HOW TO GET RURAL DELIVERY,
We Should Have One From This Office

Showing Something of the Great Paper
Industry of This Neighborhood,
In conversation with Geo. Wood of
this city the other day mention was
made of the new paper mill at
Wausau. Mr.. Wood is something of a
StatiStician and an authority on the
subject of paper mills and from him
we cleaned the following figures
relative to the vast industry in this
useful product that is located in and
about Grand Rapids:
Size of the WauSau mills-Two
paper machines, each 110 inches wide;
8 grinders and 2 sulphite digesterS,
operated by water, steam and electric
power, frame construction except two
small brick buildings; II water wheels.
The Pioneer Pulp Co.-A frame
structure with four grinders, located
in Grand Rapids.
Centralia Pulp & Water Power Co.
Two paper machines. one SO and the
other 106 inches in width with five
grinders. The building is OF frame
construction.
Two machines. one of 1OS and the
other 116 inches in width: IL grinders:
solid brick structure throughout.
This mill is considered by many paper
men as the model paper mill of the
northwest.
Grand Rapids Pulp & Paper Co.
Two paper machines, one Sc and the
other 102 inches in width with eight
orr hrin Ctp of

Nekoosa Paper Co.-This is one of
the largest mills of the kind in the
structure throughout and is COM
Three of these machines are now in
operation as follows:
One of 104, another of 112 and a
third of l20 inches in width. The
fourth machine which Will soon be
added will be about 156 inches wide.
There are IA grinders here and
Sulphite digeSterS of 30 tons capacity.
The plant hasa well equipped machine
shop, including machinery for grinding
calendar rolls. This mill has 81 water
wheels, three $50 horsepower COrliSS
steam engines and several electric
motors. Something of an estimate of
the water power can be found from
the dimensions of the dam across the
Wisconsin river erected by this COM
panY. 1t is $50 feet long, 6t foot base

NEW MAYOR OF GRAND RAPIDS.
Short Biographical Sketch of Greater Grand
Rapids First Mayor-Why Chosen.

The first meeting Of the new
council under Mayor Goggins will
occur in this city next Tuesday even
ing, and the REPORTER has taken the
pains to secure a good cut of the
features Of our distinguished fellow
toWnsmaD, in whom many of our
readers will take an additional interest
because Of the honor conferred upon
him by the people of the united cities.
The honor came to him unSOught and
largely on account of his ipdefatigabl bic
and effective work in bringing about
the consolidation Of Centralia and
Grand Rapids. He was the unanimous
choice Of the citizens convention and
practically the unanimous choice of
the voters at the polls, only three
votes being cast against him.

cal sketch of Mr.. GOgginS:

became of age he lived on farm in
the town of Charleston, three miles
from Chiffon. In the fall of 1879 he
entered the Oshkosh Normal school,

DANGEROUS RUNAWAY.
Over the Wagon Bridge Wednesday Morn
ing. Nobody Hurt.


ing. Nobody Hurt.
A traction engine, coming down
Cranberry street Wednesday morning,
frightened the team Of E. Fuller of
Rudolph. which was hitched in front
of Johnson & Hill Co.'S store on the
West side. They broke from their
fastenings and dashed off toward the
bridge at terrific pace. On the bridge
were several teams including the
horse and buggy of Mrs. P. McCamley
and Charley Mobiles, who were cross
ing to the east side, Mrs. McCamley
being in the lead. Mobiles drew his
horse out of the roadway upon the
sidewalk, and Mrs. McCamley jumped
from her buggy and scrambled onto
the sidewalk. The runaways struck
Mrs, McCamley's horse and knocked
it down and in some way got by and
came on across the bridge. They ran
up towards the city hall and were
captured. Strange to say in this mix
up in the very worst possible place no
damage was done save the breaking Of
few straps to Mrs. McCamley'S har-
ness. Emile ROSSier who was leading
his horse across the river led him out
of danger upon the sidewalk and John
Canning who was near the east end
of the bridge ran his dray off, thus
missing another collision with the
runaWayS.

Prof. O'Shea'S Lecture.

1t is a surprising fact that these
valuable and instructive lectures are
not more literally patronized. The
attendance on Tuesday evening was
small compared with what it should
have been. This was the fourth
lecture of series of six to be given.
Each lecture has been rich in thought
and science and made applicable to
the child and adult alike. Parents
who have the highest ambition for
their 0ffsprings at heart, land we hope
we all have, are missing an excellent
opportunity to obtain that knowledge
how best to govern and instruct the
child from youth to manhood. Weare
pleased to know that the teachers of
our public schools have been ayailing
themselves of this opportunity and
attending each lecture. 1t proves
that they want the best going so as to
be able to convey to the child student
what they need even tho the parents
fail to be thus interested. Prof.
O'Shea has a pleasing address and a
happy faculty of making things clear
and simple to his hearers. Child
Study has been his life long work and
very little appertaining to that subject
but what he is familiar with. We
sincerely hope the two rem aiming
lectures will be more lar gely attended.
