TOMAHAWK. In the northern part of Lincoln County, at the confluence of four rivers, the Wisconsin, the Tomahawk, the Somo and the Spirit, may be found the thrifty little city of Tomahawk. Few towns of equal size have better railroad facilities. Its main artery is the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, then follows the Marinette, Tomahawk & Western, which connects with the Soo line, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Wisconsin Central. By reason of its magnificent and almost unlimited water power, several large manufacturing institutions have been erected, including two excellent paper mills. Among other advantages enjoyed are electric lights, water works and sewer system, owned by the municipality, wide streets, good schools and churches, two banks, two good newspapers, several good hotels-one of which, the Mitchell, cost $50,000; fine driveways, excellent roads and a splendid surrounding country. On the north and west the Wisconsin River winds gracefully around the city. On the south and east the immediate country is somewhat broken. Prospect Hill, covered with pines and extending cape-like into Tomahawk Lake, is an extremely picturesque point in the surroundings. The lake and river is dotted with wooded islands, lending a charm to the landscape. The social life of the town is excellent, and of the best and most wholesome American type The commercial and manufacturing interests of the city have been built up chiefly on the lumber trade. But of late years the saw mills have been supplemented to some extent by the wood working establishments that employ a large force of men, and is one of the factors in the development of this section of the country. As the lands in all directions are being converted into farms, the new settler finds a ready income from the small timber remaining on the land that he can convert easily and quickly into ready cash. This is true to a great extent of all the unoccupied timber lands of the Valley. Much of this new land which formerly contained an excellent forest of basswood, hemlock and birch, can be bought at from five to ten dollars per acre, and there is no better soil in the state. And to these things we might add the fact, that within the near limits of the city is a very large horsepower of undeveloped water power, that within a radius of a few miles are some eight rivers and twenty lakes that will all do much in the years to come to add wealth to the city. There are also untouched hardwood forests of millions of feet almost within sight of the city. Tomahawk, with its excellent transportation facilities and its adjacent wealth of inexhaustible material, appeals to the homeseeker. Probably the most alluring promises comes from the unsubdued acres of rich dairy country that abound in every direction. The character of the men whom these lands have already attracted give assurance to the stranger that this will be the center of not only a manufacturing interest, but will develop into an excellent dairy and stock country in the near future.
