A concern which owns a consider
able amount of wild lands in the town
of Knowlton recently had lines sur
veyed for a number of new roads in
that town. The roadways will be cut
out this winter, and the roads graded
next season, with the ultimate purpose
of inducing settlers to locate in that
section. At present there is more un-
improved land in Knowlton than any
where in Marathon county, though the
village itself is nearly as old as Wau-
sau. A few years ago, a number of
railroad men dubbed together, and
purchased tract of land northeast
of the village, with the intention of
it into a stock farm. Had
their plans eliminated in fulfilIment,
1t would have been quite an enterprise.
