WILL BUILD A CANAL!
A STOCK COMPANY ORGANIZED AT
THREE LAKES.
The Beautiful Eagle Chain of Lakes to
be Made NayIgabIe.
rom Wednesdays Free Press.

f
The Three Lakes Canal and
Transportation company which
was recently organized at Three
Lakes for the purpose OF building
a navigable canal between Maple
and Town Line lakes, of the Ea-
gle chain of lakes, will hold a
stockholders meeting within a
few days to discuss plans and take
steps to the consumatfon of the
project as early in the spring as
possible. Right of way $50 feet
wide and I,1oo feet long has been
obtained and i, is the intention of
the corporation to have the canal
completed and in operation by
the Goth of May.
A line of boats for freight and
passenger traffic will be placed on
the lakes and operated by this
corporation.
The celebrated Eagle chain of
lake. have within the past few
years come to be known as among
the foremost fishing grounds in
northern Wisconsin and thousands
of tourists annually visit the sum-
mer resorts on these waters in the
quest of rest, recreation, sport and
health. Their waters are well
stocked with all varieties of game
fish and each year sees marked
increase in the number of tourists.
AS yet the summer resort as
business enterprise in this section
is practically in its infancy but
with the inception of this enter
prise we can look forward to the
summer resort as one of the lead
ing sources of revenue.
The Eagle chain of lakes con-
sists of of twenty-eight lake which
have been divided by geographic
cal circumstance into two dis
tinct chains the upper and lower.
The upper chain of lakes, twenty
in number, is adjacent to the vii
lage Of Three Lakes and by the
building of this canal will be nav
igable to within three blocks of
the c. & N. w. Ky at that place.
The lower chain is comprised
of eight lakes and is directly ada
cent TO this city. The two chains
are connected by the Eagle River,
commonly called Long Lake
thorougfare, which, however, by
reason of riffs and dam is not
passible even tor small row boats.
1t is understood that one of the
plans of the Three Lakes company
is to improve the thoroughfare be-
tween the two chains by means OF
a canal and by deepening and
widening the present channel,
thus making the entire chain nav
igable for distance of 80 or 40
miles.
Considerable OF the stock has
been subscribed by citizens Of this
place who are very enthusiastic
over the project, 1t means much
to the people of this section If it
is carried through to successful
termination. BY reason OF our
natural resources we must look to
the summer tourist for much OF
our revenue and every movement
taken to attract him here will add
materially to the conditions OF the
community at large as well as to
the individual benef. OF the sum-
mer resort owners.

GAME PROTECTIVE
LAWS PROPOSED

The State Game 4 Fish Protective as
sociation has asked the county game war
dens to lend their assistance in preserving
the elk in the Olympic range. Accompany
ing the petition sent to County Game
Warden W. w. Thompson is circular let
ter, which states that the association de-
sires the cooperation of the citizens in
making the Olympic forest reserve a, game
preserve. A bill to that effect is now be-
fore congress. The association proposes to
go further in its attempt to preserve the
game and will take the matter up with the
members Of congress from this state in an
endeavor to make the entire forest reserve
a game preserve.
Steps will be taken by the State Pro-
tective association to have the legislature
revise the game law, and especially the
license law. The people generally seem to
favor both county and state license, the
former permitting the hunter to hunt in
his own county only and the latter to
admit of hunting anywhere in the state.
Another law likely to be proposed will
be one restricting the use Of Winchester
or magazine shotguns in hunting land or
sea fowl.

PROPERTY HOLDERS FAVOR ASPHALT

Pacific avenue may be paved with as
phalt, as many Of the property owners are
urging the commissioner Of public works to
consider only bids which specify the use
OF that material. The award viii be made
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the
commissioner will be guided in his choice
to certain extent by the voice OF the
people
The lowest asphalt bid was made by the
Barber Asphalt Paving company, S46,500,
and the lowest FIR block bid was made by
James Lee, $2S,g73.
After two hours' discussion by the Pa
cifie avenue property owners in regard
to the kinds of pavement this morning at
their meeting in the city council chamber
vote was taken. Each property owner
was allowed one vote for each lot repre-.
sented. The result Of the vote stood 81
in favor of asphalt pavement, against 81
for fir blocks.
There are about $50 lots in the local i'm.
provement district, and only 1856 were
represented at this mornings meeting. The
remainder of the property owners have
not as yet expressed their sentiments, but
the majority of those present were clearly
in. favor of asphalt.
Some months ago special committee of
the city council was appointed to investi-
gate the various kinds Of pavement, and
the report of this committee was read to
the business men this morning II recon-
mended the use of asphalt.

proved concMsively that they are not.

for street payements, but II must be Of the.
best quality.
Contractors cannot be expected to fur
nish the best quality II their accepted bids
do not call for It.
The Times advocatea the use Of asphalt
on Pacific avenue, but at the same time
II calls attention to the necessity for
bids making the use Of the best grade Of
material compulsory.

The committee has carried on corre.
spondence with the leading cities Of the
world. Statistics from eight OF the prin-
cipal cities Of the United States show that
asphalt is gaining in popularity. 1t haa

gained l49 miles and wood has not been
used to any great extent.

George Bolts favored the acceptance Of
Lees bid for untreated fir blocks at q
cost Of $28,973. In addressing the CON-
missioner. he said: This ia the tenth
year for the blocks now on the avenue. and
when we take into consideration the cost
we can relay them again in six years, and
not spend over 90 per cent OF the asphalt
pavement figure, including interest on the
bonds.
when we are In Rome, let us do as the
Romans do, but when in the timber belt,
let us use the blocks" Continuing further.
he said, "Can we, gentlemen, expect other
people to use fir blocks when we will not
adopt them for our own streets?~
But even with such able championship
the fir block advocates could muster only
34 votes.
