Rosengrants and Gorsuch, the big
Winona stock men, recently shipped
ten carloads of feeder cattle to Top
penish, Wash, where they will be fed
and finished for market. The ship
ment of the stock at this time was
made necessary on account Of the
shortage of feed. Two cars of fat cat
tie were shipped to market a few days
before the big shipment was made.
The firm has about 200 head of COWS
still on their farm.
Some of Mrs. o. D. Hamlin's lady
friends sprung birthday surprise on
her last Friday that was a success in
every sense of the word. During the
afternoon she was asked to go shopping
and toward evening returned with her
companion to the latter's home where
she was induced to take supper. Later
they both were asked to walk up the
street to another home and on APP
preaching the Hamlin home found the
house in darkness, but suddenly the
lights flashed on in every room and
the house was found to be crowded
with friends who had taken the home
completely in charge during the alb
sence of the mistress. Bountiful re-
freshments had been provided and the
evening was spent in a most jovial
manner by all present. Progressive
FIVE hundred was played at six tables,
the first prize being won by Miss Deer
kop and the consolation by Ira Rob
ertson. At a late hour the guests de-
parted after wishing Mrs. Hamlin at
least twice as many birthdays as she
has SO far enjoyed.

Asking Too Much

Let's see, Attorney General Owen
was reelected, only few months ago
to again fill the position which he now
holds. Not satisfied with that which
the people have generously given him,
he is again asking for their votes. This
tine he wants to be judge of the
Supreme court. This very thing of
discarding an office to which he has
been elected, at much expense to the
state, is sufficient TO show very plain
ly that he is not good supreme court
timber. He is up to oppose Judge
Marshall, who has been one of the best
Of judges and is certainly entitled to
reelection. But why should Atty
Gen. Owen, at this TIME feel that he
should be recognized over such an
able man as Judge Marshall? Per
haps because he is pulled up over his
success at the last election. He should
let wen enough alone.

Time to Cali a Halt

There is a limit even to the news
papers giving free publicity to every
thing that comes along. The more
one does in that line the less it is
appreciated and it has become so now
that such publicity is demanded and if
not forthcoming then a publisher is
not doing his duty to community
in which he is located. This is all
wrong. Why should the publisher not
receive compensation for his labors?
The Pilot has been guilty in the past
but it proposes to select only that
which is Pews in the future. We refer
more especially to circulars sent out
by the various branches of the state
university, anti-tuberculosis associa-
ton, the Wisconsin Advancement as
sociation, the Woman's Suffrage asso-
ISOLATION, the Anti-Saloon association,
and many other organizations in the
state. Why, they are so pompous now,
that they say. 1--WE 40 not charge for
this service" holding out the idea
that very soon they are going to make
a charge and that now they are do
ing a great favor to the publisher in
furnishing him a stereotyped article
which is sent'out to every paper in the
state. Such publicity can and should
be paid for. OF course, the officers of
these associations are making good,
and why shouldn't they, when they are
getting thousands of dollars of free
advertising from the papers of the
state, for which not one dollar is paid.

Marshfield-3 to O. Mr. Parmenter,
coach of the Marshfield team. acted as
chairman at the debate here.
Warner Bump and Elroy MacFaul
of the Wausau teams received
the honors in the debate. They
were graded by two judges on
each side, 50 and 81 All the Wausau
representatives showed up well and
did splendid work in the contest.
Miss Frances Irvine, principal OF the
Washington school, was unable to at
tend to her school duties yesterday
on account of illness Miss Gertrude
McGuine took her place.
Last week mention was made OF
the drawings recently sent to the
School Arts magazine contest at Bos-
ton, by Miss Wadleigh. The children
brought their pets to school and draw
ings were made of them.~ Among the
pets were ROSTERS, rabbits, ponies,
pigeons, puppies, Collie dogs, cats, etc.
These pets seemed to realize they
were the center of attraction and
rather liked being with the children.
They were quiet and gave the chill
dren time to get good sketches OF
them. In some of the buildings the
ponies were taken into the manual
training rooms, where they were drawn
off on paper Some pictures show the
ponies eating, while others were
drawn of them in other positions. One
of the roosters liked school very much
and'sat before the children with quite
an air of Importance for some time.
The children enjoyed making these
drawings and some who can not draw
very well, made the best drawings
for this exhibit The drawings looked
so much like the real animals that
one man happened to see some OF
them and recognized one pony i'm
mediately, telling who the pony be-
longed to. Wausau has been fortu-
nate in securing prizes in this con-
| test in the past, and it is hoped that
this city will receive honors again.

Did Great Work

The railroads have been having
hard time of it, in fact it is doubtful
whether the c., NJ. & ST. Paul and c.
& N. w. roads have ever experienced
such a blockade as they have been
going through since they were built
to Wausau. The officials have been
working day and night and every
crew on these roads have been doing
the same, trying to give their patrons
some End of service, and they are
entitled to a great deal of praise for
their untiring efforts in this respect.
If Wausau was the only city which
had suffered from the unprecedented
storms, those who are so severely con-
demning the service of these COM
panies would have some grounds on
which to find fault but this was not
the case. Every city in the north
has been cut off for days at time,
and trains have been making the best
time they could. Freights have been
stuck in drifts and no matter how
large or how many crews were at
work, it has been impossible to make
much Roadway. They have had to be
sidetracked in order to give the pas1
senger trains the right of way, and
the consequence is, sidetracks have
been filed and each car wedged in by
snow to the extent that it has taken
a small army of men to get them out
on their way again.
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul, Min
neapoIis and other large cities, with
every facility at hand, have not been
receiving any better service than Wau-
sau has.
When it is considered that there
have been snow drifts eighteen feet
high in some instances, on the road
between here and New Lisbon and be-
tween here and Appleton, and on the
branch between here and Marshfeld
and further, as soon as they were
gotten out of the way, the strong
wind prevailing would fill up the cuts
again, what was there to be done?
Under such conditions could more
be asked than what has been done by
the railroad companies?
The roads entering this city have
as good equipment, no doubt, as the
freight and passenger. traffic war
rants, and even if they had the best
in existence and every possible con
trivance for clearing tracks at theil
command, it is doubtful whether bet
ter service could be had than thai
which has been given us.
Let US be reasonable in such try.
ing times and instead of going out
after those who are doing the very
best they can, with club, our peo
pie should commend them for theiI
untiring efforts in giving such goot
service as they have during two of the
worst storms known in the. history
of this section supplemented by
many days of fierce winds with the
temperature below zero. Snow does
not pack when it is cold and shifts
about with every gust of wind.
With the exception of a few, nc
complaints have been heard and there
should not be any under this trying
ordeal.
