~ ~ A Center of Developments
BY ELLIS B. USHER.

Within sight of Withee to the east
ward, is the town Of Owen, the site of
the mill and numbering plant of the John
). owen Lumber company Of Eau Claire.
This concern has had logging railroad
running northeast into Taylor county, and
another to the southwest into the timber
on the Popple river, a branch OF the
Black. This land is now nearly stripped,
ana the company viii move its logging
road to Lombard, and expects to construct
seventeen miles of road into the northwest
corner Of Clark county, southwark from
that point.
This. sort of logging and numbering is
Indicative OF the complete change that
has come over all this timber region of
northern Wisconsin, since first the pine
logger began to reach the end of his
product; In the early days, even the
Spendld white pine of Clark county
would not tempt the logger more than a
mile from the bank OF a driving stream.
Later ne learned to dam the creeks and
Hood logs out Of them with the aid OF
spring frpshets, and finally he damned
the nam rivers and held back their wa
tiers TO help ont the drives from the creeks
as well as that OF the main streams.
lt was within comparatively recent
time that the handling of logs by rail was
themselves for many earlier years only
with the sawed product. Today they
haul millions of feet of wood pulp timber
and hardwood logs, and for long hauls of
hundreds of miles. Now they have fully
walked up, as have the lumbermen, to the
Importance of building into the timber
not for the timber alone, but for the set
tier who will follow the logger and PLANT
seeds for new and permanent traffic by
eultiyating the soil. The Wisconsin Cen
tral was jeered, in 1878. for building into
the. wilderness, but it was ore of the real
and potent pioneers in the advancement
of northern Wisconsin. l have before mo
