CUMBERLAND, Nd, May 1S.-The
operators of the Georges Creek mining
region are determined that the rioting
which occurred ten days ago shall not
be repeated when the men who have
declared their intentions Of ending the
strike report for work.
To-day Lawyer J. J. Alexander, who
is also president of the Georges Creek
Coal & Iron Company, come here from
Baltimore and this afternoon obtained
and Fred Dilcher, of the National
United Mine Workers and about 500
miners, who are alleged to have par
ticipated in the recent riot, from mo-
testing or interfering with the miners
who report for work next Monday.
The operators of the other companies
are reported to have acquiesced in the
injunction, which was obtained in a
quiet manner, and although signed by
Judge Sloan at one o'clock had not
been filed in the clerks Office late this
evening
The operators fear that when the
miners find out that the injunction has
been obtained that they will leave the
State before the writs can be served.
The writ, it is understood, empowers
the sheriff to be on hand with force
sufficient to see that the courts man
date is complied with
Nevertheless so determined are the
agitators that the strike shall not be
broken that it is feared trouble will
take place when those who want to
work try to do so.
The American Coal Company's men
are ready to go to work in a body, but
at the other twenty-one mines the men
are evenly divided and a stout resist
ance could and doubtless will be made
in spite of the injunction proceedings.

BELITTLEING THEIR MISSION.
Administration Seeking Reasons for
Not Meeting the Boer Commits

WASHINGTON. May ,1s.-what
chance the Boer commissioners had OF
being received officially by the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay is lessening In
consequence OF their conduct in New
York Administration officials have
been following with close interest tho
statements the delegates have made.
1t is unusual, according to the officials.
for the diplomatic representatives OK
foreign governments 70 come 10 tho
United States and Immediately upon
arrival publicly announce the purport
Of their mission before they obtain rec
ignition, and some OF the authorities
do not hesitate to call such conduct
highly improper From the admins
tration point OF view, the action OF the
delegates and their friends is calculat-
ed to stir up a sentiment designed TO
force the government 10 receive them
and carry out any suggestions they
may make.
1t Is still the purpose Of the State
Department to receive the delegates "a
distinguished strangers" and after
they have presented such papers as they
may have, the question Of their reeog-
milton as representatives OF the Trans
vaal Will be determined. II is becom-
ing apparent TO the officials. however
that the mission OF the commissioners
is more Of political than a diplomatic
character and whatever propositions
they may make looking TO the inter-
vention OF the United States In South
Africa, it Is altogether likely that the
President will decline 20 act
At the cabinet meeting to-day the
question Of the reception Of the Boer

scented to the President by the Secre-
tary Of State. They will be received
with every courtesy. but only as pri-
waite citizens and not Ia any diplomatic
capacity.

LONDON, May 1S,-Gen. Butler, in a
dispatch to the war Office, dated New
Castle. May IS, says:
New Castle was occupied last night
and to-day the whole Second division
and the Third cavalry brigade will be
concentrated there.
Il have sent mounted force through
Nqutu to expel a small force of the
enemy and to reassure the natives"
THE enemy have burnt the chapel,
broken much glass, plundered many
houses and taken cash from the banks;
but otherwise they have not done much
harm
The railway is badly damaged; the
Ingagane and Nkader bridges are de-
stroyed, as are many culverts and
pumping stations and water works.
"Of the 1000 men flying before us,
about 1000 seem to have gone to Wax
kersuoom and some by Millers Pass
TO the Free State. The remainder. who
are described as a disorganized rabble.
have gone north and say they intend to
make a stand at Laing's Mex"
Special editions of the newspapers
appeared and the tickers announced the
fact in all the public resorts. In the
West End leading thoroughfares were
eventually impeded by a constant
stream of the populace cheering them
selves hoarse and singing God Save
the Queen" and Soldiers of the Queen. ."

the lcng besieged place was sent to
the houses of parliament, where it ere
ated a great deal Of excitement in the
press gallery and Hobbies and soon be-
gan TO be circulated among the mem
bers OF the House of Commons.
Mr. Thomas C. Hedderwick, advanc-
ed Liberal, member for the Wick dis
trict, amid considerable excitement.
said he understood that news of the
relief of Mafeking had been received.
Was that so? No minister made any
reply and the debate was continued
But the House no longer took any in
terest in it, and the members went into
the Hobbies TO discuss the great event.

tested and found to be prolific for agri-
cultural pursuits. Then followed the fac
tory and the foundry, banks, big mer-
camille houses until to-day an industrial
and agricultural empire has been hewn
and plowed out of the pine forests of half
a century ago.
There's little left of the cherished sur
roundings of the days of the early
pioneers. An occasional timber wolf or
a hungry bear comes out to the clearings
and is now regarded as a novelty instead
of part of the greatness of the Wisconsin
Valley.
The government has protected the pride
of the Northern Wisconsin woods from a
game point of view The bucks and the
does still roam the forests with their
young unmolested by the hunter, save
for twenty days in the yea The Red
men are few in number, and have become,
in most cases, citizens. A few reservations
are left, occasional feather crowned
chiefs or mOccasin footed squaws are seen,
but they are but reminders, land marks
of the long ago. Their children and
childrens children are tilling the soil and
engaged in professions or pursuits.
Sounds Like "A Dream.
To the men who came here in Aud Lang
Syne, when the McIndoes, the Stewards,
and the Hon. Joseph Dessert of Mosinee,
the Gates and John G. Clark did, these
facts read like romance and the marked
changes wrought in the appearance of the
valley is little less than a dream. All the
cherished customs, tenets, sights and bust
ness methods are but memories. All is
changed, all is revolutionized, revelations!
From good place to go to get tele-
graph poles and Christmas trees, the Wis
cOnsin valley grew to one of the greatest
lumber and manufacturing and industrial
empires in the world.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1900-08-16

He is the real man who has wrought
such wondrous changes in the makeup Of
Central-Northern Wisconsin within the
comparatively past few years.
He it was who demonstrated that that
section of the great state of Wisconsin
could produce something other than lum-
Der.
He is the man, whether by reason of
choice or necessity, who has proven that
the soil, especially in the vast hardwood
belts Of Upper Wisconsin would reap an
abundance of almost every known agri-
cultural crop.
He has shown his brother man of gen.
grafton ago that in Northern Wisconsin
white and red clover, Kentucky blue grass,
timothy and other grasses grow freely and
luXuriantly; that corn produces forage
everywhere; that because of the above, to-
gether with its favorable climatic condi-
lions and it's pure waters, dairying, cheese
making and sheep husbandry can be car
ried on most prof1tably in that section.
He is the man who has had the temerity,
the hardihood. the bravery to lead the
way into the wilderness of forests that for
years had been accounted as barren soil
and bring forth results of untold worth
to his fellow man.
Yes, twas the settler who really dis
covered this New Wisconsin; he who has
demonstrated that any man regardless of
his financial condition can go up into
Northern Wisconsin and within few years

convert a piece of this HERETOFORE despised
timber land into fine farm and thus build
for himself a home and a competency for
the future, if he only Will.
All honor to such a man.
Make way for him and his followers while
they flock to the land of great promise
the Wisconsin valley, which has heretofore
been almost wholly given over to lumber
ing.
From this time henceforth a new era
will dawn upon the Wisconsin valley
from Eagle River and Minocqua in Villas
county down to Grand Rapids and Nekoosa
in Wood county, because the citizens from
one end Of the valley to the other have
formed themselves into a committee OF
the whole and set about making known
few of the many points of advantage that
section of the state possesses over most
others. This move on the part of the peo
pie Of the Wisconsin valley will surely
bear good fruit; indeed it has already done
SO, and even now the tide of emigration
to one of the most favored sections OF
the state has set in most noticeably. Not
only new settlers by the score, but manu-
facturers and business men in almost every
line, are turning toward the valley this
summer, and now that public attention has
been called to this section there will be
no stopping, for there are even greater
opportunities throughout that entire por-
ton of the state than most people have
any idea of.
The Wisconsin valley section, which is
comprised of Villas, Oneida, Lincoln,
Marathon, Wood and Portage coun-
ties, lying upon either side of the Wiscon
sin river, has always been known as a
tlmbering country, and up to within a
comparatively few years ago, little if any
thought had been given to the agricultural
possibilities of the country, especially in
the more northern counties mentioned. Of
course settler here and there had taken
up land and was slowly but surely making
a success of farming, but the lumber fea-
ture of the section was of SO much more
Importance than tilling the soil that little
attention was paid to the work Of the
plodding settler. OF late years, however,
the settler has become numerous in
every one of these counties and has dem
onstrated so forcibly that farming in all
its branches can be proftabIy pursued that
