THE COURSE OPENS.

The speakers who are to take part
in the farmers course arrived last
night and this morning, and this fore
noon the first session began, with +.
h. Crane of MenOmonie, speaking.
Other speakers on the program for to-
day are L. j. Delwiche of Madison
and Miss Lutte Stearns, also of Madi-
son. A cooking demonstration was
also given by Miss Emma Conley of
this city. Tonight at 500 o'clock
Mr.. Crane will deliver lecture on
Training of the Boy" which it is
hoped will be well attended. It will
be of special interest to parents in
general.
The program during the daylight
hours of each day will be devoted to
the farming interests, but in the
evening lectures will be given which
should interest the city resident as
well, and the conferences for women
each day should be attended by all
women-country and city.
The lecture tomorrow evening, in
the opera house, .'The Farming and
Live Stock of Scotland" by Prof. A.
S. Alexander, is something which we
hope all of our citizens will hear.
This lecture wherever it has been
given is spoken of in the highest
praise. 1t will be illustrated with
stereopticon views and Scotch music.
Farmers began bringing in exhibits
yesterday and the space in the base
ment of the court house will be used
to display them The lectures will be
given in the circuit court room.
The merchants have offered con-
siderable number of prizes, and most.
every exhibitor is liable to get some-i
thing. He will at least get a quart
of seed corn. The display of farm and
garden produce is very good for this
season of the year, and considering
the drought of last year. Competent
judges will be selected and awards
made on the merits of each article.
Some of our enterprising merchants
ought to buy the prize winning vege-
tables for a window display. The
housewives, too, have brought in good
samples of canned fruits, etc.
The attendance this morning was
very good considering that it was the
opening day. Up to noon nearly 200
entries of farm and garden products
had been registered, and the samples
are excellent. The work of registra-
ton is in the hands of students of the
agricultural school. All of the stu
dents will be present at the lectures
given daily.
V. j. Torney, who has farm out
on the Eau Claire river, brought an
exhibit of rutabagas and other pro-
ducts to town this morning, ano in
forms us that he raised one rutabaga
last fall which weighed twenty-eight
pounds. The indications are that
there will be a good attendance at all
the sessions daily. The course has
been well advertised and the farmers
have manifested more interest than
they did when the one was held last
winter.

Wisconsin river and was one of the
first settlers in this part Of the coun-

her roof in earlier days, when methods

now.

A wave of these organizations swept
over Portage county about three

of them are doing business at the
present time. The Custer, Portage

trying TO get their liabilities adjusted.
However, that they do business for
cash only, is commendable feature,
and would be well for local merchants
to sit up and take notice of.

WILL NOT ENTHUSE.

The PILOT has been trying to stir
up little enthusiasm at the south
end of Main, Second, Third and
Fourth streets by suggesting that a
street be opened up across Oak island
to the road that crosses the Wiscon-
sin river at the south, and then to
work for good road to Mosinee. Any
one, with half head, who will look
the situation over, cannot help but
come to this conclusions: That Wau-
sau should have another outlet to the
so7ith besides Grand avenue; that
the only feasible one for the east side
is across Oak island and road on the
west side of the river to the
village of Mosinee. The land
along the west side of the Wisconsin
river clear to Rothschilds is TO be
placed upon the market this spring
and sold, adjacent to the river, in acre
lots. This is but the commencement;
roads are to be laid out, and every
thing made convenient for settlers in
that locality. The mouth of Big Rib
will be bridged sometime and another
bridge built across the Wisconsin
river, probably near the county asylum.
About all of the land from Sturgeon
Eddy road to the Radtke farm on the
east side to Grand avenue has been
sold out in acre lots. Residents there
whenever the Wisconsin river is
bridged, will come to Wausau by the
west side road rather than to go out
to Grand avenue. 1t will be many
years before all this is brought about,
but it will come when the necessities
require.
Some of the business men at the
lower end of Third street say, THE
PILOT wants to prevent the city hail
being built at the end of Third street"
1.-THE PILOT editor is wild, it will
take too much money" coax island
oyertiowS every year, it couldn't be
made into park" ''The grade would
be too steep no one would ever travel
that way" "We will not permit it. :"
Second street business men say:
There is too much of flu and
Fourth street and Main street fellows
believe in letting well enough alone.
So there isn't much use in trying TO
urge an improvement when the bunch
don't want it and haven't an eye TO
their own welfare. Why, even if Oak
and the other islands were made into
beautiful parks in the next twenty
years il would be vast help to liyen
up South Wausau.
What has built up the east side Of
WauSau? Because the main road
south was built on the east side OF
the Wisconsin river, is the main rea-
son. We would suggest to the west
side inhabitants that they take the
project in hand and work for a first
class road TO Mosinee. IF tits possible
to get through Mosinee hills, a road
straight south from the McCleary
bridge would be the cheapest and
most direct and it would vastly aid in
the upbuilding of that part of our
city. BY cooperating with Mosinee
good road can be built. 1t only needs
a little hustling by the business men
of the west side. Half of the road is
already built bat it needs to be put in
shape.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Chas. E. Turner, President Of the Civic
improvement League, Gives Sonae-
thing Tangible to Act Upon.

a great deal has been said the last
few years about how WauSau has in
the past neglected to provide suitable
parks for her peoples enjoyment and
ner own civic beauty. In comparison
with other cities of like population
and Importance. Wausau's city gov
eminent has not done much. Nature
mas done much for Wausau in the
way OF beauty spots, and these natural
parks have been partly at least access
lole TO our citizens, namely: The
lair grounds, Werle's park, for years:
Stewards island, Rothschild, and 9TH
ers. And because we have had these
| natural places we have neglected To
do anything ourselves. But now we
hear sober predictions of the Wausau
q the near future, being a city of
$4,000 to $4,000 population. Isn't it
ABOUT time to wake up on the park
question and outline plan for the
future, that will not waste our ener-
giles or our money. My own opinion
IS we should first employ the services
OF first class landscape architect,
like Manning of Minneapolis, for in
stance, and have him lay out our park
system and furnish plans that would
take care of our necessities for the
next 20 years. Then whatever was
done each year would be working
along definite lines and definite plans,
and at the end of period of years
the beauty of the whole plan would
be realized.
McIndoe park is striking illustra-
tlon of employing an artist to furnish
the plans and then working TO the
plans. We should have a blue print
OF our future parks and then do some
thing each year towards completing
beautiful park system as a whole
Fifty thousand dollars in twenty
years would not be too much to con-
template using for our park system.
Why not for 1911 arrange for the
plans. This surely we can afford 70
do. Let us at least find out what we
ought to do, so far as our parks are
concerned. CHAs. e. TURNER,
Pres. Civic Imp. League

ache and sharp twinges in his sides.
Different kinds Of medicine were tried
but not much benefit was received
until Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
the Pardee Drug Co. we're used.

here. But the Nebraskan is not the
only one who is In this particular
frame Of mind. There are many
dreamers who have not one half the
chance OF Mr.. Bryan. which is not
saying very much, judging from the
manner In which the peerless one has
been treated by both branches of the

representatives Of the people feel that
way toward Mr.. Bryan, the natural
inference is that the people them

However, 1t Is always conceded that
Mr.. Bryan still retains his remarkable
sway over great many democrats

follow that he would stand a better
