“The remarkable development of the
water power of the upper Wisconsin
river is a matter which should be ex
ploited,” said Mayor Bert Williams of
Ashland at the Hotel Pfistcr. ‘‘At
Rhinelander they are building very
pretentions plants for a paper mill
which will have cost in the neighbor
hood of 11,000,000 and at Grand Rapids
improvements to the extent of §1,200,-
000 are being made. The people in
that part of the state are greatly in
terested in the prospects The improve
ments are the work of local companies
largely, at Rhinelander Congressman
Brown being interested with others
It shows that the paper mill is to sue
ceed the sawmill as the leading indns
try in northern Wisconsin. The
water power on the Wisconsin river i 1

think of the trouble the manufacturers j
on Fox river hsve in getting power, it j
is surprising that more attention has)
not been directed towards the great j
power that has been going to wate on j
the Wisconsin rirer. At Grand Rapids I
M 0,600 was paid for the riparian rig its j
