The Coming Improvement
in Villas County.
COMMUNICATED. J


An occasional drive about the
country adjacent to Eagle River
cannot but convince the most
skeptical, first, that a good deal
of Improvement and new settle
ments are now going on, and
second, that the improved farms
are this year responding freely in
the most luXuriant crops. The
proposition thus becomes a plain
one, that 4 the actual merits OF
our section OF country were more
fully known there would be an
influx of population OF which no
one has ever dreamed.
In the first place it Is not in an
Out-of-the-way region. We are
the best supplied with railway
facilities of any county IN north
Wisconsin. The Northwestern
runs direct from Chicago clear
through the county into the iron
and copper regions of Michigan
above. The sameline runs north
westerly to Ashland. The Mil
waukee also runs from Chicago
well into the western part of the
county and It's further extension
into Michigan Is only a question
of short time. We thus have
-easy access to markets, have ear
" news of the outside world, IN
tact are right III The midst of the
best civilization. All this so far
rs location IS concerned must
give this region an attraction
wholly unknown to the remote
regions of Canada or even the
DakOtas.
1T Is amazing too, how luxur-
iantlv the modern ways of farm
ing produce all kinds of grains,
grasses, roots and fruits. No
such timothy and clover can be
1, und elsewhere. Thesmall fruit
crops now begin to astound the
older citizens, The region how
eVec is best adapted to stock and
DAIRY interests. The abundance
of lakes and streams furnish a
never failing supply of water and
aswavs at hand. Talk about ir-
rigatiOn, about the windmill and
the arteSian wells. Nature gives
them all TO us without a dollar
of expenditure. Indeed the push
ing farmer IN Villas county is to
be envied, for with every year
comes his good crops, and an as
.sured increase IN the value of his
farm.
The cut-over LANDS of north
Wisconsin are now attracting
great attention. An improved
farm of this character wa- lately
sold about u miles from Ash
land at 500 an acre. About the
same distance from Superior a
tract OF wholly uRcleared land
was lately sold at S25 an acre.
The purchasers were farmers
from Iowa and North Dakota.
They found upon examination
that lands of that character
would produce with greater
WELD and oel tainty thanin either
of those states.
There are to-day thousands
ekeing out a bare subsistence in
the large cities who would in a
very few years here become indie
pendent. For the man of small
means here Is the golden Oppor-
tuuitv Good lands can be had

and good markets at from eight
to fifteen dollars an acre, and OH

London. March 10-An extraordinary scene
disturbed the customary decorum OF the House
Of Lords this evening In recent debate in the
House Of Commons Premier Balfour had used
the word "calumny'' with reference TO some
statement made by Lord Rosebery in the fiscal
controversy When the House Of Lords met to-
day Lord Rosebery asked Lord Lansdowne. the
Foreign Secretary. what justification existed for
the Premicr's use of such a word.
Lord Lansiowne proceeded to explain the cir

subsequent withdrawal Of them. He admitted
the Premier had used the word in the heat Of

Premier but that he had consulted with Mr.
Balfour, who told him that ne did not desire to

PORT ARTHUR FIRST.
The Japanese to Capture 1t at
.IRU Cost.

Victoria. Il. G.. March 1O.-The Northern Pa
cifc liner Olympia arrived from Yokohama to-
day. Among her passengers was Captain Hill.
who brought the Japanese cruiser Nisshin from
Genoa To Yokohama. He gives a most interest
ing account Of the trip. which included race
with the Russian cruiser Aurora in the Red Sea
and the escape Of the Nisshiu and the Kasuga
from possible capture by the Russian squadron.
Captain Hin says that when the two japanese
cruisers got through the Suez Canal they wee
closely followed by the Russian squadron. which
was evidently trying hard 20 keep i'm close touch
with them. The Aurora. which enjoys the rep
utation OF being one Of the fastest vessels aioat
attempted TO overhaul the two cruisers which,
however. put on more steam and ran away from
her with the greatest ease. From the firing up
done on the Aurora IL was evident that she
meant business.
Captain hin had "a long conversation with
the japanese admrals when in Japan. and they
told him that the main object OF the japanese
operations at present was Port Arthur. They
were to capture that place at any cost and
were confident Of their ability 20 do So No
