OTHER BRIDGE
Seeking to Defect Trade From
Stevens Point to Grand Rapids

The editor of the Stevens Point
Daily Journal after reading our edi-
torial in Fridays paper in reference,
to the erection of the new bridge in
Biron, was sufficiently interested in
the subject to make the followin com
ment in their issue of Saturday.
1.-The Consolidated Water Power &
Paper company at Grand Rapids,
which also owns the paper and pulp
mill at Biron has had surveyors at
work for some time taking levels
and making surveys for the purpose
of obtaining information necessary
for the purchase of lands and flowage
on both banks of the Wisconsin ariyer
for a considerable distance above
Biron. 1t is the purpose of the com
pany to raise their dam several feet.
In this connection the people of
GRAND Rapids are agitating the sub
ject of building a bridge across the
Wisconsin at Biron Such a bridge,
it is claimed, would build up Biron
and bring considerable Rudolph trade
to Biron and Grand Rapids that now
finds it's way to Stevens Point. - .

lett was coming down Second street
when he noticed the dog acting in a
strange manner. The dog was sprawl
ed out and was shaking and his eyes
We're bulging out. The dog started to
wards Vine street and bumped into
an automobile and Immediately com
menced to bite the machine. Offic-
er Hewlett ordered the automobile
moved so that he could get at the
dog. He shot the dog and it start
ed on a rambling course across the
bridge. Officer Hewlett shot the dog
seven times before finally killing it.
The steel jacketed pistol balls from
the officers revolver Went right thru
the dogs body and it was until the
seventh shot hit him that he finally
died
The dog was hurt several days ago
about the spine and this may have
been the cause of the fit the dog was
in when seen by the officer.
There was some comment on the
shooting of the dog and someone sug-
gested that the officer catch him,
One gentleman remarked to the Off
Ger, Tell the dog to lie down and
keep quiet until you can get a rope
to tie him with, Officer Hewlett
did not take any chances When
dog begins to bite everything it comes
in contact with, the best thing to do
is to get rid of the dog before some
rael serious injury is done.

STRIKES BACK

Grand Rapids, Wis, June II, 1912.
Commercial Club, City of Grand Rap
ids, Wis.
Gentlemen: Considerable comment
has been occasfoned by the remarks
of Mr.. Theodore Brazeau in his ad-
dress to our recent visitors, the Du-
siness men of Milwaukee, mention of
which was made in the Daily Re
porter Of June 7th, in setting forth
the advantages etc, of our city, and
calling attention to the fact that We
have three railroads, and ''The Green
Bay & Western Railroad.
Had this remark been launched
from the platform of a cheap thea
tre probably nothing would have beel
thought of it, but on an occasion like
that and from man like Mr.. Bra
zeau, it is really a surprise. To
those not cognizant with the facts or
to strangers, one would be led to be
lieve from that remark that there
were three real railroads here, but
the other one, the one which is so
bold and assuming as to take the
name RAILROAD, was simply a
name, or a trail through the woods.
am happy to say that the Green
Bay & Western Railroad has a lot
of friends both in the city of Grand
Rapids and elsewhere, and altho Mr..
Brazeau is not aware of the fact,
the Green Bay Lines occupies a very
important position commercially to
this city, and tho it has been the
center and target of all manner of
poor so-calIed jokes, it stands First in
cleanliness, thoughtfulness of it pa
irons, comfort of its passengers and
promptness of its freight shipments.
The only 1.-TWO streaks of rust" as
Geo. w. Peck was want to call it
because the management refused to
grant him free transportation which
he did not deserve, it might surprise
some of the knockers to know that
this line handles more passengers in
and out of Grand Rapids than any
other railroad in town. That more
towns can be made in day along
| the line of this road than on any
ohter road in the state. That between
Green Bay and Grand Rapids there
are twenty-four stops but the morning
passenger leaving Green Bay at Z
makes the run at an average speed
of forty-five miles per hour and there
| is no road here that makes any bette
time. That the freight handled thru
It's Grand Rapids freight Office, not
to speak of the large amount that
passes through here, reaches the
immense total of nearly ten millions
of pounds per month That the en-
| ployees, both train-men and office mel
Fcan and do hold their own with any
railroad men any where. That tick
cts and passengers are handled at its
office here equally as good as at any
office in the state, and as the writer

DEATH COMES To
MRS. {. R. Jones
Former Prominent University
Student Dies After Long ILL
ness.

Mrs. Dorothea Jones, wife of
Professor E. R. Jones of the soils
department of the university died at
9:15 o'clock last night at the home OF
her parents Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Mou
216 North Murray street, after an
illness of IA weeks. She was at the
Stoeber hospital for some weeks and
recently was removed to her home,
1927 Madison street, Wingra Park.
where she remained under the care
of a nurse until last Friday. Her
condition had greatly improved and sb
was taken to the home of her par
ents as it was thot that the change
would benefit her. She continued to
improve and driung the lats few days
she felt particularly good. However
at 6 o'clock last evening she had a
circulatory collapse and her condition
grew worse until death ensued.
Mrs. Jones was married to Prof
essor Jones last September. She was
porn IN tnlS city Aug. 22, 1879, and
would have been 27 years old in Au
gust. She graduated from the Madi
SON high school in 1903 and entered
the university in the fall of the same
year. Mrs. oJnes Nwas a brilliant
student both in high school and uni
versity. At the university she won
the oratorical contest and was second
in the senior open.
She graduated from the university
in 1907
After leaving the university she
taught in the Elroy high school for
one year and the following three
years she was a member of the teacI
ing staff in the Lincoln high school

has been told many times, better than
at any other ticket office in the city.
While the prses Of the city is on
the alert and quick to detect and cen
sure the different railroads for the
filthy and unsanitary condition Of
their depots and surroundings, I find
that it is equally slow on the other
hand to mention the fact that the
Green Bay and Western has the on
ly steam heated depot in town; has
always had perfectly clean waiting
rooms with easy chairs, and the only
depot equipped with up-to-date toilet
rooms in the city.
I would like to call your attention
to the fact that your humble servant
is the only railroad man in the city
who is a member Of the Commercial
Club; is the only railroad man who
had interest enough in the advance
ment and prosperity of the city to
join the club with the idea of having
a bigger and better city, and it is
far from gratifying to hear remarks
like above from public speaker who's
duty it is to BOOST and not to
KNOCK.
Perhaps some people are not a
ware that the Green Bay & Western
has more resident employees in this
city than all th,c other roads. put to-
gether. Perhaps some people are not
aware that the Green Bay & West
ern pay roll which is distributed a
mong the merchants and others in
the city each month runs up into the
thousands of dollars
Altho the Green Bay & Western is
not the largest road in existence,
l. is second to none which run thru
this city, its rolling stock is up to
date and better than much of that own
ed by other lines passing thru here,
and its employees strive to and do a
commodate the travelling public and
it's patrons in general to a greater
extent than the employees of any O.
ther line here, and therefore I feel
fully justified in resenting such re
marks from a public speaker in this
city
Yours for a Bigger and Better city,
A. D. Hill,
Agent G. B. &W. R. R. Co.

FOND DU Lac
BALL TEAM To
PLAY HERE

The following is clipped from the
Fond du Lac Commonwealth:
Manager Joseph Schantz of the
500 Line Base Ball team has made
arrangements with Merrill for three
games and with Grand Rapids for
two games to be played in those ci-
ties the first week in July. Joe is
well known in Grand Rapids having a
one time learned to play a clarinet
in this city. We can promise Joe and
his bunch Of Soos the time of their
life when they bump up against the
Kelylyites on the local ball lot We
advise Joe and his team to get a re-
turn ticket for they won't have any
left if they bet on their own
team.
