Water Tank Catches Fire

The water tank at the paper mill
caught fire Wednesday forenoon. That
sounds like joke, but the men who
tried to extinguish it found nothing
funny about it. The fire was first
noticed at the very top of the roof,
about 80 feet above the ground, prob
ably having caught from spark from
one Of the smoke stacks The big
pump was started and the pressure run
up to 100 lbs., but it was not sufficient
to reach the fire with a stream Of
water from the ground. Those who
climbed to the foot of the tank had
burning embers from the caves falling
on them. The roof burned until it fell
into the tank, which was partly full of
water. The city fire department was
called out, as the sparks were being
blown by stiff breeze over the big
piles of pulp wood. Several fires did
get started, but were extinguished
without the use of the city's hose.
R. F. Presher and Fred Graham, two
of the employees of the Paper Co.,
were seriously injured by being struck
by flying hose pipe, which got away
from them under high pressure. They
were stationed on a pile of logs with
one line of hose, throwing water in the
direction the sparks were falling. The
sudden Strengthening out of kink in
the hose jerked the nozzle from their
grasp. Presher was struck on the side
of the head laying open his scalp, and
Graham was struck in the left eye,
cuttinglthe eyeball, not so seriously but
what there is hope of saving the sight.

to the methods for the care and pre-
vention of tuberculosis through organ
lied effort, the report says. The pre-.
diction of medical men that consump-
tion can be stamped out in Wisconsin
in ten years time is sure to be fully
realized.
"Organized effort means the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis association,
which was formed by leading medical,
business and professional men who had
no interest other than the saving OF
lives of those people who could not or
did not know how to help themselves.
They gave their time and money freely
in worthy cause.
But these comparatively few men
could not be expected to be the sole
support of the movement in financial
way, so the association adopted the
Christ tmas stamp idea of raising funds,
penny by penny. In this manner even
the poorest person, class most affect
ed by the white plague, could contri-
butte his or her mite to help the fight.
The money thus raised has been and
is being devoted to most worthy
work, as proof of which only the health
records need be examined. But the
work has only begun and more funds
are needed. The association has there
fore decided to sell stamps, but of an
exclusively Wisconsin design, better
for the practical use of these stickers
on letters and packages sent during
the holiday season.
The campaign opens Nov. 20 and
closes at midnight, Dec. 81. Three
million stamps must be sold this year.
Every person in Wisconsin is asked to
to assist. Those who gave their un-
selfish and loyal aid last year have
again came forward, but the ground is
not throughly covered. Stanley A..
Douglas, campaign manager, All Gold
smith building, Milwaukee, is appeal
ing for general support, especially in
those places which could not be reach
ed last year because of the lack of
facilities.

ney's decision.
The letter from the attorney gen
erals office referred to in the Journal
article, ''giving the same opinion, the
opinion of the leading attorneys and
Mr. Hadden to the contrary notwith-
standing" was received by the district
attorney after election, and the answer
to his question was evidently based
upon the proposition that we had no
city superintendent. At any rate the
later opinion published above does not
agree with it.
The News-Budget is not watching
every chance to get slap at the dis
trict attorney" or any other public
officer, but when a coterie of unscrup-
ulous politicians seek to control an
election by turning trick with a
body they control, and are sustained by
the decision of public officer having
authority, the News-Budget wants the
public to know the particulars. That s
one of the missions of a newspaper
according to our code of ethics.

so Miles of Line Built This Season

A. j. Laidlaw of the Rusk County
Rural Telephone Co. is busy these days
getting into operation as many miles of
line as possible before the ground
freezes up. 1t is expected that by the
end of the week all but one of their
projected country lines running out
of this city will be in operation. They
now have eight lines connecting with
the switchboard in this city A toll
line to Holcomb, connecting there with
the Chippewa County line, will be COM
pleted soon. The E line, running 63
miles northeast of Maple hill will be
completed in few days, when the con-
struction crew will begin building two
miles of line east from Maple Hill. 1t
is hoped that the line may be extended
from Conrath to Sheldon yet this fall.
TIE company has built 80 miles of
new line this season, making total of
over 100 miles now in operation, and
with the extensions to be built has
about ITO phones. Not so bad for one
seasons work. The company was or
ganized in May, uniting with two
farmer lines out of Bruce which already
had % miles in operation.

ANNUAL FALL CLEANUP
City Health Department Recommends
Fall Campaign

The city health department has con-
'ceived the idea that if cleaning
campaign is prosecuted every spring
and fall, there will be less chance of
epidemics of contagious diseases. The
city was pretty well cleaned up last
spring before the Firemen's Tourna-
ment, and continued agitation along
that line will keep it clean with little
effort. Accumulated rubbish lyin G
under the snow all winter is menace to
the health of the community in early
spring. Clean it up now and have the
garbage man haul it away.
