BUCK WEAVER HELPED
With His Assistance Wood
ruff Cleaned Up Eagle
River in Sundays Game.

Tn explaining why Eagle River
lost and Woodruff won in last
Sundays contest, one sorrowing
fan who never wants to see his
team lose, remarked: Mighty eX-
ira intrestn' game yesterday.
From all accounts it certainly
was. Side line fans tell of how
Buck Weaver, best third bascman
In the world before he was out
lawcd, played with Woodruff, and
he was some card for that team.
Want to say that Woodruff has
q mighty fast aggregation and
know how to play ball in big time
Also Eagle Rivers bunch are not
So slow. but the break came and
we lost to a score of 4-2. Snappy
playing on both sides gave the
fans their moneys worth, and with
Weaver as the whole kicking iid-
die in fine fcttle. caused most of
the fans and His Jumps gObs of
trouble. Weaver used his face
rather broadly and sometimes his
language was not that of a per-
feet gentleman especially when
to took exception to some of the
umpircs's decisions. He should re-
member that them days are gone
forever
Next Sundays game with Wa
bcno at Eagle River, will be extra
good, insomuch that there has
been big doubt about a certain
game played in that village last
year. But it will be absolutely
clean here, and promises to be a
splendid game.

Vacation at Three Lakes.

ChaperOned by s. i. Graves, who
owns a summer home on Planting
Ground lake north of Three Lakes,
the Misses Katherine Wheeler of
Wauwatosa, Katie Ferguson of
Lake Geneva, linn Blish Of Fond
du Lac and Elsie Brennan of Ian
caster, all graduate students of
the University, drove up from the
Graves home yesterday IN order
to spend the afternoon ascertain
ing the facts relative to the his
tory of Paul Bunyan, IN order that
they may build a story on this
removed parsonage. Miss Wheeler
is a granddaughter TO Mr.. Graves.
Miss Brennan has been secured to
edit a newspaper in Lake Geneve
in opposition to the campaign of
Senator Robert LaFOllette, who,
it seems, is not very popular IN
that section, and Furthermore has
the support of most all the news
papers. The ladies are spending
their vacation period at that Graves
home. 1t will be remembered 10y
the old-timers of this section that
Mr.. Graves, better known as Vet"
Graves, is one of the Old-time con-
ductors of this section, operating
on the acknowledgements run
when the railroad was under the
control of the Lake Shore and his
run was from Milwaukee to Wa
tersmeet. He took this run when
the road was finally completed to
Watersmeet, and he but retired
a few years ago, having seen over
forty years of service. His re-
/ counting of the early days in rail-
reading when he and the engineer
were the whole train crew is well
worth the hearing.

BOULDER is BOOMING
Minocqua Times Lauds Bust
ness Men of Villas County
Villa G e for Progressive
ness.

In last weeks issue of the Min
ocmqua Times the following rela-
tive to the progressiveness Of
Boulder Junction was given first
page prominence. For some time
we have known that not Boulder
alone but every village IN Villas
is on the grow. and it possibly Is
surprising TO Oneida county resi-
dents to witness such develop
ment. Oneida ought to be just as
progressive in her villages. Come
over and we will show you now.
Says the Times:
The people of Boulder Junction
are showing their progressiveness
and public spirit in the organiza-
ton of a Commercial Club this
summer which has so far proven
more than a success. Every main
event to take place in this town
has been backed by this Organiza-
tion and put over in very good
style. The base ball team mas
been promoted and funds neces-
sary for it have been collected 10y
the Club. One of their NEST sue
cessfUl events to be promoted by
them this year was their Fourth
of July celebration. People from
all parts of the Boulder territory
were called in for a good picnic
and appropriate amusements. More
festival days are planned for this
season and their is little doubt
but that they will prove the usual
success.

Much BuiIding in Yinage.

What was thought to have been
the peak of building activities in
1921, has carried so far ahead in
1922 that the prognostications of
the fellows who claimed to have
the "know-how" and pulse" Of
the situation at their fingers end,
has overreached all bounds. Any
where in the village one may walk,
will see the going up of residences
and other buildings to care for
the demands of the resident. 1t
is now claimed by local lumber
houses that more buildings will
be started this fall than can be
finished before cold weather sets
in. and that 1923 will see a doubl-
ing of the building industry. 1t
has taken Eagle River something
like twenty years to get hep to
the fact that progress cannot be
retarded when the foundation for
little city of possibilities has
once been established. And that
is a fact that cannot be refut-
ed.

AAAh @AAfAAA - A1a@s
A few years later the family
moved TO Big Bull Falls, now the
city of Wausau. Wausau, or. Big
Bull Falls at that time consisted
of a scant half dozen dwellings.
The Bradford residence was locat-
ed on Third street across from
where the First National Bank is
now located. There in those un-
ettiod times, the elder Bradfords
were leaders in shaping and c'e-
waiting the moral tone of the place.
William Bradford senior was
appointed government Indian
agent at Lac ia Flambeau, and
Ia the spring of 1862 Al Bradford.
then eleven years Of age made the
trip alone from Wausau TO Lac
ia Flambeau with $l4OO 10 pay
the Indians for their furs. Two
years later the father died and the
subject of this sketch became the
mainstay of the family consisting
Of the mother, four sisters and a
brother. So. at the age of four
teen years we find him doing n
mans work and drawing a mans
pay rs teamster in the woods.
At seventeen he took his first
raft of lumber over Bull Tails and
down TO St. Louis without losing
a stick, and thereby qualified as
the youngest pilot on the river.
In 1870 he began cruising in what
Is now Villas county, and in 1875
he settled here permanently. lie
was one of the first three men to
live where Eagle River village now
stands. He helped log the pine
off of this townsite and built two
.36-foot "dug-outS" where the
court house now stands. In an
old note book is found this entry:
Starting hauling logs at Otter
Rapids with the cattle Dec. 2,
1877"
From then on, as trapper, cruz
ser, logger, canoeman, surveyor,
pilot and farmer, he was promin-
emily identified with the develop
ment of Villas county. He held
in turn the offices of assessor and
chairman of the town of Eagle
River; county surveyor, sheriff
aad county clerk of Villas county.
The latter office he held for four
teen years.
Physically, mentally and moral
~, he was as upright and sturdy
rs the pines he loved and worked
among. He scrupulously fulfilled
every obligation and his word was
rs good as most mems bond. HIS
entire life was full of usefulness.
Free hearted and generous TO n
fault the cry of the poor and
needy never went UNDECIDED. The
widow and the orphan we're never
known TO seek assistance from AL
Bradfard, for he supplemented
their plea in advance, rendering
them assistance unheralded. No

MIX MAKES DARING LEAP

Tom Mix has new picture with
the alluring title OF tom Mix in
Arabia" which comes to the Peerless
Theatre next Saturday night. 1t is
the greatest stunt" production that
this agile Fox star has appeared In SO
far. Among other reckless feats is
leaping an automobile over fifteen
foot embankment in to the sea, and
scaling the front OF castle at a rate
OF speed that would give the auditor
OF an accident insurance company a
terrible chill.
But his most surprising stunts are
performed in the interior Of the castle
which is supposed TO stand on the
brink of the seq which washes the
shore Of Arabia. The Arabian gentle
man in charge Of the castle has made
up his mind that Tom shall remain
a prisoner. and that hard riding son
of the Golden West sets out to liber-
ate himself and young American
girl who is being detained by this
same follower OF the prophet.
