LOWER DAM IS OUT
Water From Below Cuts Under Piers
and the Structure
Succumbs.
The lower clam, four miles below
Ladysmith on the Flambeau river gave
way Thursday morning when about
sixty feet of it went out.
Our information is that the trouble
came from the water below the dam
cutting the foundation from under the
concrete piers. An immense eddy has
prevailed, producing the result stated.
The result will be a suspense of the
' operation of the lower pulp mill while
the dam is being re-constructed.
The loss to the concern and delay in
the operation of the pulp plant are a
matter of regret. However, the sus
pense will be made as brief as possible.

TEST BUTTER AND CHEESE
Expert Advice to be Furnished Free
to Dairymen.
Madison, Wis., March 30—Professor
E. H. Farrington of tha University of
Wisconsin dairy school announces today
anew plan by which butter and cheese
makers of the state may send their pro
ducts each month to the dairy school
for expert examination and advice as to
merits and defects. The purpose is to
have the regular every-day products of
the factories examined monthly by com
petent judges at the dairy school. The
results of the examination, together with
a letter of advice, will be returned to
the butter and cheese makers without
delay. The purpose of the new arrange
ment is to be helpful in raising the qual
ity of Wisconsin butter and cheese to the
highest standard, and to aid in locating
the causes of defects in these products.
These monthly examinations are in no
sense contests, but are designed purely
to assist the butter maker and the cheese
maker in his effort to improve his pro
ducts, and to maintain a high standard
of quality in them.
It is planned to issue diplomas to all
persons taking part in each exhibit dur
ing the year. Three classes of diplomas
will be issued. Diplomas of class A will
be awarded to those having an average
score of 95 or more; class B diplomas to
those whose average score is between
90 and 95; and class C diplomas to those
with an average score of 85 to 90. These
certificates will be duly signed by the
authorities, and can be used by those
receiving them as an indication of the
excellence of the products.

BUILDINGS NEEDED
Make Your Vacant Lots Yield In
come by Erecting Needed
Buildings.
Ladysmith needs more building of all
kinds—both business and residence buiki
ngs are in about equal demand.
Vacant lots represent one-third or
more of the investment needed to pro
duce an income. If vacant, they yield
no income: if improved they pay hand
some dividends. This city has a future
brighter than its past, the demand for
more buildings N is now' urgent.
Scarcely a day passes without inquiry
for room in which to transact business,
and many inquiries for buildings for
residences. The best interests of the
city demand many buildings in both lines.
Rents are such as pay excellent re
turns. No better or safer investment
can be made than in dividend paying
real estate. This is especially true in
Ladysmith.
