School Board Meeting.

The school board met Monday even
ing at the library rooms in their
regular monthly session. Besides
allowing the numerous small bills,
they levied tie necessary taxes for the
coming schooi year Which amounted
in round numbers to 81, 10000. Also
recommended to the common council
the further sum of $3,1S5.00 for
interest on the school bonds. 1t will
be noticed that the levy for school
purposes is the same as it was last
year, with the exception of the
interest to be paid on the loan. The
construction of the high school build
ing is and has been delayed on account
of not receiving the large iron girders
necessary to support the large
assembly room. The contractors are
very much put out on account of this
delay as the weather is now very
favorable for that kind of work.
Otherwise our public schools are
progressing nicely in every department
and promise excellent results for the
year 1902.

ANOTHER RAILROAD?
1t Seems that Grand Rapids viii Have Fifth
Railroad

The Chicago & Grand Trunk has
very comprehensive plans for making
that line tranScontinental system.
Charles M. Hays, general manager OF
the road, has been quietly perfectine
a programme of extension to the West
since he left the service Of the
Southern Pacific and resumed his old
place with the Grand Trunk system
MIR. Hays has submitted his plans to
the Grand Trunk board, and they
have received their approval. If the
plan is carried out, and Mr. Hays will
certainly work to that end, the Grand
Trunk system will extend through
Wisconsin and Minnesota to st. Paul,
thence northwest into Manitoba, and
from there practically parelleling the
Canadian Pacific. 1t is said that the
road from Chicago to ST. Paul will
pass through Grand Rapids, as that
would be the shortest route and
therefore allow the Grand Trunk to
successfully compete with the other
railroads.

THE FIRST GAME WON
FOOTBALL BOYS DOWN W4USAU HIGHS
The Score Of 5 TO Tells Story OF Well
Contested Game--merrill at Fair
Grounds Saturday.

Last Saturday the Grand Rapids
high school football team went TO
Nausau and in a closely contested
game defeated the high school team
Of that city by score Of TO u.
The teams were about equal in
weight. At no stage Of the game was
either side sure Of victory. Our boys
all played we'll, but there is Still room
for improvement. Fumbling was a
noticeable feature Of the game, due
partly TO not knowing the signals and
partly to lack of practice.
Brennan and "Bande" again showed
up in fine form. Brennan was the
best ground gamer our team bad.
Murgatroyd aud CorcOran played a
fine defensive game. They were used
some in carrying the ball, but as they
had poor interference, their gains
were small. Capt. Kelley played in
his same aggressive manner, tearing
the Wausau line and stopping their
plays. Wood at left tackle played a
tine game. Kruger together with
guards, Potter and Renne made a
strong spot in our line. The signals
were we'll called by our quarter back,
Horton, and the passing Of the ball
was fairly well done. Young Nc
CarLhy played fine game consider
ing his lack Of experience and weight.

WANTS TO BUY THE GREEN BAY.
A Good Offer Is Said to Have Been Made by
Canadian Pacific.

A dispatch from Chicago, under date
of last Saturday. says that renewed
interest in the fortunes Of the Green
Bay & Western railroad have beer
aroused by the report that The Canad.
ian Pacific is making offers for a
majority OF the stock for the purpose
Of gaining control. 1t IS said that
the offer made by the Canadian Paci flc
interests was considerably above the
par value OF the road.
There has been in the minds OF
railroad men strong belief that some
time when the condition was favorable
the Canadian Pacific would endeavor
to gain an entrance from the north
west or north. This of itself gives
interest to the reported negotiations
for the Green Bay & Western.
Though this line would not give the
Chicago connection which the Canad-
ian Pacific is supposed to long for. it
would remove the possibility Of it's
falling into some rivals hands.

The football team Will meet the
Merrill high school team Saturday
afternoon. 1t is expected that the
game will be very close as the Merrill
All should turn out and aid the boys
in winning this important game. The
Wausau Record has the following to
say concerning the game:
Last Saturday was an eyentful day
for Wausau. 1t was a day which all
football enthusiasts may look back to
with feeling OF pride, and people who
had the misfortune to miss this game
will recall the day, but only with the
painful recollection Of having missed
when gentlemanly fellows, under the
disguise OF monsters, matched strength
and skill, putting forth all dormant
energy, to trample each other in the
dust. The wild stampede began at
2:30 O'Clock and the hilarious bowling
OF the enthusiastic rooterS and the
scIttohing G. horns, cialteris. OG the
gladiatorS' hoofs, did noL subside
until Wausau had been dashed from
its pedestal. Yet it was not an
inglorious defeat. WausaU put up a
stubborn game, time and again work
ing down the field by ten and twenty
yard ruShes, and when they were at
the ten yard line and victory staring
them in the face, they fumbled and
thus turned certain victory into
defeat. The score Of to will doubt
less show that the game was very
closely contested, the result at any
stage being problematic.

When completed and in running order the company will be able to handle any fabrics needing cleaning. Our in industrial pursuits are growing rapidly.

Collection of Curios.

Jack Gillispie and Albert Kra- mer arrived in Valdez yesterday after lengthy cruise extending along the kenai peninsula, into Cook Inlet and on to Nuka bay in the lower end of the inlet.
 They did some prospecting but the principal object of the trip was to gather curios, and for that pur- pose they stopped at every native village enroute and made good collection. Probably the most valuable of the collection is pair of old Russian kettles one of which bears the stamp of the maker and is dated 1881. It had evidently been silver lined as it still shows traces of the same in spite of the fact that both are as black and grimy as an old pot.
 There are two pair of sheep horns in the collection that measure II inches in circumference; a small cub bear and seal, both stuffed by the natives and are rather unique. There are a number of stone axes. bows and arrows, bear gut camilin- kas and bags. One very curious article they secured is fish that is occasionally caught along this coast. When dried il very much resembles a light buggy whip, being about six feet long and of a white substance resembling whale bone. The whole collection is for sale.

SURVEYOR DROWNED.

On last Friday morning Ole w. Johnson one of the survey party in the employ of the V. c. R. & Y. R. k. Co.,, was drowned while crossing one of the streams west of town. He was acting as rear flagman and and was signaled to come ahead. the others crossing the streams in perfect safety and not considering 1t dangerous they paid no particu- heed to Johnson. When he failed to appear in reasonable time, however, some of the party went back to look for him. His foot prints were traced to the river and his hat and flag pole found in the bay. Diligent search was made for the body but it was not found and probably will not be.
