Development Of Northern Wisconsin,
H. s. Farra Staff Correspondent for the Superior Evening
Telegram Writing from Iron River Says in His Paper:

The development of Northern Wis
consin is a most interesting study.
This is particularly true of the rural
districts. Tie Evening Telegram
daily notes the arrived of new settlers,
the opening up of farms, the erection
OF buildings and other evidences of
prosperity in Douglas and surround
ing counties. This growth among
the farmers has hao beneficial effect
upon the cities, towns and villages
that have sprung up within few
years and that from now on must
largely depend upon the farms for
their support.
In all such centers of population
this new year opened with that
slackness in business that is gener-
al Throughout the country, but the
indications are that the condition
that lessons activity in commercial
and other lines will stimulate agri
culture. Experience has shown
that when there is tendency toward
hard times, mother earth, that can
always be depended upon for living
aud much more, is resorted to with
the result that an unusual mum Der
of people 90 to farming.
The Four Lake Counties.
In the four counties in the north
ern most part of Wisconsin-Doug-
las, Bayfield,, Ashland and Iron-all
indication points to development
during the next few years that will
eclipse the record of the past, re-
margable as it has been. These four
counties border on Lake Superior and
stretch across the state from Minne-
sofa to Michigan. In area and re-
sources they constitute an empire
as it we're, having within their
border over four thousand five humid
red square miles and containing very
nearly three million acres. This is a
territory nearly as large as Connecti-
cut, where a million people live, while
in point of cultivatable lands it far ex-
ceeds Massachusetts or New Jersey.
In these four counties when Uncle
Sam counted noses in his family, in
1873, ne found only 2,878 people. In
1900 he found here n, 063, There was

vanced from 664 people to IA, 1872, ard
built up the cities of Iron River,

chief town Hurley, is known far and
wide.
Paid For Itself in Pine.
During the comparatively few
wears chat have elapsed the great in
crease in population in these "big
four" lake counties has not been the
only striking feature in the way Of
development. The lumbermen have
worked a transformation. The heavy
pine forests that covered the ground
have disappeared almost entirely,

having afforded an industry whose
extent. in feet of lumber cut and
dollars realized would, if expressed
in figures, be stupendous. | asked
an experienced lumberman today
what he estimated the average
money yiel5 per acre of the timber
that had been taken from the coun
ties alluded to, and he said: ''at least
fifty dollars" This would mean that
about one hundred and fifty million
dollars have been taken from the
land in Douglas, Bayfield,, Ashland
and Iron counties. Pretty good
showing, is it not, especially when
the land is still here to earn in the
future more than it ever did in the
past as an unbroken forest.
Now How Many Farms.
Land that has yielded fifty dollars
an acre has, as it were, paid for it.
SELF" but let us see what these lake
counties have been doing in other
directions. i LAUNDERING has monopo-
lied nearly every activity, and yet
up to three years ago-the last
official figures, our four lake coun-
ties had 1924 farms, embracing ISL,
$50 acres of which 20, 1877 were under
cultivation. The owners of these
farms, who "butted in" wherever
logging operations would permit,
had buildings that we're worth. re-
fering to the last census, 1851, 040,
implements and machinery valued
at 1913, 800 and live stock worth 1896
$780,. Here was in round numbers a
million dollars that these pioneer
farmers had to show for their work
in opening up the new country.
But they had more. On their farms
they raised products, valued at over
half a million dollars and with
good soil, the best and plenty of
water, abundance of fuel, healthy
climate, and of greater Importance,
an unrival.ed market at their very
door. they increase in prosperity
and little feel any of the tremors that
come now and then to the CONNER.
cial world.
After the Mills, What?
In all the country wide there are
no better opportunities offered to the
homeseeker who, is willing to work
for a home, than are today presented
in Northern Wisconsin. Here are
untouched acres aggregating more
than million where settlers can do
as well, if not better than the
pioneers above referred to. Tt will
be good thing for such new people
if they shall come-it is indispensable
to the people already here that they
do come. An increase in rural popu-
lation means better roads, more
schools and churches and greater
social opportunities. 1t means sup
port for the cities and towns that is
most essential now that the lumber
industry is on the wane. when the
mill goes, what them" is the ques-
tion that is pulling the towns. The
answer is "the farmer" II the
several counties interested would
bestir themselves they could devise
ways and means to draw hundreds
of settlers into this section. The
time is ripe for it. The development
~ the four lake counties under spec
ial consideration in these sketches
are examples of what has been going
on all over this Badger northland,
and an indication of what can be
done in the future.

general, responding without regard to
creed, we feel that the public will 81

work as to come forward and take at
least one ticket for the Herbert Glib

to preach the Baccalaureate sermon
