PAPERS CIRCULATION RISING

After having fallen from A.
100000 to about 100000 as the
result of free distribution being
abolished in favor of paid subscrip-
tons in connection with the estab-
lishment of the new economic pol
icy in Russia, the circulation of the
Communist newspapers has recover
ed to 100000, and is rising stead
lily, according to statements made
at a reception given by Moscow
journalists to their colleagues from
all over the world who had been
covering the congress of the Com
munist International. The most
popular of the Communist papers is
Krokodil, the humorous supplement
to Izvestya, which is also sold sep
arate from the official government
organ and enjoys a circulation of
some 100000. Izvestya itself has
100000 subscribers, while Pravda,
the Communist party central organ,
has s0,000s

RARE BIBLE

The only known copy of the first
Protestant Bible printed in Latin
has recently come into the posses
sion of the Public library at Cam
bridge, Mass, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. 1t is valued at
100000 by the library authorities,
which seems reasonable in view of
some book transactions. The print
ing of this edition was done in
1927, at Cologne, by Peter Quentel,
who shortly before had printed an
edition of the New Testament for
Tyndale. The text is in black let
ter, with numerous woodcuts by
Anthony of Worms, some of which
had been used in the Granville edi-
ton of Tyndale's English New
Testament, published in 1926.

WONDERFUL POWER OF LYRE
According to Legend, instrument In the
Hands of orpheus Would Move
the Mountains.

The most renowned performer on
the harp or Tyre in the classic myths
is Orpheus. He is called the father
of song, and the particular helper of
the Argonauts, who sought the
Golden Fleece. According to fable,
the power of the Tyre of Orpheus
caused rivers to cease to flow, wild
beasts to lose their savageness, trees
and rocks on olympus to move from
their places to listen, ships of the
Argonauts to glide smoothly into
the sea, mountains to become en-
tranced, the dragon that guarded
the Golden Fleece to sink into sleep,
sufferers in the underworld to lose
their pains, and all the potencies of
hell to yield homage.
Apollo's art is everywhere asso-
ciated with religion, prayer, prophe-
cy, and all sacred services, teachings
and anticipations, especially with
the joyous element in holy things.
At the instance of Apollo and the

the Harp of Orpheus among the
stars.

CAROLINE

IT'S a curious fact that some heroes
= lose, rather than gain, popularity,
when their deeds are recorded in ro-
nance. Such was the case of the
famous Karl of the Franks, who is
| responsible for the origin of the femi-
nine name Caroline. The great en-
peror has suffered at the hands of
romantic chroniclers, but history pre-
served the memory of ''CarlO Magno,"
and from his name came long series
of masculine and feminine names.
The first feminine translation known
is Carlota. This name was synonymous
with Charlotte in those early times,
and, indeed, Charlotte and the Caro-
line of today are almost interchange
able, If their origin is to be observed,
no matter how separate and distinct
they seem to be. Charlotte, or Car
lota, of Savoy married Louis NJ and
introduced the name to French roy
atty. Charlotte 'Albret had the mis-
fortune to be given in marriage to
Cesare Borgia and had one daughter,
who married into the house of La
Tremouille, whence the brave Lady
Derby carried 1t into England.
The Huguen0tism of that house
connected 1t with the house of Bouil-
Ion, whose helress, Garcia, or Char
lotte, was married in 1888. There
the house of Orange derived it and
It became known in Germany and was
brought to England in its full popu-
larity by the good queen of George
III. 1t gained sentimental vogue and |
an international fame through Goethe, |
who chose the name for his heroine |
Of "Werther."
The first Carolina was evolved In |
Italy, but was quickly adopted by
southern Germany and in turn
brought to England by the wife of
George II, who made it extremely
popular among the nobility. America
received it first through the Carolinas
North and South), and its fame and
as feminine proper name
Ipread rapidly.
Caroline has numberless derivatives

charlotte, Lofty, Chatty, Caroline and

Lac VieuX Desert Summer Re-
sort Cts name now being Camp
Vudesare) is the pioneer resort of
North Wisconsin. Leonard Thomas
father Of L. L. Thomas, with his
family settled at the old trading
post on Lac Vieux Desert in Octo-
Der, 1876. L. L. Thomas was born
at this place. The first tourists
known by L. L. Thomas to have
come to this region was in the
late 7Os. They were guests at the
Thomas home where it is said
they broke any known record for
muskelIunge. In those days pike
and bass were not a real game fish
and very few were caught. No
thing but muskellunge would sat
lsfy the appetite of the trappers
or traders or for that matter any
sportsman who fshed in the Wis
consln waters. The catches report
ed are enormous. But, let the
writer add that Of all the fish
caught, none were wasted. If the
creel was filled, then the surplus
fish hooked and played, were re-
leased to again fight the lure.
This was before the day of the
fish hog, who has been the prime
cause of game fish depletion from
these northern waters.
Stories are told and verified by
the old-time fishermen, real sports
men, that when the advent of the

of white pine there was luIl
in the lumber activities in
this immediate territory, dur
ing which time new settlers
came here and settled on our
cut over lands and made them
into prosperous farms; and
during this same period peo-
pie from distant points began
to realize and appreciate that
our lakes and rivers offered
uneXcelled locations for sum-
mer resorts and opportunities
for recreation during the
pleasant summer months.
During all this time the

large, especially after the railroad
came into this section, that one
could canoe up the chain of lakes
from Eagle River, stop at the
camping spots and portages, and
see muskellunge by the score
where fishermen from down state
and from other states had caught
all they wanted, taken the fish
ashore, viewed their beauty, drank
a few drinks Of Volstead stuff,
and left them to rot.

About 35 years ago when
most of Villas County was COW
cred by virgin forests of white
pine, hemlOck and hardWOods,
the Bank of Eagle River was
started as a private bank by
the late Arthur Mckenzie and
Fred Morey, and it was reor-
gained as a State Bank in
1903.
At that time this was the
only bank in Villas County and
it took care of the banking
requirements of the pioneers
Of this vicinity without any
competition until 1916.
During the last Is years
there has been great changes
in business activities around
about Eagle River. In the old
days three or four saW-mills
were active in the saving of
the white pine timber that
covered the land tributary to
our lakes and rivers and also

from Green Bay to Ontonagon.
We now skirt the edge of Anvil

Twin at Phelps village, and fin
ally Lac VieuX Desert or Vudesare
lake on the way to Ontonagon.
This route, when completed took
the place of the Wausau-Ontona-

supplies. 1t was completed in
1869. Previous to this much of
the supplies had been brought by
canoe along water routes and by
teams in winter.

ter. The general wall is of
brick; the pressed face type,
and is of grey color. The
rounded walls are surmounted
by rounded cornice supported
by four eagles cut out of
stone and the whole cornice
with overlapping edge of grey
cut stone. The ornamental
eagles typify the name of the
village, river and nearby lake
all bearing the name of

right and left of the entrance
are tall windows, of plate

for the roof boards, and hewing
the big pine logs used for the
cribs. This building, since made
into several may be seen today as
part of the popular Thomas resort
and that fact acquaints us with
another family of pioneers and
their history.
The grandfather of Louis Thorn
as, the genial old-time owner of
the Thomas resort now named
Camp Vudesare and owned by F.
I. Porter, was the first to carry
mail on the old Indian trail call
ed the mail route from Wausau to
OntonagOn.
When the route was established
on the military road the govern
ment let out contracts for mail
carrying, and so the job passed
from one hand to another.
Thomas grandfather built a log
house at the site of the present
dam. This site is made more than
historical; it is sacred as the
scene of the missionary efforts of
famous old Father Marquette. If
we roam among the buildings we
will recognize the old log cabins
as the present garages and stor-
age rooms. One of these historic
cabins remains as a guest cabin
and is named 'Wianno". 1t was
one of the first of the trading
post buildings.
