DANCY DRAINAGE
DISTRICT NOTES
Sincerely,
o. E. Lindburg.

The mouth of the Little Eau PIeine
River is to be opened. Bids are
sought by the commissioners for the
removal of about 10000 cubic yards OF
earth below the railroad bridge. The
old stone piers and other debris
choking the channel will be removed.
This will let the flood water get a.
way much faster and do away with o
verfloWing in times of flood.
The drainage taxes are due now
and may be paid any time up to the
fifth of December, when a penalty
goes on. T. H. Hanna the treasurer
of the commission will receive the
taxes in Stevens Point. In addition
to the usual tax one-tenth of the
principle of the bonds is due also.
This will be the heaviest payment in
the fifteen years the bonds had to
run.
This fall Prof. E. r. Jones of the
University made two visits to the
marsh and advised owners as to their
ditching. Mr.. Chas. Brinkmann near
Rice Lake made about three quarters
of a mile of ditch and is more than
pleased with the result and the low
cost of it.

REPORT OF THE BOARD
OF TRUSTEES OF THE
WOOD COUNTY ASYLUM

This office is in receipt Of a copy
Of the Report Of the Board Of Trus-
tees Of the Wood County Asylum
We shall give a condensed statement
Of it as we can spare space so that
our readers may acquaint themselves
with it's contents. The Board Of
Trustees make the following state
ment:
To the Honorable Board Of Super
yisors Of Wood County:
We, the Board of Trustees of the
Wood County Asylum herewith submit
to your Honorable Body our report
for the year ending June both, 1912,
together with the report Of the Sup
erintendent and Physician, also a
statement of the cost of the Asylum
and farm, furnishings, stock, etc,
and a financial statement for the year
with detailed inventory Of all the
property belonging to the Asylum.
The Asylum has been in operation
about ten months, and everything IN
connection with the building, power
plant, etc, has, we believe, been test
ed thoroughly and found to operate
satisfactorily.
During the year We have cleared
up and plowed about fifty acres r.
wild land and at this rate we think
in five years our farm of 500 acres
viii al be under cultivation
We especially need a stock barn
and silo on the farm, so that We can
increase our herd Of cattle.

WILL THE
COUNTY HELP

Baker street in front of the county
property is always in a bad condition
The city has been hauling material
to fill the street and whenever there
has been a heavy rain, the dirt wash
es down to the foot of the hill and
has to be hauled away. They put in
the material and pay for it and then
when it is washed down the hill, the
city hauls it to the dump and that
costs money also. Now, it is the
wish of the city officials that this
street from the Library to 7th St,
be paved and it does not seem too
much to ask the county to pay its
proportion of the paving expense.
The county board is in session now
and it would be a good idea for the
members to consider the matter and
make an offer of their willingness
to meet the city half way.

CHICAGO &NORTH.
WESTERN LIMITED

Fitted throughout with entirely
new equipment fresh from the shops
the new Northwestern Limited of tn,
Chicago North Western Railway was
placed. on exhibition yesterday in
the New Passenger Terminal on
Madison St, between Canal and Clin-
ton Sts., and left Chicago last night
on its first trip to ST. Paul and Min
neapolis.
The new train is said to be one
of the most eIaborateIy equipped eve1
operated out of Chicago, being plan
ned in all details to furnish the
complete facilities of metropolitan
club or hotel, rather than those of
a railway passenger train.
A Iounging car, to be used by both
men and women travellers, and de-
signed in all it's appointments pri-
mariIy toward comfort and sociabiIity
is the distinctive feature of the new
train. The car contains many uni
que details and is said to be the very
last word in the car builders art,
combining within it's limits more faci
tiles for luxury and restfulness than
designers ever before have been a.
bic to attain.

A movement is on foot to organize
a new National Bank in the city of
Grand Rapids. Mayor Joseph A. Co
hen is the principal mover in the new
enterprise. The bank is to have a
Capital Of 500, 900 and will commence
business as soon as the charter can
be secured from the comptroller at
Washington, D. C. The par value Of
the stock is 800 and it is selling for
$105 a share. The extra five dollars
is to create a surplus fund.
Although Mr.. Cohen did not start
out with his subscription list until
) o'clock Saturday evening, he has
succeeded in having 81 per cent of
the stock subscribed for already There
are IS names on the list and the nun
Der of shares subscribed for vary
from one to $50. All the stock will
be sold to residents of Grand Rapids
and vicinity. In an interview with
Mayor Cohen, he stated that it
would be impossible for him to see
all the people, especially the farmers
so he would ask those who wish to
take stock to call at the store. He
stated that he was more than graft
fled at the confidence shown in him
by the business men of the city in
this new undertaking.
The location of the new bank will
be left to the decision of the stock
holders.

This money was retained by local
associations last year, but when the
Executive Committee of the associa-

be followed. 1t has been definitely

WOOD COUN.
TY NORMAL

The young people of our County
are realizing how much it means to
attend the Wood County Normal.
Every graduate gets a position and
the average wages for the thirty
seven who graduated last June is
about $3S a month. One receives
$50, six receive $50 each while a
few more are above the $40 mark
And these are the beginners. The
demand for our graduates is more
than We can possibly supply. This
is a great work. 1t is certainly a
source of great satisfaction to those
who have charge of the school to
see our Wood County young peo-
pie given this opportunity to set in
to the best profession on earth at
wages sufficient for self support and
a margin above which was helped
to pay off several mortgages on the
home farms of Wood County The
faculty of the school have some
splendid statistics bearing On the
work of the graduates after leaving
school The Wood County Normal
has worked out a system by which
students who cannot afford to pay
the full expense of a course can
earn part or all of their board, and
a great many of our students are
taking ADVANTAGE of n.-EducatiOnal
