sau were considerably behind schedule
time, through no fault, however, of
the railroad companies, but much to
the inconvenience of their employees.
There seems to be feeling that
the Cooperative Packing plant is to
go to some other place than Wausau.
They want it at Marshfield and at
Stevens Point; but, alas, the bylaws
say that it shall be built in Wausau.

At Stevens Point the council has
extended the time to which taxes
can be paid without paying an extra
two per cent to March 1st. There is
no reason the same thing could not
have been done in Wausau. 1t would
have been no hardship to the city
and it would have helped rlany who
find it very hard to raise the money
in mid-winter.

ments are made.
The Jacob Mortenson Lumber Co.'s
mill is in operation again, night and
day, to the delight of its crews, with
a stock of 100000 feet of timber to
begin on and to turn into lumber.
This stock will keep the machinery,
saws, lumber graders, pliers, etc, in
busy motion for some months to come
and then some more upon the con-
slant arrival of additional timber
during the present and coming sea-
sons.
A few weeks ago our streets and
sidewalks were a mass of ice, on top
of this came a few inches of snow
which packed so that one could again
walk about without cutting didos.
The boys have, however, by con-
slant sliding, worn off the snow
in narrow strips and now it
is run three steps and slide. Every
walk in the city has its slides,
and the sport is enjoyed not only by
the boys, but by every man, woman
and child who is not wearing rubbers.
