PAY BIG SUM FOR WOOD
A REASON FOR RAPID CLEARING
OF LAND IN THIS VI
CINITY.
GREAT HELP TO LA0YSMITH
Menasha Paper Co. Now Paying Out
$4,000 a Month for Poverty
Wood.

One of the greatest helps toward
the clearing of the cut-over lands
tributary to Ladysmith is the pur-
chase by the Menasha Paper Co. Of
the vast quantity of poverty wood
which that concern is using for fuel.
This wood is absolutely worthless for
anything else, and it must be gotten
rid of before the farmer can raise
any crops on the land. In most local
tiles the removal of this dead, rotten
wood means the expenditure of con-
siderable labor for which there is no
return save in getting the land clear
ed. In the vicinity of Ladysmith, a
farmer can clear his land of this
trash and actually make good wages
while he is doing SO. Many of them
are hiring it done and still make a
profit, besides the profit resulting
from the increased value of his
land
The purchase of poverty wood by
this company is one of the principal
reasons why the land around Lady
smith is being cleared up so rapidly.
And the city of Ladysmith as well
as the farmers in it's vicinity must
reap considerable benefit from the
$4,000 a month paid out here for
this wood by the Menasha Paper Co.

pEACANNERY PROSPECT
NEW INDUSTRY is ASSURED IF
ENOUGH ACREAGE CAN BE
SECURED.
WOULD Be BIG HELP TO The CITY
Location of Such a Factory Here
Would Also Be a Great Boon
To The Farmers.

If sufficient acreage can be Sc
cured, it is practically assured that
a pea canning factory will be built
in Ladysmith this coming summer.
An Indiana concern, rated by Dunn
at half million, has had a repres-
antative here and was very favorably
impressed by his report The only
thing that remains to be done is to
get 500 acres pledged for raising
peas, and it is thought the farmers
will realize the benefit such a fac
tory would be to them and do their
part
Such a factory would be worth
more to Ladysmith and the surround
ing country than a good sized manu-
featuring plant and would assist
greatly in the development of the
agricultural resources of this sec
lion. 1t is hoped the farmers will
respond readily and they will find
the raising of peas very profitable.
Those interested can talk to any
OF the following gentlemen who will

LADYSM|TH CONCERT Band
GETS new INSTRUMENTS

l.. H. Hanson, of Chetek, local rep
reser: :ative for the HOltOn band in
strun ants, was called here by re-
quest of the Ladysmith Concert band
who wished to purchase new instru-
ments
Mr. Hanson was here this week
and met with the boys at their regu-
lar rehearsal Tuesday evening, at
which time several new instruments
were arranged for. Perhaps the most
important one was the fine new tuba
purchased by the band as an organ
ization, and which cost nearly $4,000
Other instruments will be purchased
by individual members, some of
whom now have them on trial. The
instruments are baritone, two cor
nets, saxaphone and slide trombone.
This makes a total of over $4,000
which the band boys are assuming
at this time and will certainly be a
great Improvement to that organiza-
ton.
An investment of this amount
means a stronger and more perman-
ent band and we feel it will be great
ly appreciated by the business men
and citizens of this city, who should

FAAST CO.'S EXPERIMENTAL FARM
Another Interesting Letter From
Pen of Our Staff Correspondent,
James Farley, Of conrath.

The experimental farm of the Faast
Land Co, located two miles south >of
the village of Conrath, is a monu-
ment to what can be done with land
in the vicinity of the above-named
village. While the state experimental
farm is located within the village
limits and giving grand results, a
recent visit to the Faast Land Co.'S
farm showed us that the state farm,
which is operated to produce pure
bred seed, grows larger variety of
plants, yet those shown us at the
Faast farm compare favorably with
the same variety grown on the state
farm.
Among the many good moves made
by this land company for the advance
ment of Rusk county, this farm and
the improvements thereon is one Of
note. They have erected a dwelling
that would be a credit to any town

AN EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Prompt Work of The Fire Depart
ment Prevents Serious Damage.

Brockbank's restaurant, at the
rear of Tom Bakers. place, was the
scene of an early morning fire Tues
day. The cause of the fire is not
definitely known, but it is thought
that Goals may have fallen from the
heating stove, as the fire started in
the floor in front of it,
After burning through the floor
the fire was getting headway in the
basement when Night Officer McNall
discovered smoke coming from the
building. Despite the extreme cold
and early hour five o'clock the fire
men turned out quickly and had water
on the blaze seven minutes after the
alarm was turned in. The fire was
quickly put out and the damage done
was small, being estimated by Mr..
Brockbank at $125.00.,
Mr.. Brockbank opened up for busi-
ness the next day.

Last Friday night, Jan. 5, while
a Chicago & Great Western passen-
ger train was about fourteen miles
from Red Wing, three cars were de-
rallied by a broken rail, the engine
and baggage car passing over all
right, but the ladies' coach, the diner
and another coach were thrown into
the embankment and the passengers
were badly shaken and bruised.
DR.. w. L. Stephenson, of this city,
was a passenger and escaped with
a sprained ankle and bruised leg.
This however did not hinder him
from giving immediate attention to
those who were more seriously hurt,
of which there were six or seven,
but none were seriously injured
At the point of the wreck there
was an embankment Of about thirty
feet high against which the coaches
were jammed and on the other side,
amost direct from the end of the
ties was a drop of about thirty feet
into the river The passengers were
indeed very grateful that this was
not the side of the track on which
they were thrown.
The piece of the rail that was
broken out was about ten feet in
length and was found between the

IADYSM|TH MAN HURT
IN PASSENGER WRECK

naturally expect from the flange Of
the wheels being on the inside
After the excitement had quieted
a little, the injured, having been
cared for by Dr. Stephenson, were
placed in the baggage car and taker
to a hospital at Red Wing where
everything was done for their com
fort and care. Besides the six or
seven seriously injured ones, there
were about twenty-five who were
quite badly bruised and shaken.
While it was quite cold, the pass
engers suffered very little as within
an hour and a half all had been
cared for and were on their way to
their destinations.
This is very dangerous part in
the road as frequent wrecks occur
here and it is reported that about
a month ago an engine tipped here
killing the engineer. The continued
cold no doubt was the direct cause
of the break in the rail. That none
were killed at this time is indeed for
tunate.
The train was fairly we'll filled and
it seems almost a miracle that results
were not more serious.
DR.. Stephenson arrived home Mon
day night and at the present time is
but little the worse for his injuries.

Nearly fifty Beavers and Queens
were in attendance at the annual in
stallation of the Ladysmith Colony

was present and presided at the

was duly received by them and Sec
retary LaidlaW read the letters from
their secretaries expressing their
gratitude for the fraternalism shown
in this, their time of need.
Mr.. Burns acted as installing Off
Ger and appointed Beaver Henrick-
son as marshal to assist him in his
work.
After this part was finished, Beav-
er Burns gave a short talk on the
progress, fraternalism and duties of
the B. r. f. F. as a society. 1t is
banner year thus far in the history
of the organization and are planning
to soon branch out in other territory,
where no effort has yet been made
to solicit members
The change to twelve assessments
year a few months ago has put
this organization on a stronger, if
possible, basis than formerly when
there were seven or eight, and busi
ness men are now becoming members
who refused to take policies before.
They do not claim the cheapest IN
surance nor the best, but they do
claim, under all due consideration,
to have the cheapest and best pro-
lection for the policy holders of any
insurance organization

were concluded with the charge to

themselves this duty where a Beaver
never wavers. After the feast the

the ladies of the w r. C. served an

wives were invited and which all en-
loved to the fullest extent
Among the interesting events of
the evening were addresses de-
livered by two members of the G.
A. R., Col. w. c. Gerard and Mr..
John Corbett. These gentlemen hon
ored the country with their services
and also did honor to themselves in
the delivering of the speeches.
Ladysmith is indeed fortunate in
having for it's citizens men and wom-

take such interest in their Post and
Corps work, and also the younger
men who encourage them with the

other organizations to keep their mem
ory fresh in the minds of the COM

Government Telephone Ownership a
Failure.

Failure.
Those who lock to government own
ership of public utilities as a panacea
for some of the ills we have, can
hardly point with pride to Manitoba.
Not SO far, at least, as the telephone
system is concerned A few years
ago the government purchased the
property of the private telephone
company and the operation of the
Manitoba system for the year 1911,
under government control, will show
loss of nearly $150,000 The result
is that in Winnipeg, the largest city
in that part of the country, the rates
will have to be increased so per cent.
A telephone commission has spent
four years in studying rates and con-
ditions in Manitoba and other parts
of the world and the conclusion of
the commission is that telephone
service should be furnished on a
measured service plan, SO that the
user may pay for his telephone SER
vice in accordance with the use he
makes of it, the same as gas, cleo
trio light, water, and the street car.
