Northern ', isconsin Lands.

Take rig and drive anywhere, in
any direction through northern Wis
consin, and you will find settlers 60
ing upon new lands, and opening
them up to cultivation. They are
building modest homes for their fam
ilies-the most of them being log.
Good barns and other buildings are
springing up, and it is not unusual
to find from ten to thirty acres under
cultivation upon these new places
that have only been occupied from
one to two years. Thousands and
thousands of new settlers from all
over the country are making their
homes on northern Wisconsin lands,
and there is general air of content
ment and prosperity among these
people that one would have doubted
could have existed a few years ago.
The new settler is placed in a posi-
ton that he can put his land onto a
paying basis right from the start. La
the winter season on the wood which
he hauls to markets, while clearing
his land, brings him a good profit,
while tue hay that he gathers from
the edge of marshes and throughout
the country gives plenty Of feed for
his stock. Corn has been a poor crop
this year, but the yield of vegetables
has been large, while grains and
grasses have thrived. There are so
many sources of income to the north
ern Wisconsin farmer that does not
come to those Of the older settled re-
gions that the results are more than
satisfactory. The northern Wiscon-
sin farmer makes his land support
him from the day he first goes on it,
and this more than is accomplished in
the older regions where a crop has to
be gathered before anything comes to
the treasury. The development OF
the country is going by bounds, and
the man who wants land will find
that the longer he waits the more eX-
pensive will it become.--W asnburn
Times.

closed down for the summer Thurs
day, after the largest seasons eut
since the mill has been in operation.
Mr.. Avery has men at work cleaning
up and getting in readiness for the
placing of the new palmer which the
Company will install. Our citizens
can, haul their logs to the mill and
take home the dressed lumber. The
new machine will fill long felt need,
and many of our settlers will no
doubt put in large number of logs
this winter.

A Good Trial of the Blaze Killer.

A Good Trial of the Blaze Killer.
Tuesday, evening the ''Blaze Killer
a harmless though destructive pow
der for blazing fire, was given a
most satisfactorily trial before large
crowd of citizens. A wooden box 10
feet high and feet wide was saturat-
ed with oil and set on fire, and after
the fire had gotten under way, Mr..
Kirk, who gave the test, threw hand
full of the ''Blaze Killer" and the blaz-
ing box went out at once. A large
number of tubes Of Blaze Killer was
bought by orr citizens and placed in
their business places and homes. We
understand that our Hose Carts are
equipped with the Blaze Killer.

BLAZE KILLER DONE THE WORK.

j. j. Roderick, Chief of the Hose
Company, was one Of the fortunate
citizens to purchase two tubes of the
Blaze Killer and he now feels we'll
satisfied for so doing. Saturday af~
ternoon while heating kettle of lin
seed oil on his stove in the barber
shop, the oil boiled over and set fire
to the shop. j. j. quickly threw some
of the ''Blaze Killer" onto the flames
and quickly extinguished it, thereby
saving him great expense, for a
nominal sum.

Hon. w. e. Brown, Republican NOM
inee for Congress.

Hon. w. E. Brown, Member of Con-
gress from this district, called on Re-
publicans in Eagle River Saturday.
Mr.. Brown expressed himself as well
pleased with the outlook for Repub bill
can success in this district on Nov. 4,
Mr.. Brown has represented this dis
trict in Congress for the past two
years and is entitled to a reelection
on his record. He entered upon the
discharge OF his duties with the same
zeal and energy that he has always
applied to his private business, which
accounts for his popularity through
this district.
MIR. Brown is in full accord with
the administration of President Roos-
welt under which we are enjoying an
unusual degree of prosperity. We
can not afford to experiment at this
time and take chances on returning to
the times of '93. Vote for w. Z.
Brown for mem Der of Congress and a

De Iesate Radciiffe's Apology.

Through the columns of the Review,
the new Democratic organ, Delegate
John Radcliffe makes a very gentle
manly (P) apology fol- boiling the re-
cent Republican County Convention.
He still insist that he is.a Republican
and instifes his conduct in boiling on
the grounds that he was not pleased
with the action Of the convention up
to the time that he retired, that he
always labored hard to please his en-
ployers and educate his family and
has always been a good nei@hbor.
Had the delegates assembled known
that they had among taem such an
est mable gentleman, they would
doubtless have appointed him a COM
mittee Of one to name the ticket.
Notwithstanding the ticket does
not meet with the approval Of Dele
gate John Radcliffe, the proceedings
of the convention show that, while
there was more than. one candidate
for several Of the offices, every nomi-
nation was unanimous The candi-
dates are all good men we'll qualified
for the positions to which they aspire
ana each town in the county is gwen
a fair representation on the ticket.
