Cherry had only made some frivolous

the story came back to her. Could
the merely physical be eliminated

How much would he have figured i'll

LOGGING IN SUMMER
Activity in Warm Season
Among Lumbermen Shows
New Industrial Situation.

Plans are under way for con-
siderable summer logging work
in the north woods, early estimates
contemplating an input of more
than 270,000,000 feet by more than
fifty firms. The heaviest input in
recent years was during the win
ter of 1918, when more than $780,
100000 feet were reported.
Some Of the northern operators
are planning to peel hemlock bark
this summer, and the early esti-
mates are that they will get out
about $4,000 cords. In this activ-
ity the availability of labor is an
important factor. The peel of
bark has been gradually decreas-
ing in the northern territory. The
production of hardwood and soft
wood is exceeding shipments, as is
usual the first half of the year
but the cut and shipment since
January l are running above the
10-year average and forty per cent
over last year.
Hemlock and hardwoods, includ-
ing birch, maple, beech, Eastwood
and elm, are beginning to move
from the mills to the trade by
water in heavy volume. Vessels
of the lumber carrying fleet are
loading at different ports, and the
general report is the lumber traf-
fic on the Great Lakes this season
will be the most active in many
years.
Reports indicate that the log in
put in Wisconsin and upper Michi
gan last winter was the heaviest
since the war. 1t is estimated
from figures given by operators
that approximately 750,000,000 feet
of logs were harvested. The input
during the previous winter was
382,000,000 feet.

Where Will They Play?

When the boys are driven off
private land they are told they
must play ball in the street, and
when they are driven off the
street they are told they must
play on private land. Is it any
wonder that our boys get in bad
now and then. Every municipal
ity should provide places of re-
creation. The health of our fu-
ture citizenship could not be bet
ter conserved than by providing
suitable Fairgrounds. The lad that
is going through the grades makes
better progress if that real red
blood is flowing through his veins.

HAVE DYNAMITED LAKE
Evidences Point to Explosives
Having Been Used in the
Deerskin Lake Northwest
of Town.

With the discovery of hundreds
of fish along the shores of Deer
skin lake northeast of Eagle River
recently, there is no reason to
doubt but that that body Of water
has been dynamited for the pur-
pose of securing some of it's game
fish without the trouble of ang-
ling after them. Much easier, you
know, to drop a stick of explosive
in some favorite hole and clean
up mass of game fish for the
table.
Among the fish found along the
shores of this lake last week were
pike, pickerel, bass and the various
kinds of pan fish which usually
inhabit the bodies of waters in
this lake region. An investigation
is now being made.

One of the largest building pro-

lake region is that undertaken by
William Yeshek, Chicago capital
ist, on Big Rolling Stone lake,
near Lac du Flambeau. Mr.. Yesh-

ern summer hotel and fifty guest
cottages. Building operations are
being pushed rapidly with the ex-
pectation of having the resort
ready for patronage some time

The hotel, alone, will represent
an investment of approximately
$4,000. 1t will be modern in every
particular, with electric lights, hot
and cold water and private baths.
The structure will be equipped
and furnished, containg all the APP
pointments of a big city hotel.
1t is understood the cottages are
OF the latest type, with all the
conveniences of home. Many of
these cottages will be sold to per-

Team Needs Better Support.

The brand of ball the Eagle
River team has been giving the
fans lately is of such character
that there is one feature not to
be overlooked. In order to produce
a winning team, good players
must of necessity be hired. That
costs money. The suggestion that
the News would make to the bus
mess man and the fans in general,
is to come across" with better
contribution for the teams sup
port. While the average person
contributed recently, still it is
fact that there must be money
furnished to keep the outside
players and lessen the cost of up
keep of the team from its treas
ury. If Eagle River wishes to be
in the big play it must pay real
money in order to secure men who
can deliver the goods. We have
splendid team, and it is up to
all of us to give it financial sup
port.
