the general management of affairs is
left in the hands of Fred Behn and
Edw. Giese, the resident partners and
stockholders.
They state that their business re-
lations with the people of Eagle
River and vicinity have been very
pleasant during the ten years that
they have been in operation and are
glad that prospects for the future
will enable them to be counted as
permanent residents here for many
years to come.
1t may also be said that the Eagle
River Lumber Company is one of the
assets that Eagle River would miss in
many ways and from financial stand
point, alone, would regret very much
the loss of a concern that has dis
tributed hundreds of thousands of do
lars directly to the benefit of every
line of business through its monthly
payroll.

dressed lumber and from that time on
has been one of the busiest portions
of the plant.
During the first years the original
four partners carried on the business,
but growing more and more each year
six more were interested and the
capitalization was largely Increased.
Year by year, additions have been
made, first a single mill, blacksmith
shop, wood working shop and the
whole mechanical equipment gradual
ly increased and made better and
more productive. There the timber
they cut is not far from the mill, the
hauling is done by team, when get
ting logs by water, it was first done
by rafting, but of late years logs com
Deerskin river are placed in booms
and towed by launch. During all the
summer months it is frequent and
picturesque sight to see a large mass
of logs slowly moving along toward
their final destination. When not con-
venient to the water and too far for
team hauling, tractors are used.
There is still much timber left in
this and adjoining counties and most
farmers have enough for their own
building purposes if not for whole
sale use.
The business takes in all branches
Of the lumber industry and forest
products, such as pulpwood, tan bark
posts, poles and firewood. LUMBER

coils into the upper and hotter part
of the divided plenum chambers,
while another portion unchanged in
temperature passes into the lower
part of these chambers. The distribu-
ton of this air throughout the build
ing is accomplished through what is
known as the individual duct sys-
tenn" Separate or individual ducts
lead from the pIenum chambers dir
ectly to vertical flues which rise to
each of the rooms of the building.
These individual ducts connect with
both portions of the plenum chamber.
The connection is made through what
is known as mixing hampers. These
mixing hampers are controlled auto
matically by thermOstats located in
the different rooms and regulate at
all times the mixture of hot and tenn
perate air passing into the rooms.
The volume of air going to each room
may be regulated by volume regula-
ting hampers found in the duct just
outside of the plenum chambers.
The direct radiation source of heat
for the various rooms is found in the
radiators installed in these rooms.
These radiators like the mixing dam
pers are controlled by thermostats
which are sensitive to one-half de-
gree change in temperature. Under
this automatic temperature control
system, thermostats set at IS degrees
will act when the temperature reach
es 681a degrees causing the radiator
valves in the room to close and at
the same time causing the cold air
portion of mixing damper to open
slightly while the hot air portion
closes a like amount, thus sending a
mixture of a slightly larger amount of
cold air and a slightly smaller amount
of warm air into the room. This sen.
sitive automatic control means a
mere economic consumption of fuel
and what is most important of all the
safe guarding the health of the child
through the prevention of excessive
temperatures.
The temperature regulating system
in the building was installed by the
Johnson Service Company of Milwau
kee, the largest and oldest manufac
turers of automatic temperature regu
lation apparatus in the world. On the
wall of each room is to be found q
Johnson Positive, Quick-Acting Their
mostat, which has for it's work the
operation of the valves of all radi
ators in the room. In close proxim
ity with it is a Johnson intermediate
misunderstanding Thermostat which
controls the hampers which mix hot
and cold fresh air passing into the
room.
The building is also supplied with
a Johnson Perforated Steam Pipe
Humidifier which insures relative
humidity for the building ranging

less than two years to near the half
million mark.
These are but few Of the direct
things the company has done for the
village of Eagle River and the indir-
ect benefits are too numerous to men
ton but we are assured that their
activities are but just commenced and
with their growth and expansion the
town in which they are located must,
and will reap many benefits not now
foreseen.
Probably no other industry employ
ing the same amount of capital is of
as much benefit to a town or city, as
a numbering company. First there is
the logging branch of which too much
cannot be said. 1t is the heart of the
industry, the axis upon which the
whole industry stands, and logs of
the right quality and rightly manu-
featured means that the saw mill
branch will be able to produce lumber
and other products of a quality which
will not only place it's name among
Producers of the Best, but helps
very materially in placing the name
of the town or city where located
before thousands of people in a way
that brings many returns in goodwill,
dollars and cents.
The growth! and development OF the
Wisconsin, Michigan Lumber Com,
pany will be steady in response to
the demand for its products, and It's
owners and officers are always ready
to grasp any opportunity by associat-
ed effort among themselves or with
the people of Eagle River and vicin-
ity that will rebound to their credit
of the advancement of Eagle River.
The aim and policy of the company
is now and always will be toestablsh
amicable relations between themsel-
YES and the people that will work to
their mutual benefit and the upbuiIl
ing of the community.
Eagle River is today the best
known town in the state, for it's size,
it is known from coast to coast and
has the privilege every summer of
entertaining summer guests from
every state in the Union; it is known
as the play ground of the middle
west, the majority of people coming
for rest or recreation. Aside from
it's being known for these things it il;
the best business town and the best
town to live in the state, and for be-
coming the best we can give credit
and thanks to the Wisconsin, Michi-
gan Lumber Company, the enterprise
that more than any other agency
made it so.

built of sufficient capacity to easily
handle any cut that they might have
and provision was also made to cut
any logs that might be brought by
farmers for their own building pur-
poses. The first intention was to To-
cate the mill on the south side of the
river, but later it was decided that
the north side would be better as
giving them more room. The site now
occupied was leased and shortly after
purchased. 1t is ideally located hav-
ing the main highway which passes
right alongside the mill yards and
with the river in front of the mill
facilities for handling logs that come
down by water are the very best and
as a matter of fact, great deal of
the cut of the mill does come down
that way.

On September II, 1914, the first
log went through the new mill and
before the first of the year the first
seasons cut of the Eagle River Lum-
Der Company was out in the yard in
piles.
They found there refuse from the
mill was more than could be burned
for fuel so a wood machine was put
in to cut short stove wood and the
better waste, too short for lumber
was run through lath mill making
a valuable by-product.
The following year the mill was re-
built and changes made to take care
of more logs, and a planning mill was
added to take care of the demand for

for getting more to keep their mill
going should it be built Finding
everything favorable, the company
sent one of their number here to
look after the business, namely, Fred
Behn. The first winter they confined
themselves to logging on small scale
getting out logs and pulpwocd The
winters work proved very satisfac-
tory and when spring came they
sound that they would not be able to
handle their cut with a portable mill
as had been the original intention.
They then had to change their plans
and made preparations to build a per
manent mill to take care of the bust
ness. During the summer mill was

to 20 million feet of logs. The mill
is now running on double shift, be-
ginning Dec 1, and will continue if
everything goes right, until about
June l, turning out about $4,000 to
10000 feet of lumber every twenty
four hours. More than 100 men are
employed in and around the mill.
In addition to their own timber the
company will buy any amount OF logs;
of any kind, that farmers may have,
paying the highest cash market price
for them This enables the farmer to
turn his saw timber into ready cash
and at the same time helps him to
clear his land.
In addition to the saw mill proper,
the company has one of the best
planning mills and box factory plants
to be found anywhere for the manu-
facture of boxes, crates, grain doors,
etc., and large force of men are
kept busy making the above products
for which there is a ready sale.
The Wisconsin, Michigan Lbr. Co.,
already have the name of producing
the best quality of lumber and their
sales agent, T. w. Long, states that
they are enjoying a steadily increas-
ing demand for their products and
are shipping lumber and boxes as
far east as Baltimore, Md, and Water
vile, Mass, south to Dallas, Texas,
and west to Los Angeles, Calf,
They have also added a Retail de-
partment, from which every kind and
quality of lumber manufactured by
them is sold to the farmer, the home
builder and summer guests, and in
addition to their own products, every
thing manufactured in the building
line is handled and sold to rapidly
growing list of customers. This part
of the business while owned wholly
by the company is operated distinct
ly as a separate unit, in charge of
competent managers and helpers. A
crew of men and trucks are constant
ly employed in the delivery of these
materials and it goes to every part
of the county.
The Wisconsin, Michigan Lbr. Co.,
has been a very great factor in the
rapid upbuilding of Eagle River in
the past two years. In addition to the
many homes built by them for their
employees, many individuals who
have come here to work for them
have built homes for themselves. It's
coming was instrumental in the build
ing of the beautiful home of E. w.
Ellis and the improvement and beau
tifying of what was before barren
area on the river front. It was the
cause of the First National Bank
building, through which hundreds of
people were shown last summer and
pronounced it a masterpiece of ar
chitecture and finish equal to any
! thing in the largest cities, end which
financially is as sound as it's fOunda-
ton and so believed by it's patrons
who have showed it's resources up in

The boilers furnishing the steam
for this system are the Kewaunee
down draft type, manufactured by
the Kewaunee Boiler Co., of Kewau-
nee, Illinois. They are a double CRATE
type, the upper CRATE being water
CRATE composed Of plugged f1ues, over
which is spread the fire burning the
green coal. Below this is a lower
CRATE of the usual type carrying
fire which has it's source in the hot
Goals which drop from the upper
CRATE. The upper crate insures the
economic raising of the coal or other
fuel to it's kindling temperature. The
lower crate fire through the complete
burning of the coal and of the gases
usually found in the black smoke,
which in this case passes over the
lower fire, insures the most efficient
consumption of fuel. Additional to
this, these boilers eradicate entirely
the black smoke nuisance and pos
sess the superior advantage of burn
ing efficiently every grade of fuel,
from the poorest slack to the high
est grade of bituminous coal.
The building is also equipped with
the Hail pneumatic clock system
which was installed by the Time
Systems Company of Detroit, Mich.
The clock system consists of three
distinct parts, the master clock, the
secondary clocks and the pneumatic
pipe line: The master clock, located
in the office, furnishes the power,
keeps the time and operates the
bells. The secondary clocks receive
the impulse each miunte from the
master clock and advance in step
with it every minute. The pipe line
consists of tubing and iron pipes
and acts as the conductor, distribut-
ing the air each minute to the secOn
Diary clocks.
Fortunate, indeed, is a community
which has a school building of this
modern type-a building which adj
ministers to the physical as well as
the mental welfare of it's pupils
through the abundant supply of
space, heat, light and fresh air; a
building which through it's auditori-
UNI, gymnasium, showers and other
rooms, affords itself to the broader
community use that modern society
is everywhere beginning to demand.

ASTONISHING AGE FOR HORSE
Declared to Have Lived for
Flfty-one Years.

A horse owned by a United States
clergyman named Meyers is probably
the oldest of its kind, having reached
the astonishing age of fifty-one years.
Glover, as this remarkable beast is
called, has astonished the experts by
his feat In living for more than half
a century. 1t Is undoubtedly a worlds
record. The house surgeon at the
Royal Veterinary college in London
admitted that he had never heard of
a case to equal 1t. The oldest horse
l ever knew" he said, was a pony in
the Midlands which lived to be thirty
nine and which was at work until u
months before its death. Race horses
are usually past their prime after six
years, and hunters and working horses
after twelve years Of useful life" A
surprising sight was a black western
pony, over thirty years of age, which,
though still hale and hearty, had be-
gun to turn gray, and presented the
appearance of having passed through
snow storm. Another expert said
that he believed it was quite possible
for horses to live for half century
or more, but added that In his expert
ence the oldest creature was thirty
eight years Of age. How long 1t lived
after that he was unable to say.

years of his pastorate at st. Paul's
had been very happy, and if it should
be the will of the Lord and the good
Bishop, he would be very glad to be
returned. The report of the treasur-
er of benevolence showed $1,000 over
