BANK HERE NOW
Rusk County Bank Purchases
State Bank of Ladysmith,
Effective Thursday

Purchase of the banking business of
the State Bank of Ladysmith by the
Rusk County Bank, of this city, which
became effective yesterday, gives La
dysmith and Rusk county, very
strong financial institution, with de-
posits totalling considerably over
three quarters of a million dollars and
resources of over million dollars.
The State Bank of Ladysmith was
established in 1908. In the nineteen
years of it's history this institution
has done a great deal for the advance
ment of Ladysmith and Rusk county.
1t has been closely identified with ev-
cry movement for building up the city
or county 1t carried the load of
pioneering here, and, even at great
personal sacrifice by the men behind
the institution has ever kept faith
with the public.
The Rusk County Bank, organized in
the spring of 1911, has had a remark
able history of growth. In the same
year. L. G. Streater came here and
became cashier of the bank and the
management of the institution has
been practically without change ever
since. w. f. O'Connor is the presi-
dent Glenn Fl. Williams, vice-presi-
dent; F. w. Kasl, vice-president; r.
B. Macdonald, director. e. G. Thomp-
son. A. C. Moors and G. H. Yorkston
are assistant cashiers.
The merging of these two banks in
to one strong financial institution
puts the Rusk County Bank into COM
manding position in this county. Its
remarkable progress has been due to
able management, always progressive,
but conservative.

COLFAX In WIN
OVER LADYSMITH
Outplay Locals in Interesting
Game Which Showed Visit
ors AS Experienced
Players

Although the Colfax team made
four errors to two for Ladysmith, they
defeated the local boys s to 4 in an
interesting game at the fair grounds
here Sunday afternoon.
The visitors were strong with the
bat and started right off in the first
inning to score and had piled up six
runs when they were retired in the
fourth. Moe, the big COlfax pitcher
had been effective up to this inning,
but in the fifth he blew up and Lady
smith ran in three scores. Then Moe
was taken out and L. Koch was
brought in from left field to take his
place. From that time on no Lady
smith man was able to make the cir
cult of the bags.
Stephan, for Ladysmith, was re
placed by Riley, a southpaw who held
the visitors scoreless during his reign
until the ninth when two more Col
fax players scored.
A good-sized crowd witnessed the
game and they had to hand it to the
ColfaX boys for being a bunch of good
players who showed plenty of evil
dence of being experienced in the
game. The Ladysmith team appeared
to show lack of recent practice.

SAFETY FIRST;
CHEAPER HEAT
City Planning Auxiliary Fire
Protection and Central Heat
ing System

Mayor Luell and Supt. Bovee, of the
city water department, have been
studying for long time on better
system of heating the city library, city
hall and fire station, and all the time
keeping in mind the matter of reserve
protection against fire.
In case of failure of the electric
power cOmpany's line to furnish pow
er to the city water pumping station
through some unforeseen accident or
emergency, protection to the city in
case of a disastrous fire would be linn
tied to the amount Of water in the tank
at the time, and lOng-cOntinued fire
would exhaust the supply, leaving the
city without adequate protection.
Utilize the Unused
1t is now proposed to construct a
boiler house and coal vault in the riv-
er bank, between the fire station and
the old city well, place the big boiler,
now unused at the fire station, in the
boiler room next to the steam fire
pump, also unused at present, and
thus be prepared to pump directly into
| the watermains in case of failure of
the electric pumps to function.
The expense of the proposed i'm
provements and additions will not. be
great, because the we'll is there and
| the boiler and pump are there and
all are in good condition, according to
the statement of Supt. Bovee made
| Wednesday.
| 1t will be necessary to build a small
concrete building, much of which will
i be underground, and which will have
concrete roof The coal vault will
be at the south end and the plans
contemplate the delivery Of the fuel
| directly into the vault by driving the
coal wagons over the coal hole and
dumping This operation will save
considerable expense in handling the
fuel A vault to hold three carloads
of coal is planned.
Only a few extras will be needed,
which will include few lengths of
steam pipe and a few radiators and
| fittings. good stack was purchased
from the Fame Canning Co., few
DAYS ago at a bargain price, as the
old stack at the fire station was worth
| less.
Central Heating System
But probably the first returns on
the proposed investment will be in the
form of steam heat for the three city
buildings located nearby. AS now pro-
vided, each building has it's Individual
heating plant The city hall is heated
by steam, the public library by hot
water, and the fire station by stoves.
, The central plant as planned will fur
nish steam heat for all these build
ings and the steam can be kept up
and regulated by the regular attend
I ants at the fire station without extra
expense.
This plan will do away entirely
with the coal dust nuisance at the Ii
brary, which is both annoying to the
| librarian and the patrons and damag-
| ing to the books.
Practical and Necessary
AS worked out by the city authori-
ties, the plans not only seem practical
! from a financial point of view, but
necessary from protective view
| point.
