FIFTEEN INNING TIE
The Marshfield and Local Elks
Lock Antlers in Sixth Inning
And Refuse to Break.

The game of base ball between the
local and the Marshfield Elks' teams
at the fair grounds Thursday after
noon was called after the fifteenth in
ming owing to the fact that the Marsh.
fielders had to take the sos train back
home. The score at that time stood 3
to 3.
The score by innings was:-
Marshneld Il 100000 O8O0-a
Grand Rapids-0 0f1011 100000 0 o.:
This is probably the best and long
est game ever played by two Elks
teams, and consequently these teams
hold the worlds championship.
Those who witnessed the game say
it was the best exhibition of base ball
seen here this season. The attendance,
however, was very small.
Whether or not the teams will cross
bats again this season to decide which
is best is not known at present, but local
Elks are of the opinion that there will
not be another game this year.

WILL BE CORN SHIPPERS

Mr.. Eggert. Of the we'll know real
estate firm of Eggert & Pratt, called
the writer's attention to some extra
fine field corn that he had on exhibi-
tion in his Office. This corn was grown
in Mr.. Eggert's garden, from seed
brought from Illinois. Tha stalks are
all of thirteen feet high, and the ears,
which measure from eight to twelve
inches in length, count from twenty to
twenty-five rows. Mr.. Eggert ex-
planned that the corn was of much
better quality than that usually raised
in this county. In the course OF
few years of continued planting. it will
ripen earlier, the stalks will become
shorter, and the corn harder as a re-
suit. Mr.. Eggert is somewhat of an
enthusiast about corn raising espe-
cially, and farming in general, and
states that he believes the time not
far distant when Wood and Portage
counties will be corn shippers and not
importers as at the present time.

buildings and about so feet less In
heighth than the digester building.
The engine room is 62 feet 7 inches
wide and 100 feet long. The digester
building while the tallest, is smaller
on the ground, covering only a space
| " feet by 30. The blow pit room will be
81 feet and 5 inches long by 73 feet 2
inches wide. Then come the two
largest rooms in the building, the
| wet machine room and the shipping
| room. The latter is 141 feet inches
long and 53 feet wide, while the first
mentioned is the larger, occupying a
space 141 feet and inches by 81 feet.
All these rooms it is to be under
stood occupy position in the build
ing which will furnish the most
convenience for their special purpose.
For instance, the shipping room opens
out on to large platforms which are
built out to the railroad tracks, so
that the cars which are to be filled may
be loaded without handicap. The
wood room is also built at the end of
the building so that cars can be un-
loaded with the greatest convenience.
This is no small matter to take into
consideration when it is known that
this plant, once in full operation, will
handle about thirty cars a day.
The contractors inform US that up
to the present time the work has been
pushed through at a good pace, and
| that the work is some farther along
than it was anticipated that it would
be at the beginning of operations.
The roofs, it is expected, will be all
completed by Nov. Ist. and from then
on the snow Or cold winter weather
will not interfere with the work to any
marked extent.
| In conversation with G. Francis
Steele general manager of the mills at
this place who kindly extended to US
all possible courtesies in the gathering
of the information for the benefit of
our readers; that gentleman stated
that while it was difficult matter to
state just how many men they would
employ in this plant when completed,
it would probably be safe to state
| that at least $50 additional men would
| be needed.
We understand that the C. & N. w.
Ry. Co., the Wisconsin Central Ry.
Co. and the c.. M. & st. P. Ry. Co.,
are making preparations to put in
union side track to this plant which
will continue a switch to either of the
companies main tracks.

Value Of Policy on Life Of Her
Husband,

The jury in the case of Anna L. Cady
vs. The Fidelity & Casualty Co. OF
New York, brought in verdict Satur-

length in a previous issue of the Re-
PORTER. The case was brought for

COUNTY SCHOOLS
ARE FLOURlSHING
Good Reports Come From all
Sections to County Superin.
tendenf Morris.

County Superintendent Of Schools
Robert Morris is well pleased with the
| outlook for the coming years work
| throughout the county. He states that
most of the schools have already
started their work, but that a number
of them will start during the next
week or ten days. While he cannot
say definately as to the comparative
| attendance throughout the county al
the present time, he feels from the in
dications he has already received,
that the attendance will be fully as
large, if not larger, than it was last
year.
There are several new school build
ing in the course of erection, or
already completed in the different
townships throughout the county.
The Arpin and Vesper districts have
been divided this year and a new two
room building has been built in
.Vesper and a one room building in
the town of Arpin.
AT Milladore new school house
has been erected which contains four
rooms, and will accommodate many
more scholars than the old one.
District No. 3, in the town of Sigel,
had the misfortune to loose their
school house few months ago, by
fire, but out of the ruin of the old one
has come new school house so that
there will be no handicap to the edu-
cational work as a result.
Mr.. Morris is very enthusiastic
over the school work throughout the
county and feels that the cause of
education in the rural districts is
being advanced at the present time
much more rapidly and effectively
than ever before. The schools are
all provided with teachers, many of
whom have had the excellent training
of the County Normal school

Mart Hirzel, of Eagle River, stated
to the writer while in this city Thurs
dav. that a contract had been let for
a dam and water power. at Otter
Rapids, on the Wisconsin river, four
miles below Eagle River. The water
power is to be improved by the town
board.for the generation of electric

VOLUME 40, NUMBER Al
LINCOLN HIGH
SCHOOL WINS
Defeated the Stevens Point
High School by q Score Of n
to 0.

The first football game of the season
on the local grounds was called at
three O'Clock last Saturday afternoon.
Stevens Point had the ball on the
east goal. Woodw orth kicked about
twenty yards, when Chose caught it
and advanced it about ten yards.
From that on the ball advanced
steadily, with large gains, until within
live minutes Arpin landed the pigskin
back of the goal. Arpin failed to
kick goal and Stevens Point again
kicked off. Smith got the ball and
advanced it about fifteen yards. The
ball again advanced with large gains
until Voyer made touch down. Chose
failed to kick goal making the score
10 90.
The teams then changed goals and
Woodwork again kicked off. In
short time Crowns had made touch
down, Grand Rapids only having lost
the ball once on downs, and then
Stevens Point lost so that they were
compelled to punt.
Chose kicked goal and time was
called making the score in the first
half Is too.
Beginning the second half Arpin
kicked off to Stevens Point, and it
looked as if they had taken brace.
For the first two downs they made
good gains but the third was stopped
completely and they were compelled to
punt. The ball then advanced toward
the other goal, with small but steady
gains. Two touch downs followed in
quick succession both by Arpin.
Chose kicked goal on the last making
the score q to 0.
The ball was again kicked to Grand
Rapids. Two nice runs were mace by
Early and Crowns and the ball was
advanced nearly to the goal, when
time was called.
All the gains were made by straight
football and no one was seriously
injured.
The line up of the two teams was as
follows.

NEW SULPHITE
IMMENSE PLANT
Over $50 Men Will Find Employ.
ment When the Huge Build.
infs Are Completed. w. - "a

Poised in the air, ninety feet above
the earth on an eight inch iron girder
and surveying The bee like activity O
the $50 workmen that are toiling every
hour in a race against time in order
that the huge buildings may be en-
closed before November lst; the
writer was enabled to formulate some
idea of the immense amount of work i,
requires to erect mammoth buildings
like the new Sulphite plant at Port
Edwards.
From the top of the digester build
ing which rises to the height of I0(
feet, the observer can get a good view
of the work to the right, the work to
the left, as we'll as the work that is
going steadily on before and behind.
Men race across the narrow girders
with large timbers, while others tug
at the huge braces that are being pu,
in place preparatory to laying the
roof.
Personally conducted by w. E. Ule,
who is attending the construction
work on this new plant, we were en-
abled to see the magnitude of the
undertaking from the best points OF
observation. The roof in many
places has been completed, but there
is much of this part of the work yet
to be done, and it is the intention to
rush it so that the entire structure will
be enclosed by November 1st.
From this high point of observation
the l35 foot chimney did not show off
as we'll as it did when the ground was
reached. The work on this stack is
not complete as yet but only small
portion of the masonry remains to be
done. From the ground it is a mann
moth tower and the workmen have
executed the work in exec ellent shape,
and it is probably one of the best
stacks in this section of the state, il
not in the west.
1t was in the draftsmen's Office at
the north end of the building, however,
that the real information regarding
the building was obtainable. The fine
conception of the minds that conceived
the arrangement, and figured the small
est item in the erection of so large an
undertaking even before a brick was
laid or the broad axe shaped a timber,
was good illustration of the wonder
full mind of man. Long before the
erection could begin, this building
was built up on paper by the well
known firm of Jacobson & DeGuere
of this city, and it was by the cour-
tesy of their craftsmen that the follow.
information was obtainable.
The mean length of the building is
36l feet and 10 inches, while the width
in the widest place is 132 feet and 1(
inches. In addition to this larger
building the Acid plant, which is
being built under the supervision of
Mr.. Stebbens is 156 feet long
by ~ feet and 10 inches wide.
There are seven large machine rooms
in addition to the Acid plant rooms,
and the many smaller rooms to be
used in connection with the different
branches of the manufacture of sui
phite.
The first room in the larger plant is
n. III
the three large rooms and is 13(
fleet long by 60 feet wide. The
boiler house, which is separate
duilding, attached to the main build
ing, is 100 feet by So feet. This build
