And They Slew the Varmint.

When M. w. Savage and K. E.
came to Villas county
three years ago from near the
city of Antioch, Illinois. their in
tentions were to be soil tillers
and not bar slayers. They, with
their father-in-law, Geo. 6. San
born, purchased tract Of wild
land on the shores of Big Bass
lake and the fruits of their un-
ceasing labors have resulted in
extra good farm buildings and
numerous acres of cropable land
under cultivation. For three
years they have withstood the
call of the wild" butt evidently
secured a strange hold much to
their enjoyment. For some few
weeks past they ran across bear
signs near Anvil lake and rugged
up trap, catching the varmlnt
Monday of this week, 1t was a
large black bear, and it's hide

which are laid out with view
to permanencv.
To lay out a system of high
ways that will be equally fair to
all the towns in the county, and
to please all ofthe citizens therein
is a proposition that takes much
thought OH the part of the road
builders and one which can
hardly be expected to be realized
in it's entirety. But iudicious
road building giving results to
the greatest number with the
view ever in mind of making the
system permanent is all that can
be asked for and such work will
be appreciated by the inhabitants
and others who use highways.
Villas county IS on the eve of a
big undertaking in highway con-
strucrion. The county has been
bonded for a vast sum Of money
for that particular purpose, and
it is absolutely necessary that at
this time extra care should be
taken in it's disposal for the best
interests of those who are here
and for future generations to
come.

The best catch of lake trout, or
land locked salmon, made for
several years, was brought down
Yesterday from Thousand Island
lake by Messrs. Fred Tilden, E.
A. Everett, R. A. Woerfel, W. B.
RAYMOND and D. =. Menefee.
The number of the catch was not
SO large but the size and eveness
in weight of each individual fish
made it a banner string. Twelve
trout weighed an even hundred
pounds, thelargest going 1874 lbs.
The party were guests of John H.
Frank and c. A. Bent, who own
resorts on the Cisco chain of
lakes, twelve miles west of State

Villas COUNTY'S ROADS
Judicious Road-Making VIII
be Mark of County's Prog
gress---Work to Commence
Soon.

With the early arrival of spring
and absence of frost in the ground
the thoughts of Villas county's
taxpayers naturally turn toward
the question OF highway con-
struction-the issue which is so
vital to the county this year.
The bonding of the county for
$50, 100000 last summer for high
way purposes was a good move,
and, if properly carried out, will
do more for the whole county
both now and in future Years
than any other act of the county
officials.
Villas county's highway system
is in need Of improvement and
until that is obtained other de-
velopment must necessarily be
retarded.
Every line of active advance
ment depends upon the highways
which a county builds 10 the
I'm Intending settler no other factor
means SO much for his prosper
ity; to the resident no public
movement is appreciated more
than the building of good roads;
aud to the summer visitor-the
source from which so much of
the revenue of this section is OBJ
tained-the development of good
highways means more than the
average person is inclined to be-
lieve on first thought.
But highways built without
system are detrimental to the
county. AS A. H. Hirst, engineer
of the State Highway Commits
sion. said in his talk to members
of the county board and citizens
at the court house a few weeks
ago, the quality and system of
the roads built and not the
quantity, will live; and, as they
are laid out and constructed,
so will they stand as a monu-
ment to the work of public Off
Gals who were instrumental in
their instruction.
In future construction OF roads
in Villas county, two important
issues become prominent. First,
the construction of highways
that will benefit the greatest
number Of Inhabitants, and, sec
ond, highways that will be per
manent in their location and
builded on known lines where it
Is possible to do SO. During the
construction of roads in this
county last wear. amounting to
nearly $2O.0OO.0O, the road com
lnittee made a grave mistake IN
the construction of some of the
roads in hit and miss manner.
The result was that certain pOr-
tionS were resurveved and re-
builded at extra expense to the
county.
Development of the sections
traversed by roads must be taken
into consideration when roads
are to 5e built. While a section
may not at this time present any
apparent need of a county high
wav, the foresight of the men in
charge should be such as to de-
termine upon that sections
chance for development later on,
should a good highway be put
through it. joining it with a sys-
