tionS: The first of the series of
photographs in this sketch from
which the half tone engravings were
made was taken at bend of the
Chippewa river some distance above
| the plant: the second one on that page
is view down the river from the foot
of the log slide; while the third shows
the beautiful river from below the
dam, by means of which the rivers
rapid course is stemmed to afford a
safe holding place for logs.
A panoramic picture running across
the top of the second and third pages
of this article shows the Chippewa
river in the foreground, and the
dumping ground and the great roll
ways above the company's mill. The
corresponding illustrations covering
the bottom of these pages care a
panoramic view of the lumber yard,
saw and planning mills of the company.
On the second page one of the great
roll way depicted exhibits the fine
character of the logs ready for the
saw mill; and the opposite picture
shows the perfection with which the
lumber is handled in pile.
The inscription accompanying the
illustrations on the last page tell the
story in only general way. The saw
mill is model of efficiency and con-
venience and is able to produce a
maximum quantity of lumber with
minimum complement of labor. Like
the planning mill, it is built for busi.
ness. The company's merchandising

two-thirds hemlOck of a comparatively
young, medium sized and thrifty
character, and the remainder is made
up of birch, Eastwood, elm and white
pine, the first two named woods
largely predominating. To those
familiar with the character of north
ern Wisconsin hardwoodS it is hardly
worth while to say that the growth
in this particular section compares
favorably with the very finest quality
of birch and Eastwood for which
Wisconsin is famous, and much the
same can be said of the elm.

materially in the production of very

BIG BROWN BEAR
School Superintendent Takes
Object Lesson in Natural
History Out West.

According to the Denver Post Of
Saturday a Central Wisconsin school
had remarkable ex-
perience not many miles from that
city. He was out in the mountains
expending his lungs with Colorado
ozone and doing little fishing on the
side to keep time from hanging too
heavy on his hands. The event of his
trip was the sight of large cinna-
mon bear that greeted the superin-
tendent and his fisherman friend as
they were travelling up Goose Creek
Canon six miles above Hot Springs
Hotel. The bear was pacing about on
a rocky precipice about five-hundred
feet from the fisherman and was first

By the lkind permission OF the
American Lumberman, Chicago, we
are permitted to reproduce an illu-
strated article which recently
appeared in their publication of the
Nash Lumber Company at Shana-
golden, Wisconsin, as follows:
The tourist following the great
trend OF travel across the state of
Wisconsin between Chicago or Mil
waukee and Minneapolis and st.
Paul would look upon and admire the
beauties of farm and field that came
before his vision from the Car windows,
but this portion of the state would
scarcely suggest to him that there are
other parts of this great common
wealth Which are delightfully."- picture
sque. North OF the southernly two
thirds of Wisconsin is a great strip Of
land three or four counties in width
which is absolutely studded with
enchanting lakes and streams. This
is known as the "lake country" and
in its way is one OF the picturesque
portions of the state. Farther north
Is found the great backbone OF the
state, the ridge where the vast iron
mines are found. This ridge divides
the waters of the state. Those on the
south Of the ridge flow into the
Mississippi to the southwest, or into
Lake Michigan to the southeast,
while north of the divide they flow
into Lake Superior. Along this
divide and Immediately north and
south of it is the truly picturesque
portion OF the state, where the land
is rolling and often are seen great i
outcroppings of granite. The |
streams are swift-running and drop
into frequent cascades, and waterfalls !
wherein the water drops from d !
precipitous height of as much as
ninety feet.

will supply as we'll as to the good
sense and excellent taste of its owner.
The excellent character of the
timber owned by the Nash Lumber
Company and its long tenure Of
existence make it concern to which
the retailer may tie with good judg-
ment. Handling its varied and large
timber resources after the most ap-
proved methods, with saving and
planning mills of the most modern type
and with adequate shipping facilities,
the Nash Lumber Company naturally
commands the confidence of a very
large and growing patronage.

In the May number of The Ladies

of digitalis tincture of Opium, and

of the number 1t 4ut for damages WAS
instituted by The t. V Pierce Medical
Company Of Buffalo, New York, pro

against The Curtis Publishing Company
based upon the claim that none of the
three ingredients was contained in the
medicine.
Upon the filing of the suit, we of
course, Immediately looked into the
published analysis 1t appears that this
particular analysis had been made, If
made at all, fully twenty five years ago.
We, thereupon, employed three leading
chemists in different cities TO make an
analysis of the preparation from bottles
| bought in the open market. These
analyses, one and all now show to us
conclusively that not single one of the
ingredients mentioned by us in the
analysis quoted that is, either dgitalis,
opium or alcohol WAS contained in the
bottles analyzed We then the Presi
dent of this Company and the writer
personally visited The X v Pierce
Medical Company ut Buffalo, and were
there convinced that the officers of the
Company were absolutely truthful in
their claim that not one of these injuri-
