Oisposes of Timber. Holdings

The sale of the 10000 acres of
fine timber lands by the c. l.. & B..
Co. and the Mississippi River Logging
| Co. to the Edw. Hines Lumber Co.,
closes out large timber holdings Of
these two concerns. The M. R. L..
Co. is the parent company and was
organized in about 1872 or 1873 by
Frederick Weyerhauser, operating
from the head waters of the Chip
pewa river down to Muscatine and
Dubuque and even to Hannibal, Mo.
Forty years this, company. has been
the greatest logging operators in the
| world. -.
This 10000 acres includes the
south half of Sawyer county and
some adjacent sections. 1t amounts
to nearly six townships. Had the
paper mill been established here this
timber supply was intended for Chip
pewa Falls. But now there will not
De a stick of it coming here. For the
Hines Lumber Company will haul to
Hayward such timber as can be
sawed. The balance will be sold to
paper mills for pulp wood. The paper
mills at Ladysmith and the mill north
of Bruce will get most of it. Thus
Chippewa is denied what should be i
own by priority Of possession.
George Atwood, of the Atwood
Lumber Co, of Park Falls, Wis, en-
gineered the deal for the sale of this
Vast tract of. timber which is mainly
hemlock Mr. Atwood has for some
time held an option on it. And it is
understood that his sawmill at Park
| Falls and also his lumber holding
goes in the deal. In that event part
of the timber will be manufactured at
Park Falls.
While the Edw Hines Lumber Go.
| has not made the actual purchase OF
the timber, yet it is expected the
deal will be closed most any day as
| the Hines people have signified their
| intention Of buying it and the local
companies consider it sold.-Chip-
pewa Falls Herald.

PROPOSITION PUT UP TO THE
VOTERS BY MAYOR
RICHARDS
WILL VOTE ON QUESTION FEB. 18
Most Of the Business and Profession
al Men of the City Favor
the Plan

Ladysmith will vote on the Ques-
ton of adopting the commission form
of government on Tuesday, Feb. Is.
Mayor Dell Richards signed the
proclamation calling for the election
Tuesday at Madison, where he is in
attendance at the session of the leg
islature as assemblyman, in response
to petition signed by large num-
Der of the leading citizens of the
city.
But little opposition has developed
to the proposition so far and indi-
cations seem favorable to it's pass
age. Other Wisconsin cities that have
tried the commission plan have
found it big improvement over the
old plan. Responsibility is centered
on fewer individuals where success
or failure on the part of the repre-
sentative of the people is easily and
shown, and where this
plan is in use each man Of the COM
mission has certain definite duties
and a certain part of the business of
the city to attend to and this re-
suits in much better service.
Under the commission form of gov
ernment, the council is reduced in
number to three but it's power is also
reduced for the reason that every
vote of the people. The commission
form of government is nearer the
people than the old form.

The Value of Apples

According to the United States cen
the price per bushel realized for Wis
consin apples is very satisfactory in
comparison with that of other states
that are supposed to get large prices.
We find that the average in Wis
consin was So cents per bushel, while
that of Washington was $1.0S, Mon
tana 81, Oregon 81 cents Idaho so
cents, Colorado SO cents, Utah 81
cents, New York SO cents, Michigan
4S cents, etc. Probably three-fourths
of the apples produced during the
census year went for less than the
Wisconsin price, and when the ex-
pensive cost of packing prevailing in
the west is taken into consideration
probably nine-tenths.
If yield per tree, which is much
less everywhere than is generally
supposed, is taken into consideration,
it is found that only 16 states have
larger yield than Wisconsin. This
is surprising, in view of the fact that
in at least that many states expen-
sive and supposedly successful prac-
tees are in vogue, while most of the
trees in Wisconsin are utterly neg
lected
III value of crop per tree only nine
states lead Wisconsin
1t is apparent that with the new
order of things that is now coming
In in Wisconsin we will have one OF
the few leading apple states in the
Union in short time.
The greatest disappointments
shown in the census are in the far
west, where the yields are light and
the prices realized small. But, if the
census covered last year instead OF
1909, the prices would have been so
low as to place these heralded west
ern states almost at the foot of the
list

Development in the North

During the ten years from 1909 to
1910 the southern half of Wisconsin
scarcely more than maintained it's
improved acreage. OF twenty-five of
the most southern counties twelve
lest in improved acreage, with a net
loss in the twenty-five counties Of
67, ,10l acres.
In the twenty-five most northern
counties there was material gain
In all Of them, with d net gain OF
494,719 acres. The development of
the northern counties is going ahead
more rapidly now than at any time
in the past 1t is probable that as
much land has been cleared in the
last three years as in the previous
ten years The average gain in the
census decade amounted to more than
81 per cent. 1t amounts to 1888
acres for each of the twenty-five up
per counties.
Twelve of the above northern coun-
ties produced in 1909, the census
year, $1S,797,339 worth of new
wealth, not counting forest products
which would make a handsome addi-
ton When fully developed they will
produce more than ten times that
amount.
The possibilities of the future are
indicated by the fact that Douglas
county, for example, is every bit as
good land as Dane county, and has
10 per cent more land, yet produced
only $534,2S3 worth of new wealth in
1909 against $14,673,S0S worth in
Dane county The secret of the diff,
ference lies in the fact that in Dane
county 95.7 per cent of the land is
in farms with 72 per cent improved
while in Douglas county only 10.s
of the land is in farms with 21.s
per cent improved The application
of a pencil to a tablet will easily
show that the farmers in Douglas
county did as we'll as those in Dane
lin fact whatever difference there il
is a small fraction.

SCHOOL MEETING WELL ATTENDED
Many interesting Topics Brought Up
and Discussed

A meeting of parents, teachers and
all interested in the public schools
was held at the highschool last Fri
day evening and the large attend
ance was most gratifying.
Prin. Gotham explained that the
purpose of the meeting was to bring
about a closer relationship between
parent and teacher and better un-
derstanding by the parents OF some
Of the problems the teachers have
to contend with; also, to get help
full suggestions and criticisms, tc the
end that the efficiency of the school
be advanced wherever possible. He
asked all to express themselves free
ly and stated that criticism, just and
well-meant, would be welcomed. A
question box was passed and by this
means a number of questions were
brought before the meeting and in
terestingly discussed and all parents
present doubtless went away with
a better conception of what our
schools are doing and with the var
ious little erroneous ideas, On mat
ters where misinformation had led
to an impression that this or that
wasn't as it should be, explained to
their satisfaction.
1t was also proposed to discuss
the matter of a social center, but
time would not permit a discussion
Of this topic at this meeting and it
was left for a subsequent one.
At the close of the session those
through the courtesy of the domes-
tic science girls.

fire a stream from a hose this size

On some of the taller buildings

Wireless telegraphy has field ne
culiarly its own at sea. On land there
are various other means of communica-
lon, but on the sea the wireless is the
only method by which help NAV be
called from a distance. Hundreds of
lives were saved in the Titanic and
Nolturno disaster by use of the wire
less, and now come the story of the
burning of the Spanish steamship
Salmes. 1t had set out from Calves
ton with cargo of cotton, had touch
ed at Havana and was on its way ia
Barcelona, when the cotton took fire.
Its ;. o. 5. call was picked UP by the
Cunarder Pannonia, only $50 miles
away, to be sure, but too far to have
known of the plight of the Balmes.
had it not been for the wireless The
Cunarder put on full speed and went
far out of her course to the rescue
Meanwhile her commander, Captain
Capper, had everything put in readiness
Tor action. The conditions proved to
be more favorable than in the case of
tho Nolturno, and not life was lost
In due time the passengers of thu
salmcs were transferred to the Panno
MIA, and the two ships in company ar.
rived at Bermuda, where the cotton
still burning beneath matches. : was
drcuchcd with water Then the Pan
nonia took up its course for New York
1t was another triumph of the wireless
and of discipline at sea-
