WAUSAU
ELECTRICCO.
MAY COME HERE
Business Men Obtain Agreement of
Big Concern to Extend Electric
Lines to Stevens Point. Means
Unlimited Power.

From Stevens Point Journal:
News of vast significance in con-
nection with the future industrial de-
velopment of Stevens Point is con-
tanned in the announcement that the
Wisconsin Valley Electric Co., of
Wausau may be induced to extend it's
lines and almost unlimited electrical
power service to this city. Quiet
negotiations carried on by progress
slve business men of this city for two
or three years have at last resulted
in definite steps being taken to invite
the Wausau concern to develop in
this direction. The Wisconsin Val
ley Electric Co., already CONTROLS the
bulk of the available waterpower in
the Wisconsin River valley between
Stevens Point and Tomahawk. The
representatives of the company de-
clare they can furnish power and
lighting current to this city at a
lower figure than even the municipal
plants in the state and for much less
than the present rates being charged
here. Business men declare that
abundance of cheap electrical power
available here will mean substantial
industrial development of the city.
1t will also mean better lighting of
the streets.
Grand Rapids Proposition.
What is known as the Grand Rap
ids proposition has been dragging
along for years with no prospects of
materializing in the near future.
Six years ago or so the local power
development discussion was renewed
and of late it had again been talked.
The Grand Rapids men interested in
the Jackson Milling Co., which owns
the local waterpower, talked of build
ing a new dam near the 500 rail
road bridge, thus charging the power
somewhat, or of constructing a canal
along one side of the river below the
present dam and operating an cleo
trical power plant there. The pro-
motors wished the city to municipal

NEGRO KILLED AT DANCE.

Willie Neal, a negro about 2S years old, was shot in the back by an un- known person Saturday night and in- stantly killed. It seems that the party who did the deed was standing behind a tree near the dance hall and watch ing Neal, who was in the house taking part in the dancing, and when he came near enough to the window the party fired, the bullet striking Neal in the back and coming out near the shoul- der. The shooting took place at q negro lodge hall a little ways below the Iron Mountain station.
 At the coroner's inquest held yes terday morning the jury was absolute ly unable to get a clue from the tes- timony of any of the witnesses.
 Neal was fined $5000 by Mayor Hamby last Thursday for carrying a pistol and on the same day testified against other negroes charged with the same offense.

So it was cut and stacked and in March, 1916, threshed He sold the seed and got $231 from the two acres. His culture was the proper thing to grow alfalfa seed.
