CITY PARK PLANS

We noticed in last nights Daily Tri-
bune that George w. Mead, president
of the city park and plan commission,
spoke before the Rotary club at We'd
nesday's dinner at which he presented
a few future civic plans to remove all
the business blocks from the Library
building to the new bridge on the riv-
er front. This plan on the part of the
park commission, if it can be carried
out, would certainly be wonderful
Improvement in the business section
of Wisconsin Rapids. Whether this
is feasible and possible. the citizens of
this city can form their own opinions.
We believe that it will require an in
vestment of S500,000 to accomplish
this. Yet It's possible if the commun-
ity join hands together. Even though
this can be carried out it's landscape
beauty cannot be preserved without
the erection of the retaining wall
spoken of in former issues of this
newspaper. The floods when they do
come have no respect for the beauti-
full shore banks of the river We have
q constant reminder of this in the dam
age done by the flood waters to the
Consolidated island. To try and save
this island the Consolidated paper

MISTAKE
CAUSES
TRAGEDY
Chicago Motor Tourist, Camping in
Wausau Shoots Two Thinking
They Were Trying to Steal
His Car; Young Man
Dead, Girl Is Recov-
ering.

John Thor Of Marshfeld and Miss
Alice Sloan of Wausau were shot by
Frank M. Harner of Chicago in Wau-
sau Friday night. Thor is dead. Miss
Sloan is expected to recover. The
shooting seems to be the result of a
mistake on the part of Mr.. Harner.
Harner and family were camping
in Marathon park, being enroute in a
coupe. Shortly after retiring for the
night. Harner was awakened by his
wife with a cry that somebody was
trying to steal their car which was
parked in front of the tent. He
erawled out the rear of the tent and
saw car that looked like his. He got
the impression it had been brought
to the rear by bandits. When Thor
was about to drive away, Harner
jumped on the running board with
shout that the car was his Thinking
that Harner was a holdup man, Thor
failed to stop and then Harner fired
three shots into the car. The first
bullet hit Miss Sloan in the arm, the
second hit Mr. Thor in the arm and
the third went into his right temple.
He died an hour later.
Harner is a buyer of a plumbers
supply house of Chicago and was tour
ing in Northern Wisconsin with his
wife and child. He was charged with
second degree murder and committed
to the county Jail when he failed to
give bail in the sum of $4,000. He is
a veteran of the world war.
According tc Miss Sloan her COM
panion was taking her home to Wau-
sau after spending the evening at the
home of her sister few miles from

OUTLOOK

County Agent Peterson says: "The
future of the dairy industry looks very
promising, the dairy cow is being rec
ognized more and more each day as
a big factor in human health and pros
perity. The demand for grade and
purebred Guernseys seems unlimited
and it is interesting to note that the
demand comes from al parts of the
country. Wood county cattle have
found homes in the last few months
in Canada, Washington, California,
Kansas, Georgia, New Jersey and in
number of states nearer Wisconsin.
t'The price of dairy products is hold
ing fairly well and with the big ad=
vertising campaign for dairy products
just ahead of us, it looks as though
the cow is in line for her share of
glory.
"a little more enthusiasm, co-opera-
tion and push on the part of the Wood
County Guernsey Breeders is needed
to keep the ball rolling"

GETTING READY
FOR EMERGENCY

Two u. S. mail boxes were placed
this week, one on the south side near
the n. johnson residence and the other
adjacent to the county normal school
building for the use of patrons in those
two sections of the city.
Albert L. Fontaine, postmaster, has
been requested by David Evans of
Milwaukee, chief railway mail clerk,
to secure bids on carrying mail from
Wisconsin Rapids to the nearby post
Offices by truck. This is means TAX
en- by the department to provide for
the carrying of mail to these points in
case the railroad strike cripples the
delivery by rail. We have asked for
bids to carry mail from this city to
Vesper and Arpin and return, also
from this city to Bancroft, Almond,

Later Citizens Hope to See Line Run

At the meeting Of the common coun-

track across the wagon bridge. The
city agrees to stand whatever neces-
sary expense that would be connected
with laying the brick inside the tracks
while they were laying brick for the
balance of the bridge A resolution
was passed providing for this by the
common council and every member of
that body voted in it's favor which was
very much appreciated by all con-
cerned, and we believe it was the right
and proper thing to do. The street

SUGGESTION
TO THE COUNCIL.

While in Clintonville the past week
out attention was attracted to the
beautiful free camping grounds for
tourists located almost in the heart of
Clintonville 1t consists of about 20
acres in a beautiful location with
heavy growth of trees and winding
creek which is spanned by two rustic
foot bridges. They also have large
number of we'll made regular lunch
tables located in various parts of the
grounds for the use of tourists. They
also have large log constructed build
ing made of hemlock logs. This is
supplied with oil stoves, tables, chairs,
ETC., all suitable for camping purpose
This is a very attractive building for
this purpose. They also have pump
with fresh spring water, large stove
made of brick and sheet iron and plen-
ty of kindling wood to make fires, all
free to the campers. For city of
$500 population this feature is cer-
bdlIily ali dLCIdCt1OfI, IOCdISI HI tuc
heart of their city, that is commented
upon very favorably by tourists. This
suggested to our minds the lack of
such conveniences for tourists in our
city, and we wondered why Wisconsin
Rapids could not set aside about one
half of library park for similar pur
poses. The reason why we suggest
this park is because it is handy to the
business section and it is almost. ad-
jacent to the Swimming pool. Our
swimming pool would be most invit-
ing and attractive feature to tourists
going through the country as an at
traction to campers. Why not consid-
er the converting of the back half of
this park for said purposes. Think it
over, and then take steps along this
line

Wild Rose and Wautoma and return
There appears to be feeling that il
might be necessary if conditions con-
tlnue to grow worse to receive oul
mail and deliver it by truck We sim
cerely hope this will not prove neces-
sary
Mr. Evans, who has charge of the
Milwaukee district, comprising Wis
consin and upper Michigan, reports
that bids for motor truck delivery,
should it become necessary, have be-
gun to arrive at his Office. Among
them is an offer from Clintonville,
Wis, company which makes four
wheel drive trucks, to provide trucks
with steel fianged road wheels. The
company claims these trucks can trav-
Ell 200 miles day and would solve the
problem of transportating mail from
distributing centers to surrounding
cities not served by railroad trains.

Street CAR SERVICE FOR
EAST SIDE SEEMS ASSURED

teries and on to the village Of Biron.
There has never been anything
which occurred in this city that will go
so far toward cementing the already
splendid feeling between the east
and west sides. Our new bridge is
simply street which spans the Wis
consin river and makes us one united
people. We must all cooperate to-
gether for the upbuilding of both
sides of the river and no one should
favor the one side as against the 9TH
er in any improvements of progress
that will enlarge the scope of our
tine city. We. have many things to
commend us, and we have yet many
things to accomplish. We predict that
the time is coming when the city Of
Wisconsin Rapids will be one of the
most attractive centers in the state.
May we all pull together to that end
May we lay aside all pickering on mat
ters that are of slight Importance as
to whether they are located on one
side or the other of the river.
Nothing can occur for the up
building of one side, but what the
other will enjoy the success of it. Let
US be broad guaged and liberal minded
in all our developments and join in
one great big family for the upbuild-
ing of each of it's members. This will
bring long life. happiness and pros
perity to US all.

INSTALL COOLING APPARATUS


Reiland brothers, meat dealers at
Vine and Second streets, have adopted
the latest method of keeping their
meats in the proper condition during
sists of refrigerator and an ice-mak-
ing machine which were installed the
past week, displacing the ice-box
which had to be replenished at inter-
walls with ice from supplies harvest
ed during the winter. Their refriger-
alton capacity is now twice as large as
formerly, and this firm is now prepar-
ed better than ever to furnish their
patrons with choicest meats at all
times.

central Wisconsin, due to the failure
of Milwaukee financial institutions to
accept mortgages on light soil lands
consequently ne held, the problem of
farm development in this section
was quarely up to the bankers.
II. D. Baker, ST. Croix Falls bank
er, proposed a credit association, a
sort of clearing house for the banks of
all farm mortgages, through which
he was sure all the securities could be
disposed of, especially to the insurance
companies.
After splendid dinner in the Wit
ter Hotel, served at 1 O'Clock, Mr..
Baker again outlined his plan, that of
rural credit association. A lengthy
discussion followed, in which practi-
caily everyone present expressed his
views. The sentiment favored hhs
ioea. The discussion ended with the
appointment of committee to nomin-
ate directors as detail in the COM
pletion of the Central Wisconsin De-
velopment association. One director
was selected for each of the eleven
counties comprising the associations
territory. The matter of deciding on
a plan of organization for the rural
credit association was referred to the
directors and the officers, who are
to meet in Wausau on August and
make report at another general
meeting.
c.. C. Fuller of Necedah president of
the Development association, served
as chairman of the banquet.

ATTY. GENERAL
MORGAN

Attorney General VIM. j. Morgan
Independent Progressive Republican
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor. addressed large
crowd of people in the court house
park Thursday evening on the cam
paign issues He took Gov. Blaine, his
opponent, to task for opposing an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for his office
for investigating and prosecuting
trusts and price fixing combinations
in this state and gave an account of
the thousands of dollars he had saved
the people with the money that was
granted him over the governors op-
position. He branded the beer and
wine issue which he said his opponent
injected into the campaign as a fraud
ulent attempt to get votes, declaring
that no governor or state legislature
had the power to change the Volstead
law, that it was a matter for congress
to decide.
Two years ago, he said, Gov Blaine
stood an the Non-P Partisan league
platform with 'hoth feet" 'sWhy has
he, this year, dropped certain policies
advocated by the League ?" the speak
er queried. Again he asked: "Has
the Leagues defeat in North Dakota
frightened him, or has his sympathy
for the League grown cold since it has
shown evidence of throwing off its
Socialistic leadership? The latter ap-
pears to be the case as our distinguish
ed senior senator is now in open alli-
ance with Victor Berger, one of the
leaders of the Socialist party of A
merica. An effort is now being made
to re-organize the Non Partisan lea
que as a real farmers party"
He said he stood on a platform of
strict economy, simplicity in govern
ment and reduction of taxes. One
way of reducing taxes, he said, was to
consolidate some of the commissions,
boards and positions at the state capi-
tol which he held to be superfiuous and
therefore an unnecessary expense to
the state.

not lose sight of the commercial in

But, candidly, we are stumped.
There are so many sensations, and
they come SO thick and fast, that We

Therefore, dear friends, we hum

that you refrain from expecting the
impossible from us.
Besides, this is not sensational
