County Agent Gibson, accom-
panied by A. p. Sherwood, a rep

These demonstration were held
at Winchester, Phelps, Boulder

every demonstration the fact was
established that this powder IS up
TO expectations and also that 1t rs
free from after effects such as
headaches due to poisonous fumes.
II is less liable to go off than
other explosives in the hands of
the novice.
Over two hundred fifty inter

messed these demonstrations,
which were free.
Next week Mr.. Sherwood will
return and give demonstrations
at Smoky lake. Range Line, Win

IRON RIVER DEFEATED
Locals Garry Away Game
From Michigan Men
Double Header Sunday.
Eagle River 9, Iron River A.

Eagle RIVER y, iron River 4.
AT no stage of the game Sunday
was the locals in close quarters
from the Iron River team. Up TO
the third inning Eagle River held
the score 3 TO 0. In the third Iron
River landed one tally, while the
locas did likewise. The score at
the end showed Eagle River in the
lead by four runs.
IL was reported early in the
game that Iron River had made
the statement that it would be
no hit game on their side of
the fence. The score sheet shows
that Eagle River pounded out II
clean hits while Iron River deliv-
cred TO themselves off Paul but
four-two of them being scratch
es at that.
Paul pitched magnificent ball,
and the old Chief is there with
the head work when it is neces-
sary to use. Stanley is chain
lightning on first, and with the
other fellows playing every min
ute, the team is hard one to
beat. Iron River has been play
ing mighty good ball this year
and recently laced it to lronwood.
which is in the upper peninsula
league.
Sunday of this week Eagle Riv-
er will have a double header on
the local diamond. At 100 sharp
Eagle River and Monico will stage
a nine-inning contest; following
this game with a fifteen minute
intermission Eagle River will take
on Sunset Farm Both teams are
credited as being fast, and the
pleasures for the fans will be null

PRIZE is DWINDLING
Winners of the Chippewa
Falls Hotel Have Lemon
on Hands-Declared Lot
terry.

The junction City people who
were members of the pool which
was declared winner of the Hotel
Northern at Chippewa Falls as a
result of the drawing on July 4,
may find before their claim is sat
isfied that their 100000" prize
has dwindled down to a mere $685.
600, or possibly to nothing.
"A report has reached Madison
that there were liens approximate
ing $4,000 against the fine hotel
in Chippewa Falls which provel to
be a white elephant" to the
stockholders. 1t is said an agree
ment was reached between the
stockholders and the local Elks,
whereby fifty members of the Elk
lodge agreed TO assume or guar
antee the payment of the liens by
rafting off the hotel at 81 per
ticket. 1t was expected to sell
from 100000 to 100000 tickets, but
instead. it is said, the sales were
little more than 100000 with ex-
penses in conducting the rattle
into the thousands.
Under the agreement, it is
said, the hotel was to be given
with a clear title TO the holder of
the lucky ticket, but in order to
do so the fifty men who signed
the guarantee would be compelled
to put up about $1,000 each and
that forty-two of them repudiated
the agreement.
The question arising are can
the stockholders of the hotel hold
the so men of the Chippewa Falls
lodge of Elks to the agreement?
Can the holder of the lucky ticket
compel the Elks to turn the hotel
over to him with a clear title?
Under the circumstances it is
held here that the most equitable
way out of the difficulty in Chip
pewa Falls would be for the Elks
to turn over the net receipts, said
to be about $4,000. to the holder
of the lucky ticket. As several
men had entered into pool they
would each receive several thou
sand dollars and in that way
everyone could be satisfied" Stew

HAS TWENTY MEMBERS
Eagle Rivers Band in Prime
Condition and Growing
Rapidly.

With a membership now of full
twenty members the local band is
improving a hit with the home
people and summer visitors at
their weekly concerts held every
Thursday evening in the North
western park. Summer people by
the hundreds are now coming in
to the village concerts nights and
certainly appreciate the musical
program. Last Thursday evening
a count of the cars revealed a
total of forty-eight parked for
two blocks fronting the band
stand.
When the band was recognized
last spring the membership total
ed less than a dozen members.
With a minister as director. and
that is going some, new members
have been added IN various ways;
and the end is not in sight for a
much larger band before the sea
son ends. The latest addition has
been o. c. Walstad and son, ex-
perienced musicians from lola, the
former home of Oscar Gundei son,
who was director of the band up
to his departure from Eagle River
for Ohio last Spring.
The two greatest assets a town
can boast of are q band and a
baseball team. The latter in
Eagle River is a bully good bunch
to rely on in preserving the honor
of the village in bringing home
the bacon almost every game. So
far this season they have lost
but one game. Understand, the
game played at WabenO where
His Jumps scrambled the net re-
suits, is counted as no game"
Flambeau is the only team to give
us a lemon so far. Kelly of Wat
ersmeet has tried it this year, but
has been out Of luck.
The support of both the band
and ball team should be literally
sanctioned by the public, for with
out them. there would be a dead
ness" that would place US off the
Mp for good. And since the Wis
eOnsin Press Association mem
bers think we are the real goods,
according to reports coming up
from down state since their trip
of a week ago. it is up to us to
keep the record clean.

his teens. His tall form was in the
highest degree athl,t tic and vigorous.
He was seeking adventure, and in
character, temperament and physic
he was WI fitted for the rugged life
and the hardships Of the wilderness.
This young man was Dan Gagen,
and from that time until his death a
few years ago he was a prominent
figure in the velopment Of the
regions about the upper waters of The
Wisconsin and Wolf rivers. For more
than sixty years he was closely identi-
fed with the events that marked the
Transformation Of this region from a
forest primevial into a country rich in
industry and agriculture. He saw the
passing of the pine forests and the
dawn Of a new era; with rtgr,t he
moved TO new localities as the en-
croachment of the lumberman limited
the freedom of the woods; and tn n,
with resignation to the inevitable, he
took up his part in the development OF
The oountry's resources.
An English sailor by occupation, in
tn course of his voyages he came TO
Montreal where glowing stories of the
riches to be found in the copper mines
of Northern Michigan attracted him TO
the bleak shores of Lake Superior. He
spent some time in the mincs at
various localities. but his was a roav-
ing disposition. He loved the free
iOin of the op,E and frequent journeys
along the lake iamiliar:zed him with
conditions in the interior of the coun-
try.
A chance meeting with some wander
ing voyageurs from the lower Miss
issippi or ated a desire to visit the
rich country in the region of st.
Louis. He had not found mining to his
liking, and with a desire to try his
fortunes in the lower Mississippi
country he set out alone ov,r mountain
and swamp, through forest and oven
uncharted strains to the trading post
at Vieux Dessert, there to take pass
age in a canoe down the Wisconsin
river.
The journey was never compl ted
for the hand Of fate and a touching
romance Of the north woods interviewed
Gag, ms lasts inclined him TO a life of
adventur,, and the great silence and
deep solitude Of the forests fed his
soui with the food it loved. The deep
pine forest, through a wild rness
was thickly populated; the forest glens
were trampled by deer and there were
tracks Of bear and wolves along the
streams. Beaver and othgr fur bear
ing animals abounded. Gagen was
young in y ars, but he had seen much
OF the world. and here he found a
v ritable paradise, a world to his lik.
ing.
Dan entered the employment of the
fur company. He learned the langu-
age Of the forest and of the Indian,
his companion on the hunt and in the
camp. His dress was the picturesque
garb Of the people with whom he
chose 20 live, a tight frock Of smoked
deerskin; ornamented with the quilts
Of the porcupine. He journeyed down
the Wisconsin river to the trading
posts there to dispose Of the fruits Of
the hunt, and to barter for the things
he needed to carry on the traffic of
the forest. He became a trader him
