PETERSON MAY
GET POSITION
AS Process Server Held by
Hannah Who is Now Under
Sheriff

Now that Frederick Gowen Of
Highland Park, is sheriff of Middle
sex county and William S. Hannah
of Milltown has been promoted from
process server to deputy sheriff, the
question of who is to take Hannah's
place has arisen.
1t is generally reported that Ed
ward j. Peterson of this city, the
former assemblyman who sought the
position of deputy sheriff, has been
offered the job of process server.
This position has been paying $1,80O
a year and its being offered to the
local man is looked upon as "sooth-
ing syrup" to somewhat placate
his feelings in "being left in the
cold" when the deputy sheriff was
selected.
When questioned today as to
whether he would accept such po-
sition, Peterson said he had not yet
had it offered to him. He would not
say that he would accept and did not
seem to consider it an unusually
tempting morsel. Nevertheless it is
reported he will look favorably up
on the offer and accept.

lieve in the principle OF equality of
assessments, but consider that it
should be state wide and not merely
county wide, and in the second place
we believe that such equalization
should embrace not only manufac-
turing interests but all classes of
property IN the state.
I'VE feel that in the past year
your body has acted fairly and i'm
partially in all tax matters and has
worked to the end that equalization
might prevail throughout the coun-
ty.
"Should you, however, feel that
unavoidable inequalities do exist as
a result of the actual appraisals be-
ing carried out by many local as
SCISSORS throughout the county, We
urge, that in any appraisal program
the following principles must neces-
sarily be adhered to, in order to Sc
cure a fair and impartial appraisal.
THE appraisal should be state
wide, so that the burden of state
taxes be equally distributed.
"If a state wide appraisal is not
feasible the appraisal should in
clude the whole of Middlesex coun-
ty and upon a basis of valuations
for assessment purposes fairly COM
parable in all respects TO ether
counties.
"The party making the appraisal
should be disinterested and of ma
tion wide reputation, all the eX-
penses being borne by the state or
county.
"The complete appraisal should
include New Brunswick and be cal
culated on a uniform schedule
throughout the state or county
"All buildings should be included
in the appraisal so as to bring about
true equalization.

---.------
Return of Former Grown.
Prince Not Considered by
Council of Ambassadors

LONDON, Nov. IA (By The Assoc
ciated Press s)-France Is bringing
strong pressure to bear on Great
Britain. looking to joint action for
the expulsion of the former crown
prince from Germany.
For the moment the British gov
ernment believes it useless to try ~
undo the accomplished fact, but nd
decision regarding a final policy will
be announced until the cabinet.
which is meeting today. has care
fully examined the whole subject in
the light of Premier Poincare's lat-
est overtures.
Meanwhile the government has
received no official intimation that
| the former kaiser intends to dupIi-
/ cate the sensational dash of his -h9lr.
| British officials are confident tf7at
/ Holland will observe her pledge to
| act as iailer for the former war lord
until time or fate settles his Destiny
France also is urging Great Brit
tain to send a strong rejoinder 10
Germany regarding Chancellor Stress
emann's negative reply to the Allied
request for greater protection and
latitude of action for the Interallied
Military Control Commission. France
favors energetic sanction being taken
against Germany il Berlin refuses to
give up the ex-crown prince or de.
clines to extend the safeguards and
authority requested for the control
commission.
In the British view the seizure of
Hamburg or other German ports IS
not to be ruled out from possible
action by France if Germany refuses
to capitulate, but officials here de-
clare England will decline to support
any such drastic measures.
There appears clearly defined ef
fort on the part of Premier Poincare
to establish greater unity of qctien
between France and England 50 as
to impress the Berlin cabinet and
discourage the ex-kaiser from at
tempting to regain his liberty. The
views of the British cabinet on these
and other points raised by the Paris
government are expected to be COM
munieated to the Council of Ambas-
sadors in Paris this afternoon.

Visiting Old Home Town.

After an absence of fifteen years
the arrival last Saturday in Eagle
River of James Langill showed
him such varied changes that the
old town was really strange
place, except for the old-time
friends he found in the village.
Fifteen years ago Mr.. Langill, one
time mill man in this place, left
for British Columbia, and since
that period has been living IN
Canadian sections. Eagle River
when he left was a rambling ex-
lumber village with very few
farms in the county and mostly
oil woods or cut-over lands with
old dead "rampikes" dotting the
lakes and country in every direc-
ton. He owned a sawmill just
above Edw. Lacau's home on River
street, the remains of which can
still be seen. After weeks visit
Mr.. Langill will leave for other
spots in the state where he form
erly resided.

to the associations views on con-
servation and the need for pre-
serving the natural resources and
beauties of the state.
Resolved futher, that every en-
ergy be exerted towards advis-
ing the public of the extraordin-
airy beauty of Wisconsin during
the late summer and fall months
and that the advantages of Wis

provement of such a highway
marking.

whereby the duplicate names OF
lakes and streams now in use and
now leading to needless confusion
may be eliminated; and the sub
sidiary to this effort the assocla-
ton bring such pressure as may
be consistent upon the proper
state officers to induce them tc
complete the marking of lakes
and streams at the earliest pos.
sible opportunity.

efficient and self sacrificing work
of the associations officers dur.
ing the past year is commended
and that the association, by a rls.

Lives at Flamheau.

Among the visitors in Wausau
the past week was Thos. L. Ger
maine of Lac du Flambeau. Mr..
ST. German is of Indian descent.
He is young man of education,
having been student at the Car
lysle Indian school and is gradu-
ate of Yale college. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar,
and is at present looking after
certain land rights pertaining to
the Chippewa tribe of Indians. 1t
was on these matters that he
made this his first trip to Wausau.
Big St. Germaine lake was named
after his ancestors. When he was
going to- school and especially dur
ing his college life, he was one of
the star players in football. He
feels that he must have exercise
even now, and just before the
season begins, he gets himself in
shape in various ways, but prin-
cipally in running and jumping
the rope. He is at present play
ing with the football team at
Ironwood, going there whenever
there is a big game scheduled. Mr.
st. German is not only man of
magnificent proportions, but looks
as if he might be able to finish up
a football game in short order by
simply crowding the opposition off
the field.-Wausau Pilot.

LOST LIFE in RESORT
Burning of Blaisdell's High
Lake Resort Result in a
Death and Injury.

Starting from an overturned
lamp, it is claimed the death of
Viola McMann of Merrill resulted
from the burning of the main
lodge and one cottage at Blais-
delPs High Lake resort last Mon
day evening about ten o'clock. A
companion of Miss McMann was
also badly burned before being
rescued.
1t is said from meagre reports
today that the fire, starting in
the main lodge after the occu-
pants had retired for the night,
was under such Roadway that be-
fore the McMann girl and her
companion Rosetta Veronek, both
Of Merrill, could flee from the
building, all avenues of escape had
been cut off. Miss Veronek man
aged to jump from a second story
window and was injured and burn
ed quite badly. The McMann girl,
as far as can be learned, was over
come by smoke and burned to
death.
Besides the main lodge, a cot
tage situated very close and upon
hill, was also destroyed. Blais-
dells resort is one of the old re-
sorts in that section Of the Boul-
der Junction territory.

PUT OUT FOREST FIRES
Yesterdays Rain Saved Nor
thern Wisconsin From
Huge Damage by Forest
Fires.

Yesterdays rainfall stopped the
forest fires in this section of Nor
thern Wisconsin, becoming day af-
ter day more critical to farm and
summer home, thereby saving
many thousands of dollars of tim
bered lands. For the past two weeks
smoke has been SO heavy that in
many places travel was held UP
especially during night and morn
ing when it had settled over the
highway in some low spot.
For the past four weeks, or ex-
actly twenty-eight days there has
beein no rain in Villas county.
With the fall of foliage the woods
became a fire-trap and many acres
of valuable timber were destroyed
by the carelessly dropping of a
match or lighted cigarette. Then
again many of the fires were
started by careless people who, in
clearing their farms started a fire
that in few minutes escaped all
control. The nearest fires to Eagle
River were those east of town, in
the Anvil lake region, in the Ken
tuck region and west of Sucker
lake on the Conover road.
For the past two weeks the big
marsh a mile north of Three
Lakes has been burning, but was
not dangerous to any outside tim
Der or farms. So far as can be
learned there were no buildings or
residences destroyed by forest fires
near here, although reports were
numerous.
1t has been many years since
this section has seen such a dry
fall. Everything dried up and was
but awaiting a spark to set it go
ing.
