Peculiar train wreck up ham to the rescue
A freight wreck at the Omaha line damaged the depot office and waiting room, derailed four cars, and delayed traffic. Operator Roy Bigger and A B Crawford were seriously injured, with Crawford severing an artery in his wrist. The depot is a complete loss, a new factory plan by Maj Upham aims to restore Marshfield’s economy, and local merchants back buying the Banner Mills to supply work. A stock-subscription drive will be organized to fund the Mills and Upham veneer plant, with real estate owners urged to participate.

Roddis plant to Park Falls may shift Marshfield loss
The Roddis Lumber and Veneer Co may relocate its planned veneer plant from Marshfield to Park Falls consolidating a saw mill and veneer operations. Owner W H Roddis, after inspection, said if conditions meet expectations there he will begin construction but cites distance from timber supply and rail access as a reason. The city faces job losses, real estate depreciation, and a stagnated economy without a replacement project. Citizens are urged to act promptly to find an equivalent employer to protect employment.
