GINSENG FARM AND
NEW FOX RANCH
INCORPORATION PAPERS
EXPECTED ANY DAY
FROM MADISON

A new ginseng farm and fox ranch
is being organized by Nieman Bros,
of the town of Hamburg, in which Ed
ward and William Nieman, the latter
the owner of the Wausau Garage, are
interested, and A. p. Schilling, the
owner of 200 acre farm in the town
of Emmett, five and half miles west
of Mosinee on county highway and
only short distance from Halder.
Incorporating
Articles of incorporation are ex-
pected to arrive from Madison any day
and 100000 worth of stick will be dis
posed of. Mr.. Schilling will be inter-
ested in the new venture to the ex-
tent of $4,000 and Nieman Bros,
$4,000. AS soon as $4,000 worth of
stock is disposed of, according to Mr..
Schilling, the stockholders will meet,
officers will be elected and arrange
ments will be made to start operations
next spring.
1T is our desire to start on rather
an extensive SCALE" Mr.. Schilling told
the editor of the Pilot "Those who
have looked over my farm in the town
of Emmett, where | have resided for
sixteen years, say it is an ideal loca-
tion for a fox ranch and ginseng farm.
The soil is rich and at the same time,
no matter how dry it may become the
ground never bakes. And no matter
how much rain, there is never any
mud to speak Of All this is most fa-
vorable to ginseng and foxes
Begin i'm Spring
Twenty pairs of foxes will be pur-
chased in the spring, after fencing
has been completed. The incorporat-
ors do not anticipate that it will be
possible to do much this fall but they
wish to get supplies ready so that
construction can begin as soon as
things open up next year. Mr. Schil-
ling has cleared 100 acres of land
during his residence in the town of
Emmett and has entered enthusiastic
cally into this new venture. The ranch
will be stocked with the black silver
grey fox.
Nieman Bros. of Merrill sold twen-
ty-eight black foxes, at $500 each, to
A. S. Williams, who owns large
ranch at Muskegon, Mich.

ST. STEPHENS IS
FORTY YEARS OLD
CHURCH WILL CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY NEXT
SUNDAY

Forty years of continuous Christian
service, are to be celebrated by the $40
families affiliated with st. Stephens
Evangelical Lutheran church next
Sunday. 1t was ON November 13, 1881,
that twenty-three, or twenty-five men,
who had withdrawn from st. PauPs
Evangelical church, definitely decid-
ed to form another congregation, Sc
lected the name, called a pastor and
voted to purchase the old Universal
ist church property on the corner of
Fifth and Mcclellan streets, where
the imposing edifice of st. Stephens
congregation now stands.
Sundays Program
A program betting this important
occasion has been arranged by the
Rev. William Spiegel, pastor at the
present time. At $50 o'clock next
Sunday forenoon, German service
will be held, when the Rev. III. Eisen-
bach of Oconto, will speak. In the
afternoon all members of the con-
gregation are invited to meet at the
church parlors for a social gathering
and in the evening at 1880, there will
be an English speaker, the Prof H.
Doermann, of st. Paul, Mimi. Of the
Lutheran Theological seminary in that
city The public is mordialy invited
to attend these exercises.
The founders of st. Stephens church
met on November 9Th, 1881, to dis
cuss the possibility of forming con-
gregation. On November 18th they
reached their conclusion. The prop
erty of the Universalist church on the
northeast corner of Fifth and McClel-
Ian streets was Immediately purchased
for $4,000. The Rev. f. G. Reinicke,
who was at that time pastor of ST.
Pauls church, was rendered call
and accepted. He served the church
until 1898 Following Rev. Reinicke
came the Rev. f. Werhahn, who was
pastor until 1910, when call was ex-
tended to the present pastor, the Rev.
VIM. Spiegel.
Start School
Not long after the Universalist prop
erty was purchased, some improve
ments were made to the structure. A
steeple was constructed, basement
built and the auditorium was some
what changed The parochial school
was started in 1886, after a basement
had been arranged, and G. Giese was
called as professor Mr. Giese has
been located III Wausau since that
time and is still connected with the
institution.
On account of the constant growth
of the congregation from about 300
families in 1894 to over 500 today, an
impressive new church was built in
1910 at cost of 100000. The struc-
ture, now occupied, is large and at
tractive, and there is church audito-
rum which accommodates LOO peo-
pie. The basement of the big edi-
fee has been so arranged that the
parochial school of about seventy pu-
pills uses two rooms while a third
room is open to the various clubs with
in the church. The school Will un-
dergo some enlargement during the
coming year, it is anticipated, and a
call has been extended to Prof. F.
Weichert, of Sandusky, Ohio, to be-
come a. member of it's faculty next
year.
The new church was dedicated on
Pentecost in June, 1910, and before
fall. activities were in full swing, the

this Spring, and unless q thorough
application is made with the Lime

time. many of the growers may meet
with disappointment
The output of the Payette Valley
