FARMER4hI
OF BAD ROADS
Appear before County Commits
siOnerS and Ask for I'm

MONEY Is INSUFFICIENT

At the request of a township
citizens committee appointed
by Mayor Robertson, the county
commissioners came here to
hold q hearing on roads Mon
day afternoon: The -r1eeting
took place in the directors
room of the Peoples Bank and
farmers living in every direc-
tion from Chapel Hill were pre-
sent to Join ii. the petition that
something be done to improve
the roads in this end of Orange.
One after another of them
arose to tell Of how bad the
road was that served as his only
route to Chapel Hill. r. ?. Har-
riS, the agriculture teacher ins
the Chapel Hill school, who
travels over all roads, reviewed
the whole situation, discussing
each road in turn and saying
that many of them were impas-
sable during part of tn year.
"Not enough money" was the
substances of the e~Qlanation
advanced by the commissioners,
There was only 10000 tax in
come for Grads all over the
cnnn1N they said and il Simnlv
wouldn't 90 around. In reply to
a question, Chairman Word
saii that there were about coo
miles of public roads to be
cared for by the county.
Present at the meeting be-
sides several of the leading citi-
zens of the town, were these
men from the country.

across him, every little while,
at the post-office or the drug

Miss Eliza Mallett showed
me a day cr' two ago a tiny
chair, in which she, at the age
of one and a half, camepall the
way from Alabama to Fayette-
vile. The trip was made by
buggy. The little chair was set
down on the floor in front Of
the main seat, and Miss Eliza
was held safe in it by the aid OF
a leather belt. The very day |
heard of this, Mrs. Archer told
me of how she once went from
Richmond, Virginia; to her
Georgia home with four Of her
children, the eldest of them be-
ing six years old. The trip, al
though made by railway, took
two days and two nights. She
had to do, by herself, the whole
job of caring for the children.

EXPLAINS HIGH PRICES

With reference to the great amount
of criticism appearing in the news
papers from day to day concerning the
alleged advancing cost of building ma
terials, G.. P. Crosby, well known
lumber manufacturer of this city, has
contributed the following statement
giving the side of the manufacturer
and dealer in the argument. Mr.. Cros-
by says:
/ have seen a good many articles
in the papers lately in regard to the
tremendous" advance in the price of
building, and some Of these papers adj
vocate the discontinuance of opera
tions until prices return to normal. /"
Now | will agree that there is a
shortage of materials, steel being one,
and of labor, and I believe that it
would be wise to discontinue all pub
lie works which could be handled just
as well and at less cost during years
of depression. But I do not think that
the complaints as to costs of erecting
buildings for homes or for business
purposes are entirely just. Two years
ago, in 1921, was the downward point
of prices for labor, lumber, hardware
and many other items used in build
ing. It did not affect the bath room
trust" as they did not change their
prices, but as to lumber, which is the
main item for building here, it could
have been bought for perhaps 20 per
cent less than it can now. Carpenter
labor was little less, common labor
was down to $3.50 per day, where it is
now 1928 and up.
That was the time to build. I will
cite a case of some Milwaukee friends

Local Fish Hatchery to
Handle Pike Fry Only
MATCHING OPERATIONS UNDER
WAY DISTRIBUTION or FRY
SOON TO BEGIN

&
The state fish Matching station
which opened two weeks ago for the
annual Matching and distribution Of
pike fry, under the SEEMING direction
of Henry Chapman and of Henry Mel
Ike in charge of the Matching prepare
tions has advanced to a point where
shipments will commence soon. The
state fish car Badger No. 2, which
loaded at Wild Rose last week with
brook trout fry for up state points
was set out here Friday and will re-
main until filled with pike fry ship
raents for distribution down state.
Frank Suthers who for twenty-seven
years has accompanied the car around
oh it's visits through the state, when
interviewed Monday stated that he ex-
pressed the sentiment Of the state
conservation commission in saying
that Eagle River and surrounding
points extended a cooperation in the
way of always being present upon the
arrival of the car when loaded with
any kind of fish fry, to promptly re-
ceive whatever the quota might be,
thus saving the state much time that
could be considered valuable when it
is taken into consideration that the
distribution must be made speedily
for the protection of the fry and that
much territory has to be covered on
a single trip. He also explained that
every applicant for fry receives con
sideration and that if the supply runs
short in any season, that requests un-
filled are the first supplied the fol
lowing year.
In conservation with Messrs. Chap
man and Suthers they alluded to the
fact that in the past there has been
more or less just complaint that the
state when securing spawn of any
species from locality did not always
return to the lakes or streams as
much new fry as needed to restock
them. The policy of the state will
hereafter be to supply each and all
places from which spawn are secured
with an excess amount if anything in
order that such fishing grounds may
be kept up at their former state of at
traction for fishermen.
The Eagle River hatchery is devoted
to pike only and this year the spawn
were taken from Twin and Lac Vieux
Desert lakes it being the intention of
the commission to equalize the amount
of SEEMING done as widely as possible
so that no particular territory will
suffer from a lack of inhabitants of
the waters especially vital to the sue
cess of the chief business interests in
the attempt to stock or restock less
favored fishing sections

who told me in July of that year that
they wanted to build home but they
were going to wait another year till
prices got a little lower. | told them
that they were as low now as they
would ever see, and urged them to do
their building then. imagine that
they did not take my advice and now
are hollering about the high price"
of material and labor Their opportun-
ity was before them and they did not
grasp it.
Now in Rhinelander prices on ma
terials and labor have not advanced
very much over 1921 One can build
home at a reasonable figure right
now. There are carpenters here who
are ready to work. There is no car
penter's trust There is a good market
for homes, and there is no trouble to
rent, if you have any spare room. No
body can say that don't take my
own advice, for during the past six or
seven years 1 have built for myself or
for the Oneida Building company,
seventeen houses, and moreover, am
going to build more of them when the
city gets a sewer and water on North
Stevens street.
When wages are low and materials
also as in 1921 we none Of us have any
money to spare. 1t is true that is the
time to build but nobody ever does. it
that way. They wait till the neighbor
begins and then they want to do the
same Well there are a number Of va
cant lots around the city and Rhine
lander people have the money to buy
them with and build. Last year there
was a very large amount of building.
Let's see how it will be this year. The
town can not grow without houses
and stores. Rhinelander Daily News.

RESORTS READY

"a brief call at Found Lake resort
Sunday found the new owners and
proprietors, MIR. and Mrs. Jess A.. John
son enjoying little rest over the
weekend, from the tasks of getting
the place in readiness for the approch-
ing tourist season. The resort was es-
tablished few seasons ago by Ber-
nard Juve and purchased by the
Johnsons as the result of spending
their vacation there last year. Beauti
fully located in a grove of pine trees
with accommodations at present for
about thirty guests, it is the inten-
ton Of the new owners to add to the
capacity as fast as possible which
they feel that the business of the past
and that in prospect will fully justify.
From there we went down to Gabe's
resort on Lost lake where it was plain
ly evident that Ed had been busy dur
ing the winter as three new cottages
with fireplaces and other modern con-
veniences have been built with en-
largements to the main buildings and
he is replacing his present electric
light plant with larger one that
will light up all the buildings and
grounds which will further add to the
attractiveness of one Of the most pop
ular summer recreation spots in the
county.

on Little st. German was SO busy
watching his wife putting in some
garden truck that we didn't wish to
interrupt them so left that place to
call on the next time we pass by.

morrow evening (Friday), and follow
ed Sunday evening by the baccalaur-
cate sermon and the customary com
mencement program on Monday even

Eagle High School year will have

the general remarks heard during the
past school year, it has been a success
full and profitable year for all immed-
lately connected with the closing cere-
monies of the school year. For the
principal, e. w Kracht and his assist
ants Misses Mccullough, Reinhart,
Roher and Beerbaum we have heard
many words of commentator both
from the student body and their par
ents for the earnest effort expended by
them in behalf Of the graduates, while
the class itself has spent an unusually
serious and studious year in its at
tempt to profit to the greatest possible
extent from the instruction given.
It is the largest class ever graduated
from the school, numbering twenty-six

class has ever been granted diplomas
in which each member was better quail
flied to enter the higher institutions

they have as individuals already prov

training they may take up, it will be
accomplished with credit to them

and two passenger coaches will be
set in to handle the passenger traf-
fic during the time of building the
