tiles of the river at that point and Mr..
Meyers was interested in what he saw,
which finally led to the present oper-
ationS at the now well-known dam site.
Facetiously, he suggested that if local
fishermen would cross the mosquitoes
with the fish of the Flambeau, they
could get bite every minute.
J. G. Metcalf, of Lincoln county, can
didate for the assembly, James Oliver,
now representing the first Brown coun-
ty district, and j. d. Grandine, repre-
senting Florence, Oneida and Forest
counties in the assembly, were intro
duced by the postmaster, and each re-
sponded.
Sense and Nonsense
There was considerable expectancy
when Sol Levitan, Republican nOmi-
nee for state treasurer, was called on
for a speech. Sols reputation as a
humorist had evidently preceded him
here. The treasury nominee is a hui
morist, but he mixes common sense
with humor and the mixture on this
occasion was quite pleasing, as he had
his audience in an almost continuous
roar of laughter. The fact that Mr..
Levitan had practically no schooling
makes him appreciate the value of ed
ucation and he advised others to get
all they can AS for him he said he
got his in the ''schoOl of hard knocks. y
He appeared to be in full sympathy
with the ambitions of the people OF
Northern Wisconsin, and he would be
especially considerable of the farmers
and settlers who are constantly in a
disadvantageous business position be-
cause they cannot put the prices on
their products, as other business men
can.
The Governor
Announcing that he had left the best
to the last, Toastmaster Summertime
invited Governor John j. Blaine to adj
dress the people of Ladysmith assem-
bled here. The audience honored the
governor by standing up and cheering.
The governor said that he had acquired
considerable information on Northern
Wisconsin during this and on previous
trips through this part of the state
and that he appreciated the difficulties
under which this northern part is be-
ing settled and developed and his SYM
pathies are with the struggling plo-
neers who are making this country.
He knows of the beauties and the bOun-
ties of nature in Northern Wisconsin
and wants some of them, at least, pre-
served He called attention to the fact
that the northern half of the state is
we'll represented In state government,
on the state commissions and on the
state supreme court bench, more than
half of the supreme court members be-
ing from the north part of the state.
He told several amusing stories, and
in retaliation told one on Sol Levitan
who had broadly intimated that the
Scotch-the governor is Scotch des-
cent-was an unusually thrifty people.
The governor said there was just one
Hebrew in Scotland and he was too
poor to get out,
Ladysmith's popular male quartet,
composed of A. NJ. Alden, George +.
Luell, Wesley Moore, and Ernie Han
son, sang several selections, that were
greatly enjoyed.
Party To Big Falls
The visiting party was taken in au-
tomobiles by Ladysmith citizens to Big
Falls dam Thursday morning, where
they were the breakfast guests of the
L. E. Myers Company and where they
shad the opportunity to see the power
dam of which they heard so much.
They returned to the city and at 80
left for Barron and Rice Lake to visit
the progressive people of those cities
and to see the wonderful agricultural
development surrounding them.
