THE BRIDGES.

The Tannery bridge contractors
have encountered rock in the bed of
the river IN sinking the tubular
piers which will delay work. as
much dynamiting will have to be
done. The tubes are to be filled with
| concrete. The west abutment, which
was wrecked, is completed. The east
ern abutment is intact, but needs re-
pairs. The ironwork is ready to be
put in place as soon as the piers are
installed.
When the bridge is fully completed
it will be seventy feet long and four
feet higher than the former structure.
Total length of bridge will be 30
feet. The roadway between the Tan
merry and Stroller's bridges is being
raised four feet higher than formerly,
to prevent repetition OF being washed
out, and is to be filed and macadam-
lied.
The repairs on Stroller's bridge
is nearly completed and it will be
ready in about a week for travel in
visiting the Stewart island.
The Scott street bridge, or high
bridge, is progressing finely and the
pier, abutment and filling are COM
pleted and work is now going on IN re-
building the broken span. A tempor-
airy frame work has been erected on
/ which to lay the iron for the new
span. Part of the iron work is on
the ground and the balance to follow
Immediately. The contractors ex-
pect to have the structure ready for
travel this week. The Wausau Iron
Works is repairing the three bridges,
mentioned above.
The city is doing the work in re-
building the Leahy 81 Beebe bridge
which will be completed for travel
within few days. The work is in

kidney trouble froll which he ha6
been sufferer the two or three weeks;

While a resident of that place ne was

continuously in Merrill for thilty-ons
years. Following the vocation of
jeweler all these years, while he had
not aspired to become merchant
prince, he had founded a reputation
for honesty and uprightness among
men that was more precious than
rubies, and much more to be desired
than fine gold His life was one that
won for him the lasting respect and
esteem of ALA successful life.
AS charter member of Virginia

and also member OF Merrill Chap
ter, No. Y, r. A. NJ, he found mucn

COLONEL GEO. w. BIRD.

The following tribute was paid to
The late George w. Bird by John A f.
Aylward, as published in the Wiscon-
sin State Journal:
Colonel Birds death brings us
back to the founding of the city, and
illustrates how new and short-lived
we are. His boyhood days were spent
In Madison, then q struggling, strug-
CLING country village. We all know
the Brayton School, and wonder
whence its name. Colonel Bird at
tended school under Madison's first
school teacher, Miss Brayton, who
subsequently, as Mrs. Sawin, became
his devoted mother-in-law. This good
woman still leads an active life in the
home of the late Colonel Bird.
The school children of New Orleans
yearly go in gay procession, and lay
garlands of flowers on the MacDon-
ough statue. Why should not our
children lay garlands at the feet of
Mrs. sSawin?
Colonel Bird was one of that splen-
did, growing generation of men who
believe that the greatest thing in life
is not to make money, but that they
owe a duty to their country and the
state in which they live.
Colonel Bird graduated from the
University in 1860; and instead of
setting out Immediately to make a
fortune, he, with his illustrious school
mates, Colonel John G. Spooner,
Colonel Villas, and Colonel James
High, entered the army in defense of
the best country God has made. Here
he rose to the rand of second lieuten-
ant of Company ID, 10th regular in
fantry.
Colonel Bird, for a long term of
years, was justly recognized as one of
the leading lawyers of the state. He
possessed in marked degree the
fundamental qualifications for law
yer: learning, judgment, industry and
courage. He was clean, upright, and
honest, in public and in private life.
He took deep interest in the affairs
of state. In politics he was an un-
compromising democrat of the old
school, and was long one of the lead
ers and counselors of his party. AS
the Wilson sentiment deepened and
broadened, he gloried in the fact that
he would live to see another demo-
cratic president, but it was willed
otherwise.
Colonel Bird was unique character.
Despite his years, he retained the
freshness and buoyancy of youth. He
was a welcome guest and boon
companion. He was a loyal, loving
husband and father. The world is
better because he lived"

BURN FALLEN LEAVES.

The following letter from L. R.
Jones, plant pathology expert of the
college of agriculture at Madison to
F. P. Stone of this city, in reference
to scabby elm leaves, is herewith pub
lished in full:
Madison, Sept. IT, 1912.
Mr.. E. P. Stone, Wausau, Wis.
Dear Sir: Your card of recent date
to Professor Milward with diseased
elm leaves is handed to me for reply.
Most Of your elm leaves show the
disease known as the elm leaf spot.
This is caused by fungus (dothidella)
which shows as small scab-iike spots.
In order that you may recognize it 1
am returning one of the leaves cov-
cred with this. This fungus lives
over winter on the fallen leaves upon
which it fruits next spring and the
spores again infect the young elm
leaves on the trees above.
The simplest way to combat it
therefore, is to rake up and burn the
fallen leaves this autumn. Cultivat-
ing the ground next spring if begun
very early might serve the same pur-
pose, but if these trees are lawn trees
the raking and burning is the simplest.
Spraying could of course, be resorted
to as supplementary remedy on
trees that are of moderate size. AS
matter of fact, however, if you clean
up your elm leaves and the trees are
in reasonable condition the damage
will not be at all serious.
l note, however, that there is some
following on some of the leaves. This
is not caused by any disease in the
leaves themselves. 1t may possibly
be due to some weakness in certain
branches, in which case, top pruning
or root fertilization is probably all
that is necessary.
Very truly yours,
L. r. JONES.

county and the state, and the un-
fiinching manliness, with which he
has opposed every scheme Of unjust
legislation, prompted his friends and
admirers to unite in procuring tes-
timonial of their regard, an elegant
watch, valued at s25O.O0. A party of
friends repaired to his residence in
the evening of the day of his return
and after the usual greetings, Hon.
B. G. Plumer arose and said "Judge
Ringle, / have been chosen by your
numerous friends to welcome you
home from your arduous labors as the
representative of the people of this
district. In the state assembly for
the manner in which you have dis
charged your duties while at the capi-
tol and in appreciation of your many
public services, we desire to present
and beg you to accept as the testi-
monial of their kind feelings this
watch, only asking that while you
note upon its face the flight of time,
that you will cherish the memory of
the givers"
Judge Ringle was completely taken
by surprise and for moment was at
a loss what to say. In reply his sub
stance was as follows: Gentlemen
and friends, l have only done my
duty and surely | have tried to do no
less. / did not expect any such move
on the part of my friends, and now,
while l appreciate fully the value of
your gift, / accept it with more graf
itude for the feeling which prompted
it, than for the present itself /
trust, gentlemen, that those friendly
feelings may continue unruffied and
sincere until we shall have passed
from our labors and duties here to
peaceful rest in the hereafter"
For an hour after the party enjoyed
a social visit with the judge and his
family. When they made their adieus
only regretting that Il. B. Mathews
of Jenny, M. P. Beebe and n. T.
Kelly and others of his friends who
desired to be there were unable to
do so.
On the evening of March 13, 1876,
