their extent and variety, and every
line is well represented. Our citi-
zens can find no possible excuse for
visiting other cities to buy goods,
as the same opportunity exists here
and usually better prices can be
had, as the expense of maintaining
business houses is merely trivial
when compared with the more met
ropolitan cities. Wausau has al
ways been noted for the conserva-
tive, and at the same time progress
sive, character of its business men,
as is evident by the healthy condi-
tion of the various branches in
which they are engaged.
AS a MANUFACTURING CENTRE.
The manufacture of raw lumber
is a business the end of which might
have been forecast from the be-
ginning, and for a number of years
some people have been dolefully
speculating on what would happen
when the saw mills were gone. The
reply to that query is that many of
them are disappearing, and yet the
city grows.
These changes are more truly
transitions than losses, something
new and permanent taking the va
Gated place. Wausau has manufac-
turies of hardwood interior finish,
sash, doors and blinds, veneer and
built-up wood panels, wooden novel
, ties, excelsior, saw mill machinery,
office fixtures and furniture, sand
paper, a quartz mill, tannery,
three box factories, paper mill,
granite stone works, two flour mills,
two breweries, three bottling works,
three machine shops, creamery,
candy factory and numerous small
factories. No city in the country
possesses greater advantages for
the manufacturer than this. Mag
nifcent in the all important matter
of climate, proximity to great
markets, contiguity to certain raw
material supplies, possessing some
very fine schools, with churches of
all denominations, well lighted
streets and many municipal up-to-
date improvements. No city in the
Northwest is more advantageously
located to become great manufac-
turing centre. The population is
now over 16, 900 and is gradually in
creasing.
Manufacturing plants seeking Z
change in location, cannot possibly
do better than come to Wausau.

centre of a network of electric lines.
The system will not stop where it is
today, but will be extended in time
to every city and hamlet in the Wis

Wausau the trade centre of large
area. Steps have already been
taken to push the line northward,
and the prospects are that before

EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES


of education and points with pride
to her excellent schools. There is,
perhaps, no city of its size in the
country which has better or more
modern school buildings than Wan
sau. Taken as a whole Wausau
has natural educational advantages
and expresses a laudable pride in
their possession, showing, as it does,
generous public spirit and good
taste in fostering them. The sys-
TEN here, without doubt, is second
to none in the state, in point of at
tendance, discipline, enthusiastic
work and scholarship-all compli-
mentary to the city, the superin-
tendent and the entire corps of in
structors. We have here the Mara
thon County School of Agriculture
and the Marathon County Training
School for Teachers, which are
ranked among the best educational
institutions in the state.
IN CONCLUSION
Wausau's growth in the past has
been steady. What the future may
lbe, nobody can tell, but all know
that it will be both continuous and
substantial. Every citizen Of Wau-
sau should be proud of the showing
made by the business firms and pro-
feSsions whose history and progress
are recounted in this issue

of the magnitude of the business in

activity of the same. Nearly every

tivity is represented. Diversity is
what is needed in every growing

in all lines. No city in the North

'bAMAS
EASY FOR
BROWN

With the score 2 to In their favor. the
Brown team ran away with the much
touted Alabama university bunch in the
fifth inning OF yesterdays game at An
drews' field The visitors scored four
runs In the eighth and finished the game
with that score.
The excuse that the men from Alabama
may have for defeat Is that they have
played a hard schedule and the men are
worn out from the trip. They did not
look like champions yesterday the in
fielders dropping easy throws and at no
time handling themselves in proper fash
ion. Twelve Brown men came TO bat In
the fifth and when the last one had been
put out the grand stand voiced it's approx
al.
The feature OF the visitors play oc-
Cured In the eighth when by timely hit
ting and good base running they secured
their only tallies OF the game. After two
men had been retired Tiff allowed Han
non his base and Pope arrived at second
by popping up Texas Lacquer, which
Keen booted In schoolboy fashion. Moo
Jen then sent out a timely single which
brought both Harmon and Pope across
the plate. Then p Jones came to the bat
and perceiving that Dennie was playing
In close he landed the sphere with
mighty swing that sent the sphere flying
over the middle fielder's head into the
batting nets for the only home run OF
the game. scoring NooJin ahead OF him.
Tiff could undoubtedly have prevented at
least two OF these tallies, but on account
OF the big lead that the Brunonians had
already gained, was not disposed TO waste
his strength.
Sanders was not as ineffective as might
seem, despite the large score for the
rams were largely due to the miserable
support accorded him by his team mates.
The fifth inning was an especially de-
plorable chapter, three errors, three bases
on balls and six hits contributing to an
almost continuous relay OF Brown play
ers. The errors which were made were
such childish ones that the Alabama men
themselves could not help but laugh at
the ridiculous manner in which they han
died themselves
1t looked as II the champions of the Far
South were going to give the home team
n close rub at the start. for neither team
scored in the initial round. Tiff, the first
man up in the second, however. eyed four
wide ones, took second on Dennies sac
rifice, and went to third when Hamilton
grounded to Foster. When he was walt
ing at third "Henie' Elrod ambled to
first. He promptly went down TO second.
Ward not attempting throw for fear
Tiff would score. Then Elrod purposely
allowed himself TO be caught off second,
and while he was being run down Tiff
slid across the plate.
The Brunonians made II two in the
fourth. Paine smashed one to left, stole
second and came the rest OF the way
around when Tiff doubled. In the next
inning the complexion OF the game was
changed by the ascension OF the Alabama
nine. Hits, errors and bases on balls all
caused a merry-go-round and when the
dust blew away. Keen, Dickinson, Jones.

when by punching hits they scored four
runs and won the game. II was the
first time that the Rochester fans have

trip. Buckenberger attributed the many

and his decisions were seldom questioned.
