CHANGED CONDITIONS.

A curious phase presents itself thi
year in the Wisconsin river pinery
which we think holds good all over the
northern part of the state, and that is
the scarcity of small jobbers. Years
ago, when the pine belt of this country
was being bought up by lumbermen,
the iobbers' camps We're more numer-
Gus than were those of the lumber COM
panies. A company would purchase a
large tract of timber aud then make
contracts with jobbers to cut it. The
company would pay so much for the
winters cut and issue the checks in
there would be nothing left for the con-
tractor for his waters work and many
went busted If wages were low and
the winter long, they made money; if
men were scarce and an early breakup
came, it invariably meant breakup
for the contractor as well. The system
became unpopular and gradually all
the large concerns began putting in
camps and doing their own logging,
and today there are but few contractors
operating camps in this section. With
in the past few years all the sales of tim
Der that have been made in Wisconsin
have been large ones, there is what
might be termed Capitalization of
purchase or compactness of timber
body formed in each purchase.
The timber of Wisconsin-thati is that
which finds a most ready markets.
now practically owned by few COM
panies. This gives them greater oppor-
tunity of doing their own logging With
financial success, and they have the
finances to build logging railroads
when needed, aud the latter are now
considered a necessary adjunct to the
logging of large bodies of timber.
Steam now does much of the work for
merly performed by cattle and horses.
Many have their own stores to supply
their camps with provisions and the
men with clothing, So that the operat-
ing cost has beer, made as small as pos
sible. While logging may be carried
on in Wisconsin for many years to come
it will be the owners of the timber
bodies that will cut it, and the day of
the jobber is past.

WAUSAU.

We are greatly interested this spring
in the outcome of plan to get us con-
nected with neighboring towns by a
trolley line" said M A. Hurley of
Wausau, who is at the Plankinton.
The prospects look bright and l have
little doubt but that the road will be
constructed within the next two or
three years, at the most The company
has not effected a permanent organ
ization as yet, but is almost ready to do
so. 1t is composed of capitalists of
Merrill, Wausau, and Grand Rapids
principally, although a few outsiders
are prepared 70 take stock in it. The
line is to extend from Merrill to Grand
Rapids, passing through Wausau the
route about eighty miles in length.
1t will be a. valuable acquisition TO
Wausau and will greatly enhance local
interests. These interurban lines are a.
fine thing and expect to see the time
when the state will be netted with
them.
Every one who cores from Wausau
can speak good word for the town.
The general prosperity there is a source
of woDderment to strangers.
The real estate values are high and on
the constant increase aud there is great
demand for city lots 1t is not exag
gerAting to say that there are not a
dozen citizens of Wausau, city of a.
600 inhabitants, who do not own their
homes. This not only applies to
bankers, lumbermen, and skilled me-
chanics, but to the laboring classes as
well There are no bankrupts, no in
solvents, aud every person living there
takes pride in the city and tries to
advance its interests, and the effects of
this are everywhere evident. The peo-
pie are happier and more contented
because of it, and manufacturers are
taking advantage of the opportunities
offered by the place. There are large
manufacturing interests there and with
prospects for more. The city is sur
rounded by the finest farming country
in the state and not only are all of the
farmers depositing money in the banks,
but many of them are stockholders.
The city is not boom town, but is a
permanent place, and will be one of the
leading cities in the west before many
years milwaukee Sentinel.

Bills have been introduced in the leg
islature for state sid in the relief of con-
Sumptives, with prospects that such aid
will be obtained. One bill provides for
an appropriation of 500 600 with which
to build home for patients suffering
with consumption, and also provides an
annual appropriation for the mainten-
ance of such an institution. Another
asks for $4,000 for the improvement
of certain lands near Tomahawk, which
are now in the hands of an organization
of physicians known as the Wisconsin
Health Park association. The objects
and doings of this concern have been
previously mentioned in these columns,
at the time it secured options on the
Tomahawk lands, then owned by the
late VIM. Bradley of Milwaukee, and
the Alexander Stewart Lumber CO. of
this city, The association now has a
cottage built on the property men
toned, but is lacking in funds to further
project the work. 1t has come to be
a recognized fact among physicians
that life in the open air with a certain
amount of light work as daily exer-
else with such treatment as is known
to science, will cure majority of the
cases of incipient consumption. That
being true it would be a wise measure
for the legislature to give aid in stamp
ing out this seourge.
