Valley, Showing Location and Estimated Horse

The readers of the Pilot have
read much about the Wisconsin
river valley and its wonderful re-
sources, of late, but nothing that
will open the eyes of the public as
the following table, which shows the
vast amount of water power in
Marathon county alone, mostly
lying idle and which only needs a
little investment to be turned to
practical and profitable use. At a
meeting of the Wisconsin River
Valley Advancement Association, it
was suggested that map of the
valley be prepared showing the 10
cation and actual horse power of
every water power in the valley.
Eugene Sheppard, of Rhinelander,
agreed to prepare such map, and
8 member of the association from
each county volunteered to furnish
the required information from his

BIG RIB.

Since our advancement associa
ton began to lookup the resources
of the Wisconsin valley we have
found out more about ourselves
than we ever knew or dreamed of
before. Take the item of water
power Residents of this valley
have not been particularly i'm
pressed with our water powers.
They have thought we had right
smart" of water power, but have
never sensed the astounding actual
facts. In the above table we give
the actual figures of Marathon

a moment Try to get mental
grasp of its significance. Then
consider that from Nekoosa, in
Wood county, to Eagle River, in
Villas county, all the way through
the counties of the Wisconsin val
ley,-through Wood, Portage, Mara
thon, Lincoln, Oneida and Villas
six large counties, the Wisconsin
river contains immense water
powers Think of six Wisconsin
counties that contain probably three
hundred thousand horse pcsseF in water
fall. But that is not all, nor is it
really the best of it, for, ordinarily,
rivers containing water powers are
affected BY freshets and droughts,
so that an even flow, or anything
like it, can not be depended upon.
There are only two exceptions to
this in the United States, and both
are In Wisconsin The lower Fox,

THE CURZON'S LONDON HOME.
The House Is Famous and Has a Mag
nificent Situation.

Joseph H. Choate, United States
ambassador to England, is to live for
two years in the London house be-
longing to the 'Curzons, now in India.
In way it is likeigo into an Amer
lean house, because Mrs. Curzon was
an American girl and the house was
given her by her father, Levi Letter
of Chicago. The house is famous and
has magnificent situation on Carlton
House terrace, overlooking Bucking-
ham palace, but 1t is extravagantly
plain outside and not extravagantly
nor palatially furnished.
The inner hall Is the most fascinat-
ing place in the house, for here are
hung Lord Curzon's far-famed Rey-
holds prints. They are in a double
row up the staircase.
|. The floor, of cold-toned marble, is
strewn with the most beautiful old
rugs, Daghestans, Cossacks, soft-col-
ored Persians serve as a rich-toned
background for some fine examples in
Chippendale and all manner Of early
English furniture. Particularly strik~
ing are the two old cabinets, on either
side of the fireplace, filed with ex-
quisite srecimens of Royal Worcester
Crown Derby, and old Chelsea of an
earlier day
The light is soft, reflected as it is
by the pale robins egg blue 81 the
walls, gradually fading into cream in
the upper hall.
The staircase is not particularly
wide or stately. 1t circles half way
round the inner hall and then simply
disappears to the regions above.
Up the circular staircase from the
inner hall below it is but few steps
to the drawing-room. This room cor
responds exactly in position to the din
ing-room below. Both rooms are large
to be exact, they are 70 feet long by
% feet wide. If tie dining-room IS
conyentionally dark and heavy the
drawing-room is equally conventional
with its white and gold wall paneling,
just touched here and there with
dashes of pale blue.
Even the fireplaces fall into the gen.
eral scheme of coior-they are unusu-
ally pretty. They are Of old-fashioned
cream carved marble, and guiltless OF
even the slightest silk drapery: in fact,
the distinction is that of simplicity.
The house has electric lighting and a
passenger elevator. The one peculiar
ly "Choate' piece Of furnishing is
the grand piano, which was taken
along especially for the benefit Of Jo-
seph Choate. Jr This stands in the
grand salon. the room for all sorts of
fetes and formaiities, which room Is

wide.-Boston Journal

locality. D. L. Plumer, of this
city, has been an enthusiastic
worker of the association since its
organization, and owing to the fact
that he followed civil engineering
for years in the valley, when a
young man, he is probably more
conversant with the water powers
of the Wisconsin river and its tribu-
taries than any other man. Mr..
Plumer has all along placed the
horse power of the valley at over
200, 900, but to the uninformed this
seemed enormous, and it has been
placed at the very conservative
figure of 100000. Mr.. Plumer
volunteered to make the estimate
for this county, and has been ably
assisted in his work by surveyor G.
w. Natter. The following is a

mates, which was completed yester-

Their recent meeting in Philadelphia
ought to convince the leaders of that
party that certain defeat awaits them
this year, unless they take time by the
forelock at once, retreat from their
present position, and promise to do
better. Win they do it? Probably
not. For one reason they are too conf
dent in the power of money to win out
as in 1896. For another they have gone
too far to retreat and preserve the con
fidence of anybody, For another rea-

BURNED OFF MUSTACHE.
A Slick Rascal Who Desired to Avoid
Identification by Police.

Richard Condor, alias Crutch Dill
lon, a one-legged man who gave a diff
ferent address each time he was asked
for his residence, had several small
burns on his face when he appeared
in the Yorkville police court today as
result of burning off his mustache
last night in the East Twenty-second
street station, so that he could not be
identified.
Condor has the reputation Of being
the feetest one-legged runner in the
city. He wears an artificial leg and
can run faster than many men with
two sound legs. He has managed to
outrun several policemen who sought
to arrest him under suspicious cir
cumstances. A month ago a police
man arrested him for begging, and
found in his pocket the card Of Mrs.
Ida Gray. Condor was let go in court
the next day before it was learned that
Mrs. Gray had been robbed of peck
etbook Detective Kelly, Of the East
Twenty-secOnd street station, saw Con-
don at Fourth avenue and Seventeenth
street last night and approached him.
Condor saw the detective approaching
and put off toward Third avenue. He
ran like deer, his artificial leg thump-
ing on the sidewalk and was increas-
ing the distance between himself and
the detective when another policeman
headed him off at Third avenue He
was locked up, while the detective
sought Mrs. Gray to see If she could
identify the prisoner as the man who
had robbed her.
Condor had heavy sandy mustache
when placed in the station-house cell.
He also had number of matches in his
pocket. and along about midnight the
prisoners in nearby cells saw the sput-
tering matches In his cell and smelled
the odor of burning hair. The the
doorman went to Condon's cell this
morning he was puzzled by the pris-
oner's changed appearance, but a num-
Der Of burned matches on the floor ex-
planned the loss Of the mans mustaehe
and the burns on his face.
When the prisoner was arraigned in
the Yorkville police court today he
found that his precautions against be-
ing identified We're unnecessary, as De-
tective Kelly had learned that Mrs.
Gray had gone TO the country for the
summer. Magistrate Zeller discharged
the prisoner as there was no complain
ant in court--New York Sun.

same terms as the French journal above
quoted. But, in view of the present
psuedo cousinly love of Great Britain for
rs; in view of her fervent affection just
now for this republic while she is en-
gagged in an effort to strangle the life
out of the South African republics, the
following extract from the Arena arti-
Gle above referred to, will make inter-
esting reading for such Americans as
care for anything better and more tan
gible than the thoughtless inconsiderate
drifting which they are foolish enough
to misname destiny"
But short time ago the Saturday
Review (London) advised the British
government that as we were evidently
preparing to stay in Asia, and had there
by repealed the Monroe Doctrine, Eng
land should seize the first opportunity
that might present itself to take control Of
South america"
1t will not do to say, WARS have
come to this country and wars will
come. Nothing we can do will pre-
vent it, That sort of talk only voices
the senseless drifting fatalism above re-
ferred to- FataIism never helped a
man or patton; and, that "God helps
those who help themselves, is the very
truth We shall often be able to avoid
a war, into which this fatalistic states
manship, following this destiny" joss,
would easily lead us. Neither will it
DO to say that adhesion to the Monroe
doctrine is as likely to lead to war as it
is to prevent war; for Europe had tacit-
ly accepted and acquiesced in the Mon
roe doctrine, and if we adhere to il we
shall be SO far away from them that
they would be at y great disadvantage
in attacking us, and so will be deferred
from making war upon us, while if we
hold colonies twelve thousand miles
away, which they can reach much cas-
Ter than we, these colonies will present
a constant temptation to unfriendly pa
tons, and q temptation whose danger
to US is increased by the fact that the
inhabitants of the colonies hate US most
fervently and will always be unfriendly
and ready to conspire with our enemies.
1t scarcely needs the vision of pro-
phet, or anything higher than common
sense to see that wars with European
nations are certain to result from our
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine.
This danger is already so apparent that
our fellow citizens who have adopted
the imperialistic policy are insisting
that the army and navy shall at once be
largely increased.
1t is evident that this new policy will,
at no distant day, drag us into war with
European nations, and when it comes
to that, no one can forsee how great our
troubles may be- They may be as great
or greater then those of our civil war.
Let us think of the fate we may be Wis
ting on our children before we drift

UNDER the heading, an implied
pledge, the Daily Record endeavors to
answer our last weeks inquiry for
proof of its assertion that inpassing the
currency bill the republicans of the
house fulfilled pledge their party had
made. Now if the Record had only
said, in its first article, that its party
had fulfilled an implied pledge" we
should hardly have challenged it; for,
SO far as implying is concerned, there
are so many impliers in the republican
party that they can always find the
right sort Of implier to imply anything
