The tnSl outcome of the whole in
yestlgation is that plant can be in
stalled at the pumping station COM
plete for less than S10.OOO.O0 and
that current can be produced at one
cent per kilowatt. This would be a
saving of about 100000 figuring six
per cent. interest on the Investment
and includes everything connected
with the change.
The Wausau Street Railroad COM
pany is nome concern and has done
much for this city. 1t is entitled to
our patronage but the city must look
after its own interests as well and do
tnat which is best and cheapest for
the taxpayers. 1t is a business propo-
sitlon and must be looked upon as
such.
| would request that this council
make at once a thorough investiga-
tlon of the suggestions embodied in
this message and that speedy action
be taken.
AT the conclusion of the reading of
the message it was moved that COM
mittee of five, to include the commit
tee on lighting, disappointed to report
on the matter. The mayor appointed
Aldermen Schmidt and Peters to
serve with the lighting committee.
Certain residents of the First ward
made complaint about the location of
the Wadhams Oil Co.'s local branch,
which is in process of building. 1t
was stated that the warehouse and
tanks will be located too close to
dwelling houses, and that the city
ordinances are being infringed upon
The matter was referred to the city
attorney.
Several of the aldermen called at
tention to the fact that certain
merchants on Third street have sign
boards hanging out over the outer
edge of the sidewalk, and also have
the sidewalk blockaded with show
cases and dry goods boxes.

MAKING PAPER.

{.
The Marathon Paper Mills Co.'S
plant was put in operation last Fri
day forenoon, and from now on it is
expected that the mill will be oper-
ated steadily, though at present paper
making in this plant is in an expert
mental stage. 1t will probably be
some time before The whole mill is
running on asystemitized basis. The
machinery throughout is on an i'm
proved scale and for this reason the
work of getting started full blast will
be somewhat retarded. There are
three paper making machines of the
latest model of scientific skill, and
these are graduated for making diff
ferent kinds of paper. One of them
will manu- facture tissue paper.
At present the stock of bolts on
hand is not large, but from, now on
shipments will increase rapidly. The
stock on hand at present is largely
spruce, but other woods will be used.
The little town of Rothschilds is a
model village. 1t is well built and
supplied with nearly all the conyen-
fences that Wausau enjoys. Those
living there have the benefit of a
waterworks system electric lights and
street cars. A general store supplies
their wants in the mercantile line.
The village is buiit on side hill
commanding view of the river. All
of the houses are substantially built
and, we learn, it is the intention of
the company to erect many more
next season.

Quite a number of hunters have
been killed this fall and many have
come SO close to being struck by
bullets that they will never go into
the woods again during the hunting
season. One man last week was
killed near Sayner; another man who
had stepped out into the open saw a
gun leyeled at him and he threw up
his hands, but still he was shot and
died in few minutes. The man who
did the shooting, as soon as he found
out what he had done, ran into the
woods aud escaped and he has not
been apprehended up to this time.
Last week young farmer, Ernest
Roemhild living in Dunn county was
killed while hunting in Lincoln coun-
ty. He was crawling through the
bushes and the snow shaking down
covered his red coat and cap. His
companion at whose home he was Wis
iting, saw the disturbance in the
bushes and thought it was deer
He fired and the bullet passed
through Roemhild's temple. He died
instantly.

IN THEIR NEW HOME.

N. E. Morrow, who sold his farm in
the town of Maine has since built
himself modern home at 30S Second
Ave. north, and he and his family
are now occupying the same. The
home is handsomely finished in woods
grown in Marathon county. 1t is
lighted by electricity; heated by
furnace; has city water and is sup
piled with all modern conveniences.
Mr.. Morrow is an old resident of
Wausau, and is man who has always
believed in doing things on the square
and he has ever lived up to this to
the letter For thirty years he owned
farm in the town of Maine, which
he made one of the best farms in the
county. Hereafter he proposes to
take it easy in his new home. We
know of no one who has earned and
deserves a rest more than our old
friend Nate.

A resolution was passed which in
effect cancels the tax certificate held

the time it was placed an the taxable
list. A settlement was agreed upon
on the same basis as the city made
taking the rental of the
barber shop operated at the time the
assessment was made.
1t was ordered that the county as
sistance given Mrs. Mary Tuttle,

LET US HAVE A DEBATE.

A pamphlet has just been issued by
the w. G. T. U. containing articles
recently published in the Sun and
Record-Herald, severely criticising
the lecture given by Mr.. Dickie re-
Gently. The pamphlet also contains
several lectures, or parts of them de-
livered by Mr.. Dickie, in which are
about all he said before the w. G. r..
U. convention in Wausau. This mat
ter has been talked about to such an
extent, why wouldn't it be well TO
have debate in Wausau between
Mr.. Dickie and any one who could be
gotten here to enter into a debate
with him. If Mr.. Dickie has said
things Mhich are not true then he
ought to be told it right to his face
Anyway a debate on this question
considering the commotion which has
been stirred up, would be interesting
and would give all chance to Judge
for themselves.

GEORGE STEVENS.

The following is taken from the old
time notes published in the Stevens
Point Gazette of 25 years ago. George
Stevens after whom this city is named,
is now a resident of San Jose Mission,
CAL, about sixteen miles from the
city of San Jose. He owns hundreds
of acres of very productive fruit land
and is extensively engaged in the
manufacture of grape wines, having
recently erected factory and store
room capable of holding 40,000,000
gallons. He is said to be worth over
81, 900, 900, but the hand of time has
long since whitened his locks"
The land on which Wausau stands
now was owned by Geo. Stevens in
1888. He built the first saw mill in
Wausau which was completed in 1899
and stood where the Alexander Stew
art Lumber Co.'s mill is now. He
also built the guard lock and the dam
across the slough where the electric
light plant now stands and also built
the main dam across the Wisconsin
river all in '3S and '39.

MOSINEE LIGHT PLANT.

The village of Mosinee will get an
electric lighting plant. The Mosinee
Electric Light company has been or
ganized and Incorporated. The capi-
tai stock is $4,000 The incorporators
are Neal Brown, Mark Ewing and G.
S. Gilbert.
The above news item has been 60
ing the rounds of the neighbor!ng
newspapers lately. We understand
the company was organized some time
ago, but have been unable to learn
anything of their plans other than it
is probable that nothing will be done
until spring. A lighting plant is one
of the things that this city has needed
for long time and it now bids fair
to be a realization. Mosinee Times.

While playing with Eau Claire in this
city last May he executed double
play, which he says has not been
duplicated in base ball so far as
records show. A ball was knocked
out between third base and left field
which looked like a safe one and a
Wau sau player ran from second to
third. Carter, in long run caught
the ball and kept right on running to
second base, catching the runner be-
fore he could recover the base. In
another game he says he made six
hits in as many times at bat, which
is a record.

present.
1t was reported that the sprinkling

The communication of the Wausau
Street Railroad Co.. relative to a new
contract for street lighting, published
in our last issue, was referred to the
committee on lighting In connec-
tion with this subject the mayor sub
mitted a message to the council as
follows:
To the Common Council
GENTLEMEN The contract with the
Wausau Street Railway company for
furnishing electric current to the city
has expired and the company has filed
new schedule of rates. For some
time L have been having an investiga-
uon made of conditions affecting our
relations with the street railway
company and have been trying to
determine some cheaper way of light
ing the streets and the public build
ingS and running the various motors
used by the city.
AT the present time the city owns
its own lines, transformers, lights
and poles and buys current from the
company at the switchboard For
street lighting we pay = Bloc per
Hlowatt; for public buildings we pay
6 cents per kilowatt and for motors
y cents per kilowatt. The total
annual cost for one year is sc, ,l72. 81.
The city is installing at the pump
ing station four large boilers with
great steaming capacity. These boil
ers are in new building north of
and adjoining the present building
and room enough is left to place two
more boilers if needed. The room
now occupied by the old boilers car
later be used for the installation of
a large water pump when the city
needs it, but considerable amount
of room will be left for other pur-
poses. 1t is necessary at this plant
TO carry large head of steam for
instant use in case of emergency and
large part of it might be used for
other purposes without cost.
The question at once comes up to
us of the possibility of using this
steam for generating electricity.
We have made careful estimates
of the probable cost of installing the
necessary engines, generators, ETC.,
for manufacturing our own current,
the additional cost for help and fuel
and the upkeep of the plant. In con-
nection with this we submit table
showing present cost of light and
power by months, total cost, total
kilowatts, etc. This table is attached
to this message and is submitted
herewith.
