Fire Station at CrandOn.

Crandon is to be the headquar-
tiers for the fire prevention district
covering all but two of the north
west townships of Forest county,
half of Florence county, two town
ships in Oconto county and four
townships in Langlade county. The
office and supply rooms will be To-
Gated in the old power house on
the north shore of Metonga lake.
The reason for selecting Crandon
for it's headquarters was on account
of better train, telegraph, and tele-
phone service than in the surround
ing towns.
Four towers Of considerable
heighth are to be built in the dis
trict about Is miles apart. These
towers will be equipped with tele-
phone service, maps and a dial
reading system. In case of fires the
observation towers will send in the
alarm to headquarters at Crandon,
and they in turn will notify the
nearest town of the fire, and all
available help will be summoned.
Tools and frefghting equipment
will Immediately be sent out from
Crandon, thus saving much time.
There is now on hand enough tools
for about $50 men, including a por-
table Evinrude pump and 500 feet
of hose.
The towers will not only be valu-
able in detecting fires before they
become uncomfortable, but will
help in finding the origin of the
fires, and in that way enable the
state to throw the expense back
onto the parties responsible for the
fires.
The fires in that region last
spring covered over 10000 acres
and cost the state over $4,000 for
militia help and local labor. The
loss of timber, animal life, etc., was
much greater.

Wisconsin Will Win.

Expectations for a Wisconsin vic
tory in the Michigan-Wisconsin
boundary case now being fought
out before the United States SUI
preme court have been strengthened
by the stipulation of Michigan that
the Davis and Bird report be in
corporated in the records.
John E. Bird, as attorney general
Of Michigan, and Professor Davis
of Michigan, in 1917 made a survey
Of the territory in question in the
boundary dispute and brought in a
report that Michigan had no case
except perhaps claim to some
small islands in the Menomonie
river The report said further that
the boundary as claimed by Wis
consin in the Montreal region was
correct and that the claims OF
Michigan could not be established.

Eating the Cake.

The competition of motor buses
and trucks and the encouragement
they receive from the public serves
to re-emphasize the old truth that
you can't have your cake and eat it
too.
We can't ride in our own auto
mobiles or in motor buses and ship
our freight in motor trucks and at
the same time expect the same
class of service at the same old
rates from the railroads.
If we insist on the use of the
auto as long as it serves our pur-
pose on short hauls, we will awake
some day, when we need the rail
road to perform a service that the
motor vehicle can't perform, and
discover that the railroad has gone
out of business.
Surely people who have not given
this question any thought-at least
their actions do not indicate it
will apply themselves seriously to
study of the subject some day.
If they ever do, they will use their
influence to see that the railroads
and the interurban lines receive all
of the business it is possible to
give them.
The railroads would sorely be
missed. Without rail lines, we
would soon be in poor straits.
Motor bus and truck traffic in
time is going to be compelled to
pay its share of the wear and tear
on the roads which are built with
tax money. When they do, rates
will be prohibitive if the operators
earn anything at all.
Then shippers and those who do
not depend on their own automo-
biles will turn to the railroads.
Whether the railroads are still
functioning when that day comes,
depends on the kind of treatment
they receive now at the hands of
shippers and travellers.
