At the Worden Opera house, August
21st, will be found an ideal type of
thrilling and sensational melodramatic
art in "The Convict's Daughter. T"
It is said to be original in conception,
plot and developed, and is described
as high grade melodrama with a
scenic production and containing those
elements that always insure success
realism, love, passion, comedy, hero
ism and self-sacrifcing devotion. The
author, J. A. Fraser, Jr., has con-
structed his five act play on original
lines, avoiding the old worn out love
story and in this and other respects
it is radical departure from the we'll
beaten path of melodramatic produc-
tions. He has given to the stage a
play that appeals in many ways to
the hearts and minds of all theatre
goers who delight in sensations and
scenes of startling realism.

That Rusk county as sheep feeding
and fatteningisection is success of
first class proportions, appears now to
be proven beyond any question.
The firm of Tubbs, Foy & Stericker
Brothers shipped second lot Of 1900
sheep from their ranch south of the
city Tuesday. Many of these sheep
had been on the ranch not to exceed
thirty days and were ready for the
market. They had come from the
western ranges and in that short time
had prepared themselves for the market
on forage from the wild lands compris-
ing the ranch of this company.
Other shipments will follow.
This is the ex perience of the Tubbs,
Foy & Stericker Brothers on raw lands
which will improve from year to year
under the grazing of sheep.
The company have had total of
about IL, 900 sheep at pasturage this
season. Next yeaf. the focks will be
increased to 25, 900.
The experience of the sheep men
will be the experience also of cattle
men, if the Judgment of the Darling
ton Brcs., who are establishing a cattle
ranch southwest of the city, is sound
and their conclusions are based upon
their observation here and their ex-

Eau Claire Has Large LINEN Mill
in Process of Ea&fy IS
tablishmeI1t.

1t will probably be news to News
readers that Eau Claire has a linen
mill. The manufacture of linen in
this country has been much mooted
question for a number of years and
plants have been established at various
places, but little has been said of their
experiences. The nerthwestTs a favor
able part of the country for such in
dustry.
Eau Claire has feand it necessary
to secure new industries to take the
place of the waning lumber Industries
there, just as Chippewa Falls has dohe
so successfully. They have organized
linen mill which will be put on an
extensive footing soon.
Of the venture, Hon. o. H. Ingram
says:
81 am unaIterably of The opinion
that all the fax tow necessary for a
big linen plant can be had right here.
There is a small plant at present,
which about pays expenses, but when
the manufacture of linen is gone inte
extensively, and with modern machiia-
cry, the result will be far different
The season was good for fax growing,
being cool, and rainy, and the harvest
season was favorable, but now comes
the test, the retting or rotting. This
is conducted upon the grass when the
fax is exposed to the action of the
dew and sunshine. When this is done
it is taken back to the mill. The re-
suit is tow, whsch will be made up here
in Eau Claire in a big mill equipped
with the most paodern machinery.
Works for che making of tow viii
be erected at Chippewa Falls, Bloom
.er and Menomonie just as fast as we
can get the farmers interested, for
on them depends entirely the success
of this NATTER
The result of all this will be that
If no untoward event happens Eau
Claire will have the largest linen
plant in these United States.

CONTINUING RAIL WAY
The Contractors Go Over the Line
On An Inspection
Trip.

Richard Evans of Minneapolis, as
sociate of Mcintosh & Mcintosh, the
Milwaukee railway contractors who
are building the Owen & Northern
railway, was in the city Wednesday
and on Thursday proceeded to GO
over the survey of the now railroad
en- route from Ladysmith to the lskeS
at Superior and Duluth.
This, in connection with other evi-
denees is taken to mean that contracts
for the construction of that portion
of the road will be awarded and work
thereon will be begun at the earliest
date consistent with economical con-
struction.
1t is the opinion of the contractors
at present employed on the Owen &
Northern road that the contracts will
be awarded this fall, so that thecon-.
tractors may get their equipments
in place during the winter and do the
right of way clearing while the ground
is frozen.
1t is evident that 1906 will see the
road completed to the lakes.
The Evening Wisconsin of Thursday
evening contained long article, from
which we clip the following paragraph:
All surveys have been finished for the
constru ction of a new line of railroad
from Ladysmith, in Rusk county, Wis,
formerly Gates county, in direct north
and south line, to Duluth, Mimi, total
distance of 125 miles. 1t is learned that
the contractors who will build it have
recently received an urgent request
to hurry up preparations for the con-
struction work, as the company desires
the entire line completed at the earliest
possible time, by next spring, if it can
be accomplished, To that end, large
force Of graders, track-builders and
others will be put to work as soon as
the preliminaries are completed.
Starting at Ladysmith, the new line
will be pushed northwestward, passing
through Rusk, Washburn and Douglas
counties, in as direct course as possi-
BILE, and passing through some of the
heaviest timber lands in that part of the
state. 1t is said the best of steel rails
will be laid, and the easiest grade pos
sible will be made

is a pleasant one and inconnection with
those to Flafnbeau, the trout streams

fact.

This Question Merits the Atten-
ton of Our Local
People.

Ever since Ladysmith became a
fact, we have been importing brick
good, bad and indiffent-but always
expensive Why?
That we have in this vicinity several
banks of choice brick clay has been
proven by the opinion of practical
brick men as we'll as by actual expert
ment. Why, should the brick We Sc
not be made here?
1t is true that this question might
be asked along other lines, but that
isn't Sufficient answer. The demand
for brick certainly warrants the open
ing of brick yard and the material
is of excellent quality and well iocat-
ed.
Here again is the need of an organ
lied effort to secure industries. There
are ways of finding people interested
in any line of industry-bu to do so
successfully requires an organized eff
fort.
The News believes that the city of
Ladysmith is losing every moment
it delays the formation of a we'll or
ganized body for the promotion of
local Industries. Such organization
is needed in every city-it is specially
needed in new city. Where oppor-
tsnities prevail to the greatest ex-
tent expense of promotion pays the
best dividends.
Such effort has been the success
of many new towns and has checked
the decline of many olds towns.
Chippewa Falls has shown what can
be done along this line and Ladysmith
should be in time.

MORE RAILWAY TALK
Rumors Of Omaha Scheme on Flam.
beau River.

Recent events in the city have pre-
ddced new talk about the Omaha road
coming to the city from Holcombe. 1t
is said that actions upon the part Of
Omaha officials forms basis for this
talk.
The keynote Of the matter is the new
pulp mill now building at, the rapids
near the Provost place. In this cor
hection it is said that the point of the
location Of the new pulp mill is the
natural point of divergence between
Ladysmith and Bruce and that the
Omaha people have an eye to both
points. The Omaha line is reported to
have given indication IF desire to
promote the development of water
powers along the river and to be plan
ming the proposed route with a view to
touching several of these powers.
What of authenticity there may be
to the talk the News is not in position
to say, but it is evident that the ap,
parently languid Omaha road has well
dlgested plan in view or they would
have occupied this territory long ere
this.
