Nabbed DeSerter.

Postmaster J. G. Holland of Phelps,
called up the Review office last even
ing to say that he had in custody, an
Indian, by the name OF Pine, one Of
the Oneida county draft quota leav-
ing Rhinelalder one night last week,
who at the depot vamoosed shortly
before the train left, leaving no trace
at the tim9. AS Jerry has a well
known reputation for rounding up
fugitves from the law, he naturally
began a still hunt for Mister Red Man
with the above result and will hold
him until the arrival of the authori-
ties in search of him. Phelps seems
to be a favorite point of refuge for
parties wishing to keep under cover,
why, we hardly understand as none Of
them ever get more than nicely hid
den away before the unfeeling Hol-
land ''gloms' onto them.

Dear Brother:-..
Received ayouras nice
long letter this morning. andss was
glad to hear from the folks back home.
You see mail is about all that we get
here to keep the blues away during
the first three weeks, because we are
in quarantine while we get the three
shots in the arm, !" one each week to
make us immune to contagious dis
eases and to safeguard our health.
But have had two shots and get my
third Saturday and with the exception
of little soreness they never hurt a
bit. Some Of the other fellows were
reported to the hospital for several
days after each shot.
Just word about my trip here.
From Eagle River to Chicago the trip
was uneventful and alone, but at that
city / met thirty other Wisconsin
boys all bound for Sackett's Harbor.
We had a special car from Chicago
right through to the barracks which
made it very nice. Left Eagle Tues
day morning and arrived at the bar
racks Thursday morning. Passed
through many large cities lsee moth

RESORT OWNERS MEET
Association Members Enjoy
Sunptuous Spread at
Coon's Resort.

From Ell. G. Frank, proprietor OF
the we'll known Maple Grove resort on
Lac Vieux Desert, we learned on his
re turn from attending the Resort
Owners Association meeting at Camp
Franklin, G. j. Coon's resort On Trout
lake Tuesday, that an attendance of
IA turned out and plans for conduct
ing the business in a way beneficial
to both the resorts and their patrons
formulated and that the advance
bookings Of every member Indicate q
prosperous season for 1918. Mr..
Frank, who recently returned from a
winters sojourn in California, report
ed very enjoyable trip from every
standpoint.
The meeting at Trout lake Tuesday
was the biggest one in the history Of
the association. Resort men and their
wives had the opportunity to meet
and exchange views for the better
ment of resort conditions as never
before and the day was a red letter
one in the annals of the association.
No better meeting place for such an
event could have been chosen. Camp
Franklin is one of Northern Wiscon-
sins most picturesque summer re-
sorts. Situated in the heart of the
scenic Trout lake region, it's natural
beauties are it's biggest asset and UNI
der the management of Mr.. Coon and
his estimable wife the affair was
highly successful.
A sumptuous dinner was served in
the rustic dining hall and proved to
be feature for which the host and
hostess are justly famed The meet
ing of the resort owners accomplished
much for the organization. Besides
regular business transacted the get-to-
gether spirit engendered and the in
terchange Of ideas completed a big
day and attained results that will re-
dound to the benefit of the organiza-
tion.
The large attendance proves the
popularity of holding the different
meetings at the various resorts thru
out the lake region, rather than at
the county seat as had been the
prevalent custom heretofore.
