CISCO NETS ARE BARRED
Eighth DOT Dip Nets Only AL
lowed in Taking of Fish of
Above Variety.

Heretofore during the twenty
day period of netting ciscos in the
waters of Villas and Oneida coun-
ties, the fisherman was allowed
the use of gill nets of certain
mesh in order to secure cisco.
However, the last legislature slip
ped one over, and has barred all
gill nets and other contraptions
with the exception of a dip net
not over eight feet in diameter.
And the mesh in this net must be
an inch and quarter.
According to conservation war
dens it is thought that the law
is only in force ON nets for a per-
iod of ten days from about No
vember 9Th to the 18th. Therefore,
the fellows who have purchased
gill nets are out Of luck, and with
the shortened season and nothing
but dip net, there is very little
use in gaming for this variety of
pan fish.
Ciscos in this lake region have
never been known to take a lure
the only method being by spear
ing or netting. Even if fellow
goes out after the fish with a
spear and light, he is liable to be
pinched, for some of the game
wardens read the law on artificial
lights at nighttime in different
angles. Some say you can while
others say you cant" Now what
is a poor devil to do?

PLUMBING is DELAYED
c. & N. w. Depot in Eagle
River Finished With Ex-
ception of Furnace and
Water Connections.

Eagle Rivers new depot, just
finished by the c. & N. w. rail-
way, is a mighty fine structure,
and the removal of the office
force to their new quarters from
their box car quarters depends up
on the arrival and installation of
furnace, water and sewer piping.
The building is very roomy and
is a splendid asset to the railroad
property and the immediate from
tage it occupies. 1t is builded of
brick and stucco, neatly painted
and is almost as unique in archi-
tectural design as the one at Ell
cho which was built by Chas. w.
Fish several months ago.

Will Lay Brick Pavement.

A brick pavement a block in
length will be laid from Wall
street to Division street along the
track of the Northwestern front
ing the depot. While this will
be adequate for ordinary train
traffic, allowing passengers to
alight near the depot, still when
the Wisconsin Lakes Special is on
its regular summer schedule, the
paved walk will be a block too
short. However, it is said that a
cinder walk will be laid on the
east side of the track for block
south to care for the incoming
passenger traffic. If that is nee
essary, then same length walk
will be necessary on the north end
of the depot for traffic south at
night.

E No. g.

For the benefit of it's readers the
Journal takes pleasure in furnishing
the details of a bogus five hundred
dollar check, drawn by an alleged
New York crook to the order of I'm
dertaker B. c. Ingersoll, of Wildwood.
This fraudulent piece of paper was
dated at New York, March 10th, and
rendered to Mr.. Ingersoll on the af-
ternoon of the day following, Satur-
day, March 18th. The check was
drawn on the Firty-second Street Of
flee of the Central Union Trust Com
pany, of New York, Forty-second
street and Madison avenue. 1t bore
the magical number 81 and was drawn
by one alleged Harry Devine, of New
York, and made payable to plain Mr..
Ingersoll. This check was given to
Mr.. Ingersoll to apply on account of
an $500 or 5000 funeral that never
took place. At Mr.. Ingersoll's sug-
gestion the alleged swindler inserted
the initials of the payee, "B. c." These
initials were inserted before the word
Mr." making the check read: Pay to
the order of B. C. Mr.. Ingersoll. This
little scrap of paper is a great curios-
ity and is highly priced by Mr.. Inger-
soil as a trophy or souvenir Of one
of the most peculiar experiences of
his long and busy life. He feels most
thankful that he was only shook
down for the paltry sum of $50 be-
sides his expenses to the great Ameri-
a city and return. Mr.. Ingersoll has
a philosophic mind and considers that
this valuable experience he gained
was worth all it cost and more. He
says if the fellow had asked him for
500 he could have had it as easily
as he got the sum of $50. Check No.
67 may be seen in the Journal win
dow for the delectation of those who
realize that truth is stranger than
fiction and who are ever ready to
throw out a danger signal to flag their
fellowmen.

LIEUTENANT NILSSON WAS NOT
ONE OF THE PROMOTERS OF
THE COLONIAL POWER co.

1t was reported in the Cape May
Court House Gazette last week that
Fl. G.. Nilsson, formerly of this city,
and now alleged to be in Haverford,
Pa, was m of the promoters of the
acknowledgements Speed Line. 1t
is only fair to the men sponsoring
the Speed Line to state that he was
not one of the promoters. He does not
own one share Of stock and has not
invested one cent in the Colonial
Power Company and did not at any
time handle any of the company's
funds.
He had been employed as a solicitor
on a commission basis, but at the end
of a certain time his service was dis
pensed with after which he entered
business for himself. Furthermore,
neither Mr.. Nilsson nor the Colonial
Power Company are indebted to each
other in any I'M whatsoever.
In the statement, which alleged that
he rounded up a lot of money, this
company as a company has not suf-
fered any financial loss. This state
ment is being made by the officials of
the Colonial Power Company to cor
rect any n impressions which
might have been created by the article
published in the Gazette.

The following recommendations
have been made to the Board of Cow
ernors of the wildwood Board of
Trade, for the accomplishment of which
the Board of Trade is diligently work
ing. They are known as the Thirteen
Points:
Point No. 1-"Have City Plan made
by an expert architect as guide for
improvements and future growth The
secretary has written Myron Howard
West of the American Park Builders,
Chicago, who made the plan for the
City of Decatur, Ill. In this he has
asked information for a city plan and
as this is the first point in the Board
of Trade program, l think it is well
that we nave data so as to begin in a
concrete way action to lay out a plan
of improvement for the City of Wild
wood.
Point No. 2-"Establish permanent
beach line and beach east of the
walk as a playground under munich
pal ownership or control" This par
ticular point is now under a rather
peculiar action. A committee formed
from the Board of Trade and other
organizations submitted a plan to
the City Commissioners in which it
suggested a plan for the permanent
line of the City of Wildwood. While
this has been accepted by the City
Commissioners it has never been acted
upon because there is some doubt in
the minds of the Commissioners
whether that is the proper place for
the beach front line. To be frank with
you, it might be better if the line were
where the second ward boardwalk
third ward boardwalks joined to it
rather than have the first ward board
walk go away out on a line to connect
with the North Wildwood boardwalk.
If we are working for permanent
buildings in the first ward we will not
get them if we move the line 200 feet
from where the boardwalk is erected,
because the investor will want to wait
until the boardwalk is moved to it's
new location.
Point No. 3-"Work for the erection
of a first-class beach front hotel" The
only man at the present time that |
know of who has made any plans and
has hopes of fulfilling them is William
Lipkin. The secretary has written Mr..
Lipkin asking him to write him a let
ter telling him what success he is
having toward the accomplishment OF
