PAPER INDUSTRY
Wisconsin will Soon Rival
the World in Paper
NJ taking.

The great paper manufactur-
ing industry of Wisconsin does,
or soon will, rival the world in
It's product, There are almost
all Kinds of paper made, lnclud-
ing bond, book, both fat and
glazed, used for fine Illustration
work, news. straw. tissue and
writing, for fine and ordinary
envelope paper, and such as used
for the railroad mileage and
made into lace for cigar boxes,
carloads of printed Japanese
napkins and the fruit wrappers
for California, Shiploads are
sent to Japan and trainloads to
all parts of the west. Several
trainloads of paper steam out OF
the Fox River valley every even
i1sg.
Many of the mills prepare
tgleir own rags, but the wood
pulp or suiphite outfit is con-
rected with only a few mills.
Many of those wood pulp plants
are separate enterprises which
dispose Of their product to all
the paper mills. Thousands of
carloads Of wood pulp wood are
cat in the northern forests each
winter, aud large RATS brought
over the lakes from Canada each
season aud loaded on the cars at
Green Bay for distribution to
the mills.
The paper industryis confined
to two principal regions. the Fox
river valley and the Wisconsin,
though there are large mills on
tie Wolf at Shawano, on the
OcontO at Oconto Falls, and
some on the Menominee river at
Marinette, and at Niagara. At
the latter place there is fall OF
seventy-two feet at the natural
fall and immence mills. The
Fox river valley mills were the
beginning of the industry in'the
west and are the finest mills,
making the highest grade OF
paper. A lcng time ago Capt.
Rich oud had a straw mill at
the lower dam at Appleton, but
the real beginning of the bust
ness was at Neenah when DR..
Robinson and others rented the
old red sawmilI of Henry Sherry
aud made it over into a paper
mill and got rich quick. Then
former Congressman Charles
Clark had laid up $4,000 from the
war and borrowed $4,000 more
and with j. A. Kimberly, F. A.
Stlattuck and Hayilla Babcock,
each put in $4,000, and the be.
ginning was made. This was a
quarter of a century ago. They
are now the largest producers
OF paper in the world, and the
starters of all the rest. The
main Office is at Neenah, but
theirs mills are everywhere down
the river at Niagara, Colo.
Harry Frambach came over tc
Menasha broke, twenty years
ago and rented the old red MILL
and withia year returned te
Kaukauna with few thousand
to begin his career. Some time
after he took a check for $3.50,
600 for his interest in one of his
mills. George A. Whiting was
working behind a machine few
years ago, and now has three Of
the finest paper mills in Wiscon
sin, and lives in a stone palace
Forest Republican.

Mr.. James Garrett has been
selected as a member of the
State Democratic Campaigne
Committee, filling the place of
Judge Robins, who retired from
that position some time ago. The
selection of Mr.. Garrett is no
mistake. He is a Democrat who
desires victory, and has the abil-
ity, sagacity and unyielding de-
termination that never fails to
bring desired results. We are
proud of the confidence and rec
ognition manifested in one of our
most progressive young men, and
feel certain that he will measure
up to the full requirements and
expectation of those who selected
him, to all the aspirants and the
party in general. He will add
strength and bouyancy to the

without passing over the Macad-

Is it within the limits of reason
that the majority part OF the,
Court, that part that knocked
out the Commercial Club, still
flaunts defiance, and holds the
club to be such a menace to the
public good as to justly them in
walling in the Court House.
This position reminds us Of econ
omy recklessly applied. The bat
tie cry of the people-lift us out
of the mud and mire-help us
build substantial roads, has been
answered with an order to blot
out the road tax.

The people on the Greensburg
road are now trying to get to-
gether and build a mile of pike,
beginning at the corporate limits
of Columbia. The plan under
consideration is to agree for ev-

road on the proposed pike. 1t is
highly probable that the move
will succeed, and if so, it will
start the ball to rolling.

Did you ever think that the
court house would be walled in?
Have you ever counted the cost?
Do you know any reason why it
should be done? The Columbia
Commercial Club did not present
the plan, and did not ask for its
building.
The Adair County news., 1907-04-17

Many of the people will not get
to visit the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. Many will never see the
old fort with it's massive walls,
but every citizen in Adair ought
to come to Columbia and bring
his wife, sons and daughters to
view the court house with it's
strong wall of stone around it,
and adorned with an iron fence
on top when it is built.

The Fiscal Court at its last
meeting, knocked out the road
tax, refused to build a bridge at

no provisions for lettering the

of the Commercial Club, but it
favored a stone wall built around
the Court House.

If there are any reasons why
the Court House should be walled

If there has been a demand for
the spending of the public

The people of this county want

Everybody in Adair county
ought to make arrangements to
visit Columbia when that wall is
built. 1t will probably be finish

WE'D, APRIL II, 1907.

Where are we drifting? What
will be the condition of our coun-
ty a few years hence? What will
become of the spirit of enter
prise that has gained footing in
this part of the country within
the last few years, and gave us
an unprecedented growth and de-
velopment in town and county?
Where is the person who can see
bright future for this section
unless progressive steps are
taken? In justice to the powers
that be, in truth and in earnest,
there ought to be some plan de-
vised by which the building OF
good roads should begin this
year. The recent session of the
court evidently does not hold
hope to those who want better
roads; it only tickles the fancy
and satisfies the ambition of the
few who are content to live un-
der present circumstances. The
Magistrates alone are responsible
for this; they are bound to real
ize the necessity of better roads,;
they cannot fail to see that their
action does not meet the require
ments; that it is suicidal to take
a backward step. Tn ey are
bound to know that the public
roads of this county are the most
formidable distractions against
thrift and enterprise. While
some of them may feel gratified
over the defeat of the plans sub
mitted by the Commercial Club;
while they doubtless pride in re-
ducing the tax, yet, by and by,
the mistake will finally show up
with compound interest. 1t is
to be regretted that some men,
bers of the Court could not rise
above their prejudices, prove
broader than their districts, and
give to Adair county the first
thrilling impulse of substantial
roads-inaugurate a system that,
in the course of a few years,
would have secured many miles
of solid pike. The Club labored
hard to devise plans with no 9TH
er motive than to best serve the
entire county. 1t had no
thought nor desire to dictate to
the Court, and no member of it
was asked or expected to do any
thing to advance the proposition
not consistent with an open, hon
est presentation of the plans and
purpose. The Fiscal Court of
this county can not dodge the re-
sponsibility by accusing the club
of unfair motives; it can not
satisfy the people by wiping out
the tax and leaving the roads
almost impossible. The Court in
Justice to the reputation of Adair
county, in the face of most urgent
needs, and in obedience to the
desire of the people, ought to
reconvene itself, take up the
road question alone, and estab-
lish a system that will add to the
assets of this county each year.
If we could build 6 miles year,
10 years would soon pass and
hand over to the people 60 miles
of macadam road. The Club
will stand hands off, or give its
assistance. Read the proposition
submitted by the Club. Figure
out what it would accomplish in
10 years, then figure it for 20

PRUssIANs EAT DOGS.

So far this year over 2,O0O dogs have been slaughtered for food in Pr,,s. sin. Probably ono could not cat dog from choice any more than one could be cannibnl from choice. But many Indian tribes have eaten dog for gen. crations. The Esquimaux cat dogs when they can catch them. Artic ex. plorers from all countries, when look. ing for the Pole, have eaten dog with out compunction, and on several oc. casions have eaten their comrades of human kind. Dog meat is sweet, like mule mcnt, and the best part of it is not next to the bone, but that lying next to the skin, which must he baked to crisp.
 Tho able general, Chief Joseph of the Ncz Perccs, prefers dog to all other meats. His second choice always was grizzly and his third Rocky Mountain sheep. When Wattiskowkow of the Umatillas, heard of the drowning of enormous qantities of dogs impounded in New York he wcpt. Whom the Una. tillas have' n great feast dog is the piece de resistance.

WANT COUNTY SEAT MOVED TO
 MAYER
tFrom Tuesday i- Daily)

William Dean, the Mayer mining man, spent yesterday here on mining business. and will leave for home to- dny. Heels enthusiastic over the great development of his section during the past year and is confident that some very rich bodies of ore will bc uncov. cred in many of the mining claims now being opened.
 |" Besides the Blue Bell" said Dean, "which is our largest producer, rich ore is being taken from other properties in our vicinity, and [ am confident that this year will be the most prosperous we have ever had. The people of Prescott do not realize the importance of Mayer as n business cen ter. They should visit the town and see how it is growing. the population almost doubling each succeeding year. | believe that you will see it made the county seat before many years. In fact. some of our Democratic polite. ians suggested the idea that we should have court house here, during the last campaign. They were joking, when they did it. but they may be surprised later, for it is destined to be a great business center. Treasurer licrndon informed us that he would favor the moving of the county seat to our town when hc visited the place during the campaign. and SO did one or two of the others, but I pity them when they face their constituents the second time, if they do not live up to the prom. iscs.''
 Mr. Dean has been engaged in min ing in the Mayer country for the past twelve years. He had charge of the development of the Blue Bell in the capacity of foreman for some time. and was also manager of the Henri ctta during n large proportion of i's producing period.

To. gcthcr with Gus IIcyman, Major Doran recently secured bond on the lands and mines of the Lynx Creek Gold and Land company, located on Lower Lynx Creek. about eight miles east of this city. Speaking of this property, the Major said:
 'Wc have n bond on 1000 acres of patented land and twenty.two mining claims, and we intend to commence the installation of our machinery as soon as the coming session of the Legisla. turc closes. There Is large reservoir on the ground. This will ersDlc us to work floating dredge for at least nine months in the year and there is enough water to work the ground in an cxtcn- sivo way by the hydraulic method at least six months in the year.

FIND PISTOL NEAR WHERE AN
 DIRE DIED.
(From Sundays DailyD

Was Louis Andre armed when he received his death wound on New Year $ cvg at the hands of Earl Sparks, or was the pistol found in the snow placed there since inc fatal shoot ingf"
 This K the question that number of Prescott Sherlock Holmes were ask ing themselves yesterday afternoon, when if became known that J. Y. Walker, n laborcr, while standing in front of the Palace saloon yesterday afternoon, nt . o'clock, near the spot where Andre fell, after being shot in the forehead, saw n pistol sticking up out of the snow in the gutter, and dig ging it out. turned it over later to the sheriff 's office.
 The pistol is described ns being n doublc.action, 32-calibcr revolver. It was found in the gutter at the edge of the sidewalk, not ten feet from where Andre lay as he gasped his last after receiving the fatal wound. The finding of the pistol gives rise to an opportunity for the Sheriff E of. flee, the attorneys for Sparks, and the amateur detectives to unravcl the ques. ton of whether Andre, in his death struggles, flung the gun into the gut. ter. where it was soon buried beneath the heavy snow that was falling on the night of the killing, or whether some ardent friend of the accused man, bent on assisting him, placed the pistol there since the fatal night, to give rise to the speculation that possibly Andre was armed when he met Sparks
 The Shcriir's office, it is understood. IS not inclined to attach any great i'm. portance 10 the finding of the gun as having any material bearing on the case.
 Leroy Anderson, attorney for Sparks, when made acquainted with the news of the finding of the pistol, said:
 "The finding of the gun merely adds to, and substantiatcs our theory of the killing"
 Attorney Anderson, naturally, did not care to state for publication, what the line of defense would be.

C. II. Nofcr, one of the prominent wool growers of northern Arizona, ar. rived here yesterday, from Flags,aG, on route to the southern part of the county, where hc has several large ilocks of sheep grazing on the desert ranges, Speaking of the outlook for the sheep industry, Mir. Nofcr saidi
 "I believe that we are entering a year that will prove to bo the most prosperous in the sheep business in the history of the Territory. These winter storms insure good food on the ranges of the north in the spring and summer months and with the present prices of mutton there is no reason why the wool grower should not look forward to prosperous year. On the desert ranges south of here there is at least 100000 more sheep than there were last year, and the stock driven in from other places is of n good class

New York has two Adamlcss Edans. and each by analogy has proved the other to he n dismal failure. Ono |. the Hotel Martha Washington and the other is what is known as the "Wod- ows' Settlement" in the upper arm of the lake in Central Park. For n long time rumors of discord, if not actual war, have reached the outside world from the sacred precincts of the hotel whose threshold few men dare to cross. The trouble reached a climax one day last week, when n stockholdcrs' meet. ing wns called to consider the fact that, whatever it may have been as theory, the hotel has SO far proved n proitless venture. Then arose divers guests, who nrc stockholders to tho ex. tent of not less than ono whole share of stock, and declared thnt it was no wonder. Such management would ruin anything, they complained. To say nothing of the abusurdity of refusing to serve wine jelly with the Christ. mas dinner, just because it was n tenn. pcrance hotel. It was positive shame 10 charge for rolls when that is nll one really needs for breakfast, and the head waitress was altogether too fat to be artistic, even if she was efficient. Then, too, 1t was simply impossible to
 
 get-well, certain interesting novels from the hotel library. But when if came to lady bell.hops, they were the limit There was no such thing as in ducing one of them to do a little thing like tightening few strings or but toning n waist up the back without tip. Up in his institution in Central Park, Director smith last summer had a colony of l76 domestic ducks and only l2 drakes. To be sure. the ducks don't wear waists that button up the back, and their creature comforts arc looked after by nero man. But since they were put into limited winter quar. ters, short time ago, there have been single combats and bottles royal, which the old keeper declared to be nothing moro nor less than n fight for n hus. band. so couple of dozen more drakos were transferred 10 the lake. and the trouble has entirely disap. pcared.
