GREAT RESORT REGION.
Northern Wisconsin Lakes VIII At
tract Mary Visitors From Abroad.

Milwaukee Sentinel;
II have just returned from an ex-
tended trip through the lake region
of Wisconsin, . said prominent Mil
waukee business man at PlankintOn
yesterday. i have long had de-
sire to own a cottage location on some
one of the many beautiful lakes to be
found in the northern portion of the
state, and apprehended that such a
place would not be difficult to find.
In looking over the ground, however,
with hundreds of sites TO select from.
| must admit that | came away With
out making a purchase. The difficult
ty to contend with was in picking out
a particular spot among the hundreds
of places that are suitable.
The opportunity OF gaining a sum-
mer nome it seems to me should be
taken advantage of more than it is.
With our hundreds OF lakes and miles
of forest shore line, the people of this
city do not appear to reliaze that the
TIME when they can secure cottage
sites for mere song is rapidly pass
ing. There are places, yes, any NUM-
Der of them, whore forty acres can be
purchased for an acreage price that is
a mere bagatelle considering the To-
cation, and l am sure that purchases
would follow if the facts were made
known.
ITO my mind it is only question
of few years when summer homes
will line most of the lakes in mort hern
Wisconsin. That section adjacent to
the Northwestern, the Milwaukee,
and Wisconsin Central railways is
well known to every lover OF fishing
and hunting, almost. in the state, and
a number OF visitors are purchasing
locations"

thoroughly using just enough water

RUBBER.
Making it From Rab.
bit Brush in
Colorado.

Some years ago Thomas Edison,
while in this country, remarked that
God never made anything in nature
that was not of use, and he believed
that the vast tracts of sagebrush in Ne
vada would some day be turned into
great commercial value.
In this connection the following dis
patch from Denver is of interest. 1t is
taken from the New York Times:
The first carload of "Actinella Rich
ardsonanan unsightly ssgebrush which
covers thousands of acres of noun
famous country in Southern Colorado,
was delivered today to the Western
Rubber Company recently incorpor-
ated, and which expects to revolu-
tionize the rubber industry.
1t was discovered not long ago that
the supposed useless rabbit brush
which covers the mountains at an alti-
tude of 1000 to 5000 feet, contained
Is per cent comm ercial rubber.
A prospector lost in the hills first
discovered the rubber substance by
chewing the root to sustain life. His
discovery was brought to the know
ledge of Chicago chemist, and the
Western Rubber Company was the
result.
A dozen men are now engaged on
the hills about Salida collecting the
brush of which millions of tons are in
sight. Rubber that has stood all the
tests of the tropical product has been
manufactured on small scale and the
organizers of the Western Rubber
Company announce that they are pre-
pairing to install large factory.
There is good deal of meat in thu
above aud if their experiment is sue
cessful, it means the Inauguration of 9
big rubber enterprise in Nevada. We
have enough material here to make
rubber for the world. Rubber is in
creasng in value of late owing to the
great scarcity of the article.
Sagebrush also produces the best
tannin oil in the world and the two
manufacturing enterprises could easily
be combined.

WARNING TO
HOMESTEADERS

The following letter from l.. II
Taylor, engineer in charge of the L. s.
Reclamation Service, to the Reno
Journal warns intending homesteader.
not to give their good coin to parties
who claim to have information to sell
regarding the lands to be watered by
the government canal now under con-
struction:
1t having come to my knowledge
that various parties are presuming to
furnish information to intending set
tiers upon the lands to be watered by
the government canal now under CEN
struction for consideration, and at
least one such party is advertising in
the Nevada State Journal that he is
prepared to furnish "maps, plats, and
instructions" ! desire 10 notify all
interested that no such person out
side the officers of the United States
Reclamation Service know what lands
will be irrigated by the said canal, and
that even their knowledge is not yet
definite. In the meantime all in
formation that can be given out will
be furnished absolutely free TO anyone
calling at the Office of the Z. S. Rec
lamation Service in the Clough & Cros-
by Building, 10 East Second Street
Reno, Nevada.
! desire to say further that those
parties who are proposing to furnish
Information or to locate homesteaders
upon land which will be irrigated by
the government canal, making
charge therefore, have no knowledge
or information that will be of any value
TO intending settlers at this time; that
their purpose is simply to try to make
money out of the homeseekers who
will surely need all their surplus money
to aid in the establishment of their
homes; that so soon as the lateral ir-
rigation canals are located, and the
lands to be irrigated are thereby de-
fined, classified and subdivIded, when
the limit of the homestead entry and
the price for which the water will be
furnished have been fixed by the Secre-
tary of the Interior, then only will it
be safe to file homesteads on the land,
and the government officials will then
be prepared to furnish to homesteaders
without charges all necessary ia
formation.
