STEVENS POINT WILL HAVE FINE
DEPOT AND DEPOT GROUNDS

The 500 depot at Stevens Point,
which burned a short time ago, is to
be supplanted by new one of vastly
better proportions and up-to-date in
every respect and will be surrounded
by a handsome park, which is due to
Stevens Points wide awake mayor,
DR.. F. O. Walters. At first it was the
intention of the 500 road to build
suitable depot on the old grounds, but
with the matter properly set before
the people by hive wires, several
blocks of land will be'purchased and
added to the present depot grounds,
all through the cooperation OF the
people with the mayor and city coun-
ell and this showing of public spirit,
has spurred on the officials OF the
road to give the city depot of which
it may well be proud. 1t was argued
that the first impressions. of a city
were by far the best, and rightly, too.
The following petition, which recited
reasons for the park, was generally
signed:
"That our depot and its surround
ings are and will always continue TO
be the front door of the city and
should be made attractive in appear
ance.
THAT the travel through our city
TO the great northwest is increasing
and will continue to increase, and in
creasing numbers of persons look
ing for new homes and business To-
cations will go through our city.
"That one or more of the new trunk
line highways to be built will pass
through this section of the city anc
first impressions of the city to tray'
elers thereon will be created b. the
depot and its surroundings.
{. THAT the proposed acquisition ant
Improvement of this property will In
crease real estate values in the cit!
generally to an extent in excess o
the cost of the property"
The new round house which vii
be erected will have room enough fol
20 engines.
The Pilot was, and is still or tn
opinion, that if the people Of Stevens
Point will give Mayor Walters hal
a chance he will do great things.

SMALLPOX

Wausau has a case of smallpox and
may have others as there has been
some exposure which-was unavoidable.
A man by the name of Robert Eisner,
of Rib Falls, who had been at the
American hotel, was ill and went to
the office of DR.. Thielke for treatment.
1t was pronounced case of small
poX. Owing to the, fact that there was
no available place to isolate the pa
tient and being without means, he was
sent to the county hospital. He was
placed in the isolation ward in charge
of nurse, but it was done under pro-
test, as the place for him was the pest
house. DR.. Thielke stated that the
pest house was not vacant and was not
fit for patients even if it was. The
man is being taken care of at the hos
pital, but what would have been the
result if there had been no vacant
rooms at the hospital? Some sort of
an isolation hospital should be pro-
vided at once for the city's use. 1t
would not be surprising at all if other
cases followed, but prompt measures
have been taken to have the places
fumigated where the man was known
to have entered. Wausau is just as
liable as other cities to have contagious
diseases and an isolation hospital
should be provided.

CAVALRY TROOP
FORMED AT MERRILL

Last Friday was a history making
epoch in Merrill. 1t was the occasion
of the organization of cavalry troop
of 100 men.
A banquet was given at the Grand
opera house in the evening at which
IT'S were present. The ladies of Scott
Memorial church furnished and served
an excellent dinner for the members of
the troop present and the assembled
citizens and guests. The troop is the
first one organized under the new law.
A program followed, at which A. H.
Smith presided as POSTMASTER, who,
after giving brief resume of the work
of organization, introduced General
King, who made the principal address
of the evening. A synopsis as follows
is taken from the Merrill Herald, viz:
"The speaker held his audience for
an hour, telling them in no uncertain
language that this country, if it is
to be saved for our children and our
children's children, that we MUST
PREPARE and that he felt that Mer-
'rill should be doubly proud of her
sons who had so soon answered their
country's cali, ready, if need be- to
shed their blood in defense of her
honor. The general put the vigor and
vim into his talk that easily denies
the seventy-three years that he con-
feSseS to. His speech was a revelation
to many who have been secure in the
faith that a citizen soldiery is an ade-
quate defense for this country. He re-
ferred to the remark of the Iron
Chancellor" of Germany, Prince Bis
marck, God protects the poor and the
United States" That statement he
repeated with all due reverence, for it
was and is true. We pride ourselves
on our isolation when as a matter of
fact the oceans, instead of being a
protection, are rather a path to our
shores, over which any belligerent ma
tion might easily send an army of
million trained men in a months
time and force us in less time than
we could mobilize half that number
to pay them ransom of ten billions
or more. Not a pleasant prospect,
and yet possible. Thinking men and
women are afraid, for, as has been
said, if the present war keeps on
another year, the United States will
have all the gold in the world and
Europe all the guns, and some Of
those guns might come back for that
gold Outside of France, the United
States has, because of its policy, al
lienated the friendship of practically
every European nation of any conse-
quence with the possible exception of
France. Likewise, we have told that
proud and growing nation, ''the Eng
land of the Pacific" that her people
cannot enjoy the privileges we readily
grant to nearly every other nation un-
der the sun. We have made enemies;
let us not forget that we MUST PRE-
PARE. The speaker closed with few
words of advice to the troopers and
was accorded long round of applause
much of which had punctuated his
talk"
Other talks were made by Major |
Mccoy of Sparta, and prominent citi-
zens of Merrill. 1t was expected that |
Adjutant Gen. Orlando Holway would |
be present, but he was unable to at
tend.

but here the policeman prevailed and
was dragged from the room.
At this point the great philosopher,
statesman, diplomat and patriot, who
has seen fit to honor our city by MAX
ing it his home, wiped the perspira-
ton from his brow and with a new
light of resolve in his masterful eye
said:
"Why inf1ict these narrowing details
upon the public? Merely that they
may know the kind of men in charge of
our state affairs, that they may remedy
the evil at the next election. l cannot
promise at this time that I will be
their standard bearer, but will as
sist.
"My services may be of greater
value to the nation as whole. Again
1 will volunteer my services to the ad-
ministration at Washington Modesty
will not deter me. Have you ever
noticed that the greatest defect in the
American plan of government is the
lack of any provision whereby the
best men of the country can be called
to the front when their services are
needed? To remedy this defect I now
and here offer my services, and shatter
it's hide-bound rules and traditions"
"The time for diplomacy has
passed Lansing is probably good
enough for that position now. Our
real weakness is in the navy. The
head of that department is so motor
iously unfit for the job that his name
is byword throughout the country.
In offering to take this position at this
critical time l feel that my experience
and ability would constitute a pillar of
security upon which the country could
rest satisfied, for Isassure you that my
superior qualifications are recognized
throughout the civilized world, that
my energy, enthusiasm and patriotism
would alone be worth navy of mil
lion men, while my vigor and dash, my
knowledge of statecraft, would COM
.municate themselves to all depart
ments with which l came in contact,
heal all breaches, inspire confidence
and lead this country to that point
of eminence where it might confident
| ly challenge the whole world"
Editors Note-The unselfish patriot
| ism that inspires this great patriot and
statesman to put aside for the time
| being all his own ambitions and de-
| sires and lay upon the altar of mis-
| country his wonderful abilities, should
be an inspiration to every American
/ citizen and make him resolve to 'do
his Bit for his country. We might
| add that in addition to his many other
qualifications, Col. H. o. Tair is especially
qualified to be the head of the navy
y department, for he is an experienced
navigator, having. twice travelled the
whole length of the. Erie canal, and

mand of freighter which sailed from

Potato Crop Advised to
Precede Alfalfa.

For sections where early pota-
toes succeed, the Ohio Experl-
ment Station recommends this
crop as one of the best to precede
alfalfa, since the land is usually
we'll fertilized and manured, and
frequent cultivation kills nearly
all weeds before alfalfa is seed
ed. The potatoes can be harves-
ted for late July and early Au.
gust alfalfa seedlings, and a good
seed bed can be prepared merely
by disking and narrowing.
Field peas have also been found
satisfactory when cut for hay as
a preparatory crop for alfalfa.
Such midsummer seedlings of al
falfa have been found by the Ex-
pertinent Station more satisfact-
ory than spring seedlings in oats
or barley. Most alfalfa failures
are attributed to competition with
weeds and to nurse crops that
provide excessive'shade and leave
too little moisture and plant food
for the young alfalfa.

should be thoroughly disked as

rowed until seeding time at in
tervals sufficiently frequent to
keep down'the weeds and to make
