, full Of anecdOte and fun,
ever looking on the bright side, he
was indeed pleasant companion. |
remember one Saturday night after
our hard days work was done we found
ourselves at a shingle camp in the
north part of township % Of range I
and the question was whether we
should Stay in the woods Or make the
II miles tramp home. We decided to
make the attempt to reach home. He
seized the greater part Of our traps
and sung out, "COme on" and by
trotting, running and walking we
reached home before midnight viii h
no serious results except being very
tired. When Mir. LaNigne established

commissioned me to 90 to Portage
City and purchase his cable. and for a

south side Of the Office Of Powers &
Lang and up to the time | left, this
was the only mode Of crossing the
river | shall always remember Mr.,
LaNigne as a good neighbOr, a
sympathetic friend, good public
servant and a valued citizen. | am
sure his loss has been mOurned by
many Of those who knew him best.
The death of James McGrath,
following so soon, increases my feeling
Of loneliness and isolation from our
old home and familiar surroundings.
Mr.. MCGrath was near neighbOr and
while | was not as intimate with him
as | was with Mr.. LaVigne, | always
found him a good friend and a gener-
Gus hearted lrishman with a heart
ever open to the call Of humanity.

were all abSent) Mr.. McGrath was one
of the neighborS who stood by and
rendered such aid as he could, but no
one broke open the house to save the
contents. | thought this a little

they did not break in and save the
goods He answered that he was
afraid they might think he wanted tc

Our Neighbors, Too, Are Interested.

From Stevens Point Journal
The original ordinances for the con-
solidation of Grand Rapids and Cen
tralia do not suit some of the people
Of that city and the mayors are going
to appoint committees to draft a
model ordinance The Journal would
suggest that while the committees
are at work they take up the new
name and decide on something more
eupnoneous and appropriate than
Central Rapids. There is nothing like
starting baby out in life with a good
name. Posterity in the twin cities
will be grateful for name that will
stand for something more than
jealousy and prejudice.
