Concrete and Sewers

From remarks by different property owners and
business who have the best interests of the village
OF Eagle River at heart it begins look though the
onged for Improvement in the streets of the vii
lage will through possibly this summer or late in
the fall
A petition covering the concrete question has been
signed practically unanimously by business and
property abuttng the main business streets,
Wall and Railroad and it remains for the village
board to definitely decide whether the new sewer on
Wall street will be placed this spring. then to be fol-
lowed by concreting of several blocks.
Before the concretng be DONE the sewer must
be laid on Wall street Railroad street given new
sewer last fall and it stated that the board is decid
ing quick action for the placing of larger
sewer Wall street, which is absolute necessity
The city has outgrown the present sewage SYSTEM
must of necessity prepare for the caring for larger
main through the business district The only hodback
according to member of the board is the matter of
sufficient funds for the undertaking of
crete pavement.
While these improvements are an absolute neces
sity still Eagle River people step down and pass
the buck any longer but must of certainty get out
of the old umberjack days when anything from sawust
streets to mudhoes considered plenty good. With
mud puddes each of the main business blocks all
year round it to those who believe in good
'front.' it is proper and necessary that build little
city in keeping with its people who desire progress
away from crude methods such have been forced
to carry on for years.

we'll make up their minds better conditions that
certainly places Eagle River recreation and bust

WANT FANS AT MEETING
American Legion, Sponsors
for the Base Ball Season,
Asks Fans to Meet Friday
Night.

A meeting Of all base ball fans
and others interested is asked for
on next Friday evening, April 25th
at 7:30 at the town hall.
Players, especially the younger
element are asked to be there in
order that some sort of lineup
for the teams may be made.
Eagle River should certainly put
young team in the field, even if
we are compelled to wait a year
or SO before breaking into the
major stuff in the north woods re-
gion-not the Babe Ruth or Cy
Williams class, but something
near to it. 1t can be done but it
will take some time in the build
ing. There is plenty of material
in the village and surrounding
territory to give us the making of
splendid outfit of ball players.
A town without snappy ball
team is like a fivver without a
man behind the dashboard.

Afternoon.

and Mrs. G.. E. Hazen at their re-
sort on Long lake east of Phelps
last Saturday afternoon, and from

and as result very little of the
contents were saved.
The home was built several
years ago and was a fine residence
property, used exclusively by the
family the year round. Insurance
was carried. The building was
valued at about $4,000.

TRY OUT A NEW METHOD
Manitowish Fishermen Will
Propagate Muskellunge in
Spider Lake Chain.

The Manitowish Waters Associa-
ton, comprising men who have
been devoting their time and
money for several years in the
conservation and propagation of
fish and game, has now started
out to increase their supply of
muskellunge by unique method.
The Hurley Miner tells the follow
ing and shows how they will do it.
wv. O. Strandberg, we'll known
Manitowish fisherman and guide,
has been delegated by the state
conservation commission to- try
out a new method of propagating
muskellunge. The method was
suggested to the commission by
Mr.. Strandberg and the plan is
to screen off a small portion of the
numerous lakes on the Manitowish
waters, take out all the other
rough and game fish and let the
muskellunge spawn in the screen
ed portion of the lake. The con-
servation commission has never
been able to satisfactorily propa-
gate the muskellunge in it's num-
erous fish hatcheries and for this
reason this popular game fish is
gradually disappearing in many of
the lakes in the northern part of
the state.
''Mr. Strandberg has given years
of study to the game fish that in
habit the Manitowish waters and
other lakes in that vicinity and be-
lieves that the method he is now
trying out is the only feasible way
to propagate muskellunge. In the
event that the plan works out sat
isfactorily ON the Manitowish wa
tiers it will be tried at numerous
other lakes in the state that are
inhabited by muskellunge.
Game Warden Wilkie is assist
ing Mr.. Strandberg in his work.

BUCKS WITHOUT HORNS
Prairie Du Chen Paper Tells
Story of Buck Fight at This
Time of Year.

The following story taken last
week from a Prairie du Chen
newspaper tells of fight between
two buck deer somewhere between
Chicago and Duluth. To the ay-
erage man who knows wild life at
this time of the year, the story is
rather out of condition. 1t is a
we'll known fact that bucks FIGHT
only during the mating season and
when they are full antlered. Right
now, or for that matter, any time
after the first of the year the
bucks have shed their antlers and
while they are in the process of
growing, do not indulge in any
scrap. Right now the incoming
antlers are very soft and any ener-
getic use Of them would cause
their destruction. With "sore
heads" and the horns in a grow
ing condition it does not stand to
reason that there is very much
scrap left in the king of the for
ests at this season.
Not doubling the statement of
the paper, still the article has
brought forth much mirth from
hunters who have been reading
the following:
Trainmen on the 500 line limit
ed, running from Duluth to Chi
cago, Friday night, reported that
two large bucks, fighting on the
tracks north of Ladysmith, were
killed when the train travelling at
high speed, came around sharp
curve and crushed them before
they hao a chance to separate

Ought to be Done Here.

The city council has under adj
visement at this time, the use of
calcium chloride on as many of
the streets of the city as are pc
titioned for by property owners.
The work will be done by the city
and charged up to each individual
owner. Should a majority of the
owners on any one street desire
to have the entire street covered,
the council will no doubt require
it done. The approximate cost of
having this work done will be
10c per running foot, mighty
cheap and effective way of keep

BOY BLOWN TO PIECES
Nineteen Year Old Son of
Ernest Carlson, State Line,
Killed By Exploding Dyna-
mite.

A shocking tragedy occurred
yesterday afternoon at the Carl
son farm west of State Line when
Earl, the nineteen year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Carlson was
literally blown to pieces by the
discharge of dynamite which he
was handling. The boys body was
so badly mutilated that recogni-
ton would be impossible.
The accident happened a little
after dinner near the farm home
where Earl was blowing stumps.
1t is supposed that the charge of
explosive he was handling was in
some manner set off while in his
hands. Both arms were blown off
and his head almost dismembered.
One leg was practically severed
from the body.
Earl Carlson was born in Min
nesota nineteen years ago, and for
many years past had been a res
ident of State Line. He was a fine
lad and had the friendship of the
community.
