LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER
GETS RICHES IN SEA
United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14-4For-
tune literally washed itself up to the
door of Harry Flint, keeper of a lonely
government lighthouse on the black
rocks of kalae point, the solltlermost
tip of tie island of Hawaii.
The story of how wealth came to the
tender Of lighthouse far off i'll mid
Pacific, reads like south sea novel
One day, while walking upon the
beach near his light, Flint noticed n
very curious substance on the beach
with peculiar odor. He gathered to-
gether 80 pounds of it as salvage, and
sent a sample by the lighthouse tender
to Honolulu to be analyzed.
He received report in due time that
the substance was ambergris, the
priced jewel of the smelly whaling YES
sells, and the foundation of the for
tune of many New England skipper IS
family in the oldcn days.
Anbcrgris is a secretion formed in
the intcstincs of sperm whales. 1t. re-
semblcs tallow mixed with bces-wax,
and is highly priced in the manufacture
of perfumes.
The present market value of amber
girls is $2S an ounce, and Flint s for
tune from his salvage is now estimated
at $4,000. Flint recently arrived here
from Honolulu and made arrangements
to cash in on his treasure.
Flint declares that he had frequently
seen the material before, floating on
the sea near his station. Many whales
he said, frequent that district. He had
heretofore never given any attention
to the matter. He is planning on or
ganizing company to salvage the
ambergris in that district, and is sure
that fortune awaits him as a result of
his exile in a forgotten corner Of the
Paradise of the Pacific -

WATER falling
AFTER SEVERAL
DAYS RAMPAGE

All who have been withstanding the
chill in buildings along the river in
which it has been impossible to heat
because of water in the Easements,
go down on Wednesday. On Tuesday,
just "a years to day since the old
bridge was torn out by the ice jam of
April II, 1888, the river reached a
stage somewhat above 13 feet and be-
gan to splash over on to First street
north opposite the Library. Sand
bags were hauled and piled on the
wall from Eugene Miller's bicycle
shop to the foot of the hill, to prevent
flooding of the street.
The filling between the river bank
and the new cement wall of the Mu-
nicipal Swimming Pool was washed
out and part of the bank near the
lower bathhouse was washed away
nearly up to the foundation of the
bathhouse.
Second street south was flooded for
two or three blocks at it's lower end
and Second Avenue south was under
water for a considerable distance.
The evenings meetings in the Con-
gregational Church had to be aban-
doned for several days because of the
water in the basement making it i'm
possible to warm the auditorium. The
mills of the Consolidated Company
here, and Of the Nekoosa- Edwards
Paper Company at Nekoosa and Port
Edwards were shut down for a short
time this week. This is the first time
the local mills in this city have beer
stopped in their regular operation b.
high water.
The water fell about one foot or
"Wednesday and again nearly a foot
that night. Reports from up the riv.
er would indicate that steady re-
cession to normal stage may now be
expected unless heavy rains should
fall in the north part OF the state
Meanwhile, business, industry and ag
riculture are being held back by the
continued cold, cloudy condition OF
the weather which has prevailed al
this month. Earnest hope and desire
for the warmth of sunshine are ex-
pressed on every hand.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1922-04-13

By rendering assistance to the agri
cultural sections the Congress kept
alive the buying power of over hall
| the nations population. This aid, al
| though extended directly to agricul
ture, was of vital Importance to bust
ness
Although no act of Congress figured
in the process, nevertheless, the in
f1uences Of the Republican admins
tration, Of which the Congress is a
part, gave such confidence to the
business world that within a year
from the time the Republican party
took control of all branches of the
Government prices of practically all
sound securities advanced materially.
The most outstanding example of this
is the increase of Is per cent. in the
value of S18,000,0 100000 worth Of out
standing Liberty bonds
AS another reflex of the influence Of
the Republican administration, inter-
est rates have been lowered from z
per cent. to Az within II months, thus
releasing money at a reasonable rate
for the use of business interests.
No one has the temerity to deny that
business conditions today, compared
with a year ago, are not infinitely bet
ter and that prospects are undoubted-
ly for further Improvement There is
no other explanation for this trans
formation in the business world ex-
cept the II months application of Re-
publican policies and the certain
knowledge throughout the business
world that the influences and policies
of the Republican Party, which will
direct the affairs of the nation for the
next two years, are constructive in
fuences that make for accumulation

tiVities, stand four-squared for the pro-
lection Of capital and labor and stand
equally firm against the fallacious
theories of Communism and Social
ism.
In brief, the commercial optimism
with which the people of all classes in
the United States face the coming
year must be wholly attributed to the
fact that all branches of the Govern
ment of the United States are now In
control of the Republican Party.

URGES BETTER

The following clipping from a re-
rent issue of the Washington Post
mentions a former Wisconsin resid-
ent, Mr.. C. E. LaVigne, in connec-
ton with an important national move
ment. We are reproducing the whole
of the clipping.
"The executive committee of the
Commercial Standards Council is here
in the interests of bill for the "Im-
rrovement Of business and business
ethics" The measure, now before
Congress, calls for the protection Of
interstate and foreign commerce
against bribery and other corrupt
trades practices" H. R. Kenner, sec
rotary of the council, said the bill
aims to weed out dishonesty and NAL
practice by some industrial concerns,
and put American business ahead of
that of other countries.
III. R. Heydon, president of the
council, said, "Only an awakened and
enlightened public opinion can stamp
out the evil now practised. The
great business leaders of the country
and our most important industrial
and commercial organizations are
banded together to work for big,
clean, constructive American bust
ness"
''The bill provides for fine of not
more than $4,000 or not more than
two years in Jail, or both. CoCfes-
sion, under the measure, brings i'm
munity. Several states have similar
but only New Jersey en-
forces it, council officials said. Sew
eral foreign countries also have en-
acted such legislation.
