VERY QUIET MEETING
State Highway Commission
Finds Counties to be in
Accord With Policies.

AT the meeting held at Eagle
River last Friday evening by the
state highways commission to give
counties the opportunity to add to
their trunk highway mileage,
very few people attended. Dele
cations from Pelican, Gagen, Mon
leo, Three Lakes, Phelps and State
Line met with Eagle River in an
effort to have Highway Al contin-
ued north from Amigo to the Wis
consin-Michigan state line near
State Line.
1t was shown the commission
that by the placing of this marked
route in operation it would be the
means Of giving easy routings,
and direct routings, to northern
points. 1t would do away, with
detours east and west from Peli-
can Lake in order to reach the
northern part of the lake region
and connect with Michigan trunk
lines direct, shortening the dis
tance many miles. It would not
mean the rebuilding of any high
way, only the re-marking of Coun-
ty Trunk &c" and disseminating
80 at Three Lakes north.
A big delegation from Phelps
asked that 63 be continued from
where it ends west of Eagle River,
through this village to point
four miles north of Eagle River
to county trunk "P", and using
that highway thru the village of
Phelps to Smoky lake where it
would connect with Michigan s
new highway to Iron River. The
distance would add something ov-
er twenty miles to the state sys-
TEN. 1t is feasible proposition,
and would open up shortcut to
Michigon points on the east and
northeast.
From Eagle River the commits
sion went to Rhinelander holding
meeting in that city Saturday
afternoon. Rhinelander asked for
the Strengthening of highway ID
FROM Crandon thru Gagen to that
city.
Amigo held a meeting Monday
night and that city is with Villas
county and that portion of Onei-
da county in asking that Highway
At be opened up from Amigo di-
rect north to the Michigan state
line through Pelican, Monico and
the other villages on this route.
There is no question but that this
is a direct route and one that will
carry the bulk of the up state
traffic.

A WEEK OF COLD SNAP
Entire Northern Section is
Freed From Cold Wave
and Escaped Frosts.

A sudden drop in temperature
the first part of last week gave
an impression of winter to the
tourist. To the traveller who had
been tenting along the highways
and on the shores of lakes, it gave
a strong hint of "trekking" it
home where warm home afforded
comfort.
With a temperature around Az
all over the lake region, and close
to that in Milwaukee and Chicago,
traffic in summer activities came
to a decided halt for three or four
days. When the weather bureaus
predicted more of the cold wave,
those who had crops almost ready
for harvest were in a quandary.
Many potato fields were not ad-
vanced far enough but that frost
or a sudden freeze would ruin
their summers labors. Vegetables
would have suffered likewise and
been ruined.
So far as can be learned there
were no damaging frosts in this
section. Harvesting is now being
carried on as fast as possible. Pre-
dictions of the weather bureau
give the assurance OF balmy
weather during the month of Sep
TENDER.

SCHOOL TO OPEN LATE
New High School Building
Expected to be Ready by
September 18th.

In the following communication
to the News, Prof. E. w. Kracht
of the Eagle River schools, ex-
plains why the high school will
not open until about September
18th. An effort is being made to
rush the building to completion
in order to- not delay school many
weeks. He says:
The Eagle River High School
will not open this fall until the
new building is finished. 1t is ex-
pected now that the new High
will be completed far enough so
that school can commence about
Sept. 18th. Every effort will be
made to have it ready by that
time. Another notice will be
published in the local papers as
soon as we know definitely just
when it will open.
We may state in this connection
that we will have splendid school,
splendidly equipped and large
enough to- accommodate everybody.
We should like to encourage new
pupils to enter and especially those
from the country districts who
have completed the country schools
last spring Anyone desiring in
formation in regard to the school
or in regard to securing places to
get room and board may write or
see personally the undersigned and
we shall be glad to do all we can
for them.
We might also suggest that if
anyone In Eagle River who would
like to board and room high
school pupil this winter would
please notify the undersigned. It
will help us to cooperate in this
matter. Last year number of
pupils were forced to go elsewhere
becaues they could not find a
place to stay. We hope the people
of Eagle River will do all they
can in the way Of opening their
homes to these young people so
that all may be accommodated.
