Street Commissioner Thompson last
Saturday completed the task of truck
ing the winters snowbanks from the
on Eighth street. In some instances
these drifts were four feet deep, and
it was considered best to haul this
packed snow away, rather than to al
low it to melt slowly to the damage
Of the street. A few days before this
work was done Thompson was using
the city truck to drag the road grader
over those portions of the streets that
were sufficiently dried out to make
this task practical.

A combat;ve calf that was being
driven through the streets last Sunday
was the center of attraction for an
hour or two while two youthful cow
boys sought to have it obey the "move
on' order. Finally Marshal Thompson
orderd the exhausted animal placed in
the Cardnen barn until morning, and
it was then taken to the Dotsero
country.
Many ranch changes are being made
this spring, and the farmers are making
their plans for the usual spring work.
Making plans, however, is about all
they can do, for the almost impossible
condition Of the roads and the sloppy
condition of the ranches makes it diff
ficult to accomplish much in the way
of farm work. The present indications
are that we shall have late spring
and that the work of putting in the
farm crops will be punched in very
short space of time, provided the help
can be procured to do the planting in
a hurry.

OLD FRIENDS VISIT

Mrs. John Post and Dr. and Mrs.
Harry Colman Of Barron, Wis, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Newt Groves, daughter
and grandchild, of Joplin, Mo-, spent
several days last week as guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. M. Emmons, The
above are all lifelong friends and old
schoolmates of both Mr.. and Mrs. En-
mons, but it was their first visit to
Eagle River and all were very much
impressed with the wonderful lakes
and opportunities of this place. Mrs.
Post is one of the Oldest residents of
Barron, going there with her husband
more than forty years ago when it
was wilderness. Mr.. Groves was the
first conductor on the 500 road, leav-
ing there many years ago and locating
at Harrison, Ark, where he has fol
lowed his same old profession of rail
reading until two years ago when he
retired from active work. Dr. Colman
was raised in Barron, Wis, and after
graduating and entering the medical
profession he decided that his old
home town was good enough for him
to work in, where he has now been
practising for many years, eing at
present chief surgeon of a large hos
pital there. For the southerners of the
visitors it was the first time that Mr..
and Mrs. Emmons had seen them for
33 years, but after visiting several of
the resorts tributary to Eagle River
they gave a solemn promise that they
would certainly return again soon.
Some of them were so much impress
ed with the future possibilities of our
town that they are thinking seriously
of returning for good.

This is the final stamp of approval
