COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.
DANCY.


w. II. Hammond with a party of
gentlemen from Peoria, Ill.,, was in
this village and vicinity a couple of
days the past week looking over the
Dancy drainage district possibilities
Mr.. Hammond is reputed as being one
of Peoria's millionaires-his money hav-
ing been made chiefly through reclaim
ing and putting under cultivation
marsh lands. He is now the owner of
5000 acres in Buena Vista drainage dis
trict. His method has always been,
when possible, to buy up the whole
marsh-and thus do away with the OBJ
jectors, which means saving of time
and money in courts. He then drains
and puts the land under cultivation,
lays out and builds public highways,
erects all the necessary farm buildings
and sells to the actual settler. He has
the soil carefully analyzed and what
ever ingredients are lacking to the sue
cesstul raising of crops he supplies
them, and lands that are purchased at
from S5 90 to $1,000 per acre find ready
sale at SIS 90 per acre and upwards. At
the present time he is figuring on pur
chasing large tract of marsh near the
Sacramento river, California, which he
expects to put under cultivation and
sell at handsome figure. These
gentlemen all expressed themselves
pleased with the Dancy drainage propo-
sition and thinks this section of country
has a very bright future. While here
they were guests of g. G. Knoller.
V. Brooks, of Stevens Point, has
again become a Dancy resident. On
the 1st inst. he took charge of the saloon
which had been run by IL. b. Hanson
the past year, having bought out Mr.
Hanson's interests. Mr.. Brooks has
many friends all through this section
who will welcome him back. He has
also rented the knoller potato house
and expects to deal in that commodity
the coming fall.
The past week ID. H. Corlett, of Eau
Pleine sold one of his farms in that
town to Chris Tufte, of Stevens Point.
Mr. Tufte was resident of Eau Pleine
for several years-up TO a short time
when he disposed OF his farm and moved
to Stevens Po.at.
Geo. Marehel, who is employed in one
of the paper mills at Rhinelander, spent
the Fourth at his home near this place.
Ed. Beardsley and family, of Rhine
lander, are visiting the formers mother.
Mrs. Robert Wheaton of this place.
Charles Altenburg, wife and children
are visiting Mrs. Altenburg's sister,
Mrs. Geo Livernash at Necedah.
Haying has begun through this sec
ton and in some eases is reported very
light-especially the old seeding
Berry Cleveland, our popular depot
agent, visited at his home in Grand

A DASTARDLY TRICK.

During the Fourth of July, some mis-
creants fired bullets into the telephone
cable which passes up Seventh street,
and thereby twenty-five wires were cut
off and that many telephones put out
of service. The shooting was done
near Schield's store. Manager Craw-
ford, of the Wausau Telephone CO.,
was busy Sunday and Monday with his
men repairing the damages. The per-
son or persons guilty of perpetrating
such contemplate trick are not safe
outside of prison walls. Nothing will
be ieft undone to find out who were the
guilty ones and, at present. it looks as
if the officers were on the right track
to land them in Jail. The telephones
are again in working order.

CHURCHES MUST

Philadelphia. December s-In a stirring speech to the delegates of the federal council Of the churches Of Christ in America. the Rev. Charles Sickle Of New York today declared that the churches must look after the religious and moral varfare ot immigrants in order to pre- vent the onward march of socialism. ''WhlIs our churches are deserting the down town fields in New York. and let ting the immigrants look out for them selves. socialism Is stepping in,'' said Mr Sickle. who is secretary of the department of church and labor in the Presoyterian church. Every night speeches are made from boxes on the street corners, and the foreigners are accepting socialism And 1t is not the Christian socialism that you hear about. out il ls the socialism that breaches reyo- Iurion and Is a real menace to the coun- fry" Dr. Stelzfes address was made during d discussion Of the immigrant problem.
