MARRIAGES ARE LEGAL
Attorney General Says You
Are Safely Tied, Even if
Wed Outside Wisconsin.

Marriages of Wisconsin resi-
dents outside of the state are
legal, according to an opinion of
Attorney General John J. Blaine,
filed in circuit court in Milwau-
kee last week. Milwaukee Judges
had disagreed as to the validity
of such marriages. The attorney
general stated that "the general
rule of law unquestionably is
that a marriage valid where it is
celebrated is valid anywhere. :"
He adds that "to this rule, there
are two neutrality-suspicious. which
are well recognized-marriages
which are deemed contrary to
the law of nature as generally
recognized by christian civilized
states and marriages which this
law making power of the forum
has declared shall not be allowed
validity on grounds of public
policy"

TRUNK LINE HIGHWAYS
State Commission to Take
Over State Line-Waters-
meet Highway Also the
Phelps-Iron River Route.

A very enthusiastic meeting Of
interested highway men and bus
mess men was held at the court
house last week Wednesday.
when the state highway commits
sion gave hearing on the pro-
posed establishment ofnew trunk
lines through Villas county.
The commission is holding
hearings at every county seat in
the state for the purpose of Sc
curing information that will
guide them in rearranging and
adding to the state trunk high
way systems. Twenty-Five hun
dred miles will be added to the
present state highway system OF
5, 900 miles.
At this meeting last Wednes-
day it was urged to make the
highway between Eagle River,
Phelps and Iron River a part OF
the state system, together with
the highway from Eagle River,
State Line to Watersmeet.
The shortcut from here to
Iron River by way of Phelps is
certainly a feasible request, as it
shortens the route to the east
section of Upper Michigan TWEEN
tv-one miles over. splendid high
way. From Eagle River by way
Of Phelps to Iron River is forty
six miles; from Eagle River by
way of Watersmeet to Iron Xiv
er is sixty-seven miles. The route
to Iron River by Phelps is over a
new road that is said to be ex-
ira good and it certainly should
be placed in the system
The route to Watersmeet also
should be made a trunk line. If
it is made so, it will mean the
bringing of such traffic through
this section, which now goes
from Hurley southeast through
Wisconsin to Chicago, and south
to Chicago from Iron River.
The county of Gogebic, Michi-
gan, has taken over the town
road from Watersmeet south to
State Line and will rebuild and
gravel it within the next year.
Bv all means both the high
way from Eagle River to Waters
meet and from Eagle River by
way of Phelps to Iron River
should be made trunk lines.

START SHEEP RANCH
Baseball Magnate Said to
Consider Establishing a
Sheep Ranch Near Three
Lakes.

According to the Hurley Miner
of last week, Charles Comiskey
will embark in sheep near Three
Lakes, if he can make the pur-
chase of a suitable tract of real
estate. That paper says:
Charles A. Comiskey, famous
baseball magnate and owner OF
the Chicago White Sox, is con
sidering the purchase of a large
tract of land in Oneida county
on which to establish a sheep
ranch and a private game pre-
serve, says a dispatch from
Rhinelander. The land is located
near Three Lakes, in the heart oil
the resort country. 1t is said
that there are more than
100000 acres in the tract. Sew
eral lakes, we'll stocked with
fish, are adjacent. For many
years the cold Roman" has
maintained an elaborate hunt
ing lodge at Trude lake, west OF
Mercer, in this county, known as
Camp Jerome. Members of the
White Sox and sporting men
from all over the United States
have frequently been entertained
at this estate. Comiskev, it is
understood, has sold Camp
Jerome and now desires to es-
tablish new camp in Oneida
county.

Something Just as Good
By James j. Montague

Dor Judson one afternoon in early
July See this stuff in this pack
age? Know what it is? I'll bet you
don't. It's the makings of a still
the fine and dandiest little still you
ever laid eyes on"
What do | do with il? Why. I
make my liquor with I. that's all
and there's no power on earth that
can stop me.
It's the easiest thing in the world
When l want brandy / put in peach
e. and grapes. light the lamp. say
presto couple of times and when
! turn the tap. out flows the drink
For whisky l put in grain-Oats for
Scotch. rye for rye. corn for bour-
bon, etc. and she costs me just about
a cent a drink, whereas. under the
GOOD old wet days they used to
nick me for 80 to 20 cents for
the same quantity of inferior pois-
on. oh. l guess / don't know any
thing. l don't. I'm foolish, l am. 4"
Thus spake Judson, and having
spoken got off the trolley car and
carried his still into his home That
night there cleaned a light in an
attic window OF his house-gleamed
till far past midnight. and now and
then l would hear Judson rambling
about the cellar far below. and call
ing upstairs TO ask Mrs. Judson what
the devil she did with those cans of
peaches.
The next morning Judson issued
gayly from his home She's a won
der" he told me. "All she's got TO
do is 10 set-just set for five hours
and when the boys come up for that
game of draw tonight they will have
no complaints about my hospitality
And 10 think OF these poor suckers
that have been buying it at mining
camp prices and storing it, when
they can make it themselves as easy
as a fire cracker can make a noise
The boys assembled at Judson' s
for the poker party. The night pass
ed and part of the day and they
remained within his house. II look
ed like a good party. At > p. m. the
family doctor drove up. At 5:15 two
other doctors arrived. lat o'clock
there came a specialist, at Z o'clock
"a boy with an oxygen tank
BY that time the neighbors had
begun TO take notice-especially the
children. There was a throng about
the JudsOn residence. which the pO-
liceman on the beat kept in order
with difficulty. We could hear-for
we are very close neighbors-the
tread of hurrying feet through the
Railways of the Judson mansion, the
short. sharp commands of the doc
