Development Association

An organization that should be
able to do a good deal for the village
of Eagle River is the recently or
ganized Development Association
An auxiliary of the Upper Wisconsin
Development Association, by work
in unison with that body a great deal
can be accomplished in the next few
years that will be Of benefit to Eagle
River and Villas county. AS a purely
local organization there are many
things that can be properly taken up
with satisfactory results. AS ar in
stance of its value to the community
the move now under way to incor-
porate as a village shows what CO.
operation can do over the individual
and single handed method of trying
to reach the same results. The pres
ent membership of about 100 is com
posed of men whose interests are
all in Eagle River, and in advanc-
ing those interests they will also adj
vance those of their neighbors. If
you are not yet member you should
become a member and help the good
work along.

Farm Women to Aid
in Land=Clearing Work
C-S Club of Farm Women Will
Conduct Land Clearing Con-
test in 1921 for Villas
County Farmers.

The C-S Club of Farm Women is
staging land clearing contest to be
held in the year 1921.
The club is in receipt of a letter
from John Swenehart, director of the
and-clearing office at Bayfield,, assur-
ing that he will be glad to meet mem
bers and consult with them in regard
to the work, on January 9Th, 1921.
AS will be remembered, the College
Of Agriculture received an appropri-
alton from the state legislature, for
land-clearing demonstration work and
has gone forward in a most credit
able way It teaches the farmers OF
the north how to clear land with the
least expense of labor and money.
The College of Agriculture has es-
tablished a land-clearing office at
bayfield, with John Swenehart in
charge. Successful contests have been
held in Sawyer Marinette, Taylor

Eagle Machine Works and Garage

Eagle Machine Works and Garage
Eagle River has long been in need
of a thoroughly equipped machine
shop that could handle anything in
the repair line, or, as is often the
necessary case, build or make new
parts for saw mills, tractors, autos,
or any of the numberless breakdowns
that occur where anything of the
kind is in use. It will soon have a
plant of this kind in operation to be
known as the Eagle Machine Works
and Garage, under the supervision of
T. j. Thrun.
He recently returned from Chicago
where he purchased full shop
equipment for the purpose and the
machinery is on the way now. When
it arrives he will install it temporari-
ly in the Eagle Forge and in the
Gpring he will build concrete build
ing especially for the purpose. Any
one. who has been familiar with
Eagle River in the past twenty-five
years knows what Ferd Thrun can
do with worn out or broken casting
or machine part, SO it is needless to
say that his new undertaking will
meet with approval and liberal pat
ronage.

drainage, they are perhaps the best
set of logging camps ever construct
ed in this section.
Following the old Indian trail from
State Line, you cross a nice creek,
and make sharp turn in the road
and behold, you think you have struck
small village. First comes the office
and store, then the kitchen and din
ing room, then large sleeping rooms,
and laundry and reading room. Far
Their on are two large barns and the
blacksmith shop, which with other
necessary outbuildings complete
Camp No. 1. The sleeping rooms are
provided with iron beds constructed
double, one above the other, but in
single style, so that every man sleeps
alone. Every bunk is provided with
first class springs and mattresses, and
are superior to many hotels.
This camp from which all direct
woods work is done holds 100 men
and will be kept to full capacity;
the other camp, which is called the
Landing Camp or Camp 2, is where
the logs will be loaded, and holds So
men.
We don't know how to describe the
table, but judging from the number
of people who are always ready to
go up when chance offers, would say
that the meals there could not be

EaaIe River Lumber Co.

The Eagle RIVER Lumber Company
which began business here On Dec. 4,
1913, has been an important factor in
helping to build up the vicinity OF
Eagle River since their mill got in
operation They now have complete
and modern mill having added to its
capacity every year and have just re-
ceived a new boiler which will in
crease the daily cut to 10000 feet
next year They still have five year
cut of their own timber and are buy
ing more all the time. Farmers find
this mill a great convenience, as they
can get their own logs cut for build
ing purposes, and each year the Gus
tom, patronage is steadily growing.

ETayward's Philosophy
' E. E. HayM ard. Conover. \

What a privilege it is to be placed
here On earth
And partake of its pleasures
awhile;
To add one small mite to it's joy and
mirth,
And to bring to some sad face a
smile
So be gentle and kind, never cruel,
IT'S easy enough if you try;
Each day you live right, adds
jewel
TIC the crown you shall wear bye
and bye.
Consider the rights of all others,
Being honest in every deal;
Smile and greet all as your brothers,
And see how much better you feel.
One thing alone makes life worth
living,
'Tis just the privilege of giving;
For all we shall have on the
judgment day,
Are the few small things we have
given away.

a horse or team at any time. The
Rhinelander Horse Co. Of which
Frank Mile. of that city is the man
ager, an expert judge of horsefesh
and who when occasion demands can
turn 'em around on a race track, saw
the opportunity for extending bust
ness by establishing a branch barn
here and last March opened sales
barn with S. E. Phillips in charge,
and have since kept on hand from
fifteen to thirty horses which are sold
on easy terms and strictly guaranteed
to the buyer They also outfit those
who are in the market with harness
and wagons Since March they have
done a local business of $685. and
handled 1872 horses. Last summer
they started another branch at Iron
River and we understand are doing
a very satisfactory business there.
Both barns are supplied from Rhine
lander where fresh stocks are main
tanned by men on the road all the
time in southern Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota buying horses adapted to
the needs of the trade. Town people
do not appreciate as much as farmers
the advantages of sales barn close
at hand where they can buy just what
they need at any time or exchange
anything not suitable for what they
want, without the expense and incon-
venience of a trip of some distance.
However, the fact that it employs sew
eral men who live here and spend
their money means a good deal to
Eagle River, and. is a convenience in
that teams can always be secured for
hauling and other purposes which
before the location of the barn here
it was often impossible to do.

1920 Year Of Progress
for This Community
Wisconsin Michigan Lumber Co
Mill Biggest Asset-Other
Local Developments in
Towns Progress.

In approaching the close of year,
many newspapers make use OF the
opportunity to call attention to the
prominent features denoting the ad-
yancing and general prosperity OF
the town they represent.
1t is distinct pleasure to the Re-
view to be able to say that the year
of 1920 has been an outstanding one
in the history of Eagle River to an
extent that, though plainly observ-
able now, has scarcely begun as yet
to indicate the growth in every way
that a few years hence will show pc
yond any doubt whatever. In TACT, II
has been the most important year
in the history of the town for more
than twenty-five years. In a general
way the business firms have enjoyed
an unusually prosperous year IN
their various lines, and all have
reason to look forward to coming
necessity, that of enlarging quarters
and increasing stocks to take care
of the business of the future. The
surrounding country has seen its
share of the years good things in
the matter of good crops, more new
neighbors, added acres placed under
cultivation, with the modern build
ing improvements that come with
the passing of any section from the
pioneering stage to that OF old and
well settled communities The vari-
GUS land concerns engaged in sett-
ling all parts of the county have
located a great many new families
upon their lands who will prove de-
sirable additions wherever they are
in helping to bring a greater degree
of progress to their township in a
short time.
1t is with the changes that have
taken place in Eagle River that we
are mainly concerned, this week, and
will try to show in the following re-
marks touching upon the changes Of
the past year.

1ention to start construction as early
n the spring as possible with the
nope that it may be ready for use at
The opening of school after the holt
day vacation of 1922. Personally, we
do not get much direct benefit from
paying taxes for roads and schools,
but nevertheless, there is nothing
that communities in general derive
as great benefit from as money spent
for those two things, and the people
of Eagle River will never regret this
move for a better town and
one that will cause it to be a more
desirable place for every one to
live in.

RuiIdina OPERATIONS

Not in many years has there been
as much Improvement in Eagle River
in the way of building operations as
there has been in 1920 Every old
or vacant house has been remodeled
and improved, several new houses
built and where some formerly held
but one family have been enlarged
to accommodate two At that the
demand is far in excess of the sup
ply and next year will surely see a
large number of new residences
built with the positive assurance
that as soon as built they will be oc-
cupied Naturally, with this demand
has come an increased activity in
real estate and there have been many
transfers of property at prices
that would have been deemed exces-
sively high a year or two back. At
that values are not as high as they
are bound to be few years hence
and any holder of Eagle River real
estate may congratulate himself upon
the fact that he does hold it and that
the longer lie holds it the more valu-
able it will become
When we started out with this re-
sumo of the years events it was
not with the idea of making it as
long but one thing after another has
come to mind showing the real adj
vancement and progress since Janu-
airy 1st, that like Topsy, sit just nat
urally grew" but we are. very glad
to be able to say without danger of
contradiction that it has been the
best in many for Eagle River and
surely hope that at the close of next
year we can point to still greater
degree of improvement that will
eventually mean a town much great
er than it is now.

wicker KNITTING Mills

In mentioning improvements of a
nature that will benefit Eagle River
in the way of providing employment
fer labor, the knitting factory of R.
e. wicker deserves a place. Mr..
wicker recently completed cement
block building for the purpose and
has orders ahead to keep several
people at work for an indefinite time,
IN fact, the demand for all kinds of
knit goods has for several years far
exceeded the supply. In the spring
he will add more machines and in
crease the present capacity. Sweaters,
gloves, mittens, and about every art
icle worn made Of wool yarn is made
there.

NO uerson not a long resident OF
Eagle River and vicinity has any
realization of what concern like
the above means to us, or has the
faintest idea of the vast benefits that
will return to the town and commu-
Anitv from the location of the Wis
consin-M Michigan Lumber Company at
Eagle River.
One of the best summer towns IN
the state of Wisconsin, and one that
ranks at the top with the summer
resort seeker, it has, however, for
twenty-five years missed that indus
try that returns to the farmer and
the laboring man steady renumera-
ton for his work that enables him
to remain at home and improve his
property, and thereby improve and
benefit the community and every
person in it.
The plant of the above company,
which is now practically completed
and which will begin saving within
the next thirty days, is branch OF
the STANCE interests at Merrill, Wis,
and one of the five consolidated
companies of those interests. We
are sure that all Review readers will
be interested in knowing something
of the size of the plant, capacity,
ETC., which are as follows:
Sawmill building is 40 feet by 1872
feet, with band saw and resaw.
Boiler building is 80 feet by A
feet, with three boilers, Is feet by
70 feet
Engine room is % feet by 80 feet
with $50 h. p. engine.
Fuel house is % feet by 40 feet,
and 20 feet high.
Log slide is 120 feet long.
Smoke stack is seven feet in di-
,ameter, and 127 feet high.
Hot pond is so feet by 200 feet.
Ground is broken for the planning
mill to be built in the spring, which
will be 81 feet square.
At this time we are not going into
detail of the plant as to its work and
operations here, preferring to wait
until next summer when the plan
ling mill will be up, new barns, a
new Office, all electrically lighted
and steam heated from their own
plant, the yards and surroundings
will be cleaned up, the yard will be
well started with numerous piles of
lumber, and then we promise an ex-

nothing is spared to give the men the
best that money can buy, and being
an old-time merchant himself we
think he should know what he is
talking about. We can truthfully say
that we had never thought it possible
to feed as large a number of men in
such a bountiful manner.
In closing this article now, we re
peat the promise that later, we will
be able to give Review readers a
more comprehensive write-up of this
large industry that will have much
to Go with the future prosperity Of
Eagle River, with views of the mills,
camps and actual working conditions
which will describe it far better than
any words of ours can.
