Board Trip Next Week

All arrangements have been
completed fol- the trip to be
taken by the members of the
county board over the county
system of highways. The mem
bers will start on their trip next
Tuesday morning.
The route as laid out is as
follows: Leaving this city the
members will go by automobile
to Bay field where the roads in
that vicinity will be visited dur
ing the morning and the party
will proceed to Port Wing where
they will have late dinner dul-
ing the early afternoon. The run
to Iron River will be made dur
ing the afternoon and all roa DIS
in the north end of the county
will be inspected during the
first day.
The board members will put
up at Iron River on the first
night. Leaving Iron River
Wednesday morning the mem.
bers will visit the roads west
of Iron River, returning to Iron
River for noon lunch. The trip
through the town of Barnes in
the direction of Cable will be
made during the afternoon OF
the second day and the Board
will again rest at Cable during
the night.
The trip from Gable north
will start on the morning of the
third day and all roads leading
to the county system will be in
spected during the morning and
it is proposed to arrive in Wash
burn shortly after the noon
hour.
The board may decide to hold
a meeting at the court house in
this city on the afternoon OF the
third day.
It is believed that the money
expended in taking the county
board over the system of high
ways will be money we'll ex-
pended. About the only knowl
edge the majority of the men,
bers have had regarding the
roads of the county is what they
have learned through committee
reports.

place, are dominciled in the ancient
house of logs that stands back from
the roadside near the lake shore.
The site is pretty one and the en-

business.

into his right foot one day last week
and has been "out of the running

the small toe and penetrated far
to the foot, making wound that
will be very slow in healing.
Frank Stark, who is extensively
interested in mining properties in
the west, left here Tuesday after
noon on trip that will take him to
