LOSS BY FIRE is LARGE
Destruction of Camp High
lands Diningroom and the
Kitchen Totals $4,000.

Fire in some manner destroyed
Friday the mammoth diningroom
and kitchen Of Camp Highland, the
boys camp located on Plum lake,
and which was to have been put to
use within the next two weeks
when the season opened for an
eight-week period. The loss ac-
cording to Alex Higgins, will
amount to around $4,000. Besides
the building and eq6ipment, most
Of the camp supplies just put in
were destroyed.
The floors of the building were
being oiled and it is supposed that
spontaneous combustion caused the
fire.
Camp Highland has been in oper-
alton for many years and has taken
care of some two hundred boys
during the eight week outing per-
iod when the camp is in operation.
New buildings will be rushed to
completion in order to be ready for
the opening the latter part of this
month.

COLD WAVE HITS HARD
Heat Spell More Than Bro
ken Since Sunday; Wealth
er of Zero Cast.

Yesterday and Monday afternoon
overcoats and "woolies" were in
evidence; furnaces were started
full blast and no one hung on the
street corners and spread gossip.
A fall in the temperature together
with a gale of icy winds caused a
decided change in every respect.
Friday and Saturday of last week
it registered 81 and 80 degrees;
Sunday it was an even 80 and Mon
day forenoon along in the SOS.
Monday afternoon about four a
drop was noticed, followed by a
cold blast from the south which
very soon swung into the west with
a colder tang. Then things began
to drop with a bang. Yesterday
forenoon and afternoon the regis
tration was an even so degrees, and
it was an overcoated and BVD-less
individual who travelled outside.

BOY SCOUTS ON OUTING
Learning of Beauties of Wis
consin River Trip From
Here to Rhinelander.

know Your Own State" is the
slogan now being used by outdoor
people of this section-and it is
about time this form of education
was started and carried out. Boys
and girls camps have for several
years been learning Of the beauties
of Wisconsin and have been freely
advertising it to the outside world.
Now it is being used by the boy
scout troops of the state together
with the Y. M. c. A. camps which
are being located in the lake reg
ion each year. This year, according
to the Rhinelander Daily News, a
new stunt is being started by the
Boy Scout troop of that city in
learning of the attractions of the
Wisconsin river from Eagle River
to that city. The News stated last
Saturday;
Eleven Rhinelander Boy Scouts
left this morning for Eagle River,
where tomorrow they will start a
three-day canoe trip back to Rhine
lander.
The scouts, under Raymond Ross
and Darrell Kirk, will use three
canoes for the trip, which will be
through the Eagle chain of lakes
and thence into the Wisconsin
river.
Another trip for the entire TROOP
is planned for next weekend. This
weeks journey is in the nature of 8
path-fnding trip when the scouts
will look over the lay of the land
secure data on the condition of the
lakes and river and probably select
camping sites.

BIG MEETING AT ELCHO
Annual Business Meeting c.
& N. w. Officials of Nor
thern Wisconsin in Session.

The outcome of this years meet
ing of the officials of the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad, which
was held last Sunday at Elcho, was
far better and bigger than any
meeting prior. Every year the
heads of the Northwestern, to-
gether with their representative
heads and employees all over the
Ashland division have held an an
nual business meeting and to this
had invited business men from
most every station point on their
lines in Northern Wisconsin.
Last year this meeting was held
at Eagle River by the officials, the
banquet and business meeting be-
ing held at The Morey on Otter
lake and was a very interesting
meeting in social and business. The
Elch0 meeting, attended by about
seventy railroad men and others,
was sponsored by Chas. w. Fish,
president of the Fish Lumber Com
pany. He gave open house to the
railroad men and their guests all
over the village; housed them for
their business session in the spac-
ious club house, a regular city club
room up in the big woods; fed
them in the main diningroom of
his famous Musky Inn and then
gave them a cross-country run
through Crandon, Hiles and Three
Lakes and back to their special
train at Elcho. Charley Fish is
there" when it comes to entertain
ing, you bet.
This business meeting Of the rail
road men was more in the nature
of a catechism session-learning of
any faults in orders from the main
offices to their agents; whether the
travelling public was being given
the service and treatment in accord
with the policies of that railroad
and if not; why not. The meeting
lasted from $50 until sharp twelve
when dinner was served. From an
outsiders viewpoint and from one
who attended the meeting, this
method of the head officials meet
ing their hired men" on an equal
footing and taking up all the COM
plants and suggestions, means for
better system Of service and
treatment and friendly relations
between all. Democracy seemed to
be the prime feature of this meet
ing and possibly that is why the
Chicago & Northwestern men get
together at least once every year
and Gull out the mistakes and COM
mend those for their assistance to-
ward better organization.

Estes Boosts Outdoor Show.

While L. V. Estes of Chicago was
in Eagle River this week, he went
on record as claiming that the Out
door Show in the Coliseum in Chi
cago, held last May, was one of the
best advertising stunts the villages,
cities and resorts in this section
have ever done to awaken interest
in outdoor recreation. He stated
that on his visit to the show in
May he learned more of real out
door life and the benefits one could
gather in, than in all his travelling
around this big country of ours.
The manner in which the booths
were decorated with replicas of
animal and tree life such as one
finds in the North Woods, and the
intelligent information given out
by the booth attendants; also the
lack of jealousy among the exhibit
tors-all this showed Mr.. Estes
that Northern Wisconsin's man.
moth playground was builded for
the man or woman who really were
lovers of the Big Outdoors and who
desired to summer in a section
where ones cares would be miti-
gated and perfect vacation result.
Mr.. Estes has summer home on
Pickerel lake west of the village.

COMMITTEES WORKING
Legion Endowment Drive is
On in Villas County; Quota
Will Sure Go Over.

Members of the Legion Endow-
ment drive committee, now in ac-
tive work to secure the S605.0O as
Villas county's quota, are meeting
With good success. Yesterday one
loyal American who had sons in the
war, gave his check for $4,000 with
out any solicitation. And this man
is not a regular citizen of Villas
county; he has a summer home,
but he stated to the writer that he
felt it the duty of every American
to give as freely to this Endow-
ment drive as they did when the
Liberty Loans were being filled.
He is right. We sent our boys;
we raised funds freely for them;
we got together the money to
bring them home-then we dropped
them practically and great has
been the suffering not only to the
battle-scarred boys but to families
who lost their provider in protect
ing others. Think of the little
children; the wife, mind you, who
are sick and helpless-yes hungry
m many cases. We who stayed
home should now give once more
and show that our love is still as
warm as when the boys were mo-
billing to go across and when they
were fighting.
This isn't a time to pinch a
nickle or a dollar. The boys did
their bit, and to those sick ones
and those who suffer, it is our
duty to- come across until it hurts.
This endowment will place many
soldiers and their families back in
health, and also will drive away
the terror of starvation and physi-
cal suffering.
Now is the time to "give until
it hurts" just as we were COM
manded during the stirring days of
1917-1918.
Villas county has a perfect record.
She never fell down In time of
need, but went way over the top
with a whoop. Let's go.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE
Somebody From Chicago Is
Sending Out Placards to
Warn Folks OFF Highway

The past week has seen many
posters mailed out to people by an
association signing itself Tourist
Association" and coming from Chi
cago, stating that Highway 10 in
Wisconsin is an awfully bad order
ed highway for motorists. The pla-
card reads:
Warning to Tourists"
Avoid Route No. 10. Wisconsin
highway, between Minocqua and
Hurley. The road is infested with
drunken drivers especially around
Manitowish and Mercer. Numerous
accidents have occurred by these
drunkards colliding with tourists.
There seems to be no desire on the
part of the officials along this
route to curb the nuisance; the
drunken drivers are residents of
the vicinity. Take no chances, use
some other route and avoid this
dangerous stretch"
Tourists Association.
Post in conspicuous place"
This is direct slap at Northern
Wisconsin and comes from source
without any comeback. So far as
can be learned there is no such an
association as Tourist Association
in that city, and it possibly comes
from some half-baked guy who i'm
AGNES many things while having a
cloudburst in his upper dome.
If Highway 10 was really bad
this paper would certainly be with
the association" in curbing moon
hounds and such for the safety of
the public. All that this is, is SIM
ply a slap at that section of the
country which highway 10 covers.
There is no truth in the poster as
to the conditions stated about

A HIGHWAY &c MEETING
Outdoor Show Boosters to
Meet at Amigo Next Week
to Promote This Section in
Whole.

Next week Thursday, June 18TH
possibly a hundred enthusiastic
boosters for this section of the
lake region who will exhibit at the
1926 National Outdoor Life Expo
sition next May in Chicago, will
meet in the city hall at Amigo at
2 o'clock sharp for the purpose of
promoting the biggest publicity
stunt ever advanced by any one
community in Northern Wisconsin
since its inception in the recreation
game.
Invitations will be sent out to
those places Individually and col
lectively interested in the promo
ton Of publicity for traffic and
people who reach out for recreation
and summer outings in general,
and any man or woman who will be
interested in the upbuilding of
this section is asked to join in at
this Amigo meeting whether you
have written or printed invitation
or not. The meeting is for boosters
for summer-winter business.
With upper Highway 20 as the
strong point, together with the
Northwestern road and Highways
1886, the plans will be drafted for
something really worth while in
advertising this sections resources
at the 1926 Outdoor Show. Louie
Maier Of Amigo, one of the best
scouts in the promotion and BOOST
ing line, is heading this movement
together with a large number of
outdoor boosters from Watersmeet
down the line. No one place will
lose its identity in this move, but
every Individual place will be bet
tered and be able individually to
better show their assets by joining
this movement.
Every resort man and business
man needs attend this meeting as
one who is interested. Highway 10
and Highway 13 are pushing for
business and pushing hard; there
fore it is up to this section to beat

the goods and all it needs is the
proper showing.
Meeting is at Amigo next week
Thursday, June 18th, at 2 o'clock

Three Lakes WaIIoped Us.

The Three Lakes baseball team
handed the Eagle River boys a stiff
jolt in the midrif last Sunday when
they defeated our boys on their
home grounds with a score of 8-3.
Our fellows got beat and that is all
there is to it. Some say that most

considering that Three Lakes would
prove an easy victim, but in this
the local boys missed their calcu-
lations. Next time the two teams
