.BURGLARIZE EPOT
Must Imagine That Railroads
Have More Loose Money
Than Any Other Business

Two depots burglarized within
three or four days would cause one
to imagine that the railroads are
the only ones who are making or
really have any loose money handy
by. Either that or the depots are
so much more easily broken into
than any other place of business,
that the burglars choose those
places as offering least resistance
in entering. Nigh be, for it one
was 90 see either of the depots
at Phelps or Eagle River, he would
not doubt but that the North
western was counting such depre-
dations. Phelps has a depot so
much better than Eagle River that
we should apologize to that vii
lage and the Northwestern. Moth
ing could be worse than our de-
pot.
Thursday night the Phelps de
pot was broken into and change
TO the amount of $40 taken. The
burglar was scared away while at
tempting TO enter the rear Of the
post office i'm that village by
Thos. McGregor, who sleeps in the
rear of his store adjoining.
Saturday night thieves broke
into the Eagle River depot, effect
ing an entrance from a window
on the west side of the building.
The money till was pried open, as
It contained less than a half dol
lars worth of pennies, nothing
Of value was secured.

OCCUPY NEW QUARTERS
Farmers and Merchants State
Bank Lease Lower Floor
in New Sanborn Building.

1t is reported on good authority
that the Farmers and Merchants
State Bank have LEAKED the entire
first floor and basement of the
new Sanborn building located on
Wall street occupancy to begin
August first.
The bank has a five-year lease
with privilege of extension or pur-
chase of the property at the end
of the five year period. A mod
ern fire and burglar proof vault
extending from the basement To
the second floor will be placed
in the building for the aecommo-
dation Of the bank business The
floor SPACE given the bank is
22xSO
Advice is also given out that
the First National Bank has an
option upon the burnt corner and
the intention is to erect a modern
bank building this summer if the
option is taken Up this month.
II is to be hoped that this year
we may see a modern building
on this corner, for in its present
condition it is a black eye upon
the progress of the village. With
a new building on the corner there
are added hopes that the North
western will then give EAGLE Riv-
er a modern depot on its grounds
on Railroad street.

USES A NOVEL METHOD
Wisconsin's Method of Add
ing Settlers to the State is
Absolutely Original.

WisconSin's method of adding
to the population and wealth OF
the state is distinguished by alb
solute originality, and what is bet
ter, by unparalleled success, ac-
cording 10 the June issue of Pop
ular Mechanics magazine. Like
all states, not TO mention Canada,
where immigration is desired,
Wisconsin uses printed pamphlets
describing the attractive features
of the state, but it uses these
only as a secondary feature the
primary feature of its method of
attracting new residents, and of
retaining them after settlement,
being an entirely personal appeal,
an appeal from man to man, from
the director of immigration di-
rectly to the prospective settler,
and a supervision of his interests
after his arrival in the state.
This method can be best illus
trated by describing a typical ex-
ample. In reply to a bureau of
immigration classified advertise
ment, there came an inquiry from
a man in Iowa. In reply TO this
went a long personal letter from
the director of the bureau, in
terpreting an accompanying pam
phlet on Farm Making in Upper
Wisconsin" and pointing out the
use Of an inclosed certificate Of
inquiry" to be presented to any
person or firm from whom the
prospective settler might purchase
land. This certificate is a protec-
ton TO the land purchaser, and
it warns the land salesman that
the Wisconsin Bureau Of lmmigra-
ton intends to keep in touch with
the purchaser during the whole
transaction. Thus is the immi-
grant in a large measure protect
ed from falling into the hands
of INSCRIPTIONS land agents, and
should he nevertheless do so, he
could appeal to the bureau to
have his wrongs righted.
The result of this kind of work
has been that, since the war, s.
$50 families have located in north
ern Wisconsin to develop farm
homes. Two large charts have
been made, one covered with dots
representing new families locat-
ed on the land during the last
three years, and the other show
ing. with similar dots, each new
family that has been directly as
sisted by the immigration bur
eau. The second chart has nearly
as many dots as the first. Amigo
