BOY DROWNED.

Lee, son of Mr.. and Mrs. : Chas.
Gritzmacher, 6l0 Scott street, was
drowned in the Eau Claire river last
Friday afternoon. He went down to
the river in company with Edwin
LEM, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto LEM,
who reside at 622 Scott street. The
boys amused themselves for some
time around the river and sloughs in
the vicinity of the railroad bridge.
Finally, between three and four
O'Clock young Gritzmacher made the
suggestion that they go in swimming.
Young LEM did not share this view
of the afternoons sport. The Gritz-
macher boy removed his clothes and
went into the river while the LEM
boy remained on the banks and looked
on. The Grit2macher boy swan out
to an island, rested a minute or two
and then went into the water again.
The water at that point is quite deep
in places and the boy got into water
eight feet deep and became exhausted.
Young LEM on the bank could give
him no succoT.
Young Gritzmacher, when he
realized the position he was in, cried
for help, but the help was not forth
coming. As soon as young LEM saw
his companion sink for the last time,
he hurried up the railroad track to-
ward the city. He met some parties
and notified them of the drowning.
He took them back TO where he saw
the boy go down last and at once an
effort was made to raise the body.
The launch of VIM. Sperling was be-
ing driven through the sloughs in
that section at the time. This was
brought into commission and by the
use of poles the body was soon located
and brought to the surface. In the
meantime the LEM boy ran up to
Wausau Jet. and there, by telephone,
notified Coroner W. c. Dickens. The
latter. after learning the circum-
stances, concluded that an inquest
was unnecessary and the boys re-
mains were brought to the home of
his parents in this city and his father
and brother Carl, who were working
in lumber camp near Donaldson we're
notified of the death.
Lee was the youngest boy in the
family. He was born in the city
eleven years age. The funeral was
held yesterday morning, Rev. Er.
Brennan conducting the service.

Indications For Good Crop OF Apples
Never Looked Better.

Frederick Cranefield secretary of the
Wisconsin State Horticultural society,
was in Wausau on Wednesday and
Thursday, looking over the state trial
orchard on Ed. Gensman's farm in the
town of Maine Mr.. Cranefeld paid
the PILOT office visit and expressed
himself as very much pleased with
the outlook for splendid crop this
season, that the orchard was never in
better condition and barring destruc-
i've storms or accidents, the crop would
be LOCO bushels. The fruit is set now
and the results are pretty certain if
there are no storms or accidents. Mr..
Cranetield was very enthusiastic about
the growth of apples in this county,
ant says that certain varieties, prop
erly sprayed and cultivated, will pro-
duce largely and be very profitable.
The trial orchard was started some
tea years ago. 1t is for the purpose
of finding out What kinds are the
best for this climate. 1t is purely
for the benefit of our farmers. Mr..
Cranefield says that Mr. Gensman is
employed by the state to look after
the orchard; that the society rents
the ground from him on which the
trees are planted. Every citizen of
the county has the right to go in and
look it over; there will be someone
there to answer all questions. When
the fruit is ripening there will be
some restrictions, in reference to
picking fruit etc. The farmer
who contemplates starting an orchard
can find out the best yarities of trees
to get; how TO plant, cultivate, spray,
etc. He can also find out what not to
plant in the way of any kind of fruits.
Here is chance right at the door of
every farmer, to find out what to do
in the way of raising all kinds of
fruit, absolutely free of cost. BY
taking the mans word who wants to
sell for his nursery, the farmer will
lose hundreds of dollars and waste the
best years of his life, and accomplish
nothing in the line of fruit raising.
By visiting the trial orchard, looking
it over and inquiring into things, he
can lay plans at once to have an
orchard and fruit section on his farm
that will be not only joy to his
family but source of profit equal to
any other investment on his farm.
Mr.. Craneield says that he is plan
ming to have fine exhibition of apples
from the trial orchard, at the county
fair in September.
He gives this advice to farmers;
Cultivate your orchards; do not try
to raise hay crops from the ground
on which the orchard stands, and
spray trees at least three times during
the season to prevent the attacks of
insects"
For various formulas and how to
spray trees and fruits, one has but to
visit the orchard to get full informa-
tion, or write to Mr.. Cranefeld at
Madison %or a bullentin treating
upon the same. The PILOT urges up
on every farmer to take advantage of
the trial orchard; visit the same and
become informed; it will not cost you
anything but your time.

from the opening chorus by the coun-
try boys and girls and the city boys

simon pure fun and dazzling music to
the finale song and march, tits

show shines all over with a brilliancy
far in advance of amateur or even
many professional shows. The la
dies of the Presbyterian church who
are the beneficiaries of the event,
agree with Mr. Evans that the offer
ing is going to be the biggest amuse-
ment ever given before in Wenat-

The tickets are out in punches all

them. Many parties are figuring on
coming in from the country in the
event of the weather remaining fine.

FIRST MAN To
EXPLORE IDAHO
BENO SOLOMO, AGED PROSPECT
OR, DIED ALONE IN HIS PLAC-
RELATIVES.
Special to the World.

Spokane, Feb. 2.-Beno Solomo,
prospector and trapper, believed to
have been the first white man to ex-
plore the territory now embraced by
the boundaries of the state of Idaho,
is dead at the age of Sc years. He
died alone in his cabin near Placer
Vile, Idaho, ball from a rifle he
had carried for years ending his
eventful career That was the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury of miners
when the body was found several
days ago. The wall calendar, with
the dates crossmarked to January 9,
indicates that was the day he passed
away. The suicide theory is con-
firmed by two entries. One reads,
Every sick" the other Cray"
Thus one of the heroes of the
gulch and yeomen of the mountain
slopes crossed the Great Divide, leav-
ing his poke of gold dust and other
belongings to be distributed among
his friends in the hills. These men
will make efforts to locate Solomo S
sister and brother, who are believed
to be in California, where the vet
eran prospected in the days of tie
Argonauts.
Solomo was a native of New Eng
land, born near Boston in 1928.
When Is years of age he started for
the wilds of the Northwest and land

Special to the World.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q
An important announcement has
been made by the secretary of the
interior with reference to the inter-
probation to be placed upin the
phrase in the reclamation act which
reads, 1.-The occupant thereof resid-
ing in the neighborhood of said
land" as the prime motive for the
reclamation act will make habitable
arid lands for actual home builders,
provided that in order to obtain a
water right the applicant must reside
on the land or in the enighbor-
hood In connection with most pro-
jects so far undertaken this term has
been construed to mean 20 miles.
Since actual operations have begun,
however, railroad lines have been ex-
tended to practically all the projects
and it is found people can live in
nearby towns while developing lands
on projects with a view to establish
ing their residence thereon at later
date On many projects it requires
several years for complete subjuga-
ton. and in the meantime it is desir-
able to encourage the owner to put
it in the best possible condition and
plant orchards. utilizing for this pur-
pose any money earned at some con-
venient point in the neighbOrhood.
The secretary of the interior has,
therefore, extended the definition of
"neighborhood'' to so miles in all
cases.

Many Sleepless Nights. Owing to I
Persistent Cough. Relief
Found at Last. 81

For several winters past my VIE
has been troubled with a most per-
sistent and disagreeable cough,
which invariably extended over a
period of several weeks and caused
her many sleepless nights" writes
Will ]. Hayner, editor of the Burnley,
Colo, Bulletin. Various remedies
were tried each year, with no bene-
fetal results. In November last the
cough again put in an appearance
and my wife, acting on the sugges-
ton of a friend, purchased a bottle
of Chamberlain's-Eough Remedy
The result was, indeed, marvellous.
After three doses the cough entirely
disappeared and has not manifested
itself since" This remedy is for
