M'CULLOUGH'S COURSE
A Portion OF, "Suits Us" Farm
on the Wisconse to be Built
into Public Golf Course.

TO anyone acquainted with the
lay of the land around the McCul-
Tough farm several miles down the
Wlsconse river below the power
plant, and to a golf enthusiast the
building Of course on this farm,
it will be readily seen that with a
good course put in shape there will
be an added incentive to the guests
who favor the resorts on the lakes
in that section, some thirteen or
fourteen in number.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. G. Mccullough
have for the past three years
quietly been placing a big tract of
their Suits Us" farm in condition
For the building Of a large golf
course. This farm land now trans
ferred to golf service is said to be
ideal. 1t lies along the Wisconse
river at the rugged part of Otter
rapids, some three miles below the
power plant, or seven miles south
west Of Eagle River. The farm
comprises over two hundred acres
and the choice land will be used
for a public golf course which the
McCulloughs will finish for next
years playing.
Lying close by are numerous re-
sorts whose guests must travel
miles to reach a place where they
may play. The course will be in
close proximity to Little st. Ger
main and it's nearby lakes and also
but a short distance from Sand,
Dam and Swamp lakes on the SUI
gar Camp chain, together with Ka-
than lake and Muskellunge. This
course will be privately owned and
be operated for the use of the gen
eral public with the proper restric-
lions necessary. The name chosen
is Otter Rapids Golf Course" 1t
will start out with nine holes and
be enlarged as time passes and
necessity demands.

WILL BE ONE MEETING
October Meetings of Walton
ians and Resort Owners to
be a Combined One; Hold
in Eagle River.

Officers Of both associations, the
Villas County Chapter, lzaak Wal
ron League of America and the Re
sort Owners Association, have
damned to hold a joint meeting IN
Faole River some time in October.
When the meeting is held there
Win also be added the meeting of
Inner Highways 26-32-55 Associa-
ion. at least that is the intention
IF Il can be carried out, and there
ie no reason why it cannot be done.
Most every fall the meetings of
tbo two associations are held and it
means that the members of both
gro compelled to travel the same
road twice to reach an objective
which one meeting could very
nasiIv handle Both associations
Are practically in touch direct with
each other and the memberships
contain practically the same men
and women. One big banquet will
serve both and better results can
be obtained.
viii Dig, president of the Nat
ional association Izaak Walton Lea
cue, will be the principal attrac-
lion; he is a common ordinary man
with the welfare of the wild life Of
America foremost in his heart. He
is very convincing speaker and
when he can hold an audience of
several thousand for a space Of two
hours, he is we'll worth the coming
to hear at the association meetings.
He will also bring with him several
reels of motion pictures showing
wild life conservation and propa-
cation. This will be shown at the
Eagle Theatre after the banquet at
Arbutus Inn.
The calling of the meeting Of
Upper Highways 26-32-55 associa-
ton with the other two associa-
tons will be the knitting together
of ideas which are synonymous as
they work toward the same end but
in different methods. The Upper
Highways association is builded of
all the districts and villages along
26-32-55 from below Amigo and
Crandon up to and including Wa
tersmeet, Michigan, for the pur-
pose of exploiting one of the big
gest advertising stunts at the Ma
tional Outdoor Show at Chicago
next May. 1t means the combining
of all recreational interests of the
dozens of towns along these routes
and the Northwestern railway also,
and in this manner the thousands
who attend the show in May from
Chicago and other cities will see
the placing of this district upon a
scale that will bring manifold re-
suits.
just keep this in mind and when
the dates are set then make plans
to attend.

Editor in Responsible Position.

William Allen White, editor OF
the Emporia, Kansas, Gazette,
classes newspapers as public utili-
ties.
"A newspaper" he says, SIS
affected with a public interest as
much as the street car, the tele-
phone, the gas or electric plant and
all other utilities.
AN editor is really a trustee en-
titled to his profits, if they are
clean and decent, to the fullest ex-
tent that they may make them, but
not entitled to make his profits at
the community's loss.
Unless he can give the public
some valuable thing-information,
guidance or entertainment-he has
no right to his profits"
He concludes that "a newspaper
is certainly a public utility

CAUGHT WOLF AND CUB
Powell Man Takes Mother
Timber Wolf and Cub Alive
in Traps in West Part of
County.

When Gootfried Woollin, Of Pow
ell, visited his traps one day last
week he found a year-old timber
wolf and her cub caught in the
steel jaws. They were very much
alive and the young man decided to
keep them in captivity rather than
kill them and secure the bounty.
Accordingly, he made cage and
Mrs. Wolf and Cub Wolf were pro-
vided with a new home. This task
Of transferring the captives from
the traps to the cage was not car
ried out without some discontinue,
however, for Gootfried was severely
bitten about the hands. Last We'd
nesday the wolf trapper appeared
at the county clerks office in Hur-
ley and announced that he would
endeavor to dispose Of his captives
to zoo. He went to Wakefield
with the intention of trying to in
terest the officials there. The Open
Pit city has a start in the way of a
zoo, having had two bears in cap
tivity for some time. Whether
the Powell young man was able to
convince the Wakefield city Off
Gals that his captives would look
good in that city's near zoo has not
yet been learned. Failing in his
mission no doubt he would decide
to kill the animals and claim the
bounty-Iron County News.
