NO APPROPRIATION.
Taft viii Not Recommend Money for
Bar or Cello Canal.

oaF Ut Sciio SaUdfs
| Washington, Oct. 80. - Secretary
Taft, in his estimates this year, will
not recommend any appropriation for
completing jetty work at tho mouth oil
the Columbia river, nor will he ask for
an appropriation TO continue the con-
strnction of The Dailes- Cello canal.
Army engineers who have been advised
OK the secretary's attitude are Of the
opinion that, unless some special legis-
lation Is enacted making appropriations
for these projects, work will have TO be
suspended before another river and
harbor bill can pass, something that is
deplored by the engineers as much as
1t sill be by the people OF the North
vest.
Mr.. Taft Is not discriminating against
the Columbia river in refusing to ask
for an appropriation this winter, for he
has decided to recommend no appropri-
atoms for river and hLrbor works.
Those projects known as continuing
contracts will be cared tor in the sun
dry civil bill without any recommend
alton on the part OF the War depart
ment, but, unfortunately for the Co
lumbia river, neither the bar project
nor the Cello canal is in this class.
Had Oregon full representation in
congress this winter, good strong del
'gation, it might be possible, with the
lid OF the delegations from Washington
md Idaho, to have the bar project
made continuing contract and thereby
provide means for getting annual ap-
'ropriations until the work is complet-
ID. But with only one representative
n Washington and no representation in
he house. where such legislation usu-
lily originates, this accomplishment is
onsidered impossible.

BOY RETURN Ed.

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM Boyer, who reside
at 1856 West street, were worked up to a
great pitch of excitement Saturday
over the fact that their son, Willie, a
boy fourteen years of age, who went
out into the woods the day before to
pick berries, had not returned. The
boy started out toward Rib hill but
failed to come home that night. Then
his parent got anxious. Next morning
the father started out to find him
but was unsuccessful. He reported the
matter to the police and a number of
men formed searching party and
went out and secured the country in
the vicinity of where the boy was sup
posed to have gone, but failed to find
any trace of him. Knowing that the
boy sometimes visited at the home of
an uncle in the country brother was
sent there on bicycle and found the
lad, but instead of reporting the matter
and relieving the minds of their
parents, both boys visited until even
ing, when they returned home. A fact
developed during the search which
shows how people car be mistaken.
The searching party ran across several
people who were positive they had
seen the boy in the vicinity of the Rib
river bridge, when the truth of the mat
ter is he had not been anywhere near
there.

PASSES CUT OFF.

According to a law passed June Goth,
1905, many public officials will either
have to give up their transportation or
resign. The railroads have issued cir
culars relative to the matter and the
same sreceived by many in Wausau.
The list of public officials as defined in
cludes any political committee; any
candidate for any Office or position
under the constitution and laws of the
state or under any ordinance of any
town, city or village of the state and
any person holding any Office of the
above character. A school teacher,
notary public, constable, road super
visors or members of library, school or
other board, alderman, street commits
sioner, etc, is an office holder within
the meaning of the law.
The term free pass includes any form
of ticket or mileage emitting the holder
to travel over any part of the line or
lines of any railroad, issued to the
holder as gift, or in consideration of
any service performed, or to be per-
formed by such holder except where
such ticket or mileage is used by such
holder in performance of his duties as
an employe of the railroad issuing the
transportation.

PLEASANT TRIP.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. X. Farrell returned
home Thursday after six weeks spent
in visiting different cities in the Pacific
coast states. Mr.. Farrell reports that
himself and wife thoroughly enjoyed
the trip and only regretted that they
could not stay longer. In Portland he
saw Robt. Fawcett and young man
named Allen who used to live here, also
Dan Altenburg He visited Everett
and there met Lyman F., Charles B
and Stephen f Thayer, A. Sherbert
and number of other former Wausau
people. In Snohomish he met Chas.
Upper and sons Chas. Jr., and
George.
In Coer D'alieu he met Bert Good
rich. At place called St. John, about
5 or miles out of Portland, the Barker
& Stewart Lbr. Co is building a large
mill. Mr.. Farrell, in common with
everyone who has visited the Western
states, tells of the large trees, giants of
the forest, to be seen there. At the
Lewis and Clark exposition he saw
cedar logs eight feet in diameter and
fir equally as large. The exposition,
he says, is very fine show and there
is very large attendance on the
grounds each day. He states that
some parts of the West is very poor for
agricultural purposes but many large
orchards of various varieties of fruit
trees can be seen in the valleys. Some
of these valleys are beautiful but withal
he says Wisconsin has more charms for
him. He further says that the claims
of Washington being great state for
rain showers is largely exaggerated.
More rain fell here in three days before
he left than he saw all the time he was
out there. In all his experience, he
says. he never saw such abundant
wheat fields as he did while passing
through Minnesota and the Dakotas.

BONNIE SCOTLAND.

A delightful entertainment, under the
auspices of the Senior Christian En-
deavor society, will be held in the Pres
byterian church on Wednesday even
ing, namely, an address by Rev. Joseph
Brown, of Marshfield, on "Bonnie
Scotland" the land of his birth, which
he has recently visited. Mr.. Brown will
be interesting alike to the children and
their parents. His daughter may &C
company him and recite Scotch dialect
poem. Alfred Wilson will also sing a
Scotch song. A small charge of ten
cents will be made so that all may
come; the object is to help the society
raise twenty five dollars for pledge
towards purchasing a piano for the
primary department in the Sunday
school.

night recently, appeared in court yes

by realization of what he has done.
Unless a change of scene comes soon it

MANY wed, more are parted" An
instance of the truth of the old saw was
illustrated Saturday in circuit court
when two petitions were filed for the
severing of marital connections. Mrs.
Nettie Clark asks for a divorce from
ner husband, Lyle Clark, on the grounds
of cruel treatment. She also asks for
alimony. Helena Lemke also wants a
divorce from her husband, Otto, whom
she alleges has abusively treated her.
Their matrimonial relations were of
short duration. They married only
about year ago.
A number of St. Mary's Court of
Catholic ForesteTs went over to Marsh
field Saturday evening for the purpose
of taking the scalps of the Marshfield
base ball team, but in undertaking the
job they had miscalculated. The
Marshfeld fellows rolled up a score of
twenty-five while they gave the Wausau
players six complimentary runs. The
local boys blame their left fielder for
the loss of the game. While engaged
in tightening his belt bail was batted
over his head, which he did not see.
The other players yelled at him to field
the ball and he did not know where
to look for it and four of Marshfeld's
players crossed the plate.

APPROPRIATED $500.

A meeting was held at the court house
Saturday night by property holders for
the purpose of taking action to stamp
out the cottony scale, which threatens
destruction of our shade trees, and
though the meeting had not been very
well advertised there was fairly good
attendance. The meeting was called
to order by IL. e. Flieth and Prof r. B.
Johns was called upon to give some in
formation regarding the insect, and de-
scribed it substantially as given in
another column of this issue He told
OF the experience people in Southern
Wisconsin towns had had with it and
the methods that had been applied to
destroy it. Others were called upon
and gave interesting talks. H. q.
Flieth, 4 B. Johns, Oscar Wenneberg
and DR.. l.. NJ Willard composed
committee selected to draft resolutions
and resolution was framed which
contained in substance the following:
That at the above meeting it was the
unanimous opinion of all present that
STEPS must be taken Immediately to
stamp out the pest that has begun the
work of destruction to our shade trees,
and it being the opinion that the work
can best be done by the board of park
commissioners it is voted that the board
be given full power to do the work and
that special meeting of the council be
called on Monday evening Tor the
purpose of taking such action as is
necessary in the matter. The resolu-
ton was. directed to Mayor E. G. Tim
norman and he accordingly summoned
the council members in special session
last night, a number of citizens and the
park board being present. The matter
was discussed at length and plans were
devised for carrying on the work. The
plan decided on was to place the city's
engine in the hands of crew and
spray every tree in effected districts.
One hose of so feet in length will be
used for trees on the front of lot and
one of $50 feet for those on the back of
a lot.
Alderman M. G. Ewing introduced a
resolution providing for an appropra-
ton of $500 for carrying on the work,
purchasing kerosene oil, etc., which
was passed by the unanimous vote of
the council
In this way it is thought the insects
can be killed in short time. If the
matter is left to property owners alone,
some will take measures to kill the
bugs, while others will not and the bugs
OF the man who does not spray his trees
will move over onto the trees of the
man who does the work, and conse-
quently the insect cannot be stamped
out. With the work left in the hands
of the park board, aided by citizens,
there will be some system in the matter
and good results can be obtained. In
Fond du Lac and number of other
cities whose shade trees had become
infested, similar action has been taken.
The park board will begin work at
once, but it is well that the work of
citizens, already begun, be not relaxed.
