would lend more dignity to the
position than is usually the case

IT is not so bad to turn down a
good man for some job in the
city that needs the best of ser
vice, because there are many
such men in Durham, but the
hurt comes when a good man is
turned down and a sorry one put
in his stead.

A BIT o NOTHIN'

Wiezorek, of the village of
Hackley and disciple of the gentle
Isaac, will be compelled to dl-
vide his trout honors with c. A.
Schrasch of the same town
which is located in Villas county
Wiezorek two years ago captur-
ed a 512-pound brook trout in
Twin creek right furninst the
saw mill Prior to that capture
by several days none knew that
the creek contained trout.
Schras sch, who was a tenderfoot
and a novice in the piscatorial
art, not knowing the difference
between a dog fish and lake
trout, secured a cane pole and
attached thereto a fish line OF
of unwarranted strength and
quality and began whipping the
pool near where the railroad
crosses the creek but few rods
from the lake. He hooked onto
something of undetermined
length but which assumed an
energy superior to that which he
possessed, and after scattering
Stag and sawdust over a half
acre of mill site was just about
to land his quarry when his pole
broke. The fish got away but
he had seen it very plainly and
spent no time lettering but told
the fellows in the store that he
had hooked a trout weighing
about four pounds. AS no fish
of that species had ever been
caught in the creek at this point
he was given the ha-ha and told
he had but hooked a red-horse
or sucker. He tried it again the
next day and landed one 3A
pound trout. Then the scoffers
all got busy and for the next few
DAYS whipped the stream to a
FRAGILE, securing several trout
weighing from half a pound to
three. Wiezorek a noted fisher
man from where trout fishing IS
supreme. waited until the hubbub
| had subsidized, sneaked alone to
the pool made famous by
Scharsch, and pulled out his
famous 51a FOUNDER. According
to Doe Pritchard, Wiezorek
should divide the honors with
Scharsch in bestowing upon him
the honor of the discovery of
said trout stream.

taking the oars. Say, if that fish
wasn't a whale. After ! tighten
ed up on the line he start ed with
the boat for deep water. Twice
he cut water and I'll wager he
weighed near 70 pounds. Each
time he jumped out of the water
the lake fell so fast the boat and
us was hung up two feet in the
air. Fact, Mr.. Klein Did | land
the fish? No. for this is a story
part of which Mrs. Thurston
will corroborate after cuttin' out
a few frills | always put in to
make a tale sound good and
smooth.

SEASON SHUT
Closed Sunday Evening at
Sundown--Forty-Two Days
of Rest For Fisherman
Thurston's Big Fish.

Closed season now for all game
fish until April 18th. AT that
time the brook, rainbow and
lake trout season opens. It's a
wait of forty-two days with no
chance of appeasing an appetite
for fish unless one sneaks off by
his lonesomeness cuts hole in
the ice-and be nabbed by the
game warden. But being as
how we Eagle River people are
all good, law abiding sports we
have laid away our tackle for
the aforementioned number of
days.
Still one might we say might J
be excused if he should snake out
a nice pike or pickerel upon the
ice, give it a we'll directed kick in
the Stats and then bag it for to-
morrow's dinner.
This puts us in mind of a fish
story Bob Thurston narrated,
with a whole lot of solemnity
thrown in, to John Klein and
the writer a week ago when
over-Sundaying with he and
Mrs. Thurston. Bob tells it this
wav:
MY wife and l were fshin' in
Horsehead lake near Harshaw-
we happened to live over in that
direction at the time-and had a
tenderfoot outfit; that is we
were in an old fiat bottom boat
and had a hand line trolling.
Nothin doin much so | was
hikin' ashore and had just got
nicely in the weeds with my old
scow when | heard a flop some
where's near the end of that line.
S'help me Jim, if a tail of a fish,
as broad as that cook stove is
long, didn't beat the air and then
disappear. Mrs. Thurston let
out a veil and | holler'd for her
to throw the line overheard till
l could get the darned old tup
out in deep water. On the end of
that line was a wrappin' paddle
and | changed seats with the
Missus and got hold of it, she

Total number of votes 1872

More than ordinary interest
was manifested in this election.
due to the fact that Eagle River
must either make use OF it's bust
ness bringing energies or else lose
from this time on all standing
as town with push. In the
loss of it's initial industry her
best hopes of surmounting the
difficulties IN securing indust1i les
wherein to utilize the 1900 horse
power lying practically idle at
the Otter Rapids dam, were gone
for time to come. But by the
giving of this bonus her future
would practically be assured.
And Eagle River cid noblv.
Her voters, after a period of de-
liberation, saw that an opening
towards the making of a better
village and town was p opituous
and voted right.
1t was a question fairly met.
Out of 1872 votes only 9 were
against.
While this vote does not APP
pear to be large, still it was but
70 votes less than were cast at
the general election held Novem-
Der 4th, at which time 241 votes
were polled in the town.
There has been several inquir-
les received lately from firms who
are seeking locations, asking
what the town of Eagle River
will do towards their coming
here, should they see fit SO to do.
Undoubtedly, if the voter sees
fit, he can aid in the securing of
other plants to locate in our con-
fines and they will put to use
the surplus power we have for
disposal
In conversation with Klein &
Van Nostrand the News reporter
was informed that their plant
will begin the manufacture of
deep sea floats within few days,
just as soon rs they can complete
the last die for the finishing of
that article. The floats. which
must go through six different
dies before completion, are now
being made complete with the
exception Of the last operation.
More machinery has been order
ed and skilled workmen will be
put to work upon its arrival.

Saturday.

The News is in receipt ola com
munication advancing the point
that Eagle River should give to
it's new industry a house warm
ing or a general celebration of
the advent of her entrance into
the manufacturing world.
The idea is a good one, and as
the contract between the town
of Eagle River and Klein & Van
Nostrand will be signed Satur
day, jolli6cation meeting of
this sort will not come amiss.
The communication reads:
Editor News:-What we should do
now or after that contract is duly
signed. is to hold a Publication meet
ing with speech making and other at
tachments necessary to celebrate the
near entrance Of Eagle River into the
sisterhood of manufacturing towns
with factory that promises to put
us on the map. At this meeting there
should be such of our public spirited
citizens as are able to get first to the
ticket window with the price, and
these should be fanked by all others
who are interested, to help listen to
the speeches and to aid in the applause
at the proper time.
And then there should be speech
by Judge Higgins and other orators
that may exist knownst or unbe
knownst amongst us.

Reliable information from the Der by mine is that n vein of ore four feet in thickness was uncovered there n few days ago. The find was made in the crosscut on the 300foot level at distance of eighty feet from the shaft. Drifting is now in progress on the paystrcak. The new find appears to be the continuation of a shoot open ed in the 100 foot level It is sul- phide ore carrying gold values. lt IS given out by those in close touch with operations at the mine that the recent discovery s larger and richer than the paystrcak in the upper level.
 The new discovery is the most i'm portani find made in this part of the county in many months, according to statements of miners who have seen it 1t proves that the ore bodies in tho mine increase in size and values with depth. which was always maintained by George Y. Young, general manager to whose energy and good judgment the development of the mine is due General Manager Young IS in the cas-
 at present. He will, beyond doubt, b'
 agrccaby surprised when he hears o
