Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1899-05-18

Is village OF over i've hundred people situated
on the west bank of the Wisconsin river about
eight miles south of the twin cities of Grand
Rapids and Centralia i'll Wood county. 1t is on
the c. NJ. & St. ?. Ry running north from New
Lisbon to Tomahawk The NekoOsa Paper COM
pany, have their Pulp. Paper and sulphite
plant located mere and its a thriving institu-
ton and promising village.
What is known as the blow pit, in
the sulphite department of the Ne
koOSa paper mill, burst open last week
breaking every iron band encirCling
the tub or vat and allowing the v0mic
stack to settle several inches. For
some time it was quiry whether eX-
plOsive pressure created from chemi-
Gals used in the tub was the cause Of
it's bursting or whether the heavy
weight of the vOmit stack which
rested upon it. This blow pit is what
we would call large tub or vat about
20 feet high, 10 feet 10 inches in diam
eter and made Of slaves inches wide
and inches thick, fastened together
with iron bands encircling the tub
every Is inches its entire height.
These bands and some Of the slaves
were broken as easily as though they
were strings and kindling wood. The
heavy weight Of the vOmit stack
which rested upon the tub was prob
ably what burst the tub, for it does
not appear possible that combustion
would have caused that damage when
the tub contained an opening in the
top. Whatever the cause, the pressure
was great and the damage was done.
A crew of men are now busy replacing
the tub.
The wedding of Miss Lillian AnderS
and Will George took place at the

the. evening they came back to
NekoOsa where the young couple went
direct to housekeeping in furnished
rooms fitted up in connection with
