The hunting season is over so far as
most of our h1ntsmen are concerned,
as they have got their deer and return
ed home. The last day of the season is
next Tuesday. 1t would be almost as
easy to enumerate the ones who were
unsuccessful as to name all who got
theirs. Although it is probably fact
that less deer are being killed
this year than formerly, the number
killed are more evenly distributed.
There are not nearly so many hunters
from outside the county in the woods
hereabouts as in former years, owing
no doubt to the fact that they are now
limited to one deer each. The wealth
er, which has not been the most favor
able, is gradually growing worse for
the hunters, the snow having disap-
peared, leaving the roads muddy.

NEW SYSTEM FOR
COUNTRY SCHOOLS
Special Committee on Education Con-
sideFing 1iIl for County Board
of Education

The special committee of the Wiscon-
sin legislature on education will hold
sessions on December End, Srd and 4th
in Milwaukee during the National In
dustrial Educational convention. The
meetings will be held morning and even
ing in the directors room of the auditor
fum on the second floor. At any time
bill for the creation of county board
of education for each county in the
state will be considered. The commit
tee cordially invites all persons interest
ed for or against the bill to appear and
discuss it. At that time also other sug-
gestions for the Improvement of educa
tional conditions in Wisconsin will be
welcomed.
The county board plan is designed to
give the rural schools more effective
supervision, something that is greatly
needed In brief it provides for coun-
ty board of education to consist of five
members. One of these members is to
be the chairman of the county board
and the other four are to be elected at
the spring election. They are to be
non-salaried, will elect the county sup
erintendent for two years, appoint as
sistant superintendents and board of
examiners for county school diplomas.
The bill also provides that the members
of the board must visit and inspect the
rural schools regularly. Copies of the
bill will be mailed to anyone who will
write the undersigned.
The committee recently concluded a
series of meetings in Milwaukee held
at the same time as the convention of
the Wisconsin Teachers Association.
Great interest was manifested by the
educators of the state in the work of
the committee. The committee now
seeks the cooperation of the people as
the educators of the state and desires
that every measure considered be given
the widest publicity. There is a great
work to be done for education in Wis
consin and for the rural schools especi
ally and the committee believes that
when people understand conditions that
they will heartily and patriotically sup
port the efforts in this direction.
ED. W. Leroy,
Marinette, Wis. Vice Chairman.

Thanksgiving Day

While most of our people felt that
they had cause to be thankful for the
blessings of the past year, the weather
was not conducive to buoyant spirits,
being cloudy and damp. The ice on the
lake, which is about six inches thick,
is covered with water, so that the young
folks had to forego their usual Thanks
giving skating. The weather did not
hinder the usual family reunions, how
ever, and the accompanying bounteous
dinners.
The ladies of the Church Of Christ
served dinner and supper in the Dodson
building and their efforts were reward
ed by an increase of about $50 in their
treasury.
In the evening union services were
held at the Baptist church, where Rev.
R. E. Stevens preached an inspiring
sermon to a large congregation.

500 Road 10 Boom North WISCONSIN,

The 500 railways land department
has completed plans for campaign to
bring settlers into the cut-over lands OF
northern Wisconsin. By next year it
is expected that settlers will begin to
move into this section in large num-
bers.
According to 500 officials they intend
to turn the tide of emigrants from the
Canadian northwest to the northern
part of Wisconsin One of the things
that causes the 500 people to be san
guine of their success along this line is
the splendid crops that this section OF
the state has been harvesting the last
few years when in other sections the
crops were more or less failures. SD

Has Confidence in Ladysmith

L. Jorgenson and family left Wednes-
day for Fairmont, Nebr., where he will
assist in starting a new bank. Mr..
Jorgenson states that his faith in the
future of Ladysmith is mistaken and
that he will return to resume his duties
in the Ladysmith National Bank in
about a year. Since starting in busi-
ness here four years ago the institution
of which he is president has built up
large business, as will be seen by the
report published on the first page of
this issue. The city and surrounding
country has developed correspondingly
during that period and indications are
that the next four years will witness
even greater development.

The Firemen's Ball

The fifth annual ball of the Lady

sic. Dancing began about 9 p. m and
continued until IL, when halt was
called for supper, which Geo. Kilgore
served and it didn't fall below his usual
standard, either. About 1890 dancing
was resumed, which occupied the two
remaining hours. Several fremen put
in an appearance, resplendent in their
uniforms, but there should have been
several more.
The ball was both a financial and a
social success, the fire laddies having

came the dash for the pole when he
pierced the far north to point which
his instruments registered as 81 de-
grees minutes latitude and the forty
ninth meridian Of west longitude. This
point was reached on April q, 1906,
three years to day before the one OH
which Cook said he touched the pole.
The Journey was made with remarka-

Moss to the eighty-fourth parallel was
made In virtually q straight line. At
84 degrees SO minutes the expedition
ran into an open lane Of water two
miles wide and was held up six days

return and reload when a wind sprang
up and opened the lane again. As the
bulk OF the provisions were on the
south side. the expedition was forced
to proceed without them. It was heart
breaking, but a longer delay meant
certain failure.

course. From that point until the lah.

weather conditions were of the best.
Then suddenly bad storm sprang up,
and Peary and his companions were
forced into camp. There in a driving
storm Of ice and snow all hands re-
mained idle for six days. The Ice on
which the party was camped drifted
to the east nearly seventy miles dur
ing the storm. and upon taking obser-
vations after the wind had gone down
Peary found himself at the forty-ninth
meridian.
Provisions now ran low, and the al
lowances were shortened. Weaker
dogs were fed to their stronger broth
ers. and by exerting themselves to the
utmost the explorers were able to
make fair Roadway. The lanes Of wa
ter were increasing constantly, how-
ever, and the hummocks grew larger
and larger, On April 81 he called the
final halt in his advance.
Even should he reach. the pole, he
knew that he would never return safe
~ to the mainland. Turning, the expe-
dition headed for Cape Norris Jesup
after putting up a flag ut the point
farthest north. The chance discovery
of several musk oxen alone saved the
party from starvation. Once, too, the
explorer and his Eskimos were nearly
drowned in crossing lane covered
with thin ice. It was at the eighty
fourth parallel that Peary came upon
an unusually wide lane, and while
camped waiting for chance to cross
the ice upon which the party was
gathered separated from the main foe
and drifted away for five days. A cold
snap cemented it to the main body

moment to break beneath them the

Careful Preparation Possible

OR weeks the scientific world
had waited breathlessly, hoping
u daily to hear from Peary. He.
like Cook, was overdue, having been
away from his permanent base longer
than was anticipated, and, like. Cook,
he pushed onward with dogs and Ns-
kimos.
His great determination and init
mate knowledge Of polar conditions
were looked upon-,a his chief assets
in his advance on the pole.
1t is admitted that freak of ma
ture alone prevented his reaching the
boreal center on his last previous at
tempt.
Peary planned to make his dash in
the summer months, while DR.. Cook
advanced in the late winter. He made
his dash upon the same general theory
which he advanced upon the occasion
Of his first attempt. This was SIM
pie and set plan to keep on trying
along the same line until success or
death was met. Peary figured that
each attempt put him nearer to the
pole and that he learned more and
more about the general conditions
along his course at each effort, and
should he adopt new route all this
knowledge would be lost With each
trip bringing him nearer and nearer
to his goal. those interested In arctic
exploration felt certain that success
would meet the naval commander in
this, his supreme effort.
The American Route.
The general route lay up through
Baffn's bay, Smiths sound, Kenne-
dy's channel and Robeson's channel
into Mares sea. In 1894-93 he nearly
reached the seventy-eighth parallel, on
the west Greenland coast. In 1S9S-99
he turned back only after reaching
land close to the eightieth parallel, on
the east coast Of Ellsmere Land. In
1900 he took the east coast of Grin
nell Land and reached the eighty-sec-
ond parallel The northern coast Of
Grinnell Land was skirted in 19O5-06,
and winter quarters were made at
Cape Sheridan, Grant Land. He
moved past Cape Hecla on the west
