SEEK RAISE FOR soLoNs

Only one constitutional amendment
will come before the people for vote
at the April election according to
election notices now being prepared
by officials of the secretary of states
office.
Should this amendment meet the ap-
prevail of the voters the salary of
legislators will be raised from $500
for session to $3.50, with ten cents
a mile allowed for travelling expenses
Three more amendments will come
up at the November election, making
a total of four which the voters will
pass upon during 1924. The other
three are: An amendment providing
for additional circuit judges; an
amendment providing for the pre-
servation for forests and establish
ment of a state forestry policy; and
an amendment which grants a GER
tain degree of home rule for cities.
The election notices, which will con
tain the amendments to be passed
upon, are almost ready for, distribu-
ton to the election officials in coun-
ties, cities, town and villages.

Snow which is removed but partial
ly results in ruts in the covering mat
Of snow, which all wheeled vehicles
follow. There is no more destructive
treatment to be given any highway
than a concentration of all loads on
the same spot The result is a speedy
pushing aside of foundation stones,
and a rutty condition which is ex-
tremely destructive of the road.
County, State, and municipal au-
thorities can well afford to make reg
ulations regarding snow removal,
which will protect the highways which
cost so much. An investment of five,
ten, twenty, thirty thousand dollars a
mile should not be imperilled because
of unwillingness to spend a few dol
lars per mile during winter for pro-
per and adequate snow removal.-Na-

SNOW REMOVAL

A good road may be badly injured
by improper snow removal AS yet,
clearing highway of snow is any
body's job" in most localities; if the
State or county doesn't do it, the
transportation company will Indeed,
many automobile trucking concerns in
the Middle West and North have more
adequate snow removal apparatus
than the States, the roads of which
they use.
But the private concern, in remov-
ing snow from highway, naturally
considers only it's immediate benefit,
and spends no more money on the
task than necessity requires.
Snow removed from the complete
width of the highway, down to the
surface, permits the road to freeze
but it freezes all over, and in the
spring, thaws all over. Snow removed
from the center of highway pre-
sents strip for freezing, leaving the
sides of the road protected from cold
by snow. When the thaw comes and
the snow disappears, the sides are
left soft and the center hard; result,

Dry. MAYO CARS COLLIDE

What came very near being a fatal
auto accident occurred at the corner
of Railroad and Division streets Sun
day morning when the cars of G. T.
Dryz and Jesse Mayo met head on.
Both cars were badly wrecked and
the flying glass broken from the
windshields caused Mrs. Dryz to be
severely cut in the face, requiring
some stitches to be taken by DR.. Mey-
er The occupants of the Mayo car
luckily escaped without injury. The
accident forcibly emphasizes the need
of an arterial highway system on the
main streets of Eagle River which
would eliminate accidents of that ma
ture.

LICENSE GOES WITH CAR

The license that one obtains from
the secretary of state now attaches
to the car and not the owner, in &C
cordance with changed provision Of
the state vehicle registration law,
made by the last legislature.
Heretofore, the license was per-
nit for certain person to own and
operate definitely described car.
Were he to sell that car and &C
quire another, he kept the license
plates and by payment of so cents to
the secretary of state obtained a
change of his permit applying to the
new car. The law now provides, how
ever, that the plates go along with
the car, and for the new outfit the
owner must obtain plates either by
paying the required tax or by trans
ferring the registration that the pre-.
vious owner had made, to himself.
When an owner sells car, he
parts with the license. When one
buys a used car, he can pay a dollar
to the secretary of state and thus
give life to the license that the pre-
vious owner had obtained If the pre-
vious owner had not obtained Ii.

cases with cars held by dealers fol

KOrb Loses Two Dogs
By Poison Route Friday
LOSES TWO vAEUABEE AIRDALE
DoGs-oNE n uf&DRED DOL
LAR REWARD OFFERED

VIM. Korb of Carpenter Lake suf-
fered the loss of two valuable Airdale
dogs and faithful pets and companions
last Friday when some one dropped
poisoned meat near his h0mes which
both dogs got in short time. Mr..
Korb was able to secure s0n1eeOf the
deadly bait and states that it was not
at all frozen which could have hard
~ been the case had it been~set out
by any trapper for wild game, and
even had it been, its presence so close
to his home was clear violation of
the state laws, which provide that
poison set out must be only at GER
tain seasons of the year andadomestic
animals protected by poisoning signs

one may take measuressto keep ami
mails for which it is not intended away
Mr.. Korb offers a rewardsof $4,000
for information that. will leadStoathe
conviction of the party or parties who
were the cause of his dogs dying a
brutal death and every dog lover who
has ever watched pet dog die from
poison, sincerely hopes that. he will
be successful in locating the offender
Dog prisoners are much too numerous
in the vicinity of Eagle River, many
valuable and cherished dogs having
been destroyed in that manner by PEG
pie lacking the humanity to openly
destroy what may in some cases be
nuisance to them or others, or to
satisfy a grievance against the owner.
We do not question the right Of any
person to take a shot gun and go gum
ming for his neighbors dog if the own.
err does not take the proper care Of it,
but obliterating the nuisance by the
sneaking, cowardly poison route, is a
method of getting satisfaction that we
have no use for. About three years
ago Mr.. Korb lost another Airdale
while coming to town with him in the
same despicable manner.

Rhinelander and Locals
Play Close Basketball
sNAPPIEsT GAME OF THE SEA-
SON ENDED IN SCORE OF IL
TO 1--WE LOST

Last. Friday night the Eagle High
School Basket Ball quintet played the
snappiest game of the season up to
date, against the Rhinelander High
at Rhinelander When the two teams
first came out upon the floor the diff
ference in their size made it seem as
though Rhinelander would have "easy
pickin'" We heard one Rhinelander
fan remark, Well, Eagle played us
a close game at the Tournament last
year, but | guess they have nothing
left this year." He changed his mind
when the game opened in the first
quarter and Eagle showed a speed
that kept the ball away from the
Rhinelander basket during the entire
quarter. Hoover, our center put the
ball thru the ring twice in succession
and Ewald made free throw SO the
score at end of first quarter was 5
and in our favor.
The second quarter opened with as
much pep as the first. Belongy Gag
ed another one for Eagle but Kirk
and Carl the two old stars on the
Rhinelander team each connected
with the basket once and the score
stood Z to 4 in our favor at end of
first half.
In the third quarter Rhinelander be
gan to run in new men and they
played for all they were worth to
win Belongy made one more basket
and Ewaid another free throw for
the local boys but Kirk put the ball
thru once and Fortier their center
made a successful long shot while
EvensOn and DerOcker each made a
free throw for Rhinelander so the
score was 10 and 10 at the end of the
third quarter.
In the fourth quarter the real fight
for victory began. Belongy Gagged one
for the locals and Rhinelander putting
on all the steam they had sent the
ball down twice to Kirk who succeed
ed caging it both times on quick short
shots. The locals had several open
shots at the basket after that but in
their eagerness to make they miss
ed, so the final score was IA and II
for Rhinelander
Mr.. MacChesney of Crandon a form
er Wisconsin and Lawrence coach
and gym instructor refereed the game
He gave both sides a square deal and
kept down the rough stuff as far as
anyone could do SO in game as close
as this one. We feel that we receiv.
ed square deal from the Rhinelan.
der High School and we believe that
as long as Mr.. Brazure, the present
superintendent is connected with
their school that anyone playing
Rhinelander will receive the same.

10 sHELTER FARMERs, TEAMs

Like the Tomahawk vicinity, Eagle
River farmers have long felt the
want of suitable place to tie their
horses during cold ard stormy day.
in winter and although unlike those
farmers spoken of in the paper last
week, you will see as many horses
blanketed as you see cars here. Still
the horses are at the mercy Of the
wind and snow
The Community Service Club that
is composed of farm women almost
exclusively, saw and recognized this
need and to help correct this, pur-
chased the old building owned by the
firm of Strong & Manley, situated at
the rear of their new garage.
This building will be fixed up on
the insode and will accommodate
several teams. The only drawback
to this purchase is the fact of itsnot
being of such size that it cannot be
thrown open to the whole community
and will. be reserved for the families
of the C-S Club.
However, this club has on its mem
bership list almost every farmers
wife within a large radius of Eagle
River and it will cover a long felt
need to these people who must come
to town during the winter for sup
plies and to sell their surplus farm
products.
The merchants of Eagle River are
the people who should be interested
in this project and the real progress
i've, up-to-date, public-spirited mer-
chant will more than double his
sales by providing the: sheds at least
back of his business place.
The Community Service Club is a
permanent institution in Eagle River
and stands for progressiveness and
public welfare.
The work done by this club hereto.
fore has hardly been worth mention
ing, but among the things looked for
ward to, in the future, is the com
munity building and with the help
of every interested voter in this com
munity, it will be possibility. ***
