Jonas Radcliffe, a well known
and esteemed resident of Eagle
River, is a candidate for district

from one of the oldest and most
respected families of upper Wis
consin. He worked his way
through college and is one of the
common people. His father, a for
mer sheriff of Villas county, was
killed by an assassin while in the
faithful performance of his duty.
In every way Mr.. Radcliffe is quail

Year 1816Had No Summer
Brought Ice Snow and Frost Every Month

Erratic weather conditions pre-
valling this season recall, in mea-
sure, the historic year without a
summer. For more than a cen
tury the record of 1916 has been
unequaled.
From the pages Of an old diary
begun in 1910, and now the pro
perty of B. E. Walters of Reeds
burg, is taken the unbeatable
weather report. The record from
1910 to 1910, and so far as official
records go back it's entries are GER
titled by those of the United
States weather bureau.
The month Of January, 1916, was
so mild that throughout the nor
thern part Of the United States
people allowed the fires to- 90 out
and used fuel only for cooking.
There were but few cold days all
through this month, warm spring
like weather prevailing the great
er portion of the time. February
and March were also warm,
though the former was colder
than January. March came in
like the proverbial lion and made
It's exit like a spring sheep. April
came in warm and balmy with a
tinge Of spring in the air, but as
the days grew longer the air be-
came colder and by the first Of
May the temperature was much
like that of winter. Snow and ice
prevailed throughout the latter
part of the month and buds were
frozen. Ice half an inch thick
coated ponds and streams, corn
was frozen in the ground and
fields we're planted again and
again until farmers gave up be-
cause Of the lateness of the sea-
son.
By the end of May trees in this
latitude are usually in full leaf
and flowers and birds are plenti-
full. When the end of May came
in 1916 however, everything green
had been killed throughout the
northern portions of the United
States.
June was the coolest month of
roses ever experienced in America.
Ice and frosts were as common as
buttercups in ordinary years. Snow
10 inches deep fell in Vermont, a
three inch fall occurred in New
York and a seven inch fall was re-
ported in Maine. There were only
few moderately warm days, and
everyone waited in vain for warm

STREET DECORATIONS
Seven Business Blocks in Viii
lage to Have Permanent
Standards Placed for Dec
Grating.

The placing of the metal sockets
for the new street decorations
which business men on seven
blocks have purchased, will be
placed at spaced distances in the
curbing by members of the Ameri-
can Legion beginning this week.
This street decorative scheme
consists of a metal socket Install

Never Enough of Nature.

Our village life would stagnate
If it were not for the unexplored
forests and meadows which sur
round it. We need the tonic of
wildness- to wade sometimes in
marshes where the bittern and the
meadow-hen Turk and hear the
booming of the snipe; to smell the
whispering sedge where only some
wilder and more solitary fowl
builds her nest and the mink
crawls with it's belly close to the
ground. At the same time that
we are earnest to explore and
learn all things, we require that
all be mysterious and unexplorable;
that land and sea be infinitely
wild, unsurveyed, and unfathomed
by us because unfathomable. We
can never have enough of nature
We must be refreshed by the sight
of inexhaustible vigor, vast and ii.
tanlc features, the sea coast with
its wrecks, the wilderness with its
living and its decaying trees, the
thunder cloud, and the rain which
lasts three weeks and produces
freshets. We need to witness oul
own limits transgressed, and some
life pasturing freely where we
never wander.

Business men and property own
ers abutting those streets where
paving is to be done, are asked by
the village board to meet at the
town hall this evening at 7:30 for
the purpose of hearing a report.
According to President Hall, the
paving proposition will be tied up
unless the property owner can as
sist the county in the furnishing
of funds for it's share of the paw
ing.
At a meeting of the village
board last evening, a contract was
entered into with Chas. Hanke for
the sprinkling of the streets dur
ing the summer months.

weather to come. 1t was also very
dry with very little precipitation
for the entire summer.
All during June, July and Au-
gust the wind blew from the
north in ice-laden blasts and moth
ers were kept busy knitting socks
and mittens of double thick
ness. On June 18th there was
a heavy fall of snow. A Vermont
farmer sent a flock of sheep to
pasture on that date. The next
morning the thermometer register
ed below the freezing point. At
9 o'clock the owner of the sheep
started out to look for them, but
an hour after he left his home a
terrible snow storm came up, com
pletely obliterating his tracks and
all landmarks. He became hope
lessly lost in the binding snow;
night came on and he had not
been heard from.
A searching party of neighbors
secured the country for three days
before they found the helpless
man lying in a hollow, covered
with snow, both feet and hands
badly frozen. Nearly all the sheep
were lost in the storm.
A farmer near Tewsbury, VT.
owned a large field of corn. He
built fires around this to keep the
frosts away. Nearly every night
he and his men took turns tend
ing these and watching that the
corn did not freeze. He was re-
warded for his tireless labor by
raising the only crop Of corn in
that part of the country.
July came in with ice and snow
and on July 4 ice as thick as a
window pane formed on rivers and
lakes throughout the New Eng
land states.
To the surprise of everyone Au-
gust proved the worst month OF
all. Almost every green thing in
the city and country, not only in
the United States but in Europe
as well, was blasted by frost.
Snow fell 30 miles from London
on August 30 and newspapers re-
ceived from England stated that
1916 would go down in history as
the year without summer. Very
little corn ripened in England.
There was great privation and
thousands of persons would have
persisted had it not been for an
abundance of fish and game

HIRST FAILS BLAINE.
Tells Many Things About the
Governors Policies Which
Show Things in Different
Light.

"A. X. Hirst, candidate for gov
ernor on the republican ticket who
is speaking at many places in the
north end of the state, is showing.
the voters something about the
methods which Governor Blaine
has been using during his term of
office. Both Blaine and Hirst are
candidates and the fun is waxing
fast and furious between the men.
Seems as though there is bad
blood between them, and since
1irst has resigned from the state
highway commission he is able to
tell many things concernin q
Blaine's attitude where highway
construction is concerned.
Just how Hirst is lambasting
the governor in his North Wiscon-
sin speeches, is shown by the fol-
lowing article written after he
had spoken at Tomahawk last
week. The Leader of that city
says:
Claiming that Gov. J. ]. Blaine,
was not a man of his word and
that his political promises of the
past two gubernatorial campaigns
were nothing more than idle talk
to be forgotten as soon as he was
elected, Arthur r. Hirst, candi-
date for governor Of the state of
Wisconsin at the September pri-
maries ON the Republican ticket
addressed a gathering of citizens
at the Mitchell hotel park on Sat-
urday afternoon.
1T can be truthfully said that
Mr.. Hirst is not yet a politician.
He recently resigned from the of
flee as head of the Wisconsin
Highway Commission, after sever
a! heated rows with our present
governor. Mr.. Hirst is a business
man, pure and simple. In opening
his talk he took the credit for the
present system Of state highways
and explained at length how they
had been paid for. He gave Gov.
Blaine plenty of criticism for fail
ing to relieve the road tax burden
on general property and real estate,
when he was given the chance to
do so. He severely criticised him
for his recent declaration, chang
ing over to the gas tax side which
he so recently fought, this change
coming after he found out that
four out of five people we're in
favor of it.
MIR Hirst enlarged on the state
ment that Wisconsin was killing
the goose that laid the golden
egg" meaning that much legisla-
ton was being enacted in the
state of revolutionary character
which was driving business from
the state, or in many instances
denying the state the payment of
income tax, which would be done
if equitable.
in closing Mr.. Hirst stated that
he had no general panacea for our
state ills nor did he feel abe to
prescribe for all of them. He be-
lieved in placing real qualified men
at the head of the various state
departments who had proven by
their successful work that they
were able to look after the state
business. He promises the state
real administration, devoid as pos
sible from political entanglements,
and a general recession from our
present high state tax burden"

Robbery at ManitOwish.

An attempt at wholesale robbery
in the village of Manitowish, Iron
county, just across the Villas coun-
ty line west of Eagle River was
frustrated when the robbers were
fired upon by some of the citizens
last Thursday night. The depot
and store was broken into as was
also the postoffice. Very little
money was secured, the burglars
being disturbed before they had
time to break into the safes.

IN THE WATER
Lakes and Rivers Used Long
Ago for Logging Purposes,
Rich in Unclaimed Timber.

In speaking of the golden har-
vest to the man or men who will
delve into the mine of logs now
lying at the bottom of lakes and
streams innumerable in Northern
Wisconsin's lake region, the Mil
waukee Journal strikes the key
note to a golden hoard which is to
be had for the labor of restricting
countless millions of feet of pine
and hardwood which have sunk
during the period of transporta-
ton by water from the woods to
the mills all over the northern sec
ton.
Take any lake or stream where
logs were dumped either to trans
port or as retaining pond where
they were later loaded upon trains
for the mills down state, and you
will find thousands of logs in per-
feet condition of storage. Upper
Wisconsin and Michigan certainly
has a store of richness, and the
following from the Journal writer
tells it tersely:
Gold filters the bottom of the
rivers of upper Wisconsin and
Michigan-gold that lies within
easy reach of the prospector but
cannot be grasped because of the
law.
This fortune, the total of which
even the best versed men decline
to hazard a guess, is in tens of
millions of feet of valuable logs
lying in the mud and sand of the
river bottoms. For years they
have lain there-ever since the
days of the big drives when Mich
gan and Wisconsin we're of the
greatest of the lumber states al
ways within reach but never OBJ
tainable. Whether they ever will
be reclaimed lumbermen question.
The logs sank when they became
waterlogged. Every stream used
in the early days. for drives is
Uttered with them. One logger
that on the bottom of
the Menominee river alone there
are more than $100,000,000 feet of
timber worth about $25 a
thousand feet today.
This timber is the property of
scores of lumber companies, many
of which have been out of exis-
tence for years. Each log bears
the stamp of the company which
cut it, however; and under the
law it remains that company's pro-
perty. To attempt to salvage the
logs would be in the eyes of the
law theft-unless the owners of
the timber banded together to re-
claim it and each returned to the
rightful owner the logs recovered.
Because such an undertaking
would prove so costly a venture
as to probably result in financial
loss, no attempts ever has been
made to reclaim, lumbermen say.
Timber which has been reclaim
ed from the river bottom is virtu-
ally as good lumber as the day it
was cut, lumbermen say. The wa
ter causes it to become slightly
brittle, but it's lumber value is re-
duced only slightly if at all. 1t is
in greater part pine, hemlock,
and Eastwood. Very little, if any
hardwood was foated down to the
mills, being transported by rail.
