Want Better Name For Resort
Association.

Rhinelander-Of Officials of the
Northern Wisconsin Resort Associa-
ton want better name for that or
ganization. Something broader and
more descriptive is desired. To
this end the president, William d.
Conner, Jr., of Laona, has authoriz-
ed contest for name, and a prize
of $25 will be given for the person
making the best suggestion. Prizes
of SIS and $40 will 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 dis
tribution to those interested.
The reason for getting NOR,
suitable name is due to the fact that
the name Resort Association" has
caused general misunderstanding as
to its scope. 1t is not, as President
Conner, himself lumberman, points
O0bg al VI IGSOIL OMuSIS,
but one planned to be made up of
every citizen in Northern Wisconsin
who desires to see this section de-
velop 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 well
fare of the northern half of the state
will be included in the work of the
organization.
The name of the Minnesota or
ganization, the Ten Thousand Lakes
of Minnesota association, is
splendid one and Immediately gives
pleasant picture to the citizens of
another state. A name is wanted
for the Northern Wisconsin associa-
ton that will be description of this
section or one that will best state the
purpose of the association.

WANT NINE
LAW CHANGED
Resolution Read at County Board
Meeting Wants Present System
OF Mine Assessment Changed.
TAX COMMISSION SHOULD
HAVE POWER.
Taxpayers League Believes Tha,
State Tax Commission Should
Assess Mining Properties.

II a resolution read at the meeting
OF the county board of supervisors
Tuesday is adopted the next leeisla.
ture will be asked to change the law
affecting the assessment of minino
properties in Iron county. The
supervisors were given time to con.
slider the resolution and the county
clerk Is preparing copies to be mailed
to members of the county board and
at the next meeting on Dec. 81 the
resolution will be voted on.
The resolution, which is a LENGTHY
one prepared by Assessor of Incomes
Pearce Tomkins, wants the law
changed so that the state tax COM
mission would have the power to
make the assessment of mining
properties for purposes of taxation
The power now rests with the state
geological department.
1t is charged that the present
system of making the assessments of
mining properties is unsatisfactory
and unjust, and to remedy the alleg-
ed dete-t the resolution would have
the law changed.
The resolution is sponsored by the
Iron County Taxpayers League and
IS the result Of action taken at n
meeting of the league several weeks
ago when a committee was named to
investigate the matter.
Other business transacted at Tues
days meeting of the board included
the reading Of the annual reports of
county officers.
The highway commissioner was
instructed to have pocket road maps
Of Iron county printed and prepared
for distribution next year.
In the opinion of the Iron county
board of supervisors the matter of a
county engaging a county nurse
should be optional with the county.
A resolution to this effect was
adopted, The present law makes
it compulsory for all counties in
Wisconsin to hire county nurses.

DAM AT IRON RIVER GIVES WAY
TUESDAY MORNING.
Big Head of Water Washes Away
Bridges and Does Considerable
Damage to Other Property.

Ashland-An unusual catastropLo
Tor this season of the year occurred
at Iron River Tuesday morning when
the big dam of the Iron River
Water, Light & Telephone COMPANY
went out, taking with it the Northern
Pacific railway bridge, the Upson
grlst mill dam, small hydraulic
dam owned by the lighting company.
the steel bridge over the Iron river,
known as the fair grounds bridge
poles and wires of the Wisconsin
Telephone company which put out of
commission all of the five Ashland
Duluth toll lines besides badly
damaging the Epson grist mill struc-
ture. The big head of water rush
ed down the channel of the Iron river
and 1t is expected that other bridges
farther toward the lake have been
carried away and other damage
done.
Wisconsin State Highway No. 10
between Ashland and Superior passes
over the dam at Iron River, the
road being built at the top of the
dam. The dam going out will mean
that this highway is blocked to all
traffic and Iron River is cut off from
the head of the lakes by rail and
highway. The bridge of the South
Shore railroad, which is above the
dam that gave way, was badly
weakened by ice and the strong
urrent and no train will be allowed
over it until inspectors have pro-
nounced it safe. In grading No. 10
highway the past summer an embank-
ment of sand was thrown up near
the steam power plant and this was
all that saved that structure from
being demolished, which would have
meant that Iron River would have
been without light or power.
The catastrophe was started when
a small dam at Mud Lake gave way
during the night. This dam,
situated about a half mile up the
river from the big dam, was repaired
last summer in order to hold bigger
reserve of water and was made
strong enough to hold the amount of
water it was holding in reserve. 1t
was an old dam, built in the lumber
ing days, and had not been in active
use for years until this summer when
1t was repaired.
