Land is cheap now and can be OBJ
tanned on very easy terms-practically
to suit the buyer, bat the opportunities
to procure good land are going fast

will be gone. Acreage which was al
lowed to go for taxes Il few years ago is
now selling for from $40 to 80 dollars
an acre. Land in northern Wisconsin
will never be valued less than now,
with the increasing "back TO the land"
movement which is causing thousands
from the overcrowded cities TO take
their families ont into he country, the
openings where the poor man can get
start will become fewer each year.
One OF the best things about Villas
county lands Is that ne on hois inter

evident To allow any fanclful stories
about getting rich over nigut While

Believing that the people of this
state want actual information, the
Wisconsin Advancement Associa-
tion is having the census bulletins
vestigated in order that it may
give to the people the best possible
statistics in a form to be readily
understood. The bulletins are so
complied that the average man will
not be able to comprehend the actu.
al situation. To illustrate: four OF
the counties of the state of New
York, comprising the highest price
farm lands of that state, produce
within Ia bushels per acre on its
average of corn, oats, wheat. barley,
rye and potatoes as much as four OF
the cheap land counties of Wiscon-
sin. From this fact many would
draw the conclusion that those
countie in New York that have
been under cultivation for many
years were very rich or had been
farmed with great intention to the
preservation of fertility. But when
the fact, as shown by figures in a
very inconspicuous place in the bull
letin; is stated, namely, that the
New York count ties used $952, ,220
worth of purchased fertilizer 20 get
within l. bushels of the Wisconsi n
crop. different conclusion comes
to the reader,
Suffolk county, which constitutes
the principal portion of the Long
Island. produces an enticing average
AID much has been said in the pub
lie prints about it. But the writer's
seem to have overlooked the impor-
tant fact that the farmers of that
county paid out in the census year
$838, ,006 for fertilizer. These and
and many other facts are important t
to the man who anticipates an in
! vestment or change in location.
The advancement Association is q
state wide organization and will be
pleased to give any information
within its power to any inquirer.

WILL FATHOM Lake SUPERIOR
Government to Take Depths
of Great Lake During
Summer

Next summer the work of measur-
ing the depth of Lake Superior will
be begun and it is expected that the
work will take the greater part Of
three months. Guy A. Eaton, COM
mander of the Minnesota Naval Mill.
tia will have charge of the work, and
he will take with him the crew of the
Gopher, the states training ship
The crew will take the depths of the
deepest parts of the lake and also the
temperature of the water. A naviga-
ton sounding machine will be installed
on the Gopher with which to take
the measurements and also the temp
erature.
Lake Superior is the largest body
of fresh water in the world and it is
also known as being one of the pures
bodies of water in the world. At |
depth of 900 fathoms the water i
but a few degrees above freezing

Company of Naval Militia
Will be Organized Feb. %
Theo. Werder of Ashland
Appointed as Enrolling
officer.

The petition which was sent to
Governor Francis E. McGovern last
week asking that company of the
Wisconsin Naval Militia be established
in this city has been granted and the
muster-in-roll is now on the way from
Madison. The company will be
organized Wednesday evening, Feb
ruary 2Sth, when Theodore Werder
of Ashland, who has been appointed
by the Governor, will be present for
the purpose of mastering in the men
and officers.
The Washburn Company will be
the second Naval Militia company in
the state, the only other one now be-
ing located at Ashland. ! The signerg
of the petition are very enthusiastic
about the organization of company
in this city and it is not thought that
there will be any difficulty in forming
a full company at the very start.
H. H. Peavey has been very active
in getting the company started in this
city and it was largely through his
efforts that the movement was put
through in such short time. Mr..
Peavey has had considerable expert
ence in this work having formed and
commanded company of militia in
Minnesota, and the new company
would do well to elect him as their
first commander.

Land Values Rise

About eighteen months ago H. H.
Peavey of this city purchased from
the Loveland company of Minneap.
oils tract of land near Port Wing,
the price paid being in the neigh.
borhood of $3.50 per acre. Mr.. Pea
vey has just closed deal for the
sale of the piece back to the Love
land company at $500 per acre,
which shows how land il that sec
tion of the county is increasing in
value.

during the next month or two will
be hardwood and hemlock, oafter
which pine timber will be supplied
from the woods.
There are about 225 men employed
about the plant, and its operation

the city.-Pioneer.

The annual banquet of the Wednes-
day Evening Study Club was held at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Walsh on east Bayfield, street on Mon

one of the leading social events ofthe
season. The affair was attended by
the members of the club and their
gentlemen friends. Covers were laid
for forty two. The guests took their
seats at the banquet table at prompt
ly seven o'clock and delicious chick
en- pie supper was served in elegant
style by the social committee of the
club. The rooms and tables we're
prettily decorated with carnations and
ferns, setting them off beautifully.
After the banquet short program
was rendered. The principal feature
of the program was debate on the
question of "Woman Suffrage.
Messrs. Walsh and Hoffman took the
affirmative side of the question while
Messrs. Alvord and Nels Oscar took
the negative side. The subject was
handled in a mastery manner by
both sides. Following the debate a
vote was taken to decide the question
which resulted in twenty-four voting
in the affirmative and fourteen in the
negative.
A piano solo was rendered by Mrs.
E. G. Moore after which there was

Land Owners Agree to Give
Financial Assistance.
Proposed Road Would Con-
meet Northern Bayfield,
County With Superior

For some time there has been talk
of highway extending from Wash
burn and Bayfield, in Bayfield, county
to Superior in Douglas county and
during the past week or more land
men have interested themselves in
the project with the result that some
action may be taken by the county
boards of Bayfield, and Douglas coun-
ties at their meetings to be held in
the spring. 1t lis argued that such
road is necessary in order to encour-
age the settlement of the lands in
the northern part of the two coun-
ties. The lands through which the
proposed road would run are as fine
as can be found anywhere in the state
for agricultural purposes and such a
road would open up and help to de-
velop valuable piece of territory.
Ameeting of those interested in
the new road was held at Superior
last week when the matter was taken
up before the Superior Commercial
Club and discussed at some length.
T. A. Loveland, representing the
Lcyeland company, owners of a large
tract of land west of Port Wing, is
interes ted in the movement.
The land owners have stated that
they stand ready to offer $4,000 to
assist the two counties in building
the proposed road. Such an offer
was made before the county board for
Douglas county held at Superior the
latter part of last week when the
matter was brought up. The Doug
las county board have deferred action
until their spring meeting. The coun-
ty board of Bayfield, county will .also
be approached on the subject at their
meeting to be held in the spring.

O'Neil Given q Clean Bill

Captain William O'Neil, formerly
of this city but now superintendent
of logging on the Chippewa reserva-
tions in northern Minnesota, has
been given clean bill by the Detroit
Investigating committee. which has
been Investigating expenditures OF
the interior departments at Detroit,
Mimi.
Most of the stuff that came out at
the investigation concerned old
stories which had been floating a.
bout for q long time, according to
Mr.. O'Neil who gave an interview
in the Duluth News-Tribune OF
Monday. Mr.. O'Neil said the Com
mission had few facts upon which
TO base charges.
Since leaving this city some years
ago Mr.. O'Neil has been superinten-
dent of logging on the reservation
at Cass Lake.
