STREET PAVING.

Contractor Chris. Johnson expects
to have three blocks of paving COM
pleted this week on the west side OF
Third street. Had it not been for the
delay occasioned by the laying OF
poor lot of cement, which is being
torn up, he says that he would
have had all of that side and several
blocks on the other side done by the
Fourth of July. He feels worried
over the delay, though it is no fault
of his. Samples of the cement and
gravel used have been sent away
to laboratory fer chemical analysis,
to find out what the trouble is. de
saws he never had any trouble with
gravel, though experts claim that
sometimes certain kinds will Affect
cement. He has received several more
car loads of blocks. They are better
quality than those which he has laid'
borrowed from the street car company.

strengthen Wisconsin banks. Com

LOG DRIVING.

A crew of log drivers worked all
day Sunday in bringing a drive down
from Brokaw. The logs belong to
several of the lumber companies in
this city and will give them supply
which will be more than sufficient to
to keep their mills in operation all
summer. The river is very low at
present and to get water to float the
logs down, the guardlock here was
closed and a flood was let out at
Brokaw. For the past several weeks
men have been sorting logs at Brokaw.
The river, for a distance of nearly
three miles above that village, was
filled with logs a few weeks ago, but
they are being thinned out. Wausau
companies still have a quantity. of
logs hung up along the river from
point above Merrill. These will be
driven at the first opportunity.
