NEW SAW MILL

Amigo is forging ahead as the
largest lumber manufacturing city in
Wisconsin. The past year one of the
best saw mills in the north was built
there-that of the Langlade Lumber
company. Now it is to have another
large saw mill. The commercial club
of that city offered the Fish Lumber
company bonus of $4,000 if it would
place its mill there. The conditions
were accepted, and the company is to
erect $4,000 mill there. 1t will cut
out about 100000 feet a year and
have pay roll of about $4,000 an
nually. The mill will be ready to
operate next June. Amigo is certain
ly doing business and all must hand
the business men of that city the
palm for landing che goods. There
is one thing certain, nothing can be
done in securing such industries un-
less there is a determined effort
backed up by men of wealth in a
community as we'll as by the COM
munity in general.

"a STATE FAIR ON WHEELS"
TO TOUR SOUTH WISCONSIN

The unprecedented interest shown
in the Wisconsin Products Special
Train" operating over the lines of the
Chicago & North Western Ry., in Iowa
and Illinois, this being practically a
State Fair on Wheels" and demon
strating fully by illustrated lectures
the agricultural products which can
be grown in upper Wisconsin, has
prompted that railway company to ex-
tend the tour of the train for three
weeks to cover at least IS cities and
towns in Southern Wisconsin.
Accompanying the train are lee
turers from the faculty of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, the State Direc-
tor of immigration, and also indus
trial and dairying representatives of
the railway.
Illustrated addresses are given to
show what inducements the state has
to offer settlers and in two of the
cars are extensive crop and soil ex-
hibits.

ICY WALKS

Last Tuesday the days snow storm
ended in sleet and rain storm. A
freeze-up followed and the result is
the walks have been SO slippery that
our people have had to walk in the
streets which are cut up by the
horses and automobiles so as to make
it comparatively safe for pedestrians.
Many people have had serious falls.
One man slipped and fell the whole
length of the front steps at the gov
ernment building. Last winter was
the very worst winter ever known in
this locality. The whole country was
covered with thick coating of ice and
the sidewalks were practically dis
carded, only where salt, sand or ash
es was used. Most of our game birds
perished as a result of the conditions.
Another winter like the last one will
practically clean up the partridges
and other game birds.

A. S. COLLINS APPOINTED
Elevation to Succeed the Late HI. p
Myrick Comes as a Christmas
Surprise.

A. S. Collins, formerly editor on the
daily Record in this city, now
of Wild Rose, has been appointed by
the governor as editor of the state
printing board, to succeed the late
Harry P Myrick
Since the death of Mr. Myrick the
organization of the board has con-
tinued as then until the present pro-
motion of Mr.. Collins. The appoint
ment of successor to Mr.. Myrick.
restores the board to the status which
the legislature intended by giving it
a recognized head.
Mr.. Collins is one of the veteran
newspaper editors of the state, hav-
ing served in that profession more
than quarter of "a century, much of
the time on leading daily and weekly
publications in this state and Illinois.
When the state printing board was
organized under the law of 1915 he
was chosen as secretary. That was
in September, 1915, and he has con-
tinued in that capacity ever since.
The printing board as organized
under the new law has been in active
charge of state printing since Septem-
ber 1, 1915, and through it's efforts
many thousands of dollars have been
saved to the state departments and
the university. An average of about
$4,000 worth of printing passes
through its hands each month and
all bills for payment, including those
of the legislature, are audited and
approved by the board before going to
the secretary of state, who draws the
warrants on the state treasurer.
The board buys all the paper used
in state printing, stores it and issues
it to the state printers for each in
dividual job. During the two years
of the present printing contracts close
to 5000 orders for printing and bind
ing have been issued on the state
printers by the board

CIVILIZATION" AT THE GRAND
OPERA HOUSE

To produce the cannon booms in the
great Thomas Il. Ince spectacle CIV
ilization," which will be shown at
the Grand opera house, Jan. 3-4-5,
there has been constructed the largest
drum known in the country. This
is feet, 6 inches square, and, to Sc
cure the hide for this, an extraordi-
nary large animal was necessary. This
hide, which is over Is inch thick, is
stretched over a framework of solid
oak, and, to cause it to vibrate, a
heavy wooden sledge is necessary.
This is but one of the many re-
markable contrivances used to pro-
duce the sound effects that give a
lifelike setting to the great master
piece Civilization" AS one sees the
picture, he hears the cannons boom,
the bombs explode; he hears the rush
ing of the ocean waters on the sandy
beach and the monotone chug, chug,
of the submarine, when the interior
views are shown.
Then, the electrical snap of the
wireless telegraph instruments, the
blacksmith's hammer on the anvil; the
whir of the monoplanes as they fly
through the air, and everything that
has noise in real life is given the prop
er setting in this great production.
Something of the enormity of this
big spectacle may be conceived when
it is known that it required over year
in the making, employed over 10000
people. 10000 horses, 40 airships, one
dozen battleships, modern war ma
chimes of all descriptions, etc.

1t was very graceful act on the
part of the boys to go about the
other evening, a-serenading the fair
maidens of Wausau, and doubtless it
was so regarded by those ofthe favored
ones who were awake. 1t is whis-
pered that one young man, who is so
modest that he always says limbacy
instead of legacy, got a terrible scare
that night. He stood with downcast
eyes and blushing cheeks the while
the notes of delicious harmony fioated
in at the window of two sweet maids,
for his delicate nerves were all attn
gle with thoughts that persisted in
obtruding themselves upon him, of the
soft awakening in that dainty nest, of
two white-robed forms emerging from
its snowy depths and futtering like
white doves to that easement to which
he longed but dared not look. When
the music had ended, however, and all
were moving away, he ventured to
raise his eyes an instant and 10, a
vision of fair white drapery, of en-
broidery and filmy lace! and surely
that was the CLEAN of a rounded
shoulder and-he turned and fed in
an agony of delicious embarrassment
fled from the sight of what Will
Davenport, who understands these
things, says was nothing but the win
dow curtains.

RECITAL AT RP0N

Miss Mary Harger of this city, took
part in a recital at RipOn on Decem-
Der Goth. OF the event the Ripon Com
mOnwealth has the following to say:
The second concert on the artist
series of the School of Music of Ripon
college occurred last Wednesday even
ing when Miss Mary S. Harger, So
pranO, of Wausau, and Mr.. Anthony
J. Whitmire, yiOlinist, of Ann Arbor,
Michigan. appeared in joint recital.
This concert proved itself as en-
joyable and artistic as Nine. Georgia
Hall Quick's piano recital earlier in
the fall. The selection of these two
artists for the same program was a
happy one, each fulfilling every antici-
patton OF Ripon music lovers. Miss
Harger's voice is wonderfully true and
flexible. She sings with an ease and
grace that is rare. In the BELL
Song from Lakme. her artistic tenn
permanent reached its climax. Her
tone was exquisite and never lacked
variety. The Widening" of Strauss
was a much enjoyed number. as was
the TO a Messenger" by Frank La
Forge. In each song Miss Harger
sang there was true and artistic mu-
steamship displayed"

FOR FIVE YEARS

c. Eby of Rhinelander, has a pretty
good idea of the "open season" for
deer hunting. There is a wide differ
ence of opinion on this question but
Mr.. Ety's has some merits which
should be considered. He says: 1T
is my idea that if it were made un-
lawful to kill deer in this state for a
period of five years and a fifty dollar
bounty placed on wolves, the question
of deer preservation would be solved.
In five years, with no shooting, the
deer would multiply. Wolves are re-
sponsible for the destruction of many
deer say. make the bounty on these
pests big enough so men can afford to
make a business hunting them"
