S3,OOo,OOO ON DEPOSIT.

At the close of business, January 26,
there was deposited in the three banks
of this city total of SO, 1888, 7S2 70-a
nice lump sum, but only drop il the
bucket when compared with the wealth
of John d., the man who sells kerosene
for a living and whose wife says they
can't afford to eat oysters. Three and
one-third millions of dollars is large
sum and it is doubtful if another county
in the state, with a population nearly
equal, can make a favorable compari-
son. 1t is more money than was ever
deposited in our banks, and represents
the thrift of our people and the indus
trial wealth of the county. To the
above figures must also be added S52,-
1873 so for the Bank of Marathon City
and the amounts on deposit in the
Bank of Edgar, the Bank of Athens and
the Mosinee state bank. The figures
for the latter three we have been una

each, which we think is below the
actual amount, we would have over
So, 500, 900 as total of deposits. A very
large percentage of these deposits are
made by the farmers. Indeed the per-

they have ever before carried The

MERCHANTS MEET.

The Wausau Merchants association
sat down to a banquet in Fraternity
hall last evening, there being about
fifty members present. The supper
was served by the ladies of the Nj. E.
church. Following the banquet bust
ness meeting was held at which many
matters pertaining to the association
were talked over
1t was reported that some Roadway is
being made in getting merchants to
close their stores evenings. This move
has been greatly strengthened of late
by the acquisition of twenty-nine new
members, making the total membership
now about sixty-five. Greater interest
in the work is also being aroused and it
is hoped to have better attendance at
meetings in tie future.
No action was taken regarding re-
quest to be made that the G. & N.
w. Ry. Co. change its train service so
as to give residents of the eastern part
of the county an opportunity of coming
to Wausau and making purchases and
getting home in reasonable time. 1t is
felt that the road is too crowded with
business at present, but that the change
will come in time.

MANY BUTTERMEN HERE.

From the present outlook it appears
that the Wisconsin Buttermakers' con-
vention, which will begin its sessions
this evening, will be a very successful
affair. Members of the association are
arriving on every train and all the
hotels are crowded The butter exhibit
will be fully as large as expected. Up
to noon today l2l firkins had arrived
and about 40 more were expected.
This exhibit can be seen on the upper
floor of the old Continental store,
While the machinery and dairy supply
exhibit is on the lower floor. The COW
mixer is one of the most interesting
features of this exhibit. On Wednes-
day and Thursday the public will have
an opportunity to see tbs machine in
operation. Six cows will be brought
up from TIE asylum and MIXED by the
machine. The sale of creamery butter
on Thursday should attract all our mer-
chants and result in filling up our
stores with good butter.
The convention has been well adver-
tised throughout the county and ought
to attract many of our farmers.
There are features on the pro
gram, too, which ought to interest
the city people. The sessions will
be in Elks' hall and open tonight.
Tomorrow evening banquet will
be rendered the visitors and one of
the local church societies will wait
on tables. The public is cordially
invited to attend these meetings and
view the exhibits.

WISCONSIN VALLEY TRUST CO.
New Organization Which is Become One Of the Lasting
and Beneficial Institutions of Our Cy.Its Organizers
Messrs Kreutzer, Bird and Rosenberg.

guardianship or executorship, with re-
sulting loss to an estate which oft-times
can little afford to stand it. 1t is not
often that such trustees are intention
ally dishonest, but it is very often the
fact that such trustees, by reason of in
ability to manage strange business,
do fail to take such care of the property
as one versed in the matters could do,
and there often results such loss which
is not and cannot be covered by fidel-
ity or other bond in such cases. The
trust company makes it business to
attend to just matters. That being its
business, it certainly can do it better
than anyone else. Ii has the experience
right in that line. This company is or
gained by persons who have knowl-
edge and experience of just such mat.
tiers.
1t is safe to assume that this company
will grow and become one of the strong
financial institutions of this city, when
one stops to think of the origin of the
largest institutions of the country, it is
seen that they are just like this The
company is starting out with such cap
ital stock as in the experience of the
members is sufficient for the present
needs. If the need for more develops
it will no doubt be furnished, and the
company given such growth as its bust
ness warrants, just as other financial
institutions have done. We feel that
this company is filing a long felt want
right in this community. 1t is not an
experiment, but a tried business venture
which has the approval of the conserva-
tive business men everywhere. We are
glad to see that Wausau is taking its
place among the other progressive tinan-
cial cities of the country in this respect.
The men who are at the head of the
Wisconsin Valley Trust company, are
well known in every part of our county.
They have built up regulations for hon.
esty and integrity, in their long legal
practice and business dealings with
their fellow men in this city, which has
brought to them the confidence of the
people. They are counted as our most
careful and conservative counsellors
This combined with their ability as
tinanciers and their thorough acquaint-
ance with the laws, eminently qualify
them to successfully carry on the opera
tons of the trust company. They came
to Wausau and entered into the prac-
tice of their profession nearly the same
time-about twenty years ago They
have each taken an active interest in
the upbuilding of our city and county.
A. L. Kreutzer, president of the COM
pany, has served two years on the
county board; was district attorney for
four years, and served the people of the
twenty-fifth senatorial district as state
senator, for eight years. He is also
president of the bank of Edgar and the
organizer of that institution.
M B. Rosenberg. vice-president, is
now serving the city for the fourth year
as city attorney.
G. B. Bird, secretary and treasurer,
has been city attorney for two years
and is at the present time member of
the county board of Marathon county.

BIG MILL IN ASHLAND.

Announcement was made Saturday
that the John Schroeder Lumber COM
panyof Milwaukee had signed contract
with ID. j Murray company of Wausau
to build mill in Ashland at the close OF
the coming season with 10000, 900 feet
capacity. The present mill, which has
only about half that capacity, will be
dismantled
The company will also, under this
contract, build an extensive plant for
saving Oregan and Washington pine to
be reshipped to eastern points.
The company announces that it has
pine in Minnesota to be RATED to Ash
land and also tracts near Ontonagon
that are sufficient to run it night and day
for fifteen wears.

MARSHFIELD MEN HERE.

Adam Paulus, j. G. Marsh, E. NJ
Deming, G. b. Edwards and j. z.
Hume, all of Marshfield, were in the city
Thursday and Friday for the purpose
of interviewing our people on the sub
ject of division of the county and crea-
ton of new county, making Marsh
field the county seat. The plan is as
old as the first surname mentioned
above. 1t has often been talked of,
sometimes been brought before legisla-
tive bodies, but always failed. There is
hardly doubt but what it will be
brought before the legislature this
winter and just what the outcome will
be cannot be foretold. The delegation
above named has also visited some
other towns located in counties from
which it is proposed to take territory.
They reported that the plan had been
favorably received wherever presented,
but somehow there are other facts
which do not wholly bear out their
statement. The Neilsville Times last
week speaks of the plan in very uncom-
mendable terms and among other
things says:
"This new county is the limit, any
way, in matter of shape. 1t would
take the two north tiers of towns from
Clark, three tiers from inc west end of
Marathon, and then all the north
western portion of Wood. When they
get drought with it, the new county will
look like huge Ratchet, and in lieu of
a better name why not call it Hammer
county, which name would be sagges-
tive and appropriate.
1t is claimed that the western resi-
dents of Marathon county favor
the division of our territory, and
yet at the last meeting of the county
board the following resolution was
passed and every member from that
section joined with the other members
in making the vote for it unanimous
Whereas, there have been newspaper
reports that during the present session
of the legislature a bill will be intro
duced to form new county and that
part of the territory of said proposed
new county is to be taken from terri
tory now part of Marathon county, be
it
Reso'Ued, tnat we the county board of
supervisors, strongly disapprove of any
action of the legislature that will in any
way char ge the present boundaries of
this coGaty. Further be it
10 Ill
copies of this resolution to the state SEN
ator from this district and to assembly
men from Marathon county.
State Senator Marsh is also opposed
to it.
The gentlemen above mentioned in
terviewed a number of our business
men, but did not get very favorable
encouragement. If they expect to get
new county set off at some time they
certainly are persuing the right course
in one respect at least. They say they
do not intend to stir up any sectional
feeling over the matter and will not
cause any fight to be made over the
scheme. These are words well spoken
and may gain them more friends favor
able to the plan than if their course
should be otherwise.
