Eagle River as a Resort
Center.

Eagle River, ideally located in the
region of seven Thousand lakes, is re-
garded as the most popular resort
center in Northern Wisconsin. It's
beautiful scenery, the cool, comfort
able climate, and the good fishing is
a temptation the city people cannot
resist People from all parts of the
United States come up to the North
ern Woods for recreation, and at the
end of their vacation, return to the
city in the best of health.
Most of the resorts are located on
the chain of lakes, and thus the
people staying here can go from one
lake to the other by boat. Good
automobile roads connect all the
lakes, so the tourist can go to any
lake in the vicinity in a short time.
Many different varieties of fish
thrive in the northern lakes and
rivers. The angler can, therefore,
fish for the kind which involves the
the most sport in catching. The
lover of sports can find enough sport,
the one who wants relaxation can
find quiet peace.
Therefore all the local people
should be very careful about destroy
ing anything that helps to make
scenery beautiful. The scenery lures
all the city folks here, and this in
creases the wealth of the town All
the tourists spend a great deal of
money here, and if things are attract
i've it will tempt many more to come.
The roads must also be improved SC
the people can drive thru the woods
and enjoy the beautiful works of
nature. CERT.

that the women will get behind the
movement for a local market center.

STEAL FOUR CARS
Wholesale Collection of Autos
in Topeka Saturday.
Thieves Capture Two Motors
During Daylight Hours.

The police are investigating the theft
of four automobiles Saturday after
noon and evening. These stolen cars
represent at least $4,000 in cash.
The thieves apparently weren't wor-
ried about being detected and didn't
select the night hours for their work.
One machine was taken Saturday
morning. Another disa ppeared Satur-
day afternoon after the thieves had
eaten their dinner. Another walked
away early Saturday evening and the
fourth deserted its owner late Satur-
day night. The thefts were commit
ted on the main streets of Topeka.
William Usher, Eighteenth and Oak
ley streets, drove his car to Seventh
street and Kansas avenue Saturday
morning. He left it in front of che
knights and Ladies of Security build
ing. At noon he went after his ma
chine. 1t was gone. 1t is q Haynes
car.
Ammon Dietrich of Silver Lake
drove into Topeka Saturday afternoon
in his Ford machine. He went into
the Cozy theater. When he walked out
of the theater his machine had disap-
peared.
o. w. Bolton, 211 Elmwood. drove
down town Saturday evening early to
see the show at the Orpheum theater.
He parked his car on Eighth avenue.
At 9 o'clock he walked over to where
he had left his Buick machine. 1t
was gone.
DR.. and Mrs. c. B. Van Horn, 1915
Mulvane street, drove down to the doc
tors office in the Mills building about
8 o'clock Saturday evening. They left
the building at IL o'clock and found
their Buick machine gone. The same
car was stolen several months ago. It
was found abandoned several miles
out of Topeka the first time. No trace
has been detected this time

is TOPEKA PROGRESSIVE?

Is Topeka as progressive as the
United States government?
This question will be answered by
the action taken by the city officials
in leasing a flying field for govern
ment postal service aviators, or in
turning down the offer of the govern
ment to place this city on the air mail
map.
The United States government un-
doubtedly believes there is real fu-
ture to aerial transportation. 1t is
spending millions Of dollars establish
ing postal routes and is offering to put
Topeka on one of these routes at alb
solutely no cost to the city except that
of providing a field on which aviators
can land. The government is even Of
fering to go so far as to furnish ma
terial for the erection of hangers. and
there is a possibility that it will es-
tablish big station here and give
Topeka a reserve flying corps.
But it is understood the city COM
missioners are hanging back and
thinking of refusing the government
offers simply because they will have to
raise $4,000 a year for field rental.
If the members of the city commits
sion had been at washburn college
Sunday night they certainly would
realize the great interest Topekans are
taking in flying. There were approx
imately 500 automobiles parked on the
campus with their occupants watch
ing the aviators take off and land and
a continual stream of cars passed thru
the gates all while the airplanes were
flying.
Caution, carefulness and conserva-
tism are to be commended wherever
found and the city commissioners are
to be praised for saving every dollar
they can to taxpayers. But penury is
never a virtue and saving a few dol
lars at the expense of progress is moi
the kind of tonic on which cities grow
large and prosperous.
Even If no other benefits accrue the
advertising Topeka will get from be-
ing on the government air service mail
maps will be worth more than the
81, 900 a year the city commissioners
are asked to provide.

TO TALK
Mill Operators Stay Away From
Strike Conference.
No Prospect of Settlement of
Cereal Workers Disagreement.

Prospects of a settlement of the ce-
real workers strike in Topeka has ap-
parently taken a back seat. A meet
ing of mill owners and strikers was
scheduled to be held this morning in
Labor hall but before the hour ar
rived the managers advised the strik-
ers that they could not consider the
propositions to be offered and that
they would not be present.
No change in the situation was re-
ported today. The teamsters still re-
fuse to haul flour from the mills and
the Bakers union contends that it will
not use flour made by the Topeka
mills concerned in the strike after next
Saturday, unless it proves impossible
to obtain union flour outside of To-
peka.
J. A. Clayton, international repre-
sentative of the cereal workers. an
nounced today that the union would
stick to its original demands. This
was the proposition turned down by
the operators this morning. Clayton
asserted that the men would not re-
turn to work until the operators come
across
Police Protect Property.
No counter proposals to the pro-
posal of J. H. Crawford, state labor
commissioner, have been made.
The Topeka police force today took
its first real step in an effort to pro-
tect the public in the cereal workers
strike when every police officer in
the city was summoned to police head
quarters. There it was announced
that the men not on duty would be
required to remain at headquarters.
ready for any emergency.
I'VE don't anticipate any trouble" F"
said Chief Hannah today. But we're
going to be ready for it,
This action follows more than a
week of alleged violence at the vari-
Gus mills. This violence so far has
resulted IN the arrest of two men on
warrants. one warrant remaining at
police headquarters for four days be-
fore it was served. One union picket
accused of throwing rocks at trans
fer men was taken to police head
quarters. He was sent there and after
sitting around the lobby for a few
hours was told to go home.
