IT is impossible to develop Wiscon-
sin water powers under the present
law, members OF the Wisconsin Elec-
trical association were told in a paper
on Latent Water Powers and Diff
culties of Development Under the
New Wisconsin Water Power Law"
read on Friday at session in the
Hotel Pfister. The paper was by
Daniel w. Mead, a consulting engi-
neer of Madison, but because of the
inability of Mr.. Mead to be present it
was read by another delegate. ''Ten
million dollars worth of coal would
be saved If the latent water power of
the state were developed" Mr.. Mead
wrote. Goal is a source of power
which is constantly on the decline,
while water power is indestructible,
so that the indirect benefit to the
public of the use of the water power
instead of the coal would be great"
Mr.. Mead wrote .het it was true
that business conditions have been
such that no development of water
power would have been attempted
during the two years the law has been
in effect, but that when business con-
dltions improved the law would act
as an obstacle to the improvement of
the water powers.

WAUSAU CLUB.
VIII be Greatly Improved Ovid Belang-
er Secured as Manager.

Many changes are being planned for
the Wausau club house the coming
spring. The billiard room in the
basement is to have steel beams placed
in it which will enable the iron posts
TO be taken out and, thereby, more
room given for the players. 1t is
thought that the main stairway go
ing to the dance hall will be changed,
going up from the ladies' parlor, and
several of the cloak rooms enlarged
Last evening at meeting of the
directors, Ovid Belanger was engaged
as manager and he will commence on
the duties February 1st. Mr.. Belang-
er has had large experience in such
work, having been in charge of the
Rothsc.ild pavilion for several years,
looking after the cafe, dance hall, sale
of cigars, etc. He will be valuable
man at the club. President E. G.
Dawley is devoting much of his time
to the club and has mapped out a
course which is going to make the
club much more popular, if pos
sible, than ever before. Among
other things the club house will be
reprinted in the spring.
