Has Built Cabin Factory.

John Adams, the Rhinelander
man who has been manufacturing
portable log cabins for summer
home people and resorts in this
lake region for several years past,
has finished the erection and in
stallation of machinery in a plant
at Rhinelander. 1t is said that
the plant is now in operation and
has a bulk of orders ahead for
spring delivery. Sveral years ago
Mr.. Adams conceived the idea of
manufacturing portable log cab
ms, bungalows and garages for re-
sorts and summer homes and last
year placed a number in this sec
ton. The exterior of the build
ings are made of split logs and
have decided rustic appearance
when erected on the shore of the
lakes in this lake region. The in
terror may be fixed up to suit the
fancy of the purchaser or else left
rustic just as it came from the
factory.

Weather Around Thirty.

Old-tlme Wisconsin winter
weather held the front of the
stage the first of the week in
this north woods. Some saw e
was 81 below zero Sunday morn
ing, and we all know it hung ar
ound the 26 mark Monday morn
ing. With a stiff breeze blowino.
Sunday, there was very little time
devoted to anything else than
stocking the furnace and telephon-
ing the wood and coal man. One
fellow from Watersmeet, who
lives IN a cottage with ceilinqs
two inches better than eleven
feet, certainly had coolies of plea
sures Sunday heating up his home
Claims he used three cords of
wood and a half ton of coal in
keeping warm. This fellow is a
railroad man and we are not
vouching for the strength of his
statements.

The Best Printed Paner.

When newspaper man issues
his regular weekly edition ON cal
endered book paper he must have
wad of money. From the ap-
pearance of the Jefferson County
Union, published at Fort Atkinson
by the Hoards there is sure money
back of the concern else the pub
fishers would go broke printing
.Sde paper on quality paper every
week. The Union has a clean-cut
appearance, looking more like a
magazine than a country news
paper. The Hoards have drafted
a new method of road programs
and their plank for it's adoption by
the state highway system is a
mighty good one. The editorial
published last week entitled "Our
Highway Platform for Wisconsin
Safety First is winner if it
is put in force.

FORMER MINOCQUAMAN
Loses Life by Freezing While
on Fishing Trip.

DIR. F. x. Schlecht of Ashland
who was frozen to death last week
Saturday near Iron River, Wis.
was a former Minocqua resident
and a brother to VIM. Schlecht of
that village. In telling of the
deaht of DIR. Schlecht, the Hurley
Miner says:
Losing their way while on a
fishing trip from their camp on
Topside lake, near Iron River, Sat
urday afternoon, DR.. F. x. Schlecht
an Ashland dentist, was frozen to
death, and Charles Bloss, mayor of
! Ashland, his companion, escaped
with his life, his feet so badly
frozen, amputation of both may
be necessary.
The two were in sight of their
camp at the time, and only the
opportune arrival of Ernest Scott,
Ashland business man, who was to
spend Sunday with them, saved
Bloss' life. He discovered Bloss on
the shore of the lake early Sun
day all but dead, with Schlecht's
body not far away Unable to
carry Bloss, he got blankets and
supplies at the camp, gave him
such first aid as he could and then
got word to doctors at Iron River.
The medical men rushed there at
top speed, Drs. Johnson and Tar
ter responding with the formers
son, these carrying Bloss and DIR.
Schlecht's body to the shack.
Scott reached the camp Satur-
day night, and made himself at
home when he discovered the two
men were not there. He made
short exclusions looking for them,
and went to bed when he failed to
find them. Bloss' cries awakened
him.

MAKE BIG CUTS OF LOGS
Near Hundred Million Feet
Already Skidded from the
North.

More than 100000 feet of
logs which have been loaded on
skids In Northern Wisconsin and
the upper peninsula of Michigan
are now available for movement
to mills and railroad loading
points because of the snow which
has recently covered the North
west, according to estimates of
timber and lumber experts.
This estimate does not take into
consideration several million feet
of logs which will be cut out and
transported by rail from the
woods to the mills, timber men
say.
The logs loaded on skids, are
being sledded over iced roads to
the mills for lumber. Modern
methods of numbering are super
|ceding the iced roadway method
OF hauling, according to timber
cruisers. The use of railway trans
portation with temporary tracks
leading into the heart of the
woods which are connected with
a main artery track is increasing
and thereby making it unnecessary
to depend on snow for iced skid
ways, numbering men say.
The fear of an open Winter, it
is said, has caused the discontinue
ance of cutting operations lii sew
eral sections where rail transpor-
tation is not used. Cutting will
again begin in these sections with
the presence of a goodly amount
of snow.
The railway transportation me-
thod makes all year around cut
ting and saving possible and
takes the seasonal character out
of the lumber industry to a great
extent.
