Seventy-six hundred and seven
newspapers of the United States,
out of a total of 1888, are now
Newspaper Association Members
of the National Highways Asso-
citation. These members receive
from the association road news
every week. The majority of these
papers publish part or all of this
news every week.
Why?
Only because progressive papers,
realizing the intense interest TAX
en- by everyone everywhere in
roads, desire to serve their read
ers with the sort of informationt
and news stories they want to
read.
That more than half the papers
of this great country are so inter
ested in highways, highway build
ing, highway maintenance, and
highway use, is a sufficient indi-
cation of the Importance of the
subject to the body polite On
roads depend, in an increasing de-
gree every year, our transporta-
ton. 1t is not so long ago that
the railroads represented the larg-
est industry in the United States.
Recently the automobile industry
passed the railroads in size; it is
now the country's largest indus
try Exclusive of farming). But
the automobile industry in turn
is destined soon to be passed by
road building, which will be the
greatest single industry in this
Nation.
Transportation is rails plus
cars, rivers plus boats, highways
plus motors. Cars, boats, and mo-
tors are helpless without their
highways 1t is because we have
more cars than roads, more We
hicles than places to use them,
and because we need, must have
more highways, good highways,
national highways, and good roads
everywhere, that 1907 newspapers
have enrolled themselves In a

tops of the hills and ridges. You
can get a swell view from there
So can the buck. Don't walk fast,
you can't see good if you do, and
besides you can't stop and shoot
straight when you are out of wind
and breathing heavy.
Remember the deer is always
looking for you, especially if some
one has emptied a 10-shot clip
around his tail the day before
See him first. Deer are hard to
spot standing still, even in this
cover. Go slow for when you
move the deer sees you. When he
moves, you see him. Look for one
standing still watching you; they
pull this stuff right along. When
you see a flag go up, that was the
place where he was standing look
ing you over. Keep out of the
thickets and brush. Don't mon
key around in there, the deer
might be in there and if he is you
can't catch him. That is why he
ran in there.
If you hear some one open up
with a thousand shots from .351
automatic, jump up on a stump
quick and look all around. That
may be some one who has jumped
a 500-pound buck and it might be
coming right down your street.
Every time you hear someone
shoot, stop, look and listen and
you run a good chance of getting
a shot yourself. Don't go into
the woods with a gun before you
know how it shoots, where it
shoots and how it works" Nine
ty per cent of the accidents" are
caused from unfamiliarity with
firearms. Equip YOUR rifle with
the best of sights and sight in it
low.

Star, and was written by John 7.
Vandervort of Sayner.
See America First" is a slogan
worthy of due consideration and
fortunately one of the wonders of
the U. s. A. is right at your very
door. Wisconsin, the land noted
for its woods, waters, rock for
nations natural state parks, In
dian reservation, dairy farms,
cheese factories prize-winning DO
tato farms and a world famous
system of state trunk highways
welcomes the nation and awaits
your approval.
Wisconsin principally the up
per or northern half is one of the
few areas in this country that
was swept by the Great Glacial
Drift in prehistoric times. AS this
monster ice sheet pushed down
over this region great depressions
were made in the earth's surface
and after the bulk of this frozen
mass melted away, these low
places or basins were filed with
either surface water springs or
streams until they formed hun
dreds of various sized bodies of
water which we now call lakes.
1t is interesting to study the
physical features of these lakes
in detail. Each one has one or
more individual characteristic of
its own-not any two are alike
hence there must be one lake,
some place to suit the most crit
ical. Here are a few examples of
distinctive features, viz: Lake

Eat Reindeer Meat.

REINDEER meat may occasionally
be purchased in some of the larg-
er markets of the country, partic-
ularly in Pacific coast cities, ac-
cording to the Biological Survey
of the United States Department
of Agriculture. A recent report
from Spokane, Wash, was to the
effect that SO Alaskan reindeer
would be placed on sale on a GER
tain day at a public meat market.
The carcasses We're shipped whole,
with the sides on, and frozen solid,
and it was stated that to preserve
the juices and flavor, the meat
would be cut up and sold without
thawing. These particular carcas-
ses were part of a shipment from
st. Lawrence Island, in the Boring
Sea, made as an experiment by
the Bureau Of Education. The
Biological Survey states that at
the close of the transportation
season on the Bering Sea coast in
October, over 1,400 reindeer car
casses were shipped from Alaska
to the United States. Of this
number, 1000 were shipped by a
single company.
Reindeer meat is fine grained,
contains a palatable fat and is not
gamy" in flavor when properly
produced and handled, but COM
pares favorably with beef. The
liver is not unlike calves liver
and, as it is of large size, makes
an important item of food. The
tongue and heart are both of good
flavor and quality.
Does are not slaughtered. A
certain number of bucks are set
aside for breeding purposes, and
the rest are raised as steers, to be
butchered when about 3 years old.
The dressed weight of a 3 year
old steer averages about $50
pounds. By cross-breeding with
caribou and following a process
OF selection and grading up of
stock in the herds the weight
will eventually be much increas-
ed. At the present time, little
more than 80 years after the first
importation of reindeer into Alas
ka from eastern Siberia, the num-
Der of living reindeer in Alaska is
estimated to be about 100000. In
addition half as many more were
slaughtered for food and clothing.
Begun as an experiment, reindeer
grazing in Alaska has amply prov
ed its practibility and demonstrate
ed It's Importance as one of the
great future industries of the Ter
rltory-Wausau Pilot.

The joke of yesterday is the fact
of to-day. Maybe we will yet ride
on national highways of steel!
They laughed at steel rails for
locomotives, too. They laughed at
transcontinental highways. And
how they did laugh at De Lesseps
and his Panama Canal!
He laughs best who laughs last.

paved united States IN our
day.
The man who is laughed at to-
day is revered tomorrow. They
laughed at Bell and his telephone,
Edison and his electric light, and
Langley with his crazy flying ma
chine. The Wright brothers were
derided, the discoverer of x rays
were ridiculed, and the radio de-
fusion" brought smiles and amuse-
ment.
But now nowi
1t is impossible for us to say,
now, what the road of the future
is to be, as it was impossible for
us to say, five years ago, what the
radio broadcast of today would be.
An inventor wants to interest
capital in making a roadway of
steel. 1t will cost, if built, not
thousands, but several hundreds
of thousands of dollars per mile.
Road builders laugh. The public
laughs. We all laugh. Why pay
three hundred thousand dollars a
mile for roads when we can get
them for a few thousands?
Twenty years ago the idea of
paying twenty-five thousand dol
lars a mile for road was laughed
at!
This steel idea may be all wrong.
1t hasn't been tried. 1t may be
chimerical in the extreme. We
don't know. But we do know
that laughing at it because it's diff
ferent IS no way to- prove it idiotic.
Ten years ago people laughed at
the idea of national highways.
They don't laugh any more. More
and more people are coming to
think that highways are as much
a part of the Nations business
as waterways, Panama Canal,
battle-ships, and army.
The new idea is always laughed
at. Laughter doesn't prove any
thing except the 'stand-pat mind"
of the laughter. Maybe steel
roads at three hundred thousand
dollars a mile are impractical. But
why not bring something else to
bear on the question beside laugh
ter? Nobody laughs at national
any more; not even Con-
gress!
