TWO WONDERFUL AMERICAN
ACHIEVEMENTS

The electrification of 440 miles of
the main line of the Chicago, MiIwau-
kee & st. Paul Railway, between Har-
across the Great Continental Divide,
and the digging of the Panama Canal,
stand linked as the greatest engineer
ing achievement of this generation.
The Canal ushers in a new era in
ocean travel-the milwaukee" cleo
trifcatiOn heralds a new era in trans
continental railroading, mastering for
ever the stupendous obstacles of the
mountains, carrying traffic over the
massive barriers with ease and with a
pronounced saving in cost; decidedly
improving train operation, practically
eliminating all trouble from cold and
snow; making mountain travel clean
and mountain vistas clear, and by pro-
ducing power from mountain water
falls instead of from coal, taking a
definite step to conserve the worlds S
resources. The Milwaukee" is ever to
the fore in increasing travel comforts
and pleasures. The accomplishment
of the first extensive main line cleo
trification in the world is but another
item in the long list of its pioneering
achievements.
On your next trip to the Pacific
North Coast, take the "Olympian" or
Columbian" and enjoy the travel su-
premacy of the Milwaukee" Road.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
ARCHIE McD0UGALL

Archie McDougall, who took charge
of Library park, and who, also, had
been taking care of the work about
several homes in our city, died sud
denly Wednesday evening of heart
trouble. He had been at work clean
ing up the grounds of the park and was
seen at work as late as five o'clock.
He made his home with his brother,
Duncan. at 523 Steuben street. He
did not put in an appearance at sup
per time and later some alarm was
felt because it was known that he had
serious heart trouble. D. McDougall
went to the home of Frank Juneau,
janitor at the library, and together
with NJ. j. Cawley, they went to the
library grounds, thinking perhaps he
had been taken i'll and fallen down
on the side hill, among the shrubbery.
Mr.. Juneau went to the store room
in the basement to get a lantern and
there found Mr.. McDougall lying upon
lawn bench in his last sleep. This
was about nine o'clock. He had been
working in the park and perhaps, at
the hour of five, he went to the store
room to put away his garden tools
anu lay UOWH lOT d u1Oul00C TO rest
and was taken i'll with his old heart
trouble and passed away. This was
the conclusion reached by Coroner
Meilahn, and the others. Mr.. Nc
Dougall was kind old gentleman and
very much liked by those who had him
in their employ as we'll as by his hosts
of friends.
He was rs years of age, having been
born in Glengarry, Canada, on the
23d day of April, 1S41. Most of his
life was spent in that country. He
came to Wausau to live with his broth
er, Duncan, in 1908. He was unmar-
ried. Mr.. McDougallJ was quite an
athlete in his younger days, having
won important events at home and
abroad
The funeral services took place Sat
urday morning at o'clock at st.
James church, Rev. Father James J..
Brennan officiating. Burial was in
st. JOseph's cemetery.

SENATORIAL CONFERENCE

The republicans of the state met in
Milwaukee last Wednesday at D. M,
to select a candidate for U. S. Senator.
At the convention held in Madison last
January, it was thought best to call
convention in April to make the Sc
lection for U. S. Senator. And a COM
mittee, consisting of ten members
from the congressional districts of the
state, was appointed. EFF. Fairchild,
of Milwaukee, presided in the absence
of A. p. KletZsch.
Walter Alexander of this city, was
considered as a candidate for U. S.
Senator, but declined to allow his
name to go before the convention.
The informal ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Hudnall, IA; Monahan, 2; Bent
ley, 2; Whitehead, 2S; Jeffris, 40;
Cook, 4; Philip, /; McGovern, 8. In
the formal vote Jeffris received 65,

THE WISCONSIN RIVER KEEPS
GOING DOWN
Business Not Being Interfered With
Now by High Water.

For over week the waters of the
Wisconsin river have continued to re-
cede until now the stage is only an
ordinary one, it only being five or six
feet above the low water mark. The
railroad tracks of the ST. Paul road
at the east end of the high bridge,
were opened last Tuesday, since which
time all places of business have had
service. The mills that had to close
down on account of the back water,
resumed business Gu Wednesday and
some as early as Tuesday. The tracks
of the c. & n. w. R. R., leading on to
the Barker & Stewart island, which
were badly washed out, are again in
shape. 1t required twenty car loads
of gravel to put them in good condi-
tion again. This was done on Tues
day and Wednesday by a large crew
of men doing the work in remarkably
quick time.

PLACED RAIL ON TRACK

When Leonard Kohler, who has been
employed as night walker during the
past winter, started out on his beat
eastward Sunday night, and when he
had reached a spot about two miles
and eighty rods east of the village near
a curve and high dump, he was
shocked to find a rail across the c. &
n. w. r. r. track. He removed the
rail, of course, and with his lantern
searched the vicinity for the culprit
who had placed the rail on the track,
but he failed to see anybody and con-
tinued on his walk. The next morning
Mr. Kohler reported the affair to sec
tion foreman, Chas. Schoening. Mr..
Schoening and his crew at once start
ed for the place where the rail had
been found. Two tracks or foot prints
were discovered and followed east
ward for about a mile, when further
tracing was discontinued, there being
numerous other tracks that made ii
useless to try to continue the search

SWIMS THROUGH LITTLE BULL
FALLS

Last Wednesday afternoon Frank
Reidl, while running a gasoline launch
above Little Bull Falls at Mosinee, met
with an accident which nearly cost
him his life. The Mosinee Times says
THE boat struck a submerged dead
head and this disabled the engine so
that the craft became unmanageable
and while endeavoring to start his en-
gine the boat drifted rapidly down to-
wards the dam. The boat was not
equipped with oars and when the
young man discovered his predicament
he leaped into the water just before
the boat reached the top of the dam.
Workmen on the bridge saw his strug-
giles and heard his cry for help and
ropes were thrown into the river below
the bridge in hopes that the young man
would be able to catch one of them
For some time after he leaped into the
river he was not seen, but he succeed
ed in battling his way through the
sWirling waters and came to the surface
just above the bridge, miraculously
catching hold of one of the ropes"
He held on to the rope until his
strength gave out and then let go. He
passed through the whirlpool where
many men, in the past have lost their
lives, and succeeded in reaching the
island below the falls, where he was
taken off by men who hurried to his
assistance and he was taken to Dr.
TOwle's office. He was uriniured
1t was a great experience, as he had
passed over the most dangerous falls
on the Wisconsin river; had swan in
iCV waters over a ouartpr Of a mile
He must have been a strong swimmer,
and, of course, luck was with him
every second of the time. He will re-
member in the future that no one
should try to run a motor above dan
gerOus~rapids at any time. 1t is too
dangerous; the engines of such boats
are liable to stop just when you don't
want them to.

JOE NJ. CHApPLE
Talks Before the Rotary Club i'm Cyrus
Yawkey Hall, Tuesday Evening.

Joe M. Chapple, of Boston, Mass. of
the National Magazine, editor, author
| and orator, gave an address at the
First Universalist church in Cvrus
Yawkey hall, before the members of
the Rotary club, last Tuesday evening.
which, with invited guests, numbered
$50. All gathered in the parlors un-
til $50 when they repaired to the
dining room where supper was
served by the ladies of the church
The tables were centered with large
bouquets of cut flowers and at each
plate was small bouquet of arbutus.
At the east end of the dining room
the Rotary banner and electric wheel
were conspicuous with the stars and
stripes. Old familiar songs were sung
during the time the ladies were clear
ing the tables, after which Mr.. ChappIe
was introduced by A. H. Zimmerman.
president.
Mr.. Chapple held his audience for
an hour and a half with a delightful
address on Word Flashlights" and
when he had finished all feltthat he was
hard to excel as an after dinner speak
er. He has perhaps, more personal
knowledge of the prominent men of
our country than any other man and
his experiences with such men as
Theodore Roosevelt, VIM. Mckinley
Mark Hanna, Woodrow Wilson, w. J.
Bryan, Robert Lincoln, j. H. Choate
and numerous others, were intensely
interesting. He made many trips
abroad, several at the instigation of
eX-PreSident Roosevelt, and one es-
pecially to be present at the corona
tion services of King Edward How
he got there" and passed the ever
present Tommy Atkins" and finally
to witness the coronation, kept his
audience in good humor. At another
time he went to Europe to interview
the King of England, President of
France and the Kaiser, all in three
weeks, which he accomplished, though
under difficulties, especially as to the
Kaiser. How he finally managed to
get an interview, and his description
Of the Emperor, was an excellent fea-
ture of his address. The speaker paid
high tribute to Rotary and told what
it stood for.
At the close Mr.. Chapple gave his
audience a chance to propose names of
well known ladies or gentlemen on
whom he gave a few moments talk,
and this was fully as interesting as
any part of his address.
At the table with him sat some of
Mr.. Chapple's old friends, among them
Neal Brown and B. F. Mcmillan.
The address was among the best of
the many given here before the Rotary
club, and that organization is to be
congratulated on the high class enter
tainments which it has been giving
its members and their invited friends.
At the close Mr.. Chapple was given
a rising vote of thanks.
Mr.. Chapple spoke at the high school
in the afternoon and was accompanied
to the school by a number of Rotar-
ianS.

START YOUNG PEOPLE
IN POULTRY BUSINESS

Here is an idea that may be worth
trying in your community.
Taylor county grocers are cOoperat-
ing with their agricultural represen-
tative in starting some of their young
people in the poultry business.
The grocers are each donating one
setting of Rhode Island red eggs to
some boy or girl who promises to
handle the Matching properly, to take
good care of the stock produced, and
to return a setting of eggs next spring.
In this way they plan to establish
an endless chain of better poultry. If
the plan works it should result in in
creasing the number of improved
fiocks in the county. The men back
of the movement feel certain that it
will mean more and better poultry,
more and better eggs, and primarily
better young people.

WHY NOT START THAT WEED
FIGHT EARLY?

Let's start fighting annual weeds
this month, and keep to it!
Because it gets results many Wis
consin farmers have adopted this pro-
gram.
On fall plowed fields the disc har-
row is used frequently before and af-
ter planting. One good dragging won't
do. 1t may kill the first crop of pink
and green weedlets, but other seeds
brought. near the surface by the opera
ton will soon sprout. A second disk
ing within a weeks time is the best
policy.
An early start and persistent cul-
tivation means cleaner fields and big
ger crops.
