WORK BEGUN ON
SULPHITE MILL
Excavation TO be Completed Next
Week.-C will Give
Emnl0vmenf TO Many

Ten teams and twenty men have
been at work for two weeks making
the excavation for the Menasha Paper
Co. s new sulphite mill in this city. 1t
is located on the south side of the
wagon road across the river from the
paper mill. The earth has been dug
out of the side of the hill for 100 feet
in length and filled in to make the
foundation for the main building. 1t is
expected that the grading for the mill
will be completed next week.
The siding for the new plant has
been surveyed to leave the main line OF
the 500 a quarter of a mile east of the
river bridge, circling around the top of
the hill. Power for the new mill will
be secured by putting in a flume on the
east end of the dam. Some changes
are also contemplated in the paper mill
plant. All this work will give employ
ment to many men and teams for sew
eral months.

Rear of The Drive has Passed

The rear of the log drive arrived here
the fore part of the week, and the logs
now remaining in the river all belong
to the Menasha Wooden Ware Co. and
will remain here. F. W. Speigelberg,
who had charge of the drive, made the
80 miles from Mckinley farm to this
city in 26 lays. He went to Larson
today for few days rest. On his re-
turn he will begin systematic clean
ing up of the "dead heads in the bot
tom of the river, beginning about 70
miles up and working crew of 20 men

soaked logs have laid in the bottom of
the river upwards of 20 years. A mil
lion and half were rescued last sea-
son and skidded up on the banks of
the river and fioated down with the
drive this spring.

OUR HEROES HONORED
Decoration Day as Observed at
Ladysmiih

Decoration Day was fitting observed
in Ladysmith. The weather was cloudy
but the exercises we'll attended. The
business houses closed during the after
noon.
In the morning drum corps, COM
posed of J. B. Welpton and Marshal
Sergeant of this city and Littleton
Sherman of Cadott, headed the pro-
cession of old soldiers, ladies of the
w. r. G. and public school children,
which marched to the lower cemetery
and decorated the graves of the only
two veterans buried here:
George Gross, Troupe l, I'd Wis. Cav, died 1904.
Isaac G. Miller, died 1900.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the Ladysmith
Band followed by the Fire Department
marched to the court house, returning
to the opera house, where the exercises
were held on account of the threaten
ing weather. There were present
twenty members of the G. A. r., three
Spanish war veterans, and the opera
house was filled to overflowing, large
number of school children in attend
ance. Comrade A. Young presided.
Following the invocation by Rev. c.
w. MartZ, were recitations by Verna
Sampson, Eta Shumway and Ruth
Cole. Rev. j. E. Watson delivered
short address on the Elements of Per-
manence in Our Nation" He cited
the rise and fall of nations of antiquity,
although some of them existed for over
twenty centuries, as examples of lack
of permanency. America is yet an in
fant compared with most of these, and
founded on principle radically differ
ent from all of them and although some
of the corruption exists which caused
the downfall of many great nations,
the speaker took the optomistic view
and expressed the belief that the
foundation laid is for government
destined to live to the end of time.
The old soldier was not lauded to the
skies in this address, yet each of them
could not help but feel proud of the
mission it had been his privilege to full
fill in helping to perpetuate such gov
ernment as ours.
The Apollo male quartette, composed
of Messrs. Arthur, Charles and Frank
Alden and M. C. Martin rendered
selection, followed by a recitation by
Esther Burns. c.. P. Soule then read
selection entitled "Where They All
Came From" after which the quar-
tette again sang.
Rev. C. w. Martz gave a lengthy
address, in which he eulogized the vet
Grams. Some of his ancestors fought
in the Revolution and the war of 1912.
Among other good things spoken Of
was the proper observance of Decora-
ton Day. Fireworks, baseball and
dancing are dissertations of the day; it
is not a gala day, but rather day of
sad memories, which should be OBJ
served with quiet and decorum.
The program closed with a song by
twelve school girls and recitations by
Eula Calkins and Oscar Sabin, followed
bv '"The Flag Without Stain" by the
Apollo Quartette.

OBITUARY

FROST. Henry Locke Frost was
born March 8, 1887, in North Charles
ton, N. H.; died May 81, 1909, at his
home near Ladysmith, Wis, aged 72
years, 2 months and % days.
Mr.. Frost came west in 1866, when
20 years of age, settling in Iowa. He
was married to Olive P. Wright Apr.
Z, 1867 and they took up their residence
in Iowa, where they lived until 1873,
when they moved to Mr.. Frost's native
state, New Hampshire. After nine
years there, they returned to his adopt
ed state in the west where they resided
about 26 years. From there they
came to Ladysmith little more than
two and a half years ago and
settled on their farm near here.
Four children compose their family
Mrs. Myrtle Fromm and Mrs. Helen
Sergeant of Dows, Iowa; James E.
Frost and Mrs. Mary Sergeant OF
Ladysmith- all of whom are living and
were present at the funeral, no death
having before darkened their home.
One brother, Prof. Edwin P. Frost OF
Escanaba, Mich, was also present at
the funeral, and one sister, Mariah
Frost of Claremont, N. H., remain of
his fathers family.
Mr.. Frost was a successful school
teacher in his young manhood days,
having taught in New Hampshire and
for some years in Iowa. He was con-
verted and united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church when quite young
man. Eight years ago he suffered a
partial stroke of paralysis, from which
time his mind was affected, but In all
that time he never forgot the meaning
and sacredness of religious observance.
During the years of health and strength
he had lived an active and devoted
Christian life, serving his chosen
church in various official capacities.
In his home community in Iowa he was
active and influential in public life and
true neighbor to all around him. He
was honored and useful as a citizen,
loved and respected as a neighbor and
friend, tender and affectionate as q
husband and father.
Funeral service was conducted at the
church Wednesday afternoon by his
pastor, J. E. Watson, and interment
made in Riverside Cemetery.

ONE METER
RUNS TOO FAST
First Test OF Electric Meter in Lady
smith by Railroad Commission
as Provided by New Law

Although the meter system of mea-
suring light and water is unquestion-
ably the fairest to both the consumer
and the public utility management,
experience has taught that meters are
not infalhble. The legislature of 1907
enacted the law giving to the Rail
road Commission additional powers to
regulate public utilities. I. M.
Thomas of this city was member OF
the committee which drafted the act.
The law provides among other things
that any patron of public utility may
apply to the commission to have his
meter tested. Should it be found that
the meter is running too fast, the fee
of 81 is paid by the public utility man
agement, but if the test proves the
meter to be correct or that the mac
curacy is in favor of the patron the
fee must be paid by the applicant HIM
self.
While some patrons Of the Lady
smith Lighting Co. have been openly
expressing the opinion that their me-
ters were not registering correctly,
G.. B. Goocher was the first to take ad-
vantage of the provisions of the law
for having his meter tested. The fol-
lowing is the report of the Railroad
Commission dated May 28, after test
in0 the meter.
Upon complaint of Mr. G. B. Goocher,
dated March &c, 1909, against the Gut
man electric meter, Makers No. l2ll9,
an official test thereof was made by an
inspector of the commission May 3, O9.
The results of the test show that the
meter registered as follows:
On full load 1862 per cent fast
On half load 1912 per cent fast
On light load 9.4 per cent slow
This meter did not creep when no
lights were burning. The meter regis
tered faster than is allowed by law on
half and full loads and refund certlti-
cate is therefore issued.
Besides the refund of the 81 fee ad-
vanced, Mr. Goocher can recover from
the Lighting Co. the amount over
charged since the meter was installed.
