CONSULTING ENGINEERS

The popular firm of consulting en-
gineers, Vaughn & Meyer, with Of
fees now in Milwaukee, Minneapolis
and st. Paul, have just established an
Office in this city at the Hotel Bells,
for the purpose of serving not only
the large concerns by whom they are
already retained, but also, to fill the
great demand for engineering services
prevalent in this progressive terri
tory
Mr. Vaughn and their Milwaukee
general manager, Philip Grossman,
spent considerable time in Wau-
sau completing arrangements and es-
tabIishing Loren L. Hebbard, who
will act as the local manager, in these
new quarters.
Mr.. Hebbard, who was taken from
the Milwaukee Office, has proven to
be one of the abIest mechanical en-
Fgineers in the profession. Lately, he
has spent most of his time in CON

cOmpanys new construction; the
Wisconsin Valley Electric company;
Swarthout & Speer, architects, and
the Wausau Sulphate & Fibre COM
pany.
| Their recent new contracts and pros
pective clients will make it necessary
for Mr.. Grossman to devote much OF
his time to this office, and call upon
other engineers of the organization tc
render their expert assistance.
The magnitude of the firm OF
Vaughn & Meyer. who have been in
the consulting engineering field for
several years, is shown by their steady
expansion. Their ability to serve the
public and Industrial corporations

A BRIGHT IDEA

Down on the lower Fox River there
is a shack in which lives one Andy
Haskins a fisherman, who has risen
to fame on account of the large
catches he has made, whenever it was
convenient for him to go out with his
rod and line. His big record book
with dates and weights testified to his
superior skill as an angler Recently
a baby was born in luxurious lodge
near the Haskins shack, and there
were no scales with which to weigh
it, so HasHins' scale on which he
weighed his fish, was procured, and
the baby tipped it at 80 pounds. Just
such scales are needed to work up
an interest in our northern lakes.

Notes From Osman.

Mrs. Daniel Peppard died Tuesday
morning and the news of her death
cast a gloom over the entire commun'
ity. She gave birth to son Monday
and during the day her condition be-
came alarming and the efforts of physi'
clans TO save her life we're futile. Her
mother, Mrs. Martin Shanahan, died
only little over week ago.
The deceased was born and reared in
Liberty. Her maiden name was Alice
Shanahan. She was a young woman OF
affectionate disposition and pleasing
ways. Only two and half years ago
she was married TO Daniel Peppard
whom she leaves with an infant son,
besides her father, Martin Shanahan, a
sister, Mrs. William Hoban OF Meeme,
and five brothers, James Shanahan Of
Liberty, Daniel and Emmett of Milwau
kee, Martin of Chicago and Edward of
New Jersey.
Much has been taken from this hus-
band and little son, from this lonely
sister, from the father and brothers
and a large circle of relatives and
friends; sweet ties have been severed,
but much is left. The Christians hope
and fadeless memories are still theirs
The funeral will be held Friday
morning from ST. Isidore's church.
Internment in the adjoining cemetery.

BASE BALL.

The ball season opens next Sunday.
A team labelled Mantowoc will play
at Milwaukee against the Kosciuskos.
There is schedule of Il games for
Sundays and holidays. The season
closes September l6.
The city ought to be ripe for base
ball, despite war conditions, II team
could be gathered that had few home
boys, could win reasonable share of
the games and play at home once in a
while. A team composed of men pick
ed up around Milwaukee every Satur-
day to play at Milwaukee on Sunday
under our name some OF whom appear
here or 5 times during the season
will not excite much interest or sup
port when they do come here. The
fact that 1t pays better to play to larger
crowds at Milwaukee doubtless makes
1t good business to play there but 1t
doesn't help the national game here.
