The storm of last Thursday and
Friday stopped the plans OF the sleigh
ride party to Eagle River Friday eve
ling for the purpose Of attending the
lance there. About Is young people
we're to participate in the ride.
Monday evening about thirty
couples gathered at the Lake View
hall to attend the last dance before
Lent which started March 5th. The
music was furnished by local talent.
K. c.. handled the drums in his snap
py way, and the tall boy, whom the
writer does not know by name, surely
could pull the misrepresentation
me-" A pleasant evening was spent.
Certain young people in Phelps have
decided not to chance snOw-shoeing
on Big Twin lake any more this win
ter after listening to Dell McGregor's
experience of Monday afternoon. Dell
struck some thin ice and got wet feet
and a big scare while he was side
stepping for solid footing out in the
middle of the lake. We do not be-
lieve in these mid-winter ice wayer
plunges up here.
Last Thursday and Friday Phelps
was visited by one of the hardest biz
yards of the winter. The storm Start
ed late Wednesday evening and kept
storming this place until late Friday.
About foot of snow fell There be-
ing a heavy wind, all open spaces
were drifted badly. The. Company
engines and plows were kept busy
clearing the tracks so as to keep the
mill in operation.
The death of Mrs. Emma G. Hnson
occurred at the home of her daugh.
ter, Mrs. G. E. Hazen, Long Lake
Lodge, four miles east of Phelps,

heart trouble and bronchitis. Mrs.
Huson was born in WATERFOWL, NY,
81 years ago. For the past sixty years
she had resided at Waldo, Wis. Mrs.
Hnson came to Phelps about three
months ago for her health, but she
failed steadily and the end of a long
and useful life came Tuesday. Four
children survive. They are: Mrs.

was held.
Last Sunday evening in the Lake
View hall E. I. Weed presented to a
packed house "The Kaiser-the Beast
of Berlin" drama that has received
considerable mention in the different
movie houses throughout the states.
This picture explains kaiserism as
the small and helpless country of Bel
GUM found it in the Great War. The
production is made intensely thrilling
and exciting by explaining the heart
rending and horrible cruelty that was
inflicted upon women and children. 1t
is a picture that proves to all Red,
White and Blue Americans the world
empire dream of the kaiser and his
barbaric efforts to realize it. Music
for this entertainment was furnished
by the Phelps orchestra, which was
organized short time ago. The
orchestra is progressing rapidly and
with a few more rehearsals there will
be a little town in Villas county that
can boast of having an orchestra equal
to any town of it's size in the state.
Mr.. Paquette is director and under
his able instruction the organization
is bound to make good. The people Of
this community are of the get-togeth-
er class and this is clearly shown by
the way they have backed up the
numerous entertainments that have
taken place here in the past few
weeks. Be a booster and we will
boost together. Knock, and you knock
alone.
