Commenced Excavation
for New c. &N. W. Depot
BUILDING WILL BE OF BRICK
AND STUcCo-READY ABOUT
DECEMBER FIRST

Excavation for the basement of the
new c. & N. W. Ry., passenger depot
and baggage room was started last
week. by the Chicago firm of T. S.
Laeke Construction Co., with w. F.
Easter of Marshalltown Iowa, superin
tendent of construction.
The plans call for building 22xSO
on the east side of the main track.
about directly in front of the Hotel
Commercial. The steam heating plant
will be located in the basement and
on the ground floor. At the north end
of the building will be the baggage
room where baggage will be transfer
ed direct from the cars while trains
are taking water At the east end will
be the ladies and mems waiting rooms
with toilets and lavatories at the side
and the ticket office and agents room
will occupy the center.
The construction Is to be of frame
with brick veneer. as high as the win
dow stills and from there on stucco
finish will be used unless changes are
made in the plans. Inspection Of the
blue prints indicate that the arckitec
ture is of a pleasing design and ar
ranged in the modern depot style of
construction, and the depot will be
a decided credit and improvement to
Railroad street and all property there
on. Mr. Easter states that it will be
completed and ready for use by Dec
ember /.
The same firm also have the con
tract for building new freight house
that will stand on the ground now
occupied by Ewald Bros. warehouse
which with that of Jas. Morgan &
Sons and Chas. Hanke will be moved
across the tracks. 1t will be 22x48
and will greatly facilitate handling
of freight in or out of the station.
The dirt now being taken from the
basement Of the new depot is to be
used in filling up the rest of the depot
or park space with suitable platforms
for passengers use. Eventually, the
railroad company may build covered
walks or waiting sheds, but that is
not included in the present contracts.
However with a new passenger and
freight depots Of the kind shown in the
plans, Eagle River will get along very
nicely without them for awhile.

The Villas County News of last week
quoted an article from the Tomahawk
Leader in which that paper mentioned
turning down an advertising PROPOSE
ton recently rendered it by represen-
tatives of a "Buy-at-H Home" publicity
campaign, and gave number of rea-
sons for so doing. The Villas County
News took occasion to say that it had
also turned down the same PROPOSE
ton, and regretted the fact that all
newspapers were not equally obser
want of the ethics of high grade
journalism. The News comment was
very evidently intended to reflect upon
the Review as it happened that some
weeks before we had accepted a page
of advertising secured by Messrs.
Grossman and Langfeldt of the United
Publishing Company of Milwaukee,
and which is now running under a
three months contract.
When they first called at the Re
view office we understood them to say
that they had not been elsewhere in
Eagle River, although as far as that
is concerned it would have made no
difference to us. Other papers can con
Duct their business as they see fit
and we will do the same. 1t is a per-
fectly legitimate way of securing adj
vertising and many much more influen
tial papers than either the Leader or
News, frequently carry large advertis
ing contracts which have been secured
for the paper by outside speciality
advertising statesmen.
While debating on how to get in
touch with the men with whom we
had made the contract, to find wheth-
er or not, the Villas County News had
rejected the proposition before 1t got
to us, Mr.. Langfeldt came in and
denied ever being there or at the Of
flee of the Tomahawk Leader He inl-
mediately wrote letter to his part
ner enclosing the clipping with In
structions to mail his reply to us for
publication this week The reply is
as follows:
We will further say for the benefit
of the News and any others who may
be interested, that our share OF tie
Profits was on $3.50 basis instead of
1880.

Traffic Census Tomorrow
ALL CARS FROM OTHER STATES
TO BE COUNTED IN VISION
SIN FRIDAY, AUGUST 8

The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion for many years has been taking
various counts of traffic on highways
This has disclosed the fact that there
are tremendous numbers of cars from
other states in Wisconsin during the
summer season. Many guesses have
been made as to the actual number
of tourists in Wisconsin, but there
has been to date nothing upon which
to premise a real estimate.
To supply this lack the Wiscon
sin Highway Commission and the
counties and all others interested in
tourists traffic are going to make a
tremendous effort to actually count
the number of foreign cars in Wis
consin at the peak of the tourist sea
son.
The date set for this count is Fri
day, August 8, and the resources of
the State Highway Department and
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-08-02

THE County Highway Departments,
together with cooperating citizens,
will be thrown into tremendous eff
fort to find in fact how many. visiting
cars and people there are in Wiscon
sin on that given day.
Garages, boards of commerce, re
sorts, hotels, will be asked to help
as well as any other interested citi
zens. The state and license numbers
of the foreign cars will be taken on
sheets provided for the purpose by
the state Highway Commission. These
sheets will all be assembled at Madi
son and the cars checked off by Ii
cense numbers and the total by states
ascertained.
This is the first time that such a
count has been attempted by any
state, but the Commission feels that
it is we'll worth while, because taken
in connection with the traffic counts
AT so stations taken several times dur
ing the tourist season, and the seven
day count of foreign cars entering at
the q state trunk highway entrances
to Wisconsin, it will be possible to
figure out with almost mathematical
accuracy the number of cars visiting

The Eagle River Band is planning

llIilOcqda 5 Golf Tourney
GOLF TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD
IN MINOCQUA THE FORE PART
OF AUGUST

A golf tournament open to the pub
lie will be held on the links of the
Minocqua Heights Golf and Country
Club soon. after the first of August.
No definite announcement as to the
dates or the nature of the tournament
can be made until after the arrival
of Mr.. Lloyd Maxwell of Chicago,
President Of the Club. In conjunction
with the tournament will be held a
dinner and dance which will formally
open the club to its members and to
those interested in becoming members
Work on the Club House will be
entirely completed by the end of this
week. It is entirely equipped with hot
and cold running water showers and
electric lights The management is
prepared to care for large crowds on
the golf course and in the dining
room, and for the dances on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings, as
well as for special private dinners and
dances. Work on the new road to the
Club grounds have been lighted in
such way as to afford an easily &C
cessible entrance. A new swimming
pier, built on the Clubs sand beach,
has been equipped with diving board
second to none on the Lake. A large
crew of men has been at work daily
on the golf course Those who have
played over the course pronounce it
to be in surprisingly fine condition.
The Clubs portable cottages, built
for temporary use this summer will
be filled to capacity during the month
of August. Because of delays in work
on the cottages all the Club members
cannot be accommodated in the cot
tages this year. Work will begin early
this fall on the cottages for next
year. It is expected that the Club
will be able to accommodate from
$50 to 200 guests next summer. Each
cottage will be equipped with com
plete bath, electric lights, and a fire
place. Lots along the lake front are
now being sold by Mr.. .. T.. Helsser,
Directing Manager of the Club, to
those members who desire to own
their own cottages.
1t has been only with great diff
Guilty that the Club has been able to
secure sufficient caddies to accommo
date the members in time past. With
the increased play during August it
is believed that it will be necessary to
import several boys from Chicago and
have them camp on the Club grounds,
unless more boys from the vicinity of
Minocqua avail themselves of this
splendid opportunity to earn good
money in pleasant -Minocqua
Tines.

FORGOTTEN THEIR COURTESY
Complaint has been made to this
office that some Of the tourist camp
ing parties at the free camp ground
west of town have forgotten their
courtesy obligations due others to the
extent of crossing the river and strip
ping the bark from birch trees for
souvenir purposes. These people
would no doubt object strenuously if
similar liberties were taken on their
property at home and we do not blame
any one for complaining, who suffers
damage caused from the careless or
wilful trespass of strangers travelling
through this or any other country.
