FUEL PROBLEM.

The board of water commissioners
held meeting yesterday forenoon for
the purpose of trying to arrange for
fuel to be supplied daily to the pump
ing station. Heretofore the city has
secured shavings from the Stewart Lbr
Co., but the company cannot supply
them from now on and it has been
necessary to look elsewhere. Shavings
are being bought of another concern at
an advance amounting to 81 90 per day
and it was partly to attempt to get a
reduction in price that the commission
met yesterday.
At present the city is paying about
So 90 per day for shavings. There is a
supply of slabs on hand, but these are
used only on special occasions, such as
holidays, etc., when a supply of shaw
ings cannot be had. When slabs are
burned the daily cost amounts to
between 81 and So.
The commissions members do not
feel like taking the responsibility upon
themselves of binding the city to any
long contract for fuel. They feel that
it may be possible soon for the city to
secure electric power to operate its
pumps, and at a cost not exceeding that
paid for now and perhaps not so much.
The commission has been figuring
with Goodwillie Bros. for shavings, but
to get cheap rate it would be neces-
sary for the city to install blower.
spouts, etc, which would cost approx
mately $1,000 and then it would be
necessary to build an addition onto the
pumping station.

COMING MARRIAGE.

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Berger, who reside
at 1888 Merrill Ave, announce the COM
ing marriage of their daughter. Ida, to
Roy James, which will take place on
Wednesday, Aug. 14th, at the home of
the young lady's parents. The cere-
mony will be solemnized by Rev. F. A.
Pease of Marinette, assisted by Rev. F.
II. Brigham, pastor of the local M. E.
church. There will be no attendants
and only relatives of both parties will
witness the ceremony. 1t has been
planned to have the home decorated
with green and white Following the
wedding dinner and congratulations of
friends, the young couple will depart
for Ludington, Mich, for two weeks
visit. Upon their return they will take
up housekeeping at 2l3 Fulton street.
Both are well known young people of
the city. Miss Berger was graduated
from the Wausau high school with the
class of 1904 and since that time has
been teaching school in the country and
city.
MIR. James left Wausau few years
ago to accept position with the Girard
Lumber Co. at Dunbar, Wis. About
six weeks ago he returned and on July
1st entered the employ OF the Barrier &
Stewart Lbr. Co. of this city az assistant
manager.

ment that will be decided on at their
regular meeting this evening. The
Sharpshooters invite all their friends 10

NEARLY COMPLETED.


Work on the repairs 70 the Bfokaw
dam are nearly completed The dam
was partially destroyed about six weeks
ago when the west end was carried
away, not from high water, but from
gradual wear. The rock which weights
the piers sifted out from the bottom,
causing the destruction of three piers
and as many gates. There are in all
about fifteen gates in the dam, so that
when three were cut out, there was a
material weakening of the power. 1t
was necessary to rebuild the piers,
gates, sideways, etc. of new mater
ial, Golfer dam holding back the
water from the damaged portion. Rock
for weighing the piers was secured
handily close to the work, but had to
be blasted with dynamite. The water
being exceptionally low at present. the
work has been progressing under fav-
able circumstances. 1t was only neces-
sary to close down the paper mill while
the Golfer dam was being built.

GONE BUSTED"

1t is probable that the affairs of the
Wisconsin Health and .Accident COM
pany of this city will be wound up
within a short time and the company
suspend all operations. George K.
Beedle, state insurance commissioner,
according to Madison dispatch, has
asked the attorney general to bring ae-
ton against the company for the revo-
cation OF its charter on the ground that
it is insolvent.
In an examination of the books of
the company the insurance commits
sioner found that the assets were
$773.S2 and the liabilities 81 ,345. 20.
There is also an unsatished Judgment
of $4S5 ageipst the company. 1t is said
that the judgment was obtained through
an oversight of the secretary, G. G.
Cole.
At the last term of circuit court the
affairs of the Health and Accident COM
pany were given an airing. DR.. Sauer-
herring brought suit against F. j. Ruep-
ing and K. j. Schmidt. two of the prin-
cipal stockholders, TO recover 81, 900 he
had agreed to pay for a certain consid-
Grafton in the company's affairs and the
moving of the offices to Wausau. The
jury found for DIR. Sauerhering and he
was awarded judgment. 1t is prob
able that the case will be appealed
Fond du Lac Reporter.
Agents of the above company worked
in Wausau and vicinity for consider
able length of time selling tickets,
which were honored by St. Mary's hos
pital, this city, but the sisters of the
hospital were in no way connected with
the above mentioned concern. If we
are not badly mistaken there are still a
number of people in Wausau who are
paying money into the treasury of the
concern as members, or have done so
until recently. When agents of the
association first came here they init
mated that the concarn would soon be
moved to Wausau, but the story APP
peared to be ruse to secure business
in this territory.

BIG UNDERTAKING.

G. b. Pride, of Appletoc, who drew
the plans for the plant of the Wausau
Paper Mills Co., and who is quite well
known in this city, is st present en-
gagged in one of the most stupeL ious
undertakings in the history of the coun-
try. The project is advanced by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
way company and contempIates the
developing of 10000 horse power by
Harvesting 35 miles of the st. Joe river
between North Fork and st. Joe in
northern Idaho, east of Spokane. and
this electrial energy will be utilized in
carrying freight.across the Bitter Root
divide and operating score of sawmills
and plants. The work is 10 be COM
pleted in three years. This will be the
first practical test of the substitution OF
electricity for steam power in this coun-
try, and if it is successful it will be emi-
ployed on the entire line between Mis-
soula, Mont, and the Puget Sound
country, a distance of nearly 600 miles

MUST GRIN AND BEAR 1T.

Last week we made a statement to
the effect that all of the drive wells
would be connected within about ten
days from that time and then good water
would be turned into the system again.
Now we did not Intentionally tell a
less. We got our information from one
connected with the service, but it APP
pears he was guilty of an error in Judge
ment in estimating the progress of the
work. Up to date only four of the six
teen unconnected drive wells have been
connected with the main pipe. An
effort is made to give the people good
water whenever possible During the
night water is drawn from the drive
wells entirely and also during part of
the day. When connection is being
made it is necessary to shut off the
water from this source and connect
again with the old well. 81 wish the
engineer would lose that connection,
we hear people say. We wish so, too,
as regards supplying drinking water.
1t will take all of month, perhaps
more, before all the wells are connected
and not until then may the public look
for good water.
The work of making connections has
been necessarily slow, owing to two
reasons A sufficient force of men
cannot be secured to do the work and
considerable difficulty has been exper-
fenced with water running into and
filling up the trenches. 1t is necessary
to keep steam pump in operation al
most continuously In one hour the
water fills the trenches to a depth of
four feet. This water no doubt is I'll
tered through the bank from the river.
The trenches are disagreeable places
for men to work because of the condi-
tions stated

TO BE MARRIED.

Announcement is made of the COM
ing marriage of Leon Morisette and
Miss Martha Juers, both well known
young people of this city. The event
will be solemnized some time in Sep
TENDER, the exact date not being fixed
upon as yet. The young lady is

ness college and since completing q
commercial course in that institution
she has until recently been employed as
a stenographer in the Office of the Min
neapolis Daily Tribure. The young
man of her choice is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Morisotte, old citizens Of
Wausau, and who some time since
accepted responsible position with the
Oliver Mining Co. at one of that COM
pany's mines near Coleraine, Mimi.
The marriage will take place in this
city at the home of the young ladys
parents, and following the ceremony
they will go to Coleraine to make their
home.

The Wausau Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION held a meeting last evening
which was the best attended of any for
some time. Members were notified in
advance that Mayor Duncan and Grin
Liljeqvest would be on hand to make a
report of their recent visit to Madison
and Jefferson to investigate conditions
surrounding the market days held regu-
larly in those cities. These gentlemen
made a report of their findings, which
were favorable to establishing regular
market days in Wausau. Accordingly
it was decided to take up the matter OF
inaugurating such movement. Grin
Liljeqvest, c. b. Mayer, M. III. Duncan,
VIM. Gillian and August Lohr were
appointed a committee to visit merch-
ants and acquaint them with the plans
and to arrange details. A time has not
as yet been agreed upon for the first OF
these days, but it was decided that it
should be Monday or Tuesday early
in October.
Every farmer who has anything to
sell can bring it in on that day and re-
ceive cash for it. Merchants will ar

GOVERNOR HERE.

Gov. James d. Davidson and party
of distinguished gentlemen passed
through the city last evening over the
C. M. & St. P. Ry. Those in the party
aside from the governor were, DR.. f. A.
Birge, dean of the college of letters and
science of the university; ex-Mayor A.
A. Dye of Madison, Jacob Afford, Madi-
son Calvert Spensley. Mineral Point,
president of the fish commission board !;
H. B. Smith of Appleton; w. j. Starr
of Eau Claire; j. j. Hogan of La Crosse
and JAS Nevin, superintendent of the
state fish hatcheries.
The party had two extra coaches, one
being the fish commissions distributing
car, Badger. The stay here was short,
but number of people found time to
enter the car and greet the governor
and his friends.
The party was on its way to station
on the Gleason branch of the st. Paul
road called Dunfeld, named in honor
of Hi Dunfield of this city. and which is
the location of the Alta lithia springs.
Supt. Nevin has visited these springs
frequently and considers the place an
ideal one for the location of trout
hatchery. The springs are located well
up toward the source of the Prairie
river, where the water is pure and cold.
Supt Nevin considers this place above
all others, we understand, as location
for hatchery and was enthusiastic
over being able to get the distinguished
party mentioned to accompany him to
Dunfield. Other places have been
visited, notably in jackson county,
which furnishes some very desirable
trout hatchery sites, but none of them
it is said, is the equal of the Lincoln
county location.
The party went as far as Merrill last
evening and today is visiting the coun
try in the vicinity of the Alta springs.
The gentlemen will be away from home
five days and will also visit other streams
in the vicinity of Tonsahswk and Anti
go. The intention is to select the most
desirable place for 3 hatchery to be had,
money for which has been appropriated
by the legislature. Two years ago that
body appropriated S. 900, which the fish
commissioner considered too small TO
warrant any attempt being made to
build and equip 3 hatchery. At the
last session about $4,000 more was
added, so that now the commission is
insured of adequate funds to build some
thing in keeping with the progress of
the great state of Wisconsin We
understand that if the commission de-
cides upon the Dunfeld location that
the hatchery win be placed near the
famous Alta springs and it is likely that
the water of these springs win flow in
to the tanks Of the hatchery, which
means that the fish viii have the best

EXTENSION OF STREET R. R.

At some future meeting of the city
council petition will be presented by
the Wausau Street Railroad Co., asking
for an extension of its franchise privi-
leges, empowering it to build lines OF
railroad on other streets of the city as
follows:
From Third Ave. at the intersection
of Third Ave. and Garfield Ave, west
to the fair grounds park.
East on Scott street from the inter-
section of Third and Scott streets to
Seventh street, and north on Seventh
street to Chicago Ave. and west on Chi
cago Ave. to Sixth street, to connect
with the Third street line, thus forming
loop.
DeKalb streets west to First street, to
connect with car barn of company.
The balance of the petition asks for
the right to erect poles, wires, ETC.,
necessary for operating its line, subject
to the same conditions as imposed in
the franchise granted the Wisconsin
River Traction and Power Co. on June
9th, 1906
AS soon as the petition has been
granted by the council the company
will no doubt begin the work of track
laying, so as to have cars in operation
on the streets named above at as early
date as possible. By these plans cars
will be brought within a blocks distance
of the St. Paul depot and will also run
past the high school, convenience to
the travelling public going to and from
the depot, and for school children in
going to or from the high school in dis
agreeable weather. A text of the petit
ton can be found in another column of
this issue of the Pilot.

Wausau Merchants Decide Give Farmers Opportunity OF
Disposing Of Products on Cash Basis.

range to have outside buyers on hand
to take anything they do not want
themselves, and it may be possible that
an auctioneer will be engaged to auc.
ton off second hand buggies, farm ma
chinery, etc.
Local merchants have found that
they are losing much trade which they
are by right entitled to. For instance,
potato raisers around Kelly are hauling
their potatoes to Hatley, where they re-
ceive cash for them from Chicago buy
ers. Another thing: Cattle buyers go
out into. the country and buy up cattle,
paying the farmer whatever they please.
If the farmer can be educated into COM
ing to the city with his cattle, where
there is competition among local buy
ers, he can get better prices. thus mark
Ell days are beneficial to both merchant
ant and farmer.
At the meeting last night it was also
decided to close business places on the
afternoon of Labor day and also on the
afternoons of Thursday and Friday,
fair time.
