ADJUSTMENTS

Tonight at the Hardwick the Noble company will present for the first time in Phoenix the western story Ten nessee's Pardner. The scenes are laid in the early mining days in Nevada, the play taking it's name from one Of the principal characters of the story that of Tennessee Kent who comes from her home in that state to see her father who has a partnership in a claim, to- gether with Caleb Swan and Asa Rice.
 Unknown to the girl her father has died some time before she leaves home, his correspondence with her being kept up by his old partners Swan and Rice; her arrival on the scene, and their acts of kindness. make possible the many good dramatic situations and the story of heart interest.
 A few years ago the play was exten- siVely played throughout the east, at which time it elicited the highest praise from both press and public, and today is considered one of the best bills before the public.
 The latter part of the week T. 4. F'raser's masterpiece, "The Train Wreckers'' will be the offering.
 Both plays are abundantly supplied with comedy both MT. Frink and MT. Neal appearing in tonights billi.

DlETZ FIGHT OVER
Says Dietz Will Build Mill and
Cut up LOGS.

s LADYsMITH, Wis, June lev. w.
Dfetz Of Rice Lake, brother of John
Dietz. thinks the fight at Cameron
dam is over. The logging companies
have spent more than $780, 900 trying
to move quarter million dollars
worth OF logs from the Cameron dam
pond aud the last of a half dozen
squads of deputies sent there has left
with the statement that nothing but
a criminal warrant will do the busi-
ness. The logging company at first
involved tried to get criminal war
rant and, failing, transferred their
claim to the logs to an interstate con-
cern in order to get into the United
States courts, but here again a
criminal warrant was refused. Feel
ing that at one time was very favor
able to the logging concerns has
turned into sympathy for Dietz.
1t is now now reported that Dietz
purposes putting in a sawmill and
up enough Of the 10000, 900
feet of pine now held to cover his
claims against the logging companies.

A LITTLE R. r. NEWS

Walter S. Syrett, of Chicago, one of
the promoters of the proposed Berlin,
Princeton and Western Railroad, was
in the village Saturday and Sunday.
Mr.. Syrett while not giving out any
definite information as to the present
outlook for the building of the road,
led us to infer from his conversation
that he is very sanguine Of it's ulti-
mate construction at an early date,
The surveyors of the proposed line
were in the village over Sunday, stay
ing at the Atcherson House. They
have the survey completed as far as
this place, and are making this village
their headquarters this week.
1t is understood that as fast as the
survey is made, arrangements are
being made for the purchase of the
right of way, and that the surveyors
at this time are taking levels, etc.
It is the most hopeful prospect that
we have had for some time, and as Mr..
Syrett said in his conversation, 'That
we are putting lot of money into it, I"
and as, so far, the promoters are
asking no aid, or anything else, it
leads many to believe that this time
they mean business.

FIRST WHEEL IS TURNED
And All the Machinery Runs in
Fine Order at the Trial Run.

On Wednesday afternoon the first
wheel was turned that set the ma
chinery running at the Merrill Paper
Manufacturing plant. Leslie O'Day.
son of Mayor O'Day and vice-president
OF the company, had the pleasure
of turning the first wheel. Every
thing ran in fine style and it was
something marvellous how the
machinery ran in regular working
order at the trial, for not flaw in
the work was seen. The machinery
that was set in molten was that run
by the variable steam engine with
800 horse power. Later the machine
run by water power will be set in
motion and then the part run by the
electrical power.
1t may be interesting to learn few
facts in regard to the machinery set
in motion Wednesday. This machin-
cry, which is used for the manufac-
ture of paper, cost the company about
10000. 1t took twenty cars to
convey this machinery here. There
are twenty-six big rollers and
numerous small ones. All this
machinery and also that in other
portions OF the plant were set up by
experts ia that line so that the work
would be satisfactory. The capacity
of the paper machine is 500 feet long
by 100 in. wide per minute or 10000
by $50 feet per hour. The paper
department is under the supervision
of r. G. Parlington.
The company will begin to make
paper about the first of uly.-Merrill

FLOOD SCARE A FAKE
No Danger From High Water

XVV"s
The reports that came into the city
Friday and Saturday about
threatened high water were without
foundation. Word was said to have
been received here that the water
was higher at Merrill than it had
been at any time this year, but this
was untrue, as Merrill flood stories
usually are.
Water had gone down to the five
feet mark by the middle of last week,
when the reports came, and people
along the river began to be anxious
again. Especially when the water
began to rise, precautions were taken
to avoid further losses by flood.
Monday from seven O'Clock in the
forenoon to seven at night the water
had risen one foot and two inches.
Up till noon today, it has risen eight
inches more, and had reached the
eight and one half feet mark.
kilograms from Wausau this morning
were TO the effect that the water was
beginning to fall, so the river here
may be expected to fall soon, and the
flood scare is over.

Something of sensation was
caused Saturday morning by the
discovery of statute providing that
if Governor La Toilette does not
resign while the legislative session is
in existence that it may be necessary
to call an extra session Of the legis-
lature to receive his resignation.
The statue providing for designations
of the governor and lieutenant
governor is chapter 961, and makes
provision only for their reception by
the legislature. 1t reads as follows:
designations shall be made as
follows: BY the governor and lieu
tenant governor, to the legislature. !"
Provision is made for the receiving OF
the designations Of all other state
officers by the governor and provision
is also made how appointments shall

A large number of boats were out,
both on the lower p,nd on the

contained family parties while more
held Sunday picnicers especially above

The boating above the dam up as

many were drenched. Before the

FIRE RUN AT NIGHT
West Side Fire During Friday
Nifht Storm.

The west side fire company made a
run at half past two Saturday morn
ing, to the Leannes place in the
eighth ward. During the storm the
small barn on the place was struck by
lightning and caught fire. At first
it was thought to be a residence, as
the flames from the burning building
cleaned brightly against the sky for
a time. The fire was nearly out when
the department arrived, as the barn
was only a small one, about ten by
fifteen feet, and straw thatched. One
hundred dollars will cover the
damage. The fire run was made In
good time, and through q driving
rain.
