AT MAYORS COURT MONDAY
Fight Participant Swings Time Clock
With Telling Effect.

At the Monday morning session OF
police court several offenders charged
with several misdemeanors appeared
before Mayor McLendon and plead
guilty to various charges.

degree Of attention was a fight that
was staged Saturday night near the
mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Co,
between Gene Stevens and Bob Peak
According to witnesses Peak grabbed
Stevens in the collar and slapped his
face; whereas, Gene, who is night
Waterman for the oil mill, swung his
heavy time-clock with telling effect
and kayoed Peak. The case against
Stevens was dismissed and Peak was
fined.
Two negroes were arraigned be-
fore the court for driving cars with
mufflers open They were both SEN
fenced to light fines by the mayor
and reprimanded Several complaints
have come in lately about cars Great
ing unnecessary noises, and it must
stop, said the mayor.

Eagle River Gets Lot
Publicity from Report
BUSIEST LITTLE TOWN IN THE
NORTH GETS RAP FROM
UNITED PRESS

That Eagle River needs a large
and modern new hotel, every citizen
of the town is ready to conecde. That
it is in any such dire straits as the
following article published last week
in the Superior Telegram and Ash
land Press, would indicate, no one
admits. In fact, the statement as re-
CARDS Accommodations is about as cor
rect as the name of the judge credit
ed to the 18th Circuit. While Judge
Reid, visiting lawyers, jurymen and
witnesses may not find all the COM
orts of home, or the Drake hotel in
Chicago, when attending winter terms
of court here, still no one ever has to
sleep out doors unless it is from de-
sire and even then, it is rare to, find
dead bodies strung along the streets
or in snow drifts the next morning.

Conservation Preserves
Game in PopulOus Area
DEER AND RUFFLED GROUSE
SEEN OCCASIONALLY EVEN
NEAR BOSTON

s'About this time" as the old farm
ers' almanacs used to say, frequent
ly occurring paragraph in New Eng
land country newspapers reads some
what as follows:
"The annual game supper was held
last night. There was a large attend
ance and the hunters provided boun
teous repast."
Although the wild turkey which set
the style for Thanksgiving dinners
on the occasion of the Pilgrims first
Thanksgiving day three hundred
years ago has disappeared from New
England woods, three centuries OF
hunting with firearms has far from
exterminated the wild life from the
forests in this section. Even in the
immediate vicinity of Boston, deer
and ruffled grouse are seen occasion
ally, and squirrels, hare and foxes are
regular inhabitants of suburban wood
land. The pheasant, not a native game
bird but introduced some years ago,
has flourished in Massachusetts and
southern New Hampshire. Geese and
an abundance of waterfowl pause on
New England lakes and streams in
their migrations.
Only in Maine does the moose per-
sist, but bears, common in that state,
are still found also in the remote sec
tions of the mountain country in New
HAMPSHIRE, Vermont and western
Massachusetts. Wildcats are shot or
trapped in considerable numbers ev.
cry season. In the furbearing cate
CORY raccoons, skunks and muskrats
are still plentiful, and in the wilder
districts mink and otter are not in
frequently found. The wolves are
gone; 1t is only rarely that a phan-
Their is reported and then with doubt
full authenticity, and the manipulating
beavers now are few.
That the rapidly increasing number
of hunters has not more seriously
depleted the supply of game in New
England is due largely to conserva-
ton measures. For many years all
the states in this section have enforc
ed as strictly as possible the closed
season provisions of the game laws,
and in recent open seasons the bag
limits on various classes of game
birds and animals have been made
increasingly smaller. Licenses also
are required of all hunters, and in the
case of non-residents high fees are
demanded

Three Lakes Fish and
|. Game Association Met
N1MRoDs OF NEIGHBoRING TOWN
HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET
AT THE BADGER

Saturday evening, Jan. 18th, the
Three Lakes Fish ana Game Protec
tive Association held their annual bar
quet and business meeting at the hotel
Badger in that village. About fifty
members were present and enjoyed a
spread, prepared by host H. j. Pulls
being second to none and for which
the Badger has acquired reputation
throughout this northern section.
After this most enjoyable repast the
regular meeting was called to order
by president f. c. Williams who gave
very interesting talk on the past
accomplishments of the organization
and their future expectations. Presi
dent Williams was followed by D. E
Lamon, who represented the Three
Lakes Club at the state meeting held
at Madison last July. Mr.. Lamon'
talk was both instructive and enter
tanning and showed he has at hear
the welfare of his section. Upon thu
suggestion of president Williams con
servatiOn warden FL. J. OberholtZe,
addressed the meeting calling thei,
tention to the necessity of edpcat
ing the public in general to conserv
ing our natural wild life. Conserva
ton warden w. P. Clawson spoke
along the same lines and related
some very interesting experiences
his in this same connection. G.. A
Griswold and Leo Bishop expressed
themselves, in no uncertain lapguag
as being conservationists and assert
their willingness to assist in ever.
manner possible in the enforcement OF
our fish and game laws.
A resolution was passed, to be pre-
sented to the Conservation Commits
sion and the Legislature now in ses
sion, asking that if there be a closed
season placed on deer, when the law
does open that it be Zone Buck" Law
Another resolution was passed com
mending w b. Barber of the Con
servation Commission for his untiring
efforts in behalf of northern Wiscon
sins needs of protection.
Regular dates for meetings of the
association were adopted, the meet
ings to be held on the second Satur
days in April, July, October and Janu
airy Of each year. D. E. Lamor was
elected president of the association
for the ensuing year, F. G. Williams
Vice president and Harry Olkowski
secretary and treasurer.
The Three Lakes association is one
of the liveliest in this section of the
state and does credit to Our neigh.
boring village as composed OF citizens
erdeavoring to work for the best in
terests of the community at large
Eagle River might well follow l,-r ex-
ample as we have no organization OF
this kind and are possessed of every
variety of fish and game hog.

Guaranteed Seed Spells
Crop Success in Yields
COMMISSIONER NoRGoRD WARNS
DANGER OF USING UNcERTI-
FLED SEED

Seed dealers are taking more pre-
cautions in placing on the market only
those seeds which fully meet the stand
ards adopted by the state department
of agriculture, according to state
ment made by G. P. Norgord, COM
missioner of agriculture.
Out of 28,766 samples tested dur
ing the past eight years, only 1913 have
been condemned by the department.
Seeds of poor quality, low vitality and
those containing noxious weeds are
not allowed to be sold on the Wiscon-
sin market.
"Noxious weeds are a distinct men
ace to the prosperity of Wisconsin, .
declares Mr.. Norgord. For years they
have been neglected until they have
taken possession of many farms and
spread until they threaten to overrun
the state unless drastic measures are
taken to prevent their spread. The
problem Of the department is one of
education. Neglect on the part Of the
farmers has been due to lack Ofsappre
citation of the seriousness OF the prob
lem and also of the best methods of
control.
According to Mr.. Norgord, farmers
are saved thousands of dollars annual
ly through the inspection of CONNER
cial seeds and fertilizers by the de-
partment of agriculture. Chemistry is
the only means of determining the val
ue of seeds and fertilizers. Mr.. Nor
cord points out that by making 1t
necessary for the manufacturer or
dealer to license these products before
placing them on the market and by
checking up by inspectors, the state
protects the farmer against fraud and
deception Every bag must be lebeled
as to it's contents.

WON BOTH GAMES

Eagle High added two more victor
les to it's basketball history last Fri
day night when the Freshmen Girl
team defeated the Three Lakes Girl
team, IA to 10, and the High School
team ran away from the Elcho team
by the enormous score of IA to 2. In
spite of the overwhelming odds
against them the Elcho lads kept up
their fighting spirit and played a good
game until the final whistle. The
girls game was scrappy one with
neither side sure of victory until it
was all over.

AS to the falling off in population
in winter time, it might be well to
inform the world that Eagle River
contains more than one thousand peo-
pie who manage to exist here for
twelve months in the year. In addi-
ton to more than thirty business
places that run the year round. en-
ploying quite a number of clerks and
other employees, there are three diff
ferent sawmills that are quite active
all winter, giving steady employment
to probably 200 men without counting
their camp crews. One mill alone is
working twenty-four hours with 2
crews and it's semi-monthly payroll
runs around $6000.00
Comparing Eagle River with Lon
don, New York or Chicago, it may be
correct to refer to it as a postage
stamp town, measured by places OF
it's size, it will compare favorably
with any without hotel facilities that
include bath in every room. With one
of that kind, which we feel safe in
assuring the United Press correspon-
dent, is only short distance away
Eagle River will take place on the
map as place where as many car
stay as we wish, and in the mean
time, no one is obliged to bring theil
blankets along with them to be able
to stop in Eagle River over night.
