WILL MOVE BUILDINGS
The Korzilius Resort at
Three Lakes to Move
Buildings on Lake Shore.

I. H. and Ed Korzilius, of the
I. H. Korzilius & Sons Summer
Resort, were up from Three
Lakes Monday to secure the ser
vices of Aug. Radtke for the re-
moval OF their resort buildings
from their present location TO
the lake shore of Town Line lake
about a quarter of mile east.
The Korzilius resort, comprising
main buildings and a dozen
cottages is now located one mile
north of Three Lakes on the
main Travelled road. Town Line
lake is located about a quarter
of mile east of the resort. With
the changing of the location OF
the resort proper, the patrons OF
this popular hosiery will secure
more convenience during their
vacation period.
At the same time it puts the
resort upon the main lakes OF
the upper chain.

Dean Russell denied that any per-

by the board or that there was any
justification for the assumption that
there had been. He said the plan
was 10 examine the land and to
restore it to the market in case II

answer to this, it was shown that a

omcers OF the state, the secretary of
state, the state treasurer and the
attorney general, as public land CONS
missioner, have surrendered every
right or power they have in reference
to state land, and under the provi-
slons OF this measure, more severe
restrictions were sought to be inn
posed. In face of the fact did it look
reasonable, O'Connor asked, that the
forestry board intended to surrender
any land to which it had a title.
Practically every time, the speakers
got on thin ice, President Van Hise
sought to come to their rescue, and
asked if the time of the questions was
to be taken from that side. or he
volunteered the information that
someone else would answer that ques-
ton.
All the bill under consideration pro-
poses to do is to CALL for an investi-
cation OF the question of whether or
not these lands are agricultural and
covering what has been done by the
forestry department, and suspended
further purchases until the matter
has been looked into. In view of the
fact that such an investigation was
authorized by the legislature of two
years ago, and that no appointments
were made for some reason or other,
it is peculiar, to say the least, that so
much opposition comes to the bill at
this time. The cost of the investiga-
ton is of no consequence when every
day thousands of dollars are being
appropriated on one pretext or
another without one tenth the merit
there is to this proposition.
SENATE TAKES A HAND.
On Thursday evening at the senate
session owing to the discovery of the
existing statue, Senator Tompkins in
troduced a resolution authorizing the
appointment of committee to look
into the question and seeking to carry
out the legislative intent OF two years
ago. The resolution calls for report
by May 16. The intent of this will
doubtless be to defeat the Steven
Whitside bills, for the snow is still on
the ground in northern Wisconsin
and any investigation should be thor
ough and adequate to establish the
contention that these lands are or are
not non-agricultural 1t is further
desired to ascertain what use the for
estry board is making of it's opportun-
tiles for real work. The building of a
bungalow might be included in this,
but even so, the people who pay the
taxes. for this experiment, have reason
able grounds to feel that thorough
investigation is needed and should
be had
When it was learned that 81
assemblvmen were laying" for
the above resolution introduced
by Senator Tompkins, it was in
stantly withdrawn.-ED.
The investigation was held on
Thursday afternoon. Friday
the assembly committee on state
affairs voted in favor of the pas
sage of our bill. the vote being 7
for and 3 against. Our bill asks
for a complete investigation and
to stop purchase of lands for two
years.
This bill will come up thiswee
Friday before the assembly, and
will undoubtedly be ordered en-
crossed. There is also a substi-
tute attached.
While the forest reserve has
been handed a body blow, still
the danger is not past. But we
intend to keep pummeling them
with facts until they haven't a
gasp left.

CAUGHT Them Both Ways.

A prisoner on his trial, in answer to
the charge, pleaded Not guilty" The
jury found the charge proved, and in
passing the sentence the judge said,
"Ye're not only guilty, but We comes
here and tells lies, saying ye're not. -
The prisoner who followed next for
trial was doubtless influenced by this
and supposed it would be well for him
to take another course, so he pleaded
Guilty" in quite self satisfied voice.
ooh, ye're guilty, are ye," said the
judge. "and come here to brag about
it, do ye?"
