A MYSTERIOUS VISITOR

The A. N. Andersen home had a
rather mysterious, unlimited guest
for couple of hours early Sunday
morning. Mrs. Andersen was awak-
ened by someone prowling about in
the living room downstairs, but at
first thought it was one of the young
ladies rooming there. The heavy
footsteps of the intruder soon dis
PEELED that idea, but how to give an
alarm was the next problem, as the
telephone was not accessible without
confronting the unknown marauder.
The stranger finally started upstairs,
but everybody in the house was
awake by this time and hearing
footsteps he beat a retreat Nothing
was taken by the strange visitor,
who finally left the house, slamming
the door. He did not go down the
sidewalk, however, and no one in the
house caught a glimpse of him.

APKER TAKES NEW POSITION

A change took place this week on
the9 official staff of the Chetek State
Bank. A. M Simpson who has served
as assistant cashier so efficiently
since the bank organized has re-
signed to take a new position in the
banking circles of Minneapolis. In
his place the directors have chosen
B. M. Apker, a man by education and
experience, very we'll fitted for the
place. Mr.. Apker is now on duty.
He and Cashier Bernard Moe are
both we'll acquainted with the peo-
pie and the needs of this section
and their ability and trustwOrthiness
are Observation-Disclosures Alert.
The directors of the Chetek bank
have certainly picked a good man in
selecting Mr. Apker, one who is not
only fully capable but who will make
friends for the institution he is con-
nected with.
We regret to chronicle this piece
of news if it means that Rusk coun-
ty is to lose Mr.. Apker's efficient
services along the line of bringing
new settlers into the county. Apker
is a hustler. Rusk county needs
that kind of men.

NEW LAW FIRM

Falge & Stine is Ladysmith's new
est law firm, organized the first of
the week. Both members of the firm,
O. J. Falge and Geo. T. Slime, are
well known to Ladysmith people. Mr.
Falge has been located here over
four years, associated with the late
A. N. Andersen in the firm of An
dersen & Falge. His ability was
recognized in his appointment as city
attorney, over two years ago, and his
popularity here and throughout the
county was attested by his recent
nomination for district attorney of
Rusk county.
Mr.. Slime came here from Chicago
in February 1914, and for over two
years was associated with Atty T.
M. Thomas. He has spent the past
summer in southern Wisconsin and at
Detroit, returning to Ladysmith last
Saturday.
Judging from the personnel Of the
new firm there seems no doubt OF
its success.

WANT FREE CITY MAIL DELIVERY
Petition Being Circulated Asking fer
That Metropolitan Convenience
for Ladysmith

A petition is being circulated, and
at this writing has about two hum
dred signatures, asking the postoffice
department to inaugurate free mail
delivery in the city limits Of Lady
smith.
When a city reaches the point
where the receipts Of it's postoffice
exceed $4,000 per year, it is en-
titled to city mail delivery, under
the postoffice regulations, provided
there are proper sidewalks and the
houses are numbered. The News
Budget called attention to the fact,
about two years ago, that local post
office receipts had grown to point
that entitled Ladysmith to that met
ropolitan convenience, but no effort
at that time. Last spring the News
Budget mentioned the matter again
and there was some discussion OF
the proposition, but no one took the
initiative to bring the matter to the
attention of the department.
Finally, one Of our subscribers,
Mrs. Chas. Wirtenberger, took the
matter in hand. She wanted the con-
venience Of free city mail delivery
and decided the only way to get it
was to get busy herself. The peti-
tion is being generally signed and her
effort will no doubt be crowned with
success, as soon as the department
gets around to take the necessary
action.
In the meantime. number your
house if it has not already been num-
bered.
Ladysmith will undoubtedl dly get
free mail delivery, commencing next
July.

DRILLING FOR iron
AT WEYERHAEUS-
Err SINKING TEST DRILLS
IN SEARCH FOR ORE
START TO DRILL NIGHT AND DAY
Steel Trust Reported Tc Be Backing
Project.-lmportant Develop
ments May Result

Parties reported to be backed by
the steel trust have been doing a
great deal of prospecting for iron in
the immediate vicinity of Weyer-
haeuser and apparently they are
meeting with some success, Or the
efforts would ere this have been
abandoned
The same parties spent some time
at Weyerhaeuser looking for iron ore
seven or eight years ago, but the
matter was dropped at that time.
There is no doubt but there is iron
ore in the vicinity of Weyerhaeuser,
but the question is, whether it is in
paying quantity or not
A. w Robinson, of Milwaukee, has
spent the greater part of the summer
at Weyerhaeuser, getting options on
land, and taking magnetic and geo.
logical surveys. The parties doing
the work are very quiet about it, but
they are prosecuting the investigation
very diligently and the developments
may be very important for Rusk
county.
Drilling has been carried on daily
and according to reliable reports this
work will be carried on night and
day from now on. Drills are down
130 feet, we are told.
Further developments will be await
ed with interest. Iron ore is becom-
ing more and more valuable every
year now and with improved methods
of extraction ore that a few years
ago would not pay to mine will pay
dividends now.
