AS the result of scalds received
when she fell into tub of boiling
water, little Omoliza, the two year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Frank, passed away at st. Mary's
hospital in this city last evening. The
remains were taken to the home Of
the afflicted parents, about twelve
miles from Eagle River, this morning
and will be inferred there.
The unfortunate accident happened
day before yesterday when little
Omoliza was playing beside a tub of
hot water which had been placed on
the floor during the course of the
play the child climbed up on to the
edge of the tub and fell into the hot
water and before her mother could
reach and rescue her she had been
scalded so badly as to make her re-
covery impossible.
She was brought, as quickly as
possible, to the hospital in this city,
but too late to be of avail. Rhine

COMMUNITY ICE RINK

Baseball Diamond Converted In
To Ice Field Through Eff
forts of Parent Teachers
Association

The snappy below-zero weather OF
the past few days has put the COM
munity ice rink at the fair grounds
in the best of condition and large
numbers gather there daily to enjoy
one of the healthiest of winter sports.
The skating rink became a reality
through the efforts of the Parent
Teachers association, which took the
matter in hand soliciting funds for its
upkeep and obtaining permission from
the Villas County Agricultural Society
for the use of the grounds. The rink
covers the biggest part of the base
ball diamond, affording a field of
ample size for the community
Sufficient funds for its maintenance
are not yet in but the committee in
charge has plans under preparation
to raise an additional sum. Their
efforts will undoubtedly eliminate in

ment. With the local band ready to do
its share and plenty of other good
talent for vocal and instrumental num-
bers, as well as readings. it is be-
lieved that an evening of meritorious
entertainment can be provided, and
money enough raised to take care Of
the project.
1t is a community undertaking and
as such, depends upon the hearty
cooperation of everyone in order to
become a success. More need not be
said along this line In the past, com
munity enterprises here have received
good support and there is no reason to
believe that the ice rink proposition
will meet with any but the same sue
cess. To that end all are urged to do
their share. Get out and enjoy the
pleasures of few hours on the ice

MORE MILES ROAD

AS the year 1921 draws to a close
it is to be recorded that the state of
Wisconsin has 2278 miles more of
surfaced highways than it had last
year. The present year has been an
exceedingly active one in highway con-
struction with the record of accom-
plishment away up. The Highway
Commission has issued brief pre-
liminary ranOrt of construction work
for the year which gives substantially
the total accomplishment though the
year is not yet closed Few people who
are not keeping tab on the work Of the
Commission realize how rapidly the
whole system of roads in the state is
being made over into highways pass
able for vehicles of all kinds at all
times of the year. The preliminary
report referred to shows that total
of 1904 miles Of road has been grad
ed and surfaced during 1921 Of this
total 379 miles was done under Fed
GId1 A1u5 OfO 111l1OO OAAOO1 0LCLO Ct1u l.,
and 2S3 by gang maintenance.
Of the Federal Aid roads construct
ed 100 miles are Of concrete; 81 miles

LOWER TAXES GREET
PROPERTY HOLDERS
Village Tax Rate Is Reduced
This Year Due To In
creased Valuation By
New Buildings

Eagle River taxpayers will lind QUITE
decided reduction when they go to
pay their taxes after Jan. l, due to the
Increase in valuation caused by the
extensive building operations that
have taken place since the yalua-
ton was placed by the assessor of
1920 That year the total valuation was
$418, $50, while in 1921 it raised $758,
914.O0, with a rate of .0344, or $34.40
per $1,000 Of valuation. Another cause
was that $4,000 was taken from the
high school fund raised last year,
TO apply on the bonds and interest due
instead of putting it into the tax levy
of this year. 1t seems to us that that
was a very sensible thing to do, rather
than keep the money lying idle and
place extra burden upon the taxpayers
It may interest some to know just
how the tax money is distributed is
as follows;
State tax -..--.....-.-.-.-...s 9O7.12
County tax ---.-.....-..---- 5,44S.62
Common school tax @ 100000
Village tax -.-....-..-.----- 1894
OF the latter $4,000 is turned over to
the light and water department for
bond payments, street lighting and
water service. The light and water
department asked $4,000 for the water
service and $500 for lights, but COM
promise was made at $1,000 for both
with $1,000 for applying on indebted
ness and a total of $1,000 as given
above. It will be gratifying to every
one to know that the tax burden is
much lighter than is has been for sew.
eral years and good prospects that the
future growth of the town will still
further reduce the dread of tax time.

CLEAR 5000 ACRES In
1922 is COUNTY'S AIM
Movement Under Way To Add
This Large Amount To
Villas County's Cleared
Acreage in 1922

In 1900, Villas county was credited
with So improved farms having cult
waited area of 2,176 acres. In 1910, the
number had grown to 149 farms with
4,6O5 acres improved. The 1920 gov
eminent report lists the number of
farms at AT, with 9,726 acres devot-
ed to some kind Of crop production,
This is a very small area compared
with the total acreage Of wild or I'm.
improved lands and far less than is
necessary to maintain the livestock
at present owned by Villas county
farmers. With a realization of what
this cleared land shortage means, the
county agricultural committee has in
structed County Agent Gibson to de-.
vote his main efforts toward land
clearing campaign for next year with
a goal set of 5000 acres. John Swene
hart, head of the state land clearing
department spent a few days in Eagle
River recently to help arrange the de-
tails and beginning in February
series of meetings will be held
throughout the county and strong
effort made to organize the farmers
of every neighborhood in an active
campaign against the stumps and
brush.
At every meeting the state will fur
nish motion pictures describing the
work as it has been actually demon
strated on Wisconsin farms and
speakers will be present to explain
the working plan in detail.
The banks of Eagle River and
Phelps will lend financial assistance
in every way possible and by buying
dynamite and other materials in large
quantities the cost of clearing an acre
of land will be much reduced over
that of the man who has not been
able to avail himself OF those oppor-
tunities.
There is nothing that means as
much to every taxpayer in Villas coun-
ty as a faster clearing up of the
county's wild and unproductiye land.
From the entertainers standpoint,
it means more acres from which to
produce more crops and keep more
stock, the backbone of all farms, and
to every business man it1means that
the more the farmer has to sell off his
farm, the more that he will have to
buy from the vendor of farm supplies
of every kind.
Among the speakers who will at
tend the meetings will be John Swene
hart ]. A. Fielder, Ford ]. Allen, Glen
Householder and HI. P. Peterson
Keep watch of the dates of the meet
ings and plan on attending those most
convenient

BOWLING TOURNEY

ments is to be held at Madison, Wis,
from January 26th to February goth
1922, under the auspices of the Wis
consin Bowling Association, and when
the one thousand teams are finally
entered the bowlers of Wisconsin will
be delighted to know that their efforts
to make the show the biggest has
finally been realized.
Everything is set for a big turn
out of Wisconsin boWlers, and every
convenience has been arranged SO that
the tournament will please the most
exacting ten-pin artists.
Ten practically new continuous map
lie drives have been secured at Madi-
son to bowl the tournament on, and
hundred sets Of the finest select ten
pins have been in dry storage for
several weeks, so that they will be
well dried out and full Of life, giving
the bowler a chance for record scores
when he attends the tournament.
The early reservation of dates from
teams outside of the City of Madison
augurs well for a great tournament,
and with the huge. entry Of about 300
teams from Madison, the success OF
the tournament is assured, for all
tournaments are measured as success
full by the size of the entry, and this
year the state entry will run 1000
teams, as against SIS teams when held
at Milwaukee last winter.
Milwaukee now leads the van OF
the outside cities with an entry OF
over one hundred teams, which will
be increased to about two hundred
teams when the entries close on Janu-
airy 18th 1922.
Closely following Milwaukee, will
be the bidders for the 1928 state
tournament, and it is estimated that
Green Bay will cut such splash with
their entry of fifty teams that they
will force aside all competition in
their claims to entertain the state
bowlers during the winter of 1928
Following Green Bay we will have
Kenosha, GAINESVILLE and Fond du Lac
with Is to 20 teams each, and down
| the line Of all hustling Wisconsin
cities, the entry will run from one to
ten teams each, and they will help
bring the total up to the great figure
| predicted.
Wisconsin, as bowling state, has
been made by the Wisconsin Bowling
Association, and they are now reap
ing the benefits Of many years o.
hard work, by securing a record entry
each year, which tops all other state
tournaments in the country.
Secretary Bill Fenske of Milwaukee
is in charge of the reservations ant
reports that inquiries are coming IL
every day for dates for the tourna
ment.
