Great Things Promised.

From The %ausau Herald.
The first meeting of the Wis
consin Valley Advancement As
ISOLATION was held Tuesday at
ternOOn at Tomahawk and most
of the directors were present.
The articles of incorporate n
were adopted and other neces-
sary formalities were gone
through. 1t was decided to
make the membership fee and
annual dues So. Other schemes
for raising funds were discussed,
but none agreed upon as yet.
The directors concl uded it
would be wise to have in each
city in the valley an advisory
board to consist of three mem
bers, to be appointed by the
president, on the suggestion of
the directors from that city. 1t
was decided to employ a by
draulic engineer to make a sur
vey and measurement Of the wa
ter power all along the river, so
the association will have some
thing definite to work upon.
Later on committees will be
appointed on manufacture g,
commerce, industries, WATERFOWL
er, resources, agricultural, tim
Der resources, mineral and build
ing stone, telegraph service, rail
ways and highways. The mem
bers of the board of directors
were instructed to form local or
carnations in their different
cities to cooperate with the as
ISOLATION.
The question Of an electric
freight and passenger railway
from Port Edwards to Eagle
River was given a good deal of
consideration and the general
opinion was that the scheme is a
feasible one. There is no doubt
but what it could be cheaply op-
Grated, owing to the excellent
waterpower all along the river,
and neither is there any doubt
about it's being paying invest
ment. The traffic and freight
business of the Wisconsin Valley
, has grown to enormous proper
tions and an electric railway for
passengers and light freig hit
would surely be a great convent
ence and would be literally pat
ronizei. The directors also de-
cided to use the influence of the
association toward encouraging
better wagon roads througho at
the valley.
The next meeting Of the board
of directors will be held at Toma-
hawk on Thursday, January Is,
1900, at which time the commit
tee on bylaws will make its re-
port.

His Victualers License.

At the first meeting of the present

grant a license to NJ. Shapiro as Il
common victualer. This gave the priv
ilege of keeping open on Sundays and
of doing business. At a special meet
ing of the board of aldermen. June u.
it was voted to revoke his license and
this was done. 1t was claimed that he
was not a common victualer and that
he did not feed the public. There was
a good deal of talk on the subject and
for the time Shapiro closed his place
Of business. He again opened. Sunday,
and was doing business. When seen
he claimed that after the city govern :
ment had granted him a license it had
no right to revoke it. The police au-
thorities know of the case and war
rant will be sworn out against him.

hearing. He intends to make test

He was a teamster during the terms of
several street commissioners.
About 10 years ago Mr.. Gilman met
with a great misfortune. 1t was in
September, and one day he attended
the State Fair at Lewiston. He re-
turned on the evening train and as it
happened that the air brakes failed to
operate in the usual manner, the train
was not brought to a stop until the
station was passed. Mr.. Gilman alight-
ed as soon as the train stopped and as
the train backed was knocked under
the wheels. Both legs were severed
below the knee.
1t is said that Mr.. Gilman had never
before ridden on the steam cars and it
is not singular fact that he has
since deprived himself of the pleasure
of so doing.

history of the city he spoke of some of

father of the late Mrs. Eliza Lowell, the
donor of the new City hail. and of Miss

clerk of the first town meeting. Des-
cendentS of both are now living in the

He mentioned as the foundation Of
all good society. first, the important in
situations of the home. which should be
kept pure. He deprecated the shocking
immortality practiced in violation of the
laws of God and man, by men and wO-
men, both married and unmarried.
Second. the school. institutions, to
which our early fOrefathers gave great
attention. Hallowell was said in early
times to have been both the most
wealthy and cultivated community in
Maine with one or two possible excep-
tions.

Vaughan was referred to. 1t contained

The Hallowell Social library, founded
in 1912, by an association of men and
women, and kept alive during 80 years,
when, in 1880, the erection of a suitable
edifice for it's use was made possible by
the work of interested citizens; the
large wing provided by the munificence
of Gen. Thomas II. Hubbard in 1894,
and finally completed by Mrs. Lowelrs
generosity in 1898: the notable bequest
to the association as her residuary

NO TROUBLE HERE.
Said TO Be No Government Contract, Hence
Will Be No Strike.

1t is practically certain that at the
present time none of the stone for the
big Chicago post Office is being sup
piled by the Hallowell Granite Works.
and with assurance Of that fact we
may all rest easy on the strike ques-
ton for a time at least.
AS is generally known the cOntrac-
tors for the Chicago post office and
other government jobs is John Pierce,
president Of the Mt. Waldo Granite
Works at Frankfort. In September of
last year the union men at Mt. Waldo
went out on strike on account OF the
refusal of the corporation to grant an
eight-hour day and minimum rate
of as cents per hour or $3.50 per day,
as voted by the National Union. Nom
union men were put to work at Mt.
Waldo, on June 1. They are non-union
only as pertains to the National Gran
lite Cutters Union, for they are MEM
beers of a new organization which bears
the name of THE Legal Granite Cut
| ters' Union of the United States or
America" officers of the National
Union say that Italians are collected
and taken to job under the so-called
padrone system. This the Italians en-
| phatically deny.
| 1t is said that the union intends 10
make a general demand all over the
East, next spring, for the snort day
and this pay, and 50 voted 70 begin on
the stone cutters for the Chicago post
office as the contracts for that struc-
ture extends beyond that time.
| Naturally Secretary Duncan came on
| from Baltimore. a few weeks ago. to
| ascertain as to whether stock for the
Chicago post Office was being in part
| furnished by the Hallowell Granite
Works, of which John Pierce is di-
rector. After a short visit he found to
his complete satisfaction that no stone
Cor any of Pierce's government con-
tracts were being cut here. There is
no government inspector here in the
first place. and the presence of one
would be necessary if government con-
tracts We're under way.
Mr.. John Pierce is an agent for,
stockholder and leader of the bust
ness not only Of the Hallowell works,
but the quarries at Stony Creek and
Vinal Haven. 1t is said that II Secre-
tary Duncan had been able to find out
that stone was being cut for any OF
Mr.. Pierce's jobs at any of these
places he would have ordered out the
cutters. but the fact that he did not
is taken 10 mean that he could hardly
make sure of his ground.
