A MUCH NEEDED IMPROVE.
MENT

One of the streets which is trav-
eled fully as much as any in the city
and which has been greatly neglected
is north Sixth street. Most of the
time it is full of ruts and deep holes
and at other times so muddy that it
will about stall an automobile. Ever
since the railroad was built there has
been promises 20 run it up to Jim
Moore creek and later, as there was
nc Gisve to do this, the people have
pleaded with the powers of the COM
pany that if they would only run it
to the hospital it would be a great
relief to the many who had to go
there. The company kept on promis-
ing, but the track has not been ex-
tended and probably will not be until
the city will allow the company to
lay the same without doing any paw
ing. AS it is, the only thing to do
is to make the street passable and
the Chamber of Commerce is-about to
gravel the street from the macadam
to the street which runs to the hos
pital. II the Chamber Of Commerce
will make this street passable and put
1t in condition to last, il will put itself
under lasting obligations to the pub
lie. And, especially, if it can induce
the Wisconsin Valley Electric COM
pany to extend its lines 10 the hos
pital street, and there is no reason
why the Chamber of Commerce should
not interest itself in this good cause.

SILVER BLACK FOX RANCH
TO OPEN SOON

The stockholders of the Silver Black
Fox Ranch recently organized held a
meeting at the Village hall Saturday
night and completed the organization.
The following officers were elected:
Board of Directors: Edward Fromm
of Hamburg, DR.. w. o. Daniels of Mos
inee, o. w. Mccarthy, Paul Rajek,
Marathon and Roman M. Deutsch of
Wausau; Edward Fromm was chosen
president, w. N Daniels, vice-presi-
dent, and o. w. Mccarthy, secretary
and treasurer.
Mr. Henry Kruger of Hamburg,
who has acquired considerable exper-
ience in the business at Fromm Broth
ers' fox ranch at Hamburg, has been
engaged as manager. Work is now
pushed on rapidly to get everything
ready by October Is, when sixteen
pair of foxes will be brought to their
new home, the old Burk farm in the
town of Marathon IN the Mosinee road.
To wear a fur of one of these sly
Rewards is indeed a luxury which
only rich people can afford, as is seen
by the fact that these sixteen pair
were purchased by this new company
for the sum of $4,000. The stock
holders OF the company are very en-
thusiastic and optimistic about the
prospects Of doing very prosperous
business in this new undertaking g,
which no doubt will prove TO add con-
siderable to the financial assets OF
Marathon. The new fox ranch is now
being provided with a good substan-
tial wire fence, so that the farmers OF
the adjacent neighborhood need not
fear for their chickens. By the way
we all know that when it comes To
being sly and shrewd. Brother Foz

THE EBEETHOvEN TRIO
PRESENTED BY THE TUES.
DAY MUSICAL CLUB ON
WEDNESDAY EVENING

On Wednesday evening at the city
hall at 8 p. m, the Tuesday Musical
club will present, 'sThe Beethoven
Trio" NJ. Jeanette Loudon, pianist; !;
Ralph Michaeiis, piolinist and Theo-
dore DuMoulin, violin-cellist This is
the first of series Of eight concerts.
The Chicago-H Herald Examiner says of
the trio: 'They played Beethoven with
fine respect for the balance of parts
and deft and finished phrasing. In
|teresting variations of Rachmaninoff
struck the modern note acutely and
constituted the vehicle for playing of
considerable brilliance. The artists
scored real success"
Herman Deyries, In the Chicago
American says: "The Beethoven Trio
have the best right in the world to
their name If they took the title be-
cause of their ideals, these were ad-
mirably reflected in their playing last
night in Kimball Hail. The name is,
in fact, an ideal name too easy to live
up to, and throws down a gauntlet to
criticism"
A season ticket for the eight con-
certs is $500; for students, $3.50 and
single admission. $500.

TRAIL BLAZERS IN ARMY
TRUCKS
Unit of All American Pathfinders Map.
ping Out Aerial Route, Enroute
to the Western Coast

Thirty-one trucks forming part OF
the all-American pathfinder and re-
cruiting unit that the war department
is sending from New York to the Pa
cific coast, passed through Stevens
Point Saturday evening shortly before
o'clock. A camoufieged car inciud-
ed in the unit followed Sunday under
command of Capt. j. d. Jones. The
men came from Milwaukee and camped
at Appleton Friday night. The aer-
ial section followed another route, go
ing from Milwaukee to st. Paul with
stops at Madison, Lacrosse and Win
ona.
The entire unit has "a trucks, eight
aeroplanes, seven balloons and a g.
000, ,000, 900 candlepower electric search
light. Three trucks and the other
equipment mentioned comprise the
aerial equipment. Eighty-five men
and 22 officers are included in the en-
tire unit, with Major o. N. Baldinger
of the air service in command.
The unit left New York August IA
and expects to reach Seattle December
10. Then it goes down the coast to
San Francisco and San Diego, Calf,
going into winter quarters for eight
weeks at the latter place. The return
trip begins next spring and will be
via the Lincoln highway. The entire
jaunt will require about a year, and
cover about 5000 miles.
The purpose of the tour is to stim-
ulate recruiting, map out aerial mail
routes, report on the condition of roads
and collect general military informa-
tion. More than 200 recruits have
already been obtained since the unit
left New York. In the course of it's
journey, the aerial section makes sug-
gestions to cities for municipal aerial
landing places and also maps out en-
ergency landing fields.
Among the balloons with the aerial
party is one that was used As days in
owe seas service. 1t is 80 feet long
and q feet inches in diameter and
has a capacity of 35,200 cubic feet
The searchlight is the strongest in
the world and on clear nights the
beam when directed straight up, can
be seen 110 miles by aeroplanes. 1t
was designed by the army engineering
corps and is under the charge of Lieut.

The men have kitchen truck and
prepare their own meals and also
carry cots and blankets. The men
comprising the unit which passed
through Stevens Point camped near
Milwaukee Thursday night and ate
their dinner on Friday at Fond du
Lac. They plan to cover 100 miles a
day. Shortly after starting for Apple
ton one of their cars got beyond con-
troll of the driver and ran into the
ditch, fracturing the leg of one SOL

The United States Public Health

at once for handling another cpl

out warning TO the public not to
be lulled into a sense of false secur-
ity nor to become unduly alarmed. The
epidemic of last winter has shown to
have been more severe in mortality
than the three year epidemic of 1889
80. This justifies the hope that the
disease has run its course already.

harder attacks need some one to care

the care of the graduated nurse.
Without preparation the disease will
