TRIP AROUND THE HORN
Hurley Newspaper Man
Finds the Lake Region
Bully Good-Likes Camp
ing Spot in Village.

In the last issue of the Hurley
News, Editor Emunson tells his
readers of the many delights the
motorist may unearth in this
wonderland of lakes and woods.
He says:
The News editor was a member
of motor party which made the
trip around the horn, meaning to
Eagle River by way of Michigan
and then home by way of Manito-
wish and Mercer, the fore part of
the week. We travelled on Michi-
gan No. IL to Watersmeet, then
on No. 20 to State Line, No. 80 TO
Eagle River, No. 20 to Woodruff
where connection is made with
No. 10, the road which passes
through Hurley to Superior.
THE trip is a delightful one
and takes you through the great
lake region for which northern
Wisconsin is noted.
AT Eagle River we had the
pleasure for the first time of tax
ing advantage of the facilities of
a public camping place, of which
we hear so much in these days of
touring by automobile. Eagle
River is a progressive village and
has realized the Importance of
catering to and looking after the
needs of tourists. The camping
place is but a short distance from
the village in a beautiful grove of
pines. Here we pitched our tent
and right at hand was a pump
which supplied the best of water,
stoves to prepare meals on and we
didn't have to travel into the
woods and pick up wood, for right
near at hand was a huge pile of
mill wood supplied by the city.
Everything for the convenience
of the tourists. The camp is To-
Gated on the banks of the Wiscon-
sin river, which at Eagle River IS
quite a stream and provides the
place for bathing. The city leas-
ed the camp site and a short
time ago residents of the city
held bee and cleared the place
of all brush and shrubbery, leav-
ing the tall, stately pines to fur
nish the shade. It's a fine piece
of community work and all towns
would do well to follow the ex-
ample.
"And tourists You would think
that the whole city of Chicago
and then some took to the woods
for over the Fourth. A continual
stream of cars entered and passed
through Eagle River the days we
were there. Whittier they were all
bound we do not know, but no
doubt the thousands of resorts in
the lake region attracted the
majority of them.
How are the roads? Well, the
roads are the best ever down in
that neighbOrhoOd, but when you
approach the Iron county line you
start TO hit the bumps. The sea
of sand between Manitowish and
the Dam would be in proper place
on the Sahara desert. This is a
