Portable Log Cabins.

John Adams of Rhinelander,
builder of portable log cabins,
spent Monday in Eagle River. His
product is being taken up readily
by summer home people who par
ticularly admire the ownership of
log cabin in this lake region
Being portable it can be easily
taken down and erected at the
will of the owner when one spot
on a leased tract of lake frontage
loses it's attraction after a long
residence. Many of the buildings
are now in use in this section. 1t
is the determination of Mr.. Adams
to enlarge his capacity for next
years orders.

Score Was Enormous.

In the practice game of basket
ball among the local high students
Friday evening, the first team won
over the second team with a score
of 60 t 2. This game was for ire
purpose of trying out new mater
ial as substitutes, and giving the
first team a chance to get in shape
for the regular scheduled games
beginning next month. From the
showing of the boys there is no
question of our team carrying off
honors this winter, even if they
have several stiff games scheduled.

Snow in IrOnWood.

According to D. E. Lamon of
Three Lakes, Ironwood had quite
a storm last Friday and Saturday
When the Lannon's and Andersons
were returning Sunday from trip
up in Minnesota, they ploughed
through six inches of snow at
1ronwood, Michigan, and found
hard going for some distance, un-
til they drove out of the snow
belt. Mr.. and Mrs. D. E. Lamon
and Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Anderson
of Three Lakes spent several days
last week on a sightseeing trip
up around Duluth and incidental
ly discovered that, Michigan and
a certain part of Minnesota also
has bully good highways. Still,
their opinion of Wisconsin is none
the worse for, the trip taken
among the scenic portions of the
two states.

The First Snow Storm.

Fridays cold snap brought with
it a blanket of snow which, while
barely covering the ground, gave
the idea that winter is in the
offing, so to speak. It has been
the first real chilly weather for
long time, and winter garments
were in demand all day Saturday.
The snow didn't last very long
but increased activity in replenish-
ing wood piles and coal bins. Duck
hunters have been the busiest fell
lows imaginable, but so far very
few ducks have been garnered IN.
The fall flight is due most any day
and then the duck enthusiast will
have his fill of wing shooting,
enough to last him until deer sea-
sons opened November 18th.

TILDEN PAYS 1T.

While the partridge was
not killed there is a question
in Fred Tilden's mind just
how it managed to break two
window panes and still live.
Fred Tilden of Meta lake
tells how a partridge struck
a window in one of his main
buildings this week, break
ing two 26x26 panes of glass
and injured the bird very
little. The lower sash of the
window had been raised, and
when the bird struck, went
clear through both panes and
was found sitting on a dres-
ser nearby, somewhat groggy
but able to fly away later.
The birds escape cost Til
den the price of a new win
dow, and, being a closed sea-
SON on cartridges, he was un-
able toA collect bounty from
the states pet.
