CROP ALMOST READY.

The Wausau Canning Co. expects to
begin the harvest of its pea crop about
July 1st. The work should have begun
about the 10Th of this month, but the
cold weather retarded the growth, of
the first crop sown. 1t looks now as if
the peas sOwn later will be ready for
harvest about the same time, so that, as
was the case last year, the cannery will
be crowded to its capacity night and
day taking care of the crop when the
season begins. Manager H. C. Head
has assurance of getting two more
viners which were used in Indiana,
where the canning season is now over.
About 100 hands will be employed this
summer. The warehouse being built
near the plant is enclosed and rooted.
1t is 50x1O0 feet in size, of cement block
construction with iron roof and cement
floor. This building will give the
concern much needed storage room.
Nearly all OF this seasons crop of peas
was sold to jobbing houses by last
February, a small portion being re-
served for home trade. Besides the
Club House brands sold on the market,
the company also packs peas for a
number OF Jobbers, putting their labels
on the cans. The peas packed by the
Wausau cannery are equal to any in
the country. Cleanliness is observed in
all the work. and the pure food laws
are lived up to. The public demands a
sweet pea and they must therefore be
sweetened. Most canneries, in impart-
ing the sweet taste, employ saccharine
as a sweetenipg agency, but the local
cannery uses nothing but the purest of
granulated sugar.

ROADS INVESTIGATED.
The State Geological Survey Study
ing the Conditions of the Highways.

The State Geological Survey is sys-
tematically studying the condition of
the roads of the state, together with the
method used in building them and
keeping them in repair. 1t is taking
up this investigation for the purpose of
spreading as widely as possible the
knowledge of how TO build roads prop
erly and how to care for them in the
most economical and intelligent man.
ner. Particular attention is being paid
to the common dirt roads found along
the roadway for many years to come,
and therefore information as to the
cheapest and best means of making
such roads viii, be of greatest value.
Letters enclosing list of questions
concerning the roads in his township
will be sent to each town clerk in a
few days. 1t is important that a COM
plete set of data such as these ques-
tions ask for should be in the hands of
the Geological Survey as soon as possi-
BILE. Any person interested can then
find where the best methods of road
work in any county are being used,
and any advice the Survey may be
asked for will be based on a complete
knowledge of conditions which would
be difficult to obtain in any other man
ner.
Such an investigation as the Geo
logical Survey has started must be of
the greatest value. 1t is evident to
anyone who considers the question that
much of the money spent on country
roads is wasted, not wilfully wasted,
only ignorantly wasted but neverthe-
less wasted. The bad places are fixed"
every spring or fall only to be- ready
IN Qll0y and lob hOr
as soon as wet spell is ended. There is
over million dollars spent annually
upon the roads of the state bv people
who know but very little of the funda
mental principles of road building, and
as consequence much of it is wasted.
If the people of the state were to spend
a million dollars in any other way they
would insist on wise, economical man
agement. There is no reason why dirt
roads should not be passable at all sea-
sons of the year and afford much more
use and pleasure than they do at pres
ent to those who drive over them if the
fundamental principles are observed by
those who have them in charge. What
is first needed is not more money and
labor on the roads as much as the prop
er use of that which is already being
expended. 1t is the purpose of the
geological survey to put itself in posi-
ton to furnish information as to the
ways of getting the best results out of
the money the people are already put
ting into their roads, and in this way
enable them to secure better roads
without adding greatly to their present
expenditures. The survey will be glad
to hear from anyone interested in this
work concerning local conditions.

BODY RECOVERED.

The body of Christ Lund, who was
drowned in the Wisconsin river on
Friday, June Sth, was recovered on
Thursday last. The discovery of the
body was made after thorough and
systematic search by party from this
city. That morning Mat. Kust, a resi-
dent of the west side, who owns a gaso-
| line launch, invited a few others to go
down the river with him. After they
passed the place where the boy was
drowned they crossed over to the west
bank and followed the shore to Mosi-
nee, carefully scanning every bend and
eddy where it was thought the body
might have lodged. The trip to Mosi-
nee was fruitiess of results. On the
homeward trip they kept close to the
east bank and had reached point near
Schofield where the Eau Claire river
empties into the Wisconsin, when they
found another eddy. This they searched
and soon their search was rewarded by
finding the body. They took it ashore
and made arrangements FOR its removal
to this city. An undertaken went down
and brought the corpse to town and
prepared it for burial. The body had
been in the water nearly six days and
evidences of decomposition were appar-
ent. Since the boy was drowned an
untiring search has been conducted for
the remains. The parents have had
the sympathy of all people, in their
bereavement 1t was sad for them to
lose their son, but doubly sad not to
know where his remains reposed. 1t
1t was intended to make an organized
effort to locate the body and to encour-
age the movement the mayor, in behalf
of the city, offered a reward of S25 for
its recovery.
The funeral was held Friday after
noon from the home of the parents, a
week almost to the hour from the time
the boy lost his life. The services were
conducted b. Rev. S. N. Wilson.

CHILDREN'S DAY.

Sunday, June 18th, was observed as
children's day by the Uniyersalists in
this city. Services were held in the
church at 1890 o'clock a. m. and pro-
gram carried out entirely by the chill
dren of the Sunday school. Rev. Gibbs
talked to the children for about fifteen
minutes and with the special music and
beautiful decorations, the event was
one long to be remembered by all pres
ent. OF the decorations it may be said
that the church never presented finer
appearance. The whole front of the
auditorium was a mass of evergreeps
and beautiful flowers. The solo sang
by Mrs. Edwin Howard was especially
fine and pleasing to the audience. Mrs.
w w. kleckner trained the young
people in their drills and songs and is
to be congratulated on the success OF
the exercises.

that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that 1t fails to cure. Send for list of
