FOREST FIRES DORMANT
Condition a Serious One if
High Winds Prevail and
Dry Weather Continues.

People we'll versed in forest
fires state that the conditions
around Eagle River are indeed
serious as, although the fires Of
last week have quieted down,
still heavy wind will set them
travelling again and the destruct
ion of property and timber is
certain.
\ crew of men fought fire all
Monday night at the Otter rapids
dam, the fire having caught in a
pile of lumber. One mile west of
the Sundsten settlement a big
fire is smoldering and but awaits
a heavy wind. The Pickerel lake
region is in the same condition.
Villas county has a fire warden
and it is his duty to investigate
the situation and eliminate the
danger as much as possible, but
up to yesterday he had done
nothing. There should be some
thing done.
