GATHERING DEADHEADS
The Process Is Being Conducted In
Menasha Pond Under Charge OF
f. w. Spiegelberg.

The gathering of deadheads is pro-
cess of redemption in the logging busl-
ness. Itlis being done now IN the dead
waters off the Flambeau in the Menasha
nond under charge of F. W. Spelgeloerg
one of the head fieldmen of the Men
asha Woodenware company.
This process of redeeming sunken
LOGS is conducted by raising the sunken
logs with pike poles and attaching them
to RATS made of logs light enough to
buov up the heavy ones. In this man
ner the deadheads are foated to the
mill. Mr.. Spiegelberg has four men
as a crew and will gather in all the
1oos for q distance of about five miles.
The deadheads include birch, elm,
Eastwood. hemllock, etc. Birch are the
hardest logs to float and are usually
left on the river banks until late IN tne
season for the double purpose OF al
lowing them to dry out as much as pos
sible and of getting the rest OF the
years supply of logs out OF the way
so that the birch can be promptly saw
ed up on their arrival.
Contrary to the general understand
ing, many henloek logs go estray IN
the direction of the river bottom. Inc
hemlocks that sink are generally shaky
butt cuts and knotty tops-the otner
cuts floating freely The smaller bass
woods sink very frequently.
Mr.. Spiegelberg makes a rough estl-
mate of the number of deadheads IN the
pond as enough to keep the mill running
two months.

ABOUT VENEER FACTORY
L. S. Barber of Merrill Was In Town
Thursday Looking Over the Lo-
cal Situation.

A veneer factory next? That is the
question. And it looks somewhat that
way.
L. J. Barber, who operates veneer
factory at Merrill, was in the city
Thursday considering the proposition of
coming to Ladysmith.
Mr.. Barber appears to be more for
action than for talk and busted himself
during the day looking over possible
sites for such an institution.
Mr.. Barber said to the News that he
would move to some point and that
up to date Ladysmith impressed him
more strongly than any other point.
He is a strong believer in the future
of the city and appreciates the advan-
tages from standpoint of raw ma
terial.
Mr.. Barber will make some further
Investigations before deciding where
to go. It is to be hoped that he will
decide in favor of this city.

IN AND ABOUT BRUCE
Conditions and Ideas Gathered on q
Days Visit to that Town and Sur
rounding Neighborhood.

Days Visit to that Town and Sur
rounding Neighborhood.
The editor of the News spent Monday
in and about Bruce. We found every
one busy and in cheerful spirits as be-
fits active people in good country.
This is the most quiet season of the
year in the towns of the county, every
one-or nearly so-being busy at home.
Driving through the country found
the farmers preparing their fields or
clearing more land. The new settlers
south of Bruce are rushing their clear
ings at rate that means progress in
opening up the country.
North of Bruce is considerable area
of we'll improved country which indi-
Gates what the whole county will be in
the future.
The most extensive single clearing
operations in that section this year
will be done by R. A. Austin on his
new farm at Galley Lake. He has
awarded to Messrs. R. S. Kiple and
Jacob Rapp the contract to clear,
stump and pillow one hundred acres.
These men recently arrived from Lor-
imor, Ia, and have bought lands near
the Austin farm which they will i'm
prove to some extent while engaged
on the 100-acre clearing contract and
subsequently make their homes.
Mr.. Austin will adopt leveling up
plan, the origin of which he credits to
F. P. Stevens of Big Bend. This is,
that when the stumping is done road
grader will be run .over 1.-The land to
level it. Mr.. Stevens has tried this
method and reports that it is an in
expensive and very effective method of
smoothing the surface, making it, as
he says "as smooth'as the sidewalk. "
Where land is intended for pasturage
this plan of leveling is not so essential,
but for fields to cultivate it is certainly
very desirable.

Last Saturday night was Woodman
night. They gave supper which was
an immense one. Hundreds were fed
to their hearts content.
The High School band dispensed mus
ic, Hayes danced and Johnson talked
Woodcraft. That is the story in a
nutshell. The good time will be re-
membered by all who were present as
it was missed by all who failed to go.
It was an occasion filled full of the
spirit of cheerfulness and nourished by
the milk of human kindness.
