REGISTER 93
UNEMPLOYED

Ninety-three unemployed had been
registered at the Consolidated Mill Of
fee Wednesday morning. Of these
thirty had been placed, either in the
mills or elsewhere. Reg
istration is to continue each Mon
day morning, as long as necessary to
relieve the situation and employers
thus have an opportunity to have their
needs filled as well as workers receiv-
ing chance to secure work in exact
" the same manner as at the usual
form Of free employment bureau.
Many of those registering were
young men, and others were elderly or
unframed for any but rough labor.
Some of these even refused work
shoveling coal, which was offered.
Some were from outlying towns, and
a number Were found who have not
been regularly employed for some
years past. Some who were offered
immediate work, preferred to wait and
select their opportunity, and seemed to
be so situated as to be able to do so.
The conclusion is that the unemploy-
ment situation here is not so acute as
it has been represented, or that some
influence or attitude among them from
registering at this time.

Will WORKOUT
AGREEMENT AS
TO WATERPOVER

Representatives of ten concerns us
ing water power on the Wisconsin Riv-
er met here Tuesday at the Firsc Ma
tional Bank, at the instance of local
manufacturers, to work out an equita-
BILE plan for water control. There had
been some complaint that power users
up the river were making a practice
of running their ponds low thru the
week and then holding the water back
over Sunday to fill their ponds again
This made the water low for users
further down the river during the fore
part of the week, cutting down pro-
duction and producing unnecessary
unemployment. The companies invol-
we'd decided and agreed to let their
engineers work out an equitable plan
of water control, and also to bring
pressure to bear on users who were
not represented here to the end that
unfair manipulation of water supply
may be done away with.
| The following nine concerns were
represented: Nekoosa- Edwards Paper
Co, Consolidated Water Power & Pa
per Co., Whiting -Plover Paper Co.,
Wisconsin River Pulp & Paper Co.,
Marathon Paper Mills Co., Wisconsin
Valley Electric Co., Grandfather Fails
Co., Wausau Paper Mills Co., and hte
Rhinelander Light & Power Co.

SELL ANOTHER
FWD. Rail. CAR
Letter Showing Demand By States
For FWD. For Highway Con-
struction Work
From Clintonville Gazette:-

From Clintonville Gazette
Another installment of FWD rail
equipment into short line railroad
service is to eb made as soon as
shipment of the equipment can be
made, which will be in very few
days.
The order received by our Sales
Department from the Oil Fields
Short Line R. r. of Oklahoma, calls
for standard FWD railway chas-
sis, equipped with body similar to
that on the FWD operated by the
Palatine, Lake Zurick and Waconda
R. R. Of Palatine, Illinois.
The car is to operate in the oil
fields of Oklahoma between Dilworth
and Clifford, carrying passengers to
and from the fields.
This adds one more to the long
list of users of FWD rail equipment
and it is safe to say that in a short
time they will be classed as a salts
fed user the same as are all of the
others. Not single one of the users
of FWD rail equipment are dissat-
isfed. Many of them are thinking
of buying more as soon as it is nee
essary. This fact is further proof
of the efficiency of the FWD on
rails.

Federal
income TAX MEN
TOBE HERE
Federal Men Will Assist Taxpayers In
Making Returns

Deputy Collector L. W. Colburn
the first floor of the Library Building,
from February goth to 25th, inclusive
to assist taxpayers in filing their Fed
eral Income Tax returns. These re-
turns must be filed On or before the
18th day of March 1922. In-as-much
as his time in the city is so short, Mr.
Colburn suggests that people, who
have received income tax blanks by
mail, try to make up one of the blanks
in pencil before coming to his Office.
This will save great deal of time and
enable him to assist more taxpayers
than would be possible otherwise.
When a taxpayer presents one of the
blanks made up in pencil, Deputy Col
burn will O. K. it, or make the neces-
sary corrections, and the return can
then be made up in ink, sworn to and
turned in. This method will also do
away with the long waits that people
have experienced in the past.
Special Corporation Man.
Z Revenue Agent L. c. Clark will be
here February 27, %, and Mar. 1st, to
assist corporations in fling theis Fed
eral Tax Returns. He will not ex-
pect to assist in the filing of individ-
ual tax returns, so those wishing help
on individual tax blanks must see De-
putty Colburn, Feb. 20 to 25. Revenue
Agent Clark will be at Deputy Col
burns office in the Library building
during his time here.

reservoir has been measured and found
to be $50 barrels day in a normal
season, and to average over 100 bar
rels a day through all seasons. This
supply, which is continuous sheet of
water flowing through stratum of
coarse sand and gravel, above layer
of clay and below layer of impervi-
Gus hardpan sFhich keeps out Surface
water, is pure, clear, and can easily
be kept from surface contamination,
lis the claim. Those who have long
observed its flow and have used it
for many years in a small way, say
that it is abundant
1t is also said by those who advo-
cats the extension Cf this collection
that the wells to the east of the city
are actually gathering surface water
from the marshes to the east, due to
the fact that the supply is not protect
led by the layer of hardpan above
which protects the supply at the riv-
Ter bank. This surface water is i'm
Ipregnated with bog iron held in So
LUTON in the water by reason of the
marsh gases which it contains, and
this bog iron is precipitated when the
water loses these gases, upon COM
ling in contact with the air. This
precipitated brownish red iron salt
lis what they say gives the water from
that source the disagreeable odor and
taste of which citizens on the east side
Especially complain.
They point out further, that when a
Temporary collection lateral was laid
at the Third street station last sum-
nler, it was laid in the clay below the
water bearing stratum, and the water
was discolored by the red clay, and al
$50 by reason of the fact that this clay
stratum contains veins of water which
are full of bog iron, and some water
from this source also entered the pipes
land reservoirs.
The concentration of the water
works for the city upon the spring
water supply, which these people adj
|vocate would require, first, an mex
|pensive collection system at the edge
|of the layer of water-bearing gravel,
along the first food-plain of the river
bank, and second, the purchase or ac-
quirement of land enough above and
back of the reservoirs TO remove and
Iprevent habitations there from con-
Illuminating the natural filtration sup
Iplied by tie Sand hill and underlying
soil. The collection system would
ave to be protected also from the run
lining in of surface drainage
And On The Other Hand.
The collection system at the Oak
lstreet station, which taps the same
gravel and sand stratum by means of
wells, that yields the surface flow at
the base of the hill along the river
bank, is the one that is being extend
led. This is being done on the advice
of Prof Baggs Of Lawrence College,
Appleton, and of Mr.. Kirchever of
Madison, both of whom are experts
ON such matters.

 On First of Week

MORALES. Ariz., July S.-With re- buttal evidence concluded today, and final arguments scheduled to open Monday morning, indications were that the trial of Placido Silvas, charg- ed with the murder of Mrs. J. Frank Pearson, will be in the jury's hands before Monday evening.
 The defense sprang another sur prise today when it introduced mod el of the Ruby, Ariz., postoffice where Mrs. Pearson and her husband were slain by bandits last August. By means of the model, Silvas' attorney sought to show that from where she said she stood at the time Of the shoot ing. Miss Irene Pearson, a sister of Postmaster Pearson and one of the principal witnesses for the prosecu- tion, could not have seen Silvas where she said he was standing because partition taller than herself was be- tween them.
