j. C. R0CKWELL'S SUNNY
SOUTH CO.

Among the best of the many
colored attractions on the road this
season is ]. C. Rockwell's Sunny
South company, which will be seen
at the Opera House, River Falls,
Tuesday evening, March 18th.
This is to be one of the strongest
combinations of colored talent ever
gotten together and they are
presenting a performance that is up
to the minute, bright and pleasing
from the start. 1t is one of the best
examples of that form of enter
tainment that makes the heartiest
sort of appeal to the eye and ear.
1t takes you out of dolldrums by
its rapidity and movement, its
brilliancy and cleyerness. 1t has
a handsome chorus and boasts of
an Olio of headlights in the way
of comedians, excellent specialities,
some of a SenSati onal character,
that, as rule are not seen outside
the larger cities. The music is the
kind that makes you whistle in
spite of yourself and is tuneful
enough to suit the most exacting
ear. While the performance was
built for laughing purposes only,
the management has supplied some
scenic environment to please the
eye. 1t is thoroughly refined and
free from objectional features and
full of bright and popular music,
which is characteristic of the
negro. The Clio is replete with
several clever stunts and possess
es all the popular requirements,
! fun, song hits, good comedians,
graceful dancers, beautiful cos
tunes and electrical effects.
The organization is accompanied
by solo concert band and a
superb orchestra. The band will
head the Koontown parade, taking
place at noon.

most to their milage between points
in passing through the mountain
Gus regions. The distance across
Montana from east to west is about
$50 miles, but the Northern Pacific
goes nearly 800 miles to get across.
From Livingston, Montana. where
the Northern Pacific enters the
mountains, to Tacoma, it's termin-
us on Puget Sound, a direct line
distance is less than 600 miles, but
the road is nine hundred miles long
from one of these points to the
other.
The Great Northern commences
its climb of the Rockies at Black
foot, Montana, and terminates its
western course at Everett on Puget
Sound. A straight line distance
between the two points is 444 miles,
and the railway track is 666. The
Canadian Pacific attacks tie noun
tains at Banff, in Alberta, and
strikes the coast at Vancouver.
AS a crow might fly he could get
from one place to the other by 60
ing $50 miles, but the steam engine
requires $50 miles to cover the dis
lance.
Crossing the mountain ranges
the roads are obliged to follow the
clay of the land" seeking the low
est attitudes. 1t will be noticed
that in approaching the heights the
roads follow up the great rivers, for
these have made grade-a grad
ual descent. Following the me-
andering of the rivers the track is
necessa rily heightened. The great
rivers rise near the SUBMITS of the
ranges and near the crest one river
rises and flows east. Not many
miles away another rises and flows
west. The roads reach a height of
from 5000 to $500 feet above sea
level in crossing the Rockies. In
getting over the trains pass through
number of tunnels, some of which
are between two and three miles in
length. The Northern Pacific fol-
lows up the Yellowstone to the roof
of the Rockies from the east and
passes down the western slope
along the banks of Clarks Fork.
But here are good many words
and we have not commenced our
railway journey.

BIG INCREASE IN LIST
OF LOCAL AUT0ISTS

The sales that have already been
made this winter, and those that
are sure to be made before the
auto season gets under way, will
make large increase in the list of
automobile owners in this
city and immediate vicinity.
The Ramer Auto Co., which is the
only agency in the city which
devotes its time exclusively
to the one line of machines (the
others carry the auto agency as a
side line) reports the sale of near
ly twenty machines during the
winter months. Among the new
Ford owners are ]. B. Baker, ]. H.
Stirratt, P. M. Collins, Alvin
Anderson, Paul Heiman, Steve
Phenning, Chas. K. Hooking, E. A.
Fuller, ]. C. KnowltoD, Lars
Larson, Chas. Wolff, T. c, Jack
man and A. Tingwall. The Carisch
agency shipped in a carload of
Buick machines recently and two
of the roadsters in this lot were
purchased by DR.. w. G. Fortune
and C. F. H enrich.
With the going" of the snow
and the coming of the good
wheeling motor enthusiasm is
increasing, and there is every
prospect that the next two months
will more than double the winter
sales of the local agencies.

The basketball tournament to
decide the high school champion
ship of Northwestern Wisconsin is
being held at Menomonie the last
three days of this week. The
Ellsworth high school is there to
represent this district, which in
cludes the counties of Pierce, Pep
in and Buffalo. The other districts
will be represented by the following
high school quints: Superior, Ash
land, Rice Lake, Stanley,
Menomonie an Arc d a.
The Ellsworth term is pretty light
to compete with some of the older
players of the larger high schools,
but win or lose, the County Seat
boys can be depended upon to play
fair and clean, and the fine manly
spirit they have shown in all of
their games this season justly
entities them to represent this
district, even if they hadn't the
good fortune to come off victorious
in their games.

A fire in the furnace has
generally been very satisfying dur
ing the cold of the past few months,
but it caused quite a stir" about
one O'Clock Monday morning at the
Boles restaurant. Sam Nelson had
put in the kindling in the oven fur
mace and had all in readiness to
touch off when he came down in
the morning, but there were few
smoldering Goals in the ashes and
started the blaze off bit
prematurely, which the result that
Mr.. Boles and his son, who were
sleeping upstairs in the building,
awoke about one o'clock to find
the entire building filled with
smoke. 1t took them some time
to discover that the fire was in the
furnace, and after the fues had
been opened to let the smoke out
the chimney it took longer time
to get the air in the building
cleared.

CHEESE FACTORY PROJECT

The meeting recently announced
in the Star Observer for the purpose
of organizing creamery or cheese
factory in the Prescott Roads
vicinity was held as advertised
at the home of Chris Fable, and
though the weather was unpro-
pitious for an attendance of farmers
such as was desired there was a
goodly number out. We are advised
that the scheme is meeting with the
greatest encouragement and that
1t has been fully determined to be
feasible in all respects. Another
meeting is scheduled for this week
when permanent org anization
will be perfected and the site
determined on for the factory, which
lies in the choice of one of two sites
advocated, Prescott Roads corner
and the brick schoolhouse.
Since Mr.. Fables return from
Europe and his report of the count
less numbers of cheese factories
in Switzerland, in close touch with
each other and all enjoying the
highest degree of prosperity, the
enthusiasm over the new factory is
greater than ever before. This was
a great industry in Mr.. Fables
native country when he left it in his
early youth, but it has so multiplied
during his absence that he could
scarce believe the evidence that
confronted him everywhere on
his visit to the old Fatherland.-

DIR. Allison with few we'll chosen

Hon. Allen P. Weld of this
city is candidate for reelection as
County Judge, and SO far as has
developed, he will have no
opposition, but when man is a
candidate for public Office and has
good record he is always glad
of publicity. The Journal is
therefore, giving few facts with
reference to the Judge.
He was born at North Yarmouth,
Maine, in 1889, attended the
common schools in that vicinity
and was graduated from Dartmouth
College, New Hampshire in 1859.
After his graduation, he came
west, but in a short time he return
, ed east and commenced the study
of law, graduating from the Albany
Law School in 1867 He was ad-
mitted to practise in that year and
opened a law Office in River Falls in
1869, and from that time he has
practised law here.
In 1895, he was appointed County
Judge of Pierce County, and has
since held that Office, giving the
County faithful and efficient
service in that capacity. That his
services have been appreciated is
best evidenced by the fact that he
has been returned to office at every
succeeding election since his
appointment and that he will not be
opposed at the coming election.
