bridge IS
NEARLY GONE:

The steel work of the east span of
the old bridge has been completely
wrecked, most of the floor has been
torn UP and preparations for pouring
the east arch of the lower half of the
new concrete bridge are being rushed
along. The false work under the west
half of the old span is being set up
and the wrecking is to go on at the
same time with the pouring of the
new arches.
There is about twenty-one days of
concrete pouring to be done, it is said
and the builders are anxious to get it
done and have it set and the forms and
false work out of the way before the
spring high water. Compressed air
drills are being used in wrecking the
old stone work, and an acetylene blow
torch is in action cutting the steel
frame work, of the old bridge. Much
time and labor is being saved by these
modern methods

RAID ALLEGED
GAMBLINGPLACE

Wednesday, the rooms above the
Cozy Restaurant were raided by the
police acting under warrant secured
by the District Attorney, and gamb-
ling paraphernalia used in playing
stud" poker was confscated, the
pronrietor, Peter Tomsyck, was ar
rested, and action was held open pend
ing the return to the city of the owner,
Harvey Gee.
This was the outcome of several at
tempts on the part of authorities to
secure evidence against gambling
places here. This time the testimony
was largely furnished by Thomas
Tomsyck, a brother of the proprietor,
who was lately bound over an charge
of forgery, who says that he has lost
about S740 in the place Since last Sep
tember. Testimony was taken from
other parties who had said they had
played there with varying degrees of
success,

tconcerts this season.
He also mentioned the plan of a Mas
iquerade for the benefit of the band
which is to be give on Feb. 20.

duty as Representatives Of that city is
to urge the completion of the good
road between the county line and their
town, SO chat access to each place

w. F. Kellogg gave a strong appeal
for the Building and Loan Association,
land declared that the business growth
o the city is now being retarded by the
fact that there are not enough moder-
ate priced homes here. 1t is the duty
he said, Of every merchant to support
the Association by subscribing for as
much of its installmnt stock as possi-
bic. 1t is not only a good enterprise
for the promotion Of the community's
interests, but is an excellent invest
ment as well, being safeguarded by the
State Banking System of laws and
regulation, and secured by gilt-edged
real-estate mortgages.
Paul Pratt urged the citizens of the
of the community to support the local
basket ball team by attending the
games, for the team is doing more to
adbertise the city, by it's good playing
and its position among the strongest
teams in the state, than any one other
activity here.
l. E. Wilcox urged the use of window
displays of the advertised bargains on
Sales Days
1t was decided to continue the auc-
tion feature of Sales Day. and the
names of more than thirty men were
secured as active partakers in the
sales day advertising. Ferd Link
pointed out that on the January Sales
Day he had bought more meat from
the farmers than in any previous week
for some time. This money, he said,
was largely spent right here ir town,
so that while he had not felt mach in
crease IN sales at that time, still he
was satisfied that the whole plan
would work to the benefit of all dealers
in the city.

BURNED
ITSELF OUT

A peculiar instance occurred Tues
day at the residence of F. Gilmore
Layton on Birch street, when a water
heater in the basement exploded and
set fire to the stairway and floor. The
flre burned apparently for some time,
and charred the joists, cracked win
dows, burned into a pantry where it
damaged things considerably, and then
died out. No one was in the house.
and the fire was entirely out when its
work was discovered.
Fire Chief A. c. Miller gave it as

trngulshed by smothering process.
the house being closed sufficiently to
keep air from it. That intense heat
had been generated was shown by the
cracked glass in the window, and by
other evidences, and it was an unusual
and very fortunate circumstance that
no opening was made by the fire suffi-
|cient to admit the fresh air that would
have fed the flames and caused the
entire destruction of the dwelling.

WILL BUILD
POWER Dam

Peter Lewis of the C. R. Meyers Con
struction Co., now in charge of the
work on the new bridge here, went to
Winter, Wis, last week to meet with
Harry Meyer of Oshkosh and confer
regarding large piece of contract
work which that company is starting
there. The project is large earth
work and concrete dam at the junction
of the east and west forks of the Chip
pewa River, in Sawyer county, about
seven miles northwest of the village
of Winter. The exact location of the
work is on the Southwest quarter of
Section 2, Township 80, range 6 west.
This work is being done by the Wis
consin- Minnesota Light & Power Co.,
and the plans, estimates, etc., were
prepared by L. A. DeGuere of this city.
The contract is for some S250,000,
it is stated, and the work will take at
least year to perform. 1t is large-
ly earthwork, and the job of moving
dirt for the dam has been sublet to an
Eau Claire firm, who have promised
to have seventy or more horses on the
works. The concrete portion of the
dam will be AZ feet high and there
will be three gates 20 feet wide. The
dam will form a large reservoir SO
that reasonably regular and plenti-
ful supply of waterpower may be de-
pended upon.
Sixteen four horse teams are now at
work hauling in materials on the snow
and men are getting their camps in
shape and setting up the equipment.
Loads of eight tons each are being
| hauled, it is said. Even at this rate
the hauling will take some time, for
there are 500 tons of steel to be haul
ed the seven miles from Winter to the
dam-site, $4,000 barrels of cement. and
and large consignulents of equipment
supplies and other materials for use
IN this important undertaking.
Many local residents who have hunt
ed through the country about Winter
will be interested in this new develop
nent in Sawyer county which will oper
up new supply of white coal, for
use in the cities of the western part
of the state and in eastern Minnesota
