STRUCK BY 800" TRAIN
Joseph and Helen hidden
dorf Received Serious In
juries at North Crandon on
Friday---Young Lady Well
Known Here.

A distressing accident happen
ed last Friday evening at North
Crandon resulting in probably
fatal injuries to Joseph hidden
dorf and a severe shock and some
bruises to his sister Helen.
The two young people were
about to go out to the hidden
dorf farm and started along the
500 tracks. They had only gone
a short distance when the eve
ming passenger came into view.
Near them was the section house
platform and they ran to get on
to it, but misjudged the speed Of
the train and were both struck
and hurled into the ditch. The
boy had his shoulder broken and
was badly crushed, SO seriously
that attending surgeons doubt
his recovery. The Middendorts
are among the prominent people
of North -Iandon and the Young
people are popular with all
classes. 1t is hoped that they
may both speedily recover

Partridges Are Plentiful.

Since the opening of partridge
season, Sept. 10th, many fine
bags of birds have been brought
in, but hunting is not prime yet
because of the dense foliage. A
few frosts will make the leaves
drop and insure better hunting.
Partridges are abundant in num-
Der this fall there being but a
very few causes to modest their
increase. Not many ducks are
being killed in this early part OF
the season. That sport comes
later on in the month of October
when the cold weather begins
and the ducks move southwark
At that time Lac Vieux Desert is
the rendezvous for all duck hunt,
ers from this part of thecountry
When the fight begins thous'
ands of ducks alight in that lake
and no hunter returns from that
place without his full quota.

PASS GOOD RESOLUTION
Oneida County Board Voices
Public Sentiment Regard
ing State Lands Board of
Villas County Should Pass
Similar Resolution.

Resolved bv the board OF
supervisors of Oneida county,
Wisconsin, that whereas, the
state of Wisconsin has purchased
large tracts of land in the county
and withdrawn the same from
market and from taxation, there
by increasing the taxes of all tax
payers Of the county, also caus-
ing great hardship to the settlers
living near or surrounded bv
these tracts so purchased by the
state for the reason that thev
are left isolated and not in a
position to secure roads, schools,
neighbors orchurches.
Nov therefore this board
unanimously requests that the
state return to market all lands
SO purchased by the state, same
to be sold to actual settlers at a
price not to exceed So per acre in
groups not exceeding 100 acres
to each individual"
Nhe adoption of the above res
olution by the Oneida county
board shows we'll the public SEN
tinnent towards the state lands
in the northern counties. Such a
resolution should be adopted bv
the Villas county board be
cause nowhere iii the state have
the effects of state lands been felt
worse than in Villas county. The
immense tracts taken oyer bv
the state and made exempt from
taxation have made the taxes in
adjoining tracts almost unbear-
able. AS example there is the
town Opium Lake in Villas coun-
ty. The total acreage of the
township is %, 1928 Of this
20,295.3 80 acres are state lands
which leaves an assessable acre
age OF only 7,295.06 acres on
which to raise taxes for the
maintenance Of the whole town.
If all the counties wherein there
are state lands would unite in
request to the state embodving
the grievances set forth in the
above resolution their concerted
effort might secure results from
the state.

READY FOR TUBER CROP
Potato Warehouse VIII Be
Completed in a Few Days
Ready for Crop Potatoes
Good This Year.

The new potato warehouse is
fast taking shape on its site on
the sidetrack west Of the C. & N.
w. depot. A crew of seven men
is putting up the frame over the
concrete foundation which was
laid few weeks ago, and accord
ing to present planning the build
ing will be completed in about
ten days.
The agitation for a potato
warehouse for Eagle River has
been the efforts of a number of
farmers and now through the
instrumentality of Amos Rad
cliffe and the L. Starks Co. OF
Chicago, Eagle River can number
among her marks of progressive
ness a potato warehouse built
on modern lines and of a capacity
large enough to accommodate
all the potatoes grown in this
section. Similar buildings are
being put up at stations along
the line in order to facilitate the
handling of the potato crop.
According to the the govern
meut report the 1912 potato
crop is going to be bumper one.
To Wisconsin, a state where the
tuber crop is one of the chic
agricultural products, this means
much. 1t means that more farm.
ers every year are planting more
acreage to the potato crop. Ant

WEATHER PROPHETS IN
Conference Hand Out Dope
for Coming Winter-Will
be One of Cold Weather
If Signs Prevail.

With the official ushering in oil
fall Monday, and less than a week
of the present month left, a new
record for a summers rainfall
has been made, 241a inches falling
"a record that has not been
equalled for many years.
And with the passing of sum
mer there is considerable prog
nosticarion agog just at present
as to the kind of a winter we are
to have served up to us. Goose
bone prophets. weather sooth-
savers and wiseacres who claim
to be able to foresee the future bv
the husks of corn and conduct of
the animals of the fields, are busy
working overtime. But the only
satisfaction the weatherman will
give is his daily announcement of
the weather for thirty-six hours
ahead.
In the woods, according to
old woodsmen, the animals anu
birds are silently doing their
weather stunts, preparing for al
early and severe winter. Butchers
who swear by the spleen of the
hog say that the spleen of pork
ers killed recently is larger than
usual, an indisputable token, so
they say, of a severe winter.
But signs have tailed and fore
feelings have been bit unreliable
this past season so the man who
gets not anxious and just takes
what the dope man dishes out is
going to be the least disappoint-
ed one. The forecaster may fore
cast, the prognosticator prog
nosticate and the animals den up
for the winter but the fact re-
mains that winter is coming and
that father will have to foot the
coal and wood bills in the same
old way.

state. Every year Northern Wis
consin is producing convincing
evidence that the potatois one OF
the money crops of the farmer in
this section. 1t is crop that,
with the aid of a potato ware
house, the farmer can turn into
money as soon as harvested.
