TO BUILD FOUR BRIDGES.

Last week the town boards OF the
towns of Day and Bergen and the
county board committee on roads and
bridges met at Rice lake and let con-
tracts for three steel bridges to cross
the Little Eau Pleine river. The
three bridges will span the river at
points most advantageous for travel,
one being located at the foot OF Rice
lake. Previous to this meeting the
town of Day let contract for another
bridge to cross the Eau Pleine. The
three contracts let last week were
awarded to the Wausau Iron Works.
That section of Marathon county
has been practically ro2dless and
bridgeleSs heretofore. 1t is sparsely
settled and there has been little use
for either. OF course the conditions
just named have been largely instru-
mental in keeping settlers out of that
section. Heretofore, for fifteen miles
OF its length in that territory, no
bridges could be found crossing the
Little Eau Pleine. Since the large
bitches have been dug in the drainage
district it has become necessary 10
build bridges. Roads are also being
constructed leading TO these bridges,
and when the district is settled up,
as it soon will be when the value oil

could be paid back to the company on
the installment plan of from $5 to $40
per month, the company furnishing
steady employment to every purchaser,
all services rendered the company to
be paid in cash, monthly. Some sixty
settlers have been located under this
plan and all have been accepted with
out prior investigation as to their
familiarity with farm work.
These people have come from as far
west as Wyoming, as far east as New
York, from Canada on the north and
Texas on the south. Some fourteen
different states are represented and
twelve different nationalities. A ma
iority of these people have had no pre-
vious experience in the timber couE-
try, but under the direction of COM
petent foremen they readily learn.
This new method has been tried out
for more than year and not a single
failure can be charged up against it.
Another striking feature is that I'M
der the cash system of payment for
work these new settlers all pay cash
for their supplies which they buy in
the nearby towns as their fancy die
tates.

FOUND BLUE DIAMOND.

Geo. Clark, farmer residing near
Rhinelander, while plowing a held
several weeks ago, found a peculiar
stone which he picked up and
carried home Owing TO its
beauty anu brilliancy he decided
to have it set in ring and
sent it to Tiffany's, the celebrated
New York diamond experts, TO have
it ground down. He also requested
them to tell him the name of the
stone. A few days ago he got the
stone back, set in ring, with the in
formation that the house had never
before handled such a stone and was
therefore unable TO tell him its name.
They told him, however, that II
much resembled. the priceless blue
diamond, in that it had the same
blush tint, brilliancy and hardness.
Mr.. Clark has been offered large sums
of money for the stone, but refuses tc
part with it, The land on which II
was found is now planted TO corn, and
as soon as the crop is harvested ft
will make thorough examination o1
the soil in the hopes of finding more
blue diamonds.

walk. We refer to a young German
by the name of Rudolph Grimm, 19
years old, who left Germany all alone,
having friends in Wisconsin. When
he reached New York, money which
he expected to receive did not reach
him, so after paying his bill in that
city, he started out on foot for Fond
du Lac with only $500 in his pocket.
He cleared the entire distance in
thirty-eight days, walking thirty-one
miles the last day. When we wish to
teach our boys and girls a lesson of
perseverance and industry, we need
only to repeat to them the first exper-
-ience of Rudolph Grimm.

A cLOUDBURsT.

The worst flood which perhaps was
ever visited upon Wisconsin came last
Wednesday in the vicinity of Ashland.
Its cause was what is known as a
cloudburst, whatever that may be.
Some people ally it with brain
ssssfn1, but our dictionary says it is
the dropping out Of the bottom of the
heavens The power plant at White
river which furnished power and light
for the city of Ashland was complete
ly washed out, loss 100000 The
state fish hatchery also was destroyed
and millions of fish were washed out
into lake Superior, loss $4,000. A
dam at Oconto river went out, allow
ing 100000 feet OF logs of the Scroe-
der Lumber Co. to drift into the lake.
The logs in Bad river, belonging to
the Stearns Lumber Co., were held
back by tug boats. AT the Indian
village of Odanah every house was
under water and the Stearns Lumber
Co.'S store was flooded. For several
days not train moved in or out of
Ashland, and the city was cut off
| from the outside world. The North
western road was able to send train
to point near Odanah to rescue the
people. 1t carried five motor and a
number of row boats. At parochial
school 100 women and children who
had been in the building for twelve
hours without any food, were rescued
by aid of the motor boats. The water
came with such violence that houses
were overturned. At Mason a dam
was blown up with dynamite to save
saw mill and lumber yards. On the
Omaha road a bridge and several
thousand feet of track were washed
out At this point passengers and
mail were transferred from one train
to another in row boats. At Duluth,
Mimi, two children were drowned in
the streets and the hillside on which
a large portion of the city is built be
came a waterfall The loss in that
city is estimated at Sl,500,000. The
storm extended into the copper coun-
| try of Michigan, doing great damage.
