RAIN STOPS BIG FIRES
Almost Entire Country in
Grasp of Fires--Many Mar
row Escapes in Property

The thirty=hour rain. which
started Monday afternoon, has
stopped all danger from forest
fires which were becoming more
numerous every day as the
drouthcontinued.
The absence of rain this spring
made everything as dry as tin,
der and only needed but a spark
to set going a FIRE of great mag.
nitude.
1t might be said that almost
every FIRE started within the past
two weeks was by some one
who cared not rap whether his
neighbours property or timber
was destroyed, just so he could
clean up piles of brush which
might just as well remain un-
burned uutil it was safe to start
a fire going. A few arrests bv
the fire warden, who has the
authority. would undoubtedly
put a stop to promiscuous start
ing of fires when it endangers
every one within a radius OF
miles. From the number of fires
started near here the past two
weeks, one would assume that
the fire warden could score a
number of convictions and it
should be done in justice to those
who have suffered loss through
the carelessness of others.
In every direction from Eagle
River, one would run across for
est fires. A fire from Found lake
In town of Pennington swept
around the east bay of Little
st German, and but for back
firing, the farm buildings of Geo.
Jackson would have been con-
sumed.
Sunday fire destroyed the
buildings on the Todd farm at
the foot of Otter rapids and
burned the household effects of a
settler who had moved in but a
few days prior.
Stevens old camps on L. ].
Cooks place near Boot lake were
burned out with the exception of
one hunting shack.
At one time Sunday it We S
thought fire would destroy D. E.
Riordan's summer home on Cat
FISH. The Grand View resort
also had a narrow escape Wed
nesday last,
A couple of big fires burning
near Croker's. Tooley's, Marcos,
Boldt' S. Morrison s andLaMere's
kept a crew of men busy Friday
and Saturday, but no damage
except to timber resulted.
Several small fires which start
ed near the Deerskin were put
out before any damage was done.

CARRY OFF LAURELS
Debaters From Eagle River
Win at Tomahawk---Sub-
ject, "WomAn Suffrage"

The debatebetween high school
teams of Eagle River and Toina-
hawk. held at the latter city Fri
day evening, resulted in VIC
tory for Eagle River.
Eagle River was represented
by Frank Carter, Freda Prankel
and Lloyd Raymond, they hav-
ing the affirmative side of rhe
question: Resolved That Wom-
an Suffrage is Desirable"
The negative was taken care of
by Laurence Russell, George

rison, Rhinelander and Judge w
C. Porter, Merrill.
The debate, held in the audi
forum of the Tomahawk high
school. and listened to by a
crow ded house, was hard
fought battle of oratorv and
facts, but according to the decis-
ion of the judges. Eagle Rivers
representatives were a shade the
better on a majority of the
points. This is the first debate
the Eagle River schools has ever
INDUCED in and while Toma-
hawk is a much larger school,
the honor our school has acquir-
ed in winning from them, is much
greater than from a smaller
school.

panied to Tomahawk by George
Hall, Mines. A. Mckenzie, Finn
LAWYER and Ethel Robida, Edw.
Scheribel, Herman Engelstead
and Robert Olmstead.

Debutantes. as we'll rs the girls in the
colleges. have taken up the fad of quilt
Ing. Fudge parties" have given way
to "quilting bees" as they are some
times called. The girl who has had sew
eral seasons in society has found time
to copy one or more Of these old quilts
to add to the linen and lace lingerie in
her "trenSure chest" But probably the
most amazing thing about the quilts is
that they are used on the outside of the
bed. and they have quite superseded til"
cover Of ruft1ed Swiss or the counter
pane. Where they harmonic with the
decorations nothing could he prettier IN
the home. The snowy pillowcnses, not
shams. trimmed with heavy crocheted
linen lace and showing a tiny raised
letter or monogram are indeed a fitting
accompaniment to the quilts Of our great
grandmothers.
Fancy stitches tend a great deal to-
ward making the old time quilt attrac-
tive. These stitches are in such num-
bers that there Is no need for the quilter
to originate her own. Then, with the
different colors Of embroidery cotton,
the effect Of the blocks and their Dor
ders is unique. Many women prefer to
use different stitch around each block
Of the quilt. This, Of course. makes a
great deal Of extra work, but the re-
suit pays for the time taken up. All
sorts Of zig-zag lines, curves, blocks,
triangles. flowers and odd designs form
stitches, ana the sewing on Of these II
feature in itself. Often stitch Is
made in two colors, one half In one and
the remainder in another color. Then
the thread can be blended with the
other maierial.
