Rain Stopped Several
Fast Games Sunday
LOCALS HAD WINNEPE GOING
IN FOUR FAST ROUNDS
MARION SUNDAY

1t looked as though the rain came to
Winnepe's aid Sunday afternoon and
saved them from trimming at the
hands Of Eagle River out at the camp
boys athletic field Rain stopped the
game after four innings had been play
ed with the score 4 to in favor of
the home team, and every indication
pointed to a continuance of the bril-
liant work of the winners. They
played the game Sunday as it should
be played. Plenty of pep, teamwork
that was we'll nigh errorless and a
hitting streak that put the ball in the
woods several, times we're the factors
that held the camp boys down. Paul
was back on the mound in all his old
time form, getting eight or nine strike
outs in the four innings. Ewald back
of the plate, held him splendidly.
Fans were satisfied with the show
ing the locals made That's encourag
ing. From the sidelines it hasn't look
ed as though everything was running
the smoothest in the team this year.
They got away to a bad start and it
has taken some time to get the wrinks
les ironed out But now the team is
well balanced, they're getting team
work and the remainder of tbs season
ought to show snappy games.
Sunday there is a game booked that
should bring out every fan Marion,
one of the fastest downstatet aggrega-
tons, comes here. Wulk, one of the
Marion players, was in the Winnepe
lineup last Sunday We have his
word for it, that if Eagle plays the
game it did out at the camp, Marion
is very likely to go home with the
small end of the score. A good repre-
sentation on the b1eachers will help
turn the trick. Let's see you there.
For the benefit of those fans who did

Gov. Blaine Defended
Pardon Record in Talk
SPOKE HERE TUESDAY ON HIS
CAMPAIGN SWING OVER
THE STATE

Assailing the corporations of the
state for Withholding their income tax
returns and defending his use of exc
cutive c1emency, Governor Blaine adj
dressed Eagle River itizens gathered
around the Hotel Austin Tuesday
morning on his campaign tour of the
state.
The governor produced figures show
ing how the treasures of the state,
county and towns had been enriched
by the findings of his tax investiga-
tions and drew the conclusion that
with enough tax experts on the job
the work of gathering up those por-
tions of corporation income taxes
could be made very beneficial to the
state In this connection he defended
his action in calling the last special
session of the legislature in order to
get funds for these Investigations,
stating that the return from one cor
poration alone had more than paid for
the expense of the special session
On the subject Of the pardoning
power, an issue which has been raised
in the campaign, he declared that he
had not been generous enough and
quoted records of other governors to
support his statement He went into
detail on a good many of the individ-
1o1 0oct In hi
right of executive c1emency, but did
not touch upon the Christ pardon and
the Blaine-Rodd controversy Of Oneida
county. Speaking along the line of
pardons he took an awful wallop at
the Rhinelander Daily News and
few other papers in lie state opposed
to his reelection, passing them the
short and ugly word for some of the
statements they had published in this
connection.
Naturally enough the governor had
nothing but condemnation for the
Committee of Forty-four and its can
didates, but he failed to mention his
connections with the La Toilette line
up His impassioned pleas for the SER
vice men and his affiliation with the
La Toilette crowd seemed somewhat
inconsistent to some of his hearers,
Judging from remarks heard after he
had concluded
His audience was not overly large
but judging from the reception accord
ed the governor, it appeared to be
Blaine audience.
The evening before, Governor Blaine
spoke to a packed house at the Armory
in Rhinelander From Eagle River he
went to Three Lakes for dinner and
from there to Crandon, where he was
scheduled for an afternoon meeting.

Eaele River Band Gets
Generous Aid on Debt
COOPERATION OF SUMMER VS.
IToRS APPRECIATED
BY BAND

The Eagle River Band, which IS
giving a series of concerts at the
various resorts, met with a splendid
reception at The Everett week ago
Thursday evening. Through the CO.
operation Of Mr. E. A. Everett, the
owner, the boat landing on Catfish
lake was fitted up with lights and
transformed into a temporary band
stand for the evening, making an ideal
place, for an open-air concert. Follow
ing their playing there, the band went
into the dance pavilion where few
more selections were rendered.
Judging from the reports heard
there during the evening, guests were
greatly surprised to find as good a
band as the Eagle River organization
in a place of this size. We have
their word for it that a good many
city bands, paid organizations, fall far
short of accomplishing what the local
band does in the way of music, in
strumentation and leadership. And
their comment was backed up by a
very liberal contribution to the band
treasury for the purpose of cleaning
I'D the Indebtedness incurred this
spring in outfitting the entire band
with new instruments, which is the
object in giving these concerts.
+1,o af WY
the band now numbering twenty-five
pieces, is an organization that is a
credit to the community, and it is get
ting the deserved support it should
have Something in the neighborhood
of a thousand dollars was borrowed
by the band early this year for new
instruments. To date a half of that
sum has been liquidated and it is the
hope of the members to get it all
cleaned up before the end of the
year. To do this series of concerts
is being played and the contributions
raised thereby go toward that end,
as well as all money the band received
for its services at other occasions.
This means that the individual mem
beers get nothing for their services
this year. They play for the pleasure
of it and in the belief that good
band is an asset to thy community.
Patrons at the Hemlock resort have
helped out wonderfully on two occas-
ions and the band will play again at
The Everett by request later in the
month.
Monday evening The Morey was fav-
ored with their music and the salts
faction it gave was evidenced by
substantial increase to the funds in
the treasury.
Friday evening the boys go to Gabe's
resort on Lost lake for a concert
and before the season is over a good
many people from all the resorts will
have had an opportunity to hear the
Eagle River Band.

Our trip to Phelps was primarily for
the purpose Of attending the land
clearing meeting. 1t was of value in
another way however, as it gave US
an opportunity to check up on some OF
the changes and Improvements that
have been taking place there in the
past year or so.
Approaching the village from this
way, many new farms are noticed and
on the bank of Big Twin lake many
fine summer homes are seen, some Of
which represent investments that indi-
cate that the owners do not have to
figure expense accounts very closely.
Just before reaching town the new
high school grounds are seen and a
good start has been made on the build
ing which will cost in the neigborhood
of $4,000, and is designed to meet
the needs of the town for years to
come. Tt is hoped to have it ready
for use by jan /, and from the appear
ance already presented and supple
mented by glance at the architects
plans the Phelps high school will be
an imposing looking structure, a
worthy monument to the foresight of
it's citizens who recognize that good
schools are one of the foundation
stones upon which the development OF
a community exists.
Upon entering the town notable
addition made about year ago is the
Phelps State Bank building, as neat
and modern a looking structure as is
seen anywhere. 1t is brick building,
nicely located and adequately design
ed to care for the present and future
needs of the community in the many
ways that local bank can help the
growth of territory tributary to it.
It does a thriving business and its
recent statement totalling around SITS,
900 shows that the wealth OF the
Phelps territory is rapidly increasing
as the surrounding country becomes
more developed. The bank is about
year old. It's growth during that
period has been steadily increasing,
offering to it's patrons every aid con
sistent with good banking principles.

On the Lake Emogene road we saw
the Indiana colony of settlers located
there by the Sanborn Company this
spring. In the short time they have
been there they have made great pro-
gress in building new homes and clear
ing farms on the new land Their
buildings are of the substantial type
and they have enough under cultiva-
ton this year to insure the making of
fine farms before great while. Their
results prove them to be an Industrious
colony of citizens of which the COM
munity can we'll be proud.
Over in the Sand lake country we
called at the Homer Galpin farm the
buildings of which we're newly erect
ed last year This year the owner
is making substantial improvements
in the way of big new dairy barn
and silo which will make the hand1-
ing of their dairy herd an easier pro-
b1em
We visited the Dr. Frankenthal sum-
mer home on Sand lake and there
found as palatial summer residence
as we ever hope to see in this north
country. The Frankenthal estate COW

natural beauty of the primeval for

owner can truly enjoy the wonders
of the north woods.
Space will not permit us to enumer-
ate all we saw of improvement and
development around the Phelps coun-
try. To one who has not been in that
section recently we urge trip there,
Get acquainted with your county. Get
out and meet the people. See what
others are doing to make this a bet
ter place to live in. You'll be sur
prised. The town of Phelps and its
surrounding territory is developing
fast bearing out the contention of
those who settled there years ago, that
it is destined to acquire and maintain
a leading place in the progress of
Villas county.

Christensen, it's president, we repro
duce interior and exterior views of the
building. The plan of the building
is we'll chosen, there being besides the
department needed for the banking
business, a presidents Office, directors
room, and room fitted up for the
convenience of the banks patrons,
K. Martin Thompson is vice-president
and Elmer Olsen is cashier of the in
stitution. Miss Ina Kanto is stenog-
rapher.
No trip to Phelps is complete with
out visit to the Hackley-P helps-Bon-
nell Company's department store, an
institution seldom found outside of
cities many times the size of Phelps.
In going through it Monday we MOTTO
ed the addition of meat market with
every necessary adjunct for the proper
handling of that line. 1t is an addi-
ton that gives patrons of the store
first class service with the best of
goods
East of Phelps we found another big
surprise in the construction of the Bur-
man .chool, now we'll under way.
This is a modern tWo-department
school building 28x7O feet with full
basement. The basement houses the
furnace and toilets as we'll as provid-
ing a large play room. Above that
the building is divided into the neces-
sary class rooms needed to serve a
large Finnish district. 1t is a modern
country school designed to bring to
the pupils residing in that district all
the, facilities needed for their edu-
cation and seldom found in the aver
age rural schoolhouse. This building
and the new high school show that
the educational program of the Town
of Phelps is in good hands. We do
not know the members of the boards
responsible for these splendid exam
pies of wise school policy, but we do
know that they are working in the
right direction in providing the very
best that can be obtained for the edu-
cation of coming citizens of that COM
munity Money spent in school pro
jects such as these cannot help but
bring large returns in the way OF
good citizenship.

SMASHED GLASS FRONT.

A Ford coupe driven by man from
Appleton, travelling salesman for the
Dohman Drug Co, crashed into one
of the large plate glass display win
dows of the Strong & Manley hard
ware store Wednesday afternoon. The
car was coasting into parking position
at the curb and according to its owner
failed to stop when the brakes refused
to work The fender of the car shat
tered the large plate and the front
wheel smashed a panel in the base
ment window. Loss of the plate glass
was covered by insurance. Several
pedestrians on the, sidewalk at the
time barely escaped injury when the
car went over the walk.

A good many in Villas county will
we believe be interested in the ac-

partment at a demonstration held at
Phillips on June 14th on the opera

less than the average person would
place it that it will be of interest to
every one interested in land clearing.
Although the first cost places it out
of reach of the small farmer, he figures
are worth considering by those in a
The Review editor has often thought
that there was great opportunity
awaiting any man in the cutlover
country who was financially able to-
go into the business of land clearing
for farmers on the basis of clearing
and breaking as many acres for any
farmer as he will sign up for and TAX
ing the mans note for the amount
until he could take off his first or
second crop 1t is a matter that could
be taken up by counties who were
able to do SO, providing the laws
would not restrict them from engaging
in such work, and the number of men
who would default on their payments
would be too small to be considered.
After watching all of the demonstra-
tons of the past week, we are further
convinced that as business enter
prise, it would be highly profitable for
the man or men who would take UP
the work, not only in this county but
every other which has the stump
problem to contend with, and there
would be no danger of running out

I'm Wheat Prices
Estimate Of Australian Sur
plus Reduced 4O,OOO,.
600 Bushels; Close I'm
changed to 5-8 Cent Up

CHICAGO, Oct. 2s.-Fresh advances
in the price Of wheat took place to-
day, owing more or less to 100000
00o-bushel reduction In estimates Of
the Australian cxportable surplus.
Profit taking sales at the last made the
market react. The close was unsettled
at the same as yesterdays finish to sSc
higher. Corn closed hc OFF to 14@%c
advance, oats up as to 3sc and pro-
visions unchanged to zoe lower.
Despite some waver!ng at first in wheat.
persistent commission house buying. co.
gether with absence Of any aggressive
selling led soon to n decided upturn. Tho
initial hesitancy was due mainly to asser-
tions that car orders issued last night
would bring about increased receipts at
Western terminal markets. It developed,
however. that the supply OF Western cars
on Eastern roads was small, and that no
big immediate change In traffic conditions
was looked for.
Besides unfavorable crop edvices from
Australia, continued dry weather over the
domestic winter wheat belt, with firmness
of premiums for cash wheat In ell mar
lar significance was attached to upturns
in price at Liverpool and Winnipeg, the
quotations representing the chief
importing country of the world, and Winni
peg the immense surplus OF the Canadian
Northwest. Reports that flour business
was good. especially at Minneapolis,
had an additional stimulating influence.
