GREATEST CANAL SLIDE.
Ten Million Yards Of Earth Must be
Dreued Out to Secure Passage.

Ten Million Yards Of Earth Must be
Dreged Out to Secure Passage.
Panama. survey of the slide area
in the Gaillard Cut shows that prob
ably 100000 cubic yards of earth
must be dredged out before a perman-
ent channel through the cut is pos
sible. This is the conclusion reached
by the canal engineers who concede
there is now little hope of opening the
waterway much before the first of the
year. The present rate of excavation
is 100000 yards a month and at this
rate it would require 10 months to
remove the mass sliding into the
canal.
The area of motion is roughly cal
culated to be in the neighborhood of
ITS acres, which constitute the great
est slide area in the canals history.
1t extends $500 feet along both banks,
with probably an average of $500 feet

Warrior of Today,

George Wharton Pepper said at a
luncheon at the Pittsburgh training
camp for officers:
"The methods of warfare have
changed enormously in the past year.
The sword, for example, is no longer
carried. The sword has quite disap-
peared from war.
"A story comes from the Argonne
about a French chasseur who took a
German officer prisoner. The chasseur,
a boy, tyro, said to the officer: p
"'Give up your sword"
But the officer shook his head and
answered:
"1 have no sword to give up. But
won't my vitriol spray, my oil projec-
tor or my gas cylinder do as well. 2 :"

CLUB ROOMS OPENING.

The new hall and club rooms of the
Knights of Columbus, Council 1869,
will be formally opened, Wednesday
evening, Feb. 10, 1915.
A very interesting program has
been arranged by the lecturer of the

Parnell Egan of Chicago, will be the
leading numbers on the musical pro-
gram, while State Deputy Walter NJ.
Burke of Kenosha and State Secretary
w. o. Mcguire of Baraboo, will be
among the principal speakers of the
evening. If present plans materialize
the event will be most enjoyable
one. Plans are about completed for
the banquet which promises to be an
elaborate affair.
The Council has invested heavily in
rugs, chairs, fixtures and other fur
nishings for the the club rooms, and
the new hall, which will undoubtedly
present most inviting appearance to
the local knights. The committee
has subscribed for all leading maya
zines and newspapers and will also
maintain library and reading room

YOU CAN DO THIS.

The Eau Claire Leader, in com.
menting on the experience of one
farmer in Northern Wisconsin, says
Louis Blanchard twelve years age
bought the Fourboul farm on the up
per Chippewa river, then supposed to
be on the outskirts of civilization.
He had only 800 to pay down, but he
had what was better, plenty of energy
and not afraid to work. Today he
has the farm clear, twelve head of
horses, twenty-five cattle, eighteen
hogs and 80 acres cleared, and holds
the place at $4,000. He raised on
three acres and a half 1000 bushels Of
potatoes and picked 1900 baskets of
corn from fourteen acres.
There are great possibilities of
young men or women who have the
courage to cut out the easy life and

STEVENS POINT WANTS IT.
The Co Operative Packing Plant Though
Started by Wsusau Hen as Waasau
Institution May Go Elsewhere.

The past week has developed that
the Cooperative Packing plant may
go elsewhere tllan at Wausau. The
prime movers in the new enterprise
were enthusiastic men of our city,
who thought enough stock could be
sold in the county to build and oper-
ate the plant. Men were brought in
to dispose of the stock and to promote
the enterprise. Stock has been sold
in Marathon, Portage, Clark, Wood;
Shawano, Price, Langlade and Lincoln
counties. Sale was started in Wausau
first and it was loudly proclaimed
that it was to be Wansau institu-
ton, and it was so stated in the
articles of incorporation. In ether
counties we understand it was later
given out that il was to be placed
wherever majority of the stockhold-
ers wanted it. Itcan be readily seen
how easy it is to get an affair of this
kind into mix-up. A bunch of
Stevens Point boosters came to Wau-
sau on Thursday, consisting of Super
intendent G. E. Urbahns of the 500
line, President c. S. Orthman of the
Business Mems association, Secretary
L. j. Seeger of the Retailers associa-
ton, President John f. Sims of the
Normal school and T. HI. Hanna.
Accompanying them in the role of
boosters for the city were w. II. Kill
len of Minneapolis, land and indus
trial commissioner for the 500 line,
A. G. Wilson of Neenah, division
freight agent for the same road, G. FL.
Smith of Green Bay, trainmaster for
the Green Bay g. Western and j. B.
Cooney of Winona, freight and pas
senger agent for the Green Bay &
Western.
OF course, a visit made so quietly
and Unexpectedly in manner usually
pursued by the people of that city,
rather startled the stockholders of
Wausau, who thought they had lead
pipe cinch on the plant. However,
they now have their second wind and
the scrap will be lively one from
now on TO the finish.
The Pointers are putting up the
fight on the grounds that their city
has the greatest natural advantages;
the best transportation facilities and
the most desirable labor conditions,
all of which statements are of little
weight when comparisons are made
with this the metropolis of the Wis
consin river, but even so, we have
known the "best laid plans of mice
and men, to come to naught, that
may happen to the Steven Pointers
and it may happen to Wausau pro-
moters if they do not get hustle on
themselves.

DATE CAN BE EXTENDED.

Many were feeling somewhat blue
last week to think tax time was here,
and that, by Feb. 1st, if they were not
paid an additional two per cent would
have to be added. On Tuesday last a
bill was passed in the assembly ex-
tending the time from Feb. 1st to the
lst of March, in which to pay taxes,
without paying the extra two per
cent. and passed the senate on
Wednesday and went into the hands
OF the governor for his signature and
then was published in the state paper
and become law. In most of the
cities in Wisconsin, common councils
were called before Jan. 81, and the
time extended to March LIST. This
was not done in Wausau, but the
PILOT is informed that tie city coun-
Gil will act upon the question tonight
at its regular monthly meeting. Those
who went to the city treasurer last
Saturday were told that they must
pay on Saturday if they wanted to be
sure of saving the two per cent. and
consequently they scraped up the
money in some way and paiS. Others
run the chances of the council extend
ing the time. Another month will
be great help to many tax payer.
The argument of those who are against
extending the time is that the small
tax payers have already secured their
tax receipts, while the large taxpayer
or wealthy man waits until the last
moment, and is the one who will reap
the benefit of the extension. This is
no excuse at all. Supposing a few
wealthy ones do profit by the extern
sion, if it enables only moderate
number of our hard-pressed citizens
to pull through the hard winter. the
time should be extended. 1t will be
NJ loss to our C, " and a great help to
many to extend the time.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Wausau High School basket
ball team was defeated last Friday
evening at Green Bay where they
played che West Green Bay team.
The final score of the game was IS to
10. The game was clean and was fast
but the locals had been used to a
large gym such as the Y floor, and
the floor at Green Bay was very small
about the size of the local high
school gym. For this reason the team
work and passing Of the red and white
was not as good as usual Almost
every score of their opponents was
made from the middle of the floor or
tbereabouts. The Wausau team has
not been defeated by high school
bunch before this year. The fact that
they lost this one game wiz not in
terfere with their chances 90 enter
the state tournament which will be
held at Appleton as usual An effort
may be made to get Green Bay here
for game as the locals would like to
have another chance.
Practice on the play and opera to be
given by the graduating class this
year will begin directly after the
spring vacation which comes about
the latter part of March. The PLAY
and the opera to be given have not as
yet been decided on.
Only two weeks more remain before
the debating teams have their first
debate. The affirmative team will
remain in this city while the negative
will journey either to Grand Rapids
or Marshtield, it is not known which.
Both teams are working hard to per-
feet their speeches and it is hoped to
have them completed within a day
or so. Both teams and their coaches
Goodrich and Maynard, met at the
high school saturday morning where
good work was accomplished.
The usual Monday evening lecture
was not given last evening because of
the address to be given in the even
ing by Helen Keller. There has been
an indefinite postponement of the
address which was to be on "Roads
and their Making" 1t is thought
that the stereopticon views and talk
would be most interesting to the
members of the county board and so
an arrangement may be made SO that
they may hear the talk and see the
pictures at their annual meeting in
April.
DR.. Kallinberg, dean of the Physi-
cal department of the Y. M. c. A.
college of Chicago, H., will address
the high school on Friday afternoon,
February twelfth. He is prominent
in the promotion of athletics. The
subject of the. talk will be "a New
Trend of Athletics in High School
and College,"
Next Friday evening the local high
schools basketball team will play An
tigo high at the Y. M. G. A. The
game is always one of the most con-
tested of the season and the one Fri
day will be no exception. 1t will be
mighty exciting and a great deal
hinges on the out come. The Wau-
sau highs second team will play the
Business college as preliminary.
