IMPRESSIONS OF A VISITOR TO
THE VALY FORUM DEBAT-
ING CLUB.

Responding to an invitation from
the courteous president of the Valy
Forum Club, to attend one of its
meetings, we expected to be insuffer-
ably bored by squeaking utterances of
half-baked opinions and puerile pre-
SentationS OF questions that are tax
ing the great brains of the country,
but imagine our delighted surprise to
hear debate carefully thought out,
carefully prepared undisputed author
titles quoted, and clothed in language
showing originality and independence
of thought, and delivered with con-
vincing directness and oratorical
polih that would have graced a
Douglas or a Disraeli.
The intimate knowledge of the
rules governing discussions shown by
the presiding officer, and his grace
and cool judgment in settling mooted
points could not have been e2celled
by Champ CLARK, AID his wit and
pungent criticism, IN making his rul-
ings were worthy OF iUpfcllnc .Ioa'
Cannon.
But what appealed most was the
underlying motive; these young men,
and some older, from all ranks,
banded together, not for. selfish or
physical enjoyment, but for their
intellectual progress to the end that
they might be enlightened citizens,
and if you will, better patriots, and
as we looked upon the building that
housed and made possible this club,
we felt that if the men whose gener-
osity erected the "Y" had our
privilege last night of listening to
these young men, they would have
felt themselves recompensed and their
faith in the youth of their city justi-
fed. NJ. j. M.

WISCONSIN SUPREME.

The Wisconsin managers at the Ma
tional Corn Exposition now being
held at Columbia, South Carolina,
have sent a message to the Wisconsin
Advancement Association to the
effect that alfalfa grown in upper
Wisconsin has taken the worlds
championship award in competition
with all of the states and countries.
A recent census of over 500 Wis
consin farms developed the fact that
the average production for 1912 was
"A tons per acre which is practically
double the average of the leading al
falfa producing states. It is now es-
tablished that Wisconsin produces
more alfalfa to the acre, higher
quality of hay and greater value per
acre than that of any of the leading
alfalfa producing states and countries.
The extension OF alfalfa production
in Wisconsin will add millions upon
millions 10 the agricultural income of
the state.
The recent rapid extension Of alfalfa
in this state is due namely to the
efforts of the College of Agriculture,
the Wisconsin Experimental Associ-
alton: the state board of Immigration
and the Wisconsin Advancement As
ISOLATION, the latter being the means
for disseminating information.

WHO.

Who sympathized with you when
your little girl was sick? Was it your
home merchant, or was it Sears Roe
buck I?
Who carried you last winter when
you were out of job and had no
money? Was it Montgomery Ward
& Co., or was it your home merchant?
When you want to raise money for
the church or some needy person in
the town, do you write to the 10 cent
store in Sioux City, or do you go to
the home merchant ?
How much does the Cash Buyer
Union give towards keeping up the
sidewalks of your town.
When you were sick how many
nights did A. j. ChildS & Co., sit up
with you.
When your beloved were buried
was it your home paper which shed
the tears OF sympathy and offered the
cheering words, or was it some Omaha
or Chicago newspaper?
Remember that in case of accident
to your family your home merchant
is the one that applies balm, espec-
tally your neighbor.

One prohibits the pollution of the
waters of the great lakes which touch
Wisconsin, by dumping therein from

pickerel as rough fish.
Going upon or walking upon any
railroad track, right of way or grounds
Is made punishable by fine of from
$40 to $l00, by bill introduced by

Tuesday afternoon 1t is also provided
that no one not passenger shall ride
upon any car, engine or train without

The 1911 Wisconsin law requiring
railroads to use electric headlights on

took up the matter with the com
panies and secured their promise to
install the electric headlights at an
early date. Many crossing tragedies
and other troubles may be averted by

more powerful.

A Few Facts Brought Out at the Last
Annual Meeting.

A few telephone facts, some of
which you know and some of which
you never would dream were true of
Wausau:
The Wausau Telephone company
was organized and incorporated in
1895.
1t began to give service in 1896.
Its capital stock was $4,000.
Its capital stock now is $4,000.
Its property is now valued at
1886, 82S.69.
1t started operations with about
100 instruments.
1t now has 1,400 instruments to
which it gives service in its own eX-
change.
1t now connects for long distance
service with the Wisconsin Telephone
company, Marathon County Telephone
company and the Elderon Telephone
company.
Its main cable leading from the GEN.
trail office has been placed under
ground, in conduit SYSTEM, which
extends from the central office to the
river on Scott ST.. 10 tie west and 20
Fifth ST, to the east and on Fifth
st. from near Fulton ST., on the
north, to Plumer and Grand Ave. on
the south.
In this underground system extend
ing over 1886 feet, there are % man.
holes and 30, 494 duct feet of conduit.
In these conduits there are now
placed IL, ,53S feet of cable, which con-
meet the central office with the over
head cables beyond the underground
system.
In the cable system, which is still
overhead or aerial as il is called,
there are 1918 feet of cable, making
total of ST. 257 feet of cable.
You may get better idea of the
extent of this and the amount of work
necessary to install and maintain all
this when you know that in this ST.
PSI feet or Is 5 miles of cable there are
3,275 miles of copper wire. In other
WORDS there is enough copper wire in
the cables of this telephone system,
outside If the central office, to reach
from New York to San Francisco and
have some TO spare. In addition to
the cable wires there are 435 miles of
line or iron wire There are poles
enough to make II miles of pole line.
In the underground cables before
mentioned, there are 2,400 pairs of
wire or 800 single wires, entering the
central office, each wire insulated
from all the others and arranged,
numbered and soldered to it's own
particular terminal.
All this is what is called the "out
side'' work, some day we will give you
an idea of what is contained in the
central Office or the ''inside." Do
you wonder that once in while some
thing goes wrong?

WAUSAU.

The best asset of the city of Wau-
sau is what is spoken proudly of as
"The Wausau Spirit" This spirit
has taken the city from the category
of numbering villages and given it a
place among the most progressive
and enterprising cities in the state
There is nothing of boom nature
about this boaSted spirit-at times it
would seem that there was little too
much conservatism-bu the progress
has been steady, sure and certain
and there will be no cessation of the
efforts along safe lines to push the
city onwards toward the top.
A distant feature of the spirit is
that it has lead to the investment of
Wausau capital in and near Wausau.
Local capital built the lines of the
Wausau Street Railroad company,
which will soon develop into an in
terurban system. 1t was local capital
aImort exclusively that built the
Mills company few miles up the river
at Brokaw, and very little foreign
assistance was received in the build
ing OF the $4,000, 900 plant of the Mar
athon Paper Mills company five miles
uON III lINCI dO IAOIljSCllllQs IlCl
is a multitude OF lesser industries
financed by local capital and there is
still 6, surplus that will invest in any
enterprise that will show a reasonable
claim that it will prove of value to
the city and assist in the upbuilding
of the community.
Another feature of '"The Wausau
Spirit" is the close relation between
employer and employe. There is an
entire absence of tile all too common
animosity between these two elements
each so necessary to development.
There is q. common desire on the part
of each for the welfare of the other
and labor troubles are unknown.
1t is these things that have builded
busy, prosperous city, and there is
every prospect of a further healthful
and consistent growth. With many
waterpowers nearby undeveloped or
only partly developed, an abundance
of cheap power is assured, sufficient
to meet the demands of almost any
need. North of the city, easy of ac-
cess and with cheap freight rates is a
great store of materials in the way
of timber that will keep busy many
factories for years to come and en-
courage the establishment of many
more mills and factories here.
Southwest of the city is natural
resource that is at this time very
little appreciated. 1t lis Rib mountain
the highest point in the state, where
there are immense deposits of silica
quartz. Some of this assays 99.70
pure and there is not better mater
ial in the country for the manufacture
of plate glass. At present it is prac-
tically undeyeloped. A sandpaper
factory, the only one in the state, is
using the deposit with great success
and large quantities of the quartz are
being crushed and shipped away. If
operated for years these industries
would scarcely make an impression
on the vast field and it is certain
that in time, when there has been
fuller development, millions will be
reaped from this resource which
nature has placed here, without cost.
