Traditions and Courtesy of the Senate
Senatorial courtesy and the tradi
tions OF the senate have been having
a hard read for a number OF years.
Under the old traditions" a senator !
who made a speech during his first
session was apt to be regarded as
something OF a bounder. Nowadays
he is looked upon as a dead one
if he suppresses his individuality. and /
does not make a speech early in his ]
senatorial career. Most of the new /
senators recently sworn in have par
in the routine affairs of the 4
senate. None OF them feel called upon |
to take back seats" The senate
remains tied. however. to the tradi-
ton that recognizes seniority" in

went to Washington he was placed
at the foot OF Republican member

length of service eventually brought
him to second place on the inter

majority of Republicans did not want
him to have. Tradition gave Senator

COMMUNITY SPIRIT
AT BLACK OAK

A gathering of the kind that is a
great factor in establishing and fur
thering friendly community relations
was one held at the Geo. st. Clair re
sort on Sunday evening, August 9Th
The Black Oak colony of resort
guests and summer residents on the
lake regularly hold these affairs at
st. Glars and have proved very sue
cessful in every way and has tended
to create a feeling of harmony and
goodwill among those participating
that is well worth the effort
Sunday the Eagle River band went
up for the purpose of giving an even
ing concert and good delegation of
Eagle River people accompanied and
were we'll repaid for the time spent.
At 900 a cafeteria lunch was served
on the grounds which are well adapt
ed for such uses and at 1880 the band
concert began. After several selec-
lions the program was varied and en-
livened by program given by the
Black Oak people consisting of sing
ing, music, recitations, occupying
some little time after which number
of songs were sung community fash
ion led by Rev. Davies, and the pro-
gram closed with music by the band.
Most of the Black Oak entertainers
were strangers to us so that we can
not mention them by name, but we
can say that they are artists in their
different lines and contributed large
ly to the success of the occasion.
The band boys received liberal
donation for their time and trouble
taken in going up and were so well
received that they will play another
concert there On Sunday, August 26th
Mr. and Mrs. ST. Clair are hosts of
the kind that enjoy making their
guests feel at home and they have a
place well adapted for large outdoor
gatherings. A unique feature and one
that received much comment was the
large bonfire kept burning near the
outdoor stage with several small ones
located on different parts of the
grounds where anyone who wished
could roast weiners and eat as much
and as often as they want to.

Will Establish Camping
Sites on State Lands
CAMPING cENTERS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE is URGED FOR
THE TOURISTS

Camp sites for tourists are to be
established by the state conservation
commission on state lands in North
ern Wisconsin, Elmer S. Hall, conser
walton commissioner announced today
A demand for adequate camping
facilities, more insisteEt with the
great increase in tourist traffic, has
led the conservation commission to
make plans for definitely marked and
thoroughly equipped camp sites. Mr.
Hall said.
It is his plan to build up Is or 20
camping centers with running water
toilet facilities. camp fire equipment
and other conyeniences seldom to be
found by tourists in their jaunts
across the country.
These sites, according to Mr.. Hall.
can be located on state land bordering
lakes, so that the tourists can swim
and fish, enjoying the best that Wis
consin has to offer. Game and fire
wardens would inspect the sites and
keep them in order for the travellers.
Thousands of tourists each season
pass through the great tracts of state
lands in the northern counties, Mr..
Hall said. They often need camp sites
that have been lacking in the past. 1t
is our intention to meet this need
adequately, and within short time.
Mr. Hall expressedhimself as Oppos
ed to the leasing system now in effect
by which individuals are allowed to
acquire large tracts of state lands
bordering lakes. Some persons ac-
quainted with the workings of the
state law have acquired frontage of
500 feet on several of the. best lakes
located on state lands for nominal
rentals, according to the conservation
commissioner.
BY this means they are shutting
the lakes out from the public, he de-
clared. Mr.. Hall recommended ter
mination Of the lease system and the
issuance of short time permits for
small amounts Of lake frontage to be
used by individuals. Under the pres
ent system it costs more to look after
the state interests on leased land than
is obtained from the leases, he de-
clared

NniteO States Alour1s 79fa0 Chief

The past week has been tnged with sadness for all
American citizens in thinking Of their dead president and
the journey of his remains the continent accopan
led by his stricken wife and members of the presidential
party returning from the Alaskan trip that ended
fortunately in San Francisco.
AS faj national affairs are concerned there is
alarm, tn being that with President Coolidge to
direct tn former policies will be closely carried
out. This My shown by the fact that the stock
and invest arkets in large cities hardly fuctuated
when the III Mr. Hardngs death was announced.
It the community feeling of sorrow and loss of
friend that prevails most strongly, with deep sym
pathy for the wife who has been under intense strain
during the past days and longer period than most people
have to bef before the final ceremonies and
opportunity afforded relax the self imposed tention
well understood by everyone who has had the heart
strings wrenched by death in their home.
At 100 p. M Friday, the hour set for the burial in
Marion Ohio every and city will observe and pay
respectful honor to his memory and everyone who
will express their regrets by their presence wherever
such services may be held.

REASON FOR MORE GOOD ROADS

REASON FOR MORE GOOD ROADS
Friday, August 3rd was devoted by
the Wisconsin State Highway Com
mission to taking a count of the for
eign cars travelling in the state that
day on the main trunk highways. In
Eagle River the census was taken
from the Morgan store corner of all
cars passing on Highway 3d. The fol-
lowing is the number listed from each
state, no account being kept of the
cars with Wisconsin license plates:
Illinois 1853; Missouri 35; Michigan
20; Indiana IA; Minnesota IL; Iowa 9
Ohio 8; Tennessee z; California 70;
Arkansas / !; Florida 1; Total 377.
The entire total of cars registered
that day is not expected to be accur-
ately known before Sept LIST. That it
will represent a number wholly unrea
LIKED is shown by the number passing
through Eagle River in one day. In
Illinois leading with 1894 from that
state The Highway Commission fig
uring from the basis of the Madison
tally, estimates that allowing an ex-
penditure of $40 per day for every
foreign car travelling in Wisconsin
that daily revenue of at least $500,
900 is derived by Wisconsin as a re
suit of outside tourists and judging
from the past, the amount of bust
ness from that source will be much
larger each year. This is about as,
good an argument for good roads and
more of them as could be wanted by
the most vehement opponent of the
Wisconsin Highway program. Taxes
paid by any Wisconsin taxpayer for
the building and maintenance of good
highways is not money lost.
