Short Water Supply.

Hurley is having a hard time
locating a supply of water suffi-
Gent for the city's needs. Accord
ing to last weeks Miner all efforts
so far have been unsuccessful.
Wells they have driven in hopes of
securing enough drinking water
have proven inadequate and there
is a possibility f their having to
use the water from a lake nearby.
But if this is done the water will
have to be purified before it can
be used. A great many cities are
up against a pure water question,
and Eagle River is one that surely
needs better water. AS it is the
village must depend upon its few
wells to supply the needs. The
water from the river, while used
for ordinary purposes is absolute
ly unfit for house use.

RESORT OWNERDROWNS
John Jaud, of Edgewater Re-
sort, browns in Vudesare
While Fishing.

Various stories are told about
the drowning of John Jaud of
Edgewater Resort, which took
place last Thursday afternoon
December Goth. 1t seems that he
went fishing through the ice on
Vudesare lake and when he failed
to return friends searched and
found his bag with supplies but
could not locate Jaud. When they
began dragging the lake his body
was found about thirty feet along
the current from where it is pre-
sumed he fell In. 1t is thought
that in the dense fog and dusk
of the evening he lost his bearings
and walked right into an open
stretch of water known to all to
be open.
John Jaud was born in Germany
Jan. 18th, 1872, coming to America
as a child with his parents. He
came to this region several years
ago from Milwaukee and establish
ed the Hillside resort on the
southeast end of Vudesare lake
This was a popular resort. Jaud
sold the Hillside to William Love
who has since sold it again. A
couple of years ago Jaud built the
Edgewater on the shore of the
same lake and was doing a sue
cessful business.
The body was shipped to Chlca
go for interment, Mrs. Jaud ac'
companying the remains.

THIS GUY is SOME SORE
Merrill Land Owner Breaks
Into Song When Telling of
Theft of Christmas Trees.
Thomas Bagges

Instead of being filled with the
Christmas spirit" and good will
to all men, the following taken
from the Merrill Daily Herald,
tells the tale of a fellow who
breaks into prose-poetry while
commenting upon the guy who
steals Christmas trees from an
other fellows realty holdings. He
slams the thief as follows:
Of all the pests I like the worst,
his name is x Y z; he fivvers to
the countryside and steals his
Xmas tree. He wades into my
swamp and there with ak and
might and main, he whites off
the spruce tops so they" never
grow again. He loads his hivver
to the top with trees for all his
friends, and, kindly to his neigh
Dor then my swamp he recon-
mends. He is a husky woodman
and he swings a wicked ak; nor
does he give whoop for that,
on which I'm paying tax. Can
you imagine such a hick, who'd
steal a Xmas tree, and take it
home to- please his kids and yet
be conscience free; can he raise
presidents and such, and good old
fashioned girls; while from off a
pilfered Xmas tree their yuletide
gifts are whirled? | only wish
that when he's gone, when from
this earth he's fled, that he should
take his tree along to haunt him
when he's dead. Poor boob; if you
were sore in need of money on
that day and asked ane for a tree,
I'm sure I'd not turn you away.

BODY Found in Pelican Lake.

Pelican Lake, Wis. Dec. 22-The
body of Frank Slater was found
yesterday morning in Pelican lake,
where he evidently had been
drowned while fishing. Wednesday
morning, in apparently good
health, Mr.. Slater went fishing.
At dusk some of his nelghbors
found him in not so good cond1-
ton and offered to take him home
on their sled, but he refused, say
ing he wanted to fish longer. That
was the last seen OF HIM. The
next day when it was seen that
smoke did not emerge from the
chimney of his home, in which ne
lived alone, an Investigation was
started. Mr.. Slater was an old
timer of Pelican. He leaves one
daughter Mrs. Morris, who resides
at Nation, and who was notified
at once.-Antigo Herald.

NELS DIDN'T CATCH EN-
Fish Were Too Wise for Old
Timer on Lac Vieux Des-
erf.

Fishing through the ice has it's
difficulties just the same as most
any other recreational pastime-
some days you get EN-; then again
you fall flat.
Take the case of Nels Nelson,
that hardy old lake region pioneer
ON Lac Vieux Desert a few miles
north of the village of Phelps.
Nels surely has the know-how,
but even at that in this advanced
state of ours even the finny tribe
lays a side bet among themselves
that plays havoc with the fellow
and his baited hook and line.
Nelson was down Thursday with
Dan Anderson, caretaker for the
Slaughter summer home. Both
were after fresh bait in order to
snare some of the big pike in Old
Desert lake. Nels tells of how for
the past two weeks he has been
fishing on that lake for pike, but
with absolutely no success. Says
one day he will fish right along
side John Jaud and while Jaud
gets creel of fine pan fish, he
maybe gets lone perch. Next
day he takes the holes Jaud has,
while the latter takes those of
Nels. Same old story. Jaud gets
EN- all, and Nels gets trimmed.
Day after day this has been hap
pening, and now it is question
with him whether he spits on the
bait wrong, or whether it is a
case of being jinxed. Anyhow Mel
son is eating bacon instead of fish,

manager Of Governor James j.

here looking over foxes as they
are ranched in Villas county, His
authority that this section is
ideally adapted to Fox raising,
cannot be disputed.

LICENSE GOES WITH CAR
Auto License for 1924 is Now
Attached to Car and Re-
mains With 1t.

The license that one obtains
from the secretary of state is now
attached to the car and not to
the owner, states the Hurley
Miner, in accordance with a chang
ed provision of the state vehicle
registration law, made by the last
legislature.
Heretofore, the license was a
permit for a certain person to
own and operate a definitely des-
cfibed car. Were he to sell that
car and acquire another, he kept
the license plates and by payment
of so cents to the secretary of
state obtained charge of his per-
NIT applying to the new car. The
law now provides, however, that
the plates go along with the car
and for the new outfit the owner
must obtain plates either by pay,
ing the required tax or by trans
ferring the registration that the
previous owner has made, to him.
self. When an owner sells a 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 previous owner had moi
obtained license, as might bt
true in many cases with cars hello
by dealers for sale, new license
must be obtained.

SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL
Eagle River High Stages Fine
Carnival for Purchasing a
Radio.

Wednesday evening, Dec. 10Th,
all paths led to the new High
School building where the stu
dents and teachers presented
picturesque carnival. The popu-
larity of this means of raising
money for public institution is
without question. The praise for
the successful work of the stu
dents in the various departments
of the carnival is due to the per-
severance of the students them
selves under the efficient leader
ship of the teachers.
1T seems that the ambitions of
the pupils of our High School to
purchase a radio are surely to be
satisfied, Judging by the financial
returns received from the Carni-
val given last Wednesday evening
The Carnival started with
lunch at $50 in the afternoon. 1t
consisted Of a trip thru many
Lands" A number of beautifully
decorated booths representing var
ious countries such as Japan, Hol-
land, Italy and America were con-
veniently situated in the Gymnas-
ium. Tables and chairs were also
placed in the center of the gym
SO the lunch was served in the
regular cafeteria style After the
lunch the crowd attended the
show in the main auditorium
which consisted of one act farce
entitled Hans Won Smash and of
the Alabama Jubilee Minstrels.
The play was we'll rendered; Hair
rison We'll as the Dutchman and
Chas. Thorpe as Mr.. Prettyman
the Dude deserve special mention
for carrying their characters to
perfection. The Minstrel program
also was we'll rendered considering
the musical ability and musical
training of some of the chief ac-
tors. VIM. Ketz, Orval Hunter and
Roland Fenton the "Ukelele Trio"
John Ferguson as the Coon Jigger,
"Swede" Herberg and Ronald Bent
as 'Dinah" were the star perform
ers.
After the show the crowd retir-
ed to the Gym to participate in
the Jitney Dance, the Music for
which was furnished by Miss Mar
garet McGregor and Ronald Adj
ans. They also took in the
Fountain of Youth" Popcorn
and Candy" Fortune Telling"
Curiosity" and Parcels Post"
booths.
Both financially and also social
ly for those who entered into the
spirit of it the Carnival was
great success. The total receipts
of the evening were S151.45. Due
to the generosity of the Eagle
business men the expenses were
small so that the receipts were
almost net profit. The people of
Eagle River have always patron
lied the High School affairs ex-
ceptionally well and we want to
express our thanks to all Of them
both for patronizing the Carnival
and for furnishing the things to
make it a success. We wish to
say also that every cent of the
money received at any of the
High School entertainments is be-
ing accounted for and placed in
deposit in fund at the local
bank. The fund at present am
cunts to approximately $4,000
A portion of this fund will be
used to purchase suits for the
basket ball team and the rest will
be used for a radio set.
Our next ambition is the motion
picture machine. Help us boost
again folks. Remember it's your
school. Principal Kracht.
