POWER LINE CONNECTS
BIRON, STEVENS POINT AND
GRAND RAPIDS, WISCONSIN
Consolidated Power Plants to Be Linked Together
With Transmission Line

The Consolidated Water Power and
Paper Co., plant OF this city, has been
connected with their Biron plant three
miles up river by an electrical trans
mission line for the past two years.
1t is constructed along the highway
with iron standards and first class
copper wire and has been giving the
company excellent service. With the
present demands and future growth
Of their industry here they are now
obliged to connect their three mills at
pids together, with a larger and bet
ter line to be able to transmit their
electrical power wherever needed at
each of the three mentioned plants. To
do this they have decided to construct
a new line following the Green Bay
and Western railroad right of way to
Stevens Point with a branch line from
Biron intersecting the main line at the
Biron switch. The putting in of this
line is in charge of George Wakely
native of this city, who has been
with the company for many years and
is fully competent to do this work is
superintendent of the Electrical de-
partment comprising the mill here,
Biron and Stevens Point He has a
crew of twelve men already at work
on this line. They have distributed
large cedar poles fifty feet long along
the right of way which are. shipped
from Idaho to this city and cost about
S33 90 per pole.
When this line is completed the COM
pany will be able to transmit power
created at any one of the three plants,
to any other point, that may need the
surplus power This line being To-
Gated on the right of way of the G.
3. and w. railroad also removes all
danger from exposure along the high
way. When the new Improvements in
this city are completed the company
expect to use 5000 horse power more
electricity than they are now using,
as they expect to use electricity to
oDerate four grinders instead of wa
ter power.

LIBRARY NOTES
Books in Brief Review by Supt E. G
DOudna.

It is often said that nobody reads
poetry in these materialistic days Of
course this is not true, as people now
are reading. appreciating, and memoir
izing more poetry than ever before.
The war produced many poems that
will live forever; poems like "In Flan-
ders Fields" and 'sThe Soldier" John
Masefield said at the close of the war
that no great poems have been pro-
duced. and that the two best lines
were these:
"The joys Of a soldier are chiefly
these:
To have no lice and very few
feas."
In spite of this comment Masefield
had written one of the great poems
of the war, August, 1914" Masefield
had been recognized as a really great
poet before this. He and Kipling are
rivals for the honor of being the two
greatest poets of present day Eng
lish, although their work cannot b
compared Both are represented by
two new books in the T. B. Scott Pub
lie Library. Masefield's "The Ever
LASTING Mercy" is the story Of re
.narfalla inversion Of a prize fighter
@Nc.r friends. observe and look up
On ne,
Mark how the Lord took pity on
me-"
Since Chaueer no one has had the
remarkable combination of poetic in
sieht and narrative ability that this
poem reveals in Masefield. 1t is SIM
pie, forceful. direct and worth a half
an hour of reading. In the same vol
ume is another equally good story,

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP

Filth, dirt and rubbish invite fires
and disease.
Waste paper, packing materials,
oily waste and rags, discarded cloth
ing old furniture and like .useless
rubbish have accumulated during the
long winter Now is the time to rid
your property of all such fire hazards.
Streets, alleys, yards. area-ways, base
ments, attics, closets, fence corners
and out ut-buildings all need attention.
Residents sometimes lose civic pride,
but a stranger will always judge a
town and its citizens by what he sees.
Rubbish breeds fires, it spreads
fires and increases the fire damage, it
makes fire fighting dangerous, some
times impossible because of the vol
me of smoke. Trash sometimes blocks
rear exits and costs precious lives.
Renew that moss covered shingle
roof, rebuild the defective chimney
top, clean out the chimneys. When
YOU take down the stove close up the
f1ue hole with a metal stopper, not
rags or paper.
Replace missing, loose and broken
siding and close up needless wall o.
penings. Sparks may enter.
Whitewash is clean and fire retard
ant.
Apply the paint brush literally.
Spade up fence corners and other
waste ground and raise green grass
flowers and much needed vegetables
instead of unsightly and dangerous
weeds.
This is your home town. 1t is what
you make it. Clean it up, and then
keep it clean.
Clean up, fix up, paint up and spade
up.
Mayors should proclaim a CLEAN

It is generally known that the Con-
sOlidated Water Power & Paper Co.,
had splendid railroad trackage in their
yards before they started to put in the
present improvements. To facilitate
and make possible the improvements
now underway, it was necessary to
lay other switchtracks to care for
the new conditions. The company
have added new trackage and now all
four railroads have switch facilities
to cover all purposes. They can now
unload material of all kinds where
ever thev, want it on either one of the
forr railroads. The city did the right
thin" in vacating the streets necessary
to accomplish these changes as the
cCmnany are making wonderful i'm
pr0yements in this part of the city.
