Up to the present time but few logs
have been hauled to the Arntsen mill
in this city, owing to the condition of
the country roads. As soon as the
roads are cleared of drifts they fill up
again from the high winds prevailing
the past week. There is not. as yet, a
large enough supply of logs on hand to
warrant starting the mill in operation.
Healy d Brown have contracted for
the winters supply of slab wood COM
ing from this mill.
w. G. Pradt, better known to most
OF our readers as the s'old East Ward
Judge" has just received papers from
| Sheriff Fred Damon appointing him
deputy sheriff for the west side of Mara
thon county If Sheriff Damon thinks
we are afraid of the old ex-judge, he
/ probably has never heard the story of
the best man in three wards. The
| sheriff has made a good appointment
and Walt will prove a good officer, if he
stays on his side of the llne.-COlby

The contest oven the postoffice at
Rhinelander is becoming very warm.
Frank &. Parker the present post
master, has held the office for eight
years and writer from Rhinelander to
the Milwaukee Free Press says of him:
"One of the principal reasons for
opposition to Mr. Parker is his activity
in politics against the direct orders of
the president. He has had the office

he has had it long enough" 5. Ii. Alban
is "a candidate for the position and

Fred Petrie, better known by the
common appellation of ''Buckshot,"
met his old e-whiskey-again on
Sunday and was conquered. He was
captured by the police while he was
trying to navigate the streets, and in
his attempt was also making an en-
deavor to push over all the buildings
and telephone poles along his route.
Yesterday morning he was brought in
10 court but was allowed to go without
being fined upon promise of straighten
ing up and going TO work. A fine has
no effect on him. 1t only serves to
swell the school fund. 1t is quite likely
that he will be committed to the state
hospital for insane at Oshkosh when
next he appears in court. The threat
was made year ago and had a good
effect for time.

that during the past year it has gained
materially in membership, three having
