HALL, KELLOGG & co.

A new timber land firm has been
organized in this country, to be known
as Hail., Kellogg & Co., with head
quarters in Chicago, in the Otis build
| ing. The principal purpose of the
new firm is ito buy, sell, hold and
! deal in land, timber and forest pro-
| ducts; to negotiate and carry out
| land and timber exchanges between
| individuals. firms and corporations, or
| between any of these and the Federal
| or State Governments, or between the
Federal and State Governments; to
make forest surveys and land CLASH
fications, and to develop and consum-
/ ate opportunities for investment in
| land and timber"
Both r. S. Kellogg and William l..
| Hall have a nation wide reputation in
lumber circles.
R. S. Kellogg made Wausau his
| home for several years. He COM
| menced his forest service in 1901 and
continuing until 1910, and during that
| time covered many important assign
ments, covering all parts of the United
| States and Alaska. In 1910 Mr.. Kel-
| logg became secretary of the Northern
| HemlOck and Hardwood association
and in that he became known as one
| OF the most successful and progress
sive secretaries of the county and in
1919 was selected for the important
position OF secretary of the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
and during his connection with the
| national association it has made rapid
advancement towards the important
position which it now holds with re-
spect to the lumber interests of the
country and the country's timber
In February, 1918, Mr.. Kellogg re-
signed from the National association
to become secretary-treasurer of the
News Print Service Bureau with of
fees in New York, in which position
he continues. In this capacity he has
| already exercised very large infiu-
ence among the newsprint producers
| of the country, both towards better or
ganized plans for associated efforts
| and towards conserving the import
ant resources with which the paper
industry deals. Mr. kellogg has
proved himself to be one of the strong
men of the country, regardless of
whether his activities be considered
from the viewpoint of the lumbermen
or the forester. His influence has
been remarkably strong in putting up
on good basis the production of all
classes of forest products. On the
other hand, he is equally well known
for his services towards putting into
effect practical measures of forestry
and the shaping up of plans and pol
icies looking to the conservation of
timber supplies.
Mr.. Kellogg's association with the
new firm is in the capacity of stock
holder and director, and it will have
no effect upon his present work as
Secretary of the News Print Service
Bureau in New York City.
Associated with the Company as
stockholders and directors are several
nationally known timberland owners
with extensive interests in the Ma
tional Forests. These connections in
dictate the responsible nature of the
work that will be handled by sthe
company.

BURNED TO DEATH

One little three year old girl dead,
and her three sisters badly burned,
is the toll of fire that wiped out
the farm home of Chris. Larson,
twelve miles from this city, Tuesday
evening. The children were in the
house alone, the mother being out in
the barn milking the cows, and the
father on his way home from town.
The mother and children give their
version as to the origin of the fire
that it started upstairs and the flames
spread so rapidly that the children
could not get out in time, but the
theory advanced by DR.. H. G. Hinck-
ley and G. n. Johnson, who were called
to the scene to administer to the vic
Tins of the tragedy, is that the fire
resulted from an explosion of kero-
sene.
Word came first to DR.. Hinckley at
the County Home, where he was pres
ent at the annual dinner to county
board members and citizens, and G.
N. Johnson, Superintendent of the
Home, and County nurse, Miss Theta
Mead accompanied him in his car.
They were met at 1.-The forks" by a
team, as the roads were well nigh i'm
passable for an auto, and difficult
enough with horses.
Upon arriving at the scene of the
fire they found the children had been
moved to the cabin of Fred Reeger,
the Larson's nearest neighbor, about a
quarter of mile away. Everything
possible was done to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the children at that time,
and the three REMAINING childron
aged fourteen, twelve and three years,
were taken to st. Mary's hospital at
Tomahawk yesterday. The Oldest girl
is the most seriously burned.
1t is heart rending tragedy, and
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. Larson
in their dark hour of sorrow and loss.
Merrill Star-Advocate.

CHILDREN'S INFIRMARY

Last week the Pilot mentioned the
fact that the building in which the
Children's Infirmary is located, at 1908
Fifth street, has been sold to the
Misses Jedamus and the Infirmary
has to vacate by the 1st of December
The institution should not be allowed
to cease operations just because of
this and our good citizens shbuld
interest themselves to the extent that
other quarters are found and this
should be done at once. The Infirmary
has proven great blessing to our
city, has been the means of giving
many afflicted children their health
and has been of incalculable worth
since it was organized. Provide suit
able quarters for it, 1t is one of the
good institutions of our city which
should be kept going.
