some eighty Wisconsin Rapids people

said IF someone else could have the
political and social honor of being

MISSIONARY RALLY

Declaring that every Christian must
be interested IN Missions, and that
anyone who claims he is a Christian
and yet is not in favor of foreign mis-
sions is inconsistent and a 'back num-
ber," Rev. Hugh Gordon Rdss{ Oh
Pittsfield, Mass, uttered a stirrin G
appeal to his audience at the Church
Night Supper and Missionary Rally
Tuesday evening at the First Congre-
gational church, to get behind the
Missionary program of the denomin-
alton He outlined the missionary
work of the church, stated that it
needs five millions of dollars per year
to carry through and that only lit
tie over three millions has been rails
ed. It really means only half dol
lar a month for each Congregational
ist in America, he said, and he eX-
pressed faith that this would be
Forthcoming, as more and more of the
people are educated along missionary
lines.

N. J. Breed, Pastor to more than two
hundred people who partook of the
excellent supper served by Mrs. Cor
riveau and her aids.

WAS IN ERROR REGARDING MILL

The clipping from paper of forty
two years ago regarding the mill at
Port Edwards which we quoted last
week, was in error in stating that
Merrill and Whitney were associated
in the building of the mill at Port
Whitney's mill was the first on the
Wisconsin River and was located at
the foot of the last rapids, opposite
the end of Market street at Nekoosa,
on the east bank just above Swallow
Rock. 1t was operated only short
time. When Robert Wakely came to
what is now Nekoosa with his family,
making the trip By water from Penn
sylvania, and arriving in 1897, the mill
there had been abandoned. A. B.
Sampson ran it for while in 1887 or
1888, but when Ira Purdy, millwright
come in 1846, and stopped at Wake
leys' tavern, he was told by Mr.. Wake
ley that the mill had been abandoned
for number of years.
The mill at Port Edwards was
built in 1886 and produced it's first
lumber in 1887. 1t was built by Mr..
Merrill and its later history was SUBJ
stantially as outlined in the article
quoted. This is substantiated by
correspondent of the Reporter who in
terviewed Moses VerBunker who came
to Port in 1887, and states positively
that it was in that year that the first
lumber was sawed there.

to her opponent, but said of him, "He
has insulted every American citizen
of German descent by assuming that
all of them were opposed to Americas
course in entering the World War"

tariff legislation that Congress has
been working on for the last few
months. She declared in favor of the

peace and for the welfare of the COM
ing generations in the way of Wo-

ucational work.
Mrs. Hooper is a woman of consid-
cradle legislative experience, has a
