STEVENS POINT MAY GET
NEW ARMORY

That Stevens Point residents may be
called upon soon to give proof of their
interest in the reorganized national
guard company in that city by raising
a fund to meet in part the expense
of an armory building for the city, is
the statement of the Stevens Point
Gazette in its issue of August 1S.
The article continues: "The armory
bill providing $4,000 as the maximum
amount which the state can appropri-
ate in year toward the construction
OF an armory in any city, has become
a state law, and local men who are
acquainted with the situation believe
that the city should make a strong
bid for a building at this time"
1t wouldn't be bad plan at all for
some of those who are enthusiastically
putting forward the proposal that
Wausau Immediately organize a new
National Guard unit also think over
the proposition OF an armory. The
armory at the present time in use in
this city, was in perfectly splendid
condition twenty years ago. more or
less. Now 1t is antiquated, and any
one who has ever drilled in il knows
that the barn" odor is just a little
disagreeable. There isn't much likli-
hood that an over-enthusiastic guard
company will be organized in Wausau
unless action similar to that which
the progressive business men in the
city mentioned above are taking, Is
pursued here.

Saturday morning, August 30. Thru
the summer months each Saturday
this special train has been run north
ward. The traffic to the northern

week ends when men join their fam
lilies for a day or so, has been ex-
ceptionally heavy this year. This
special returned to Chicago Sunday
evening, arriving there Monday morn
ing. Instead of returning on August
81, as would be the usual time, the
fish train will this week end remain
until Labor Day evening, Monday,

Gus. Nary day has passed that five,
ten, fifteen or twenty cars have been
seen passing through the city on their
way to one or another of the hun
dreds OF resorts sixty to ninety miles
north of Wausau. At each weekend
the Bells House has had dozens of
guests who remain a night at the
hotel, enroute to their lake destina-
tion. The Fairgrounds of the mid
die west" is outgrowing that name
in favor of more extensive one.
Road improvements will hasten de-
velopment of the lake region, and in
