INCREASE IN OPERATION
Test Drilling to Determine
Value of Newly Found Iron
Range Being Carried onEx-
tensively.

According to reports the recent
discovery of an extensive iron
range under the northern and
western part of Villas county has
proven to be of great value if the
nature of present operations can
be taken as a criterion. Since the
big steel interests have secure /
the lands under which the miner
al ore laws crews have been at
work constantly test drilling to
determine the real value and ex-
tent of the range.
The first crew TO begin opera
tons put down their shafts just
south of State Line. Other test
bOreS have been sunk along the
Eagle River-State Line highway.
Operations have been under way
around Lac Vieux Desert. The
crews at present are sinking a
test bore west of the c. & n. w.
track about two miles north OF
Scott. At the old Merrill home
stead between Anderson and
Spring lakes operations are also
being advanced. In the west end
OF the county along the Mantto-
wish waters drilling is also going
on.
These continued activities IN
the ore field give Villas county Ill
habitants prospects of a great
future development.

HACKLEY SCHOOL ITEMS
First Month Closes With a
Good Record of Attend
ance-Other School Notes.

The H a ckley State Graded
School has at times in the past
borne rather unenviable repu-
tation because ofthe irregularity
in attendance of its pupils, but if
the record Of the past month is
continued throughout the year,
or improved upon, this undeslr-
able reputation will be lived
down and forgotten. In order
to encourage regularity of at
tendance by the pupils, there
will be published each month the
names of those who have not
been absent during the month.
1t is hoped that pupils and par
ents will cooperate with the
teachers to the end that there
NAV be published each month a
goodly number of names.
The pupils named below were
perfect in attendance during the
first month of the school year:

MAKE UNUSUAL ARREST
Hackley Farmer Makes Salt
Lick for Deer-First Arrest
in State-Caught With Red
Deer Hides.

What is said to be the first ar
rest on record in this state for
having a salt lick for the purpose
OF hunting deer, occurred near
Hacklev last week when Deputy
Game Wardens Berg ofRhinelan-
der and Eagan of Manitowoc
took into custody Mike Brennan,
a farmer. Brennan was taken
before a justice at Eagle River
and pleaded guilty, receiving a
fine of sos and costs.
Mr.. Berg stated that the lick
was on Brennan's clearing. As a
usual custom deer ticks are put
in the woods a distance from any
habitation and for this reason
game wardens are unable to find
the parties responsible.
F. H. Morse of Seven Mile
was arrested by Game Warden
Henry Oberholtzer last week and
brought before Judge Higgins
Friday. He pleaded guilty to the
charge of having red deer hides
in his possession during closed
season and was fined $25 and
costs amounting in all to $31.75.

NOTHING To WEAR.
Mrs. Alice LOngworth Is in Chicago
Without He'd Trunks.

Chicago, June 17.-Mrs. Alice Roose-
Welt Longworth is in Chicago minus
trunks filed with beautiful l gowns
which she needs badly for convention
week. She is plentifully supplied with
hats, her trunk with eight of the ''crea-
tons having arrived on the same train
with her and her husband, Congress
man Longworth, on Saturday night
Last night Mrs. Longworth found
herself obliged to ask one question a
score of times. Each time she receiv-
ed invitation for herself and the
congressman she asked
Can come in a tailored suit?'
Mrs. Longworths trunks have not
arrived in Chicago and she admitted
last night that the situation was de-
cidedly embarrassing. Since her ar
rival the former presidents daughter
has appeared about the hotel in a sim
pie, dark colored, tailored suit of swag
ger cut, and she admits that it is all
she has to wear until her trunks ar :
rive.
Railroad tracers have been kept on
the jump ever since the discovery was
made that the trunks had gone astray.

CONTESTS ALL SETTLED.
Nomination Will Depend Upon Votes
of Uninstructed Delegates.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Republican
national committee az els Saturday
night completed the decision of con-
tests involving seats in the national
convention which will assemble Tues
day, having given a total of 60 dele
gates to President Taft and six to
Theodore Roosevelt during the day.
This gives Taft 436 delegates and
Roosevelt 430 in the convention, max
ing it necessary providing each man
holds his forces together, for the pres
ident to get 104 and Colonel Roosevelt
10 from the 166 uninStructcd or the
46 LaFollette and Cummins delegates
to obtain the $40 necessary to nom1-
nate.
The spectacular arrival of Colonel
Roosevelt and the tumultuous greeting
given to him by thousands IN the
streets unquestionably gave confidence
to the Roosevelt managers.
Theft won't. win That was the
burden of an address made by Roose-
welt Is minutes after he reached the
CITY. He spoke from a balcony OF the
Congress hotel to perhaps 10000 per-
sons who surged in the streets below,
cheering madly at every phrase he ut.
tered. Something of the piercing rebel
ity of the famous rebel yelp' charac-
terized the cheers which interrupted
the Roosevelt speech.
The unprecedented situation IN
American politics is more acute than
ever.

HE HAS THE GOOSE.
Farmer Holds Proof That Andree Dis
covered the Pole.

Sacramento, Cal, June 17.-"North Pole,
July ], 1906, Major Andree."
Was this message, which was tagged
to the foot of south bound goose cap
tured by northern California farmer on
july "A, 1906, message from the dead
telling of the first successful conquest of
the frozen north written by the leader of
the Inflated polar expedition which left
Danes Island, Northwest Spitzbergen, in
the balloon Cornen, on July IL, 1897.
For fifteen years the civilized world has
waited in vain for news of the Andree
party.
On the morning of July "a, 1906, huge
goose, unlike any species ever seen in
California, fell exhausted in to the chicken
yard of H. NJ. Thomas, a farmer residing
near Montague, Siskyou county. Thomas
discovered a small nickeled tag attached
to one of it's legs, tied securely by a
strand of copper wire. Roughly but
legibly chisled into the face of the tag
was the announcement of the poles dis
covery on July l, 1906
For nearly six years Thomas kept the
secret to himself. Whether because he
doubted if the tale W ould be received with
credence by the outside world, or with
passive Indifference as to his discovery,
Thomas did not divulge his find. He did,
however, capture the goose and discover
ed the tag. Both are still in existence.
The bird remains the little farm,
which has not passed into other hands,
and the tag is in the possession of Thorn
as, who has removed to San Mateo
county.

BoRAH FOR CHAIRMAN.
The Roosevelt Pc e VIII Put Him
Un AGAINST Root.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Roosevelt
forces have agreed to enter Senator
Borah as their candidate against
. Senator Root for temporary chair
man. Governor Hadley, of Missouri,
was selected as floor leader.
Colonel Roosevelt conferred more
than an hour with Chairman Rose
water, who sought the interview
through Z. Mont Reilly, of Kansas
City, a mutual friend. Mr. Rosewater
explained to the colonel that in MAX
. ing rulings in the national committee
on contest cases he had followed the
parliamentary practice that had al
ways governed the deliberations of
that body.
Colonel Roosevelt directed severe
criticism against individual members
of the committee but Mr.. Rosewater
is said to have escaped these stric-
lures. Finally the colonel demanded
to know what Mr.. Rosewater's atti-
tude would be when the Roosevelt
forces proposed to substitute new
temporary roll for that prepared by
the committee.
1.-The rules of the committee will
apply answered Mr.. Rosewater.
When asked if he would not con-
sent to submit the question to the con-
vention Mr.. RoSewater is said to have
asked for time in which to consider
the question.
Reports of the plans of Colonel
Roosevelt were many. One of those
welt delegates failed in their first test
they would name their own ticket
and that two sets of Republican can
didateS would be selected. Colonel
Roosevelt was asked about it.
That's nonsense" he said.
But in the event that the delegates
whose election you consider fraudu-
lent are seated he was asked, ''can
your delegates give countenance to
the act by sitting in convention
with them?''
Colonel Roosevelt paused for mo-
ment to consider his answer.
Wen cross that bridge when we
come to it, he said at last.
The convention Will never recog-
nize fraudulent delegates said James
r. Garfield, of Ohio. 1T would be an
illegal convention"
But in case they were seated he
was asked, would the Roosevelt del
egates proceed with the convention
and act with them %
They could not do So he replied.
IF they act apart from what you
consider an illegal convention would
they be willing to act in concert with
the Taft delegates whose titles to
seats are not questioned?''
Certainly they would Mr.. Car
field responded.
f. A. VanValkenberg of Philadel-
phia, who is closely associated with
Colonel Roosevelt, said the contested
delegates would be eliminated lin a
parliamentary way" He expressed
the opinion that if the test case is
made of two California delegates I'M
der the plan mapped out neither they
nor the. other contested delegates
would have the right to vote.
Colonel Roosevelt said he did not
know definitely what plan of action
would be adopted.

Wal St, New York, June 17.-STOCkS-
Today's early stock market gave fore
taste of what may be expected until pend
ing political complications come nearer
adjustment. Business was too perfuctory
for real meaning.
A score of fairly prominent issues re-
manned unquoted at noon Heaviness in

market movements.

Wall ST., New York, June 17.-STOCKS-
A one point decline in Canadian Pacific

thetic and featureless as in the early ses-
sion, although the undertone tended
increasing firmness.

the suffragists were more interested in

side issue with US We are here pri-
marily to mingle with politicians and
