WILL FINISH SOON.

Aug. Ziebell reports that he will be
through in about three days more in
his work of taking levels, setting
stakes, ETC., on the lands which will
be overflowed by the Marathon Paper
Mill Co.'S dam. He says there are a
number of islands standing high
enough out of the water so that they
will not be overlooked and conse-
ouently it will not be necessary to
clear the timber off them. They in
time will be uRderbrushed and made
beauty spots, where boating parties
can assemble for picnics, etc. But
just at the present time, Mr.. Ziebell
reports, it would not be very wise TO
attempt to pull off any such functions
on them, for the reason that the
mosquitoes are SO thick that they
keep person busy. They make a
man forget all about every live topic
of the day except as how to rid the
earth of insects. AS previously stated
in these columns, as soon as Mr.. lie
bell is through with his work, VIM.
Farmer and crew of about l25 men
will commence clearing the fiowage

TAX CONTROVERSY.

+ From what we can. learn we infer
that there will be another mix-up in
the town of Cleveland this year over
taxation matters: Last week the
assessor was summoned to appear be
fore the boad of equalization and
asked to show figures he had made in
making an assessment of the town.
The r. Connor Lumber Co. is the
largest wild land owner in the town,
and protest was made against the
assessment on that company'S lands,
we understand, resulting in the board
scaling down the assessors figures.
The assessor, we are told, accused the
board of being tools of the company
and refused to take any further part
in the meeting and went home 1t
was finally agreed to postpone further
action for two weeks. When the
board meets again about fifty prop
erty owners of the town will be
summoned TO appear before the board,
and it is proposed to bring an out
side real estate dealer in to testify as
to the value of wild lands. A few
years ago re-assessment was made
of the town by order of the state tax
commission.

AN HISTORICAL EVENT.

Two hundred and seyenty-tiye years
ago this summer Wisconsin was first
visited by white man. The year
was 1884 and the man was Jean Nico-
let. This historical event will be eel
ebrated at Green Bay on August 10,
IL and II. The first people Nicolet
met in Wisconsin were Winnebago
Indians, this meeting having taken
place about fourteen miles from the
site of the present city of Green Bay.
The Indians that occasionally pass
through this city, now clothed in the
garb of the white man and some OF
them riding in light wagons, are rem
nants of the tribe with which Nico-
let first held converse.-S Stevens Point

APPOINT HIN WEED COMMIS-
SIONER.

The PILOT would suggest that May
or Lamont appoint the Record Herald
critic as weed commissioner. In his
incoherent ramblings, about what
should be done and what shouldn't
be done, it really demonstrates that
weeds are about the only thing of
which he shows any intelligence. He
has mixed up parks, beautiful streets,
hospitals retention and otherwise
fair grounds, bouleyards, street rail-
ways, tuberculosis Sanitariums, etc,
which if followed out, would bankrupt
a half dozen cities the size of Wausau,
and every capitalist in them. But
the city could profit by a learned
weed commissioner. Hence the Pilot
urges the appointment.
Millions upon millions of dollars
could be spent by the tax payers of the
city of Wausau in making city beau
tiful, but from whose pockets is this
money coming from? Surely not from
itinerantsN who have all they can do to
keep body and soul together and have
no property upon which to be taxed.
1t is well to talk about all of these
nice things but quite another thing
to pile up the taxes upon the poor of
our city. The rich can stand it but
the poor cannot. If the present
managers of the city government have
wasted the peoples money, the
Record Herald has only to point to
such Interpretations and it will
find plenty to back it up in its work
of uncoyering the dark spots, but to
try to pile up the taxes on the people
to make Wausau beautiful and eth
erial, according to its aesthetic imagi-
nation, the ridicule and contempt
with which it is met is justly deserved.

EWINC-REED.

On Monday afternoon, July 2, 1909,
in Minneapolis, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Lawrence Lloyd-the latter
being a sister of the bride Mark E.
Ewing and Miss Sadie Reed, both of
this city, were united in marriage,
the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Andrew Stone, rector of Christ's
church of that city, at four O'Clock, in
the presence of relatives and a few
| personal friends.
The PILOT last week published the
announcement of the engagement of
this young couple and the fact that
the nuptials were to come off soon,
hence our people were not taken en-.
tirely by surprise.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing, after brief
trip, will return to Wausau and be at
home to their friends in the residence
owned by G. f. Dunbar, on Fifth
street, recently occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. r. M. Heskett.
Both bride and groom have been
residents of Wausau for many years
and are very highly regarded by a
wide circle of friends.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mrs. Alberta Reed and the PILOT
only states that to which all who know
her will heartily subscribe when it
says that she is most refined and
accomplished young lady. She is
Wausau girl in every sense of the
word, having resided here all her life,
and in the esteem of it's people and
in the interest taken in her welfare.
The groom is young man of worth
and ability. He is the type of citi-
zen to whom communities in which
they reside, owe their progress and
growth. He is interested in the Mara
thon Paper Mills Co., Great Northern
Life ms Co., the Wausau Street Rail-
road Co., and other institutions of our
city and is manager and treasurer of
the latter named company, and to his
energy and ability is due much of its
success. The PILOT joins in extend
ing congratulations TO Mr.. and Mrs.
Ewing in their new relations.
