Nothing Stopped Him.

Too much snow for tin liz
ard; no team of horses obtain
able, and what was he going to
do when a trip from Sayner to
Eagle River was absolutely nee
essary. Very easy. Hitching a
sleigh behind his Ford tractor to
carry repairs he wanted to bring
over, Bert Warner sailed along
on high speed from that little vii
lage in the central part of the
county to the county seat Mon
day, finished up his business and
beat it home. The distance from
Sayner to Eagle River by speed
ometer is twenty-five miles, and
the trip was made in record time
at that. When you put one over
on the North Woods guy, you
surely hit high pace in doing it.

Did He See His Shadow.

There is great controversy
on over "Did Br'er Grounding
See His Shadow" Some say he
did, and try to prove their asser-
ton; others say it is dadbinged
fabrication for he did not, be-
cause the sun only appeared very
early in the morning of Feb. End,
and old-timers, affirm that the
grounddog was never an early
riser, therefore he was in bed
when the sun shown. Go to it,
you fellows who have the know
how. We don't know anything
about it.

TWO NEW INDUSTRIES
A Bank and Cheese Factory
Now Under Formation in
the Village of Phelps.

Information is being passed
out that Phelps, the thriving vii
lage seventeen miles north of the
county seat of Villas county, has
two new industries in the max
ing by the time spring arrives.
Already a down-state repre-
sentative has been interviewing
the people in that community re-
garding the operation of a cheese
factory there. Assurances have
been given this promoter that
the farmers will back it up. 1t
will not be stock company, but
will be built and operated by the
party interested.
On top of this there is now un-
der way plans for the establish
ment of a bank in Phelps by in
terested men who understand
the banking business.
With these two new industries
Phelps will soon rival the famous
little village of Elcho, wherein
Charley Fish, that fellow with
more pep than seven average
men, lives and is credited with
the placing of Elcho on the map.
Want to give Fish fair warn
ing that he wants to keep his eye
upon Villas county, and especial
ly Phelps or his laurels will GER
tainly be stolen in a fight for SUI
premacv.

BIG LIVESTOCK PLAN
Northern Wisconsin Is to Be
Made Grazing Grounds for
Cattle and Sheep-Using
Vacant Cutover Lands.

A plan to convert northern
Wisconsin into one of the great
est dairy and sheep centers in the
country is proposed by Henry A.
Ferry, representative of Clover
land, northern Michigan live
stock Journal. The plan is to
bring western cattle men to the
northwest to use clover covered
cut-over lands as grazing pas
lures for thousands of cattle and
sheep shipped for the Chicago
market.
Michigan has made the expert
ment and has succeeded. There
are forty-three large cattle own
ers in that state and forty more
have made application for lands
there for grazing purposes. AL
ready much of the available land
in the upper peninsula has been
utilized and these people were
last year forced to send three
men with cattle to Wisconsin to
obtain more.
Villas county cutover lands will
be utilized this year by some OF
the owners for sheep grazing.

ARE MOLESTING DEER
Report is That Deer in the
Range Line Section Are
Being Hunted at This Time
of the Year.

How true the report is that
deer are being hunted northwest
of Eagle River at this timeof the
year, has not been verified. Still
it is claimed by several who say
they have seen evidences of illeg-
al hunting; that it is being car
ried on Unfortunately.
Where the hunting is said to be
done, is in the big swamp east of
Range Line lake northwest of
Eagle River, a favorite place
where deer yard each winter. 1t
is big swamp which runs from
the west bank of the Wisconsin
river east to near Scott. Where
deer are found in ward" it is
very easy to kill them. No good
sport will shoot a deer at this
time of the year, as the meat is
valueless.
