EARLY DAY HISTORY
SHOULD BE SECURED
Old Time Dug-Out Canoe Re-
calls Fact That Early Day
Was One For StOutest
Hearts In Pioneers

A walk down River street Sunday
and by the residence of w. A. Brad
ford was Of interest in seeing relic
Of the early pioneering days in the
way of an old canoe and some early
history furnished by Mr.. Bradford,
one of the first white men that was
engaged in the logging of white pine
along the Wisconsin River between
Wausau and Eagle River. The canoe,
hewed from a solid log of white pine
was frequently seen in those days,
in fact it was the only means of
communication then as there had
been no roads built or even cut out.
Mr.. Bradford helped to build many of
these canoes and stated one spring
that a crew of men worked several
days in making four CANOES from
trees that stood on the present court
house site. 1t took a tree 40 inches
In diameter at the small end to make
one of these 36 it. forerunners of
lilo IN CSCAL oy otCAA "a A1S46C%tAOA c1AAA
four men could turn out two week.
When completed they would carry
ton of freight and two men would
make the trip from Wausau here in
eight days. 1t would be a difficult
job for a good carpenter equipped
with modern tools to do now, and
when it is remembered that then, the
tool supply consisted mainly Of a
saw and axe, it was remarkable
feat that none but men accustomed
to hardship and weary labor could
endure or would A large volume
could be filed with true but highly
interesting tales of those days which
thoroughly tested out the staying
qualities Of the men Of that time
1t will be a matter of future regret
for the village of Eagle River if the
strictly authentic early history of the
town and surrounding country carried
in the mental grips of such old resi-
dents as Mr.Bradford and Finn Law
Ter and a few others isl not
placed on record where the resident
of fifty years hence can find it.

Young Man, What Have
You Cost Your Parents?
YOUTH, ENTERING MANHooD's
ESTATE, HAS GREAT DEAL
TO REFLECT UPON
So you are twenty-one


And you stand up cleared-eyed
clear-minded, to look all the worlG
squarely in the face. You are man!
Did you ever think, son, how much
it cost to make a man out Of you;
Someone has figured up the cost
in money Of rearing child. He says
to bring up young man to legal
age, care for him and educate him
costs a lot of money.
But that isn't ALL
You have cost your father many
hard knocks and short dinners and
gray streaks in his hair; and your
mother oh, my boy, you will never
know! You have cost her days and
nights of anxiety, and wrinkles in her
dear face, and heartaches and sacri
fees.
1t has been expensive to grow you
but
If you are what we think you are
you are worth all you cost and much
more. Be sure of this. While your
father does not say much but ssHello,
son!" way down in his tough, staunch
heart he thinks you are the finest
ever; and as for the little mother,
she simply cannot keep her love and
pride for you out of her eyes You
are man now.
And some time you must step into
your fathers shoes. He wouldn't like
to have you call him old, but just the
same he isn't as young as he used to
be. You see, young man, he has been
working pretty hard for more than
twenty years to help you up! and al
ready your mother is beginning to
lean on you.
Doesn't that sober you-tWenty-one
Your father has done fairly well.
but you can do better. You may not
think so, but he does. He has given
you a better chance than he had. In
many ways you can begin where he
left off. He expects a great dead
from you, and that is why he has
tried to make a man Of you. Don't
finch, boy!
The world will try you out It will
put to test every fiber in you; but
you are made Of good stuff once the
load is fairly strapped on your
shoulders, you will carry it and
scarcely feel tiff only there be the
willing and cheerful mind. All hail
you on the threshold.
It's high time you are beginning
to pay the freight-your debts to
your father and mother You vii
never pay them all, the love, the
care, the anxieties, the tears, the la
bors,. the sacrifices, the hopes, the
plans, ETC., that they made, and sui
fered and endured and went through
for you. But you can do something
you can make part repayment by
kindness sympathy, attention, respect
obedience, Difference, generosity ant
affection.

FOR LAND CLEARING
NOT REPRESENTATION
Is Opinion Expressed By E. S.
Shepard of Oneida County
And His Remarks Fit
Our Own Villas

The Rhinelander Daily News last
week published an interview with E.
S. Shepard, one of Rhinelander's old
and prominent residents which we
reprint for it's practical remarks on
reforeStation in Oneida county and
which apply with still more force to
Villas county for the reason forestry
promoters look upon this county as
a still more fertile field for their ex-
periments. The Paul Bunyan hammer
alluded to is also available to Villas
county farmers by communicating
with County Agent Gibson.
"Mr E. S. Shepard expresses the
opinion that there is comparatively
little land in Oneida county which
would pay for an active campaign
for reforestation There is, of course,
land which will never be suitable
for agricultural purposes. 1t is his
opinion that this land is suitable only
for the growth of timber, but that
it will not be worth while to hire
foresters to supervise this work He
believes that it would take fully 100
years for timber to reach marketable
size, and that the interest charges,
and other expenses incurred during
this time would make the timber far
too expensive for ordinary use. Such
land as is absolutely unfit for any
other purposes, however, can be very
profitable charged on the books, al.
most as dead loss, and left to grow
trees by itself. If continually pro-
tected from fire, nature working
through the native trees, and small
animals, such as squirrels and chip
hunks, will re-forest these tracts in
time and they will eventually pro
duce some timber.
However, it is Mr.. Shepard's con-
viction that most of the cutover land
in Oneida county will pay its largest
returns when used for agricultural
purposes. Land that is too rough for
cultivation can be sown to clover and
used for pasture. The largest profit
will result when farms are cleared
and put in growing cultivated crops,
especially small grains and potatoes.
Land so cleared and farmed will be
continually producing a crop, and will
have paid for itself long before re-
forested land has begun to show signs
of any improvement. Some definite
action, however, should be taken to
make use of this cut over land, in
some way or other, because as it
stands now, it is not doing anybody
any good. The Land Clearing Associa-
ton recognized the fact that the logi-
cal use for this land is for farm crops
and will work on that basis.
I'm closing, Mr. Shepard said that
Paul Bunyan would gladly extend the
use of his famous hammer to the set
tiers of Oneida county in this cam
paign. This handy little device, was
explained briefly at the Potato Show,
but more definite details can be Sc.
cured by calling at the county agent
Office"

when the local and imported labor is
given employment it means that every
man having business connections with
that town and vicinity will benefit as
well as labor. 1t is a Community in
vestment. This labor naturally spends
its wages locally all conditions be-
ing favorable. What right, moral or
otherwise, has any man to profit there
by, without contributing his share in
the investment that is in his patron
age to local merchants, enhancing To-
cal markets, real estate and other legi-
innate local investments?

Minnesota Legislature
Aids Settlers Clearing
FINANCIAL. HELP BY LONG TIME
LOANS SOMETHING NEEDED
IN WISCONSIN

From the Biwabik Times Of Mime
sofa we learn that the last Legislature
Of the state passed a land clearing
law that could be tried with benefit
in the northern part Of Wisconsin
The counties do the work for which
the settler pays four per cent Of the
cost of clearing the first year, fifteen
per cent at the end OF the fifth year
and the balance in a period Of fifteen
years. It is being widely adopted in
st. Louis county and it is believed
will do more to boom agriculture in
Minnesota than anything yet attemp
ted. If Upper Wisconsin could avail
itself of such a law, there is vast
area that could be brought to be OF
much use to the people of those sec
tons and the entire state as well
within the next ten years. 1t is a
matter worthy of the earnest atten-
ton of the Upper Wisconsin Develop
ment Association, embracing the
upper Wisconsin River Valley and
with which body Eagle River and Vii.
as county have a connection. If we
were to suggest slogan for next
years political candidates to make a
campaign on, it would consist largely
of practical aid to clear land.
Land clearing in st. Louis county
was given the greatest impetus in
years by the county commissioners
last week when they authorized Spe-
cial County Attorney Adams to pre-
pare papers for clearing of land by
the county to be paid for by settlers
in period of twenty years. The set
tiers will pay 4 per cent Of the cost
of clearine the first year, Is per cent
Of the cost by the end of the fifth
year, and the balance of the cost in
period of fifteen years. The county
will issue bonds to cover the cost.
The first land to be cleared will be
from 500 to 600 acres between Rice
lake and Pike lake owned by truck
gardeners in Woodland and on the
outskirts OF that section. This land
is owned by ten farmers.
A law, described as Chapter 155 of
the laws of 1921 gives the county
authority to issue bonds and to fur
nish the capital for the clearing.
* The first step to be taken is the ap
pointing of civil engineer for the
surveying of the 500 to 600 acres
that are to be cleared, the providing
of machinery for the clearing of the
land and then the clearing. The sys-
tenn to be used is the same as that
Of the construction Of bitches, the
payments by land benefited being on
the same basis as the land clearing
AS required by law, the ten petition
ers for the clearing filed with the
county commissioners $500 bond

THANKS, KIDS, THANKS

Eagle River passed sane Hallow-
cen Monday evening, due perhaps to
the fact that several extra patrolmen
were on duty, or possibly because the
zest of joy created from disturbing
other peoples possessions is becom-
ing less as the years go on. Whatever
the cause, all citizens were truly
thankful not to have lot of extra
work to perform the next morning.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

1t is the serious diseases that
colds lead to that makes them dan
gerous. They prepare the system for
the reception and development of the
germs of influenza, pneumonia, tuber-

whooping cough and measles. You
are much more likely to contract
those diseases when you have a cold.
For that reason you should get rid
