Parts of County Will Stimulate Land Clearing Campaign

machines on the different farms.
The demonstration plots have been
arranged with a view to permit every
farmer in the county to attend one or
more of the meetings and they should
not fail to do so as there will be much
to see and learn in connection with
what almost every. land owner is
much concerned with, the clearing up
of his farm to the point where he will
not have to depend upon other sec
tons of the country to ship in hay
and grain for his livestock every win
ter. At the meetings stump removal
and land clearing and breaking will
be done in practical way for the man
who wants to clear land on a large
scale or by the slower but less ex-
pensive methods
The demonstrations will be under
the direction of the Land Clearing de-

Wisconsin's Hospitality

'Inquiring Reporter" on the
Chicago Tribune Finds
Wisconsin Is Best

The "Inquiring Reporter" in The
Chicago Tribune, gets five replies to
his question: what state do you
like best for touring?" One says
Maryland, one says New York, three
say Wisconsin, as follows:

There are plenty of resorts to stop at
where you can get a good meal or
fish and camp out. Any time you ask
a question along the road you will
get civil answer, and that's better
than they do at a lot of places through
Illinois. They also look after the
roads up there, and when they are
going to do a thing they do it; they
don't talk about it, as they do in Hi

Returns On Application
For Meter Light, Power
Railroad Commission Says The
Village Meter Rates Are
Very Moderate

In the Matter of the Application of
the Eagle River Light and Water Com
mission for Authority to Increase its
Rates.
This application was filed with the
Commission April 26, 1922. Technical
ly it amounts to an application to in
crease rates although actually what is
proposed at the present time is to
introduce schedule of rates for
metered service in the electric depart
ment where no such schedule is now
applicable. In changing from fiat rate
to metered service it is almost certain
that some customers will have their
bills increased. This formal proceed
| ing therefore results.
Hearing was set for June Z, 1922 at
Madison but no appearances were en-
tered
The proposed schedule for metered
service is as follows;
Lighting Service
First 20 XIV. hrs. per month 1Oc
gross &c net per XIV. hr.
Next 20 XIV. hrs. per month &c gross
sc net per XIV hr.
All over 40 XIV. hrs. per month &c
gross 7c net per XIV mr.
Minimum monthly charge, $1.25
gross $115 net.
Power Service
First 100 XIV hrs per month &c
gross SC net per XIV. hr
Next 200 XIV. hrs. per month &c
gross sc net per XIV hr
All over 800 XIV. hrs per month SC

Minimum monthly charge, Use per

Cooking and Heating Service
&c gross &c net per XIV hr
Minimum monthly charge, $175

vance what revenue will be produced
by the proposed schedule but the rates
embodied in that schedule do not ap-

quite moderate The installation of
meters is to be commended and a
proper meter schedule should be
authorized. The only change which
we would suggest in the schedule pro-
posed by the Light and Water Com
mission is that the minimum charge
for power should be quoted in the
form of a gross rate and net rate as
follows:
85c gross 75c net per horsepower
of connected load.
It is therefore ordered that with
the modification of the minimum
charge for power service suggested
above the schedule of meter rates
for electric service proposed by the
Eagle River Light and Water Com
mission in its application in this case
be and the same hereby approved.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this
10th day of July, 1922
In connection with the above, the
Light and Water Commission wish to
state that all bills must be paid by
the 18th of each month in order to be
entitled to discount

Recalls Pioneer Days of
Eagle River

Jerry Crowley timberjack in north
ern Wisconsin since 1881, was here
visiting his friends, L. E. McGill and
DIR. w. F. O'Connor, Wednesday, Jer-

hearted timber jacks 80 years ago
when L. E. McGill was boy just start
ing work in the woods at Eagle River,
where DR.. O'Connor lived at that time.
George O'Connor, county attorney,
at Eagle River, brother of the doctor,
was another timberjack of that time,
and other prominent men who were

James Walsh, county Judge of Forest
county; DR.. Diamond, of Frederic; A.

city, he went to the graveyard where
he found three of them buried. AT
Hawkins last week, he ate meal in
log building and remarked that he

Jerry was a lightning top-loader
the best there was in his days. While
generally peaceable, he was bad man

meant real fighting and no bluffs went
One time as Jerry was leaving Eagle
River, he threw couple OF dollars
on the bar and ordered the barkeepe1

When asked where he made his home

Upper Counties Growing
Fast, Says Last Census
Figures Show Great Growth In
Northern Wisconsin In
Last Few Years

The population bulletin of the four
teenth census relating to Wisconsin
which was recently issued from
Washington, has some surprises for
those who are unfamiliar with the
recent progress of northern Wiscon-
sin, under which name we describe the
tWenty-nine newest counties lying
mainly north of a line drawn from
Green Bay to Hudson. 1t is shown
that those twenty-nine counties con-
tain an aggregate population OF 1922
ga. The total for the state being
2,632,007, it will be seen that this
section, generally considered very new
has better than one-fourth Of the total
for the state, despite the fact that the
greater cities are all in the south
More interesting still is the summary
of the rural population in the north
as compared with the south.ln the
older Wisconsin forty-two counties
the aggregate of the rural population
is 15,042; in northern Wisconsin the
rural population amounts to 479,O54,
or considerably better than one-third
of the rural population of the state.
Most surprising of all is the fact that
the county of Wisconsin having the
largest rural population is now found
in the north, for the county OF Mara
thon has 6,598 people who are classed
as rural, whereas the next highest,
Dane County, has 1888. Other COM
parsons might be made to show the
progress of the new section as fol
lows: Northern Wisconsin has a
larger population than the states of
North Dakota, South Dakota, and all
of the Mountain States except Color
ado; three of the New England States
also are smaller in population than
northern Wisconsin; while Oregon on
the Pacific coast has only $4,000
more people despite it's one large city.
In 1922-5O00 acres cleared for Villas.

VOTE WHERE TEACHING

The office Of the Attorney General
has sent an opinion to District Attor-
ney Irving Breakstone to the effect
that teachers have right to vote
in the city in which they are teaching.
The position taken by the Attorney
Generals office is that so long as a
teacher has contracted to teach, for
a year or more, and is earning his or
her own livelihood by following this
profession and so long as she or he
intends to remain in the precinct until
possible to find a better position by
going elsewhere, a permanent resi-
dence is established and the right to
vote is ranted.-Oconto Reporter.

Lost lake and at various other places.

the indebtedness will be cleared up.

Park Falls Went Home
With Big End of Score
Sloppy Field and Slow Playing
Made Sundays Game
Disastrous

Horriblel Horrible! Park Falls, how
could you? You trimmed us II to 3
Sunday and we can't pull the alibi of
muddy grounds because it was just as
bad for you as for us. But you turned
the trick somehow and some day we're
coming over and do the same to you.
1t was slow game, played on field
that was slower yet, due to heavy
shower less than an hour before the
slaughter started The Falls bunch
got away to a big lead with six runs
in the first inning. Eagle held for
awhile and then turned in three, which
was their sum total all afternoon.
But the Falls boys kept right on, ap-
parently, and made it twelve to three
before packing their bat bag for home.
The locals played ragged game in
every corner and the breaks all went
to-. their opponents.
Park Falls has strong team, but
so has Eagle 1t will take one or
more meetings before we can begin
to compare the gangs. Sundays mix
up didn't prove anything, except that
Eagle was in poor shape.
They had a great game out at Camp
Winnepe Sunday, the Camp boys trim
ming Watersmeet 4 to 2. Next Sun
day Winnepe plays here and that's
game that will be worth seeing.
Winnepe has an extra strong lineup
this season and we haven't lost faith
in what the locals can do when they
really get down to business.
Here's something that will tickle
the fans Amigo bumped Rhinelande1
to 0 right in the latters own back
yard last Sunday afternoon. That's
three straight for Amigo from the
paper mill boys this season; about
what Rhinelander did to us, but we
