Women Endorse Amendment.

The Federation of Women's
Clubs at their recent annual con-
vention at Sheboygan endorsed
the proposed amendment to the
state constitution which would
authorize the state to establish a
forest policy and to participate in
the acquiring, developing and pre-
serving of the forest resources of
Wisconsin.
1t was pointed out in the reso-
luton that the forest supplies of
the state had been badly depleted
without any adequate plan, either
ON the part of the state or private
enterprise, for forest replacement
on a scale commensurate with the
land, industrial, recreational and
social needs Of the state. State
participation in such plan at the
present time is unconstitutional
on account of the prohibition
against works of internal improve
ment.

LOST HIS CAR BY FIRE
Five-Passenger Hup Burns
While Being Driven From
Rhinelander Last Saturday
Night.

Discovering his Hup car to be
ablaze Saturday night while on his
way home from Rhinelander, Tom
McGregor, Jr., suffered total loss
and escaped with a few minor
burns.
Returning from Rhinelander in
the evening last Saturday, at a
point near the Bohemian school
house, Mr.. McGregor found that
his car was on fire. Parking along
side the road at once he began an
investigation, but there was an ex-
plosion Immediately which covered
the entire car with flames. In a
few minutes the car was destroyed,
and it is said to be total loss, the
heat running every working part
of the auto.
Just how the fire originated is
a conundrum to Mr.. McGregor,
who was driving home alone after
a business trip to Rhinelander.

A transfer in real estate hold
Iings last week on Town Line lake
near Three Lakes resulted in the
disposal of Korzilius & Sons resort
to VIM. Everit of Green Bay, who
will continue it's operation as a re-
sort. The property is a very val
liable tract lying a mile north of
Three Lakes on the above lake
which is connected with the upper
Eagle chain. For many years j.
H. Korzilius and sons have oper-
ated it, first as a resort, then later
as furnished cottages. Mr.. Everit
expects to add to it by returning
to the resort business after build
ing a main diningroom and sew
eral cottages. The Korzilius fam
lily have been mighty good citizens
during the score of years they
have lived in this North Woods.
It is not known whether they will
leave for their old home at Racine
or still identify themselves further
with this section.

HELD UP POKER PARTY
Masked Bandits Swipe All
Funds in Sight Saturday
Night in Logging Camp.

How it Feels to Be Held Up, or
Who Swiped the Money" is the
much mooted question with a
number Of lumberiacks since last
Saturday night when masked men
invaded Camp Three of the Wis
consin-Michigan Lumber company
northeast of State Line and took
all the cash from a bunch of poker
players.
Camp Three of the Wisconsin
Michigan Lumber company is the
last camp on the string of rails
from the State Line Cor Land O.
Lakes end of the company rail
road. 1t is beyond reach by team
or auto, and is considered good
hours walk from Camp Two, the
end of the auto highway. 1t is
located about a quarter of mile
northwest of the old Indian vii
lage on Lac Vieux Desert lake,
snuggled nicely in the dense hard
wood.
Being Saturday night several of
the laborers in camp started a
poker game in the filer's cabin and
everything is said to have gone off
nicely until about eleven o'clock
when the front door was suddenly
thrown open and a command of
Stick EN- up" given by two
masked men with revolvers.
To tell the story quickly, some
thing around $500 is said to have
been taken from the card party
and not a cent was left in the
kitty by the hold-up men. It is
stated that one of the masked men
was recognized as a fellow who
for several weeks had been visit
ing the camp frequently, and I'M
doubtedly had sized the situation
up nicely as a producer on Satur-
day nights when the poker money
was brought out from its hiding
place.

MARRIED AT BESSEMER
R. D. Mcleod and Mrs.
Katherine Jackson Wedd-
ed Last Wednesday in
Michigan City.

Wednesday afternoon of last
week in Bessemer, the Rev. James
Roberts officiating, saw the mar
riage of R. D. Mcleod and Mrs.
Katherine Jackson, both residents
of this county. The wedding
party drove from the brides home
on Little St. German lake to Bes-
semer, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Jackson who attend
ed them.
Mr.. Mcleod has been long
time resident of this community
and this has been since Eagle
River has grown from a lumber
village into neat little city. He
has seen the rapid growth and has
always made this his home and his
place of business. Mrs. Mcleod
has been operating a resort of
summer cottages since the death
of her husband, George H. Jack
son, on Little st. German lake
west of Eagle River.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcleod plan in
spending the winter in Florida,
returning in the spring in time to
start the operation of their bust
ness on ST. German lake.

JUST LIKE OLDEN TIMES
When Dobbin Had to Be
Fitted With New Footwear
it Necessitated Miles of
Travel.

Some insist on holding out the
fact that the horse is doomed and
not in the running since the adj
vent of pleasure cars, trucks, trac-
tors and whatnots operated by gas
power. Be that as it may, Dobbin
still has his uses and cannot be
supplanted by something man has
made, even though the good Lord
has given him the brain power to
substitute.
Tom Olson gave us a side-light
into the old-time method which
the people of Star Lake had to fol-
low for many years when it came
to fitting their horses with foot
gear. 1t used to be a yearly oc-
curence for John Oliver, Ole Ris-
mon or Tom to wire over to the
blacksmith at Eagle River to be
in readiness for their teams the
following day. This would happen
say twice year and entailed some
hardships, especially during the
fall or early spring. Twenty miles
of a. drive over an old road in
weather, which usually was rotten
when they set their dates, took
hours of time behind the slowly
plodding equines. 1t meant the
spelling of two days at that and
caused more cussin' and shivvers
than usually comes to the poor
fool who waits until squally
fall weather to go duck hunting
considers the worse the day, the
better duck shootin'.
AS stated before Tom brought
all this back when he and his son
Leonard drove over from Star
Lake last week to- visit the black
smith. Tom stated they started
something like two a. M, but the
kid claimed they never went to
bed at all the night previous. Any
how just imagine some guy used
to riding those miles in a car,
which he makes in less than an
hour, and place him behind a span
Of draft horses and plod along for
something like three or four
hours. While it has to be done, at
the same time it is some" chore
and Olson does not regret that it
only has to be done once or twice
year.

Offices Not Closed.

Last week in writing of the de
parture of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Sui
Ivan to Seattle, it was stated that
he had been with the Sanborn
Company, land dealers, who had
closed their offices.
This is found to be an error
and was due to transformation to
the News reporter. The Sanborn
Company still operate their offices
in the selling of Villas county
lands, which they have been fol
lowing for many years past. Then
Offices are still in the same suite
in the Sanborn building on the
second floor.

CATCH BEAR AND COON
Cub Killed in Resort Grounds
at Three Lakes; Coons Oc-
cupy Quarters in Girls
Camp.

Three Lakes district came to the
front few weeks ago with a tor
nado; now it is old bear, cubs and
coons attracting the attention of
the residents. Nothing like hav-
ing visible assets to squander at
this time of the year for the en-
joyment of the public.
Early one morning last week,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Beach heard a
discussion in the grounds near
their resort on Spirit lake. Inves-
tlgation showed a mother bear and
cub enjoying an early morning
stroll. Mother took to the tall and
uncut, while the cub "clim a tree"
where it was brought to the
ground by a bullet. 1t will be
mounted and placed in the Badger
garage.
About this time, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. A. Bishop, owners of Camp
Ldyle Wylde on Town Line lake,
discovered a colony of coons had
taken up residence with them on
their camp grounds. Bishop slew
couple and is now after the re-
mainder of the family lodged
somewhere on his property. Three
Lakes district has long been
known for it's beautiful lakes, it's
big fish, big trees and mighty good
people, but prior to the advent Of
bears and coons has kept intact
its integrity.

FIRE AT LAND O. LAKES

Last Night.

Fire destroyed the double build
ing at Land O Lakes last night
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. 0. P
LaChance with their ice cream

This occurred about 11:30 and
started from the upper story.
The loss was total in goods and
household effects. Not a solitary
thing being saved except the
clothing worn by the family
When discovered it had reached
such stage that what little effect
the volunteer fire fighters could dc
proved of no avail. The loss is
quite heavy, even though there
was some insurance.

Opened New Addition.

A new addition is being opened
in the east end Of the village of
Eagle River by Joseph Habrich,
realtor, and work has started for
the plating of the tract into lots.
This parcel of land lies on the
south side of highway 26 and is
known as the We'll holdings which
formerly contained ginseng gar
dens owned by We'll and Tosh.
Streets will be laid out and graded
as soon as the land is cleaned of
its brush and stumps. This sec
ton of the village is growing rap
idly and many new dwellings are
being builded adjoining this prop

A Winter Mecca.

A long winter is just ahead and
in its approach we begin to won
der about all the sports that could
be enjoyed. Our country is well
fitted to become a mecca for win

should be encouraged eearly and
some provision for them on a
larger scale would open up fine
field of pleasure for the whole
community.-Wausau Pilot.

and Mrs. Coolidge when, after their
vigil at the bedside of their younger
son, they were stricken with the
greatest grief that can pierce a faith
er's and mothers heart-and greater
grief no man knows. None could OBJ
serve the infinite sorrow of the silent,
almost lonely man who occupies the
White House, or that of the devoted
wife and mother without a heartache.
In the face of their sorrow no one has
had the heart to talk politics to or
disturb the President with anything
other than those affairs of state from
which no President can escape for
even one brief moment. Even as he
turned from that little grave in the
humble cemetery at Northampton
where he had laid his boy, Mr. Cool
idge's secretary was compelled to
hand him telegram on an important
government matter.

by its selections 'the Democrats de-
cided to commit political suicide"
John Sharp Williams, once brilliant
leader of the Democracy in the House
and the Senate, pathetically address,
ing his Democratic colleagues said,
"The poor, dear old foolish Democrat
ic party is going through the same
game that she can generally be trust
ed to go through soon after she gets
in power. That is the Democratic
party, true enough. That is its his
tory. That is what led Speaker Reed
to say in 1S94-95, You can't last long
because you are not accustomed to
governing anybody or anything; you
cannot govern the country because
you cannot govern yourselves. You
are just incompetents.' Tom Reed
is dead and John Sharp Williams has
retired from the Senate, but the
words of the great Republican and
the great Democrat were never more
wildly illustrated than during the re-
cent Democratic convention.
"Any lawyer who surrenders his
independence or shades his duty by
trimming his professional course to
fit the gusts of popular opinion, in
my judgment not only dishonors him
self but disparages and degrades the
great profession to which he should
be proud to belong" This was the
statement of John ". Davis when his
political friends told him he should

by his client. McAdoo is now de-
feated and discredited politicians, hate
ing all men and sulking in his room.
Davis is his party's nominee for the
highest office in the land-might even
stand chance of election if "the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Democratic Convention Pleased
Neither Friends Or Foes of
The X. X. X.

Washington, D. c., July %. After
compromising on the Ku Klux Khan
and temporizing on the League OF
Nations, in a way that pleased Meth
er friends nor foes of either, the
Democratic National Convention eff
fected a straddle so wide that it is
bound to split the poor old Democ-
racy all the way up, according to the
views of Washington Republicans
John W. Davis, high grade man, was
chosen for first place-after William
Jennings Bryan had assured the dele
gates and the world that Davis was
''the tool of Wall Strickland then
as a bride to the aforesaid Bryan his
little brother was nominated for
second place. Incidentally, too, there
was the belief that ''the farmer"
might be bought with the tail of the
ticket-as though any farmer was
ever satisfied with the tail. And now
no voter who would like to see Davis
in the White House can contemplate
the possibility Of Bryan getting there
without horror and repugnance-and
equally, no voter who would like to
see Bryan there can contemplate the
spectacle of Mr.. j. P. Morgan's form
er attorney ruling the country with
out anger and dismay. 1t is hardly
surprising that the n. y. World. lead
ing Democratic organ, should des-
cribe the convention as "the most in
competent in the history of the
party" or that the n. Y. American
should declare that, "The proud
old Democratic party proposes to
