Of manufactures on the opposite side

UNDOUBTEDLY A GO.
The President OF The Northwestern and Other
Officials Inspect the M. & S. E. Road

Marvin Hewitt. president of the
Chicago & Northwestern and Omaha
roads, accompanied by other officials
of the road and W. A. Scott, owner Of
the NJ. & S. E. road, passed over that
line Monday from Nekoosa and return
in one OF the Northwestern Co.'S
private cars The visit took the form
of an inspection Of the line, but it is
surmised by the wise ones tnat the
true significance of the visit is the
caluminatiOn of the negotiations
between the MarShtield & Southeast
ern and the Northwestern roads, and
that NJ. & S. E. road has passed into
the possession Of the Northwestern
people. To be in line with the wise
ones we'll bet dollars to dOughnutS, or
something like that, the transfer of
the property to the Northwestern
people only awaits the fling of the
necessary papers to close the tIdnS-
action.
Now. while the population Of this
little city may have seemed to the
visiting officials Of the Northwestern
fOdQ TO Dc NCiN luUliGIcuU " CIt
coming of that road to Grand Rapids
the Indifference was only seeming
and not real. 1t means much
greater growth in wealth and pOpula
tiOn. here. with enhanced values in all
realty and the vigorous prosperity
that attends booming town. and
there are few Grand Rapids people
that are not alive to these facts.
Besides the above item of news
there are a few more matters Of sig
nificance that have occurred during
the past week in connection with the
NOrthwestern'S operations here.
First, W. X. Cook, who has been
securing options on the right Of way
through the city for the company.
declares himself ready to begin the
purchase of the property in the city
on which he has secured options and
abstracts are being made out prepara-
tory to deciding the property.
Second. L. S. Roberts of Mason
City. Ia. has secured options on the
lands of Geo. Rowland. Willie Witt,
Mrs. Buss. VIM. Hanneman, Otto
PAINTER and S. A. Spatford along the
survey to the southeast Of the Rapids,
and will continue this work until all
the optious necessary are secured be-
tween here and Princeton. The
s. .uatiOn now looks more favorable
than ever before or Grand Rapids to

Not Generous.
Marshfeld Times.


1t required last Saturday nights
experience for many who went on the
EXCURSION to fully appreciate the ex-
cellence of the Second Regiment band
The Grand Rapids band, in compare
son, sounded like burleSque. To
guarantee the passage of the appropri-
alton at the councils next meeting
the band from the county seat should
be engaged to give an open air concert
here, or better still, Serenade those
who arc opposed to giving the band
the support it deserves.
The writer of the above may not
have known that the Grand Rapids
band is made up Of players most of
whom never had a horn to their lips
before they went into the band about
three months ago. The Second
Regiment band is good one, and this
could have been said without kicking
the Grand Rapids youngsters.

Late Tales OF the Recent Flood.

The recent high water did a
large amount of damage to the
farms and crops in the neighborhood
of Nekoosa. 1t is said that one OF the
curious sights during the food was
the live rabbits an shocks Of corn and
small cocks of buckwheat and hay.
floating off the oyertiowed districts
during the flood. Much good land
was covered with layer of fine sand,
in some places to depth of three
or four inches. Mr.. Gillett on the
Wm. Quinn.farm lost 1000 bushels of
potatoes. The Dan Curry farm was
much damaged, also the Marc.au
farm. The heavy wire cables of two
ferries were torn down and swept
from position by the water and it
took several teams and quite a force
Of men to replace them again.

A GENUINE REFORMER.
Why Democrats as well as Republicans
Should Vote for LaFoIIefte,

The Jefferson County Union
summarizes in the following para
graphs the most cOgent reasons why
Democrats as we'll as Republicans
should vote for r. NJ. LaFollette for
governor. 1t has become the fashion
Tor democrats, in imitation Of their
leader. Mr.. Bryan, to harp on reform.
Here is an opportunity for you to vote
for real leformer who will do more
good in this respect to the whole
people Of the state than any man who
has occupied the gubernatorial chair
in decade. Don't you want to help
swell his majority? The Union says:
We hope to see Robert NJ. LaFOllette
receive the votes of those democrats
who said if he was nominated, they
would vote for him. He is the same
champion of the people. He is the same
advocate Of equal taxes and this is
going to mean a great deal to every
owner OF land in the next two years
The personal property of the state
that now escapes taxes will be made
to stand its share, and every man who
owns house and lot. will be benefited
by the lifting of a part of his load if
Gov. LaFOllette can bring it about:
and governor can do a great deal in
shaping legislation.
The taking away of the power of
the ward boss in the large cities will
help the people in getting men TO
represent them instead of the
corporations, and this means a great
deal more to the people than probably
half OF them imagine. In fact. Mr..
LatoIlette is the peoples man. He
is the states man in every sense of
the word and deserves to sit in the
governors chair put there by demo-
Gratis as we'll as republicans. There
are corporation loving republicans
who will vote against him. There
should be as many democrats vote for
him as recognized il him their own
friend and defender.

A DOUBLE DEAL.
Two important Real Estate Transactions in
City Property Monday.

A deal was cOusummated Monday
between D. j. Arpin and Jacob Lutz
whereby Mr.. Lutz comes into posses
sion of Mr.. Arpin'S old home. On the
result of this transaction hinged the
sale of Jacob LutZ'S bone and vacant
lots on Front street opposite the
Grand Rapids Foundry CO. to E.
ROenius. 1t includes all of that
block except the home of Ed. Mahoney,
and will be occupied eventually by
some handsome new shops for the
use of the Grand Rapids Foundry Co.,
and will be operated by electricity
transmitted from the foundry power
to the shops leaving plenty of yard
room which the company does not
now possess. Mr.. Arpin of course
will occupy his new home on Front
street, now under construction, as
soon as it can be completed.

FOOTBALL,
Grand Rapids II Wausau 6-An Exciting
Game in the mud.

Game in the mud.
The home team went to WauSau
Saturday morning with the intention
of winning and by Snappy playing
they accomplished their end.
1t was very diSagreeable day and
throughout the entire game a drizzl-
ing rain was falling and the gridiron
was coated with about four inches of
mud. Nevertheless both teams were
in high spirits and a very interesting
game was the result.
WauSau won the toss and took
choice of goal, leaving our boys the
choice of kick off. They decided to
have Wausau kick off to them.
At the kick off Grand Rapids got
the ball and advanced it Is Yards
before being downed. Then without
once fumbling the ball and without
once losing it on downs they steadily
advanced the ball towards their
opponents goal.
At the end of the first four minutes
of play, Brennan, the star guard was
pushed over the goal line for the first
touch down. Bunge kicked goal.
At the next kick off Grand Rapids
again cot the ball and started to work
it down the field as before, but lost it
on tumble.
They soon regained the ball by
holding WauSau for downs. The half
closed with the ball in possession of
Grand Rapids on Wausau's fifteen
yard line. At end of first half the
score stood 6 to 0 in Grand Rapids
favor.
In the second half Grand RAPIDS
kicked off to Wausau, who advanced
the ball twenty five YARDS and here
they were again held for downs.
Grand Rapids again started it's
good work and by a series of end runs
and line smashes the ball was pushed
to within three yards of the Wausau
goal line, when Lipke was pushed
! through the line for the second touch
| down. An attempt to kick goal
! failed, leaving the score IL to 0 in
| favor OF the visiting team.
| Then followed some ragged playing
for both teams and just one minute
before the last half was up Wausau
scored d touch down and kicked goal.
! The game ended with a score Of IL
to in favor of Grand Rapids. And
! for the first time this year our bows
left the field covered with mud and
glory.
Our boys were in excellent condition
! for the game and it was by their fine
team work and excellent generalship
on the part of our little quarter back
| that they won the game.
Every player on the team played

his best, which was shown by brilliant
plays on the part of each.
Several changes were made in the
line which has strengthened it con-
siderably. Trickey played a good
game at center. Sampson played his
first game at tackle and held his man
we'll. Brennan the former center of
the team was played at guard and he
put up an excellent game at that
position. He won the praise of all who
witnessed the game.
One thing worthy of note is the
excellent interference the boys gave
to the two half-backS on the end
runs. Very seldom could WauSau
break it up and long gains were made
around either end.
None of our players were injured
in the game and all are in fine con-
ditiOn for the game that is to be
played here next Saturday with the
Stevens Point Normal S second eleven.
This team defeated Waupaca last
Saturday by a score of 80 to 0. So our
boys are dOubly anxious to win the
game from the Normal.
1t will undoubtedly be close game,
for the home team will be greatly
Streng thened this week.
The line up of last Saturdays game
is aS follows:

An incident Connected With Milwaukee
Merchants Trip.
Milwaukee Journal.

NlINduhtt JUuIudI.
Another result of that trip came
into the Bradley and Metcalf factory
a few days ago. W. \. Fitzgerald,
who was with the eXcurSiOnistS, saw a
familiar face in the show room at the
factory and recognized Mr.. Parrish Of
Grand Rapids, whom he had met while
going through the mills Of NekoOsa,
and who had come to Milwaukee to
buy what he usually bought in
Chicago. All because he had met Mr..
Fitzgerald up there and formed a good
idea Of Milwaukee.

wanted the report to go over until the next
| day. so that he might speak upon it. He
criticised the character Of the examination
that had been held to test the efficiency of
| the public school scholars and did not con-
slider 1t a fair one. He said that he had
never known schools in his life in which
there was such uniform discipline and
earnestness among the scholars he had
| observed in the public schools of this city.
Mr.. Allison said that the appropriations
committee had not charged that the public
schools were inefficient He said that
| these schools had been practically without
proper management. as there was divided
responsibility. The amendment in the ap-
preparation bill provided for seven instead
of eleven trustees and gave them full au-
thority to manage the affairs of the school.
Low Salaries of Teachers.
Senator Foraker said that he had been
surprised to learn that assistant teachers in
the kindergarten of the public schools were
paid only at the rate of s. per month for
the services they rendered. He said he
spoke Of this in order that it might be in
yest.gated by the committee and remedied
In the future. He said that SO ZOO in
lump sum was appropriated 10 provide for
kindergarten instruction. He said 1t seemed
to him to be a shame, a scandal and re-
nroach for those who wers- responsible for
this condition of having teachers serve for
such insignificant compensation. Unless
there was some explanation that he could
not conceive Of he thought this condition
should be remedied.
Mr.. Allison said that the matter of sal
aries Of teachers in the kindergarten schools
had not been brought to the attention of
the committee on appropriations when this
appropriation was allowed. They had fixed
the lowest salary of any teacher at 1928 per
annum. Two or three years ago the COM
mittee on appropriations had been induced
to make a special appropriation for the
kindergarten schools but until Mr.. Foraker
had called his attention to the insignificant
sum paid the teachers in the kindergarten
he had been ignorant of that fact. He said
that that condition might be remedied by
the bill through the additional authority
given to the trustees.
Mr.. Mason suggested that these low-sal-
aired teachers might be assistants who
were really being prepared for the work
MIR. Foraker said that the case he had IN
view was that Of a teacher. who had taken
regular course in kindergarten training
and had taught for year in Massachusetts
She came here and took a school for So a
month. with view of ultimately securing a
position that would allow her an adequate
salary. She had made no complaint but the
fact had been brought to his attention
Mr.. Allison said that the matter referred
to was in the control Of the trustees.
unanimous consent was asked and given
to nave vote on the conference report at
z o'clock today, and with that understand
ing the report was laid aside.
