the decisive retort.

Lutte OF that lifelong friendship?
Casey knew when Rhodes made up
his mind to do thing no argument
was likely to shake his resolve
In the depths Of his heart Rhodes
felt that his friend was three-fourths
right, but-well-he had declared the

passenger. on our first voyage. What
does he look like?" he queried abb
ruptly.
"A tramp of the worst description
apparently nude save the old trousers
through which his legs are thrust
and the ragged coat wrapped about
him."
He must have been preparing to
go to roost-taking 1t easy-disrob-
ing to take a flier In Arctic tempera-

NO" decided Rhodes, there's too
many sharks right down there. II
would seem inhuman to let him down
to them. until he pegs out; it might
be any moment now"
Don't think me foolish or fanciful,
but the idea came to me that those
sharks were following In the wake of

Its only your fancy" returned the
other. They're simply on a voyage

sighted Il lrange sort of bird sail

Never tell me again that these sea-

Rhodes made no reply: his COM

than he would care to own.

insisted Casey.

This is no time to be prating Of

Can Use Lakes.

The right of fishermen or pleas
ure seekers to pass through a
creek connecting two meandered
lakes has been established by au-
thorlty of a member of one of
the states highest commissions,
says the Rhinelander Daily News.
Visitors and summer residents in
the vicinity of Columbus and Long
lakes, north of this city, have been
denied the privilege of navigating
the creek which flows between the
two lakes by the owner of the
property on either side of the
creek, matter of no small incon-
venlence to them.
1t is reported, however that
Commissioner Halbert of the state
railroad commission yesterday Wis
tied the locality and has assured
the residents of that vicinity that
there is no question as to their
rights in the premises, conditioned,
of course, upon the fact that they
do not injure or damage the pro-
perty owners lands or crops.

READY FOR CURRENT
Three Lakes Business Houses
and Others Enjoying Elec-
trio Current Since First of
Week.

Three Lakes business houses and
residences are now enjoying the
service of electricity since Satur-
day afternoon last. At that time
current was turned on the new
line just finished from the Eagle
River power plant to that village.
Last spring the village of Three
Lakes voted at a special election
the sum of $4,000 for the con-
struction of a power line from the
Eagle River plant to that village,
distance of eleven miles. Work
was begun as soon as the ground
was in condition for the placing
of the poles and wiring was COM
pleted the latter part of last week.
Many summer homes along the
route have agreed to take service
from this power line and it will
mean much in comfort to every
body, and also lessening of high
insurance rates upon all property.
With the installation of twenty
four hour electric service in that
village and community, there will
be placed upon the market quite
a number of lighting plants from
homes and business houses, who
have no use for them.
Three Lakes is to be congratu-
lated upon it's progressive spirit
and the community will be better
equipped for business and social
purposes with proper lighting and
power facilities.

COMMENCING ON DEPOT
Northwestern Let Contract
for Modern Structure in
Eagle River Ground Bro
ken Coming Week.

Within the next week ground
will be broken for the new C. e.
N. w. depot in Eagle River. This
will replace the old building which
was destroyed by fire last winter
and which had served the village
for the past thirty-eight years.
Contract has been let to T. L..
Lake Construction Company of
Chicago, and the work will be
under the supervision of Mr.. Eas-
ter, now in the village superin-
tending the starting of the ground
work. The building will be of
BRICK and occupy the entire park
grounds on the east side of the
tracks. A passenger platform will
be placed from the depot north
Tor about block, and another one
south of the depot along Sthe
tracks.
Warehouses now occupied by
Hanke, Ewald and Morgan along
the tracks south of the new depot,
will be moved across to the west
side OF the tracks opposite the de-
pot and the railroad warerooms
will take their places.
With new depot and improved
railroad grounds, the new build
ing now under construction by E.
ID. Richmond for his drug store
on Wall street, the shabby appear
ance of the village will be decided
ly improved. Then, on top of all
that IT more paint and repairs are
used on both Railroad and Wall
streets, the village will create
better impression, especially when
we build paved streets and white
way next season. These additions
must be made and cannot be
delayed year after year. The
appearance of a city is the essen
tial feature to progress, and can
not be made with untidy build
ings and mud puddles. The days
of those are gone, and Eagle River
must of a necessity prepare now
to improve, no matter what the
cost. Funds may not be available
at present but some scource must
be created to care for necessary
improvements.
Let's go.

PREPARE BIG PROGRAM
Land o Lakes Association
Planning Big Drive for
Members and Funds sheet
ings are Being Held.

At Minocqua last week a mass
meeting was held which was adj
dressed by DR.. T. Leroy North,
constructive builder of publicity,
who has been spending the past
several months in that village.
The address of DR.. North was
given ON the benefits which are to
be derived from systematic
method of advertising a commun-
ity, a state and a government in
order to bring the fundamental as
sets plainly forth for the identif-
cation of the public at large. His
talk was for the advancement of
a new plan of publicity which the
Land O. Lakes Association, formed
last October at Rhinelander for
the purpose of advertising Wiscon-
sins assets both to the recreation
loving people and to those in other
branches of business life, like agri-
culture and industrial activities
and opportunities.
The plan of the Land O. Lakes
Association is to grid the entire
state in one big association and
advertise extensively her assets.
In this, if carried out properly,
there is no question as to the fu-
ture of the state. But in order to
do this the nroDer method mist
be unearthed and used to give to
the people of the United States
just what Wisconsin has and at
the same time just where they
may be found.
Work in organization will pos
sibly be made on the community
plan, taking in all Of the thirty
odd northern counties in the state.

Burberry Pickers.

Just to show what the average
man and woman will go through
to acquire their winters supply
OF fruit, one but needs visit the
BURBERRY grounds west of Con
over almost any day. Sunday
morning between the hours of
eight and nine there were nearly
fifty cars from Wakefield and
other nearby Michigan villages on
the grounds with baskets and pals
picking berries. When it is re-
membered that these cars travelled
about eighty miles in the early
morning, it will then be known
what the BURBERRY is worth to
the household as a delicacy during
the winter months. While the
crop is not entirely ripened, with
IN another week it will have fully
developed for prime picking.

Speed Boats Arriving.

During the past week four more
Bearcat' speed launches have ar
rived for residents upon the lower
chain of lakes. The remainder of
the nine launches ordered for
these waters are expected within
the week. This hotilla will show
at the races to be held later in the
season. AS each launch is guaran-
teed to develop a speed of twenty
live miles there is bound to be
some close races. In this event
the fellow who can jockey the
corners and coax an inch more
speed from his craft will carry off
the prizes.
