TO BUILD GARAGE.
County Board WIN Take Care Of It's
Machinery and Cars.

Al meeting OF the county board OF
supervisors held at the court house
last Tuesday forenoon II was decided
10 build a garage on the lot back OF
the county barn.
The reason for this Is that the coun-
ty road commissioner has a car and
two rollers that run into lot OF
money and under the present condi-
tion OF affairs there is no place for
them excepting the county barn which
was erected for the sheriff and which
is filled with the sheriff's property
most OF the year.
The new garage will have four
stalls with additional floor space and
an entire upper story devoted 70 stor-
age purposes.
Work on the new structure will
commence as soon as the weather and
frost conditions will allow OF the work
being done advantageously.

The audience that greeted Al WA
son al the city hall auditorium was
not as large as II should have been
when the character OF the attraction
is taken into consideration but the fact
that two high priced shows came to
town within a few days OF each other
accounted for the second attraction
not getting its proportionate share OF
the crowd AZ that the hall was three
fourths full
Mr.. Wilson's singing made big hit
with everybody who attended the per.
formance and much favorable com
ment was heard about the city yester-
day on the attraction. Mr.. Wilson's
new songs, MY Killarney Rose" aud
"The Love Give 20 You" were beau.
tifully rendered by Mr. Wilson. We
hope that the company will make a
return engagement here some time.

SOLD IRON RIVER STORE.
Jacobs Bros. Disposed Of Their Busi-
ness TO West Side Man.

The jewelry store which the Jacobs
Bros. have been running at Iron River
for over a year was sold by them last
week to Albert Tegge, jeweler
who has been in the employ OF the
Jacobs Bros. for long time.
The west side branch of this hrm's
business was paying one and the
store and fixtures is rated among the
finest north OF Milwaukee but the ne
cessity for dividing up the attention
OF the firm induced them to make the
sale. Mr.. Sam Jacobs was kept in
Iron River all OF the time and the
road work, which is a large factor in
the business. necessitated one OF the
brothers leaving either one OF their
business places considerable OF the
time.
Mr.. Sam Jacobs came TO Crystal
Falls Tuesday to remain permanent
ly but he will be in Iron River con-
siderably for the next few weeks col
lecting up on accounts that he has
outstanding in that locality.

TURKEY RANCHING.

Turkey ranching is a new industry

turkeys on farms. according TO an ar
ticle in the recently published 1916
Yearbook of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
Exclusive turkey ranching is now
found practically only in the unset
tied foothill regions OF California and
in certain sections OF Arizona and
other Western States. In those re-
gions a few persons are engaged in
raising a thousand or more turkeys a
season. The establishments are To-
Gated where the range Is unlimited

sects. green vegetation. and the seeds
OF various weeds and grasses, is abun-
dant. Advantage also Is taken on
these ranches OF the turkeys relish
for acorns, and where these are plen-
tiful but little grain need be used for
fattening IN the fall.
The large nocks OF turkeys are
managed much like herds OF sheep,
being taken out to the range early in
the morning and brought home to
roost at night. They are herded dur
ing the day by men either on foot or
on horseback, and by dogs especially
trained for the work

WISCONSIN OFFICIALS HERE
Villas County Road Men Want Direct
Route 10 Iron County.

Fred Meloy OF Sayner and J. T
Nemacheck OF Eagle River. the first
mentioned chairman OF the county
road commission and the other mem
ber OF the same body from Villas coun-
ty. Wis, were in Crystal Falls yester-
day in consultation with Engineer
Burirdge and Chairman Holmes OF the
county road commission OF this coun-
~.
The purpose OF the visit OF the two
gentlemen, is TO bring before Iron
county the matter OF a connection be-
tween the roads OF this county and
those Of Villas county. Villas county
is the region OF the great inland lakes
OF Wisconsin, region which annually
attracts thousands OF fishermen and
campers from Chicago and other cities
in northern Illinois and southern Wis
consin.
The road system OF this county is
being rapidly extended for the county
authorities recognize that by the
means OF roads only will this beauti-
full tract be opened TO the world
Rapid progress with road building is
being made in Villas county and by
August l the road which Is extending
east from Eagle River will be at the
Iron county line. The point of meet
ing is opposite to section 33 T43 R37
The survey on this extension will be
started Just as soon as the snow Is OF
the ground and as the end of the ex-
tension now rests but a few miles
from the line the Villas county officials
have little doubt but that they will
get to the line In August
The question with the Iron county
officials Is how best 10 connect with
this system and at the same time do
Iron county the greatest good. The
point az which this contact is made
is almost directly south OF Golden
lake on the Beechwood- -Gogebic road
but whether TO build directly north or
To defect the road in a north-easterly
course is the debatable question. |,
is very probable that the Iron county
authorities will take action TO make
this connection but just when and
where is yet to be determined
II a connection is made with this
Villas county road IL will mean that
Eagle River will be but 50 miles from
Crystal Falls via Iron River and
Hackley. The territory along this
road in Wisconsin is being rapidly
settled up. A colony OF $50 German
families will settle on a tract of land
about ~ miles south OF Lac Wen
Desert this summer. the land now be-
ing blocked out for them.
At Eagle River the main north-and-
south trunk line through Wisconsin Is
picked up which is another object to
be attained by making this connection
The matter Of making this connec.
tion will be taken up at the next coun.
ty road commissioners meeting

Bates Fight Brisk.

In Bates township Charley Olson.
the present supervisor, is being OPP
posed by Adolph Forsberg. II is
claimed that the contest IL taking on
the aspect of wet and dry scrap
with the Rogers mine location on the
wet side and the farmers about the
township on the dry side
There Is rumor OF opposition to Ed.
Wanzer, the supervisor from STAN
baugh township, the story being that
Theodore Waldron is TO oppose him
by the slip route. Nothing has been
given out on this point so it is not
certain that any such program is
planned but Mr.. Wunzer Is on the
watch to head of any opposition that
does spring up.
Mastodon 10 Have Contest.
Coming over on this side of the
county there is going TO be lively
contest in Mastodon township between
Il. G. Bradley and John Erikson. Mr.
Erikson has decided 10 make a try for
the office, running on slips, and every
effort is made by the supporters of
both sides TO get out the vote. II Is
probable that Mastodon will roll up
NE largest vote in it's history this
spring.
In Hematite township there is n
contest between VIM. Burge and
Abraham GIL. Two tickets are in the
field so the fight will be fought out
in the regular way. The contest is
not taking on any OF the spectacular
features OF the usual contests in Hem
attic, as the sides are friendly but
each has its support and close cleo
ton Is predicted.
In Mansfield there is going 10 be
some opposition, tbs said. against Tom
Corbett. John Peterson whom Mr.
Corbett bested in the primary will try
for the Office at the polls.
Complexion Of Board.
There is a possibility OF the make
up OF the county board being very
much changed by the spring elec-
tons There is sure to be one change,
that in Hematite where Mr.. Rowe re-
tires. II new men should be chosen
from Iron River, Stambaugh, Bates
and Mastodon, there will be a maiori-
~ OF the supervisors in the new mem
ber column.
Crystal Falls supervisors will all
be returned, this section being the
only one in which there is no opposi-
tion on supervisor.
