ITS DAYS ENDED.

The old B. G. Plumer mill closed
down Friday noon after run of about
two months and half, during which
time about 100000 feet of logs w5re
cut up. With the closing of the mill
A. Arntsen's lease expires and it is
almost certainty that the old mill will
never again be operated. 1t has passed
into the possession of the Wausau Elec-
trio Co., which company will at some
time in the future utilize the water
power connected Herewith. At the
time the sale was made Mr. Arntsen
was given permission to operate one
more season. The Plumer mill was
built about the year 1874. 1t was pur-
chased by g. g. Plumer in 1863 and was
operated by him until his death about
twenty wears ego, when it was taken in
charge by Geo. Clayton, who operated
il until about ten years ago. Since that
time Mr.. Arntsen has had lease on it.
1t was built originally as water power
mill and ever remained as SUCH 1t had
a narrow escape from destruction by
fire in the early SOS when the Plumer
and Stewart Lumber Co.'S yards were
destroyed and millions of feet of fine
lum ber went up in smoke. The mill in
its day has sawed out vast amount of
lumber, just how much it would be a
hard matter to estimate. LII an early
day it was operated day and night
throughout the summer employed a
great many men and had capacity for
cutting 10000 feet of lumber daily and
10000 shingles. OF late years it has
only been operated during the winter
season and has been stocked largely by
farmers. 1t was in the immeo late
vicinity of this mill that all of the first
mills in Wausau were built. 1t was
splendid site for an enterprise of this
kind, the water power being excellent,
and the slough, with its guard lock,
affording fine facilities for handling
logs. Of the numerous mills built on
the islands and river banks in that
vicinity only one has survived the for
tunes of time-the Alexander Stewart
Lumber Co.'S plant-and even that will
only saw in day time during the sum-
mers hereafter, the shortage of the log
supply making a night crew unneces-

SURRENDERED LICENSE.


Ernst Pagel, the west side saloon
keeper, who las gained unenviable
on several occasions, has de-
cided to quit the saloon business and
retire to other pursuits. Pagel, it will
be remembered, was arrested short
time since for selling liquor to a minor
and convicted, but took an appeal from
the decision. Upon his conviction the
city attorney filed charges against him
with the city council and asked that his
license be revoked. The Thattes was to
be taken up this evening, but Pagel
saved the council the trouble. He
closed up business Saturday night and
yesterday handed his license to the city
clerk with instructions to cancel it..
There is little doubt of what the coun-
ciPs acton would have been, for under
the law Pagel could not expect to
escape. He perhaps acted wisely in
surrendering his license and no doubt
his appeal from the courts decision will
be dropped.

BOY DROWNED.

On Thursday afternoon last, Charles,
the five-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jessie Miner, residing in the old
Parcher mill boarding house, wandered
away from his home and was drowned
The details of the accident are not clear,
for no one witnessed it except a
younger child, aged less than three
years. From what this little tot
was able to tell of the affair,
coupled with supp ositions, it is thought
the little fellow intended to play along
the banks os a creek which flows
through Parcherville. The creek runs
within go or rs feet of the mill boarding
house and at present. is quite high, from
melting snow. 1t empties into the
river near the Wausau Box and Lum-
ber Co.'s plant. 1t is thought the little
fellow got too near the bank and
slipped in. The father heard a scream
aDa half suspecting the truth he rushed
out and saw the other child pointing to
the creek. He ran to the river bank and
momentarily waited until the boys
body re-appeared on the surface when
he made an effort and was successful in
reaching it and bringing it to shore.
He ran to the house with the boy in his
arms and while awaiting the arrival of
a physician who was summoned by
telephone. attempts were made to bring
the boy back to CONSCIOUSNESS by rolling
him over barrel, but the efforts
proved fruitless. The boy was not in
the water very ng-perhaps not over
fifteen minutes-but the water was ice
cold, chilling him to the bones and he
was carried under its surface.
The little fellow was one of the
youngest of large family of children
and as he lay in the home with the
weeping family around him, 1t was
truly a pitiable sight. The father has
been unfortunate in the fact that he
has been somewhat of an invalid for the
past two years, unable to work much
of the time, and has had hard time in
fighting life's battle.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon from the home, the Rev. S. N.
Wilson conducting services.

Several members of the Winnebago
county board visited the city last week
for the purpose of making further in
spection of the county school of agri-
culture. A committee visited our
school in February and at meeting of
the county board held later, reported in
favor of erecting building similar to
the one here The board decided to
build and appropriated $4,000. The
gentlemen here last week came more
for the purpose of inspecting the plan
of construction rather than the work of
the school, that they can intelligently

SPRING--GENTLE SPRING.

The cruel winter is gone at last and
days of snow are past, no more We'll
feel the chilling blast, no more the
clouds will overcast, for spring is hik-
ing hither fast-Pd shed my fiannels if

During the latter part of last week a
flock of robins made their appearance
in Wausau, but their plaintive notes
mornings and evenings have been
rather frosty. They are sure harbin-
gers offspring, though sometimes they
come little ahead of real spring
weather. On Saturday morning last a
thunder storm blew up and it rained
for a short time The accompanying
flashes of lightning seemed odd at this
time of the year. The street brigade
was out in force Friday and Saturday
cleaning the streets of the winters
accumulation of dirt. This work will
greatly assist in allowing the ice to
melt on those streets and drying them
up at an early date, unless we have
more snow and cold weather. A warm
ram at this time would be beneficial.
1t is said that the sleighing in the
country is fairly good and up north
lumbermen are still hauling logs. At
the rate the snow has been going-melt-
ing slowly but gradually, each day
there is not much prospect of spring
freshet of any Importance, though heavy
rains later may change conditions. 1t
is getting almost too late in the season to
expect much more snow or cold
weather Last Thursday was desig-
mated as the vernal equinox, or the
beginning of spring, the sun cross
ing the equator that day. The
sun at present rises at approximately 6
O'Clock and sets at 615, New Orleans
time, making the period of daylight

RETURNED HOME:

MIR. and Mrs. H. C. Head returned
home Wednesday from their western
trip. They left Wausau on Jan. Sd
and visited the principal cities of Cali
fornia as well as points of interest in
New Mexico and Arizona. At jerome,
Ariz., they visited relatives. Mr.. Head
states that slow progress is being made
in rebuilding the city of San Francisco,
on account of labor and other troubles.
The West is prolific of great crops, but
Mr. Head, who is practical agricul-
turist, says that be would take chances
on farm in this country at any time
in preference to farm in the West.
The car shortage which is troubling
shippers all over the country, is telt in
that part of the lanG, too. Fruit grow

sands of bushels of fruit will decay be-

ing home, MIR. and Mrs. Head went
through the scenic Grand Canon. Mr..
Head states that in going one mile
through the canon they traversed seven
miles and the trip is too strenuous for
an ordinary person to take. They had
a very pleasant trip though they did
not have time to cover all the territory

The plan of uniting the two bands
has been under consideration for some
time. The field was hardly large
enough to support two bands, as has
been proven on more than one occasion
in the past. By uniting the two il. will
give the one musical organization con-
troll of the field and having more mater
ial in its composition will make better
organization than was possible in either
of the old organizations.

a controlling device for gas burners
which operates to shut off the flow of
gas when the gas fame is extinguish-
ed. AS shown in the accompanying
engraving, the device comprises a
standard secured to the gas bracket
and supporting a bell shaped Their
mostat directly over the burner. The
standard also carries spring arm, to
which bell crank lever is pivoted.
One arm of the lever is very short and
is connected by hooked wire to the
lower edge Of the thermostat. The
other arm is very long and extends
downward to the gas bracket. In ad-
dition to the usual valve, the fixture
is provided with an auxiliary valve of
the poppet type. The stem of this
valve rests on hinged plate, and the
latter carries an arm which engages
the longer arm of the bell crank lever.
Normally the plate is tilted down
ward, permitting the valve to remain
closed. When lighting the gas the
main valve is first opened, and then
the hinged plate is raised to open the
auxiliary valve. The plate is held up

Enterprise, which will connect or
rather join the Fl. & d. at Evarts,
its present western terminus, on the
banks of the muddy Missouri. The
Missouri river will be spanned by an
iron bridge 1850 feet long and 60
feet above the water flow of the
river. From Evarts, the road will
run northeasterly thru the northern
counties of South Dakota. and the
southwest counties of North Dakota

Evarts in South Dakota has been
pushed earnestly during the past
summer, and we hear that thirty or

already graded, tied" and now
await the laying OF the steel rails.
The road to Butte, Montana, will be
finished and in running order by
January 1st, 1908, and from thence

Governors Plurality Definitely Figured
Out as 72.518.

The official canvass Of the returns
of the recent election in this state
was completed Dec. 81. Gov. John
sons plurality is 72,518, his total
vote being 168. 4SO as against Sc. 1852
cast for Cole.
The biggest vote and the honor of
leading both tickets goes to Attorney
General Young. His plurality is
84,754.
The smallest plurality was that on
the lieutenant governorship. A. o.
Eberhart, the Republican candidate,
pulled thru by 40,938. Other plur-
alities were as follows: Julius
Schmahl for secretary of state, 49,
$50; S. G. Iverson for auditor,
81 ,099; C. E. Dinehart for treasurer,
81, 296; C. A. Pidgeon for clerk of
the supreme court, So, 1853; G. F.
Staples for railroad commissioner,
81 1866.
The good roads amendment to the
constitution failed by the narrow
margin of 800 votes. The other two
amendments prevailed, the wide
open tax amendment by a vote of
156,051 to 1852 and the so-called
peddler's amendment by vote of
100, 1897 to "a ,O94.
The total number of male votes
cast was 284 1866, and it is on this
that the passage of the constitu-
tional amendments is based. To
carry they had to have more than
half the above number, and in the
case of the good roads amendment
there is a deficit, the voting standing
al $40 in favor and 1922 against.
The total number of male voters
registered and entitled to vote was
347, 433.

PASSING OF LAND MARKS.

County Surveyor Sterk of Lyon
county, in communication to the
Minneota Mascot, has shown the
Importance of preserving the land
marks that remain in that county,
and replacing those which have been
obliterated either by decay or re-
moval. He asserts that most of the
corner stakes in the county were set
nearly fifty years ago, and as they
comprised wooden stakes set in small
earthen mounds, they have naturally
rotted away, or been effaced by
ruad building or other means, until
but few remain. Where these can
not be found, the only recourse is to
the memory of old settlers who may
identify locations by trees that were
set out, or fence corners. But as
both stakes and old settlers are
passing away, it is important to
substantially and permanently rem
edy the serious defect, as provided
by statute.
The law provides that the work
shall be ordered done by the county
commissioners. Whenever it shall
be made to appear to the satisfac-
ton of the board that the corners
established by the United States in
its survey of the public lands to
mark section, quarter section, and
meander corners have been destroyed
or are becoming obscure. it may
employ competent surveyor to re-
locate and re-establish the same.
Such replacement of landmarks
has been thus made by most of the
progressive counties of the state.
