WAUsAU, Wis, March THE new
granite working plant of the Ander-
son Bros. g. Johnson CO., which re-
Gently moved from Granite Heights
to Wausau, is now practically COM
pIete and in full operation. 1t is per-
haps the best equipped plant of its
kind in the country.
The building is of brick and steel
construction, well lighted and meas
ures 6Ox3O0 feet. 1t was completed
just as the first cold weather of the
winter set in. During the night of
Nov. heavy wind, which did dam
age in different parts of the state,
destroyed the entire north end wall
of the building and section of the
roof. Although the failure of the
wall was not due TO any fault of con-
struction, the Coddington Engineer
ing company of Milwaukee, who had
the contract, telegraphed their will
ingness to repair the damage, and ten
days later the building was again
complete, an extra steel truss being
placed in both end walls to safeguard
against any recurrence of the acci-
dent.
The north and south doors of the
building are large enough TO admit
freight cars and a railroad sidetrack
runs through the entire length of the
building and out into the yard at the
north end. A ten ton electric travel
ing crane serves for loading and un-
loading cas- and handling the rock in
the three different rooms into which
the blilding is divided by low parti-
tionS.
The granite enters the building at
the south end, being unloaded from
the cars in the roughing room. Here
The blocks are cut approximately to
size By three roughing machines. The

CENTRAL WISCONSIN
PRESS CLUE FORMED
Craftsmen Band Together For Mutual
Advancement at Marshfield Friday.

The Central Wisconsin Press associ-
alton, an organization embracing
newspaper editors and publishers and
proprietors of job printing plants, in
the counties of Clark, Langlade, Lin
coin, Marathon, Portage, Taylor and
Wood and any contiEguous territory
that may be determined upon in the
future, was organized at Marshfeld
on Friday. The purpose of the as
sociation is to bring about a closer CO
operation between the printers of the
district and to advance their social
and financial interests.
The idea of forming a press associa-
tion was conceived several weeks ago,
Z. b. Barr, associate editor of the
Marshieid Times, being its most ac-
tive advocate. That the plan met
With favor is clearly demonstrated by
the fact that thirty men eligible to
membership attended the organiza-
tion meeting, while at least five 9TH
expressed desire to join.
An afternoon session was held at
the city hall, wher plans were tenta-
lively formulated, views exchanged
and a committee was appointed to
draw up suitable set cf resolutions.
A banquet took place at Hotel Blod-
gett at O'Clock in the evening, when
M. c.. Douglas of the Dunn County
News, Menomanie, gave splendid
talk on undermining the Country
Newspaper" The committee on
resolutions then reported and the as
sociation was formally organized.
The officers chosen are as follows:
President-E. B. Barr, Marshtield
Times.
Vice-President-L. Williamson
Neillsvile Times.
ry-Treasurer-B. E. Walters,
Mosinee Times.
President Barr appointed an ex-
ecutive council, consisting of one
member from each county, as follows
Henry Berner, Amigo Journal; c. e.
Crothers, Neillsyille Republican Press;
w. A. Drumb, Grand Rapids Tribune;
j. S. Voemestek, Rib Lake Herald;
e. B. Thayer, WaIlsau Pilot; E. d.
Glennoh, Stevens Point Gazette, and
r. G. Lee, Tomahawk Leader.
Meetings of the association will be
held thrice yearly-the annual meet
ing on the third Friday of June and
business meetings ON the third Fri
day in October and the third Friday
in February. 1t is planned TO make
the June meeting q semi-social-gath-
ering, to which members will be eX-
pected to bring their families.
Marshfield extended cordial in
to the visiting craftsmen,
nineteen cities and viii
lagos, namely: Stevens Point, Neills-
vile, Withee, Dorchester, Mosinee,
Grand Rapids, Pittsville, Unity,
Granton, Rib Lake, Antigo, Nekoosa a,
Greenwood, Colby, Vesper, Edgar,
Marathon City, Loyal and Abbots-
ford. The city was theirs from the
time they arrived until they depar ted
and a fine spirit of enthusiasm pre-
vailed. That the new organization
will be a permanent institution, work
ing for better things for central Wis
consin as well as for its members is
expected Stevens Point

Former Stevens Pointer Has Become
Captain Of Big Battleship.

The super-dreadnaught Texas, the
most powerful battleship afloat in
the world today, was placed in COM
mission at Norfolk, Va, March Il,
and has Joined the Atlantic squadron.
This monster of the sea is 573 feet in
length, is propelled by engines of
5000 horse power and draws 28 feet
6 inches. Her principal armament
consists of ten fourteen inch guns
and twenty-one five inch guns. The
fourteen inch guns are the largest
that have ever been placed on bat
tleship by any nation. The contract
price of the vessel and machinery
was S5, $4,000, but with armament
added the total cost was swelled by
several millions.
This monster addition to the Amer
ican navy is commanded by Capt.
Albert w. Grant, who was born and
received his early education in Stew
ems Point. He is son of the late
E. B. Grant and is brother of Cros-
by H. Grant, now of Karinen, South
Dakota, and Forest III. Grant and
Mrs. Martha Raker of Brooklyn, New
York. He was appointed cadet in
the naval academy at Annapolis in
1871 or 1872. 72.-Stevens Point Journal.
Capt. Grant is remembered by a
number of old time friends in this
city where he often visited, before
leaving for Annapolis and since which
time he has risen to such distinction.
The hope is that he will soon reach
the honor of Rear Admigalship of
the navy, a dignity further due his
ability.

by powdered emery and this soon
brings on smooth shiny surface. A
buffeting ring, with a soft fel-like
substance, completes the operation,
producing the fine CLASSY finish Of the
polished granite block.
1t was formerly the practice to have
one bed of rock for each polishing
machine, the beds measuring about
five feet wide and ten or fifteen feeG
long. In this new plant the machines
are so arranged that bed can be
placed on each side of the machine
This effects a great saving in the
machine operators time as the bed
on one side can now be polished while
a helper sets the bed on the opposite
side The excellent layout of the
buildings keeps the material moving
always in one direction, thus avoiding
confusion. The rough rock is taken
in at the south end of the building
either directly from the cars or from
the stock kept in the yard and is sent
through the roughing room, the cut
ting room, and the polishing room,
emerging at the north end cf the
building finished product.
Electric power is used throughout,
six motors being installed at present.
One 75-borsepower motor drives a
compound ali, compressor, which fur
nislles air at 100 pounds pressure for
operating the automatic chises and
air tools used in the cutting depart
meilt, and for running the rotIghing
ma.hines.
Marathon county quarries produce
