The enthusiasm manifested at pre-

reason of its undeyeloped natural re-
sources, one of the best possible fields
for the investment of capital. The mat

Meeting the cities and towns of the
valley from Port Edwards to Eagle
River was again discussed and it was
evident that good deal of quiet invest
igation as to the feasibility of the pro-
ject has been going on and evidently
with favorable results. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that enterprise will soon assume
definite shape.
The appointment of the committees
consumed much of the time of the meet
ing, and it is evident from their make
up that good work will be done. 1t
was decided to at once begin the col
lection of information by the various
committees and the different counties
and localities are requested to forward
to the secretary in available shape, de-
finite statements of facts showing the
particular resources of each section.
This is an important matter and it is
desirable that each locality take it up
as early as practicable.
A large amount of correspondence
was reported by the secretary and pres
ident, and the meeting adjourned with
the Wisconsin Valley Advancement As
ISOLATION in excellent shape to begin
practical work toward the accomplish
