Launched Speed Craft.

What is stated to be the swift
est boat yet to be launched in the
Eagle chain of twenty-seven lakes,
is the new speed motor boat of P.
]. Schaefer, which was slipped at
the dock yesterday. Equipped
with a Packard marine engine,
said to be the last thing in mar
inc power, the boat will spin up
to something near sixty miles per
hour-and that's going some and
is a fact at that. Monty Tennes
is having another speed boat for
the chain and it will arrive with
in a few days. It also has some"
speed. Both boats were built at
Detroit and in the trials gave
major satisfaction. The Schaefer
craft is equipped with special
cushioned seats and many other
comfort necessities.

TRIBUTE TO A CITIZEN
Entire Community Assemble
at Pioneer Church to Pay
Last Respects.

SlXty-seven autos were in line
at Pioneer church in the town of
Conover last Thursday afternoon
and followed the body of Mrs.
Hans Hanson to her resting place
in the cemetery located a mile
from the Mannheim school. The
church was filled to capacity, and
never in the history of that sec
ton had there been such a gath
ering of friends and neighbors to
pay their tributes.
The sermon, preached in both
the English and Swedish langu-
ages was an eloquent eulogy to
the life of a sterling woman.
During the years of her residence
in the Pioneer community, Mrs.
Hanson surely builded for herself
and family an honored name. Her
deeds of goodness in community
and church work will long be re-
membered as that of one who
thought not of self but of her fell
low beings.

OWEN is A TRUE SPORT
Judge Asa K. Owen is Given
Honors Due Him for His
Good Work.

There is one man who lives over
in Price county who is now being
given honors due him for his yeo-
man labors in years gone by and
which he now pursues with a vim
and vigor commendable in the
minds of people who appreciate
such labors.
This man is Judge Asa X.
Owen of Phillips. Last week he
was elected president of the Wis
consin Association for Fire Pro
lection, a meeting being held in
Rhinelander last Wednesday. At
the Outdoor Show in May in Chi
cago he was made president of
the National Outdoor Show Asso-
citation. Besides these he served
as the head of the Wisconsin
Game Protective Association; is
head of the Phillips chapter of the
Izaak Walton League, and is also
very active member of the
State Historical Society.
Now he is talked Of as a prom
inent candidate for the republi-
can nomination for Governor of
the state of Wisconsin. And from
what we know he seems to be a
mighty good prospect for that
office being fearless, and a man
of splendid personality.

OPEN SAND LAKE CLUB
One Hundred Sixty Banquet
Saturday Night at the Club
House Dedication.

A special pullman for club mem
bers and their friends passed
through Eagle River for Phelps last
Friday morning for the Eagle
River Hunting & Fishing Club, bet
ter known as the Sand Lake Club,
arriving in that village for break
fast time at their club house on
Sand lake five miles east. There
were over a hundred in the party
coming from Chicago where the
membership gathered.
Every auto had been requisitioned
IN Phelps to transport the party
and there was no hitch in the pro-
gram. At the club that afternoon
and evening open house was given
to the club members and their city
friends. The following evening an
elaborate banquet and dance was
accorded local friends of the club
members and there were seated at
the tables in the spacious dining
room over one hundred and sixty
people.
This gathering was occasioned
for the dedication of the opening
Of their new club house, one of the
largest log structures in the United
States under one roof. To see this
structure is to admire the handi-
work of artisans who really know
what to construct in order to fit
the settings of a North Woods Sec
ton. While the building is far from
ornate, it still has that touch of
rusticity and neat architectural
perfectness one rarely sees in his or
her wanderings. Pen cannot des-
.cribe the beauty of this building,
and it certainly carried with it a
ikeableness and contentment to
those who are privileged to spend
a vacation period at the Sand Lake
Club, either as a member or as a
guest.
Sunday evening the special train
carrying the members and visitors
left for Chicago.

LOWEST STAGE KNOWN
Water in Rivers and Inland
Lakes Recede; Thorough
fares Are Shallow.

Old timers claim it has been
many years since the lakes and
streams have been so low at this
period of the year in the lake re-
gion; claim it is due to lack of
winter SHOWS and spring rains,
and at that they are perfectly
right. Conditions in the chain of
twenty-seven lakes (the Eagle
chain are such that most of the
thoroughfares in the upper chain
(the Three Lakes end) are so low
that power boats of any material
draft cannot navigate with safety.
In the lower chain, which has
deeper channels between bodies of
waters, the condition is such that
care must be exercised in opera
ton of speed boats.
Take the inland lakes for in
stance. Most every one now show
wide sandy beach around the
lake shore and while it does not
harm fishing it gives the lakes a
strange appearance and many lose
their bearings when visiting some
of these bodies. Of course, no
one is materially to blame except
the weatherman and it is up to
him to make the change in or
der to receive the gratitude of the
lover of waters and woods.
Fishing is said to be much bet
ter on account of the lower stage
of water. Just how true that is,
we do not know-and none of the
old timers dare state whether it is
facts or fancies.

OBSERVED MEMORIAL
Fitting Tribute to American
Heroes Given Saturday in
Eagle River.

There was never a larger audi
ence of people congregated on
Memorial Day than that of last
Saturday when Villas county folks
collected at the cemetery to rem
der a tribute to those who had
lost their lives during the wars in
which we were involved.
During the hours of service,
from $50 to / o'clock, every bust
ness house and manufacturing es-
tablishment, with the exception of
a few, closed their places of bust
ness and gave of their time and
thoughts to the memory of the
men who had served their coun-
try. Places which were kept open,
might surely have closed their
doors for the time allotted for OBJ
servance of the day; or for that
matter closed entirely during the
national holiday. If it was a mat
ter of business necessity, then
their remaining open might be
we'll overlooked after the hours
of observance had passed.
The PROGRAM at the cemetery
was a beautiful one and with a
perfect day brought together a
multitude who appreciated the
thoughts brought out to us of
what such a day really was for.
