The little one was poorly clad even
for 80 degree weather and its body
blistered from the scorching rays Of
the sun. The parents seemed indif-
ferent as to what became of their
baby just so they could get it off their
hands. It is said as the child left for
its new home it babe its father a
goodbye papa" but the father with
heart of stone paid no attention to
it whatever. It is said by those who
witnessed the sad affair that the
mother shed few tears and said she
hated to part with it but could not see
it suffer longer. She gave her age
as seventeen years and that of her
husband as twenty. The man is a
big "rube" with apparently more
physical strength than brains and the
woman is anything but handsome.
What ought to be done with such
people we leave to the public to de-
eide, but it surely needs official in
vestigation. DINAH.

Villas County Took First.

In the year 1889 Villas county's
exhibit of root crops won about
500 in first prizes at the Wis
consin state fair. Since that
time no attempt has been made
to send exhibits, it appearing as
though we were resting upon
the honors received that year.
1t has been a neglible case, or
what one might term stuperous
melancholia, in our failure to
bring before the people of other
states the true possibilities OF
our agricultural lands. We are
absolutely positive that had an
active part been taken ny the
people and county board in hav-
ing an exhibit of the countv's
productiveness each wear at the
state fair, we would not be com
PEELED to work so strenuously to
prove the erroneous statements
made by the state forester that
there is "only a possible % pei
cent of agricultural land in Villas
county" We need to develop
more activity.

GIGANTIC NEW ELECTRIC SIGN OF
THE CHICAGO AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY

The largest and most complete electric
sign ever produced has just been erected
for the Chicago and North Western Rail
wav on the River front in Chicago and
facing the Rush Street Bridge.
The sign measures fifty feet square and
shows one of the monster locomotives IN
use on that railway, and part OF tram.
In front Of the locomotive is large
automatic safety semaphore signal. The
train stops when the signal indicates the
danger position. In few seconds the
signal changes to clear position and the
large drive wheels reyolve. A small
ribbon of smoke is emitted from the
stack, adding a realistic appearance.
When the signal changes to a stop posi-
ton again the train slows down and stops
and when the signal clears it proceeds.
The train is produced in the regulation
colors of the equipment of the Chicago
and North Western Railway and the
action of the sign is true to operating
conditions Surmounting the sign IS
a huge trade mark Of the Company,
shown in colors, red and white, while
underneath the train are few lines OF
advertising on the service. The thou
sands Of tungsten lamps used shed out
afiood of light.

Should These Bills Be Paid?

On election day. there will
come up for the consideration OF
the voters of the town of Eagle
River. a budget of unpaid bills,
which, if theinform, ton handed
out is correct, should not be a.
lowed. These bills, it is said,
were not authorized by a major
ity of the town board, nor at
any regular or special meeting OF
the board. If such is the case,
it is time to sit down on one
man rule in community of en-
ightened people. We demand a
square deal as regards the pay
ment of these bills if they are not
legal.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1913-03-26

The sign is located on the roof Of one Of
the Company freight houses on the
north bank of the Chicago River between
State and Rush Streets and overlooks the
bridge of the latter, where it can be seen
by the many thousands of pedestrians
and motorists who use this thoroughfare
daily and SO unique and attractive is the
sign that passers-by in large numbers,
stop to watch its operation.
To give one clearer understanding
of the magnitude of this wonderful piece
of construction the following figures are
submitted:
Size, so feet square.
1850 sockets containing tungsten
lamps.
1850 feet of 3-inch angle steel.

Iron County in the FIGHT.

According to "Our Land, " one
of Iron county's newspapers pub
lshed at Hurley, Iron county
has Joined theranks of the north
ern counties fighting against
State Forester Griffith's theoreti-
cal and absolutely damnable re-
forestration scheme, wherein he
proposes to rejungleize approx
mately million and a half acres
of profitable agricultural land
into one vast forest" reserve to
the detriment of over 1000
farmers within its boundaries.
The Iron county board has APP
pointed Daniel Reid and William
Sherman to confer with COM
mittees from the four other cOun-
ties in the proposed reserve
belt in regard to the action to be
taken against reforesting the
northern FIVE counties. Several
weeks ago Mr.. Reid was a visitor
to Eagle River and became alive
to the magnitude of Mr. Grifith's
scheme which, in one sense, is
practically the confscation of
the most valuable cultivated and
uncultivated agricultural lands
in the state.
Talk about your piratical days
of yore, Griffith has them whipped
to FRAGILE.
