Don't be q Clam.

The following article taken from
the Florence Mining News, hits the
nail squarely upon the head. And
yet some people wonder why the Ed
itOrs don't get out better paper;
mine times in ten, one may en-
trust condolences more safely to a
newspaper man than any one else.
First of all you should know your
man. And if you are engaged in any
thing likely to attract attention, it is
your business to know your man.
Therein rests the key to the situation
in controlling newspaper publicity.
After you have made sure that your
man is thoroughly professional and a
respecter of the eteics which govern
newspaper work, make n confident of
him. Tell him as much of your plans
as you consistently con, and then tell
him how much to say. You will
make friend and the chances are n
hundred to one that you Will have the
subject handled just about as you
would like it. He will be satisfied
and he will not be giving away any
secrets. But do not try TO shut off
all information. The public wants it
and the newspapers will have, by
some means or another. Give the
newspapers some information, and
you will know just about what is go
ing to appear. But try and shut off
all information and turn a deaf ear
to all inquiry, and there isn't a chance
in your favor. The newspapers are
going to have the news. Ii they can
not get it through the proper chan
nels they will get it by some other
means"

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Citizens and Patrons of the
Eagle River High School,
GREETING:

GREETING:
For some time the wide awake citi-
zens of Eagle River have felt keenly
the need of a good High School.
While the so called Graded School
may do some good work and has it's
place, vet it cannot do the work of
the High School. In our case, the
work in English was almost wanting
until last year, hut the greater weak
ness was that the course carried no
weighr for pupils who had completed
it and were going out either to teach
or to enter higher school.
Believing that High School could
be organized and maintained, began
to prepare pupils for the entrance ex-
animation which was successfully
held in June 1908. The hearty CO.
operation of the Board of Education
and citizens secured the unanimous
vote for the organization. and the
State Superintendent granted the
Charter.
One of the advantages of n High
School is its well planned and COM
plete course of study. This course,
outlined by the Principal and State
Superintendent. when authorized by
the latter and adopted by the Board
of Education, stands as LAW till al
tered by the same authority. And
this course must be adhered to in a
we'll organized school.
We are pleased to offer both the
English and German four yea courses,
one of which pupils are expected to
select and follow. Students are re-
quested to keep copy of the course
for reference and plan their work 50
as to complete course.
The logical arrangement of the work
i'm the course makes it difficult To dc
satisfactory work IN any branch uneil
the work of the preceding years has
been completed. In order for the pu-
pill to do special work in any part OF
the course, he must be recommended
by the instructors and the question
carried by a vote of the board of Ed
ucation.
No pupil will be allowed to carry
more than four studies unless by
special permission of the Principal
when the previous standings warrant
success in the fifth study.
Respectfully,
WM. ID. FULLER.
Principal :

Northern Wisconsin.

In Northern Wisconsin there are
many excellent opportunities for farm
homes. Here the soil is good and
heavy, fuel is cheap, there are many
springs and streams and no billiards
or droughts. This part of the state
is mostly free from sand or pine
stumps and it is bound to be one of
the best dairy sections in the north
west. 1t is near to the best northern
markets and there are no crop fail
ures. There is no better land for
corn, oats, wheat. rye, potatoes, to-
bacco or hay.
There is no place in Wisconsin
where grasses grow more luXuriantly
than in the northern pant of the state.
Mort hern Wisconsin will, in the flu
ture, be a natural grazing country,
and will ship out large numbers of
of grass fattened cattle. The COM
mon farm cereals do well on the soils,
which vary rs they do in all localities.
The value af corn sorgum and millet
have already become known and some
farmers profit by raising them for
they yield large quantities of fodder
per acre. With such markets rs Min
neapolis, ST. Paul. Superior and Du-
luth, and with good railroad cOnnec-
tions for southern cities, the farm
produce easily meets with good prices.

part OF Tung Flu Sang, although 1t char

The Foreign ONCE says the viceroys Of

OF his undertaking a rebellion.

CLAIMS OF STRIKE BREAKERS
Bring suits AEEreEatinE Over n MIL
lion Against Coal Companies,
Alleging Misrepresentation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Suits have been
brought by the twenty-five residents Of
this city who claim that during the recent
coal strike they were decoyed to the mines
in Pennsylvania by agents of the Erie
Railroad company and of the Pennsylvania
Coal company. Damages for $50 900 each,
amounting to 81, 100 900 in all. are sued for,
and the attorney for the plaintiffs con-
suited with an assistant district attorney
today about bringing the matter before the
grand jury to be sworn in next Monday.
The plaintiffs claim that under pretense OF
doing work for the railroad and coal COM
pany they were decoyed to Hoboken, where
they were locked in a car and carried
against their will to the coal regions OF
Pennsylvania and compelled to act as
strike breakers under threats OF "belne
turned over to the fury of the miners.
The men say they finally succeeded in
making their way back to the city, but de-
clare that on their way home they had
narrow escapes from being mobbed. An
official OF the Erie road said that no COM
plant had been served as yet on the COM
pany. He added that the company was
without information as to the cause Of
action, that he was confident that the Erie
company and the constituent company, the
Pennsylvania Coal company, had done
nothing unlawful and he had no doubt thai
the companies would be able to success
fully defend any cults that might bC
brought against them.
