ROAD TO OPEN SOON.

City Attorney Herb. Manson has
communicated with representatives of
the G. & N. w. Ry. Co., regarding the
building of bridge across the COM
paEy's cut on Canal street. The COM
pany nas agreed to build, but has de-
layed the matter for obvious reasons
The time has come when some other
route to the cemetery than Grand Ave :,
is demanded A roadway to the last
resting grOnnd has been provided, but
because of the fact that the q & N W..
Ry Co /, has not up to the present built
bridge. the roadway has not been
opened. The hitch between the city
and the railway company, it appears,
has hinged on the kind of bridge to
be built AS near as the PILoT can
learn the plans drawn for the bridge
By local officials were not approved of
bY the railway company, because of the
cost Therefore the matter was de-
layed 1t appears from legal advice
that the city can compel the railway

cut. but only one of reasonable safely
and not an expensive structure
MIR Manson expects Ia goso Milwau
kee some time this week and have
conference with officials of the G & n
w Ry Co He feels certain that he
can reach an agreement whereby the
company will build bl idge soon.
As soon as the bridge is built new
route will be opened to Pine Grove
cemetery. We learn that those owning
property south of the termination of
Garfield Ave, which is but continua-
ton of Canal street, are DESTROYS of
having the street opened to the GENE
terry. The matter is now before the city
council.
City Atty. Manson expects to get the
controversy between the city and the
railroad company settled in short
time, so that the bridge will be built as
soon as weather conditions allow AS
has been previously stated in these col
umns the opening of this thoroughfare
will be of great convenience.

IMPORTANT SALE.

Part of lots and 8, block Is of the
original plat of Wausau was sold yes
teroaJ by Ida l.. Anderson to the Alder
son Investment Co. This is the prop
erty on which stands the store occupied
by Geo. Borowitz. There is 213 feet
frontage, 120 feet deep and the con-
sideration was 81 800, the highest price
which has, yet been paid per foot for
property on Third street-cfer 5000
The sale, as will be inferred, does not
include the bp;iding Because of his
business demanding larger quarters the
owner will build an addition on the
rear for Mr. Borowitz as soon as
weather conditions in the spring will
allow The addition will be the full
width of the store and will run back 20
feet Aside from the corner purchased
by the First National bank, this is the
first sale of land in that block that has
been made in half a century.
The fractional lots included in this
sale were once part of the site of a
shingle mill conducted by NJ ID Corey
and Harmon Daniels, it being situated
just back of where the First National
rsnk now stands This was the first
il dependent shingle mill btilt 10 Ma
siu, and it was also the first s'e tm mill
to be built here. Mr.. Corey later en-
tered into business with n B Thayer
in the grist mill, on the site where he
McEachron mill is situated, and it
was the only mill of its kind here
at that time. The sale of the property
mentioned above brings back many
"reminiscences to ones still in the land
of the living who resided here when
the greater part of Wausau's present
territory was covered with pine stumps.
If, by an act of necromancy, some
genie could transform Third street to
the condition it assumed in pioneer
days, and then change it back at will,
what sight would be revealed to the
young generationi Most of those who
welded an ak or grub hoe in clearing
the street have since joined the silent
majority, but the results of their labor
remain as a monument to their mem
DRY. Little did they think that frontage
on that street would some day be SELL
ing for 300 per foot.

roll The regular mailing case or
tube will fill the bill IL it Is of the
length required. A dainty and wash
able cover for 1t can be made, tube
shaped, of white linen, into which the
roll should be slipped. One end OF 1t
may be permanently drawn together
and the open end arranged with a cas-
ing and tape. to close after the roll
is replaced. On this should be rolled
all OF the embroidered and lace
trimmed covers as soon as they come
from the laundry. and before they
have been folded.
One matron tells of a roll on the
wall OF the buffers pantry. This is
n device for linen in daily use: but be-

With these two allies at hand II Is

Is required. but 1t is worth while to
mention the different sorts OF trim.

Velvet bows should always be made
with shoe thread. and II should be
wrapped around the loop OF the bow

Quills and feathers may be attached
TO the hat in the. same way. but when
the tips of ostrich plumes must be
caught and held at a required angle.
it is better TO use very fine black
thread and No. 10 needle. The
stitches are then practically invisible,
and the result will be very satisfac-

Bandanna kimonos.

AS this is n season of vivid colors.
even room robes and dressing sacques
have taken on brilliancy. One sees
less of the pale blues and pinks al.

One of the new ideas is TO use the
immense cotton handkerchief called a
bandanna. or rather several of them.
to make up a short kimono for room
wear.
Five of these are apt to make a
good-looking garment. One should get
them in yellow and red, with n wide
