The commissioners lost their point
ia the decision of the Supreme court
in the Dancy Drainage District case,
which was decided recently. but the
opinion as handed down by Judge
Silverthorn, does not defeat the pur-
pose entirely as believed by many.
The decision only refuses the applica-
tion of the commissioners to drain the
district into the Little Eau Pleine
river. We understand that new
scheme of drainage will now be de-
vised, that will accomplish the pur-
pose. without meeting with similar
objections.

We are pleased to see SO many of
our citizens taking pride in their
homes. The word ''home," next to
that of mother" is the greatest ever
uttered by human tongue. What
refuge the home is when the darkness
gathers! How glad one is to get
glimpse of home when time and space
have separated him from it if even
but for brief period! There seems
to be a good natured rivalry here in
an effort to make ''our home" look
a little heater and thus be the more
inviting to the occupants than all
others. Such rivalry is certainly
pardonable.

The new shed for the protection of
the farmers teams which was erected
by the business men of the east side
on the market square, is a large and
commodious structure, and has filled
a long felt want. No matter how in
clement the weather has been before
the farmers who were compelled to
come TO town to do their trading on
such days had to leave their teams
exposed. Days when the sun was
hottest the teams were compelled to
remain in the open. Now there are

went to Plover one day last week and
drove from there to the head waters
of Four Mile Creek carrying with
them their canoe. From there they
followed the creek a distance OF about
10 miles to it's mouth, which empties
into the Wisconsin river opposite the
Port Edwards mill. This trip was
unique in that it was made in two days,
entailed twenty-five hours of canoing;
and is the first time so FAR known,
that the trip has ever been made,
