If the city, and should be owned by a
company or private corporation. II
will be much easier and cheeper, to
Jbtain suitable grounds for a race
course and athletic purpose, than it
would be to S the present fair
ground for an athletic park.
If the $780, 900 bequest to the school
Lolrd by Jerre Witter. is to be used
for manual training and domestic
science in connection with our public
schools, it will require another two or
three acres for said building. The
future may have in store for us,
other educational public buildings,
hat will want sites, and this property
is ideal for this purpose and should
oe retained for these emergencies.
We are of the opinion that the fair
ground property should be kept by
he city, in reserve, for educational
institutions. The grounds should be
laid out and improved with water,
oil, side walks and drive ways, with
IN eye single to: the beauty and de-
coration of these grounds for educa-
Lional purposes.
We would suggest that an organiza-
ton be formed to secure a suitable
piece of ground and fit it up for
Ithletic purposes, this to include a
trotting park association, if those
interested deem it wise to provide
for such purpose. We have. in mind
several places on either side of the
river that could be made available
for such an organization. Let's talk
it over and e what can be done to
this end?
Others who have ideas on this SUBJ
ject we would be glad to hear from in
short articles to be published on this
question.

SCHOOLS CLOSE FRIDAY
Great Preparations is Now Being
Made For the last Days Of
Sch COL.

Preparations have been going or this
week for the closing days of schools
for the Christmas holidays. Each of the
rooms in the various school buildings
have arranged for special exercises,
and a number of the different classes
are going to have Christmas trees.
The last week before the Yuletide
is, as a rule, the days of ~contempla-
ton for the children, and they are
spurred on by the teachers to do their
best to make the "last day of SCHOOL,
a day to be looked back to with fond
memories. Then comes the two
weeks of relaxation and rest in which
the little ones are expecting the visit
of Santa Claus, and the elder students
are preparing to make their friends
happy. Then follow the days of reso-
luton, in which each true hearted
person honestly decides to lead a
better and more useful life, and con-
sequently the beginning of school
after New Years day brings the
scholars and teachers. back to their
long winters work happy, and de-
sirous Of being more useful and
studious.
This year school will close on Fri
day December q, and will not resume
again until January 2, 1907.

There seems to be a concerted
movement on the part of many of the
counties of this state, to unite the
efforts Of its citizens, for the sole
purpose of building up the county
and attracting a desirable class Oh
people to the farms within their
borders. This movement seems to
have been intensified by the effor.
that is being made by the state immi-
grafton society, and is, in fact,
supplementary thereto. AS h an q
county i5 would seem, took the initia-
tive, and now Marathon county ana
others are talking likewise.
1t will be remembered that about a
year ago, the representative OF the
state immigration association was i'll
this ciGy, and the explanation made
by him in his address before the busl-
ness men who gathered to listen to
him, vas that The state OrganlzaGlo
contemplated the Individual county
and ciCy effort. The state society
would advertise, but the county musl
put for1h the right enthusiasm i'll
order TO get the benefit OF this adVel-
Using. Has Wood County made any,
move to attract the settlers or H.
dus6ries that the advertising OF the
state organization has been educating!
1t requires very little thought Oh
the part of any one having the in
terest of this county at heart, to
realize that thousands of acres Oh
desirable lands, that might be
changed to productive farms, ale
awaiting just such effort, to locate
producers thereon. Desirable water
powers are just resting for the hal
ness to be thrown over it to start the
wheels of industry moving. Trans
portation facilities in the city OF
Grand Rapids are unsurpassed in the
state of Wisconsin, and the central
location of the city in this state, is an
added advantage and one of the very
best talking points.
Wood County is all right what is
the matter with booming it? Could
money or time be put TO better ad-
vantage that exploiting the many
natural advantages of the county:
While other counties are getting
busy, why not fall in line, and get
well up in the fore front. Get to-

solid phalanx, and not in Jagged

GOTCH AGAIN HAMPTON
Fred Beell Goes to the Mat in

Frank Gotch won back the champ
ionship he lost at New Orleans on
Thanksgiving day, Monday when
he defeated Fred Beell, of Marshfield,
the American champion catch-as-
catchcan wrestlerin two straightfalls.
Gotch won the first fall in 19
minutes and As seconds with an
English crosslock, throwing Beell
over his head and lighting with his
knees squareiy on Beell,s shoulders.
The fall dazed Beell, who struck
heavily. on the back of his head and
pinning him to the mat required but
a few seconds. Beell tried to bridge,
but his efforts were weak.
Gotch won the second fall in 81
minutes with a crotch and half
Nelson. In the second round Beell
was on the defensive at all times.
He had Gotch in a dangerous
position. Beell showed much skill,
but was unable to cope with Gotch
on the defensive. Gotch was on the
offensive at all time, but Beell's
c%leverness pulled him out of many
tight places. The attendance was
over 5000. Beell's share of the purse
amounted to $3.50, while Gotch
pulled down Sl,SS6 for his evenings
work. Gotch weighed POI and one
sixth pounds, while the Wisconsin
man tipped the beam at 16S.
