EAST SIDE MARKET SQUARE.

The Merchants association COM
mittee having the project in charge
of enlarging the east side market
square has succeeded satisfactorily
thus far. During the past week the
committee has been rendered and ac-
cepted from Walter Alexander the lots
on which stood the Alexand n Stew
art Lumber Co.'s old mill boarding
house stood, which is nearly opposite
said square, temporarily for additional
purposes and has already put it in
condition for immediate use. The
newly sit uated market place is located
on the corner of. Second and Forest
streets, is 80xS0 feet, and with the
new addition gives ample room for
all purposes needful at the present
time. The location as whole is an
excellent one for the time being, but
the association hopes in the course of
time to secure more room adjoining
its original location, by purchasing
the buildings and grounds north and
west of the square, Immediately ad-
Joining the property, so as to enlarge
its premises for all time to come.
When it does ample buildings will be
erected and other Improvements will
be made on the grounds, thereby
making them more inviting and at
tractive than was ever had before.
1t is now up to the Merchants aSsoci-
alton to put the grounds in present
able shape for the benefit of all con-
cerned at an as early date as possible,
for surely Wausau is entitled to every
ching needful and practical 20 make

ORGANIZE WOLF HUNT.
mental in Wolf Hunt Around Lake
Laura and Buckatoban.

A party of Wausau gentlemen who
hunt annually at Deerfoot Lodge, Lake
Laura, have this winter arranged for
wolf hunt to rid the country around
that lake and Buckatoban of the
animals that destroy so many deer.
The have secured the services of a
wolf hunter with two trained wolf
hounds who will make his headquarters
at the Lodge and work to rid the SER
vices of wolves which are more numer-
Gus this year then they have been since
years ago.
tits understood that the wolf hounds
are two of the best in the country and
that while hunting they pay no atten-
tion to other tracks, save the wolf
track upon which they are on, and
that they work slowly, giving the wolf
a chance to double on his trail, and
in that manner give the hunters, who
follow, the opportunity to get shot.
The party has secured the permiS-
sion from state and local game war
dens and according to letter to
Game Warden James Oberholtzer
from HON. Neal Brown of Wausau,
in which the foregoing details were
outlined it is expected that the hunt
will be inaugurated soon.
The ravageS upon the deer of Nor
thern Wis. by wolves have reached
alarming proportions during late
years. so great in fact, that the county
has raised the bounty on wolves from
$40 to $40 which with the state bounty
of $40, makes a $40 bounty for each
wolf killed. Eagle River News.

SUSANNA MARJORIE WIN
FIELD.

In this city at 1890 O'Clock, Thurs
day morning, Jan. 16, 1913, Susanne
Marjorie Weinfeld, only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Weinfeld of this
city, passed away after an illness of
three weeks, of scarlet fever. She
was aged one year and nine months.
Mr.. Weinfeld was ill with a severe
cold when his little daughter was
taken down with the fever, and dur
ing the early part of his quarantine
from home, he grew worse, an ear
trouble developed and he went to
Chicago for an operation. He was in
the hospital when death invaded his
home.
Inferment was in the cemetery at
Appieton. The remains were accom-
panied by Mrs. Weinfeld and her
brother, Mr.. David Stein, of Chicago,
and nephew, Mr.. Samuel Ullman of
Appleton and Miss Ernestine Katz
of this city. The party was met at
Eland Junction by relatives from APP
pleton. The sympathy of all go out
to Mr.. and Mrs. Weinfeld in their
deep affliction.

UP TO THE STATE PRESS.


The Fond du Lac Reporter states
some salient facts in the appended
paragraph. We should awaken to the
fact that the settlement of the great
unoccupied area in upper Wisconsin is
not land selling scheme, but pro-
posal to get these lands into the hands
of small owners that will use them and
make them ten times more valuable
than they are now. This is in the in
terest of the whole state, and will sup
ply some of the state revenue that will
be sorely needed in the future. The
state press can make all this an ac-
complished fact and will do so when it
discovers the importance of the matter.
The paragraph referred tots as follows:
WiSconSin'S last census was a dis
appointment to the state officials. 1t
showed big decrease In the rural popu-
lation. In an effort to remedy matters
the state now proposes to purchase
vast tracts of northern land in Wis
cOnsin and sell them at comparatively
small prices to prospective settlers.
That Northern Wisconsin possesses
practically unlimited opportunities
for successful agricultural pursuits
there can be nc doubt and there is
reason to believe that within the next
four or five years, Badgerites will fully
realize that fact and the real rush
will begin.

WATER POWERS.

The water powers in this state are
again to be hauled through the legis-
lature aad the unsettled conditions
kept up Indefinitely. 1t is about
time that northern and central Wis
consin raised up as one man and
smite the average shallowpated politi-
clan hip and thigh. The future of
the upper two-thirds of Wisconsin de-
pends upon its water powers. With
out them the towns, villages and
cities built adjacent TO these powers
might as well abandon them and go
elsewhere. This section is vitally in
terested in the Harvesting of every
water power. But who is going to
risk cent in such enterprises if the
state is going to contiScate the powers
after a certain number of years. AS
it is, freShets may come and wipe out
all the powers on the river, as was
the case last July, and there is no
certainty about them. 1t is almost
/ impossible to find anyone who will in
vest in these properties and up to the
present time there are many powers
undeveloped. What should be done
by the state, if it insists on contiscat-
ing these properties, is that when no
one viii improve them, for the state
to do SO. Just think of any man or
set of men investing their money in
water power under a bill reported
| By the senate commission last session.
l After ennumerating what would have
to be done to gain control of a water
power, it ended up with this clause
The state reserves the right tC
and may upon recommendations from
the com mission alter amend revoke
or repeal airy franchise granted under
this ac5.'
These would-be politicians, if they
can succeed in passing such outland
ish bills, can come up into northern
Wisconsin afterwards and buy VI
property for next TO nothing.

THE LEGISLATURE.

There is an attempt being made to
shorten the term of the legislature
and an association formed of both
houses has been formed to that end
1t is generally understood that the
hotel men and others have always
worked for long session 1t is pro-
posed to put an end to if possible
This association will de..A;ind prompt
action upon all legislative bills. The
members get the same allowance
whether short or a long session and
it is the right thing to do. Let the work
of our legislature be in a business
like way ard there will be an adjourn
ment irl April instead of June.
A chance to pay your taxes twice
year is proposed in a bill to be in
troduced at this session of the legisla-
ture. The plan is to pay one-half of
the taxes in the month of January
and the remainder in July. One
legislator claims that more Christmas
presents would be purchased were
not the fact continually staring in the
face of the prospective purchaser that
he must save the money to pay his
taxes. 1t is understood that the tax
commission looks with disfavor upon
the bill. The commissioners claim
there is no sentiment for such legisla-
tion and that it would delay the
present financial transactions of the
towns, villages and counties.
A bill to alloy church organizations
OF a membership of fifty to acquire
land for cemetery purposes and give
them the right to condemn property
therefor, is to be introduced this
week.
A bill will probably be introduced
in this legislature for a single tax
plan OF obtaining revenues for the
state.
A bill prohibiting unfair competi-
tion to Kill business rivals is about to
be introduced. 1t will be known as
the anti-discrimination bill. The
essence of the bill will be that con-
Germ selling it's products for price
in one locality must sell them the
same in another locality. 1t will pro-
hibit underselling in one field to drive
out competitor.
Assemblyman Don C. Hall of Port
age county, is drawing up bill to
efface all party lines. He certainly
has a big JOB on his hands.
The latest sensation in Madison is
the suspension of l.. A. Anderson, by
III, L. Ekern, who was his superior
officer.
A closer ban on the operation of
bank directors and officials is pro-
posed in bill to come into the Wis
consin assembly next Wednesday by
William K. Hurlbut of Winnebago
county. 1t regulates the acts of bank
officials IN loaning money. Mr.. Hurl-
but contends that in many cases
these officials have been the cause of
poor people losing money on loans.
His bill would make it unlawful
for any officer, agent or employe of
any bank in Wisconsin to either di-
rectly or indirectly exact compensa-
tion for making, obtaining or extend
ing loan. 1t will also provide that
no person shall receive any greater
compensation for the use of money or
for loaning money than shall be
stated in the instrument evidencing
the loan, if it be evidenced by any
written instrument.

GEORGE STELTZ.
Died at the County Home and Hospital
on Tuesday Evening, Jan. 14th, 1918.

George SteltZ died at the County
Home and Hospital ON Tuesday even
ing at o'clock of apoolexy. Mr..
Steltz had not been well for several
years; his memory had failed him to
a great extent and besides he was not
a we'll man and seemed to be failing
gradually.
George Steltz was born in Germany
on the I'd day. of May, 1910. His par
ents came to the United States in
1854 locating in Milwaukee. They
were accompanied by their six chill
/ dren-Peter, Jacob, Henry, Co.cfad,
George and Mrs. J. Noiseaux. The
children came to Marathon county in
1861. The boys went into the town
of Stettin where they had purchased
farming lands. In 1862 they came to
Wausau to make their home, entering
into various occupations principally
logging, driving, rafting, running the
river, working in the mills, etc.
! Deceased became marshal of the
town and for many years was about
Wausau's only officer to keep the
peace and he did it very effectually.
He was large, strong, active man
and perfectly fearless. The town was
l
of river boys and some of them were
the toughest of the rough. Notwith-
standing, Mr.. Steltz kept order and
the man who failed TO respect his
orders landed in jail. All had a
wholesome respect for Marshal Steltz
He was kind and conSiderate and
would consent to anything reasonable
| if man would only behave himself;
| be hn ,l,ol
| would assert himself in most en-
| phatic manner; if his prisoner showed
| fight, he vas summarily dealt with.
| George never asked anybody TO assist
| him in taking man to the lock up
No matter how large the crowd
against him or how menacing, he was
never known to fail in quelling a dis
turbance. He was just the man for
Wausau in those wild and woody days.
| He seemed TO be everywhere and at
the right time and was eminently the
kind of man needed for WauSau in
| the trying times of it's early history.
Later, as the city grew and it was
necessary to have regular police
force, the Office was abolished and
his further services were dispensed
with. Mr.. Steltz then became sexton
of our cemetery which he held for
about twenty-five years or until he be-
came incapable of attending to the
duties and since he has been at the
county hospital.
The passing away of George Steltz
takes out another of the old citizens
of our city who was generally known
by all who came into the valley De-
ceased is survived by three children,
Margaret, Viola and Elvin, also one
brother, Jacob, who resides here.
The funeral services were held from
his late home, 625 Washington street,
on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. E.
Q. Grauer officiating. Interment was
in Pine Grove cemetery.

SATURDAY. OCT. I, 1876.

In che PILOT of the above date was
a UWo column article giving an ac-
counto OF number of our citizens who
had been having an outing at Rice
lake. From the account given the
lake must have been alive with fish
and paradise for ducks and wild
geese. The senior member of the
party was @. 4. Cowan, and the ar
ticle says, she was the life of the
party, and that he carried in his heart
an lnexhaustible fountain of youth
from which there is ever genial flow" :"
The others of the party were S. I'll.
Alban of the United States land office
at Wausau, G. +. Eldred, M. H.
Barnum and several boys. Comp.
HanscoIn, "who has passion for cut
ting holes in his boots and shooting
ducks, divers and mud hens at long
range; ChaS. Barnum, who could pull
a canoe, row boat and run rapids
and express his opinions, and Bert
Gowen, n,--ah ! Bert was a lad who
took the hearts of the party by storm.
He never boasted, but when there
was work TO do he did it and if he
was tired he did not tell of it. Every
body In the party liked Bert"
The article further says, Leaving
Wausau at two O'Clock in the after
noon our first camp was at Trappe
river, ten miles up the stream. We
had caught enough fish for supper,
and after q hearty meal laid down to
the sweet slumbers that toll ever
brings. The next days hard labor
brought us to the mouth of Copper
river, five miles above the thriving
little town of Jenny. Pitching camp
in the woods was a lively and inter-
estiDg scene, and very soon after sup
per every body returned to his leafy
couch of hemlock and sweet fern to
dream pleasant dreams, and gather
strength for the next days storm
Above the mouth of New Wood river
we came to the Bill Cross rapids,
where short portage was made, and
when Mr.. Cowan came to the conclu-
sion that If Old Bill really owned so
much valuable property as that which
bears his name, he would not refuse
to lend him his gold-bow eyeglasses
next time. We reached the foot of
the great falls of Grandfather at
noon, and camped at this point We
found ID. l.. Kline with gang OF
men building a road, and at the camp
