Of the board, but not perhaps to Mr.
Day. That gentleman was invited TO
explain why the logs were cut without
permission He stated that while in
Wisconsin he was informed by his
foreman that he had located the tim
Der in question and asked to look mp
the owners. Mr.. Day set about to do
this Immediately, but in the mean
time the logs were cut by his foreman.
Mr. Day stated that he had considera-
Bile difficulty in getting any word
from the.county officials for some time
and when he was notified the timber
had already been cut He was then
asked to present his own case in per

the same was read and accepted Mr..
Cameron stated that he estimated the
cut to be 100, 900 feet and placed a val

ing the trip to Crystal Falls amounted
to 500. rs. The board decided that a
bill should be presented to Mr. Day OF

There will be an election this spring
for county road commissioner 10 FIJI
the vacancy caused by the death Of
VIM. Parks. A Republican convention
will be called some time in March to
nominate candidate and the only as
pirant for the position that we have
heard of TO date is the gntleman who
was appointed by the board Of super
visois to fill the vacancy until the cleo
tion and who is now filling the position
very creditably to himself and accept
ably to the people Of the county. Mr.
Farley is stalwart Republican and
has been prominent in the councils Of
the party from the days away back
when he used to walk from Stager TO
attend conventions held in Crystal
Falls. He was defeated in his first
candidacy for county road ccmmiss-
Toner several years ago and yielded
gracefully to the will Of the party
He certainly deserves recognition
this time and we sincerely hope that
he will he the choice Of the Republic

FISHING IN THE YELLOWSTONE

should the person so doing attempt to
draw the fish out of the boiling spring,
the head would pull on the thoroughly
boiled and perfectly soft body, and he
would thus lose the fish.
The most wonderful phenomena OF this
sort IN the Yellowstone Park is one that
has thus far escaped those who are fond
of telling big fish yarns. mainly for the
reason that the locality lies outside the
beaten track of travel of visitors and
can only be reached after considerable
difficulty. At the point in question, a
stream OF clear, cold iwater flows through
the park, receiving in its course the scald-
