1t Means That all the Weyerhauser Lands
in This County Will be Put on the
Market, and Will be Sold to
Actual Settlers.

A great plan for the organiza-
ton and settlement of North
ern Wisconsin was successfully
launched at Chippewa Falls the
latter part of the week. Fred
erick Weyerhauser of ST. Pau /,
John S. Owen, ]. T. Bar Der and
others of Eau Claire organized
the American Immigration Com
pany, to control all the northern
Wisconsin lands; including those
belonging to these men and it is
reported those belonging to the

and other companies. Thousand
of German and Polish immi-
grants will be broughto settle on
the lands. The Weyerhauser
people own thousands of acres
of land In this county, and these
with other tracts will be put up
on the market. This means a
great deal to this part of the
state, and it will result in thou
sands of new farms being open
ed up.
