WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

If / were q young man would
not stay in the east minute longer
than would be necessary to make
plans for going west,'' said Joseph
McNulty, q contractor Of Chicago. II
would not stop halfway across the
continent, nor would I end my jour-
ney until I reached the Pacific coast.
There is no part Of this great nation
where so much opportunity lies for
the young man as the northwest. He
could make no mistake locating in
Portland, Seattle. or any other part
Of Washington or Oregon. It is the
coming section not only Of the United
States, but Of the world. No more
delightful climate can be found any
whore. and money is being made
startlingly fast.
II know q young newspaper man
who went to Portland q couple Of
years ago who 10 now worth 100000
or more, and he made It by legitimate
speculation. Portland has. doubled in
population in the last few years.
There 10 no doubt that the holding Of
the fair helped that city. and in fact
the whole state Of Oregon. just as the
Seattle fair has helped that city. The
east is all right. but the place for the
young man 10 the west"

-FOUR HUNDRED AND
SEvENTY.F|vE
BIRDS
Fifty One Exhibitors Are TAX.
ing Part, Each With Many
:: Birds

Aristocratic birds held the center
Of the stage at the poultry show
which opened today. 1t is the big
gest, the best and the most en-
thusiastic ever held in the city. All
told there are AIS birds on exhibit
ton and every one of them has
been carefully selected by the own
err and would be entitled to a prize
of merit and not by the selection Of
the best out Of all good things. There
are fifty-one exhibitors in the show.
Mrs. F. G. Mitchell Of Crookston.
Mimi. is the largest exhibitor, hav-
ing thirty-seven birls which include
single comb leghorns, bur leghorns
and coop Of pallis that are genuine
beauties. She has won many prizes
including some gold medals and first
prize at Fargo last year with one Of
the birds now shown in this city. If
1t should not win first prize here it
will be because this show is better
than that at Fargo and the COMPETE
ton greater.
There are few novelties in the
show though there are some game
birls that almost give one the Gu
ban fever. William Boeger has the
greatest curiosity in pair of wild
mallard ducks which he is showing
with commendable pride. He also
has a large number of Plymouth
Rocks.
The birds exhibited include nearly
every profitable and many fancy va
rieties. Among these are barred and
white Plymouth Rocks, light Braha-
mas, white and silver laced Wyan-
dottes, Rhode Island reds. Orphing-
tons, black Minorcas. brown and buff
leghorns, Hamburkers. Houdans,
white Cornish game and others which
only the fancier can name and
classify.
Judging began late this afternoon
and there was the usual study Of each
individual bird by the experts who
weighed. felt feathers, looked at toes,
beak, comb and ether points to de-
termine the score Of the bird.
Secretary Werstlein is as busy as
any man in the city and with his
army Of helpers is seeking to make
every exhibitor feel that Grand Forks
is the best poultry show city in the
northwest and he has little trouble
to establish this fact.
The crowds which are visiting the
show are large. especially when the
other attractions in the city are con-
sidered.

READY FOR OPENING
OF THIRD ANNUAL
BENCH SHOW
Eighty Eight Entries Have
Made Up to This After

With lightweight entries received
up to 8 o'clock this afternoon and
with many more still to come, the
third annual bench show Of the
Grand Forks Kennel club will open
tomorrow at noon. It bids fair to
stand the unchallenged peer Of all
bench shows held in the state and
when the doors are opened to the
public tomorrow the array Of dogs
on exhibit will be just q little better
than anything that the most ardent
worker had reason to hope for.
The New Hampshire building, in
which the bench show is to be found,
is today scene Of activity. Dogs
are arriving hourly, many having
been shipped to the city from out Of
town points, while goodly number
OF dogs that will be exhibited by To-
cal owners have already been given
a place.
This evening the entries will be
closed and 1t will then be known just
how extensive the show, will be-. The
present. entry list will be swelled
very materially by the late entries
this afternoon and evening, and to-
morrow morning. when the dogs are
received, the show place will take on
an appearance Of being Just what II
will be-the best bench show ever at
tempted In North Dakota.
Omcers Of the Grand Forks Kennel
club are enthusiastic over the success
that they have met with and are now
confident Of the complete success OF
the show. The list Of entries insuree
active interest from everybody having
any knowledge Of dogs and that means
that there will be very few who will
not ind an interest In the show.

THE SERGEANT.

a COlOu0l IN the UuIeQ states army
said the other day that the most val
liable officer in regiment is the SER
geant.
He is SO highly priced that when
found he is never promoted, nor Is
he allowed to resign. II he is dis
satisfied with his pay, captain, lieu
tenant and colonel chip in-they can
not afford to lose him. His first re-
quirement is that he must be able to
lick any man in the company. A
drunken private may damn a captain
upside down and wrong side out, and
the captain is not allowed to reply.
Even II q private strike an officer,
the officer Is not allowed to strike
back. We say the revolver equalizes
all men, but 1t doesn't. It is dis
agreeable to shoot man. It scatters
brains and blood all over the side
walk, attracts q crowd. requires q
deal of explanation afterward, and
may cost an officer his stripes. No
good oficer ever hears anything said
about him by a private. The sergeant
hears everything. and his reply to
backslack is straight-arm jab in
the jaw. The sergeant is responsible
only to his captain, and no good cap
tain will ever know anything about
what sergeant does, and he will
not believe 1t when told. II a fight
occurs between two privates, the SER
geant jumps In, bumps their heads
together and ticks them both. II q
man feigns sick. or is drunk. the SER
geant chucks him under the pump
The regulations do not call for any
such treatment, but the sergeant does
not know anything about the regula-
tions-he gets the thing done. The
sergeant is q father to his men. He
regards them all as children-bad
boys-and his business is to make
soldiers. The sergeant is always the
first man up in tho morning. the last
to go to bed at night. He knows
where his men are every minute Of
the day and night. He knows every
thing, and nothing. No wild escapade
Of higher oficer passes by him. yet
he never tells.
In time Of actual fight he trans
forms towards into heroes. He holds
his men up to the scratch. In battle
there are at times certain officers
marked for death-they are to be
shot by their own men. It Is time
Of getting even, and In the hurly-
burly and excitement there are no
witnesses. The sergeant is ever on
the lookout for such mutinies, and
his revolver often sends to the dust
tho head revolutionary before the
wastardly plot can DO carried out.
In business life, tho man with the
sergeant instincts 10 much more val
liable than in the army. The BUSH
ness sergeant il the man not In evil
dence-who asks for no compliments
or bouquets, who knows where things

sATuRpAY. MAY rs. 1812.

The Madison State Journal con-
Ualned an article relating to a trip into
Northern Wisconsin and to Wausau
Which was published in the Pilot on
Uhe above date, and we give brief
synopsis of the same:
A weary ride of forty miles across
dusty and sandy road along the Wis
consln river brought us to Wausau.
There is one redeeming quality about
une ride from Stevens Point to this
place: The stages are very easy riding,
the driver courteous and obliging,
and the horses fairly prance in the
harness. The stage line is owned and
run by Mr.. Cameron. ~ No place
that | have visited this season ex-
hlblted any more evidence of prosper
10, Than Wausau, or where the trad
ers appear 80 be doing oet5er business.
Wausau bas laid aside the title of
village, and has donned more be-
coming name of city-having secured
the city charter the past winter. 1t
is the county seat of Marathon county,
the largest county in the state, and is
bounded on the north by the state
line, on the east by Clark, Chippewa
and LaPointe. 1t was organized Feb.
9,slS50 y + OF the water power too
much cannot be said in praise, as it
ls.almost unlimited in extent. For
several miles there is one continual
faal OF water among which the name
Bull largely predominates. There
isF'Grandfather Bull, " "Jenny Bull, ,"
Little Bull" and "Bull Junior"
this place being situated upon "Big
Bull, Z which furnishes the city with
first class water power. The princi
pal tributaries discharging their
waters into the Wisconsin within the
limits of Marathon county, are on the
west, Squirrel river, Spirit, New
Wood, Big Rib, Big Eau Pleine and
Little Eau Pleine rivers. The city of
Wausau was plated in 1859. Tncor-
porated village in 1862, and from the
legislature last winter received it's
charter 1t has three Thousand |
inhabitants. The trade here amounts
to many hundreds of thousands of
dollars per annum. The sales of
James McCrossen, general dealer,
amounted to $4,000 the past year,
and there are a number of firms do
ing equally as large business, ~
The railroad propositions of Wausau
Are bright and promising. The Wis
sG%Esn Central has proposed building
a road from Portage City to Wausau,
via Stevens Point. Marathon county
has voted $250OO0, the company
asking of the county along the pro-
posed line S650,000 as the condition
for building. Not all of the counties
along the route have voted yet, con-
sequently nothing definite is known
Wausau has two banking houses,
one conducted by Silyerthorn & Plum
er, and the other by j. A. Farnham.
We had an interesting talk with
Mr. Farnham, who is an old resident
and probably no man is better ac
quainted with locations of land in

CITY COUNCIL.

At the meeting of the city council
which was held last Tuesday, property
owners on Washington street, be-
tween Third and Fourth, asked that
their block be paved with vitrified
brick. The council had previously
provided for creosoted block pave
ment, but inasmuch as the property
owners desired brick, the petition
was granted.
Plats of j. II. Koehler's, j. p.
Werle's and Pleasant View Park adj
ditions to the city were held over un-
til the next meeting.
Orders were given to have the alley
back of the Irving school cleared of
wood piles, ETC., and opened to traffic.
A resolution was offered providing
that the city's pest house be repaired
and leased for residence purposes.
This was opposed and was referred
to the committee on health, which
will report at the next meeting.
The Columbia band petitioned the
council to take another squint at
what it did at the last meeting in
reference to band concerts. The sum
of $500 was appropriated to Cones
band for ten concerts. The members
of the Columbia band believe they
are just as big toads as the other
fellows and are entitled to slice OF
the Watermelon. The matter was
refcrrei to the committee on finance.
ScotG street property owners petit
toned for the installation of an orna-
me1tal lighting system, of the same
general design as that on Third street.
The petition was granted, and the
board of public works was instructed
to order material for conduits on that
street.
1t was ordered that phone be
placed and maintained in the home
of Frank Zielsdorf, chief of the fire
department.
The sum Of $50 was appropriated to
meet the expense of the chiefs OF the
fire and police departments in attend
ing conventions this season.
The assessment TO be levied against
property owners on Third street, to
meet the expense of the re-paying,
was adopted.
The mayor announced the appoint
mont of Mrs. Agnes Murray as a
member of the library board. She
viii ill the place made vacant by
Mrs D. L. Plumer. whose term ex-
pired.
A resolution recently passed author
izing the printing Of tie council pro-
ceedings in pamphlet form was re-
pealed.
Managers of the Electric and Males
tic theatres petitioned the council fol
a lower rate of license This they
! did because of a limited seating
