thirty years. illustrations are
from nurseries in Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and New York-but
not a single illustration from the
Wisconsin reserve Why?
The following is summary of
what the committee found in
their investigation of the forest
reserve last year:
/. That Wisconsin conditions are
ideal for the growing Of trees particu-
larry white and norway pine.
2. That artificial demonstration
viii ultimately become source of
profit to the state.
3. That such planting should be
confined to principally white and nor
way pine.
4. That quicker and cheaper re-
suits can be had by the encourage
ment of natural second growth that
is, natural reproduction.
5 That it will be only few years
before owners of private estates will
engage in the demonstration of their
non-agricultural lands.
6. That the task given the commit
tee to decide which of the lands in
proposed forest reserve are best adap-
ted to agriculture is an impossible
one; it would require soil survey
and cruising by experts. That all the
committee could do was to make gen
eral observations.
Z. That the question as to which
of the lands are available for agricul-
ture is debatable one. That the de-
mand in few years may be such that
some of the land now fully considered
non-protitable for farming may be cul-
tivated
s. That the state lands now owned
do not compare favorably with other
lands in the proposed reserve.
8. That the selection of the lands
in the proposed res, rye was well made
and no better place could be found in
the state.
10. That lands should be held in
large areas in order to lessen the cost
of fire protection and other expense
of reforest ration.
IL That there are large areas in
other parts of the state only fit for
forestry, which future commercial in
terests may demand the use of for
this purpose.
-. That climatic conditions, while
hindrance in growing certain crops,
do no more than limit The field OF
operation, yet with opportunity for
fairly good returns.
10. That the committee found
large areas which were very rough,
covered wits gravel, stone and huge
bculders. That large areas-in fact a
major portion of the lands which the
committee had an opportunity to in
vestigate are better adapted to fores-
try than 20 farming
IA. Z hat if these areas are used
for forestry it will not interfere in any
way with the agricultural develop
ment, neither should farming inter-
fere with forestry The one should
assist the other.
Is. With 10000, 900 acres unde-
veloped in northern Wisconsin, and
three and quarter million non -agri-
cultural that is % per cent-there is
sufficient land for forestry and yet no
dearth of land left to farm.
16. That there are thousands of
acres of land in northern Wisconsin
which on account of the poor soil and
rough nature will not be used for far
ming in this generation or several to

come.
II. That there is no section or the
state where an attempt at reforestra-
ton can produce quicker illustration
of its possibilities. That soil condi
lions are the very best for a natural
reproduction of pine.
IS. That by reason of the miles of
old logging grades and the hundreds
of lakes, an excellent opportunity is
afforded for the establishment of a
cheap and good fire protection system.
10. That scattering state lands
should be sold and money used to-
ward the purchase of lands in the pro-
posed permanent reserve.
20. That the present work of the
department be confined to the pro-
posed permanent reserve.
p. That small forest reserves in
several districts are not practical on
account of expense of operation.
22 That the present state lands in
the proposed reserve are ample upon
which to demonstrate what can be eX-
pected in this work.
23 That much of the present OPP
position to forestry is occasioned by
the demand for lake frontage.
"a That by reason of the increas-
ed demand the inferior species of tim
Der now growing on state lands Will
be of inestmable value.
25. That none of the timber owned
by the state be sold until mature or
unless there be real demand for the
land for agriculture. That all timber
lands should be conserved.
26. That more recent investigation
| tends to substantiate the claim that
| in order 70 secure uniform stream
| flow, the head waters of our rivers
should be protected with forest
growth That deforestatiOn is con-
| ductive to rapid snow melting and
| stream run-oH
81. That the lands in the proposed
reserve be retained and future pur-
| chases be limited to that area.
%. That agricultural lands, in
areas of 1000 acres or more, now
owned by the state be classified and
+! Immediately offered for sale to actua,
settlers. That said lands be sold
! cheaply, on long terms at low rate
of interest. Sold under some such
provisions as to their occupancy and
improvements as now required under
the United States Homestead law. In
tracts not to exceed 100 acres. In ac-
cordance with bill to be presented.
30 That fifty per cent OF all the
frontage on each lake in the proposed
reserve be held by the state; that no
lake frontage be sold unless classified
as of agricultural value and then only
/ to actual settlers.
80. That the establishment of the
forest reserve has insured the perma-
nent attractiveness of this region for
public recreation purposes.
81. That the present taxation law,
if constitutional, provides adequate
relief to the assessment districts for
the loss of taxes on state lands.
80. That new law for the taxa
ton of private timber lands be enacted
along the lines of bill herewith pres
sented.
SO. That the following depart
ments be consolidated under the head
of a board Of three members to be
| known as the Estate Conservation
Commission:' l. Fish & Game De-
partment; 2. State Board of Forestry !;

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1915-02-17

he report OF the WISCONSIN
Special Legislative Committee on
Forestry has been published in
book form and is being distrib-
uted. A copy reached the News
yesterday from State Forester
E. M. Griffith.
The report as published makes
a 77-page book and tells of the
findings made by the committee
a year ago. Whether or not the
report is unbiased is not for us
to say, but rather let the reader
thoroughly conversant with con
ditions formulate his own opin-
ion.
In the introduction, the report
starts thns: "A storm of protest
was raised i'll Northern Wiscon-
sin BY the statement in the re-
port of the state forester that the
state forestry holdings should be
increased SO that the reserve
would consist of between one
million and one million and
half acres in order to block mp
and consolidate the state lands.
This would take under control
1,289,0O0 acres as follows:
Villas County 49,. 49,. 800, 600
Oneida County 49,. .,...... 345, 600
Forest County 49,. 253, OOO
Iron County .... 10000
Price County ... 10000
Further this sta ement is made:
The announcement of the above
policy, together with the misun-
derstanding brought about by a
lack of knowledge of the inten-
ton of those interested, engen
dered such q feeling, etc.
Also: IAN examination of the
pages of the report of the state
forester (1911 1912 report) will
show concluslvely that it never
was the intention of the forestry
board to cake any but non-agrl-
cultural lands"
The above reads very nice but
we who know, know different.
Why, then, were we compelled IN
the past two years to spend
thousands of dollars in order to
save our entire county from being
re-jungleized. Griffith cannot
deny this.
The report says: 1--WE feel that
every effort should be made to
retain for the use of the people
of the state as much of the lake
frontage as possible and that in
no event should the. state dispose
of more than fifty per cent Of such
lake frontage, meaning thereby
that the state should itself retain
this percentage on each lake.
There are nearly 1000 lakes in
this region) Where such lands
adjoin the lakes, we advise the
retention of 500 feet in depth of
frontage upon said shores to be
held by the state for forestry pur-
posed and such other use as the
forestry board may recommend. ,"

 I hesitated for . moment. I could see very plainly that he had bigger and greater problems to solve for himself than the one l had asked him to solve for me.
 Well, John, what would you suggest for me to do," 1 asked him. There must be some logical way for me to find out what I'm looking for and I know mighty well that you can best tell me what to do."

 Put can't you show me a few of your best styles here" I asked him. "Yes, gladly" he answered and took me out on the sales floor.
 The first model I was shown was made-up in an Oxford grey unfinished fabric, quiet, and dignifed tone The most noticeable feature was that the but tons of the coat were set unusually high, the third button being as high up as the second button usually is The lapels were extremely wide and rolled per- fectly. The pockets were slanted and had flaps. The vest was a five button affair with rolling lapels and flap

pockets. The trousers were cut straight and trifie wider than heretofore.
 Next my friend took me into a beau- tiful room set aside especially for the displays of evening clothes. He called one of his men over and asked him to : try on a certain suit so that I might be able to see more readily its features.
 It was a full-dress suit and one that l think will appeal more to the younger fellows than to the older men. The collar of the coat was unusually tight fitting and quite narrow while the lapels were very wide, forming a striking con trast. The coat was high waisted and the all around effect of the garment 1 think would make the wearer look long-legged. The trousers were cut full, even more so than usual
 The third garment he showed me was an overcoat. A smart double-breasted form fitting model-extremely tight in appearance yet the wearer seemed to have plenty of room. There were two rows o1 large buttons down the front, giving 1t a strikingly classy" effect The color was a mixture or grey and blue, the blue being more in evidence.
 My friend then left me and told me to look through hlS stock Ii l thought there were any points that 1 could pick up that would be of benefit to me in pre- pairing my article.
 The main points that gathered by a rather hurried inspection was that every thing was made soft, that the trousers were a trifie wider but not as full by any means as those of about five years ago, that the vests were cut very low, and by the way there were many double breasted waistcoats.
 The colorings and patterns were very similar to those of last seasons. There were host of Glen Urquhart and Tar tan Plaids, in fact plaids of every kind and variety. The notable addition to this falls color and patterns family are various shades of brown and combina- tions with brown. Greens were also

ovcrplaid effect The coat was full and rcony but lad triflc more severe lines than the Balmacaan. The sleeves were set-in and narrow, distinct change from the sleeves Of a Balmacaan.
 l next visited a very high priced and exclusive tailor happened to come in at just the right moment for they were trying on a very clever suit on an ex- tremeiy well built gentleman. The suit was one-button affair and that button was set very high. The front was rounded and cutaway. The coat was minus all lining and padding Tl-a vest was double breasted and the trousers were straight and narrow.
 From the tailoring establishment went 10 another clothing manufacturing

shown to a great extent in novelty styles.
 About 4 o'clock I left the store where my friend IS employed, with many more valuable style hints than 1 thought 1 would be able to get. He discouraged me somewhat at first but 1 gathered much food for thought in his establish ment.
 The next day l took the suggestion Of my good friend and visited several wholesale clOthiers and custom tailors. l stopped first at very large manu- featuring concern that caters almost cu- tirely to young men. But before going into detail about what 1 saw there should like to describe the clothes of a man l saw on my way down town
 He was an elderly gentleman, about co years of age, 1 should say, and very prosperous looking. He wore a single breasted frock coat, a One-button style with wide but short rolling Iapels The coat was made of grey and black mix ture vlcuna and the trousers were black with silver pin lines. His waistcoat was Of white serge, low cut and single breasted. His scarf was blacl, and he wore an inCOnspicuou5 diamond stick pin. His appearance as a whole was eN- ceedingly neat and dignihed.
 Now getting back to what l saw 1t the young mems clothes manufacturers that morning let me first describe the double breasted business suit l was shown. The coat was very forrn-fitting, quite iong, and had a deep vent in back. The shoulders were entirely unpadded and the laDels were wide and short. Tke vest had , buttons. rolling lapels and was cut low. The trousers were narrow and had permanent cuffs of about 15 inch. This suit came in q salt and pep per mixture of red and tan, the red being very conspicuous.
 They next showed nc a dashing1v smart young men's ovcrcoat. It was made of rough fabric in striking

concern. This firm is one of the largest in the business and specializes mainly in conservative clothes. 1 saw there many garments. ali of which followed pretty closely the general lines of styles that have been popular for many seasons. They were in most instances regular 5 button sack models with short rolling laPeis, slightly form-fittirg backs, me dium low cus vests and quite roomy trousers. The colors chsc1y shown were quiet tones of blues. grcys, browns and stripe and plaid effects.
 Ny next stop was at a wholesale ciothier who makes higher priced gar ments. The showed me first a rich biae serge suit. The front was double breasted with short rolling lapel5 The

bac1, was Norfolk style, very nifty idea. They also showed me an overcoa model. It was extremely form-httin1 and double-breasted. The back fro'I the waist down followed closely th} lines of a sartout (.
 l also visited q number of other tail bring manufacturing and retail clothin} concerns and my general impression ; that the clothes for men this fall ant winter arc very form fitting. The suit l think in most instances are eithc double-breasted or high waisted ant single-breasted. The ovcrcoats will var from tigtt-htting to loose-htting style, Tie favorite colors and patterns will h browns, grcys, blues, greens, stripes, an owe Vlaids.

Turkey. The war to date, according to
conservative estimates compiled from
tho best available reports. has caused
a loss to the various bclligerentS of
more than 100000 men, dead, wound
eel and prisoners, and more than 800
ships. or these about 100 were war
vessels.
The outstanding results on land are
these:
The greater part of Belgium is under
the control of Germany.
Germany has been driven from the
Far East
A part of the Dardanelles is in the
possession of the allied troops.
Part of France and Russia are in

The outstanding results at sea are
these:
German and Austrian mercantile
shipping has been driven from all the

sent to the bottom.
The greater portions Of the German
and allied fleets in the North Sea re-
main intact.
Except for communication through
Holland and the Scandinavian nations,
Germany is cut off from the rest Of

POLICE SEARCHING
FOR HOLD-UP MEN



of the men said to have robbed Mr.
Long to the police, except that both
were colored.
Mr.. Long says he was riding in his
automobile Saturday night with Mrs
Long and son. They returned short
ly before o'clock. Mr.. Long told his
wife that he was going to meet several
friends at the Mechanics Bank. Be-
fore going downtown he drove his car
uptown. He Tas on his way down
Division street to Front when the car
was held up by two colored men.
Struck Over Head
Mr.. Long said the men hit him over
the head with club or iron bar. They
then rifed his pockets. He partly re-
gained his senses and managed to
drive his car home. He went to the
rear door of his home and was ad-
mitted by member of his family. Mr.
Long then. according to his own story
went to the bath room, washed the
blood from his face, called DR.. j.
Ross Swartz and went to bed.
When DR.. Swartz arrived he found
Mr.. Long in a semiconscious condi-
ton and ordered his immediate re-
moval to the hospital.
Detectives White and Murnane were
assigned to the case. They went to
the Long garage and found his bat
tered hat, and blood spots all over
the seat of the car and on the run
ming boards. They also went to Di-
vision street but were unable to find
any signs of a scuffle.
Colonel Joseph b. Hutchison and
| the detectives after a further investi-
cation expressed the opinion that Mr.
Long was hold-up victim and sent
word to nearby towns to watch for
two suspicious colored men.
