WAUSAU MAKING
SPLENDID PROGRESS
Among Latest Industries the Biggest
Paper Mill in the CountrY-A
Great Manufacturing Plant.

The writer having few hours to
spend in Wausau the other day, the
time was spent looking over old scenes
and new industries.
We visited the Plumer island, where
as boy many happy as well as stren-
uous days were spent. About the
only thing left that was recognizable
were the old mill boarding house.
The two saw mills that stood there
thirty-fve years ago, had long since
been removed. Here and there were
scattered old mill machinery that
could, If it could speak, tell of great
big monster cork-pine logs that were
sawed into three-inch planks, three to
five feet wide. Mr.. B. g. Plumer,
thirty-five years ago, used to have the
finest white pine logs on the river.
These came from the Spirit river and
from along the west side of the Wis
consin river between here and Wau-
sau-all from Lincoln county. These
logs were great; would float two-thirds
out of water and when opened up
would turn out, as we have said,
three-inch planks three to five feet
wide. But that is past history.
The water then utilized to drive the
two saw mills of B. G. Plumer and the
one saw mill of ]. G. Clarke is now
utilized in furnishing power for the
Wausau Street Railway and Electric
Light and Power company.
The power plant, where the power
is generated, is one of the best
equipped in Northern Wisconsin. II
contains all the latest and most i'm
proved inventions and appliances fol
the production of electricity.
An experimental pulp mill is being
built, where the United States gov.
ernment will experiment in the pro
duction of pulp suitable for the man
ufacture of print paper. The idea is
TO experiment and to find, If possible
a successful method to convert the
cheaper and more abundant woods o.
Northern Wisconsin into pulp from
which print paper can be made.
From the Plumer island we natur
ally wended our way over to the Alex
ander Stewart Lumber company:
plant near by. Everything there wa:
much the same as it used to be, only
that the mill had been greatly i'm
proved and the piling yard extended

One of the large plate glass windows
in the Bells hotel front was pune
tured last week The hotel manage
ment is of the belief that it was
caused by workmen of the Wausau
Gas Co., who we're digging trench
in front of the building, the theory
being that in striking a small pebble
with a pickax the pebble was thrown
through the window. Joe Taylor,
manager for the gas company denies
the allegation and defies the alligator.
He says the puncture probably re-
suited from the glass coming in con-
tact with the breath of some Of the
county politicians.

did Musical Program Rendered by
Choirs for the Occasion.

One of the largest crowds that has
gathered in Old ST. Johns cemetery
in several years attended the Con-
federate memorial services yesterday
afternoon and listened TO a most IN
teresting and scholarly address by
Rev. r. w. Barnwell, ID. D., CT Pc
tersburg, who was the orator of the
occasion. DR.. Barnwell choose lot
his theme, The Place % the Con-
federates in History and for more
than an hour he charmlngly entertain
ed his hearers with an address brlst-
ling with historical facts.
He declared that the people of the
South were of the upright. honest,
brave and agricultural tendencies
and that the sovereignty of their state
meant everything to them.
He related the circumstances lead
ing up to the commencement OF the
hostilities and in launching into the
war itself, the speaker first paid eio-
quent tributes to Lincoln, McCleiland,
Grant, and, in fact, most of the Union
officers, as well as the men who fol-
lowed them. He said he gave the
Northern soldier the same credit Tor
honesty of opinion that he knew pos
sessed every Southern man to enter
the army of the Confederacy.
Splendid Tribute.
DIR. Barnwell said that the strategy
shown in the deeds and acts OF Lee,
Jackson, Stuart and johnson was to-
day the strategy OF war that is being
taught in all the military schools of
This country. The torpedo boat7of to-
day. came from the torpedo of the
Civil war. as did also the cruiser,
battleship and all fighting machinery
known to warfare. He said it was
the Confederate army that gave to
the world the real soldier and. that,
with the possible exception of Ma
poieon. no soldier ever compared with
the gallant Lee.
DR.. Barnwell said he wanted to
speak for the cavalry of the Con-
federacy. although ne paid glowing
tribute to the infantry branch. He
thought Johnson had failed to receive
his share of the praise due the men
who led the Lost Cause" and he
paid a magnificent tribute to John
sons work as a leader in the army.
DR.. BarnweIl was presented to the
audience by Rev. Reverdy Estill, D.
D.. rector of st. Johns church.
