MAKING IMPROVEMENT
Troyer Will Give the Village
a New Business Building
Within the Year.

Ground was broken the first of
the week for a new Improvement
IN the business block on Wall
street by Roy Troyer who operates
the Eagle Bakery next door to the
Lawler building.
Owing to his increased business
Mr.. Troyer is in need of better
quarters and the necessity of a
larger and more accommodating
place for his patrons and work
men, he will erect a modern brick
building on the spot where he now
operates.
He has started the building of
a 17x38 building for his bake room
and intends equipping it with the
latest machinery and ovens
everything being of fire-proof ma
ture. He has removed his little
residence from the rear of the
bakery to lot near the Robert
Ziebell home on Pine street and
will fit that home for himself and
family by a roomy addition to the
main structure.
The front part of his bakery
will remain as it is until some
time next year when the old struc-
ture will be torn down and
brick salesroom erected. While he
is remodeling this portion of his
building he will occupy the adj
joining building on the west
owned by Strong & Manley.

SUPPLYING SEED STOCK
Spuds From Northern Wis
consin Again in Demand
By Southern Growers.

Upper Wisconsin will again sup
ply the careful potato grower with
excellent seed.
This season has been very fav-
orable for the growth of an I'M
usually fine crop of certified pure
bred seed potato stock" reports
j. G. Milward, purebred seed
potato extension worker of Wis
consin College of Agriculture. The
cool and wet season gave the po-
tato a fine chance to thrive, and
at the same time all weakling
plants that were susceptible to the
Mosaic diseases showed up more
plainly than under dry weather
conditions. We were able to spot
practically every undesirable plant
during the growing season, and
left just the healthiest plants for
the digging"
Milward states that there will
be approximately 200 carloads of
purebred certified Triumphs for
the out of state buyers who are
now beginning to come north in
search of seed.
On the recent potato tour thru
the purebred certified seed potato
section of the Badger state, many
of the potato growers and buyers
o. the south were present. The
states which are especially inter
ested in purebred seed stock are:
Texas, Alabama, Florida, and other
truck growing states.-New North

They Have Snakes.

Mathematics have become so
numerous in sections of Walworth
county, says last weeks Shawano
Journal, that farmers complain of
finding them in the fields under
grain stacks and in low places
near farm buildings. The rattlers
have appeared in great numbers
three miles north of Delavan
during the last three months,
where one man has killed Is since
July. It is said the rattlers have
come out of the low places due to
the great amount of water which
has flooded the swamp lands. The
reptiles average four feet in
length with from 8 to II rattles.
One measured five feet and had
"a rattles.

Addressed Sayner People.

H. N. Wheeler lecturer of the
United States forestry service
spoke to Sayner people last week
Tuesday on "The Lure of the For
ests." His talk was right to the
point in showing the average
person in this northland who adj
mires well-kept nature and unrav-
aged scenery, that it is their duty
as well as the government, state,
county, town or district, to pro-
tect that which we have; not alone
from fire but from the ravages of
the careless Individual who has an
inclination to spoil. This element
is worse than fire, according to
Mr.. Wheeler.

those people in Eagle River who

ARE SEEKING COPPER
State Geological Survey Are
Looking for Traces in This
Part Of State.

Two parties of biologists are
spending the summer in the north
ern part of Wisconsin, attempting
to discover copper deposits. One
party started at Hayward, Sawyer
county, and the other party
started at Mellen Ashland county.
The Hayward party worked east,
testing the soils and the rocks,
and classifying the mineral lands
of the district through which they
passed. The Mellen party has been
working north. They are at pres
ent at Hurley, while the Hayward
party has gotten as far as Iron
River.
The Iron, River party is COM
posed of H. r. Aldrich, who has
complete charge of the work;
George Seleery and Ray A. Stehr,
assistants. At Hurley L. H. Harp
and Sam Rosenberg are working.
In addition to searching for cop
per, the men are conducting mag
netic experiments. These expert
ments are based on the old geo
metric axiom that when two
things are found equal to the
same thing they are equal to each
other.
Magnetic needles, compasses,
etc., are used. The effect of GER
tain outcroppings of rocks on the
magnets are determined and then
the magnets are taken to places
where there are no visible out
groupings. When the effect is the
same it is known that the same
sort of rock is present.
Thus the effect Of copper-bear-
ing ore on a magnet is determined.
When the magnet acts in the same
manner where no ore is visible,
the conclusion is that copper-bear-
ing ore is present.
The results Of the summers ex-
periments, will not be known un-
til the results have been tabulated
at the main Offices Of the state
geological survey in Madison.
All of the men in the two par
ties are either graduates or
students at the University of Wis
consin.-Milwaukee Journal.

SANBORN'S CLOSE CALL
Ashland Attorney Falls I'm
der Train But Escaped In
jury.

A close call was given to the
life of A. w. Sanborn of Ashland
last week when he fell on the
track in front of a moving train.
He is so well known in Eagle
River that the story as it comes
from the daily press is given:
Uncanny presence of mind
saved the life of A. w. Sanborn,
Ashland attorney, when he was
knocked down Wednesday and
thrown between the wheels of a
passenger train.
Mr.. Sanborn, returning from a
court room where he was trying
g case, reached the railroad cross
ing just as a freight train went
by. He waited for it to pass and
then started across the track,
directly into the path of back
ing passenger train. The rear end
of the train struck him and threw
him to the ground directly be-
tween the wheels of the coach.
The attorney lay still until five
cars and the engine had passed
over him. Then he arose unhurt,
except for few minor bruises.

Griff Milhan was found guilty of
murder and was sentenced to life
