CAMP WINNEPE LAUNCH
Eagle River Boat Works VIII
Build New Thirty-five Foot
Launch for Boys Summer
Camp---To Be Finished By
July 1st.

Camp Winnepe, the boys sum
mer camp on Catfish lake, own
ed by Messrs. Marriott & Kelly
of st. Louis, will have a new
launch for the ~ season, the final
arrangements as to details of
construction being made and the
order being placed with the
Eagle River Boat Works this
week. The craft will have a
length OF 35 feet and a beam ofsix
feet and will be equipped with an
engine developing about IS
horse power According to the
contract the launch is to be
ready for it's owners by July 1st,
the opening Of the summer sea-
son of the camp.
Messrs. Marriott and Kelly
purchased the site known as
Camp Winnepe from F. w. Nc
Ihtyre the past winter, after
conducting their camp at that
place during the 1911 season.
1t was formerly the Grand View
resort. The managers of the
camp are planning on accomo-
dating a larger number Of boys
this year than last.
Last week there was shipped
from the factory % #. 5 horse
power motor boat to Mr.. Burns,
proprietor of the Beach hotel at
Pelican Lake. 1t is the first craft
on that lake to be built at Eagle
River. During the winter the
boat works has enjoyed an
unusal brisk trade. Several
launches have been constructed,
among them Lazy Lady III"
owned by Guy Carlton Lee of
Carlisle, Pa, being the speediest
and best equipped. Rowboats
to supply the demand have been
built and a stock kept on hand
for immediate delivery. Satur-
day Arthur and Raymond Miller
arrived from Stevens Point to be
at the boat factory
during the summer. Arthur has
spent the winter in Chicago |
working in the engine depart
ment of an auto shop and !
attending a technical school, be-
coming proficient in the handling
and repairing ofgasoline engines.
Since it's start in Eagle River
the boat factory has built up an
trade and it's boats are
fast becoming known on other
waters than on the Eagle chain.
1t is an industry that the town
should be proud of and even
though small its product is such
that it's enlargement is assured.

JUST FISH STORIES
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Hail! All We fishermen.

Saturday, June LIST, was the
opening of the fishing seasonand
with this issue of the News the
paid prevaricator takes upon
himself the task of filling up this
column every Wednesday with
dope that varies in truthfulness.
When one has to depend upon
the participant for the fish story
the narrative is generally inclined
to be a trife colored, consequent
ly should there appear under the
above caption within the next
three months something that
YOU cannot take at one bite, be a
bit lenient in your denunciation
and nibble away at it till you
get the strike, then sit back and
reel him in. At the outset of
this arduous undertaking the
dopester makes no promises,
gives no guarantee, will accept
no brides and makeno apologies,
so YOU angler for the fnny tribe
beware. If you break into print
be sport and face the music.
When such water disturbers as
Mckenzie, BARLEY, Lacau, Cole
of Elgin and Dad" Phelps OF
Hackley, and a host of Others
connive together to invade this
column, something's going to
happen. 1t may be the truth
and it NAV be OTHERWISE.

fine day we're goin to prowl

flying in the same direction and
swerved just triHe. apparently when
