GOSelin Wins

A small sized crowd witnessed the
Goslin-Hazlip wrestling match at the
Turner last evening, the inclement
weather probably keeping a great
many away, but those who did attend
were well repaid, as every bout from
the opening preliminary to the wind
up was interesting. Ullrich and Clau-
sen started the show, and wrestled at
catch weights to a draw. After 80
minutes of good hard work on the
part of each, time was called with
honors even. The second bout of 20
minutes was a repetition of the first,
neither getting fall. Braun and
Franklin then went on for a bout,
Franklin putting his man to the mat
in short order, turning the trick in 2
minutes and Is seconds. The most in
terest of course centered in the match
between o. F. Goslin of this city
and Johnny Hazlip OF Milwaukee. The
conditions of the match were best
two out of three, pin falls only to
count, Police Gazette rules to govern.
Goslin was declared the winner, TAX
ing the first fall in II minutes 10 Sec
onds and the next in 20 minutes 40
seconds. Hazlip is quick and has
science, but he was unable to handle
the husky Canadian, who was some
fourteen pounds heavier than the Mil
waukee man. B. W. Smith was the
referee. Wrestler Burns of Ottowa,
Canada, was present and announced
that he was willing to arrange han
dicap match, agreeing to throw both
Goslin and Hazlip within one. hour.

Exhibit Coming

Prof. w. P. Roseman is in receipt
Of letter from Frank A. Hutchins,
secretary of the extension division of
the state university which has charge
of the tuberculosis exhibit now being
shown throughout the state. The let
ter in part says:
We hope to be able to reach Water
town with the exhibit for a weeks
stay on Tuesday, March %, to remain
during the week. 1t will be at Jan es-
vile during the preceding week. This
exhibit has had so many accidents
and mishaps on rail that l dislike to
make too definite promises, but we
shall be able to meet this engagement
unless we have another railroad wreck
or blockade or other serious disaster.
The exhibit shows in graphic and
and striking forms the great losses re-
suIting from the ravages of tuberculo-
sis, the best preventative measures,
and the most effective and economical
means of cure. An experienced dem
onstrator will be in charge of the ex-
hibit to explain the various charts,
models of houses, sleeping bags, win
dow tents, photographs, etc.
In Portage, where the original ex-
hibit was shown some time ago, the
woman's club divided the city into ten
districts and two members visited
each home to invite the homemakers.
AS a result there was a large attend
ance of those who most needed educa-
ton in the methods of fighting the
white plague. 1t is hoped that the
trip of the exhibit will lead many COM
munities to organize local associations
to cooperate with the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association in stamping
out this terrible disease in our COM
monWealth.
The exhibit will be shown in the
public library where everyone is in
vited to call and view it.

Investigating Rock River

Captain L. L. Wheeler, government
engineer, says the GAINESVILLE Gazette,
has started the work of gathering ma
terial from commercial clubs, manu-
facturers, cities and others who would
be interested in the deepening of Rock
river between Rockford and James,
vile, and expects to have his data
compiled before July1, 1909. Under
the provisions of the section in the
river and harbor bill which provides
for a survey of Rock river from Ster-
ling to GAINESVILLE, it is necessary to do
much preliminary work before the sur
vey is started. The bill provides that
data must be gathered from those in
terested in the work to show that it
is reasonable project, before the
work is started. 1t is necessary that
this data should be gathered before
July 1, as the bill providing for the
work will not be available until after
the data is gathered and presented to
the war department.
1t is known that number of the
manufacturers here are heartily in
favor of the plan and predict that the
power in the river will be improved
greatly if the plans of the Rock River
Improvement association are carried
out. The benefit to the manufacture
ers aside from possible cheap trans
portation, will lie in the improved
power in the river.
The reservoirs at Horizon marsh
that are planned as a part of the i'm
provement are looked to steady the
power in the river through the saving
of the surplus water in the spring and
holding it in reserve until it is needed
at a time of drought that is likely to
come after the middle Of the summer
Careful measurements of the flow of
the river shows that there is wide var
iation between the spring and mid
summer flow. In the spring there is
much more water than is nodded and
in the summer not enough. This was
was formerly a serious drawback to
the power lower down the river but
since the installation of the big gov
eminent dam, it has created an i'm
mense bondage that last year proved
to be of the greatest advantage here.
1t the conservation of the water for
power purposes that now interests the
factory owners along the stream and
for which it is understood they stand
ready to put up a large amount of
money.
