THE 0'DAY POSTOFFICE

The office is located at what all
Wisconsin valley people know as
Grandfather Falls. The postoffice has
been named in honor of Hon. John
ODay, of this city, and a more ap-
propriate name could not have been
found, nor the honor more worthily
bestowed. Of all the lumbermen liv-
ing in the Wisconsin, valley at the
present time, Mr.. O'Day has been
identified with as much of the diver
sified industries of northern Wiscon-
sin, as any other man.-Merrill Daily

the grand stand and $500 for a dia-
mond When this amount is subscribed
articles of incorporation will be drawn
up and the association viii be incor-
porated.
Other members of the soliciting com
mittee will get to work before next
Thursday night and get parties to
subscribe for the remaining amount of
stock. Then they can incorporate
and get down to actual business of
building their park. Another meet
ing of the stockholders will be called
for next Thursday evening at. the
city hall Twenty per cent of the
stock has to be paid at once, and the
remaining at later dates.
Quite a little talk was heard at
the meeting in regard. to baseball to
be furnished the people of this county
during the, coming season. After
the amount above mentioned is sub
scribed the baseball association gets
two donations from business concerns
in the city amounting to $3.50. They
expect to get a first-class team to-
gether, hiring enough men to assist
the home players in making an Al
team for the county.
Relative to a manager little discus
sion was heard, although they pro-
pose to hire one. 1t has been sug
gested that Ovid Belanger manager of
the Amusement Hall, be hired to act
as manager. He has had considera-
BILE baseball experience, and some
are of the opinion that he would be
the right man for the place.
