Meantime in France and Flanders
the enemy forces are being given no

France the British, French and Amerl-

DEPARTED FOR FRANCE

c. Christianson departed Friday for
Chicago and Racine. In the latter
city he visited his mother for day
and then was off to New York City,
where he was called to report on
June 3d. Mr.. Christianson has en-
listed in the army Y. M. G. A. work
and will go to France. He has been
in charge of the Rothschild pavilion
for the past two seasons, giving eX-
cellent satisfaction. He had made all
arrangements to have a lively season
at the park, by building new bath
houses, ETC., so that 800 bathers could
be accommodated at one time and had
purchased bathing suits to rent out.
He has left this work in the hands of
his wife and son, who hope to be
able to conduct affairs so that they
will have good patronage. There
is to be dancing every Wednesday
evening, throughout the summer. New
trees and shrubbery have been planted
making it one of the finest resorts in
the north. Mr.. Christianson felt that
he was able to help his country in
Y. M. G. A. work, so answered the
call for volunteers. He was in the
SpaniSh-American war, and has had
large experience. When the war is
over he will return to Wausau and
continue in his work. 1t is the duty
of those seeking recreation to do
what they can to keep up his busi-
ness, while he is away to the front.

ELROY McFAUL AWARDED
FIRST PLACE

On Friday evening the state oratori-
cal contest was held in this city under
the auspices of the State High School
Lyceum, and there were nine speak
ers on the program. Wausau ability
was highly cOmplimented, by having
Elroy McFaul, a local boy, win first
place in the contest, and won the
state championship. The speakers
and their subjects, also the districts
they represented, were given in our
last publication.
The subject of Mr.. McFaul's Grafton
was, "The Meaning of Americas En-
trance in.o the War" 1t is needless for
the Pilot to tell of this young man S
ability as speaker and reader, for
his talent is known to all in this city.
He was easily the winner of first
place.
Carel Heft of Racine, who repre-
sented the Milwaukee district, won
second place. His grafton was, "The
Vision of War" Philip Litman repre-
senting the Superior district, gave
German Atrocities" and received
third place in the contest.
Professor f. Wesley Orr, and DR..
Charles Reitell of Lawrence college,
and l.. S. Schmidt of Ripon college
were the judges for the contest.
Judge A. H. Reid presided at the
meeting, and previous to the giving
of the Orations, the High school or
chestra furnished musical numbers.
Vocal selections were also rendered
by Emery James.

HIGH WATER
Wisconsin River High in Places and
South OF WauSau, Above Flood
Stage-Water Falling

Northern Wisconsin has had it's full
Of rain for the past two weeks and is
now ready for a spell of sunshine.
For nearly week the clouds hung
heavy and dark over the skies and
not once did the sun show it's face and
every little while the flood gates were
opened and rain came down like a
cloud-burst.
1t raised the Wisconsin river way
over its banks, but there was no dam
age at Wausau and further north. The
river at Wausau reached within a
few feet of the danger line and there
was sigh of relief when it commenced
to recede. The damage in the country
to crops, especially in low lands, has
been considerable, but on the whole,
the ground has received a good soak
ing. In the early spring, on account
of the dry weather, our farmers were
complaining of their wells running
dry and not enough rain for GROWN g
crops. This has all happily been over
come, and now there is no lack of
water anywhere and there will be
none during the balance of the season
Up north, the lakes and reservoirs
have been filled up so there is good
prospects of there being a steady flow
for power purposes. The Marathon
Paper mills were compelled to close
down for a few days on account of
back water.
Below Wausau conditions were diff
ferent. Big and Little Rib, Eau Claire
and Eau Pleine streams, were unusu.
ally high, and this added to the volume
in the Wisconsin. At Knowlton and
Dancy the river was four feet above
flood stage, overfiowing the whole
country in that neighborhood and
much damage was done to crops, and
roads between here and Stevens Point
were washed out and badly cut up.
At Stevens Point the river was nearly
IA feet above the ordinary stage and
the Weik saw mill and the Jackson
Milling company found it necessary to
close. The needle gates of the local
dam were taken out. At the new dam
site of the Jackson Milling company
the water broke through the Golfer
dam and filled the channel, which was
being deepened, in about ten minutes.
The space was 600 feet long, 225 feet
wide and "a feet deep. The greatest
loss will be in the delay of work.
At Grand Rapids, also, the river
reached a great height, but little dam
age resulted.
The river here has fallen about one
foot and is still going down.
