Upper Wisconsin Still
The Opportunity Land
THOUSANDS OF ACRES AWAIT
DEVELOPMENT INTO FARMS
OF REAL VALUE

One hundred thousand farms of so
acres each are waiting development in
upper Wisconsin, the state college of
agriculture says. This land is report
ed as having good soil, an abundant
rainfall, is close to railroads and has
access to large. markets.
Nearly one-half of the 1S,5OO,OOO
acres in the northern counties, is al
ready occupied in farms in all stages
of development, leaving $500, 900 acres
of good farm land, as we'll as 100000
acres suitable only for pasture and
forestry purposes
The rapid development of these up
per Wisconsin areas is said to be
shown by the large increase in the
number of farms in Douglas, Price and
Marinette counties during the last 20
years. In Douglas county the num-
Der of farms has arisen from 257 to
1867, in Price county from SS5 to 1925
and in Marinetter county from 1900 to
1851.
These counties have been settled
during the last 80 years and are sim
liar in general character to the land
yet to be developed" the college re-
ports in this same area the num-
Der of present acres of grain and
corn have increased one-third to over
five times the acreage of 1910, and
the number of milk COWS has doubled.
There are many different kinds of
soil in this part Of the state, varying
from heavy clays to light sands. Rain
fall is generally sufficient except in
the very Iightest sandy soil. The rela.
tive freedom of the section from the
hot, dry southwest winds, which oc
cur IN the country farther south, also
means less loss from drought and the
more effective use of the rainfall.
1.-THE temperatures of the section are
not so favorable for corn as for small
er grains. The line having an average
of 100 days without killing front, run
ming through Polk, southern Chippewa
and Lincoln and central Marinette
marks the northern limit of
the section in which early corn will
be uninjured by frost, four out of
five years. North of this line the risk
of injury becomes greater.
''The temperature of northern Wis
consin is characterized by cold win
tiers with clear atmosphere, and sum
mers of moderately cool but quite uni
form temperatures. This climate is
particularly adapted to the growing of
small grains and of grass for pasture
and hay. ''-Milwauke Journal.

Woodruff Won 4 to 2
In Fast Game Sunday
BUCK WEAVER, FORMER WHITE
sox, MADE BIG HlTe THAT
WON THE GAME


Woodruff came over Sunday and
beat the locals 4 to 2 in a game Of
real baseball. The credit has to go to
Woodruff for winning, but Buck Weav,
er, the outlawed White Sox third base
man, won their game for them, polling
out a three Dagger that gave the visit
ors their winning runs. Then too,
Woodruff had a pretty speedy second
baseman and shortstcp, that looked
quite professional to US, 50 it can be
seen that the locals we're up against
a pretty stiff team. But at that
it was a great game, barring Weaver's
attempts to tell the umpire how GER
tain decisions should be made in Ian
guage that was not very pleasing to
the fans who had gone out there to
see a baseball game. Such stuff may
go in some places but we are educat-
ed up to little higher standard of
craftsmanship up here in the north
woods, and it did not take very well.
We're not pulling any alibi for los
ing the game however. 1t was fast
game well played by both teams, and
the Woodruff men on the visiting team
are a bunch that can play ball. We'd
like to meet them again.
There is another good game schedul-
ed for next Sunday when Wabeno
comes over. See it.

Richard Enjoying His
Annual Summer Outing
SAYS MAcQUAKER is AN IDEAL
HOST WHEN 1T COMES TO
WORKING GUEST

George Reichard, of Chicago, who is
spending his annual summer vacation
at the home of his brother-in-law Tom
Macquaker, reports that as a restful
outing, it does not compare with help
ing his wife clean house, and that
the next time he takes a vacation it
will not be at the home of any one,
building new house. For the first
time in the ten years that he has been
Toms guest, they get up regularly at
a. M to walk over and work an hour
or so shoveling and leVeling the big
pile of dirt that came out of the base
ment as Tom says he wants to have
everything pretty well cleaned up
around the yard by the time snow
comes. After he has raised a few new
blisters on his hands, they generally
straighten up the lumber piles and
carry the short pieces of boards scat
tered around by the carpenters, to the
back end Of the lot and pile thegs m
for kindling wood After breakfast
Tom goes to work at the bank and
George is at liberty to go fishing if he
feels able to. Sometimes in the after
noon Tom will go out and join him.
On the way home, regardless of how
many pounds of fish they are toting,
Macquaker will notice some shade tree
that he wants to dig up and take home
to transplant George affirms that he
wants to dig up a tree fifteen or TWEEN
ty feet high and carry it two or three
miles on your back. Then it as likely
as not it happens that after the tree is
set out that Tom decides it lacks the
proper symetrical proportions, so it
has to be dug up again and thrown on
a pile where he says there is wood
enough to keep the furnace going all
winter, and he hopes to get away be
fore Tom takes a notion to cut it up
with a. bucksaw.
He claims that the nearest approach
to an easy day was last week when
Macquaker took him and P. Leviash
out to the Perreault resort for a days
fishing. They had good luck and
caught some nice ohes. Ed. Perreault
told them to stay for supper and he
would fry the fish for them himself.
He said they would have to wait I'M
til the regular guests had been served
and in the meantime he had a patch
of potatoes that needed spraying. He
strapped a couple of five gallon spray
ers on their backs and told them to
go to it. They sprayed up and down
several rows and then Tom had to go
to the house to telephone his wife
that they would not be home for sup
per, and got mixed up with some lady
tourists in a card game, so that George
had to finish the job alone. Ed
thanked him by saying that he was a
mighty good little man. His wife was
more appreciative and said Ed ought
to be ashamed of himself, and that as
far as Tom Macquaker was concerned
she had never been able to get any
work out of him even when he board
ed at the Commercial last winter
where there was always plenty to do.
The next time he wants little rest
George says he will stay in Chicago
and go down to the steel mills or
stockyards and get job for a month
or two and be treated like a human
being

was sent alone through the woods
from Wausau to Flambeau with $14O0-
90 to pay for the Indians furs.
Two years later the father died
leaving 'sAl'' the mainstay of the fam
ilv consisting Of his mother, four sis
tiers and brother SO at the age of
IA, we find him doing a mans work
and drawing a mans pay as teamster
in the woods.
At II, he took his first raft of lum-
Der over Big Bull Falls and on down
to st. Louis and thereby qualified as
the youngest pilot on the river.
In 1870, he began cruising in what
is now Villas county and was one Of
the first three white men to live where
Eagle River is now located. In 1873
he logged the pine off the townsite
of Eagle River, and in an old note
book we find that he started hauling
logs at Otter Rapids with the cattle,
December 2, 1877" Those logs ran
four to six to the thousand and were
delivered at Wausau for $500 per thou
sand
From then on, as trapper, canoes
man, cruiser, surveyor, logger, and
farmer he was prominently identified
with the development of Villas county
He held at various times the offices
of assessor and chairman of the town
of Eagle River, was surveyor and sher-
if Of Villas county and was for four
teen years its county clerk.
Mentally, morally and physically, he
was as upright and sturdy as the pines
he lived and worked among. serupul-
ously honest he fulfilled every obliga-
ton and his word was as good as most
mems bond.
His entire life was one continuous
record of usefulness, helpfulness and
kindness. Free hearted and generous
to a fault the cry of the poor and
needy, of the widow and orphans, OF
the sick and suffering never went IN
needed and his charity was as sub
stantial as it was unheralded. No
man, woman, child, or even dumb
brute ever appealed to Brad in vain.
He was loyal to his friends, just to
his enemies and friend to all, and
though he professed no deep religion
it is by their works ye shall know
them"
He was a man.

BUILDING OPERATIONS

Excavating for the basement of the
Thos. Macquaker residence on Spruce
street began last week and the car
penters will soon start on the frame
work. It will be two stories 24x26 and
the plans indicate that it is very
desirable addition to the number Of
modern homes in Eagle River.
The new residence of G. F. San
born on Main ST., adjoining the ]. HI.
Kuehne residence is rapidly approach
ing proportions which denote that It
will be another Of the, desirable addi-
tions to Eagle River homes when
ready for occupancy.
Brick1aying started on the First Nat
ional Bank building Wednesday
morning. Judging from the quality of
the material on the ground it will be
one of the finest bank buildings that
has ever been seen in this section of
the state.

ROADS SAY THEY NEED
SHIPPERS COOPERATION
Rail Situation Said to Be Not
UnfoUorable.

About twenty-five railroad officials.
members of the Eastern Presidents Con-
ference. We're guests of the National In
dustrial Conference Board at the lat
ter's regular monthly luncheon yes
terday at the Hotel Astor. Various
phases Of the railroad situation were
discussed. While the meeting was closed
to newspaper reporters. ii was learned
last night that the position which the
ran chiefs took was that although the
present situation was not unfavorable
cooperation was necessary on the part
of shippers in order TO relieve the pres
ent difficulties
The prospect for restrictive legislation
at the next session of Congress was
stressed as one OF the unknown quanti-
ties in the present situation. The rail-
road officials took the stand that until
the attitude of some Of the members of
the new Congress is made known the
situation contains many elements of
doubt The majority Of the officials de-
clared that the transportation act
should have an extended trial before
substitutions are attempted
Another matter which Is viewed with
alarm by the operating officials Of the
Eastern roads is the possibility that the
various state commissions throughout
the country may succeed in winning
back 10 themselves some OF the powers
which. under the stress OF war and
after-war conditions, were vested in the
Interstate Commerce m m l s / o H.
Washington advices contained yesterday
the information that a petition already
has been presented to President Har-
ding urging the restoration TO State
Railroad Commissions of their pre-war
powers. This, railroad officials stoutly
maintain. would be disastrous in view
OF the complicated conditions existing
at present.

FARM BLOC LEADER
REVIEWS RATE FIGHT
Senator Capper Announces
Drive VIII BE Made to Re-
peal Esch-C -Cummins Act.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID O.. Nov 90.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. O., Nov. 20. !
Senator Capper (Kan.) chairman Of
the farm bloc. renewed the fight in the
Senate to-day for his bill to repeal the
ratemaking clause and the guaranty sec
tion OF the Esch- Cummins transporta-
tion act.
"The passage of this bill" he said,
"wilI give the State railroad commits
sions more control over intrastate rates;
which they should have. 1t would ter
inmate many Of the excessive freight
charges and so make possible the re-
turn OF good times and a genuine re-
yival of business in the only way In
which they can come to stay"
He candidly admitted that drive is
to be made in the Senate by the farm
bloc to force through the proposed legis-
lation. He. said it is absolutely neces-
sary to save the farmers, especially
those in the Western States, from ruin.
He pointed out that the railroads are
now doing the greatest business i'm their
history, "at an increase of 7Sl5 per cent
per ton each mile for freight and Of
nearly 66 per cent. per mile for pas
sengers."
Despite the handicap OF two great
strikes the roads, he said, have made Il
better financial showing for the first
eight, months Of 1922 than for the same
months in 1921. e
Then he contrasted the prosperity and
business revival of the railroads with
the low prices obtained by the farmers
tor their crops, saying that the higher
than war rail rates are consuming our
farmers
1T is strictly true to say that for the
last two years and four months" he
added. rail rates on farm stuffs
have been more than the traffic could
bear. or should have borne, and this
was never more true than at this mo-
ment. Our farmers are actually pay
ing out money for the privilege OF grow
ing wheat, and that in a time of world
need of wheat. Farmers cannot market
wheat on the margin existing freight
rates require.
Senator Capper next pointed out "ths
ever increasing business being done by
the leading railroads." indicating Il
wave of prosperity is sweeping the
country, according to statistics which
he quoted.
Preceding and during this year or
more of railway prosperity" he added.
the public for nearly two and a half
years. has paid and still is paying,
bonus of $.0OO,oO0OO 900 a year to the
railroads in increased transportation
charges, when for months neither the
farmer nor the general business in
many localities has been making ex-
penses, to say nothing of making
profits.
II contend that the excessive and pro-
Eihitive freight rates will in the end
more certainly prove disastrous to the
railroads than certain immediate and
safe reductions In rates which should
be- made"
