BASEBALL FODDER
W aaaaaSa99as
We're started.


Eagle River opened its baseball
season Sunday on the local dia-
mond by shutting out the Mont
co Excelsiors 7 to @. The day
was a scorcher and the new
grounds made the game fast
one. Monico started the game.
Frankel pitching for Eagle River
retired the side in one, two, three
style at the very beginning. The
bunch Of stuain' men from down
the line failed to fathom the He
brew's attack and none connect
ed seriously save one Wieland,
the pitcher, who raped out a
nice juicy one beyond left field,
good enough anywhere for three
bases but owing to his cewagon
method of locomotion, it only
netted him a single bag. Ewald
started to dishgure the tally
sheet after a neat little hit I'M the
second inning. Up to the first Of
the eighth the Excelslors held
their opponents down to two on
the black board and the game
was mostly battle between
the men on the mounds. Once
Prankel put himself into a deep
hole in the seventh-three men
on bases and two out; the bat
ter drove a terrific liner; Joe stuck
his fist into the air and speared
the horsehide which cl osed the
door with three visitors strand
ed. In the last of the eighth
came the Regulars battingrally.
Everybody hit the ball ard hit it
everywhere. Monico's pitcher
couldn't slide EN- over in his
former stvle and the home team
pounded them in every direction.
With two men on bases Woerfel
lifted a mighty one over the lett
field fence giving him three bases,
bringing the Others in. The in
ming ended with Eagle River in
THE lead by FIVE more scores
making a total of seven. The
Regulars rally disheartened the
Excelsior team who were nut
out as fast as they appeared in
the last inning. One thing they
couldn't solve was Ewald's toss
to second. 1t fooled them every
time; no one stole second For
the first game of the season the
local team showed up in good
form. They gave Frankel. who
pitched a splendid game, A | sup

Its the proper thing nova
DAYS, i'll speaking Of the man
who pulls the oars, lands your

dress him as "boatman," not

from our friend the venerable

this change in the title Of

explained. tits said, SO Webb

"boatman" is used exclusively
among the large resorts in Can

State Purchases Land For
Forestry Purposes--Assem-
bly, Appropriates $4,000.

State Forester Griffith submit
ted a report to the legislature
last Tuesday of the amount O
lands which had been acquired
by the state for forestry purposes
and of the cost and values of The
same.
Mr.. Griffith included in his re-
port lands which have been pur-
chased from September, 1907,
forward. Among the latest and
heaviest purchases were 81, 252.-
81 acres of the q. F. Sanborn
Lumber company, Eagle River,
at $3.50 per acre; 600 acres OF
the Boswell Manufacturing and
Lumber company, Wausau, at
$3.50 per acre; GAO acres of the
Alexander Stewart Lumber com
pany, Wausau, at SO per acre,
and 1896 acres of the Yawkev-
Blssell Lumber company at
$3.50 per acre.
"All of the above purchases, .
said Mr.. Griffith, have been
completed and fully paid for ex-
cept the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber
company and the G. F. Sanborn
Lumber company, which will be
completed under land contracts
as funds are available"
The total acreage oflands pur-
chased is given at Ill ,4O7 acres,
AS lands granted to the state by
the federal government and the
Nebegamon Lumber company
there are 24,321 acres. making
a total acreage of 1928 acres.
In conclusion Mr.. Griffith said
that most of the lands purchased
contained valuable young tim
Der, which, if protected from fire,
would grow into valuable forests
The average price paid, he said,
was So per acre, which he con
sidered reasonable considering
the location. much of the land
bordering on the lakes in the
northern part of the state.
He claimed the state forest re-
serve lands are worth between
S1.5OO,O00 and So, 100000 In
order to protect it's lands he said
it was necessary for the state to
secure lands scattered about
among the state holdings. Only
an ample appropriation for the
use OF the state board offorestry,
he said, would enable the board
70 do this.
Mr.. Griffith said the appropri-
alton granted at this session Of
the legislature would largely
determine the future success OF
forestry in Wisconsin" AS the
assembly last week reduced the
appropriation of 100000
annually recommended by the
finance committee to $4,000
the state hoard will apparently
have to go slow for time

with a vengeance. It began at

until two in the afternoon. No
public celebration was held The

dinner several parties took lake
trips and picnic suppers on the

at Three Lakes however. A ball

fifty people from Eagle River and
together with the delegation
from Hackley things hummed
some at the burg down the line.

AT NIXON TONIGHT

"Seven Days. week with enough
laughter in it for year, will be at
the Nixon opera house tonight. Messrs.
Wagenhals Kemper will present this
howling comedy success with their
notable New York Astor theatre cast
production. "Seven Days. the work
of Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood, holds the record for plays
whose object is laughter. Persons are
drawn to it time and time again and
always with heightened enjoyment. It
contains so much wit, brightness, nov
city, comic situation, amusing personal
ity and all else of delightful merri-
ment, that it always furnishes fresh
laughter and new pleasure. It is i'm.
possible to take it all in the first time.
1t is heartier laugh each time it il
seen. This very quality of sustained
merriment is what stretched "Seven
Days" into third year in New York.
People went to see it again and again
and liked it better each time. That 10
why at the Astor theatre in New
York, it made the record Of the Ameri-
can stage, running into third year.
Out of town people shouted with glee
at it in New York, then howled with
mrriment over it when it came to their
homes, and they made all their friends
go to the biggest laughing hit of the
generation. So it ran six months in
Chicago, four in Boston, and for :
long time in Philadelphia, growing in
favor each day and turning 'em
away to use theatrical expression,
an unprecedented number of times. The
/" standing room only" sign and cor
chestra under the STAGE are the rule
with "Seven Days. so get in line
early and secure seats.
''The audience was kept for three
solid hours gasping and roaring with
laughter said Hampton's Magazine,
while the New York Journal of Com
merce declared that "there is never
dull fraction of second in the en-
tirety of Seven Days. Said the
Chicago Inter Ocean: 1T will make
one laugh until weary while the Bos-
ton American declared that it dump
ed you into laughing convulsions. -
The Philadelphia North American pro-
nounced it "the best of the higher
type of comedies
Don t let the fact of having seen
: Seven Days" keep anyone from see-
ing it again. 1t will be funnier this
time than ever.

SULPHUR PRODUCTION AN
AMERICAN INDUSTRY

The United States produced 255,534
long tons of sulphur in 1910, valued ct
$4,605,ll2, according to figures COM
piled by w. G. Phalen, of the United
States geological survey, and just pub
lished as an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources. This is an in
crease of 1922 tons in quantity and
$l73,04 in value over the output for
1909.
The sulphur industry in this coun-
thy is substantially an American one,
for the imports for 1910 were valued
at only $552,611, while the exports
amounted to 1852 ,941. Four states
Louisiana, Nevada, Utah and Wyom-
ing-produced practically all of our
sulphur. Mr.. Phalen discussed the
geologic occurrence and technology of
sulphur in the 1909 chapter Of "Min-
eral Resources. In the chapter Tor
1910 he gives detailed account of the
important foreign sulphur deposits
those of Italy, Japan and other coun-
tries.
The. report also contains the stats
tics of production of pyrite in the
United States, which in 1910 amounted
to 238,l54 long tons, valued at $685.
COS. The imports of this mineral were
largely in excess of the domestic pro-
duction, being S03,55l long tons in
1910, valued at $2,74S,647. A copy Of
the report on the production of sui
phur and pyrite in 1910 can be had on
