Northern Wis. Resort
Assn. Wants a Name
NEW ORGANIZATION WILL PAY
$50 FOR THREE OF BEST DE
SCRIPTlVE TITLES

Z
officials of the Northern Wisconsin
Resort Association want a better name
for that organization. Some thing
broader and more descriptive is desir-
ed To this end the president, William
d. Conner. Jr of Laona, has authoriz-
ed a contest for name and a prize
of $25 viii be given to the person
making the best suggestion. Prizes
Of SIS and $40 viii be given for the
second and third best suggestions
Everybody in Northern Wisconsin is
eligible and there are no conditions
attached
Rules for the contest are now being
prepared and printed copies will be
sent to every newspaper in Northern
Wisconsin for free distribution to
those interested.
The reason for getting a more suit
able name is due to the fact that
name. Resort association" has caused
a general misunderstanding as to its
scope. 1t is not, as President Conner,
himself a lumberman, points out, an
organization Of resort owners, but one
planned to be made up Of every citi-
zen in Northern Wisconsin who de-
sires, to see this section develop in
every way through modern methods of
organized effort: The tourist business
affords the greatest opportunity for
acquiring new wealth and interesting
new citizens in this section of the
state, but the association will not
stop there. Any activity that is for
the general welfare of the northern
half of the state will be included in
the work of the organization.
The name of the Minnesota organi-
cation, the Ten thousand Lakes of
Minnesota association, is a splendid
one and Immediately gives a pleasant
picture to the citizen of another state
A name is wanted for the Northern
Wisconsin association that will be de
seriptive of this section or one that
will best state the purposes of the
association.

Locals Won Third One
Makes Three Straight
EAGLE RIVER HIGH DEFEAT Ell
CLIO HIGH BY A SCORE OF
81 TO IS

There is nothing much to be said
about the game between the Eagle
High and Elcho High, except that
Elcho is not in our class so far as
Basket Ball is concerned. However
we must mention that the Elcho boys
and especially their coach and Prin-
cipal Mr. Mckinney were good sports
men. They took their defeat with
smile and besides entertained US
royalty while in their town.
The local squad was met at the
depot by the Elcho players and shown
to the best Hotel in town, "The
Musky Inn" where they we're given
excellent service and at greatly re-
duced rates. After the game the Ell
cho High School girls gave the boys
spread at the school house that
sure struck the right spot with the
local players.
All the boys played a good clean
game with Belongy the hero Of the.
contest scoring ~ of the sixty-seven
points
Elcho will play at Eagle River the
18th of January and we are surely
going to give them as fine treatment
as they gave us. We are planning
to try out the second team against
them when they come to Eagle River
This week Friday night the Argonne
High plays at Eagle. River with a
preliminary game by the Three Lakes
High and our second team.
Next week Friday Crandon High
plays their return game at Eagle.

SOME REAL THRILLERs

Robt. Felt, and NJ. d. Keyes of
Eagle Waters resort pulled off some
stunts on Eagle lake the first week
in December that are not apt to be
repeated very. soon and will be- inter
esting tales to hand down to their
grandchildren, providing that their
taste for adventure permits them to
live long enough to have any Anyway
this is what they did On the 1st day
of December the lake was entirely
free from ice and they crossed the
lake with a rowboat and Evinrude
motor. That was quite remarkable as
never before had the lake been open
so late in the season. The weather
man got busy Immediately however,
and on the 9Th Bob tested the ice by
walking across the lake. On the 18th,
they took Fett's Ford roadster and
drove across and back which won
them the championship as being the
first men on record to use Eagle
lake as an automobile speedway. As
an all around spectacular speciality
team, the. name Of Felt & Keyes
are entitled to head the bills as hair
raising thrill producers.

FAIRBANKS GOOD FORTUNE

Fairbanks papers just received reflect the new era established in that region by the com pletion of the American Governments rail way, known officially as "The Alaska Rail. way" The Fairbanks camp has few men work ing on it's placer properties in winter, but the community has developed new hope and optimism prevades the entire region.
 Trains are operating regularly between Fair banks and the Alaskan coast. Freight, pas senger and express rates have been cut heav- fly as compared to the old traiffs when only river and trail routes served the camp, and trains, operating steadily, are giving the Fairbanks district and the several hundred miles of intervening country regular service.
 The railway was built to develop that vast territory, and the spirit reflected in the Fair banks papers and in other reports Indicate that the benefits to the region will be incalcul- able The whole suggests that development that may be expected in Yukon or other north ern portions of Canada once the Canadian Gov ernment decides that the time has come to encourage the opening of the region with a big trunk railway which can serve the country the year round.
 The general business created by the advent of the railway apparently has given the region the desired general stimulus.
 It is somewhat refreshing and unique to see advertisements in the Fairbanks paper now announcing bananas in the Fairbanks mark ct in the winter months. Fresh oysters, fresh meats fruits and perishables of all kinds also are announced. Coal is advertised on the Fair banks market at eight dollars a ton. Other equally important new features are reflected in the news and advertising columns of the paper. The whole is an eye-opener a real rev elation of what it means to have great rail way system penetrate the heart of the North land. The new era in the lower Yukon country will make sourdoughs everywhere rejoice and will make the world sit up and recognize that Alaska has been redeemed to a great extent from it's isolation and that Alaska indeed can boast a new era and look forward to a great and important future n
 It is to be hoped that Yukon will not have to wait many years before she also will have a railway penetrating it to the center and hast ening the development of her natural re- sources.-Dawson News.

VALDEZ ASKS WHY?

In recent number of Lesilies Illustrated Weekly there appeared an article written by one Oswald F. Schuette. The gentleman IS pretty we'll posted on the subject of which he writes, and we would not find the slight est fault were it not that a man of Alaska was used to illustrate the article Other illus trations were also used, among them one 01 the Cliff mine at Valdez, yet the map shows neither Valdez nor it's famous landlocked larbor All this moves a gentleman ln Chi cago, who is acquainted with Valdez to m ouire "Why is not Valdez down on this map?' The question is a pertinent one, but the an swer is not easy. Why is Valdez omitted from a map when such towns as Shungnak, Nolan, Kotzebue, Deering, Candle, Council Golovln, Unalakleet, Nulato, Andreafski, Bethel, Holy Cross Bettles, Nulato, Fort Gibbon Eagle, Circle Chicken, Yukutat and dozen other towns of the same calibre are shown, but Val dez, the oldest incorporated town north of Juneau; situated in the richest lode mining section of Alaska, the headquarters of the dis trict court for the Third Judicial division, the headquarters of the Washing ngton-Alaska Mili- tary Cable and Telegraph system, is conspic- uous by its absence, even when picture ot one of it's mines is used as an illustration of the resources of the territory.
 Is it because Valdez has been asleep and has become forgotten? If so now is the time to awaken and put the town on the map and put it there to stay It is useless to blame the ignor ance of the writer or publisher for the map, for they may continue in ignorance unless in structed, and it is up to the people of Valdez to furnish this instruction. No one else is in terested in teaching the world about Valdez and what it has to offer; no one will benefit to the extent that the people of this town will by putting Valdez in that prominent position on the map to which it is entitled, and now is the time to get busy. It is far easier, more satisfactory task to give Valdez the promin- ence it deserves than to answer the inquiry why it is not on the map.-Valdez Miner.
