UNJUST.

1.-THE Marathon County Agricultural

for its president mas shown that it APP
preciates the requirements of the times.
There has been much dissatisfaction
with the manner of conducting fairs
the past few years-nOt that President
Quaw and the other officers were not
doing what they deemed best-but be-
cause the entertainment furnished was
not satisfying to those who attended
and consequently the attendance was
not all it should have been. Last fall
this dissatisfaction was more pro-
nounced and outspoken then ever be.
fore'
The above most startling statement
appeared in the Wausau Herald re-
Gently. If ever a set of officers
have tried to meet the demands
of the public it has been the
officers and board of directors
that have managed the affairs of the
Marathon County Agricultural society
for the past eight or nine years, for
all elected at the last annual meeting
have practically shaped affairs dur
ing that time Mr. Duncan, the newly
elected president, has all of this time
been one of the most valued and hard
working members of the board, and is
worthy successor to our retiring pres
ident. He has approved the course
which has been followed ali these
years which has made the Marathon
county fairs famous throughout the
state, and no doubt he will continue to
advocate running the fairs on the same
lines as heretofore. 1t is only neces-
sary for any one to look over
the table following this article and
note the steady increase of the gate
receipts to become convinced that the
fairs have been conducted precisely as
they should have been. The Herald's
cry of dissatisfaction concerning the
running of our county fairs is the first
that has been heard in ten years.

WOOD PRICES LOWER.

Sleighing has been excellent the past
few days, a fact noticeable by the large
number of farmers in town with pro-
ducts. Quite an amount of wood is he
ing hauled though there is no great de-
mand for it. Many farmers are asking
81 per cord for fit. maple, which is
lower than wood has brought for years
Some farmers are hauling hay, which
brings a fairly good price, reserving
their wood. until later, in hopes that
cold weather will boost prices. In this
they may be mistaken. Half the winter
is past and those who burn wood are
pretty well supplied. Most of the
farmers who have cord wood to sell
also have logs for sale land they are
busy lust now getting them in to the
mills. After the log hauling is over
more wood will be hauled, and an ever
supply may send down prices further
than they are now. 1t may be but a
few years when the county and city
public buildings will be burning coal
and il is then highly probably that the
man who has wood to sell cannot
realize such high prices as he has in
the past. These buildings consume up
wards of 1000 cords yearly. A few
loads of tan bark and excelsior bolts
are coming in but not many. Tan
bark is bringing a good price this
winter.

FORlY-TWO LOCOMOTIVES.

This is the most active season ever
experienced on the Wisconsin valley
division of the ST. Paul Ry There is a
great increase in business over any
other year and this is due mostly, it is
said, through the building of branch
lines. These branch lines now COM
prise more mileage than does the valley
division. The length of the division
totals 1873 miles, while the branches and
extensions that have been built within
the past few years amounts to 269 miles
ora grand total of 457 miles. Master
Mechanic Addleman has been given ten
extra locomotives from the Milwaukee
and other divisions, making forty-two
locomotives on this division, or more
than were ever used before. Five more
are expected within few days. The
business at this season of the year is
usually increased by the hauling of logs
from points north to the different mills.

A FAST GAME OF BASKET BALL

The Y NJ G. A. basket ball team sue
cessfully opened the season here on
Friday evening, the 18th inst, playing
the fast Marshfeld Co. A team and
holding it down to the close score of
% to "a, the closest Marshfield has come
to being defeated in two years, for it
has not lost a game in that time, and
our boys deserve great credit for the
showing they put up.
The game was one of the fastest and
hardest ever played by any two teams
here, the score being in doubt until the
timers whistle announced that the
game was over, and the excitement was
intense throughout. Both teams played
phenomenal ball, the team work of both
being the finest seen here in long
time. Considering the difference in
the experience of the players individu-
ally, the Wausau boys, deserve the most
credit, for they were practically newly
organized this season. and the Marsh
field team, with one exception, is the
same as started out. two years ago
They are taller and heavier than our
boys, but not as fast. The game was a
fight to the finish and everybody ex-
pressed themselves that the Wausau
boys did nobly in doing what they did.
Mr.. Foster, of Marshiield, and Mr..
Bliss, of Wausau, officiated and kept
the game we'll in hand
AS preliminary to the big game the
fast Intermediates trimmed the Senior S
End team by good score, and under
Mr.. Scholes as referee, these two teams
furnished a good exhibition of basket
ball. A. .Remfrey and James Nutter
gave an exhibition of tumbling which
pleased everybody, they doing some
fine work, showing the results of
faithful practice.
The return game with Co A will be
played two weeks from Friday and the
team will play Amigo high school at
Amigo this Friday, and next week will
have the Marshfield high school here in
Castle hall again. The team for Amigo
will be Ross and Weeks, forwards;
Young, center; YanAdestine and
Mccormick, guards.

PLENTY OF LOGS.

A great many logs are being brought
into the city at present by rail for the
mills of the Alexander Stewart Lbr. Co,
the Barker & Stewart Lbr. Co., the
Jacob Mortenson Lbr. Co, Arnt Arnt.
son and the Underwood Veneer Co
The four latter plants are being operat.
ed steadily, but it is not a policy of the
Stewart company to run during the
winter. 1t was predicted ten years ago
that saw mills would be thing of the
past IN Wausau in 1906, but those
prophets were short sighted. 1t was
reported few years ago that the Bark
er q Stewart people were about to dis
mantle their mill and move it elsewhere.
Since then that company has bought
enough timber to ensure its operation
fer years. A large part of the logs
brought to that mill this winter come
from the town of Hewitt. That town,
though containing vast amount of
timber, has heretofore been isolated
from mills. No mills were built in the
town and the haul was too long to rail-
road or stream. Recently railroad
has been extended into the heart of the
timber section in that part of the county
and that town presents a great scene of
activity this winter The Barker &
Stewart Co. has several camps in opera
ton and there are quite few small job
bers cutting logs for the firm Besides
this company there are several other
concerns cutting timber there and ship
ping it by rail.
In 1904 the mill of the Jacob Morten-
son Lbr Co.'s mill was DESTROYED by
fire and many thought for a time that
Wausau had lost a good institution
But the company shortly after began
erecting new mill, which has been in
operation ever since, part of the time
Running night and day. The Plumer
mill long ago was supposed to have
passed its days of usefulness, but Arnt

the usual amount of lumber each win
ter, ana IL is quite likely Will do so for
years to come, for surrounding Wausau
there is still a great amount of hem
lock and hardwood which farmers de-
sire to turn into lumber.
The operation of these mills employs
a great many hands, and until other
institutions move into the city to take
their place, their operation will support
many families.

WORK RETARDED.

While lumbermen in this section APP
parently have no trouble in getting
crews, still there is great demand for
men in northern pineries. The four
free employment bureaus of the state,
located in Milwaukee, Lacrosse, Osh-
kosh and Superior, are besieged with
applications for labor which they are
unable to fill. 1t has been years since
lumbermen were so retarded 10 their
work as they have been this season. 1t
was only lately that enough snow fell
so they could make use OF their sleighs,
and so far there has been no weather
for the making of ice roads, which has
seriously handicapped them. A firm
near Marinette is this winter hauling
logs fourteen miles, which is believed
to be the longest haul ever made in the
state. The conditions of this winter
promise to considerable cut down the
crop of legs and boost the prices of all
grades of lumber next season.

The more one seeks for the original
source of the mythical legend of the
Holy Grail, which is the foundation of
Richard Wagner's beautiful spectacle
of 'Parsifl," the more one becomes
bewildered at the many different ex-
plantations that present themselves.
Eminent writer's and scholars have
presented their individual views, ar
irving at many different conclusio 5
They all agree, however, in admitting
that the legend, in its various forms,
existed long before Christianity became
so potent a factor in the worlds his
tory From a close study of the sub
ject one would come to the belief that
the legend, in practically the same
form, but with different direct me n
ing, had been created in pagan lands
of the earliest antiquity. aud later had
been adopted by the early Christian
church in its mystery plays, and so
handed down to US in its present diff
ferent forms Certain it is, however,
that Wagner must have made close
study of the vast material bearing upon
the subject, and in the production of
''Parsifal' gives US an idylic story of
composite nature that is so exquisitely
told and contains such grand moral
lesson, that it will live and shine
wherever Christianity reigns and as
