NATIONAL OLD TRAILS
 NEW LIBERTY HIGHWAY

What is to be known as the Liberty Highway will soon have it's dedication. This route is to run from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Pasadena, Cali fornia, and the route is to be agreed on at conventions to be held through out the country. The road will be a memorial to the boys who went across the big pond to fight the Hun.
 Just what the projectors of the route mean by a sectional conven- tion," is not understandable, as there must be some purposeful view of the route before any convention can act, especially if it is a sectional affair. Each section might want the road to run through its particular section without regard to whether connection would be made or not. From the fact that the road has been designated as far as Liberty, Mo-, we would take it that the projectors intend to boost the National Old Trails Road as part of the highway, as this road has been built in part as far west as Illinois, most of the roadway being concreted. Every effort is being made to build the road through Missouri, Illinois,

AUSTRALIA'S GOLD

The government of Australia has
 taken the ban off gold shipments and
 as consequence the gold miners of that commonwealth have organized to take advantage of the gold necessities ot other countries. Certificates against gold deposits made at the fl govern ment hints will be sold in foreign countries and in the event that prem iums are secured the organization will divide the profits among its members. It is the opinion of the gold producers of the Australian states that gold is sure to go to premium, as some gold was sold above the coinage value when offered for sale in that country last year. The necessity for gold in the countries of the world is growing daily and unless stabilized by the var ious countries on a gold basis there is no telling where the price will stop. Not even the free coinage of silver would prevent gold soaring to lofty nights.

AFTER MANY YEARS
 TAKES FIRST LOOK

After seven years absence from the Goldfield and Tonopah country, in which he emassed considerable for tune, J. P. Loftus went back to take look at the wonderful camp of Di- vide. Mir. Loftus came to Oatman several years ago and engaged in min ing in the Secret Pass section, having erected and operated mill on a gold property. In conversation with Goldfield Tribune reporter Mr. Loftus is quoted as having said:
 "lt all seems very strange and be- yond belief that right here on the roadway that links Goldfield and Ton opah, the twin camps, that have loom- ed so large in the mining world for nearly 20 years, each greater than the other, there should now spring up be- tween them another greater than either. But so it certainly is. Today l went into the heart of this new wealth. As we stood in the great crosscut on the third level of the Ton opah Divide, 90 feet from wall to wall, and no walls, realizing that from be- low they were raising to this point no feet, and breaking better than $1OO a ton for its entire height, we found in memory or experience none but the great Comstock fit standard of com parison. Cut the reported value in two and here is $2,0OO,O0O on this lev el. for they have opened the ore for 42O feet in length. And below us on the fourth-it is not much opened yet | but here they say the ore has doub- led in value-$4,0 ,000, 900, a total of $6,- COG, 1000. and the work is only just begun. They went 2,200 feet on the Comstock to get the 6OO,O00,O0O it produced. But it is doubtful if the Comstock's first 400 feet showed what is seen at Divide

Kansas and Colorado, these states hav- ing lined up their counties to build a hard surfaced road from one state line to the other. As northern Arizona now has the only highway that can be used for automobile traffic and as the road if concreted or hard surfaced would carry travel all the year we see no reason why the Liberty Highway will not be the first of the great road ways across Arizona.

INSPECTING HIGHWAYS
Villas County Board Start On
Three Day Inspection Tour
of Highways.

Preparatory to placing some
thing over thirty more miles of
state and county highways uu-
der federal supervision, the entire
county board of Villas county
started this morning on three
day inspection tour of the coun-
tvs system of 131 miles of high
way.
To date the present system has
63 miles under federal supervis-
ion and the board expects to
add over thirty miles more.
1t is understood that the feder-
al government will give us some
thing like $18O,OOO for high
ways, providing the county will
put up one-third of that amount,
This will probably be done by
another bond issue at meeting
of the board.

geant, to which rank chad been
promoted shortly after his sec
ond enlistment. At the battle of
Chickamauga his command lost
their rear battery, and he was
wounded and taken prisoner,
but he soon made his escape.
Mr.. Graham's eyesight had been
weakened during his service in
the army, and for a few years he
did little work. His first bust
ness venture was the manufac-
turing of slaves and headings, in
Chiffon, Wis, which he carried
on twelve years. at the end of
that time going to Amigo, where
he was employed as surveyor
and woodsman, entering pine
lands, some two years. In 1882
he came to Eagle River, then in
Oneida county, being one of the
first settlers here, and since that
time has been engaged in lumber
ing and surveying.
Mr.. Graham was a republican IN
politics, and an active man in his
section, having since 1885 been
county surveyor of Oneida coun-
ty, and since its organization OF
Villas county; also serving as
chairman Of the town and coun-
tv board, court commissioner,
justice of the peace, and in other
offices. In 1898 he was one OF
those instrumental in having vi
las county set off from Oneida
county, and he is universally
recognized as one of the most en-
terprising citizens in the locality.
In 1884 Mr.. Graham was unit

PURCHASED BIG TRACT
Entire Holdings of Montgom-
cry Ward Company Near
State Line Sold to w. A.
Curtis & Co.

A big transfer in timber hold
ings has been made near State
Line, Michigan, twenty miles
north of Eagle River W. A.
Curtis of Chicago has purchased
personally the Montgomery
Ward timber holdings amount
ing to ten thousand acres of ex-
cellent pine and hardwood-a
virgin tract in fact located in Co.
gebic county, Michigan. This
tract is located but a short dis
tance from State Line.
Vim. A. Curtis & Co., will log
on these holdings the first year,
later on intending to erect a
large manufacturing plant for
the handling of their operations.
They have entered into a con-
tract to supply the Montgomery
Ward people with all the box
Inmber they will put to use in
their Chicago plant.
The new company are now
building camps and will operate
the timber with one hundred
men this winter.
A railroad will also be built
through this big tract emhrac-
ing five miles of trackage. 1t is
estimated that this timber will
require about ten years in the
cutting and handling.
AS this timber surrounds Duck
lake, one of the beautiful bodies
of inland water which this north
country is noted for, the Curtis
company will not log the heavily
wooded shores, but will leave
the shore | mes intact as it now
is with a virgin hardwood fringe.
1t is understood that the lake
shores will be plated and an eff
fort made to promote summer
home people to locate. Likewise
the cut-over tracts will be open
ed for colonization in the agri-
cultural line. This can easily be
done, as the soil is heavy and
lies very near the railroad.
Mr.. Curtis and his son Willard
were in Eagle River the latter
part of last week.

WILL BUILD NEW ROAD
Yale Land Company to Con-
struct Highway for Con-
venience of Their Colony
of Farmers.

A new highway for the conven-
fence Of their colony of settlers
will be built this fall and next
spring by the Yale Land compa-
ny of Minneapolis. This high
way which runs through the
companv's holdings will start
somewhere at the head of the Big
Tamarack river in section 25,
range 10, and run almost due
east to Rummeles station and
connect with the highway there.
w. Y. Dennis, president of the
Yale Land Co., Of Minneapolis
was up in the Tamarack district
last week inspecting the work
being accomplished by the new
farmers which the company has
placed the past few years. The
new sawmill they intend to start
running this winter is located
near the farm operated by Olson
Bros. 1t is also stated that
within a few seasons a potato
warehouse will be erected at
Rummeles to care for the farm
er's product.

OWNS BIG HOLDINGS
Minneapolis Man to Identify
Himself With Villas Coun-
tvs Ups and Downs as Ag-
riculturalist.

On a lake about one mile south
of Black Oak, which to the old
timers is known as Pickerel lake,
but which has been changed to
Lake Alice, G. c. Williams of
Minneapolis has concluded to
erect himself and children suit
able homes for permanent resi-
dence in the town of State Line,
Villas county.
Mr. Williams farm holdings,
which embrace eleven hundred
acres and surrounds Lake Alice,
will mean much to him within a
few years especially when he has
a big tract cleared and under ac-
tive cultivation, raising the big
prize winning spuds that are
placing Villas county in the top
most ranks ofcountiesin the state
of Wisconsin. The lands up in
that part of the county are
mighty well adapted to the cul-
ture of spuds and while other
farmers are making a success of
the game, it is therefore proven
to Mr.. Williams that he is max
ing no mistake.
The Williams families will ar
rive from Minneapolis within
two weeks time and begin work
on their new farm, clearing land
and erecting suitable farm homes
and buildings. The future of
State Line, as an agricultural
town in the best little county in
the state, is certainly assured, at
least if one is to note the many
improvements being made lately,
