IN CENTER OF STATE.
A city of $4,000 people, covering an
area of 81 square miles, Wausau is
located on both banks of the Wiscon-
sin river, in the geographical center
of Wisconsin. IL is clean and pretty
city with well kept homes. Less than
/ per cent of the population rent their
houses. Two important railways en-
ter the city, giving good freight and
passenger facilities. The summers
are cool and comfortable; the winters
dry and pleasant.
There are many substantial busi-
ness blocks and good public improve
ments, including electric lighting,
gas, city water, macadamized streets,
efficient police and fire departments
and a good sewerage system. several
of the principal streets are paved
with creosoted wooden blocks or
brick, and have ornamental lamps,
with electric wires underground.
There is local telephone company
operating an automatic system, with
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1914-03-10

1862 subscribers, while long distance
connections are made through the
Wisconsin Telephone company. A
street railway company operates nine
miles of surface lines, linking the VIII
lagos of Schofeld and Rothschild and
the amusement parks with the city.
Among the public buildings are the
Marathon county court house in the
center of the city, new city hall,
federal building, free public library
placed in well arranged park, a
$50, 900 Y. NJ. c. A, building, %
church buildings, an excellent high

ings, with large grounds, represent

building used by the Marathon Coun-
ty training school for teachers and
the county school of agricultural and
domestic economy located in the
western part of the city.
SCHOOLS SOURCE OF PRIDE.
Wausau takes much pride and inter-
est in its schools. There are at this
time about $500 pupils in the public
schools, and a corps of 1I2 teachers.
There is also a modernl business
college and an Industrial school,
besides the county schools previously

AMPLE PLACES FOR PLAY

Among the local points of interest
and attraction are natural park of
so acres west of the city, the property
of the Marathon County Agricultural
Society, with buildings and accommo-
dations for the society's annual fair.
There, is beautiful pine grove on
the property, and the grounds are
free for the use picnic and pleasure
parties throughout the summer sea-
son.
Lake Wausau is formed by the dam
of the Marathon Paper Mills Company
across the Wisconsin river at RGths-
child. 1t has an area of eight square
miles and affords facilities for boating,
canoeing and bathing. Rothschild
park, on the shores of this lake, with
large stone pavilion, the property of
the Wausau Street Railway Company,
is a popular resort in summer for
picnic and excursion parties. The
pavilion will seat several thousand
people and is used for summer Chau-
tauqua courses. Rib -hill, five miles
west, the highest point in the state,
is covered with tumbled mass of
boulders. Many picnic parties visit
it every summer.

consin and neighboring states are still
accessible to Wausau mills, and there
are four large saw mills in the city
and one at Schofield running at full
capacity and manufacturing more
than 100, 100000 feet of lumber yearly
There are also sash, Ndoor and blind
factories, foundry and machine shops,
furniture, box, veneer, excelsior and
sandpaper factories, flour mills, paper
mills and granite works Wausau
capital invested in paper mills in this
vicinity amounts to more than S5,000,-
600, and is evidenced by three large
mills, one of which, that of the Mara
thon Paper Mills Company, is said to
be the best constructed and equipped
paper mill in the world. These mills
manufacture excellent grades of paper,
and have yearly labor pay roll of
more than 100000.
Central and northern Wisconsin are
fast developing into great dairying
ano agricultural region, and Wausau
as the metropolis of the Wisconsin
river valley realizes that this insures
permanent and ever increasing
source of growth through all the
city's varied lines of commerce and
industry.

HOLDS LEAD.
The Roost Team is Defeated BUSH ness
College Gives Seniors Hard Game.

Last Tuesday evening at the Y. NJ.
c. A, the Y league games came off
between the Seniors and Business
college and the high school and
Roosts. Both games were as close
and as hard fought as any ever seen
on the Y floor The first between the
High school and Roost gave the high
their sixth consecutive victory and
enabled them to remain in the lead
with a perfect record of six games
won and none lost. The game was
very fast and was in all probability
the best played game of the league up
to date. Every player on both sides
played an exceptionally fine game.
Otto Eggebrecht and Pope Of the
thigh school lead their team in baskets,
getting five and four while the leaders
on the Roost were Carl Eggebrecht
and Bill Lampert both of whom
secured four field baskets. The line
up was as follows: The Roost-
Frank Mumm, Bill Lampert, Herbert
Christian and Hans Lund: the High
School-Joseph Pope, Herman Riebe,
Otto Eggebrecht, Charles Pond and
Albert Mohr. The score was 33 to %
the High in the lead.
Following this fast and exciting
game the Seniors played the Business
college and if they expected an easy
game they were very much mistaken.
The college team showed up better
than it has all season and it could
easily be seen that is is rapidly i'm
proving. The score was very close,
there being only two points lead for
the Seniors at the end. Although
the Business college has no games to
its credit now, this does not mean
that it is in last place for good--no, it
is going to rise if it can possibly do
so and with those men who were in
jured at the first of the season back
in the game, they are sure to give the
other teams scrappier games. The
lineup for the Seniors was made up of
Torgerson, Lampert, Hudloff, Wagner,
Kreuger: for the Business college
.Wirth, Lodholtz, Loeffier, Bloczynski
and BARTLETT. The score was "a to -
in favor of the seniors.
