shoes and gents furnishings. His

Hotel Maple. Mrs. MCGEE runs one
of the best hotels along the line and
the commercial men are giving the

ing. Besides a complete stock of
drugs, Mr. Pomeroy informs us that
he will handle confectionery and to-
baccOs.
Erects Fine Opera House
J. L. Kobliska is one of the 'livest
wires" that ever manipulated the
wires at Wirehouser. Mr.. Kobliska,
who is the 500 Line depot agent,
completed in September a new OPP
era house that his town can well be
proud Of
This large building is 81 feet wide
and 80 feet long, the opera house
occupying the north 80 feet the en-
tire length of the building. The di-
mansions Of the stage are 14x30 and
it's depth is sufficient to give ample
room for any performance. There
are dressing rooms on both sides OF
the stage and Mr.. Kobliska has in
stalled a new piano, hi3h-grade in
strument. The hall is of course
electrically lighted. There is NOV
ing-picture booth at the rear, over
the main entrance, and here we were
shown one of the very latest and
best projecting machines manufac-
tured. Picture shows are given in
this fine theater on Wednesday and
Saturday evenings of each week
rhe front end of the other part of
the opera house building is occupied
by a pool room and G. 2. Alvey's
barber-shop Mr. Alvey came here
recently from Bruce. At the rear
there is a restaurant conducted by
Stevens & Sanders, who opened up
for business the first of November.
Mr.. Kobliska is another of the pi-
oneers of this town. He came to
Weyerhaeuser % years ago as tele-
graph operator. With the excep-
ton of five years spent at Pennlng-
ton. when the division was located
there, Mr.. Kobliska has resided at
Weyerbaeuser ever since. He re-
turned from Pennington as agent,
which position he has held the past
II years, most acceptably to his
company and to the people Of Weyer-
haeuser. 1t would be hard to find
more capable nor obliging agent than
Mr.. Kobliska.
A New Garage
Wallucks Bros. have just complet-
ed an up-to-date garage, at the rear
of which they have also blacksmith
shop. They have put up a very
creditable frame building, 34x70 in
ground dimensions, with cement
floors throughout. M. A. and j.
Wallucks are the members Of this
enterprising firm.

ness places opened up this year is
the restaurant and confectionery
store of j. E. Elwood. Mr.. Elwood
moved his family from Strickland to
his present home this spring. He has
been a resident of Rusk county for
Is years, having spent the greater
part of this time on a farm near
Chetek.

One of the improvements that is
most noticeable in Weyerhaeuser is
the hundreds of feet of new cement
walks that were put in this year.
