MADELINE RAID
Cleverly Hidden Building Near
Big Bay was Located by Reve-
nue. Men. Some Mash was Dis
covered but no Stills We're
Found.

Assisted by the commander of q
revenue cutter and some of the
crew, a raid was made on Madeline
Island Friday and Saturday by Depu-
ty Prohibition Agent Coates, result.
ing in the discovery of a still where
liquor was being made in wholesale
quantities.
Charles Kron and Harvey Wiegren
were placed under arrest on Friday
by the agents, and brought to Ash
land, where they were placed under
$1,000 bonds until hearing, which
will take place November 8.
Saturday the revenue cutter, the
U. S. S. Cook z, commanded by B.
G. Trudell returned to the Island
and the cleverly hidden building in
which the moonshine had been made
was destroyed. The building had
been erected at the bottom of ra-
vine, near Big Bay, and was so sit
uated that it could not be seen from
the Lake, nor from the top of the
ravine. Only when the observer
came within four rods of it, could it
be discerned. A barrel of mash was
contiscated, but the stills were not
found, the men having made off with
them when the revenue cutter ap.
preached.

WICoNSIN u. TEAM WINS

The mighty Minnesota foo ball
team met with stinging defeat at
the hands of the Wisconsin eleven in
game played at Madison last Sat-
urday, in which the Gophers were de-
feated by score Of thirty-five to @.
The game was played on wet field
and was witnessed by crowd Of 28,-
600 people, who came from every
county in the state and every state
in the Union to witness the, game.
At. only one period during the game
was the Wisconsin goal in danger,
being during the first quarter when
Wisconsin punted and the ball went
into the air and was carried back by
Minnesota near theWisconsin goal.
During the remainder of the game
the ball was in the Minnesota ter
ritory during the greater part of
the time, and Minnesota was unable
to make any gains through the Wis
consin line which held like a stone
wall.
During this game Wisconsin de-
monstrated that it was not only good
on defensive but on offense as, well
and time and again the Minnesota
line was broken through and great
gains made and on two occasions the
ball, was carried for a distance OF
So yards and 73 yards for touch
down.
This Wisconsin team clearly out
classed it's Minnesota rival at every
turn of the game.
There was "hot time in the old
town" following the game, and Madi.
son fairly went wild over the vic.
tory.

ARMISTICE DAY

Nov. 18th, is Armistice Day and
also the opening day Of the Confer
ence on World Reduction of Arms-
ment.
While this is not legal school
holiday, it is fitting chat suca an
historic date be recognized in the
schools through appropriate exer-
cises. A program should be pre-
pared and presented some time dur
ing the day, either as a school ac-
tivity or in conjunction with local
patriotic societies.
We hope that this day may ever be
remembered by our people and re-
corded in history as the dawn Of
worldpeace.
Our State Supt. John Callahan.
urges that the children be so in
structed that the significance of the
day be impressed upon their minds.

Water Works Company
Granted Raise in Rates
HURLEY DEFEATED BY
WASHBURN HIGH SCHOOL

Last Saturday the Hurley aggrega-
tion made their appearance in Wash
burn determined to repeat their
trick of last year. The Washburn
High school boys had a slightly diff
ferent plan and tu,led the tables
20 to 13. The game was beyond a
doubt the best game and the hardest
game that the locals have played so
far this year. Both teams were in
the best condition and determined to
do their best. Those who saw the
game saw. battle from start to
finish with neither side giving up.
The score by quarters. First
quarter. Z
The first quarter started with
Washburn on the receiving end.
Ernest Soshea tucked the oval under
his arm and carried it for fifty yards
before he was stopped. A few short
snappy plays were called and Sos
hea went over for the first touch
down of the game. The driving
ability of the Washburn back field
seemed to take their opponents off
their feet. Geisert kicked the goal.
Hurley received on the next kick off
but failed to score in the first period.
Washburn z, Hurley 0.
Second quarter.
With ball in their hands Hurley
started a trip down the field which
the locals were unable to stop, with
forward pass Hurley scored but
failed to kick goal. The rest Of the
quarter was see-saw near the mid
die of the field. The half ended
with Washburn on the ball on their
own fifteen yard line. Score Wash
burn z, Hurley 6.
Third quarter.
Hurley received at the kick off
but were held for downs. and ball
passed into the hands of the locals
who were unable to make much pro-
gress. 1t was at this point of the
game that the Umpire called a foul
on the crowd for being on the field.
This penalty with others, some of
which the side lines were responsible,
perhaps helps to account for the
score which Hurley put across.
Washburn however had been there
first with series of we'll chosen plays
by captain Soshea and had put over
counter. Geisert kicked goal.
Washburn had the ball at the end of
the quarter On Hurley's thirty yard
line. Score Washburn 14-Hurley
13.
Fourth quarter.
With Washburn on the ball on
Hurley's own thirty yard line it was
not very long before Captain Soshea
went through the line for a third
touch down. Geisert failed to make
the goal. The remainder of the
game was well handled by the locals
and were never threatened by the
visitors. Score Washburn 20, Hur-
ley 13.

COUNTY ROADS
WELL MARKED
WE ALSO EXCEL IN BEAUTY
OF SCENERY
County Highway Commissioner
John Friberg and County
Road and Bridge Committee
Have Right System.

While roads throughout Wiscon-
sin, generally, are well marked, ant
it is a difficult matter for tourists
journeying about the state to miss
directions, yet Bayfield, County citi.
zens cannot help but notice thai
none compare with the markings or
the Bayfield, county roads, as placed
by County Highway j Commissioners
John Friberg under the directions OF
the Bayfield, County Road and Bridge
COMMITTEES.
In Bayfield, county is it next to i'm
possible to miss directions, it is al
most as possible to have a accident
because in Bayfield, county every
curve and hill, every railroad cross
ing is marked with the official sign
Of the Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion, every cross road is plainly mark
ed so that tourists do not need to miss
making the right turn or going on
the right road.
While Wisconsin Is the best marked
state in the union SO far as road signs
are concerned, yet there are times
when tourists become confused, es-
pecially going through the larger
cities, in finding the right directions.
The roads too in the northern part
Of the state, are equally as good as
the roads in the older sections.
Northern Wisconsin roads are most
ly dirt and gravel roads, while in
the other sections there are many
stretches Of concrete and other road
material, yet for pleasure of driv-
ing nothing can equal the roads OF
the northern half of the state.
Not only are the good roads at
tracing tourists to Northern Wiscon-
sin, but in beauty of scenery we ex-
cell, Our camp sites cannot be
equalled anywhere in the state.
Hundreds of towns and cities of
of the state have their free tourist
camp sites, located as best they can
be, yet there is always something
lacking, either in the way of natural
trees and surroundings, Or water
supply, etc,
Memorial park, located on heauti-
full Chequamegon Bay, with its vir-
gin trees of second growth pine, It's
ravines, its bathing beach, etc. has
not an equal in the great state. We
have heard this from others who have
come to Washburn to spent the sum-
mer season, and our own people are
beginning to hear this as they travel
about the state and see what others
have which they call beautiful.
Northern Wisconsin sure is a
beautiful country and is rapidly be-
coming the playground of the tourist.
