boys are preparing for string band of
violins which they have made There
will be large collection of models for
sale, including picture frames,
tabourettes, stands, mission clocks and
various other things. Prizes will be
given for all the best individual work
in all the grades, as well as for the best
collection of model work. The prizes
will consist of tools, and lumber of
various kinds which have been donated
by the hardwares, mills and factories
OF the city. We have just completed
set of models to be sent to the state
superintendent as basis on which to
form an eighth grade course of manual
training for the state.
Last Thursday afternoon Mr.. Lewis,
OF the faculty, gave us very good talk
on our attitude toward an environment.
The difference between man and the
lower animals is that man has the
power to think and to form different
attitudes. We have our attitudes
toward the school, toward our fellows,
and toward ourselves. Our attitude
towards school is divided up into our
attitudes towards our studies, our
teachers and our school activities.
Education is not so much the storing
away of facts in our brains from which
we can draw when necessary, as it is
mental discipline and the culture we
get out of it. Some pupils feel that
they ought to get out of as much work
as possible and go sliding along in a
slip-shod sort of way But if we create
this habit of neglecting our studies, we
shall be contented to slide along and
take things as they come when we get
out into the world. In regard to our
teachers, we should assume an attitude
of friendship and respect. When the
pupil Kisses at his teacher for being
reproved for some offence no doubt it
is thoughtlessness. But we ought to
think, for that is the difference between
brute and man-man can think. In
regard tc school activities, there is the
danger of forming cliques in school
which is very detrimental to every
school activity. 1t causes a lack of
school spirit. If our athletic teams and
orators felt that the whole Wausau high
school was back of them, they would
do one hundred per cent. better. When
student or number of students
return victorious from contest, they
ought to be met at the depot and car
ried home If only in wheelbarrow. 1t
is even worth bonfire. We ought to
have an attitude of loyalty.
Our attitude towards our fellows
should be courtesy. When boy walks
through the halls and assembly room
with his hat on he is discourteous to
the girls. But it is just tthoughtlessness.
When person is walking or talking,
while someone is speaking from our
rostrum, he is extremely discourteous
to the speaker. Again it is thought
lessness, but we should learn to think.
And lastly comes our attitude toward
ourselves. We should think about our
selves. Am l right or what | ought to
be? What do / want to be? What we
want to be is what we are becoming
now. We should criticise ourselves,
stop and see where we are and where
we want to be, nor can we be too severe
with ourselves. Mr.. Lewis made these
remarks not as hostile criticism, but as
a friend in kindly feeling, and they
were received with kindly feeling

BIG FIRE LOSS.

Shortly after ten O'Clock Friday
morning, fire was discovered in the
lumber yards of the Marathon Lumber
Co., village of Marathon City, owned
by Philip Menzer. A strong wind was
blowing at the time and it soon became
apparent that the hand pump and
inadequate fire protection afforded by
the village could not stop the progress
of the flames. Accordingly Wausau
was appealed to for help and the North
western R'y. Co. furnished a switch
engine and flat car and the city's fire
engine was loaded on the car and with
Rollie Gruenewald and Chas. Weik,
firemen, and M j Kriskey, engineer, a
start was made for the scene of the fire.
On account of the condition of the
locomotive the trainmen we're under
orders not to run any faster than safety
would warrant, but the trip was made
in good time and shortly after the fire
engine had been unloaded from the
car and hauled to the river close by the
mill, two streams of water were playing
on the blazing lumber piles. 1t was a
forlorn fight from the start. The fire
started in one corner of the yards, not
far from the mill, and swept diagcn-
ally across the surface covered by
lumber piles, leaving only one corner
undamaged. The greater part of the
lumber was hardwood which had been
sawed during the winter and spring
and therefore had not dried out. When
one of those green piles of lumber
caught firo it made very hot blaze
which the efforts of the firemen could
not overcome, and the spread of the
flames was rapid. Nothing short of the
flood that foated Noahs ark could
have stayed tteir progress and when
the flames finally died out it was for
want of more material to burn.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from spark carried from the sawmill.
The planning mill was not in operation
at the time. In the yards was piled
about 5000, 900 feet of lumber, most of
which was of the better grades of hard
wood, such as white oak, maple, birch,
etc. Mr.. Menzner had the stock
partially covered by insurance, but still
will be heavy loser. He has quite
stock of logs on hand to cut out, per-
haps enough to fill some of his orders.
We understand that most of the lumber
destroyed had been contracted for and
was awaiting shipment. 1t was for
tunate that the wind was blowing in
the right direction or else the sawmill
and planning mill and perhaps portion
of the village would have been
destroyed. AS it was, the fire was con-
fined wholly to the lumber yards and
the only building destroyed was a shed
which stock of dry lumber was
piled. Most of the lumber was
removed from this shed before the fire
reached it.

SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES,

b. F. Steinel, sporting editor of the
Milwaukee Free Press, while running
his automobile last Tuesday evening,
ran over Miss Florence A. White, from
the effects of which she died before
assistance could be summoned. A jury
has rendered verdict holding Mr..
Steinel responsible for the death of the
young lady. This is right. If Mr..
Steinel was guilty of earelessness, he
should be punished.
So far, in Wausau, we have been
very lucky in having no automobile
accidents; but there should be no laxity
on the fact of our police force in max
ing all owners of automobiles comply
strictl y with the state laws in reference
to speed. There is a penalty for run
ming machine on our streets faster
than at the rate OF 10 miles per hour.
1t seems to a casual observer that this
is violated very often. 1t is better to
rigidly enforce the law now than to
run the chances of having serious acci-
dents in the future.
Sec. 8, Chap. 305, laws of 1905, pro-
vides that no person shall drive an
automobile over any street within the
corporate limits of any village or city
faster than twelve miles per hour and
that in rounding street corners or any
where where the view of the road
ahead is obstructed the speed shall be
reduced, and upon meeting the driver
of a horse or team if such horse OF
horses appear frightened, the operator
OF an automobile must bring his
machine to halt and stop all motive
power. Everyone who violates any OF
these provisions shall be subject 30 the
payment of fine of not less than S1(
nor more than S25, and the owner ol
driver of an automobile whose machine
causes any injury to persons or proper
ty shall be held liable for damages. /
would be well for all automobile owners
to read up the law and live within it
provisions.

CANADA'S BONANZA CAMP.
Silver Ore Worth $4,000 to the Ton
Mined at Cobalt, Ontario,


Recently two of Wausau's most popu
lar young men, Jay and Ralph Nc
Crossen, went way up into northern
Canada, at place named Cobalt, to try
their fortunes il mining. 1t may be
interesting to orr readers to know
something of that new mining field,
which is now said to be among the
greatest in the world, hence the PILOT
takes the following flom the Mining
Journal, relative to that country:
Cobalt, Ontario, is rocky and
swampy tract lying in the heart of the
widest woods in the Dominion of Can
ada, which means that it is in its aspect
one of the most uninviting pieces of
country included in the North Ameri-
can continent.
From the beginning the camp has
had the advantages of being on a rail
road line. Its discovery was due to
railroad enterprise, in fact. Workmen
engaged in the construction of the
Temiskaming & Northern Ontario rail
way in 1908 were the disccVerers of its
mineral bearing rock. From it's color

copper, but the provincial bureau of
mines found that borings from a sam
pie slab of 70 pounds showed 66.67 per
cent of silver.
An illustration of the phenomenal
richness of some of the ore is afforded
by the example of one mine owner who
was offered S175, 900 and refused to sell
for less than $200,000 In six weeks he
had shipped ore for which he received
more than 5000, 600. AS to the perman-
ance of the ore bodies not much is
known. All the workings are COM
paratively shallow. The formation in
which the ore has been found is not of
great thickness. One of the mines,
which may be taken as basis from
which to Judge the future OF the camp
is the Timmins mine, where two shafts
are down to the 100 foot level, with $50
feet of drifting and some cross-cutting
done. This mine is no richer than
many of the other properties, so far as
developed, but is fair representative of
all. The ore that is being taken out of
the 100 foot level runs about the same
as that at the surface, averaging some
thing over $4,000 to the ton, with the
veins widening out to twelve inches in
places and becoming more uniform.
This mine has. shipped 800, 600 worth
of ore and has many tons sacked ready
for shipment.
From the New Ontario mine, which
reaches into the town on the north,
there was taken out and shipped in the
brief period of two weeks, ore worth
1925, 900, the expense, all told, being
only 81 900. Two shafts have been sunk
76 and 20 feet, respectively, and drift
ing has been done sufficient to take out
100000 worth of ore. The value per
ton of this ore averages $1,000 At the
present time S., ,000,0 900 worth of ore has
been shipped, and S3,000,0O0 worth of
this ore was taken out of the ground
with machinery that did not cost s., 900.
The native silver Is in masses, and also
occurs in films, flakes. sheets and wire
like forms especially in calcities. The
rich belt, the story of which is really
one of the wonder tales of mining his
tory, lies in an area of six miles north,
northeast and southwest. So far as
discovered it is about three miles
wide"

0. E. S. BANQUET.

Relative to the Eastern Star reception
and banquet held in Amigo last Wednes-
day evening, the Amigo Journal says:
Last evening the Eastern Star Chap
ter OF this city gave reception in honor
of the Grand Matron, Mrs. Jessie Luther,
OF Madison. About twenty-five came
over from Wausau and Clintonville was
also represented. At $50 sumptuous
banquet was spread in the Masonic
Temple banqet hall to which about one
hundred and fifty sat down. After the
inner man land woman) were duly
satisfied, Mrs. Z. A. Morse, Matron of
of the Jewell Chapter welcomed the
visiting guests in a neat little speech
Most happy responses were made by
Grand Matron Mrs. Luther, for the
Grand Lodge, Mrs. Charter in behalf
of Wausau and by Chester Miller, re-
Gently from Clintonville X in
behalf of the Clintonville delegates. =
The assembly then retired to the
Lodge room where work in the regular
ritual was done.
Some of the visitors returned on the
limited while others fingered until to-
day. The whole affair was most
happy success and the ladies in charge
are to be congratulated.

READ THE LABEL.
Some of Alum Baking Powders Offer
ed by Grocers.

AS is well known, the laws of uost
states require all baking powders made
from alum to show that fact on their
labels.
1t is not always that the manufactur-
ers comply with the law, or if they do
in technical way the terms used are
not Ineligible to the average consumer.
For instance "basic aluminium sui
phate" is nothing more or less than
"alum."
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
official reports of the Food Commission
ers or from the report of the U. S.
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, or other equally reliable authority:
BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM:
CALUMET. T......... Contains Alum.

The housekeeper should bear in mind
that alum costs but two cents pound
while cream of tartar costs thirty. The
quality of the powder is therefore usu-
ally indicated by the price.
