EARLY FOR CREAMERY
Promoters Decide Another
Year Will Be More Favor
able--Not Enough Grazing
ut Present.

Representatives of the Platte
vile Creamery company, Messrs
/ Fred Krog and F. O. Urhling,
who spent several days thelatter
part of last week interviewing
farmers regarding the building
of a creamery. left Monday hav-
ing come to the conclusion that
at present conditions are such
that a creamery could not be put
in active operation for another
year at least.
Through the labors of ]. OAR
ling and the Eagle River Advance
ment association the gentlemen
from Platteville were induced to
look over this territory prepara-
tory to building a creamery.
They were thoroughly satisfied
that creamery will be paying
investment little later, but not
until the farmers clear more land
for grazing purposes.
In conversation with a News
reporter Mr.. Krog said:
Il am very much pleased with
the existing conditions in the es-
tablishing of a creamery in Eagle
River at a date not far distant,
and we intend to return next
year and spend more time among
the dairymen of your district. L
find the farmers of your county
are extremely progressive for a
new country and they are all
anxious to see creamery built.
Zone thing, though, the dairy
men must put in more mich
cows and try and build up to a
milk producing strain. 1t will
be to their everlasting benefit if
they do so. We will, without a
doubt put in creamery here, for
after we once determine a field of
operation will be productive we
push for all we are worth and
never have we made failure of
any project we have started.
Just keep your farmers in mind
of the fact that if they do their
part we will more than meet
them half way.
ct might be well to add that
if they will all meet together this
winter and determine just what
they will be athletic do as regards
keeping a herd of mixers that
will be profit producers from the
start, it will greatly facilitate
matters when we return"

A BUNCH OF CUTTERS
Minocqua Foot Ball Team
Rather Than Suffer Defeat
Quit the Field Before First
Half Was Played.

The. exhibition of foot ball be
tween Minocqua's high p schoo
team and the Eagle River clever
last Saturday was of the kline
that puts a damper on the spirits
of a foot ball enthusiast. Not
that Eagle River failed in any
stage to play the game as it
should be, or be ungentlemanly
towards the visitors, but it was
the actions of Minocqua's bunch
from the start up to within seven
minutes of the finish Of the first
half when they left the field.
1t was Minocqua's ball at
the start and a touchdown was
made after FIVE minutes play,
but they failed to kick goal. It
looked like hard fought game,
but Eagle River bucked up and
from that time on was in the
visitors field continuously. A
touch down by Eagle River and
a true kick to goal was made,
Minocqua then claiming CATER
goal was kicked) that the FIVE
yard limit was overlooked when
the forward pass was made
previous to the touchdown. The
referee stood for the touchdown
giving out the score as 5 to 6 in
favor of Eagle River. Minocqua
punched and walked off the field,
knowing that they were out
classed and defeat was certain.
AS near as can be summed up
withjustice to all, the Minocqua's
are foul PLAYERS and while carry
ing eight ringers in a team of
eleven men, claim to be
strictly high school" team.
Take for instance: One player is
% years old, bald headed at that
and is a bartender; another one
is % years old and is a guide,
and two more are teaching
school four and FIVE miles from
Minocqua. The rest of the ring
ers are-ringers pure and simple.
The bunch came over here Fri
dav night and Saturday morn
ing and chose their own hotel
regardless Of the orders of the
Eagle River team, who had Ell
gagged good quarters for them,
making double expense for the
home team-or a two days. board
bill. To illustrate. Our second
base ball team went to Minocqua
this summer to cross bats with
practically this same bunch.
Minocqua gave them dinner and
supper and ordered them home.
Being late, Landlord Madden
gave them their beds gratis and
only charged for breakfast He
was a gentleman.
In plain unvarhished language
the majority of the Minocqua
bunch here Saturday are four
fiushers and noted for their dirty
work by every team they have
PLAYED with. Rhinelander will
not play them and Eagle River
has wiped them off the slate.
Teams who have dates with
them are warned to look out as
they are not what one would
term a gentlemanly team OF foot
ballists.
The game was gwen Eagle
River 1 to O. Some snappy plays
were made by the hemeboyssind
their clean work is appreciated.
