Josephus Stephens, miner and pioneer
of the California gold rush period of

Montana, Utah. Nebraska and Cali
fornia on horseback in search OF gold
His life was filled with adventure

advice several men were started on

ers and investors.

In 1s4s, when the east turned its

gold, Mr.. Stephens was working on
the mississippi and Ohio rivers on
steamboats,. When the fever struck
the middle west he packed up his few
belongings and mounted a horse, set
ting out for the gold fields of Cali

Although bis advice was the making
OF men worth many millions today,

Famous personages of the last two
generations in the west were well
known to the miner. He met Mark

and. realizing the talent of the quaint
young writer, induced him to offer his
first articles for publication. Josh Bii-

time, also received his first encourage
ment to enter the field of literature
from the miner. Maud Adams was an

VOTE LIABLE TO BE CLOSE
From PittsvilIe Record

FROM PlttSVllle record
The vote on the new bridge propo-
sition before the people of Grand
Rapids may be a surprise to many of
that town and to people interested
outside of Grand Rapids. 1t natural
ly would be expected that the vote
would be heavy for the new bridge,
especially since Senator Witter inter-
ested himself enough in bridge mat
tiers to get law passed allowing cit
les the size of Grand Rapids to get in
on state and county appropriations.
According to influential men of the
county seat town the vote may be
close or a defeat entirely for the
measure. The site of the new bridge
is what sticks in the crops of Grand
Rapids people. Many claim that the
streets approaching the present
bridge site are altogether too narrow
for a bridge which will ultimately
have to carry the pedestrian traffic,
the wheel traffic and the street car
traffic These people would rather
see the new bridge strung across the
river just above where it is giving
Grand Rapids two crossings over the
Wisconsin river. The. result will be
watched with interest as there are
influential men working both ways.

MONSTER
PREPARATIONS

A small army of mechanics and
laborers are at work preparing the
mammoth structures for the 1919 In
ternational Live Stock Exposition. This
essential preliminary task, in order
that we may fifty celebrate the Twen-
tieth Anniversary event, is being con-
Quoted on more elaborate scale than
ever before, the management being de-
termined to insure the comfort of Wis
itors, exhibitors and their charges. The
spacious buildings and grounds are be-
ing artistically decorated.
owing to the wonderful growth of
the show and to properly house all
entries, several more buildings are IN
process of preparation. An effort is
being put forth to make the Interna
tional Grain and Hay Show, new de-
partment of the international Live
Stock Exposition, on the same high
level attained by this last mentioned
institution.
Since the Inauguration of the expo
sition, it has been the policy of the
management to spare no expense to in
sure perfection in every detail.
Owing to increased cost of material
and labor, these details might have
been neglected this year, but the direc-
tors decided that it would be doubtful
economy and the high standard of pre-
vious years will be maintained if not
excelled.
When the gates of the exposition are
opened on November 10Th, for the
great live stock roundup of the season,
the public will realize that regardless
of obstacles and abnormal conditions
nothing essential to the success of the
exposition has been overlooked.

READERS

Under the rules Of the postoffice de-
partment the second class mail priv
ileges are allowed newspapers only on
subscriptions which have been paid for
and a publisher is not permitted to
presume that subscriber wants his pa
per continued beyond the period for
which he has paid. A newspaper is
expected by the department to collect
its subscription in advance and to dis
continue it at the expiration of the
paid period. After the lapse of rea-
sonable time, the subscription in ad-
vance for another term remaining I'M
paid, the newspaper is required under
pain of loss of it's second class mail
ing privileges, without which it could
hardly do business, to take the sub
scriber's name from It's lists.
The Reporter does not question the
credit of its readers. But it cannot
safely ignore the rules. Nor can it
afford, at the low price charged for
the Reporter, price cut in two when
other commodities were advancing, to
maintain a rate of 81 y year in Wood
county and $3.50 outside it, unless all
subscriptions are regularly paid.
1t wishes, therefore, respectfully to
advise its subscribers, whose paidup
period has expired or is soon to expire,
to examine the label on their paper,
and if their term is up or soon will be,
to send in promptly their money,
checks or money orders for renewal of
their subscriptions After December
31st, 1919 the names Of those whose
subscription is not paid in advance
will be taken of the lists.
We expect to enlarge The Reporter
back to it's SPACE size on January 1,

will be $500 per year. We also ex-

NOVEMBER q

ize something O. the present process of
all kinds of machinery, tools, and in
fact any sort of hardware November
is here. We can expect stormy wea-
Their with snow and sleet almost any

day off from your other work and
devote all your time to gathering up
farm machinery, tools, etc., and put
them away for the winter.
A little grease and oil now to pre-
vent rust viii save you a lot of time
next spring. After you have got
your material all gathered up and put
away, take a sheet on everything. AS
a basis on which to work use the
prices now charged for machinery,
compare that with secondhand ma
chinery as sold at auctions. Include
in this inventory all small items such
as pitchforks, hoes, hammers, saws,
and tools of all sorts and descriptions.
When you get this inventory you will
be surprised how much money is re-
presented. This should be an incentive
for better care of farm machinery in
the future.
Do this at once. 1t will be a days
time well spent. Make some day this
week pickup day. Suppose you make
Saturday, November Is, pickup day.

And THE
GOAT PAY S

When the president appointed price
fixing committees in various sections
Of the country it was assumed that
these committees would take some
definite action toward checking the
rampant profteering which is ravag-
ing the nation.
But apparently it has had about as
much effect as puff of wind in the
teeth of gale.
Here is a sample.
In Chicago they have a price fixing
committee, and a subcommittee on
coal On that subcommittee are nine
members-three operators, three
wholesalers and three retailers-all
people who SELL COAL, and are ma
turally interested in squeezing the
consumer to the limit of squeezibility.
Whether or not this farcical condi-
ton is typical of the country as a
whole, we do not know. But even a
wooden Indian would have more brains
than to expect relief from a commit
tee composed of the very interests
that have been doing the boosting
The country expected much from
the price fixing machinery.
It has received many glowing prom
Uses, and is waiting for fulfllment.
But waiting is virtue-when nee
essity makes it such.
And the consumer is so virtuous
from long waiting that he is in prime
condition for another royal plucking
In time, no doubts, we goats will
learn to expect nothing and receive
less than we expect.
It is a great life-for all but the
goats.

to the operation of hotels by the
japanese. About two years ago.
when the former prosecuting
attorney began his attack on
Seattle hotels for violation of
the red light law, a few Japan
ese were caught In the meshes
of the law, and in order to save
themselves from deportation
they turned states evidence.

state to win its cases. As will
