Cuts Thousand Ice Cakes.

Ingenuity among the people Of
this North Woods in order to
escape many of the hardships of
everyday work, calls for common
dation quite frequently and in
some cases caused many to doubt
the veracity of the writer. How
ever, most everything can be
backed up, even those stupendous
tales of the exploits of Paul Bun
yam of early northland fame.
This is ice making time, and in
ord er to escape the laborous
method of hand saving all of the
cakes necessary to fill the average
ice house at some summer resort,
w. j. Radue of Pickerel Lake re-
sort on the above named lake
southwest of Little st. German,
devised "riggin" that would do
away with the slowness of the
man-method of saving out the big
blocks. He takes a Ford engine,
mounts it upon sled, fits a cir
cular saw with a belt attachment
to the engine and sled, and then
proceeds to saw his ice by the
simple method of showing the
motor contraption over the ice
field. Gas and saw does the rest.
A days work will put in condition
for hauling a clean thousand cakes
of ice running around twenty
inches thick and the same num-
Der of inches each other way. The
fellows in the st. German country
are having an easy and inexpen-
sive method of putting up next
summers supply of ice.

EXPLOIT NORTH WOODS
c. t. Dryz Putting on Two
Weeks Exhibition of Foxes
and Wild Life in Chicago.

Y. L. Dryz, owner of Dryz Silver
Fox Ranch located nine miles
northeast of Eagle River shipped
a number of silver black foxes and
other animals from his ranch last
Friday for exhibition in Chicago.
Along with the animals went a
carload of evergreen trees and
plant life for the purpose of show
ing a real wild exhibit coming
from the lake region, and which
will run in Chicago downtown dis
trict for the next two weeks. The
exhibit will be at 65 West Monroe
street, and begins January 18th.
Dryz expects to make this ex-
hibit a fore-runner of a monster
one which he will put on at the
Outdoor Show next May, that show
carrying on for a full week in the
Coliseum. Last year he exhibited
foxes on a smaller scale and even
at that found that it was an added
attraction and incentive to attract
attention to the silver black fox
industry.
This section of Northern Wis
consin has many silver black fox
ranches and all seem to be doing
a mighty good business. The quail
ity of the animals on the many
ranches are said by experts to be
above the average Of any other
section where fox raising is made
a business.

SAYS FOUR FEET SNOW
Eighty Year Indian at FIam-
beau Claims He Never Has
Made Mistake in Weather
Predictions.

Charley HeadAyer, an 80-year-old
Lac du Flambeau Indian has given
weather prediction for the bal
ance of the winter to a reporter on
the Rhinelander New North. Ac-
cording to his predictions. based
upon years of forecasts the re-
mainder Of the winter in the North
Woods will be a tough one on ac-
count of the great depth of snow.
He tells the following:
There will be very little cold
weather during the remainder of
the winter, but a lot Of snow, ac-
cording to the prediction Of Char
ley Headfiyer, Lac du Flambeau
Indian, whose reputation as a
weather prophet extends through
out northern Wisconsin. He says
he expects to see four feet of snow
in the north woods before spring.
Those who have heard Headfyer's
prognostications for many years
claim that the old Indian seldom
has been wrong. He says there
are certain signs, which he declines
to reveal, which foretell the wealth
err many months in advance. 1t is
said that he predicted the cold
weather of December.
Headfyer is nearly so years of
age, but does not appear older
than so. He is as straight as an
arrow, as supple as an athlete and
his hair is only slightly tinged
with gray He declares that his
mother lived to be 103. Headfyer's
grandmother was a French woman
and he claims to be a descendant
of Solomon Juneau, the founder of
Milwaukee. For many years he
has followed farming at which he
has been very successful. His farm
near Lac du Flambeau, where he
maintains fine herd of dairy cat
tie is netting him substantial re-
turns. In addition he does con-
siderable trapping during the win
ter months.
When asked the secret of his
ability to keep young" Headfyer
replied that he has always worked
and in fact is working harder to-
day than ever before. 1t is his con-
tention that when a man stops
work, be he young or old, he soon
rusts and lessons his years on
earth. According to Headfyer's
own statement he is in as good
condition both physically and
mentally, as when he was 81 years
of age.

Marion Failed to Win.

Again the Eagle River team won
IN basketball, making their 1907
title of this district safe in last
Friday nights game at the gym.
Marion, considered hard men to
defeat, went down in fairly easy
style to the home boys by a score
of 20 to II. Part Of the Marion
team were men from last year, and
pitting our all-new team against
fellows who have been playing the
larger towns such as Wausau, and
giving them hard shake for the
money, was running it rather
close. But we have team of
youngsters who play ball like old
timers and so far have been there
with the grit and winning power.

Resident sof Three Lakes for
Pas Thirty-three Years

AT the age of sixty-four years

past thirty-three years. Death oc-
Cured Sunday forenoon. Burial

Mr.. Beach was born in Beach
burg, Canada and at the age of
five years came to Winneconne,
Wisconsin, where after a residence
of two years the family moved to
Since, Waupaca county. Here he

family by farm labor. In 1891 he
came to Three Lakes and took up
"a homestead of 100 acres in the
town of Three Lakes on which he
lived for five years. While resid-
ing there he formed a partnership
with his brother Wesley and pur-
the Butternut resort (now the
Rasmussen RESORT which they con
Quoted for five years. Buying his
brothers interest he operated it
himself for a like period, then sell
ing out entirely. Moving to Three

city for five years. In 1915 he be
came custodian of the Three Lakes
grade and high school which posi-
ton he held at the time of his
death.

Grind Even in Zion.

Again the traditions of Zion
City, ILL.,, have been shattered. For
years this community, founded by
the late John Alexander Dowie as
the home exclusively of the reIig-
ious sect of which he was the head,
resisted the setting up within it
OF anything not planned and pro-
NOTED by Dowie or his successor,
Wilbur Glenn Volivia. Finally a
fighting Methodist parson invaded
the place and after several at
tempts and in the face of great
obstacles organized church and
secured a permanent meeting place.
Now a secret society has just been
formed there, holding it's first
meeting in the Methodist place of
worship and finding its members,
as the church had done, among
those who to some extent have be-
come liberated from the overseer's
strict control. Even in Zion City
the mills of the gods are grinding.

CHICAGO WILL BE DARK
During Eclipse January 24th,
Street and Building IlIumi-
nation Necessary in Day
Time.

The greatest solar eclipse since
1869 will envelop Chicago with an
nky blackness, Saturday, January
"a, authorities at the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, University of Chicago,
announced last Thursday.
When the sun rises at I'll a. M,
it will be partially obscured by the
moon, and nineteen-twentieths of
the surface will be covered during
a portion of the time.
Full illumination of the streets
and buildings will be required, the
savants state. It will last until
after eight o'clock. Not more than
half a dozen times since the
Christian era has there been a
total eclipse and most of those
occurred long before civilization
touched Chicago, director Edwin
B. Frost declares. The last total
eclipse occurred in 1906 and there
will not be a recurrence for two
centuries he declares.
Regions near Chicago will be
affected partially by the eclipse.

Have Less Work to Do.

Cease advertising if you would
lessen the duties that are now de
volving upon you.
The dealer who doesn't adver-
tise doesn't have to sweep out his
store so often in muddy weather
neither does he have to visit the
receiving teller's window at the
bank; he does not have to go look
ing for his daily exercise, he gets
plenty of it in side-stepping bill
collectors; he does not have to
bother about making a will be-
cause the sheriff usually beats him
to it.
Even a small adj in the local
paper will work wonders, and if
advertising is consistently carried
on the dealer will be agreeably sur
prised at the wonderful results
produced.
The man who argues that adj
vertislng is an expense which must
be charged up to the consumer is
usually a fellow who does not adj
vertise. Generally his prices are
just trife higher than those of
the main who does advertise, and
it is frequently the case that his
stock does not turn as often as it
should. He is selling last years
goods this season.-Implement and

They Were Showed In.

Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Merkle write
the News from their Chicago home
that they spent the first of Dec
ember at their new cottage on Bal
lard lake near the village of Star
Lake, and from the tone of the
letter will be anxiously waiting
until the roads break in the spring.
Seems as though it is novelty for
the Merkles to be caught with
their car in the North Woods, and
1t is safe bet that they will not
miss many December trips from
now on. Now they have put it up
to the News to give them authentic
data Just as soon as the highways
are open for spring travel by car,
and If our foot slips on prognosti-
cations, then war is declared. The
Merkles are not the only ones who
are watching for the breaking of
spring, and it is sure bet that
city folks will make this land of
evergreens just as soon as the
roads open. And you can't blame
them. To any person who has to
spend winter in Chicago a PEN
sion should be granted them.

tain Lands, High Commissioner of

CONSERVATION FUNDS
displacement of Sportsmen's
Resources, License Monies
for Instance, a Detriment
to State.

In speaking of the half million
dollars collected annually from
sportsmen, trappers and CONNER
cial fishermen, the Milwaukee Jour
nal tells why we have very little
of that money returned for con-
servation purposes. 1t says:
Consider the conservation COM
mission. In 1924 it collected, from
sportsmen, trappers and CONNER
cial fishermen, more than a half
million dollars. 1t expended less
than half that sum to preserve
Wisconsin's forests and waters.
Why should sportsmen, fisher
men and trappers pay more than
$500,000 into the states treasury
and then see their forests, their
game, their fish, their wilderness
and aquatic life perish for lack of
protection?
Why should a big majority who
are not sportsmen, fishermen or
traprers see their outdoor resources
decline when a half million dollars
IS paid yearly-bur not used-to
protect them?
One reason that the conservation
commission hasn't money enough
to pay wardens, fish culturists and
foresters who could perpetuate the
states out of doors is that the
state takes in the money paid by
the sportsmen but doesn't pay it
out for conservation. 1t is sunk"
IN the general treasury. 1t doesn't
go back to the conservation COM
mission, to be used for protection.
Instead it goes to pay for roads or
schools or postage or what not
especially what not.
A man taxed to hunt, pays for a
special privilege as does he who
pays to trap wilderness creatures
or take fish from the states
waters. Such special taxes are
JNoClitSN IL CiiSy SO W preserve Inc
resources on which they draw.
Those who pay are entitled to re-
investment, so they may get some
thing for their money. But more
especially, the big majority that
neither hunts nor fishes is entitled
to this special fee so that the for
ests and waters and their denizens
won't be exterminated by the min
GRITTY. The majority has right
to expect that the special taxes
will be used to perpetuate the
scenic beauty and the wilderness
life that is the out of doors of
Wisconsin.
During this session of the legis-
lature efforts will be made to give
the funds that are collected from
trappers, fishermen and sportsmen
over to the conservation commits
sion to be used, in whole, for con-
servation. Those efforts ought to
have the support of the entire
state.
