MASTER PLUMBERS HOLD
MEETING HERE.

The Central Wisconsin Benevolent,
Social and Sanitary club was organ
lied here last Thursday at meeting
of Master Plumbers of the various
cities of central Wisconsin, called to-
gether for that purpose. The follow
ing officers were elected: President,
Edw. L. Pine, Wausau; vice-presi-
dent, j. E. Farley, Grand Rapids;
secretary, H. J. Finch, Stevens Point;
treasurer, Geo. Meekma, Rhinelander.
The object of the new organization
is to have all master plumbers
cooperate with the city officials in
obtaining better sanitary conditions
in cities, in regard to plumbing and
drainage of private and public places.
The chief aim is to secure the
appointment of an official in each
city, whose duty it shall be to inspect
all plumbing work done, and see to it
that the same is up to the standard
required by the laws governing sani-
tatiCn. Geo. +. Reeke Of Green Bay,
Presi5, mt of the Master Plumbers as
sociation of this state, gave very in
teresting talk on the necessity of such
an official

WISCONSIN TO BE INDICATED.

The Evening Wisconsin some time
ago called attention to the dissatis-
faction aroused by the statement re-
ferring to farming in northern Wis
consin in the advancement bulletin of
the census on Wisconsin agriculture.
John P. Hume, manager of the Wis
consin Advancement association,
made trip to Washington recently,
taking with him an overwhelming
supply of facts and figures to show
that, instead of being unavailable for
agriculture, the areas in the northern
part of Wisconsin are peculiarly and
specially suited to general farming,
dairying, and the successful produc-
tion of many special crops. Mr.. Hume's
supply of evidence so fully established
all the points of superior farming op-
portunities in the upper Wisconsin
countries that the.director of the CEN
sus gave assurances that the final
addition of the census will do full
Justice to. Wisconsin.

NOT A RESIDENT OF WAUsAU.

James Garland, who was electrocuted
by coming in contact with live wire
at the plant of the Wausau Sulphite
Fibre Co., on Sunday Dec. 3lst, was
not a member of the Jos. Garland
family so well known in the pinery
for many years back. The New North
of Rhinelander publishes the follow
ing brief history of the young man:
"The body accompanied by several
fellow employees, arrived in Rhine
lander, Monday night. The funeral
took place at $50 O'Clock Wednesday
morning from st. Mary's church, Rev.
Father Bertram officiated.
James Garland was one of the well
known young men of this city and
had passed the greater portion of his
life here. He was twenty-nine years
of age. In recent years he followed
electrical work and spent much of his
time away from home. He had been
in Mosinee since early in 1911, and
was considered very efficient en-
plOye. His always genial disposition
won for him friends wherever he
went
Aside from his parents, Mr.. Gar
land is survived by three sisters, Gen.
eyieve and Valley Garland of this
city, and Mrs. Ella Mosher of Mil
waukee. The family have the SYM
pathy of all in their great grief.

HE'S IN A HURRY TO
SECURE STAR DICTIONARY
And to Hasten Is Wisdom, for They
Won't Last Forever.

See that man running down the
street Seems to be in terrible hurry
doesn't he? No, he's not running to
catch train. But if you intend to
get one of those Pilot dictionaries
you'll do well to emulate that mans
example and run all the way to the
PILOT office as he is doing. They
are going fast and the second big
supply may be exhausted this week,
through the heavy inroads made on
it by the general demand for the
book from all over the city and from
the surrounding country as well.
The fame of the Pilot educational
campaign is daily spreading and let
ters of congratulations for the papers
enterprise, as well as letters of salts
faction over the worth of the diction-
airy, are coming into the PILOT office
in scores. And in every one of them
is evinced the same spirit-that of
belief that this paper is doing the
people of Wausau and vicinity great
service in its presentation of the New
Standard Webster's Dictionary in re-
turn for only the little coupon which
appears on another page and the ex-
pense bonus which is SO cents.
The book which you can get for 90
cents is bound in full limp leather,
flexible, stamped in gold on back and
sides, printed on Bible paper, with
red edges and corners rounded, as
strong and durable a volume, as you
could desire. Make up your mind
soon. The chance won't last forever.

WISCONSIN THE BEST EVER.

The fact that the recent irrigation
congress in Chicago was fiat failure
and that ''dry farming has been too
dry several years in succession, indi-
cate that Wisconsin is about to come
in for her proper share of develope-
ment. We have the best resources any
how.
Many Wisconsin farmers who have
heard so much about the productive
ness of the irrigated states will be
surprised to hear that an acre each of
corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye and fax
is of greater value in Wisconsin than
in the irrigated states, and the Wis
consin farmer does not have to buy
water nor lead it around in little creek
lets over his farm with hoe and rub
ber boots and bad temper. Compar-
ing Wisconsin's 1911 crop with that of
Colorado and taking the November
farm value of each as shown by the
u. S. Crop Reporter, the aggregate
value of an acre each OF the above
mentioned crops is more than $40
greater in Wisconsin than in Colora-
do. The statistical department of
the Wisconsin Advancement Associa-
tion will soon have the figures worked
out as applying TO the other irregated
states and this comparison will be the
best of reasons why the Wisconsin
farmer should be satisfied that he To-
Gated in the right state.-Forest Coun-
ty Republican.

FIRE AT ST. JOHNS INFIRM.
AIRY.

A fire at st. Johns Infirmary on
Scott street was the cause of run
by the fire department in the early
morning of last Friday, and in spite
of the extreme cold the department
succeeded in making short work of
the blaze, which threatened to de-
stroy the whole building. Miss Helen
w. Harring, head nurse of the insti-
tuition, who was alone in the building
at the time, was awakened about 1:30
o'clock by the smoke in the house,
and she called the fire department by
telephone. The southside of build
ing was burning quite briskly on the
outside and. the flames were eating
their way into the house when the
department arrived. Hot ashes
thrown against the building evident
ly caused the fire. The damage done
to the building and contents by the
fire and smoke amounts to about $3.50.

Anong the many who ,yended there.
was one who filled an editors chair:
And as he thought of the coming feast,
His spirits rose as rises yeast.
Oh that weddsng feast.
And thoagh he dined with right good zest.
He sighed fir the goodies he loved the best:
For eating good Srppers delighted him more
Than gliding with laPieS across the floor,
Oh that wedding feast
At length came saund most welcome to hear.
And the music sweet it fell on his ear
Then away he ran. and then began
1,;lt Each % dainty to spy, each dish to scan;
The fruit cake and turkey ?ust took his eye
And of these supply he laid close by,
oh the wedding feast.
OF all the things he heartilo ate.
Till seeing all done, he said oh don't watt
SO leave me alone and make your retreat"
oh the wedding feast.
But fearful lest ne should DER tax himself.
The guests still fingered around the shelf
So sliding down he tried to hide
From the wondering people at his side.
Oh the wedding feast.
He tried every way to get more of feast,
But still it availed him not the least,
For in the fire he seemed to be,
Wish an elbow and staring company.
oh that editors grief.

LARGE TREES.

Last week the PILOT published an
article about tall trees, in which
was stated that the highest trees in
the world were the Australian Euca-
lyptus which attain height of 4S0
feet, and from measurement of rings
these were thought 20 be from 2000
to $500 years old. The article also
mentioned the large trees of California,
some of which reach height of 373
feet and los feet in circumference. A
gentleman who was visiting in this
city and who has spent nearly all his
life in California, read the statement
and furnished the PILOT the follow
ing very interesting article on the
subject, showing that this country is
il it to a considerable extent when
it comes to large trees. He says:
Editor Wausau Pilot II read an
article on trees in your paper of last
Tuesday at which | take some excep-
tions. The tallest trees in the world
may be the eucalyptus, but the "big

high or even higher The writer
walked along the father of the for
est"-a fallen giant-and with q tape
measure tested the length Of the un-
decayed portion of the tree and found
it to be 450 feet long. Many feet of
its length had so decayed as to make
complete measure impossible. Nearly
all measurements of the California
trees are those of the earlier discov-
cred trees, not of those in the more re-
Gently discovered "Giant Forest, -
where nine square miles of these trees
exist, and by the state survey meas
ure from the smallest-22 feet in
diameter, to the largest, 45 feet 8
inches in diameter, both measure
ments having been made II feet above
the base. No big tree measurements
in California are made from the base,
but always at least IL feet above the
base. 45 feet 8 inches in diameter
means about 137 feet in circumfer-
ence, II feet above the base. The
natural bulging at the base would
make the measurement unfair. These
trees are known as the "Wellingtonia
Gigantea," and are not redwoods as
some suppose. The redwood trees
or sequvia circumvireus-are confined
to territory extending from Santa
Cruz, so miles south of San Francisco,
north to Smith river, 8 miles south of
the Oregon line, not redwood being
found north or south of the points
named. Another popularity is that
not redwood tree is to be found
more than about 80 miles east of the
Pacific ocean.
The writer, with others, counted the
rings on severed redwood and found
$500, the center being so decayed the
counting was impossible, but the de-
cayed space indicated that not less
than 1,500 other rings had therein ex-
listed, making a possible age of that
one tree 4 300 years old-and this was
not one of the largest of the redwoods,
for it measured only 16s feet in
diameter, II feet from the base. This
tree was one among the mady thous-
andS in Sanoma county, the home of
the celebrated Mr.. Burbank.

THE COMMON COUNCIL.

At the meeting of the city council
held last Tuesday evening the follow
ing business was transacted:
The Wausau Street Railway com.
pany presented a communication
through its manager, NJ. c. Ewing, in
which it asked for an extension OF
time in the enforcement of the ordin-
ance relating to laying wires under
ground in the business portion of the
city. The company called attention
to the many expensive Improvements
it had been called upon to make the
past year, and to many more necessary
changes that had to be made this
coming summer, which would make
it impossible to lay wires underground
in the near future The communica-
tion was accepted but action on the
same deferred.
The board of public works sub
mitted report on the bids received
for the building of the new city hail.
the same being as follows: Miller &
Krause, for complete building, s57, ,281;
for building only John Anderes & Son,
S5O,600, General Construction Co. of
Milwaukee, S52, $50; Majestic Construc-
tion Co. of Milwaukee, S49, 300; for
heating, NJ. t. Tisch, S4,8S5; Hett &
Molter, $3.50; for plumbing and
sewer, M. Z. Tisch, s2,623, Hett &
Molter, $3.50; for electrical work,
Johnson Electrical, Shop sS46. The
board recommended to award the
contract to Miller & Krause, their
bid being the lowest, but on motion
of Alderman Delaney action was de-
ferred until the regular meeting in
February.
A license for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors was granted to Emil
Gahnz, who has opened saloon on
S. Third avenue.
The appointment of j. H. Pomroy
as city sealer of weights and measures
by M ayor Lamont was confirmed by
the council.
The new license ordinance relating
to the licensingof shows was adopted.
The principal change from the old
ordinance is reduction in the license
fee for moving picture shows.
A petition for a reduction of the
special sewer tax against property on
Fourth and Fifth avenues and Maple
street was presented, and referred to
the committee on sewers.
The committee on fire was instructed
to have fire alarm box placed near
the plant of the Wausau Excelsior
petition for same having
been previously presented.
The board of public works was in
structed to advertise for bids for two
hundred cords of wood for the various
city departments.
An extension of time to complete
the sewer on West Bridge street was
granted to contractor Fred w. Krause,
the continued heavy rains last fall
causing so many delays, that it was
impossible to finish the work up to
the specified time, December 1st. He
will now have until September 1st to
finish the sewer.
All members of the council were
present with the exception of Alder
men Ahrens, Koschman and Hy.
Lemke.

A CLOSE CALL FROM DEATH.

Con Nables of this city, came very
near meeting death in the Wausau
Fibre Sulphate Paper Co.'s yard last
Wednesday, He is conductor on the
freight which does the switching at
Mosinee. He was on the back end of
fiat car that had been unloaded.
He gave the signal to back up. A
stake on the back of the car was
Jared loose and as 1T fell it struck
him on the head knocking him in
front of the wheels of the moving
car. The stake fell between his body
and the wheels and in this position
he was pushed ahead through the snow
for about the length of three cars.
The stake saved his life for he GER
tainly would have been cut in two
otherwise. As result he was laid
up only one day.
