WISCONSIN ADVANCE
MENT ASSOCIATION
Begins ON the Sixth Year of It's Ex-
istence. Many Acres of Land
Sold i'm Northern Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Advancement aSSo-
citation has commenced ON the sixth
year of its existence and it is very
certain that it has been instrumental
in selling indirectly many thousands
of acres of land to settlers in nor
thern Wisconsin, thereby greatly as
sisting in the rapid development of
this region.
While the association has done a
great deal it could not have done
much without the liberal support of
newspapers. 1t has sent out a sheet
weekly to every paper in Wisconsin
and articles of social interest taken
from the same and published. For
this work the newspapers have re-
ceived nothing. The association has
done much in putting out agents and
furnishing public speakers. The
prices on wild lands in northern Wis
consin have not advanced, but this
cannot last indefinitely. The time is
not far distant when lands will in
crease as they have all over the
southern and central part of the
state.
What has been added to the wealth
of the state by the settlement that has
prevailed during the six year period
covered by the Wisconsin Advance
ment association, it would be difficult
to estimate but it is evident that
these settlers have added an aggre-
gate of scores of millions of dollars to
the tax rolls of the state. They will
continue making annual additions to
WisconsiD's wealth, and other thou
sands will follow and join them in
the work.

FROM BERLIN TO
GRAND RAPIDS
Reports Again In Circulation That
Milwaukee Road win Som
Start Improvement.

Reports are again in circulation
that the Chicago, Mil. & ST. Paul
railway will in the near future build
an extension of its northern division
of the st. Paul road at that point
This is an extension which has been
in contemplation by the Milwaukee
road people for long time 1t was
not however authorized at the annual
meeting of the road in September
when it was announced that the only
improvement in contemplation by the
board of directors of the road for the
coming year was the completion of
the mountain electriication on the
Pacific coast extension.
1t is said the matter of the extern
sion of the Northern division from
Berlin north to Grand Rapids has
been under consideration since by the
executive committee and that railway
men believe if it has not already been
authorized it soon will be. The sur
veys for the line have already been
made and if the line should be COM
pleted it would give the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul company a shorter
line than it now has from northern
Wisconsin points to Milwaukee and
Chicago.

sparkling branches on the trees in

along our streets presented a beauti-
full scene, especially in the evening
after the city was lighted. In the
woods the ground and trees have
been covered with ice, and the birds
that stay here over winter have suf-
fered severely and many have died on
account of not getting food and shell
ter. The icy weather caused walking
on the streets as well as sidewalks

1916 CHAUTAUQUA
VIII Be Held in Large Tent on the
Y. Nj. c. A. Grounds.

Arrangements are being made to
hold the next Chautauqua in Wausau,
and not at the Rothschild pavilion as
heretofore, and to this end it is given
out that a large tent will be put up
on the Y. M. c. A. grounds, thus
bringing the entertainment to the
very doors of the homes of our city.
This will be vast saving to families
who have heretofore had to pay street
car fare to and from the pavilion sew
eral times each day. The accommo-
dations will not be as good as at the
pavilion, but if there is no rain or
thunder storms will not suffer at the
change. 1t is believed that the atten-
dance will be greatly enhanced by
having the entertainments given in
the heart of the city.

MUCH DAMAGE TO PHONES

Hundreds of thousands of dollars
damage was done to the Wisconsin
telephone lines in Wisconsin during
the recent heavy sleet storm. At
Stevens Point Ill phones were re-
ported out of order. The damage in
Portage county alone was fully
S5O. 900. Cables were destroyed and
whole lines of poles were broken
down. In the Eau Claire district the
damage was about $4,000. Notwith-
standing WauSau was visited by the
same storm. the Wausau Telephone
company suffered no loss to speak of.
A few weak poles went down, but no
telephones were put out of commits
sion. In the business district, all ca
bles were under ground and no dam
age resulted, otherwise with the mass
of heavy cables there would have
been much damage.

CITY COUNCIL

n6 regular ulCSLluS Vi tic lily
council was held on Tuesday evening.
Mayor Ringle presiding.
1t was voted to extend the time for
paying taxes to March 1st. This
should have been done at the January
meeting. The man who has large
taxes to pay, does not care to run the
risk of passing by the time set by
law, which says "Taxes not paid be-
fore Feb. 1st shall be subject to a
penalty of per cent" The law how
ever provides that the time may be
extended to March 1st by a two
thirds vote of the council. The
council waits until the night of Feb.
1st, and if the tax payer had taken
chances and the council refused to
extend the time, he would have to pay
the two per cent extra. Under these
conditions the large tax payers felt
they must pay before Feb. 1st. The
small tax payer could afford to take
chances because he would not have
SO much to pay if there was no ex-
tension of time Hereafter it would
be we'll for the council to take action
in January and give all a fair
shake"
