OPERATE SPEED CRAFTS
Messrs. Hall and Roderick
VIII Patch Up Dan Patch
|" in Readiness for the
Launch Season---McIntyre
and McVay Buy Boats.

At the "tryout" Thursday the
speed craft Dan Patch |" owned
by Messrs Frank Hall and ]. /.
Roderlck and operated by r. D.
Mcleod, was pronounced to be
IN running order, even though it
had to be padded back by man
power to its berth after a short
run up and down the water
speedway.
We had probably better add
that there is no slicker, trimmer,
nattv and speedier launch in its
class than the Dan Patch |. It
has piled these waters for a
couple years and is so we'll
known that it needs no intro
ductlon. Prior to its launching
two years ago it held the speed
honors over all the power craft
on Lake Buckatoban. 1t was
the only power boat on that
lake.-Ed.
Nevertheless watch the record
of this boat this season.
F. 6. Mcintyre purchased a
new launch and engine The hull,
now being put together, was
shipped Touchdown"
A. B. McVay purchased the
Smazel launch last week and
will keep it on the lower chain.
Alex Higgins is a new launch
enthusiasts. He is having a hull
built at the Eagle River Boat
Works, % feet in length with
5-ft. Sin, beam A 15-horse en-
CINE will be installed.

hood.
Forest county was there with
a grain and general crop exhibit.
likewise Oneida county. Price
county had prizes and medals
both from the state fair and St
Louis exposition which it had
won IN competition with other
states and counties. Villas and
Iron was there with sworn state
mentS as to the productiveness
OF the soil, backed up by farmers
who are making a living by
farming.
There is untillable lands in this
proposed reserve section, about
50 percent, which the state can
reforest. The people of these
counties are not opposed to re-
forestration, if it is carried on in
a sane and not a theoretical man
ner. Let the forestry board re-
forest what they already hold.
1t will take them 200 years to
do so. At the end of that period
they can secure large tracts in
Jackson, Clark. Adams, Wau-
.shara and many other southern
counties and proceed with their
labors.
State Forester Griffith is a re-
forestration theorist of the most
violent type, and from the re
pudiation he received from his
cohorts at Madison the other
day, one would be led to believe
that he is decidedly untmthful.

Ice in the Lakes.

While the river is open almost
it's entire length, there is still an
abundance of ice in the lakes.
None have as vet begun to move,
and it is likely that it will be
along the first week in May
before any motor boat enthusl-
asst can run the entire length OF
the chain of lakes.

Herbert Warner who owns a
summer resort on Plum Lake is
installing a light plant in his re-
sort. The plant will be up to

that Warner S is smaller, and he

M. w. HOLSTER, he of the
Northwestern railway with
headquarters at Amigo, and OF
the capacity of travelling passen-
ger agent to the company, was
in Eagle River overnight last
week Friday. The acquaintance
of Mr.. HOLSTER with Eagle
River patrons is widening with
each trip he makes and his scope
of friends is therefore broadening.
He's a very pleasing gentleman
to meet and we all like him.
Probably this is occasioned by
his acquaintance with and friend
ship for one Alexander Knute
Potter, tie Inspector for the c. &
u. w. on the Ashland division,
who also has his headquarters
at Amigo. We've known Alex
thander for years when dress
suit was an every day occurrence
with him. he at one time being
a professor of the terpischorean
art. Gee, that sounds salu-
brious. While Potter is not
extremely well known here, we
might add that it is a sort OF
Damon and Pythias affair be
tween he and HOLSTER. Such is
the true love of friends and may
it never grow less.
