FrOze in Michigan.

Leo Bishop of Three Lakes
springs a new one on Northern
Michigan, and at that he has sew
eral who will vouch for the facts
as he tells 'em. Last week, accom-
panied by Mrs. Bishop and sis
ter, Mr.. B. made a camping and
outing trip through all of the up
per peninsula of Michigan-that
part north of Highway IL between
lronwood and Iron River west and
east to Ontonagon on Lake Super
Tor. Bishop vouches for the fact
that one morning last week the
water in the radiator of his car
was frozen, but luckily not solid
enough to burst it. And that is
what we call summer weather
with vengeance"

Big DELINQUENT List.

An official audit of the records
in the county offices at Washburn
has been completed, and discloses
that there is about $4,000 due the
county for back taxes on property
which has been sold at the spring

may now be taken by the county.
At the spring meeting of the

such deeds as condition of title
and occupancy warrant, and $1,000
was appropriated by the board to
cover initial Incidental expenses.
Some of the most valuable proper
ty in the county is included In the
delinquent list contemplated to be

MADE A RECORD DRIVE
Escaped All Speed Cops and
Won Race From Chicago
to Eagle River.

With 355 miles between Chicago
and Eagle River, located in the
country Of Northern Wisconsin,
where nature smiles for miles
and mile" somtimes, Mr.. and
Mrs. P. j. Schaefer of that city
broke all records in hourage last
Thursday between the two cities.
Leaving Chicago at 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning they arrived
at Eagle River at 1:20 that after
noon actual running time being
u hours and so minutes. They
stopped one hour and twenty min
utes for lunch on their way. This
gives them the record for the trip
over any other made so far.
This was a sort of race be-
tween the Schaefer car and that
of Mrs. John Ginnocchio from the
same city. 1t was friendly rivalry
at that. Mrs. Ginnocchio left
Chicago Tuesday morning at eight
o'clock, but was not racing;
rather expected to make it here
ahead of the Schaefer car, or be
passed somewhere close to the vii
lage. Wednesday just before din
ner the Schaefer party said "how-
de-do' and "goodby" to the Gin
nocchio party at Amigo, the place
where they passed.
The Schaefers and Ginnocchios
are here for the summer at their
lake homes on Catfish and Yellow
Birch.

G. A. r. Ranks DwindIe.

The staunch blue line Of Civil
war veterans, survivors of the his
toric conflict of more than sixty
years ago, is rapidly being decim-
ated from year to year. In 1922
the number of G. A. r. veterans
dwindled by 1852, a decrease
from an enrolment of 85,618 in
1921 to an enrolment of LOG at
the beginning of 1923. During
that time the number of active
posts in the country decreased
from 4,218 to 1869, indicating the
abandonment of $50 posts. One
by one the whitehaired veterans
of Shiloh, Lookout Mountain, Get
tysburg and Chicamaugua are an
swering the call of taps which
sounded for so many of their com
rades on the field of battle from
81 to 65. Preparations are already
under way for the national en-
campment of the G. A. r. which
is to be held in Milwaukee this
fall. Attendance estimates have
been set at 10000 as possible maxi
mum figures.

BURNS CAUSED DEATH
Four Year Old Boy of Harry
Maynard Died in Rhine
lander Hospital Thursday
Morning.

The four-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Maynard, farmers
occupying a farm residence near
the Saltenberger farm, died from
burns at the Rhinelander hospital
early Thursday morning after suf-
fering for several hours.
The baby boy secured some
straw and a match and started a
blaze while out in the yard We'd
nesday afternoon last. Flames en-
veloped the little body, catching
in his dress, and over third of
the child's body was badly burn
ed. In attempting to put out the
fire the mother had both hands
burned until the outer skin COW
ering came off.
Howard Olmstead, passing the
home at the time, brought both
the mother and baby to Eagle
River From there they were inn
mediately taken to a hospital in
Rhinelander. Death relieved the
child's sufferings early the next
morning. The body from the feet
to the shoulders we're burned to
such an extent that no hopes were
given out after being brought
here a few minutes after the ac-
cident.
Funeral was held Saturday. Mrs.
Maynard, barring her burn d
hands is otherwise uninjured.

SNOW WRECKED BOATS
Last Winters Fall of Snow
Caved in Garage and Ruin
ed Eight Rowboats for
Cummings.

S. E. Cummings of Big St. Ger
main Lodge stopped over in Eagle
River Friday while on his way to
his resort from Chicago where he
and his sister had spent the win
ter since closing their lodge on
ST. German.
He reports that he sustained
the loss of garage and eight
rowboats this winter at his lodge,
due to the caving in of the roof
of the garage by heavy SHOWS. In
side the garage were his boats
and they were all crushed by the
garage roof when it collapsed.
From his report, indications
point to an extra large season
among the resorts and villages
this summer due to the people
having found there is but one bull
ly good place to- spend a summers
outing and that being among the
myriad of lakes in Northern Wis
consin.

HATCHERY WILL CLOSE
Local Sub-hatchery VIII Fin
ish Friday of This Week
With Splendid Pike Hatch.

Friday at the hatchery in Eagle
River is Eagle River Day."
What is meant by this is that
those who have applied for pike
fry will be able to get their quota
Friday forenoon. Not later, for
the hatchery will close it's doors
that afternoon.
And you must have had an APP
plication in to the commission in
order to secure your fry.
The hatch this spring has been
very good. The Eagle waters are
prolific in Matching qualities and
have not their equal in the state.
Why, we do not know, except that
this water is peculiarly adapted
to pike Matching, and produce
higher returns than any other.
The securing of muskellunge
spawn for Matching this spring
proved to be too late on account
Of the ice staying in the nlusky
lakes until after the fish had
spawned. This is claimed by the
hatchery men who investigated
conditions last fall and this spring.
There are hopes of a big supply
being taken next spring and as
sist in the increasing of muskel-
lunge in the many lakes in this
region.

CAT MOTHERS BABY FOX
Down State People Think 1t
Strange for Mother Cat to
Adopt Silver Fox Puppies.

A cat mothering silver black fox
puppies, whose parent had disown-
ed them, has stirred up the south
ern part of the state, according to
an article from the Milwaukee
Journal coming from Stevens
Point last week. The article says:
Visitors at the Boston Fox ranch
on highway Is, east of Stevens
Point, if they happen to stop at
lunch time" are shown an I'M
usual sight.
Two tiny foxes, born two weeks
ago, are being 'motheped" by a
cat as though the tiny punches
of black fur that will grow up to
become valuable animals were her
own. The two foxes and one kit
ten are cared for by the cat as
one family. The foxes receive the
same treatment as the kitten, are
washed with the same feline
tongue and go to lunch" at the
same time.
Two weeks ago, Willis ]. Boston,
proprietor of the ranch, found
that the two little foxes, then a
day and a half old, were not re-
ceiving the care they should from
the mother fox Knowing they
would die if not better cared for,
the fox puppies were given to the
cat.
This motherly animal took to
the new members of her family
kindly at the start, and the little
orphans" are developing as rap
idly and as healthily as any other
fox puppies at the ranch. The
two foxes are valued at $500 each.
It is not an unusual thing up
in this section for a cat to act as
mother to baby silver blacks. F.
c. Cheatham, Guy Henry, c. 7.
Dryz and ]. T. Magee, all owners
of the silver black fox ranches in
Villas county, tell the writer that
there is hardly a spring during
puppy time" but that they are
compelled to change mothers; that
is, take the puppies from the fox
mother and give them over to the
care of motherly old cat. The
writer has seen on several occas-
ions Mother Cat and her family
of silver black puppies. It is a
mighty pretty and unique scene,
and can be witnessed any spring
up in this section at the different
fox ranches.
