BUILDING GOOD ROADS

About two years ago, Oneida coun-
ty voted bond issue for good roads
that many considered an excessive
sum. In a ride to Rhinelander Sun
day some of the results of the good
road fund were seen on the road be-
tween Sugar Camp and the county
seat of Oneida county. Grading done
last year has now been resurfaced
with crushed rock making highway
that will bear all the traffic that will
go over it for many years. 1t is a
safe bet that it will thoroughly de-
monstrate to the taxpayers of Oneida
county long before the bond issue is
paid that it pays to go in debt for
such roads and the chances are that
as fast as possible other bond issues
will be made to improve other main
roads Of that county.

FORD GOES LOGGING

Henry Ford will put his logging
theories to a practical test in the
camps he is about to establish on his
lands near Sidnaw, in the southern
part of Houghton county. These
camps are not intended to simply sup
ply the needs of the Michigan Land
and Iron company, the Ford subsldi-
airy in the upper peninsula, but rather
to demonstrate whether or not log
ging can be done as Mr.. Ford believes
it should be carried out in order to
conserve the timber resources of the
upper peninsula.
Only timber of minimum size OF
ten inches Will be cut AS far as prac-
ticable, the merchantable values in
the tops and trimmings of the logs
will be saved Then the slashings will
be DESTROYED in manner that will
not impair the value of the growth
left standing.
It will, in fact, be "selective'' log
ging. Mr.. Ford is on record as say
ing that there will be more timber
on his lands 100 years from now than
there is today. He has in mind the
logging of timber that is only fit
for the saws, leaving the immature
trees.
The experience in his Sidnaw
camps is being watched with interest
in logging circles throughout the up

MOONSHTNERS CAUGHT
WITH STILLS RUNNING
Local and Federal Officers Land
On ViOlatOrs Finding Stills
and Other Evidence
All Bound Over

The path of the moonshiner is be-
ginning to be made difficult in Villas
county. Last week officers OF the law
dropped down upon several farmers
near town and secured convincing
proof in every case. A farmer named
Cob, residing on the former Henry
Rath farm was found with the most
elaborate outfit yet taken and the
officers arrived in time to see it IN
operation. A large quantity OF mash
and some of the manufactured pro-
duct was secured there also. Three
Croatians east of town were found
in the possession of a still and some
home made whiskey A man named
Rowenski north of town was caught
with the goods, both still and product.
A tenant of the Mic Meyer place at
Sucker lake was found with some
moonshine but no still was discovered.
All gave bonds for their appearance
at circuit court. Judging from the
number of cases now in prospect for
circuit court and the general attitude
Of the judges all over the country, it
is going to be an expensive business
to follow from now on. The federal
government has recently decided to
enforce the prohibition law with more
severity than in the past and offend
ers are bound to find that U. S. laws
are something to be regarded with
respect if not admiration.

RESORT MEN CLOSING
BUSIEST OF SEASONS
Increased Building at Nearly all
Resorts Is Evidence of the
Prosperous Seasons in
That Business

Villas county resort men have just
closed, what is by all accounts, the
best year ever known in their bust
ness. For the past three or four years
this has been the annual statement
and it is fully borne out by the fact
that every resort has enlarged its ac-
commodations each year to take care
of the increasing patronage and still
this season turned more away than
ever. In addition to the enlarged ca
pacity of the established places, new
ones are being built each year that
receive like patronage as soon as
opened to the public. Next year will
doubtless see a still larger number Of
people here for vacation period as
the Eagle River country is fast in
creasing in popularity among those
who have spent even a limited time
at any of the resorts connected close
ly with Eagle River. The automobile
has had much to do with the growing
tourist traffic and will continue to as
long as northern Wisconsin holds it's
present reputation for good roads,
and which as a matter of business it
is not apt to neglect.
Another factor in the past success
of the resorts is the frightening by
several weeks of the season. Whereas
few years ago business came to end
with the first days of September, now
they are fully booked through that
month and well into October as more
and more people become aware of the
enjoyment of an early autumn vaca-
ton. There are not many lines of
business enterprise that promise a
brighter outlook than the resorts and
their owners are quite justified in
preparing for larger business that
is bound to be theirs in the future.

TOO EARLY TRAPPING
MEANS POOR HIDES
Trade Demands Pelts in Best of
Condition Which Comes in
Cold Weather--Get Ac-
quainted With Laws

1t doesn't pay to trap :oo early
Trapping is a business o1 opposition and
should be conducted rs ;:lch. The
market demands caltl n article and
unless it gets it, the price paid IS not
up to standard The reason Tor trap
ping is to secure pelts from which
various grades Of furs are TO Re made.
The market has no use for pclts
from which good furs cannot be made.
The prices that make trapping profit
able are paid for prime pelts. BY
prime pelts we mean pelts that are
in proper condition for wintering the
animals from which they are taken
If the animal is shedding hair, as is
common in warm weather, the pelt is
not prime; it is prime when this has
stopped Most animals shed through
a considerable portion of the year, and
it is only in the real cold weather that
it ceases. That is the profitable time
to trap.
Don't trap skunk in the North be-
fore the last part of October, and if
the season is fairly warm, delay until
well into November. A difference of
two weeks time in taking an animal
may mean difference of several dol
lars in the price received for the pelt.
Don't trap muskrat until late in the
fall. They are in best condition in
midwinter and early spring. Mink
should not be trapped until late in No
vember and even then you may get
few poor pelts. Coon can be taken
the early part Of November, but not
before. Oppossum, also may be
trapped early in November and fox are
not in safe condition as rule until
the latter part of November
These animals are common in all
parts of the country and the trapper,
regardless of where he may live,
should be making mental note of the
best time to start trapping for the
various kinds of animals, in discover
ing the most likely places in the com
munity for them, in preparing various
sets and lures by practice around
home in order to become proficient
in the art of trapping. If you are not
an expert, it will be well to be reading
up on the subject from the literature
of the fur houses and books which
can be procured from any dealer or
public library.
Study the game laws in your state,
and be sure that you have legal
right to trap before starting out. If
trapping licenses are required, be sure
to obey the law in this respect. While
it is wise to be ready for the trapping
season as early as possible, it never
pays to rush the season. Be content
to wait until the proper time It will
be more money in the trapper's pocket
to keep this in mind Wisconsin

per peninsula. By some "selective'
numbering is regarded as highly
costly procedure, but in the Ford tests
costs will be carefully reckoned with
the purpose of determining how much
more it costs to get our lumber by
this practice than by the ruthless
denuding of the land. The lessons
to be learned in the actual conduct
of the work will be carefully noted
and applied to future operations.
Mr.. Ford believes that scientific
numbering is a more practicable me-
thod of assuring timber in the future
than reforestation.

LEFT HELPLESS

A Finlander residing near Phelps
was run over by an automobile while
walking on the Smoky lake road Sun
day night. Following the custom of
city speed demons, the occupants of
the car drove on and made no attempt
to assist the victim of their careless
ness. Later he was found by Phelps
liveryman who took him to town
where it was found that one leg had
been broken in two places and he was
badly bruised and cut otherwise. The
next morning he was sent to the
hospital at Wausau. The person, or
persons who caused the accident had
not been learned of at latest account.

Hayward's Philosophy
E. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.


If you have talent use it;
Do not try to hide away
Such a blessing, nor abuse it,
You may lose it any day.
Maybe God has only lent it
Just to see what you will do;
If you foolishly have spent it,
Or have hidden it from view,
You have wronged the one who gave
it,
Also done yourself a wrong;
If you have a talent save it,
Or you may not have it long.

An Important Election

The coming city election is of the most important
in this city's history. Two commissioners to be
chosen, and these will be majority of the council
they will have in their power control the city affairs
for the next two years.
Because of the flood and the necessity for flood
prevention as we'll rehabilitation the incoming council
will have greater responsibility than usual, and will
direct the expenditure of larger of money than
spent by the city government two years. 1t
should be remembered also that the citizens committee
existence has official power legal standing
1t appointed by the city commissioners. and the
city commissioners have the right ignore its advice
or dismiss it entirely.
1t therefore Of the highest importance to the ctys
welfare that every voter shall acquaint himself with the
issues involved in this election, and those issues
for the most part, matter of personality. It is
question of putting the city government into the hands
of the who best qualified for that responsibility
and other consideration than that of the city welfare
should have any weight in making the choice. In parti
cuar the voters should not be influenced by any wild
rumors that may be circulated, by groundless COM
plants of the dissatisfied, by demagogic promises
that impossible of ful6llment
There will also be presented to the voters in this
election plan for change the city manager plan Of
government It has already been said that The Chieftan
not IN favor OF this change at this tlme but the people
entitled all the facts of the proposed charter
amendment, and those facts they given in The
Chieftain yesterday, should be understood by all.
The Chieftain has interest, political, business
otherwise in this election other than the good of the
city The contest both L concerns the commission
ers and it concerns the charter amendment should
be of sincerity, honesty and fairness
If the people will fully inform themselves of the
facts there is no reason to fear for the result.

itv personified. Dignity with him haa
been raised to the nth degree. When
he speaks it is in words chosen with
nicely and care, and his accent is
Harvardesque to the limit. 1t is
worth any number of trips to the
Capitol just to heay him say Panama,
with double accent on the last syl-
liable. Naturally frail of body and
not in robust health, he plainly shows
the effects of advancing years, yet he
gets away with an immense lot of
work and carries a heavy load of re-
sponsibility. Lodge has very little
personal popularity with his col
leagues, I am told, but he retains
Leadership of his party in the Senate
by his capacity for work and the I'M
doubted quality of his brains.
There are any number of brilliant
men in the senate, but John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi probably out
shines them all. He isn't much to look
at, it's true. heard a lady next to
US in the gallery whisper to her COM
panion that he reminded her of some
thing the cat had dragged in. He is
small and moth-eaten and seems al
ways tired. His pronunciation and ac-
cent arc as exaggeratedly southern as
Lodges are New England. He speaks
in soft, lazy drawl, but wit and wis
dom flow in perfect torrent. To
hear him make a speech is as good as
going to the circus. He'd be n great
hit on the Chantauqua circuit. but the
lure of the lecture platform has never
been able TO beguilc him. He doesn t
need the money-and wouldn't like
the exertion.
Another Democrat in whom there is
a lot of interest just now is Under
wood of Alabama. He is the minority
leader in the Senate, not so much
because of brilliancy as by capacity
for painstaking work. The particular
interest in him at the present time
is because of his selection by the pres
ident to be one of the four American
delegates TO the coming Washington

ments the one Democrat in the dele

have had experience in diplomacy, but
Underwood is more of the business
,or commercial type. And it may be
that a business typo of mind will
furnish just the balance needed in
the American delegation.
Boise Penrose was shock to me.
The last time saw him he was
rudy and robust and big as the side
of house. l know he had been seri-
iously i'll, but WASH t prepared to find
him so shrunken. He looks almost
emaciated; that is, for Penrose,
Big as he was, before his illness his
step was almost as light and springy
as that of a dancing master Now
he inst drags his feet along, and seems
awfulfy tired. l don't know how much
of the old fire which made him a sem
ate leader still burns, but there are
reports in Washington that he is los

The Volstead of the Senate is Sem
ator Morris Sheppard of Texas. Prob
ably there Is no man in congress
whose story is sadder. Sheppard came
to congress about twenty years ago
as member of the house, lust out
of college and with a brilliant repu-
tation as boy orator. He was chock
full of ambition and great things were
predicted for him. He made IN his
mind to specialize on the tariff and
his maiden speech was on that sub
Ject. They say it was one of the
greatest tariff speeches, from dem
ocratic standpoint, ever delivered in
congress, and it gave the young Tex
an an immediate reputation.
But that speech ended Sheppard as
a tariff specialist. Nothing more of
consequence was heard from him on
the subject. Being intensely religious,
he got interested in the prohibition,
movement and made that his spe.
cialty. He WAS the author of the law
which made the District of Columbia
dry, was largely instrumental in put
ting through the wartime prohibition
act and led the fight in the senate for
prohibition by constitutional amend
ment. Much credit is gives him for
the success of the war on liquor, bn.
