BIDS ADVERTISED FOR.

The board of public works has adver-
tised for bids for different paving ma
terials to be used in repaving Third
Street, in this issue Of the PIL0T.
The paving will include approx
mately 9,400 square yards and bids
will be received up to noon of April Sd.
In this way it is thought saving can
be made to taxpayers affected The
firms which have offered prices on
different materials, it is thought, have
placed those prices little high so that
they can scale down when it comes to
a bia. The price of creosoted blocks is
given at over So 90 per square yard, but
it is thought bid will be put in for a
great deal less than this amount; like
wise with other materials. The city is
not bound by any agreement to let any
contract to the lowest bidder, but can
then choose any material thought best
and asked for by majority of the prop
erty owners affected
1t is thought the whole matter will be
settled soon, so that material can be
ordered in time to begin work IN the
early summer

ROAD SOON COMPLETED.

Il is expected that all of the rails on
the Northwestern's branch line from
Marathon City to RIB Falls will be laid
within very short time. The track
will be in such shape that cars can be
run over it immediately, but in the
spring it will be thoroughly ballasted,
for it is the intention to make it a
permanent line There has been con-
siderable talk about the company's
intentions of ultimately extending the
line to Athens, and the people of that
village and Rib Falls are hopeful that
such will be the case. 1t is only about
eight miles between the two villages.
By slight deviation to the south, from
straight line, the village of Poniatow-
ski would also have railroad connec-
tions. The village of Rib Falls will be
of some importance in the years to
come. The Wausau Lbr. Co. has
enough timber in sight to operate its
mill for great many years, and there
is a great deal more in that vicinity
that is within easy hauling of the mill,
but not owned by the company. Efforts
are also being made for the establish
ment of a paper mill or factory of some
kind. The suificiency of water power
for the operation of IA paper mill was AT
first doubted, hut this has since been
definitely settled The building of the
railroad to that will ge will also give
the farmers of the surrounding country
good market for their prodUce and
be of great cons euencc in nI.uy way :
AS for Athens, there is more shipping
done out of that village than from any
other point in The county. outside of
Wausau Everyone acquainted with
conditions believe hat if the people of
the village make an effort to get he
road in there that the cflici.ils nf The
Northwestern will SCI, the wisdom of
making the extension and viii buiid, |

FRANCHISE GRANTED.

The Wausau Street Railway Co. has
secured franchise from the village of
ochofleld granting it the right to build
and maintain a street and interurban
railway, upon the main street of the
village. known as the Wausau and Ste
yens Point road The life of the fran
chise covers thirty years.
Its terms call for the track to be laid
IN the middle of the street and that por-
ton OF the street to be kept in repair
by the company. 1t is stipulated that
The power for operating such line shall
be electricity or any other mechanical
power except steam 1t is also made
part OF the agreement that if directed
by the village board and its president,
the company shall allow the use of its
tracks TO any other railway company
desiring to enter the village, upon such
company paying a proportiopate share
of the cost of construction of the Wau-
sau Street Railway Co.'S tracks and
maintenance of same All poles are to
be trimmed and painted. If the com
pany desires at any time to cross the
Eau Claire river with its tracks, it is
required to build another bridge for its
own use east of the wagon bridge In
the running of cars time schedule
must be observed as near as practicable
Cars must be run atintervals of not less
than one hour. Cars shall be so oper-
ated that one car shall start at the vii
lage Of Schofield for the city of Wau-
sau. and one car shall start at the city
OF Wausau for the village of Schofield
every week day morning, early enough
to enable it 70 reach the city or village
OF its destination not later than six
O'Clock and forty-hye minutes a. M"
1t is also provided that the fare for one
continuous ride shall not exceed ten
cents, and that transfers therefor be
granted Also that the public may buy
twelve tickets for the price of 81 90
Jhe company is bound by the terms of
the franchise to begin work within six
months from the passage and accept
ance Of the franchise and to have cars
in operation within one year following,
unless prevented by Injunction or court
order, in which case time will be ex
tended, providing the company uses
diligence to dissolve such Injunction or
court order. The company must, with
in thirty days from the passage of the
franchise, file with the village clerk its
acceptance of the same, to make it
legal
The street railway company graded
its road bed to the village limits last
fall. A large amount of the material
which will be used in the construction
of the track has been hauled and piled |
along the route. 1t is quite probable |
that when work is begun in the spring
on construction work here in the city, |
that crew will also be put on the
Schofield extension at the same time,
so that it will be completed by early
June, when it is expected that the city
line will be in operation.

THEY LIKE OUR SCHOOL.

Last month a special committee o.
the Winnebago county board visited
Wansau for the purpose of looking over
our agricultural school, with view oi
getting information, it being the pur.
pose of Winnebago county to build a
like institution. Here follows part OF
the report made by the committee to
the county board:
Your committee visited the Mara
thon County Agricultural school at
Wausau on February IA This school
was selected as being the school that
was founded under conditions most
nearly conforming to those existing in
this county. The school is established
in brick building, AZ by So, two stories
high, with high basement. The en-
tire second floor of this building is used
for county training school, leaving
the first floor and the basement to be
used for the agricultural school A
wing in the rear accommodates boiler
room, a blacksmith shop and conserva-
tory.
Without going into detail, we vis-
tied and inspected the library, which is
excellent; the domestic science depart
ment; the manual training department
and the laboratory of agricultural
science. Besides the departments
named, each instructor teaches some
one of the academic branches of the
common school course.
The work that was being done in
this school impressed the members of
your committee as being practical,
adapted to the ability of the students,
thorough, and of such nature as to
afford the most excellent mental dis
cipline to the boys and girls attending
The course of study in all departments
has been rlanhed with great deal of
care and everything has a bearing on
some phase of work on the farm, thus
the boys and girls are educated toward
the farm instead of away from it.
we found the students to be com
posed of all classes from the rich mans
son who is being given . common
sense education, to the poor BOY who is
working his way through the school.
The middle class predominates. The
same is true of the girls, though many
of the Wausau girls are Students
''The attitude of the people in Mara
thon county has changed as the work
ing of the school became better known
and the results were shown up, from
one of utter Indifference and in many
cases of actual antagonism to condi-
tion where now the large majority of
the people of the county would consider
it calamity if they were 10 be de-
prived of the school.
'tThe enrolment of the school is now
near seventy and the principal in
formed us that they had enough bona
hde applications for admission to bring
the enrolment up to 100 next year
This is about as large number as
three teachers can handle to the best
advantage. We did not get the ages
of the students at Marathon county
school but at the Dunn county school
the ages of the boys averaged 193 years
and that of the girls about seventeen
years. This is about the same as those
at the school visited

The only way to completely cure

Used in this way, Mi-o-na excites the

to digest it.
