CURBS ARE BEING LAID
Crew Will Finish Curbing
and Start Grading Within
Couple Days.

The two blocks on Wall street
which will be paved with concrete
are assuming definite shape since
c. Johnson & Son started work on
the cutters the latter part Of last
week.
Today there remains but very
little of the concrete curbing to be
finished on Wall street and the
move was made this morning to
Railroad street for the remaining
block. An effort is being made to
have two more blocks concreted
from Knox corner north to the
bridge. The grading of the blocks
will take some time and it will be
within the next ten days until the
laying Of the concrete in the streets
will begin.
Today there is said to be some
sort Of action being taken to have
the two blocks south on Railroad
street also paved, but that when
followed up did not prove anything
definite. Anyhow, Eagle River will
soon have three business blocks
free of it's mud and general dis.
agreeableness.

CLAIM PUBLIC DAMAGE
Income Tax Lists Should Be
Barred From Publishing; Is
Not Considered News.

The publishing of income tax
lists is proving a boomerang rather
than a benefit according to the
general public; it does not fit IN
with cleanliness of purpose, but
rather gives the Paul Prys and the
Tommy Peeps a chance to pander
to their shopping instincts.
A majority of the Michigan
newspapers refuse to publish the
lists, claiming that such publica-
ton is a public damage rather than
public benefit. The Detroit News
asserts that publication would not
assist the government in reaching
tax dodgers but would be of ines
Unable benefit to sharpers, swind-
lers and crooks.
The Minneapolis Tribune declared
that 1T would regard the publica-
ton of peoples income taxes as
news when it regards the publica-
ton Of peoples unpaid bills as

ANGUS COLMAN DROWN
Lost Life in Minnesota Lake
Region Up Near Grand
Marais East of Duluth.

Angus Colman, a son of Mrs
Francis Colman of Duluth and a
nephew to Mr.. and Mrs. N. A. Col
man and r. d. Mcleod and cousin
to Howard Olmstead in Eagle River,
lost his life in East Bearskin lake
in the Minnesota lake region last
week Wednesday. There are no de-
tails given, Mr.. and Mrs. Colman
and Mr.. Mcleod leaving shortly
after the report reached them of
the drowning.
Angus was well known in Eagle
River. He was an expert in swim
ming and most all his life had been
spent out of doors. With one half
of his body practically useless from
infancy, still he was an all-round
outdoor boy and could handle a
canoe with the best of the artists.
He had built himself a cabin near
East Bearskin lake and spent most
of the year in the wilds.
East Bearskin lake lies 100 miles
east and north of Duluth and is in
a wilderness. Angus brother Char
les owns a summer home on this
lake and it was here that Angus
and the Colman family usually
spent the summer season. The
body was recovered and burial was
held from Duluth last Saturday.

DEMOCRATS ARE VEXED
Leaders of Party Uneasy on
Account They Vote for the
Republicans.

Democratic leaders are manifest
ing uneasiness lest their party
members go into the Republican
primary in such numbers as to I'M
peril the nomination of William G..
Bruce, the Democratic nominee.
To be nominated in the Demo
cratic column, Mr.. Bruce must poll
1888 votes, which is equal to 5
per cent of the vote received by
Judge Martin L. Lueck for COVER
nor last year. If Mr.. Bruce receives
fewer than 5 per cent Of the votes,
his name will go into the indepen-
dent column on the general cleo
ton ballot.
If the total vote cast in the pri-
mary is large enough, there is lit
tie question that Mr.. Bruce will re-
ceive a large enough share to nom
mate him, even if many Democrats
vote for one or the other of the Re
publican candidates. If the primary
vote is scant, Mr.. Bruce might be
crowded from the Democrat col
umn.
The danger to Bruce lies in the
possibility of light primary vote
and in the very large vote polled
by Judge Lueck last fall. The
Lueck vote of 1850 was so much
greater than the normal Democratic
party vote that Mr.. Bruce's task
for the primary is perceptibly in
creased.
In 1922 Democratic candidates
were barred from the party ticket
because the two candidates for
governor, Bentley and Mathie,
polled but 1897 votes. As the law
stood then, they were required to
poll 10 per cent of the party
strength, or 24,700, and when they
failed the Democratic nominees be-
came Independents.
The vote polled in the primary
of 1922 is very nearly the number
required in the approaching pri-
mary. The Democratic state GEN.
trail committee will probably issue
an appeal to party members to vote
their own party ticket.

Harrington Not Guilty.

Charles Harrington, bailiff in
Milwaukee county, stopping at the
John E. Sullivan home on Big
Twin, and who has been classed as
having been with Walter Everbach
in a gun stunt week ago at Twin
lake, was in no wise connected
with Everbach when he was arrest
ed week ago for being intoxicated
and using a revolver. The only
connection Harrington had was in
his attempt to stop Everbach from
using the weapon while said to be
under the influence of moonshine
or the real article. Everbach paid
fine of $50 and costs for his out
burst while intoxicated.

Arbutus Inn Entertained at
Formal Opening Sunday
Evening.

A hundred couples attended the
formal opening Of Eagle Rivers
new hotel "Arbutus Inn" last Sun

A FATAL STAG PARTY
One Man Dead; Two Burned
and Bruised When Home
Burned Saturday.

One dead and two badly burned
is the result of a party INDUCED in
by three Finnish farmers some
seven miles east of the village of
Phelps early last Saturday evening.
The dead man is Gust Walilo; the
Injured Oscar Maxi and Anslen
Kivisto.
The tragedy occurred at the Maxi
home in the Smoky lake district
about seven o'clock Saturday even
ing. The three men, Maxi, Kivisto
and Wallilo had congregated at the
Maxi home and started a little
party. IN some manner fire started
in the room and Wallilo, unable to
get outside, was burned to death.
His body was recovered after the
fire had consumed the Maxi home;
and very little was left, fire having
burned all except the trunk. Maxi
escaped with a number of bruises
which he received while assisting
the others to escape. Kivisto was
quite badly burned about the face
and hands. Late reports from him
state that he will recover.
The body of Wallilo was inferred
IN the village cemetery at Phelps
on Labor Day. All of the men re-
side in the Smoky lake district and
have lived there for a number of
years.

EXPECTED GOOD GAME
The MISUNDERSTANDING Ball
Game at Fair Last Friday
Was Pepless.

Just mention ball game to the
fan who was all cooked and PINNED
for real league stuff when Amigo
and Rhinelander were scheduled to
pull one Of their smashing games
at the fair last Friday afternoon
in Eagle River, and you will prob
ably wake up in a hospital. 1t was
one Of the most pepless, unexcit-
ing exhibitions seen here since the
kid teams went out of commission
due to lack of support on account
of their failure to produce real ex-
element necessary to the ball fan.
Rhinelander gave Amigo the
opening in the first inning by al.
lowing five runs to their one. Born,
who pitched for Rhinelander, IS
said to be a mighty fine infield
player, but as a pitcher he is a fiat
tire or something that is useless
when necessary to hold up the re-
quired position. The Rhinelander
manager was asked to put in a
worthy wing artist, but failed to
do so; claimed he was holding his
best man until the Oneida county
fair. That's that. IF he did, he
got walloped when he did put his
wonder in according to the reports
on Mondays game.
The second inning was goose
eggs; third inning brought Amigo
two more runs, totaling seven to
Rhinelander's one. From then to
the end of the game it was goose
eggs for both; the final score being
Z to 1. Here's the showing by
innings:
Amigo: 502 5000 o.
Rhinelander: l 5000 0 0 OIL
To look at the above one would
be led to believe that it was some
game. 1t was; with the accent on
the some" Amigo cannot be
blamed for playing just little
better than Rhinelander, but Rhine
lander can be blamed for being a
pepless and unperspiring bunch of
players. Guess the players are not
to be blamed as much as the man
agement of the team. One Rhine
lander fan who stood on the firing
line offered to pay the 500 fee
necessary to have their really good
pitcher take over the game. Had
this been done, we would have seen
a spirited game and one worth the
money. Both teams have been
playing tight games prior to Fri
day, and Mondays game at the
Oneida county fair showed up with
one score in twelve innings with
Amigo winning.
There you have it.

improvements Necessary.

In making ready for the concrete
curbing on Wall street it was
necessary to remove a number of
shade trees from in front of the
Dunphy-Holzman and Gaffney
properties; trees that had grown
into the history of the village and
which had added beauty to the
place. But it was either leave the
trees and abandon Gifted airs or
else remove them in the step for
ward. We live in a different age;
one that demands improvements
regardless Of what one may wish to
preserve.

FAIR WAS EXTRA GOOD
Villas County Folks Gave
Freely of Their Support to
the Two Days Exhibition.

Weather perfect, good crowds and
enIendid exhibits and attractions
Gave to the annual county fair
eucccssful two-day showing of
what we really have in tangible
assets as an agricultural commun-
itv as we'll as the major portion of
the recreative grounds which the
state of Wisconsin is noted for,
principally the north end, or north
ton or upper half, just as you see
fit to name 1T.
Thursday was devoted to Judging
and was really the first real day of
the three days Of fair attractions
for Villas county. While the po-
tato exhibit was not quite as large
in display, it is claimed that the
exhibits shown in that branch
alone were prize winners if taken
to state fairs and national potato
shows.
Then there were the apples;
where they came from in the coun-
N Of SHOWS and long winters, one
would be compelled to ask his
neighbor who was more conversant
with the apple district. This dis
tIict is now given over to the town
Of Conover, and in the culture of
this fruit those farmers from that
section are sure wizards in apple
culture. For flowers, it needs some
one who can rightfully describe
The showing. Occupying one end
Of the horticultural building, and
banked almost to the ceiling and
even down to the very floors, were
flowers in magnificence. Who won
the prizes will be told next week,
for they are too numerous, and the
Judges even had the time of their
lives in saying just who were the
winners.
The chickens, the hogs, the
sheep, the cattle and everything
else on exhibit were as good as the
best and some were better. And
they were not stingy exhibits at
that.
The attractions given during the
hours of the two days when the
crowds needed livening up were
very good; were Of a class that
promoted good feelings and rather
entertaining in the end. You could
see them a couple times each day
and not become tired. That goes
great way toward keeping a
crowd like one that attends fairs,
upon their toes. The daylight and
nighttime fireworks were excep-
tionally good-in fact the only
thing that slowed up the crowd
was the ball game between Rhine
lander and Amigo. If Rhinelander
had put in bottle of pep and
made snappy stuff for the fans, the
fair would have been unqualifiedly
a success unbroken. Amigo was
ready, but Rhinelander wasn't.
The county fair is a mighty good
thing for any community to have
once a year. 1t makes friendships
and creates a competitive spirit
among the agricultural element
and others likewise.
