L. A. Pradt spent part of the past
week in Antigo, in prosecution of the
case of Wm. Dodge VS.. the John Kauf-
man Co. The plaintiff, while at work
in the defendants mill near Phlox
, last February, had his skull crushed
and was otherwise injured. He
brought suit for $4,000 damages,
claiming that the slab chute, which
caused the injury, was too low.
The county board committee on
poor on Saturday last furnished free
transportation to Tomahawk for a
family recently located in this city.
III. W. McCourstland, young man
twenty-seven years of age, was found
without any means of support for his
family, which consisted of his wife
and one child. Sickness in the family
had reduced the mans finances to
that stage where it was necessary
that he receive public charity.
A local sheet, in an article capped
with big inky heading, few days
ago announced a wonderful discovery.
1t was no less than the fact that the
paper mill owners experimental plant
in Wausau has determined that pa
per can be made of hemicck. Other
papers, printed outside the paper
mill district, have copied from the
announcement, and in most cases
have added little to it. If the same
sheet had said that coal had beer dis
covered in Pennsylvania it would
have been no less startling. Any
school boy knows that hemlock has
been used for paper making for de-
cade The mills in Brokaw have
been fed almost exclusively with hem
lock ever since they were built. The
millions of feet of hemlock logs
stacked up in the yards of the Mara
thon Paper Co. and the Wausau Sui
pilates Fibre Co. were not purchased
for the purpose of saving them into
lumber or for fuel purposes. Give 1t
to us in smaller doses, please.

the first purchase of lands in this
section of Wisconsin from the
Indians was in 1885 by Henry Dodge,
Gov. OF Wisconsin. 1t was six miles
wide along Jhe Wisconsin river and
from Point Bas, extended up stream
40 miles. 1t was bought for the pur-
pose of opening it up to lumbermen.

the one conducted last winter, which
was a success in every detail. A
great many people from Wausau at

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
CENTRAL THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO

I far away" Mosinee was named
after an Indian chief of the Chippewa
| tribe. The first settlement at Jenny
vas in 1917 by Andrew Warren Jr.,
who built the dam across the river
| there and built saw mill. The rest
of the land in Marathon county was
purchased from the Indians in 1S48.
The first settlement west of the Wis.
river was made by the Germans in
1857. At Marathon the settlers
came from Pitts5urg, Pa. They
settled in T. % ranges 4, and
6. The first to come were Francis
Tigges, Anthony Koester, Joseph
Hostler and NJ Halkowitz. The first
named and family arrived at Mara
thon on Tuesday April 2, 1857. Mr..
Koester, on the 18th of April, 1857,
and Mr.. Halkowitz in May, 1857. The
Irish settlement west of Little Bull
was begun in 1860. The Lutheran
settlements in Stettin and Berlin,
a few years later. Marathon Co. was
organized in 1850, when Wausau be-
came the county seat. In 1857 Wau-
sau had houses and 6 shanties,
stores; in 1870, the population
was 1919 In 1872 it became a
city, by act of legislature. The
community adopted the act April
2, 1872, and the city organized April
10, 1872. In 1873 the area of the
city was enlarged making it two miles
square. In 1873 the population was
$500.
Marathon county was set off from
Portage Co., in 1850. In 1870 there
was no railroad within no miles of
Wausau and goods had to be drawn
this distance in tire winter time. In
the summer, goods came to CLIPS
Landing on the Wolf river, 80 miles
distant. The first railroad into the
county was in spring of 1872.
Rev. p McKim has been secured to

Ihe villages OF Athens, Edgar, Mos
inee, Stratford and Unity maintain
high schools. Hatley, Schofeld and
Spencer support graded schools, re-
ceiving $500 state aid. Elderon, Fen
wood, Marathon, Norrie, Moon, EN-
met No. 3 and Wausau No. main
tain graded schools of the second
class which receive 5000 state aid.
Mr.. Pivernetz states that the peo-
pie as rule all over the county favor
good school buildings, and cites the
$4,000 new building in Schofield as
an example. Six new school buildings
were erected the past year and others
were remodeled. In rebuilding, the
rule is to build of solid brick, and
equip with furnace.
The county schools are divided into
two classes. The first class schools
are the ones which have met the re-
quirements of a state law passed in
1907 and have provide dan approved
system of heating and ventilation.
There are 125 such schools in the
county, and they receive $3.50 state
aid. Since the compulsory education
al law was passed in 1907 school at
tendance has increased from 67 per
cent. in 1908 to 90 per cent. in 1911.
The superintendent visited every
school in the county but two, which
closed before he could get around TO
them. Twenty schools were inspected
second time making 25S visits all
told in seven and one-half months.
To do this it was necessary for the
superintendent to travel l,720 miles
by team and 700 by rail.
The superintendent says that there
are three problems to be worked out:
First, how to prevent efficient teach
ers from leaving the work and enter
ing other fields. Second, how to make
the school house social centre, as it
was in the years gone by. Third, how
TO make the work of the country
school more practical.
During the year nearly 700 boys and
girls entered the corn-growing contest
and prizes amounting to $50 were
awarded.
In conclusion, Mr.. Pivernetz calls
attention to recent legislation rela-
tive to county schools. One chapter
provides that every school house
shall be thoroughly cleaned before
the opening of a term. Another per
mits the use of the school house for
all such civic, social or recreational
meetings as do not interfere with the
use of building for school purposes
Another provides that children living
more than two miles from the school
in their district may attend the near
est school in another district, their
own district being compelled to pay
their tuition, not to exceed sl.00 pel
month for rural school or sl.75 for a
state graded school.

ARE DISCUSSED

The mass meeting held at the
Bonde Hall last Monday night for
the purpose of discussing the sewer
question drew large crowd of re-
preventative citizens, and after the
plans had been discussed by Prof.
Frederic Bass of the State Board Of
Health, City Engineer Rowat and
others. resolution was adopted en-
dorsing the plan which is now be-
fore the city council. This pro-
vides for two publication plants,
one near the lake and another in
the south part of the city. These
plants will consist of settling tanks
and filters and a pumping station
to elevate the sewage into the tanks
will be. maintained at each place,
electric power to be used. The
plans provide adequate sewer mains
so that any street in the city may
construct laterals into the same.
The estimated cost of the system is
placed at $30.000.00. The propo:
sition will be voted on at some date
after the regular annual elec-
tion, at a special election called
for that purpose. The Tribune
will publish map next week show:

mains will extend. -...,.-; :.
