The season for hunting deer began at
Il O'Clock midnight, Sunday night, and
will continue until the 30th While
deer are reported as being plentiful this
fall, hunters will be equally as plentiful,
and for the next twenty days there will
be a great many fatalities reported
through mistake or accident With the
introduction of the powerful nitropow-
der and small soft nosed bullet, such as
are used in the sporting rifle today, the
hunters chances of meeting with mis-
hap have increased. Nitropowdef is
much more powerful than the old black
powder, and the hunter has found by
experience that small bullet with
steel casing or soft nosc doestse work
as effective as the old style chunk of
lead. These bullets are, with Nitro
powder behind them, unless stopped by
some extra hard substance, carried
a distance of two miles or more and
danger of accident is thereby increased
The next law in order for our legisla-
ture to pass at its next meeting is one
that will protect the hunter
A few logs have been hauled into
town the past week. This is the season
of the year when the farmer has the
most time to SPARE, and he therefore
kills time these days cutting logs, coro-
wood, bolts, etc. When snow strikes
US, as it may at any day, and sleighing
is good, it is then that scenes will be
busy around the custom saw mill, for
it is expected that the cut of Eastwood
and hemlock will be unusually large
this winter. The season has started off
with good demand for logs and the
prices being paid at present are higher
than was paid for white pine some
years ago. The Underwood Veneer
factory and the Arntsen & Hirsch mill
will be stocked early, while most of the
country mills contracted for their
stocks earlier in the season.
County Clerk w. j. kregel has on
trial machine called an arithmometer
1t is piece of mechanism that COM
pares favorably with the line emanat-
| ing from the brain of inventors of this,
the twentieth century. No larger than
typewriter, and working with key
board, it tabulates and adds up whole
columns of figures, neater and quicker
than the most expert mathmetician
could perform the work. Any amount
within a total of nine figures can be
added with a single touch of a key, no
matter how long the list. 1t is one of
the greatest labor savers in an office,
where the computation of figures enter
into the work, that has ever been in
vented. A recommendation will be
made at this meeting of the county
board for the purchase of the machine.
Geo. w. Brown, of Pittsville, and A.
Z. Van Arnam, of Rio, both deputy
state game wardens, arrived in the city
the latter part of the week for the pur-
pose of enforcing the game laws in this
section, many fragrant violations hav-
ing been reported to them. When
Brown was here few weeks ago he
lifted net in a slough of the Wisoonse
| this side of Brokaw, but no arrest was
made at that time for want of sufficient
evidence, but we have it on good author
ity that before the game wardens leave
this section a certain Wausau fisher
man will be made jump higher than
Gilroy's kite. 1t is also reported that
they will investigate the killing of deer
with the use of dogs which it app ears is
going on weekly.
Henry Gross, Supt. of Water Works,
is kept busy these days receiving
moneys for the water taxes for six
months extending from November lst,
1901, to May 1st, 1902 About S17, ,009 is
to be raised this year in this way. The
amount for the last half year was over
IS, ,9OO but there is some falling off for
the assessment following for the reason
that the sprinkling tax is not added
during the winter months, and great
many of the mills and other manufac-
tories. using water, are closed down.
Thirty days time is allowed consumers
in which to pay after receiving their
notice, but Mr. Gross states that that
privilege is not taken advantage of as
rule.
