Former Publisher.

P. O'Brien, owner of the Iron
River Mich.) Reporter, together
with Mrs. O'Brien and two daugh-
tiers passed through Eagle River
yesterday forenoon for Washburn
where they will visit. Mr.. O'Brien
was an early-day publisher of one
of the newspapers in Eagle River;
that is, during the logging period
when this section of Northern
Wisconsin and Michigan was a
forest and nothing else. In his
day this section did not lay claim
to highways, and a trip such as
he is now taking was an utter i'm
possibility. On the family's re-
turn they it will travel as much
as possible through the lake re-
gion from Hurley down through
Eagle River and then to Iron
River.

A WOODRUFF RESIDENT
David A. Kahn of That Place
Died Last Week in Saint
Paul From Attack OF Heart
Trouble.

His many friends in Rhinelander
and throughout Oneida and adj
joining counties will be grieved to
learn of the sudden death in St..
Paul Monday afternoon of David
A. Kahn of Woodruff. Mr.. Kahn's
death was due to heart failure and
he was visiting with relatives in
the Minnesota city when stricken.
For the last few years his health
had not been good, although he
was active in his business affairs.
He visited this city few days be-
fore his death and when inquiries
were made regarding his health he
replied that he had never felt
better.
Mr.. Kahn was about 60 years of
age. For the last 25 years he had
been a merchant in Woodruff and
his store is one of the best pat
ronized in that part of the coun-
ty. Among his numerous friends
Mr.. Kahn commanded the great
est esteem. He was public
spirited citizen, ready to respond
at all times to any movement for
the welfare of his community.
Oneida county can i'll afford to
lose men of his type.
Mr.. Kahn at one time repres-
ented the town of Woodruff on
the county board and was very
efficient in that capacity. He was
a member of several fraternities,
including the Masons, Odd Fellows
and Elks. He was unmarried, but
leaves a number of relatives who
are identified with the mercantile
business in northern Wisconsin
and upper Michigan.
Funeral services were held at
eleven o'clock Thursday forenoon
from Rockford chapel in St. Paul
and were under the auspices of
the Masonic lodge.-Rhinelander

lowed by a supper in the main
diningroom of the lodge. Mrs.
Juve is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alex McGregor, while the groom
is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. O. A.

BUILDING POWER LINE
Light & Water Commission
Laying Poles and Material
on New Line to Village of
Minocqua.

This week all of the poles and
material will be on the ground for
the new power line connecting
Eagle River with Minocoua and
points between those two villages,
according to Superintendent Edw.
4ckhoff of the Eagle River Light
& Power Company.
This line was to have been built
IN the early part of the year but
until 1T was passed upon by the
state, the matter was held up.
Now that the funds have been
guaranteed by interested individ-
uals, work will progress to a point
OF completion within a matter Of
SIX or eight weeks, when power
will be turned on over this line.
So far the line will run direct 10
Mlnocqua, and after it is in opera
ton side lines will be added which
will take care of summer homes,
resorts and villages between these
two points. This will be an added
comfort and an economic method
for the people all along the
twenty-five miles of line to secure
city comforts in lighting and
power. There can be a large bust
ness built up from this undertake
ing, which will cost the hackers
something like $4,000 before the
line is completed and in operation.
Minocdua's city power plant,
run with gasoline engine, is said
to be in poor condition and would
necessitate the installation of new
machinery and many repairs be-
fore it would be able to give its
people adequate service. 1t is
said the repairs alone would cost
that city something like $4,000 to
put their plant in shape.

Demonstrated Fire PUMPS.

Through their agents Strong &
Manley, the Evinrude Motor Com
pany held a public demonstration
III Eagle River last week Friday
at the river near the bridge. The
demonstration was that of a port
able high pressure fire pump
which has been put upon the mar
ket recently by that company. The
demonstration proved that this
pump is specifically adapted for
the fighting of forest fires, filing
tanks, home fire protection-in
fact its services are unlimited
where a city service is not to be
had. This pump IS the same kind
that Camp Mishike, the forestry
service boys camp located near
Winchester this county, has used
IN the protection of its forests and
shore line for the past two sea-
sons. It certainly fills the needs of
the resort or summer home where
a fire menace is apt to develop.

To Sink Municipal Well.

The village Of Minocqua, now
that the lighting and power ques-
ton is settled since Eagle River
will build a line to that place, will
turn her attention to sinking
municipal well. Samples of water
taken from a depth of 1876 feet
have been approved by the state
and the village will prepare to
give their residents pure drinking
water. That is something that
Eagle River will have to prepare
for and not at any great time in
the future. This little city has a
mighty fine power service but has
a horrible service in drinkable
water. 1t still depends upon the
old hand pump and driven welt
good in the days Of our fathers
when the population was nil, but
rather obsolete now that we are
assuming the proportions Of
real man-sized city.

Visited Minnesota Lake Region.

Bert Bake of Phelps accom-
panied by couple gentlemen, re-
turned last week from East Bear
skin lake region north of Grand
Marias,. Minnesota, some twenty
six miles north of Lake Superior.
This is the second trip Mr.. Bake
has made to that section in the
past three years but each time he
has failed to find something bet
ter than the Wisconsin lake re-
gion where he makes his home.
It is an avowed fact that that sec
ton is virgin in timber and fish
and game animals, but for the
average man or woman it is out
of touch for everyday enjoyment.
While up In that country he visit
ed the summer lodge of the Col
mans and was a guest of Angus
Colman who also has a home on
one of the many lakes near the
Colman home on East Bearskin.

GOING INTO CHICKENS
L. M. Grover of HiIlsite Gar
dens on Catfish Building
for Big Production.

Believing that with. a proper
equipment for the raising of
chickens for the market a
mighty big business may be build
ed up, Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Grover
of Hillsite Gardens, located on
Catfish lake east Of Eagle River,
are fitting for an enlarged busi.
ness beginning with the comine
year.
They are just finishing a mod.
ern poultry house 20x15O with
every added improvement in con-
struction and conditions neces-
sary for the culture of prime
poultry for consumption at the
resorts in this section, together
with the summer home trade and
that of the city person after their
return from this section who see
the necessity of having the best in
table delicacies. With this build
ing finished Mr.. Rooster and
Madame Hen will be "at home" in
quarters where they bask in every
comfort needed in the production
OF pure eggs and broilers.
The Growers have come to- the
conclusion that manure-fed poul
try have had their day; that they
must now be placed upon a plat
form of wholesomeness in order
to give the trade eggs and fowls
which have been produced by
feeding wholesome and clean food;
also having the quarters where
the supply for the trade is gar
nered on the same plane. There
fore they are striving to- create
something in the poultry produc-
ton line a little out of the or
binary and above contamination
of any sort. Cleanliness in egg
land broiler production will be the
slogan of Hillsite Gardens when
they start producing for next
years trade.
Hillsite Gardens since started by
Mr.. and Mrs. Grover has won an
enviable reputation in garden deli
cacies. They have made a special
ity of Strawberries and vegetables
which they supply in abundance
to resorts and summer homes on
the chain of lakes.

BUILD VETERANS CAMP
Experimental Camp for Dis
abled War Veterans VIII
Be Established in Villas
County Next Year.

An experimental camp for dis
abled and convalescent war vet
Grams will be established on a site
between Plum and Star Lakes in
Villas county, as result of action
taken at Madison by the state ex-
ecutive committee of the Ameri-
can Legion last week.
The committee authorized the
leasing of the site and the immed-
late construction of the camp,
which is to cost $4,000. It is
planned eventually to provide fac
ilities for 300 veterans besides
permitting of the site for outings.
A committee headed by Rev.
Harry S. Ruth, Ashland, will study
construction problems and the
first section of the camp will be
ready in May, 1925.
The tract will border on both
Star and Plum lakes, which are
about three quarters of a mile
apart. 1t is timbered with virgin
hardwood and hemlock. 1t is also
within the area approved by Gov.
Blaine and it is a desirable loca-
ton, according to conservation
commissioner c. L. Harrington.
The midwinter conference of
post officers will be held at Bara-
boo probably on January % and
"a, the committee decided.
