MILL MAY GO TO APPLETON
Commercial Club Plans to Erect
$4,000 Building for Use of Gov
ernment's Pulp Experts.

Appleton.-H. Stanley Bristol of
Madison, of the United States fores-
try department at the state UNIVERSE
ty, has been in Appleton in consulta-
ton with officers of the commercial
club for the purpose Of determining
whether the proposed pulpwood ex-
perimental station to be established
by the government is to be located
in this city.
About year ago Mr.. Bristol Wis
tied Appleton with a view to securing
a building in which to install the ex-
detrimental station. At that time it
was the intention of the government
to purchase or lease a building on the
local waterpower, and it was believed
the plant would be located in the Pat
ten pulp mill.
It developed later, however, that
the appropriation for the establish
ment of the station was not sufficient
and for that reason the department
at Madison has been dickering since
for a building to be provided by the
city and rented by the government
The necessary building, it is esti-
mated, will cost about $4,000.
Officers Of the Commercial club
believe they have devised a plan
whereby the building can be fur
nished.

$4,000 VOLTS ARE NOT FATAL
PlatteviIle Mining Student Receivers
After Receiving Heavy Electric
Charge Through BODY,

Elliot Mcmillan re-
ceived a 1000 volt electric charge
at the electrostatic ore separating
plant hee and was able to play a
game Of billiards a short time after.
He brought his hand near one of the
high voltage separators and the cur
rent broke from the machine, pass
ing through his body and leaving
through his foot. A fellow work
man broke the circuit and Mcmillan
fell unconscious to the floor, the
workmen of the plant believing him
dead. In a few minutes, however,
he suddenly sat up, and was found
uninjured except in his hand and
foot.
The hand the current entered was
badly burned, and the foot through
which the current left was likewise
burned, and the shoe torn off and a.
hole in the big toe through which
the current left the size of ten
penny nail. Mcmillan is a student
in the mining school here, and his
home is in California.
