Camp There Every Night.
BATH HOUSES ERECTED
Facilities For Bathing Have Been
Provided by the City Erecting
Bath Houses. IL

Work at the tourists camp site at
Lake Lavina was completed this
week and now Hurley can boast of
this popular convenience for
tourists. Already the camp is be-
ing used, from two to four parties
having camped there every night
for the past week
The road to the camp site from
highway No 10 was constructed by
the county. The city erected a
bath house, toilets, placed tables and
benches and piped two springs that
will furnish good water
A sign has been placed where the
road to the camp leads from No 10
directing tourists by means of an
arrow pointing to the camp site
II took considerable agitation and
effort TO get this convenience for
tourists, and now that we have it we
are all proud of it, One Of the
leaders in the movement was E. S.
Hagen of the Iron Exchange Bank,
Mr. Hagen desires through the
columns of the News to express APP
probation in behalf of the com
munity to the county board and the
Hurley council for their whole
hearted response in the matter.

Local Officials Must Enforce
Prohibition Laws.

Madison-Local police authorities
win have to enforce liquor laws at
Wisconsin county fairs this year,
Herman Sachtjen, prohibition com
missioner, announces. He says
that his force of deputies is too
small to police dances and fairs.
Complaints from all s@tions of
the state are reported by Com
missioner Sachtjen to be flooding
his office. The various county fairs
are all requesting aid of prohibition
deputies to stamp ont Bookkeeping,
while local authorities are asking
help to stop drinking at dances.
with our small force of IL men
it is essential that we devote our
time to activity against the
manufacture of illicit liquor" Mr.,
Sachtjen said "Otherwise we
could not scratch the surface of the
moonshine traffic in Wisconsin.
Local authorities must do policing "
The prohibition commissioner said
that the greatest number Of com
plants received by his depart
ment are coming from dry sec
tions Of the state. He attributes
this fact to the closer attention paid
by citizens to liquor drinking in the
sections where prohibition opinion is
strongest.

IN a report to the water COM

engineer. says that he is conducting
experiments with the samples of
water taken from Lake Lavina, after
which he viii prepare preliminary
MANS and specifications, which he

Mr.. Brahtz is the engineer en-
gagged by the city to investigate the
feasibility of making Lake Lavina
source of supply for the city. He
did some preliminary work here and
took samples of the water in the
lake concerning which he says:
"The sample of water taken at
the point where / contemplate to
install the intake pipe is very good
and only needs treatment to clarity
It. that is to give it clearer color,
not that the coloring matter would

but we all know that the public de-
mands clear and cool water, and
the temperature is excellent, about,

Mr.. Brahtz also stated that he
had received a letter from the state
board of health advising him that it
would not be necessary to send a
man here as the board knows con-
ditions around Lake Lavina from
previous Investigations. He was
instructed by the board to go
ahead and prepare preliminary plans
and specifications for the proposed
water plant to be submitted to the
board for its approval.
Mr.. Brahtz will soon be in Hurley
to continue the work. After the
4 plans are drawn and have been APP
proved by the state board of health

has been settled a contract for the

RAT BOUNTY PROVIDES PIN
MONEY" FOR BOYS
With Bounty Law in Operation Less
Than Two Months SIPS Has
Already Been Paid Out.

More than $125 has already been
paid by Iron county on rats and
woodchucks, according to County
Clerk Chas. Noren, who reports that
an average of seven or eight APP
plications for bounty are made daily
at his office.
Some days, however, the number
falls below the average. For
instance but two applications were
filed on Thursday, while on the day
before an even dozen rat bounties
were paid The total number so far
exceeds 500.
In the course of year Iron coun-
ty will have paid out neat sum for
rat bounty if the present rate is
kent up, and if the bounty law is
continued in force. The law has
been in operation only about two
months and tidy sum has already
been paid out. 1t shows that boys
are taking advantage of the OPP
portunity to make "pin money" and
incidentally are Kidding the COM
munity of the rodents.
While the bounty applies on
woodchucks as well as rats, but few
woodchucks are killed in and around
the vicinity of Hurley, according to
the county clerk 1t is believed,
however, that in other sections of
the county, especially in the south
ern part, woodchucks are close
second to rats Township clerks
also help to administer the bounty
law in Iron county, but as yet the
number paid has not been learned
Townships will be reimbursed by
the county for the amounts paid out

Cabbage Crop Below Last Year.

Madison-LOvers Of sauerkraut
will mourn at the news given out by
the state livestock and crop re-
porting service today.
The cabbage crop is IS per cent
below last years production. How
ever, it is thought that there will
still be plenty to go around as the
crop last year was the biggest one
in the history of the state. New
York and Wisconsin lead the world
in production of cabbage.
This years acreage is three per-
cent less than last year. In
Racine county, the largest growing
county, the acreage has increased
two per cent. However. Outagamie
county, second largest cabbage pro-
ducing county, has decreased two
per cent. A reduction of 10 per
cent has taken place in Kenosha
county. In Fond du Lac and Pierce
counties the cabbage acreage has
been reduced 6 and per cent
respectively.

gather as early as nine O'Clock and
by noon parking space was at a
premium.
The program started about IL
O'Clock and was continued until
dinner time and was then continued
after dinner. From start to finish
there was something doing all the
time to interest young and old alike.
The first number on the program
in the morning was a reading in
Finnish by Miss XVI. This was
followed by the giving of the history
of the Federal Farm Loan Act and
the manner of obtaining a Federal
loan and also brief summary of
the local association by the secret
airy, Alfred Kartinen, also in the
Finnish language. M. N Wester-
back, of Ironwood, editor of the
"Auttaja", than gave very in
teresting talk in the Finnish
language on agricultural work
The afternoons program consisted
of talk on the county agents
work and the farmer part in better
farming program in Iron county by
Agent Shaffer. A short address in
English, on the relationship of the
farmer, business man and pro-
fessional man to the community was
given by Mr.. Kaartinen. This was
followed by a talk in Finnish by j.
G.. Ahonen.
The sports and games started soon
after dinner The first was a
tug-of-war between the North side
and the south side (of the county,
and was won by the north side. A
tug-of-war then followed between
two picked teams of boys. Prizes
were donated for these events by the
Iron Exchange Bank, consisting of a
tub of ice cream and box of
cigars. In the race for the ice
cream it was a draw.
The bicycle race was won by

second, and 0nnie Nevela third.
The baseball game was won after
hotly contested game by Cary by
one point over Meadeville, the final
score being 10 and g.. John Gould
handled the indicator like an old
timer from the big leagues.
The horseshoe pitching contest
finally left Erick Ahonen and John
Hermanson, and Leonard Suokko
and Emil Sippenen as the two lead
ing teams. After a holly contested
game between these two teams,
Ahonen and Hermanson were de-
clared the champions for the day
Both teams pitched a wicked shoe
and the winners certainly earned
their game.
The amount cleared from the sale
of ice cream, pop and eats IS not
known at the present time, but 1t Is
certain that the amount viii be
| large enough to pay the expenses OF
the picnic.

ANECDOTES OF
THE FAMOUS

One point in common which
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln seem to have, besides be-
ing "saviours" of their country
in various crises, is a number of
early unrequited love affairs. Ac-
cording to William Roscoe Thay-
er's George Washington, people
still speculate why so many OF
the young women whom Wash
ington took a fancy to chilled and
drew back when it came to
question of marriage.
One very clever writer, says
Mr.. Thayer, thinks perhaps that
his nose was unusually large in
his youth, and that repealed them.
Mr.. Weik gives no reason why,
for Abraham Lincoln, the coarse
of true love ran so far from
smooth, but points out, in his
1.-THE Real Lincoln" some little
known facts about Lincoln's early
infatuation for three different
young women. and with what
seeming hesitation he finally mar
ried his fourth choice.
