A large number of young ladies,
members of the Methodist church choir.
were given possession of the tables in
John Young's ice cream parlors last
evening and after they had placed
their orders f. NJ James and Mr..
Young effected a settlement of the
expense. Mr.. James is leader of the
choir and for some time has advised
the young ladies to remove their hats
during choir rehearsals but they per-
sisted in wearing their head adorn-
ments. In one of his curtain lectures
Mr.. James jokingly remarked that if
they would leave their hats at home
next time there would be an ice cream
soda forthcoming to each one. When
they assembled for the next rehearsa
Mr.. James found that they had taken
him at his word, and he at once 'phoned
John Young to have things in readiness
for last evening.
Frank Sayner, the Rhinelander boat
builder, was in the city the latter part
of the week comforting with number
of our business men in regard to the
sale of a gasoline launch Some time
ago number of our citizens decided to
club together and purchase a launch
for use on the river above the club
house, and after casting around finally
decided to get one of Mr. Sayner The
latter, however, has been very busy
this season, because of so many orders,
and could not furnish the launch before
September and so the parties concluded
not to take the boat until next season.
Two other gentlemen also talked
matters over with Mr. Sayner and have
about decided to purchase family
launch next spring, and it IS quite
likely that others will follow suit |
before another season has passed. Less
logs are being tioated down the river
each year and the river is being cleared
of booms, piers, piling and other
so that in the course of a
very short time great many launches
will ply the Wisconsin between this city
and BrokaW.
