expended for improvements that will
tend to raise the value of all property
and in fact, taxes will not be higher in
Eagle River than they are in any
place where the Increase in popula-

better places to live in and which in

FARMERS INSTITUTES
The Editor of The Review
Eagle River, Wisconsin,

Eagle River, Wisconsin,
Dear Mr.. Editor: AS some of the
counties are applying early for the
lions share of the Institutes for next
winter, it is going to jeopardize the
chances for Institutes in localities
which apply late. It is the desire of
the Department Of Farmers Institutes
to make as equitable distribution of
the Institutes as possible and this can
be done if those communities which
think it desirable to hold Epsaisut
will write the Department soon.
| certainly will greatly appreciate
any favor which your paper may show
us in getting this matter to the at
tention of your readers.
Yours very truly,
e. L. LUTHER,
Superintendent

School Notes

The Junior Prom which was held in
the High school gym Friday night was
a great success. The hall was decorat
ed in purple and white and gold and
white. Music was furnished by Favel
orchestra of Wisconsin Rapids, and
they surely knew how to play "jazz"
About eleven o'clock confetti and
streamers were thrown. Here's where
the spectators had advantages over
the dancers. An excellent supper was
served about midnight by the Parent
Teachers Association. Dancing was re
sumed until two o'clock. Everyone re
ported an excellent time and compli-
mented the Juniors upon their work.
The Seniors also wish to thank the
Juniors for the wonderful time they
had.

NEW ENGLAND EXCHANGES
POWER WITH NEW YORK

Another step forward in electric
power development was taken Jan.
uary IA, when an exchange Of
power between New York State
and New England was accomplish
ed by the opening Of an electric
transmission line carrying 114,000
volts from Syracuse, N. Y, to Bos.
ton. Through mutual arrangement
between New York State power
companies and those Of New Eng
laid such exchange OF current may
easily be obtained whenever pro.
ductivity OF either il curtailed.
High water in the Hudson river
near Glens Falls, N. Y, would
make it possible to supply power at
low cost to New England points
when the water there is not suf-
ficient. While when electric power
production is excessive In New
England it can now be transmitted
to points in New York State where
production 70 below consumption.

ELECTRIC FAN HELPS
SMALL-SlZE COAL BURN

Fuel experts for several years
past have been preaching the use
Of smaller sizes Of anthracite coal
such as pea and buckwheat, for
household use. They state that
these three sizes of coal have
nearly the same amount Of heat
producing units per ton as the
larger sizes and point out that
they are materially lower in price.
Some persons find that the
smaller coal burns admirably in
their furnaces except on occasional
heavy damp days. Then a fur
mace stocked with small sized coal
simply will not burn brightly
enough to produce the desired heat.
On such days an electric fan will
come to the rescue. Open the ash
pit door, set the electric fan direct
ly in front Of it. Then connect
it to one Of the convenience outlets
in the cellar and turn on the fan.
With the added draft provided by
the fans the small.sized coal will
burn just as If the weather condi-
tons were normal.

Whitney Grilled by
Senator's; His Books
Are Ordered Examined

The Senate oil investigators de-
cided today to send expert ac-
countants to New York to examine
the books of Harry Payne Whitney,
multi.millionaire turfman and bust
ness associate of Harry F. Sinclair.
This decision was reached by the
committee after secret hearing
accorded Whitney this morning be-
mind the locked doors Of the COM
mittee room.
The examination of Whitney, who
has been Sinclair's partner in many
deals, was short and said to have
been sharp. 1t lasted less than half
an hour. He was accompanied by
his attorney, Frank L. Croker, and
after being excused they conferred
with Senator Davis Elkins Rep.)
OF West Virginia, who admitted to,
day having bought and sold some
thousands Of shares of Sinclair oil
stock.
Whitney, obviously nervous, de-
clined to talk.
Following the examination of the
millionaire sportsman, and deciding
to examine his books, the commit
tee adjourned with no date set
for another session.
Members of the committee said,
however, that Senator Ellxins prob
ably would be called before the
committee at an open hearing
within a few days as a result Of
the new revelations.
In the short session the committee
decided that hereafter the special
counsel, Owen j. Roberts and Atlee
Pomerene, should take the lead in
all future investigation into the Oil
scandal, particularly as a number Of
fine legal questions have been
raised.
The counsel were instructed to de-
termine whether immunity should
be granted to any witnesses as q
reward for freedom from prosecu-
ton.
The committee adjourned subject
to call Of Senator Lenroot R.) Of
Wisconsin, chairman, but it was
intended that another meeting would
be held this week if certain new
leads on which the committee is
working are unearthed.
1t may be possible that Sinclair
and e. B. Mclean will be called
before Monday.
Reports also persisted today before
the adjournment that the committee
would call r. b. Mclean, newspaper
publisher. to the stand. He has
been under subpoena since last
week, and his attorney has been in
conference with members Of the
committee.
While official confirmation was
lacking, 1t was reported that a sub
poena would be issued Immediately
for Sinclair, who was scheduled to
arrive in New York today from Eu-
rope.
The committee was divided as to
the procedure to follow regarding
the oil magnate.
Certain members wanted him call
ed to Washington at once, stating
that they wanted to examine him
before any pressure was brought
to bear"
1t was learned, however, that
Harry Sinclair's office in New
York has been instructed to have
the oil magnate telephone Lenroot
rs soon as the oil magnate steps
off the boat from Europe.
Would Wait for Walsh.
Other members held that Sinclair
should not be questioned until SEN
