j. w. Coates who departed few
weeks ago for St Leafs and other cities
OF the south on business, found that he
also had to make trip to Oklahoma.
He wrote home glowing accounts of the
worlds fair and believes that it will
exceed any ever given. From Okla
homa he wrote one day last week that
the temperature was so above zero, in
the shade and that the farmers were
planting crops. A couple of days after
wards, he stated that there was drop
of 20 degrees in the weather and he
longed for the land of SHOWS and
billiards.. He is expected home this
week
The February number of the Ginseng
Grower, published in this city by E. A.
Dunn states that 1.-The coming season
will witness the starting of more than
hundred ginseng gardens in Marathon
county alone. Some of these will be on
large scale, one of those now pro-
jected and for which money has already
been subscribed, beginning with an in
vestment of $4,000" 1t also states
that from present indications it would
be a conservative estimate to place the
amount to be invested in ginseng gar
dens in Marathon county during the
season of 1904 al fully $780, 00." The
largest crop of wild ginseng ever gath
cred in any one county in the United
States was harvested in Marathon
county last year.

j. G. Clarke has just received letter
from Thomas d. Brown, of Pontiac,
Mich, and it is full of old reminiscent
ces of the early days of Wausau and
vicinity Mr. Brown was engineer in
the B Single saw mill in the latter part
of the SOS, desiring to know something
about Wausau and its people after a
half century had passed, he addressed
a letter to the Wausau P. o. asking that
it be placed in the hands of some old
settler. So it fell into Mr.. Clarke's
hands and he replied and received the
letter in question. In his letters he
speaks of such old citizens as w. ID.
McIndoe, Col. Shutter, j. C. Clarke, b.
Single, James Single, Levi Fleming, L.
Hinton, Mat DeCoursey, Ben Berry,
CAREY Judson, Dodge, Barnes, Edee

barren hall to pleasure resort of
palms, ferns, Japanese lanterns and
other decorations, all tastefully ars
ranged, and the place was enlivened by
music by the Columbia orchestra.
There was no boiSterousness or rowdy-
