3 Interest in deer hunting seems to be
on the wane, owing to the inclement
weather aud lack of snow, and only
two kills have been added to the list,
Herbert Newell and Irving Smith each
securing a buck. A few deer have
been seen in close proximity to the
village, and one fair-sized buck which
yeutured too near was saluted by l6
shots, but went on his way unframed.
Comparatively few hunters are now in
the woods, "the army apparently
waiting for snow.

Mr.. Miller says:-

changes have stated, that the recent
emergency regarding the Judiciary was
not foreseen by the Legislature of 1912
whatever may have been true in 1910.
When the amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for later date for elec-
tions and the meeting of the Legisla-
ture was under discussion in the House
of Representatives, Hon. Charles d.
Watson of st. Albans city emphatieally
predicted the exact situation which
lately arose, and stated that should the
amendment be adopted he could see nc
escape from the necessity Of the ap
pointment of judges by the governor
for the next 10 years. that is, until the
next opportunity to amend the consti
tuition. Notwithstanding the warning

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Something new to this city is be-
ing undertaken by E. w. Branden-
burg and c.. f. Ogden. About a
week ago an endeayor was being
made to get up rousing closing ban
quet for the High School Boys club
which has been having supper at the
Y regularly once week with discus
sion groups after. Now a closing
banquet which is thought suitable
will be given at the Y. 1t will be
for father and son and no fathers will
be admitted without his or an adopted
son. A large number of the men of
this city have signed up to be there
with their sons. This is something
new and there ought to be one hun
dred and fifty or two hundred at the
dinner.
The new tennis court is about as
sured and work on it will probably
begin in a very short time.
The boys who had been attending
the Y discussion groups every Tues
day evening were given test on the
work covered at the last meeting. A
large number OF young men took the
test.
The campus is filed every day after
school at one end of the field in
door baseball is going on continuous

FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

The III. e. McEachron Co. is erect
ing steel tower and water tank on
it's mill property on Clarke's Island,
in order to supply its automatic
water sprinkling system throughout
that establishment in case of fire.
The tower and tank is to be the same
as that of the Curtis & Yale Co. and
was made by the Wausau Iron Works.
in looking this thing over the
thought occurred to US, what splen-
did device-this tower and tank
would he for small villages as pro-
lection fro.ii IRE. The tank could Dc
filed With wsser and kept constantly
replenished by Windmill power, and
with pleht,.,Sl hose would always be
ready for immediate action in case OF
incipient blazts or threatened disas-
ter of this nature. The suggestion
may perhaps be worth looking into
and prove feasible, where villages
need some sort of protection in case
of visitations of this Kind.

The board abolished the boards of
trustees of the Marathon County
Training school and Marathon County
school of Agriculture and Domestic
Economy and turned this work over
to the county board of education.
This may be economy but the change
should have been postponed year.
On Wednesday morning the nnem-
beers of the board accepted an invi-
tation to visit the Marathon county
asylum, look over the premises and
remain to dinner. All report that
the grounds and Institution was never
in better condition and they have
been loud in their praise of M. Dun
can, the very able superintendent.
The dinner which was served at the
noon hour was done full iastice.
The board considered making the
court house square more of resting
place so that it can be of use to the
public in general, along the lines ex-
pressed by Mayor Ringle. The mat
ter was finally turned over to the
committee on public property.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the certain rumors concern
ing the purchase of lands in the town
of Stettin last fall for the county
asylum, made report to the effect
that it had mot been able to discover
any evidence sufficient to warrant
charging anyone with wrong doing"
The board again turned down the
publishers of the paoerS in the county
in the matter of printing the county
board proceedings. 1t is very evident
that majority of the board do not
care to have the proceedings read by
their constituents. The vote stood
% to 80, which was quite difference
from the vote of last year, which was
nearly unanimous against having the
proceedings printed
The board adjourned on Friday
afternoon.
