CEMENT NEAR MARINETTE ALSO
Fine Mari Bed Discovered in West OF
the County.


AS the result of an important O1S
covery recently made, new town is
expected to soon spring into exist
ence in Marinette county, backed by a
large and thriving industry. The new
town will be on Left Foot lake, little
over two miles south of Crivitz, and
the basis for it will be one OF the
largest cement industries in the coun
try.
An inexhaustible supply of mari has
been discovered on the land OF q. w.
Northedge, just west Of Left Foot
lake. 1t is sixty acres in extent and
runs from twenty to thirty-fve feet IN
depth and is of exceptionally good
uualitv. c.. W. Wayland Of Portage,
who is considered an expert on mari,
has Just completed an examination Oh
the property for a large company OF
caDitalists, and f1attering offers nave
been made to Mr.. NOrthedge by the
people Mr.. Wayland represents, as
we'll as by Others who have heard OF
the find. Clay is not Immediately
contiguous, but large quantities OF 10
are available within a reasonable dls-
lance by rail. Samples of the mari
have been taken away to be made into
cement, the better to test the quality
of the mari, and when reports are re-
ceiyed it is expected that large com
pany will be organized TO develop the
property.
The discovery of this mari means a
great industry for the vicinity IN
which it is located and will undoubted-
" rebound to the benefit of Crivitz as
we'll as the whole county. 1t means
the outlay of 100000 for cement
plant. It also means an annual con-
sumption of at least 100000 tons OF
coal. The Milwaukee road runs with
in a mile of the mari deposit.

TO HAVE RIFLE CAMP.
Congressman Esch Will Back Bill for
Camp Douglas Project.

Congressman Esch Will Back Bill for
Camp Douglas Project.
If the plans of Congressman John j.
Esch and State Senator Thomas Nor
ris do not go amiss Camp Douglas, the
state rifle camp site, will be perma-
nent federal military camp when the
next state legislature adjourns. Con-
gresham Esch secured an appropr1a-
ton of $150,000 at the last session OF
congress for the purchase Of the site,
and all that remains is for the state to
turn over the land to the government
for this sum, which it is believed will
be satisfactory.
Congressman Esch said that in the
event the sale is consummated the
federal government will erect build
ings upon the camp and that it will be
used as a permanent military review
ground, troops being brought for ma
neuvers from all sections Of the
Northwest. The war department is
contemplating the purchase OF large
tract adjoining the camp for an ar
tillery range, the location and country
being excellently suited for the pur-
pose.
Senator Thomas Morris will have
charge of the matter in the state legis-
lature. and If there is any hitch in
the passage of suitable bill Con-
gresham Esch will return from
Washington in time to appear before
the legislature to argue for the BILL

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the Old-Time
"AppIe-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom or
making New Years calls was de-
Iightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made In the
last quarter of a century in the use
of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
TO consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends. however, at the beginning or
the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead Of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has sen"
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
"My daughter and have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material.
sI shall not only recommend it to
my patients, but my daughter will be
most pleased to give demonstration
of Postum to our Christmas and New
Years callers" Read "The Road to
Wellville" in pkgs. There's a reason"

THOSE ELEVEN LOST DAYS.
Adoption of the ereqorian Calendar

Adoption of the Gregoran Calendar
of Importance to World.
The eleven days from Sept. to Is,
inclusive, are memorable for having
once been entirely omitted from the
Anglo-Saxon world
The Gregorian calendar was not
adopted by the British empire until
1851, long after most other nations OF
the civilized world had conformed to
it, In that year an act of parliament
prescribed that the next year, 1852,
should begin on Jan. 1 instead of on
March 25, as had previously been the
rule, and that in the following Sep
TENDER these eleven days should be
dropped from the calendar, the day
following Sept. 2 being known as Sept.
IA. Stirring times those were, too, in
which days were not lightly spared
from a year, with Give conquering
India and Washington beginning the
conquest of the Ohio valley.
But the procession of the equinoXes
took no note of trifies like these, which
could be accomplished as well under
one calendarial style as another. Il
may be observed that while Gregory
dropped only ten days from 1882 elev-
en- days had to go from 1852 and Rus
STA would have to drop thirteen from
1906 to square her dates with the rest
of the world.-New York Tribune.

ORDERS CLERK TO CERTIFY TAX.
Another Chapter in the Fight at Eau
Claire.

AnOIneE CndHIGF IN tie FiSuL d. Eau
Claire.
A written decision has just been
received at Eau Claire from Judge
Stevens of Madison, stating that IN
the mandamus proceedings he had
decided that the county clerk must
certify the disputed taxes OF 1900.
William Rowe of Eau Claire brought
the action. The sum involved is $12,-
823.49 in taxes which was transferred
from Eau Claire and Altoona in 1900
to eleven rural municipalities. the
county clerk has already certified the
taxes in dispute and action is now be-
ing brought to prevent the town
clerks of the towns involved from GER
tifying them to the taxpayers.
To support the county board, which
said that the taxes should not be lev
led. District Attorney Arnold left for
Madison recently and will argue the
case before Judge Sanborn in the fed
eral court. Mr.. Arnold takes the po-
sition that levying the transferred tax
is violation of that part OF the unit
ed States constitution which says that
the property of no person snail pc
confscated without due process or
law. The case is attracting wide at
tention, and as n. c. Foster OF FAIR
child has previously threatened to
carry the case into the United States
supreme court it will undoubtedly be
carried there for final decision.
The county municipalities involved
and sums levied against them under
the tax transfer are as follows: Vii
1age of Fairchild, $1,75O.52; village of
Augusta, $93972; town of Bridge
Creek, S1,4O349; Clear Creek, ST.
263.O1; Drammen, $262.SO; Fairchild,
s1958O; Lincoln, $1,422.3O; Luding-
ton. S976.S5; Otter Creek, $2,348.O4;
Pleasant Valley, $9O2.74; Seymour
$358.72. Washington, Union and
Brunswick, other towns at first con-
cerned, paid the transferred taxes IN
their towns after the commission S
findings in 1900, and thus are not con-
concerned in the controversy.-W.

tended so that the theoretical work
will be done at Madison and the clln1-
cal work will be done in Milwaukee.

should not be a mere formal one
but, in the contrary, it should be
