Are Reaping Harvest.

Insurance men in this section of
the state are reaping a harvest in
tornado insurance. The first few
days after the Three Lakes tor
rado, local insurance men were
working over time on policies to
cover tornado, wind and storm.
Many hundreds of thousands of
dollars in insurance on summer
home, resort and residential and
business property was written,
and the end is not yet in sight.
Another factor will be the insur-
ing of lake frontage and timber.
While it is not an established fact
that this can be done, it will be
known within a short time if such
is possible, one insurance writer
having taken this matter up with
his companies. If such is the case,
there is another harvest in the
building.

the c. S. Club. Monday evening,

SPECIALIZE IN FLOWERS
Summer Home of Weisse ON
Big St. German Lake is a
Place of Beauty.

From the number of premiums
which Mrs. Henry G. Weisse of
Big St. German lake has been
winning at the fairs the past, year,
it can be taken that the Weisse
grounds contain some wonderful
flowers. To prove that, the car
load which they brought in town
Monday to be distributed to their
friends, leaves no doubt in any
ones mind as to their ability in
flower culture.
Specializing in the different
varieties of dahlias, gladiolas,
zinnas, petunias and the modest
sweet peas, they have builded
their summer home and grounds
into & fairyland of flowers which
needs the services of an expert
writer to properly describe their
beauty and what it has taken in
the culture of these flowers to
build them up to the high stan
dard they now stand at.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Weisse are
lovers of flowers. Their home
grounds are given over to them.
They labor among them and call
it pleasure, and the comments
given by hundreds of people who
visit their home on Big St. Ger
main just to see what with the
help Of nature and good seed one
can do, is payment enough to
them for their summers labors.
A display of dahlias in the win
dow of the News office this week
certainly proves that most people
love flowers, especially that quail
ity which the Weisse family is
producing.

Indians Are Now Citizens.

Very few people know that Ind
ians will be able to vote at the
coming election, having been
given rights of citizenship by an
act passed by the last congress.
This act is, called the Citizenship
Act. With it's passage every ma
tive-born Indian in the United
States automatically became a
citizen. Commissioner Burke re-
GENTLY estimated the number at
approximately 125,000. At least
onc-fourth of this number, it is
calculated, are adults and there
fore entitled to vote, except in
states where the election laws fix
certain qualifications, such as edu-
cations property ownership or pay
ment of poll taxes, that the new
Indian citizens may not be able
to meet. Most of the Indians, it
is pointed out, live on closed res
ervations, located in unorganized
countries where there are no off
Gals to provide the necessary bal
lots, polling places and other
election facilities.

BOULDER MAN BROWNS
Herman Pope, Former Resort
Owner, Lost Life in Wild
cat Lake.

While guiding a party Of fisher
men on Wildcat lake near Boulder
Junction last week Wednesday,
Herman Pope, a former resort
owner on High lake, lost his life
by the capsizing of the boat. The
Minocqua Times tells of the
drowning:
Herman Pope, Sc, we'll known
resident of Northern Wisconsin,
was drowned in Wildcat lake near
Boulder Junction Wednesday when
a boat in which he and two other
men were fishing capsized. The
other occupants in the boat were
G.. A. Johnson and H. J. Stevens,
guests at Wilson's Wildcat Resort,
both of Milwaukee.
According to the story, one of
the party hooked a big muskel-
lunge. Pope stood up in the boat
to gaff the fish and as he did so
it capsized.
Pope and Johnson attempted to
SWIM to shore while Stevenson
stayed with the boat. When about
Is feet out from shore Pope
groaned and sank. He was found
in rather shallow water on a sand
bar, the body standing in an up
right position. Johnson managed
to reach shore safely.
The body of the unfortunate
man was brought to- the Bolger
undertaking parlors at Minocqua
Thursday and. later taken to
Weyauwega for burial.
Mr.. Pope was well known in
this section spending the greater
part of his life at Boulder juno
ton. He ran summer resort on
High lake for a number of years.

EWALD BUYS BUSINESS
The Toggery Shop Sold Last
Friday to R. R. Ewald by
A. Fl. LaRenzie.

Friday of last week a deal was
closed by r. R. Ewald purchasing
the outftting and tailoring bust
ness which A. H. LaRenzie had
been conducting in Eagle River
for the past twelve or fourteen
years. The purchase was for the
entire stock located on the cor
ner of Wall and Main streets
where Mr.. LaRenzie had located
after the First National Bank
changed locations.
Several months ago Mr.. Ewald
sold his interest in the general
merchandise business which he
and his brother Bruno had been
operating for a number of years,
and he is again in business which
has been built up by Mr.. LaRenzle
in years of square dealing. The
present business embraces gentle
mems furnishing and tailoring and
will occupy the old quarters as
formerly.
Mr.. I.aRenzie will spend some
time in visiting before entering
into some business somewhere
else. He has been a resident OF
Eagle River for nearly twenty
years, coming here when Eagle
River was small village, and has
seen it make strides for the
better.

PROMOTE GOLF COURSE
Plans for Purchase of Dairy
Dollar Farm Near Village
Perfected.

According to John Mitchell and
others interested, public golf
course will be in the making this
winter and work will start in the
spring for the completion of what
IS said to be one of the sportiest
courses in the state.
An option has been taken upon
the ninety-seven acres comprising
the Dairy Dollar farm, lying off
OF highway 20 and along the
shores of Yellow Birch lake and
the river, something over three
thousand feet frontage. S. D.
Austin, the owner has given his
price on the holdings and the
initial payment made by the pro-
motors. Mr.. Mitchell and G. F.
Sanborn are now securing the sig
natures of thirty members and up
to last evening had goodly por-
ton signed up.
According to expert golf men
the topography of the Dairy Dol
lar farm is ideal, none better, say
some for the establishment of a
golf course. Nine holes will be
built the coming summer and
more added as the demand for
playing privileges increases. A
modern club house is contem-
plated along with the summer
coming.
The demand the past season by
players taxed all of the golf
courses in this section. Many ex-
pert players who could not secure
privileges on account of an enor-
nous waiting list, left this sec
ton for that reason alone. Golfers
assert that with another course in
action that there will be no
trouble in it being a paying ven
ture, and such being the case,
there is no reason why this estab-
llshment of another course open
to the general public will not
prove beneficial in every way.

proper months to fill in a vaca-
ton.

Mr.. E. c. Bassett of Joliet Illinois, who is pres
ldent of the Waltonians in that city, touched the
hearts OF every sportsman who heard his talks at
Sayner and at the Resort Owners meeting last
Thursday afternoon and evening. Mr.. Bassett
brought out the facts plain that no real sports
man could help but hear the call in the joining in
with other men and help defend wild life and
forests before it is too late.
He is very able speaker and held his audience
with his discussion of what the League will do for
any organized community if the people will only
educate themselves and their children to the value
and attractveness of this section of the recreation
grounds of America. He pointed out that it was
much better for all concerned if the average
sportsman would bring into little oftener a
pair OF binoculars or camera instead of gun, for
you will be saving life of some animal that is of
use to you and which at the same time really
harms no man; that method will help make this
lake region and county more desirable in the eyes
of the summer and winter visitor. These visitors
here for the sole purpose of seeing some
thing if it is all killed off just for sport" then
the one available asset is lost.
The situation for Villas county looks very
promising for full quota in membership to the
Izaak Walton League Nearly sixty members have
already enrolled and the applications coming
in fast. Mr.. Baer, the secretary, wishes the
nouncement made that cards and buttons will be
sent to those applying for membership just soon
they can be mailed out
The prestige given this section of the lake
region by a wholesale membership of Waltonians
is beyond count and the good that will accrue
will mean much toward better game laws and
better craftsmanship. There is doubt to the
need of some body or organization for the better
protection of what have from the fish and game
hog and general destructionist. 1t means that bet
ter laws will be passed in the state legislature, for
the Izaak Walton League is gaining in membership
in this and other states to such extent that
legislative bodies will have big representation in
members of the League. The cost per year is but
$780, Better join now, or do so when the drive
is put on.

Chain Prevents Fire

If you notice chain dangling
from the rear axle of a truck
hauling gasoline, there is
reason: Such chain is used on
nearly all trucks and automobiles
used for transporting gasoline or
other con1bustible material. 1t is
safeguard against the accumu-
lation of static electricity on the
truck which might result in an
explosion. The chain dragging on
the ground keeps up a continual
connection with the ground, thus
preventing the accumulation Of
any considerable charge Of static
on the metal of the truck.
