of the state assembly for two
terms from the Vilas-Iron coun-

Mr.. Mark was elected assembly
man from this district in the fall
of 1920 and was reelected in the

ton. At the last session he was
a member of the game and fish
committee.
That he was considering becom-
ing a candidate for a seat in the
upper house of the state legisla-
ture was known to few of his
friends, but no definite announce
ment of his intentions was made
until this week.
If elected Mr.. Mark will not &c
to the legislature as Blaine man
Nor will he admit that he should
be classed with the Stalwarts. He
intends to go as an Independent,
he says, with the best interests OF
his district in mind all the time.

which he believes will advance the
interests of Northern Wisconsin.
Whether Senator Werden will
seek reelection is not known
Neither has any other candidate

BUILDING OPERATIONS
Two New Buildings Under
Contract on Railroad Street
for Higgins and Roderick.

The dismantling of the Roderick
frame building which J. J. Roder-
ick had occupied with his barber
shop, was begun Monday of this
week. In place of the old wooden
structure a modern one-story build
ing will be erected of tile and
brick, joining the frame building
now occupied as a pool room. Lat
er on this latter building will be
torn down and replaced with a
structure Of tile and brick.
Some time this week contrac-
tors will begin the erection of the
two-story brick office building
which Alex Higgins will build on
the rear of the First National
Bank building, with it's front on
Railroad street. With two new
structures on Railroad street this
year, and the erection of several
more very soon, Eagle Rivers
business appearance from the rail
road will add much to the appear
ance of the village to the rail
traveller.
Add to this block or so of
concrete pavement on that street
and several on Wall street, and a
white way included also, and the
village will certainly be placed in
rank with it's sister cities in the
northland.

VOTE BONDS
Special Election in that Viii
lage for Creation of Bonds
for a Pure Water Supply.

The village of Minocqua, located
thirty miles from Eagle River, will
hold special election on May
18th for the purpose of floating.
$4,000 worth of water bonds, a
call to that effect having been au-
thorized last week by the town
board of that village.
Minocqua, like great many
other villages and cities, is with
out a pure water supply, and the
state health board has been rails
ing much noise on that account.
The village secures it's water from
the lake near the village, and
while some claim it is pure, still
the state authorities lay claim
that it is full of bugs and other
foreign matter which imperils the
health of inhabitants. Therefore
it is UP to the village board to
secure better liquid refreshments.
Not alone is Minocqua without
pure water. Recently the city of
Rhinelander awoke to the fact
that the city supply was not in
accordance with health laws as
builded by 1 state and they trlcd
to float a bond issue in order 0
secure a supply of water that
would conform with state regula-
lions. When the special election
was held, the voters defeated the
bond issue overwhelmingly and
have buried it for some time to
come.
Eagle River is another village
UP against the same question at
this time. The water supplied by
the village is not pure enough to
drink and use in cooking, there
fore the same condition prevails
as that at Minocqua and Rhine
lander. What the outcome will be
is said to be soon determined by
the state authorities, and that un-
doubtedly means that Eagle River
will be placed where a better ser
vice in water is given the inhabl-
tants.

and as a specimen of his devoted
