 Hess Some Mystified
 MT. Hess confessed that he was deeply mystified over the memorial Lurking under it's seemingly inno- cent surface he thought he could see some one who wanted to acquire 9 considerable portion of Alaska. It might be someone, he said, who had his eyes on an at present unknown Alaskan oil field who hoped to in duce Alaskan veterans to file on # en masse and then secure it Cor a nominal cost
 Viewing with alarm the dangers threatened, the committee adopted in haste the proposed amendment with out dissenting vote.
 Walker Explains Memorial J. P. Walker, former Commander of the Department of Alaska of the American Legion organization, who has been closely connected with the memorial. who appeared in the Sen ate Chamber shortly after the dis cussion began, was extended the privileges of the floor and answered certain questions regarding other sections of the memorial. Following those he explained the history of the movement for a Territorial bonus for former service men. He stated that the American Legion members had expressed desire for the land bonus. for the reason that they knew that the Territorial treasury was not in a condition to pay any material cash bonus but did believe that they could get the land and not only benefit themselves but the Territory as we'll

Barton's Electric Plant

The electric plant of Barton
village, the generating units
being located on the Clyde riv-
er falls at West Charleston,
serves a large area of Orleans
County. We were surprised to
learn that this plant supplies
Barton village, Orleans, Glover
West Glover, Albany, Irasburg
Coventry, Evansville, Brown
ington Centre, and Westmore.
The financial condition shows
very small indebtedness. Six
thousand dollars of the debt
was retired the past year and
power is being sold as low as
one cent per W-watt. Doubt
less this particular publicly
owned utility will pay the up
keep Of Barton village. This
village has also an ideal water
supply. May pond, 312 miles
awayand about 500 feet above
the village level, is it's source
Of supply; and to-day lawns
ard gardens can have all they
require. Up to the pesent no
restrictions have been placed
upon its use, and the annual
rate is far below any neighbor-
ing village. While Barton is
certainly favored by natural
physical conditions, it must
have citizens with a vision.
Some man took a long look a
head when about rs years ago
he purchased Clyde River Falls
at West Charleston for $500
making possible the comfort OF
so many homes and business
places.

Editor Frank Howe
Tours Vermont

Editor Frank Howe has been
riding some of the unfrequent-
ed bypaths and back roads of
the state. Many of his para
graphs commenting upon the
experiences of this 1000 mile
journey have been widely cop
led. The disclosures and ad-
missions, that in and abutting
the crossroads are the finest
pictures in the state, and it oc-
currs to us that when these by
paths and crossroads become
state highways, the natural
beauty will be destroyed. A
straight, uniform gradient is
not necessarily a member or &
desirable feature of a picture.
We here quote from the Ben
nington Banner ::"Perhaps the
most astonishing and remarka-
bic highway feature in Yer
mont is the natural ''roller-
coaster" road between Island
Pend and Norton Mills. This
is a new road built by Stod
Bates ten years ago over some
Cd the wrinkles on the face of
Essex County and is worth
driving a hundred miles to en-
joy. Up and down, over and
over again, this is the most u
nlque road feature in Vermont.
l. ought to be advertised in he
publicity books gotten out by
the state but we never noticed
even a MENTION" 1t is to Ver-
mont's credit that it is rich in
undiscovered picturequeness
and we believe is to be the
great lure of the rest-seeker in
the days to come. Mr. Howe
here compares the cement and
gravel highway :"Driving from
Richford and Enosburg Falls
to Burlington by way of Essex
Junction gives one a chance to
compare the gravel roads of
the Missisquoi valley with the
new cement road past Fort
Ethan Allen. In good wealth
er, and not too dry, the compar
son is all in favor of the
gravel"

Many Enjoying the Bathing
Opportunity Offered by
Island Ponds Bathing Beach

One does not need to journey
to Old Orchard or any other
beach to enjoy the pleasures Of
bathing, or boating, for altho
heretofore it has not had the
frequency of bathers as this
summer, there exists along the
shores of the lake in Island
Pond, a half mile of beach from
which beautiful view of the
island may be had.
Across the good road for mo-
torjng lies a park, at present
mostly in its natural state, but
net a very vivid imagination is
necessary to behold before US a
beautiful place for recreation,
for young and old, less than
one-half mile from the business
section of the town, around on
Birch Point. 1t requires assist
ance financially, to make this
ar up to date pleasure resort.
1t might need the aid of the self
denial society, not of denial of
recessaries, but of the sort that
would leave a monument to
their memories which wind nor
wave could not wash away
from the beach.

TEMPLE MALE TRIO

The Temple Male Trio provided an
excellent entertainment at the opera
house Saturday evening as the sec
ond number of the lyceum course.
This organization is comprised OF
three young men who are masters
in the art Of high class entertain
ment There was something doing
every minute of the evening and they
were very generous with their en-
cores, a point which goes a long way
in making the appearance of any
group of players a success with their
audience. The three men make an adj
mirable combination of talent. Ac-
customed as most of us are to hear
ing similar programs handled by
quartets, the performance of the trio
came as a distinct surprise, they
handling all the usual quartet num-
bers as well and better than many of
the well known quartets.
Individual mention for the success
of the evening must include the three
members, because each one did his
full share and proved as interesting
character as the others. Paul
Klingstedt has an excellent tenor
voice that was shown to good adj
vantage in the many selections given,
and his cigar-box fiddle with one
string was the source of much amuse-
ment John Kelly appeared in remark
ably fine voice and his readings were
good. Leonard Hoffman, the basso,
made hit with his Swedish lumber
yack" representations. Hoffman halls
from Bessemer, Michigan, and appar-
emily knew the lumber jack charac-
teristics to perfection.
AS an added attraction, and one
that came as big surprise to their
audience, not being advertised, the
trio carried set of chimes upon
which they gave several pleasing Sc
lections that were well received by
the large audience that greeted them,
The popularity of this trio and OF
the first number of the lyceum course
shown here this season, proves that
for real high class entertainment, de-
signed to bring a variety of numbers
before small town audience, the
lyceum course is feature that no
town should be without.

ENL ARGING RESORT

L. F. zimpelmann and Herman
Korth, the well known firm of con-
tractors, who have built many of the
resort buildings and private homes
which adorn the Eagle Chain, are ex-
ceptionally busy this winter making
extensive improvements at the Hem
lock resort, owned by Messrs. Ulrich
and Kloepfel. A large addition to the
main lodge, several new cottages of
modern design, which greatly in
creases the capacity for guests, boat
house, power house and dancing pa
vilion, are all to be completed for
the opening of the tourist season.
Messrs. Berger and Schaffer, Chi
cagoans, who are annual visitors at
the Hemlock, are building there also.
Mr.. Schaffer especially will have one
of the finest summer homes ON the
lakes ready for occupancy next sum-
mer.

Total

Judging from the tone of the bas-
ket ball article in last weeks Minoc-
qua Times, the defeat Eagle High
administered to them last Friday, on
their own floor, must have come as
big surprise. The Times says:
Eagle River is next BY that the
basket ball team of the Minocqua
High School means that Eagle River,
like Woodruff and the Minocqua City
Team, is next to succumb to the Min
ocqua attack, Although the locals
lost two games to Rhinelander, one
on their own floor and one on Rhine
landers floor, they have learned a
great deal by their two defeats, and
have resolved that there shall be no
more on the local floor this year 1t
must be remembered that Minocqua's
team had only one experienced man
on it, but the whole team has now
gained enough experience to show
altogether different form when they
go up against Eagle River Coach
Marshall of Eagle River states that
he has four old men on the team, the
same team which lost to Minocqua

INTER SIC MASQUERADE

The fifth annual masquerade ball OF
the Inter Sc will be held at the Ly-
ceum opera house Friday evening,
January 28th. Music will be supplied
by the Hazel M Crawford orchestra
of Rhinelander, an organization that
has made many visits here, and one
which can be relied upon to do their
share to make the evening sue
cess. Supper will be served by the
ladies of ST. Ignatius' Guild. During
the early hours of the evening only
those in full mask will be allowed to
dance. After the unmasking the floor
will be open for all.
These annual masQuerades have
always proven a big success on the
social calendar of the pre-Lenten
season and Judging from efforts now
started for the 1921 affair, it will be
up to the same high standard as
those of previous years. Proceeds of
these dances are always donated by
the club for some civic benefit
Last year the ladies turned over a
neat sum to the band boys for their
uniform fund, and similar disposi-
ton will be made of the profits this
year. Plan on being there in mask
and have one of those enjoyable eve
nings that the Inter Sc are noted for
providing.

Birnamwood High plays here to-
night. January II. This promises to
be an exceptionally fast game. With
the confidence inspired by beating
the speedy Minocqua team on its
own floor last week, and with the
memories of Birnamwood's victory
over the locals last season, the boys
will undoubtedly put up good ex-
hibition in an effort to even things
up between the two teams. The game
is scheduled to start at 8:15. As a
preliminary there will be a game Of
volley ball between two girls teams.
This is an innovation in high school
athletics here and one that promises
good results. If you have never seen
a game of volley ball, come early
and see the girls play The game
starts at 1880. After the two games
the Birnamwood team will be enter
tanned at social dance.
The Eagle River Band will play a
few selections during the evening.

The next scene on the political hOr-
lion in Wisconsin is the contest over
5peakership of the assembly, when

son. The caucuses will settle the
speakership contest, however. Both
houses of the legislature are over

islative Offices during the session
There are four candidates for

Waukesha county, has perhaps the
largest following. A CAREFUL canvass
has been made by Wallace Ingals,
Racine. William Olson, Iowa county,
who served in the last session of the

There seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that there will be no opposi-

i've consecutive sessions of the legis-

Members of the Wisconsin legislar
ture receive a salary of $500 for two
sessions. With the price of rooms and

be sufficient to pay their expenses.
Farmers will control the assembly

ahead in the senate. Records in the
Office of the secretary of state show
that A out of 100 assemblymen are
engaged in agriculture, and that 8
