ENLARGE CAPACITY
NATIONAL FORESTS

Approved grazing allowances for
national forests during the coming
season provide for the pasturing of
s ,40O,155 sheep, 2,120,145 cattle and
horses and $3.50 swine. These fig
ures. compared with those of last
year, represent an approximate in
crease of III, 900 cattle and horses
and a decrease of about 100000 sheep.
Grazing experts of the Forest Service
figure that for purposes of range a.
lotment one COW is equal to five sheep.
Consequently the increase of 111,000
cattle and horses is held to be equiv
alent to a net increase of $4,000
sheep, or of 1000 cattle, over the
total number of stock gTazed last
year.
The decrease in the number of
sheep is said To be caused by the &C
ton of owners who are disposing OF
their hocks in order to buy cattle. In
most cases the reason is not because
of greater profits in handling cattle.
but because the rapidly changing
conditions on the open ranges, where
sheep have been handled in the past,
make it increasingly difficult to find
feed for this class of stock during
the months when deep sno prohibits
grazing on the national forests.
1t is stated that the capacity of the
national forest range is gradually be-
ing increased by protection against
overgrazing and improved methods o.
handling the stock. New areas are
also being brought into use by the
development of watering places, while
the eradication of poisonous plants is
reducing losses suffered by stockmen.

BABY WEEK CAMPAIGN

Wausau will celebrate Baby Week
during the month of June this year
but not in such an elaborate way as
last year. A course of lectures and
mothers conferences will be held in
neighborhood meetings TO be conduct
ed throughout the city. The Baby
Week campaign this year will be
more along the idea of follow-up work,
as the demonstration given last year
gave everyone an excellent opportu-
nifty of knowing what the work is
like. The committee in charge of the
work here think il unnecessary TO
bring children together publicly again
this year as last, for the reason that
the demonstration was so well given
last year, and it may also result in
the spreading of disease. There are
several cases of contagious diseases
in the city now and infantile paraly-
sis is also disease feared, there be-
ing a terrible epidemic last year
throughout the country. Children viii
be examined as last year if so desired
but not at public gathering. It is
planned to have a trained nurse or
physician visit the mothers of small
children during the month OF June
who will give instructions as to the
care and health of babies.

APRIL SNOW STORM

Last Wednesday morning, those who
looked out of their windows at about
five o'clock, witnessed a snow storm,
seldom equalled in the north 1t was
fierce There was no wind, and the
snow came down so rapidly, and in such
large flakes, that one could not see
ten feet ahead of him. During the
early morning hours about ten inches
of snow fell. More or less snow fell
all Wednesday forenoon. 1t was
slush, slush, slush, all day Wednesday
and Thursday, and finally disappeared.
Knowing ones say that such storm is
the poor mans fertilizer and it will
greatly advance the growth of every
thing. Let us hope so. One new
conner. on being asked, by another the
question, ''Fow many months of wir-
ter do you have in this country. re-
piled, 81 don't know as l have only
lived here eleven months and the end
| isn't yet"
But what do you think of this from
the Merrill Herald, which must be
| true, coming from the source it does
"The heavy snow storm of today
brings to the mind of Rev. j. G
| Schliepsieck the fact that twenty-fouI
years ago today, snow storm of such
great depth visited the state of Iowa
his former home, that it was necessary
to dig tunnel in order TO get the cat
tie out of the barns"

MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

There was meeting of the Agri-

The purpose of the Bureau is to
further good grains and stock, and to
assist in disposing of the same, and
to assist, generally, in the develop
ment of Marathon county.
There were many of the citizens of
the city and county present, and it
was voted that the presidents of the
various stock and grain societies of
the county be ex-officio members of the
board of directors, unless such soci-
ETY. or societies choose to elect such a
representative. Arrangements were
made for bylaws to be presented at
the next meeting. There will be an
attempt made to make this a very
large organization and it is hoped
that its membership will reach 5000
With so large number of the best
men of our county, splendid results
may be looked for.

MISSED THE Il ~


Father A. B. c. Dunno, O. ARE
one of the ablest speakers o.-cs&f state
was to have spoken before the Rotary
club in this city, on American Citi-
zenship," last Thursday evening, al
its regular monthly meeting, but he
missed the train in some way and dis
appointed many who had gathered to
hear him.
! Father J. B. Hauck, of st. Mary's
! Catholic church had invited the club
to hold it's dinner in the new school
building of his Congregation. about
sixty Rotarians gathered and sat down
! to a most excellent dinner served and
! prepared by the ladies of the church.
| At the close President Everest read
the dispatch from Father Dunno, and
also several communications; one of
especial interest, from Company G,
Wis. n. G., at Ashland.
The president stated that he had
asked several Rotarians to make short
talks along the lines of Father Dunnes
topic, and called upon Judge A. H.
Reid, A. l.. KreutZer, S. B. TObey and
Father Hauck, all of whom made stir
ring patriotic addresses.
The Columbia orchestra rendered
patriotic music during the dinner hour
and songs dear to the hearts of every
American were sung.
D. C. Everest and c. H. Hooker were
chosen to attend the International
convention, to be held in Atlanta in
June.
vote of thanks was extended to
Father Hauck for the invitation to
- -, 9,,,fI IF ha
church and to the ladies for the ex
cellent. dinner provided.
Many of the ROtarians had never
been in the new parochial school build
ing and it was a revelation to them.
They found, to their surprise, one
of the finest school buildings in the
city; very complete in all its arrange
ments and much larger than was eX
pected. It's substantial appearance ap-
pealed to all, being constructed of
solid brick and concrete. The rich
ness of it's interior finishing; its cleo
trio lighting. heating and ventilating
systems being of the most approved
and up to date in existence. It's var
iOus class rooms, auditorium, club,
dining and other rooms, corridors, etc,
are large and extremely we'll lighted
and complete in their appointments.
The auditorium is 42XS0 feet. has a
handsome stage with appropriate seen
cry and will comfortably seat 500 peo-
pie.
The dining room in which dinner
was served to the Rotarians is the
same size as the auditorium and will
also seat 500 people
1t is building which is a valuable
addition to our city and one of which,,
not only ST. Mary's congregation, but
the city at large, may justly feel proud.

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
WAUSAU PILOT THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO

I getting daylight. Bruin weighed 25C
pounds
Last Tuesday evening just as the
moon was creeping over the tree tops
the rub-a-dub-dub of the drum was
heard and the Wausau Light Guards
and Germania Guards appeared on
Third street on dress parade. Going
| through the different evolutionS by
moonlight was a spectacle that was
grand to behold. The companies do
themselves great credit at every pub
lie appearance.
Mrs. A. Brown of Antigo jumped
| into the Wisconsin up near Leahy &
Beebee's mill on Thursday with suicid-
al intent. She was rescued by the
mill crew. She was taken to her
boarding place by Andrew Berry. Her
husband had been arrested for burg
larry and was rescued and released by
the efforts of his wife, He went on
a spree as soon as released and this
discouraged his wife so that she tried
to end her life.
We have heard men advance the
iGea that an ordinary pedestrian can
run away from a bear in the woods
ii his bruinship should take it into his
cocoanut to play the part of pursuer.
Now we have not been in the habit
OF meeting many bears in the woods,
but it is our editorial opinion if we
wanted to run ten mile race with
quadruped like that killed by Billy
Merklein yesterday morning, we would
very gentlemanly request said quad
ruped to give us at least nine miles
the start
At meeting Tuesday evening at
the court house to consider the ques-
ton of water works for Wausau, D. L.
Plumer, presided and C. V. Bardeen
was secretary. The speakers were: c. |

G. P. Haseltine, d. L. Plumer, S, H, |
Alban, Alex Craven, and r. p. Pratt |
All voted for water works and that |
the city put in the plant. Mr. Hurley |
moved that the city council take steps |
at once to ascertain the cost of good |
system and it was carried.
