Model Lumber Camp.

In spite of reports that the logg-
ing industry is at a standstill this
season in Northern Wisconsin, the
Park Falls Lumber Company. is
building a model town at Loretta,
near Draper, from which to con
duet logging operations in that
district.
The new town is located near
the center of a belt of timber about
sixty miles long by twenty miles
wide, the largest tract of standing
timber in Northern Wisconsin. In
order to log from Loretta, a model
set of camps has been built.
The buildings are substantial
frame structures with accomoda.
tons for 500 men. The sleeping
camps are steam heated, and light
ed By electricity, and are equipped
with individual spring beds and
other conveniences for the men.
Two other large buildings con
taining forty rooms for the fore
man, clerks and other officials,
large roundhouse and machine shop
of reinforced concrete complete the
set Of new structures.
The main logging line from
Loretta to Grand View, a distance
of IS miles, has been completed,
and in a few weeks logging on a
large scale will begin. 1t is esti.
mated that the Park Falls Lumber
Company has a cut of at least
twenty years on this tract alone.

MANY NEW SETTLERS
IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN
Bureau of immigration Says that III,
900 Acres We're Entered On and
Cleared 10 1921.

Northern Wisconsin was entered
by 400 families during 1921. who
settled on and cleared IL, 900 acres
of undeveloped agricultural land,
according to G. M. Householder of
the bureau of immigration.
This report is based on railroad
returns to The state department
of agriculture, and includes only
those settlers who entered with a
full! carload of goods in their pos
session. Hundreds of others may
have pushed their way into the new
country but without record made
of them.
The greater number of settlers
have graduated from the industrial
centers of the middle states into the
realm of prospective home owners,
Mr.. Householder said. They have
seen an opportunity to better them.
selves, he declared, and enter the
nndeveloped country with back.
ground of industriousness and
farming methods learned largely in
the Scandinavian countries, Ger
many and Poland.
Coming to their 8o.acre tracts,
the newcomers usually turn to
pioneer methods and build log
houses from timber off their Iand
Gradually they clear an area of
brush and stumps and prepare to
plant crops that will afford pro
6table adjunct to dairyiug, which
is almost uniformly the principal
industry of the settlers.
Once on the land the state,
counties and state university unite
to extend aid and advise. Tax ex-
emption is granted for three years
while the property is being develop.
ed, agricultural agents give in
structions in farming methods and
aid in explaining new land clear
ing methods, while the university
furnishes information and through
its experiment station determines
what the farmers of each district
can most prohtably undertake with
their property.
Many of the same hardships and
privations that were borne by
pioneers who Originally opened up
this state to Settlement must be
undergone by the settlers in the
regions of the north Mr.
Householder said. Rigorous win
tiers call for a hardy type Of settler,
while clearing operations, he said.
require industriousness and will
inguess to work.
For those reasons the bureau of
immigration tries to encourage the
more industrious types trained in
dairy farming, to enter the state as
settlers.
At the present rate of settlement
and land clearing of vast tracts of
undeveloped land, it will take
100 years before the territory is all
under cultivation. There are said
to be resources sufficient to support
a population of several millions in
the undeyeloped northern counties.

NONPARTISAN AND THE NON
PARTISAN BALLOT.

The fact that leaders Of the Non
partisan League are now strenuously
opposing the election law which pro-
vides for ballot without party desig-
nation printed on it for state, county
and legislative Offices is not only
laughable but it emphasizes the fact
that they will turn most any way and
do most anything just SO that they
can continue to keep their hands on
the money.
In 1917, when Lynn j. Frazier
stepped into the governors Office, he
said among other things in his mes
sage to the legislature, this to the
Nonpartisan ballot:
believing that national political
party affiliations should not be con-
sidered in the election Of county and
state officers and that the best inter
esa Of the greatest number Of people
can be served by the use Of . non

ABOUT VOTING

Many people are confused on the
requirements for voting. Briefly
all citizens over 81 years of age, either
men or women, may vote if they have
been year in the state, three months
in the county and thirty days in the
precinct. If they have moved from
one precinct to another within that
time they can return to their old pre-
cinct to vote.
Single persons may vote where their
parents live, even though personally
absent prior to election for any
amount of time. Their parents resi-
dence is their own unless they desire
to declare their residence elsewhere.
Teachers who taught in this county last
year and who desire to vote here can
do So absence during vacation not
losing their residence here.
Any person may challenge the vote
of any person if it is believed that
such person is not qualified to vote,
no matter what the reason. How
ever, the person desiring to vote may
swear in his or her vote, and the cleo
ton board MUST accept the ballot.
Persons who have not received their
second papers, if they are foreign
born, cannot vote. Wives of men not
citizens cannot vote, even though such
woman was born in this country.
Women who marry citizens thereby
gain the right to vote.
Report should be made to the states
attorney of any person who stations
himself or herself near the polling
place for the purpose of trying to in
fluence voters, as the nonpartisans
have secretly instructed their work
ers to do. :
In Exeter precinct, certain indie
pendents refused to act as Judge of
election for fear the leaguers might
mob them. In any precinct where it
is believed that such conditions might
prevail, application should be made to
the states attorney for a peace Of
ficer to be present and maintain or
der.
Any person can watch the counting
of votes and should object if it ap-
pears the election board is not fairly
counting the ballots.

SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Among the farm organizations in

work was the American Farm Bureau

scattered farmers to. testify it did
something that as far as I know had
never been done before. 1t asked
the real farmers, back home. to speak
up for themselves. This was done,
