The change in the temperature of
the past few days has caused farmers
to bringin a few loads of wood. They
have but a short time longer to sell
it by the load. A state law requires
that in the future all wood must be
sold by the cord or fraction thereof,
and soon all purchasers will measure
wood before purchasing and pay for
just what they get. Further than
that, potatoes, grains, ETC., must be
sold by the standard bushel, contain
ing the required number of pounds.
Since the Yawkey- Bissell Lumber
Co. of this city has about wound up
its affairs in and around Hazelhurst,
the village as a lumber town will
cease to exist. People are moving

will be nothing left but few empty
buildings and the village dog. 1t is
| rumOred that the place is to be made
a summer rresort-that Chicago parties
are planning on building large hotel
there. The village is well Situated
and is in the heart of the fish and
game country.

last week Mrs. Edward Matthias of
the town of Rib Falls, met with
peculiar accident. The COW was
standing in narrow space between
straw stack and barn. A pig which
| had been taking a SnOoZe in tie straw

for the opening between the stack
and barn with the result that Mrs.
Matthias was jammed against the
barn and then knocked down and
trampled on. She suffered a dislO-
Gated shoulder and other injuries.
There is curious state of affairs in
Black River Falls. The people can
not agree upon new town site. 1t
was planned to build another dam
and ill in the washout, but the second
flood of ten days ago carried away
another building and made a larger
| waShOut, and the plan has been aban-
dOned. If the east bank is chosen,
where the land is high, the business
houses would be too far from the
residence district, and to rebuild on
the old site would mean more flood
danger. Wausau people who have
visited what is left of the little CITY
say that the newspapers did not tell
half of the damage wrought to the
town.
1t is now time for the ground to
