ING CORPS AT ASHEVILLE,
n. G.

Woaeen of the middle-west, as we'll
as other sections of the country, are
beginning to enroll for the u. S. Train
ing Corps Camp, which opens at Ashe-
vile, N. c., July 18th, and extends to
August 25th, under the direction OF
the national commandant, Susanna
Cocroft of Chicago, who had charge
of the first of these camps to train
women for health and recreation at
Lake Geneva, Wis, last year. The
camp period is divided into three
terms of two weeks each. Many of
the enrollments are for the entire per-
iod, while some are for one and others
for, two terms. There will be accom-
modations at Asheville for 1000 wo-
men at a time and from the interest
that is shown in various sections ofthe
country, including the states of Hi
nois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Ohio, the second test of this plan,
originated by Commandant Cocroft,
will be more successful than the camp
held at lake Geneva, where 127 women
from twenty-five states built up their
health.
AS pointed out by Commandant Co.
croft, every woman needs at least once
a year a wholesome constructive va
cation out of doors.

WAUSAU TELEPHONE COM.
PANY BUSY

The Wausau Telephone company
has a crew of men at work in the
basement arranging for its new power
plant. This necessitates the tearing
out of and building partitions and
making changes. The directors room
which has always been in the base
ment, is to be on the first floor here
after. The old power plant was in
adequate to take care of the rapidly
increasing number of subscribers. The
new plant was ordered last year and
it was expected that it would be in use
long before but like everything else,
it has been impossible for the COM
pany to get even instruments and the
necessary things, to give all service
who re iuested it. The company has
been sadly handicapped for materials;
it had to place cables in underground
conduits at the concrete bridge, and
the island, and on Grand avenue which
is now in progress of paving. A car
load of tile conduitS were received last
week which assures the company of
enough to complete the work on Grand
avenue and to keep ahead of the street
paving. There is lots of work ahead
of the company, but as before stated,
the work is very slow on account of
the difficulty met in obtaining mater

HOUSING CORPORATION is
DOING BUSINESS

WausaG's new housing corporation
selected its trustees at a meeting held
last Tuesday evening, C. S. Gilbert ac-
cepting the post. Mr.. Gilbert will
handle all transactions. The concern
has been organized to extend to per-
sons desiring homes a helping hand,
and it is planned to lend even as much
as ninety per cent of the total needed
for any particular job. Builders will
be permitted to select their own sites
and they will have complete control
of the funds they have borrowed when
constructing a home. There will be
employed a man to go between the
housing corporation and the builder
to see that construction is progress
ing satisfactorily for both parties.
The Chamber of Commerce now has
cards ready for those who desire to
borrow on the basis arranged, that is,
that the builder shall possess at least
ten per cent of the final cost of build
ing. There is one house under con-
struction now and other loans for the
same purpose are under consideration,
according to w. r. Chellis.

BIG STORM IN MILWAUKEE

Wausau had a heavy rain ON Tues
day night when over one and hall
inches fell, but it was hardly to be
compared with the rain in Milwaukee
on Wednesday where there was veri-
table cloud burst and 3.14 inches fell
within a period of 65 minutes. The
streets were flooded knee deep, base
ments were filled and 500 calls for
help were sent out asking help from
the fire department to pump them out.
Very few realize what 314 inches OF
rain, falling in day or night means.
If distributed up and down the valley
of the Wisconsin, it would mean a big
freShet, coming in an hour in Milwau-
kee the sewers could not possibly take
care of the water and it was a de-
luge, all the traffic had to be suspend
ed 1t was the heaviest rain fall ever
known in that city. The same cloud
burst was felt heavily in the Menom-
inee valley. More than 700 feet of the
Milwaukee road was washed out. 1t
was thought that the dam at Menomi-
nee would go out, but it held notwith-
standing the awful pressure. Prac-
tically every town below the Falls
was under water.
There was heavy thunder and light
ming with the storm. The jefferson
school building at Oconto Falls was
struck by lightning and entirely des-
trOyed.

TAKING CARE OF TOURISTS

All through northern Wisconsin,
progressive towns are arranging
camping sites for tourists. This is
the case especially in the lake dis
trict.
At Eagle River the citizens claim
they have the only rest room for tour
lists in the state. 1t is new concrete
building located on the Maine street
and has a care taker in charge. A
camping ground is being arranged on
the outskirts in a handsome grove.
At Eau Claire a handsome camping
ground has been arranged at Mount
Tom Park.
At Fond du Lac, a place on the fair
grounds has been set aside for camp
ers.
At Wausau there is no doubt but
what the fair grounds can be had for
campers if there is demand for same.
Last year, tourists had a hard time
of it because of hotel accommodations
Many times, loads of tourists had to
borrow tents, put them up, or beg ac
commOdation from private homes. At
some of the northern towns, camping
sites were arranged and they became
very popular.

which, with favorable weather means
good crops all along the line. Corn

the second cultivation has commenced

are doing we'll. Rye and winter wheat
are headed. Rye and oats are reported

RAINS RAISE THE RIVER

The very heavy rain on Tuesday
night sent the river up to a good stage
six feet above low water mark.
Of course the rains few days earlier
had much to do with this, but the
rain fall Tuesday night was especially
heavy, 1876. At Merrill it was 1.63
and at Tomahawk 1.25. This is what
"old timers" would call June fresh
ct. The river went up Wednesday
morning very rapidly for a while and
did some damage for the Wisconsin
Valley Electric company, taking out
some of its Golfer dam in the river be-
low the falls, where the new dam is
being constructed. The rain was fol-
lowed by very cold weather for this
time of the year. Fires had to be
built in homes that the inmates might
be kept comfortable and it was feared
there might be slight frost Thursday
morning, but luckily the temperature
did not drop to that point.
