Sentemher Rlneherries.

Not often does nature give a
second crop of blueberries, but it
certainly has made the attempt
this fall for we have on our desk a
bunch of full-grown bushes in
bloom and some partly formed ber-
ries. Mrs. Webb Morris discovered
this patch near their Morris resort
The Pines, On Swamp lake south
west of Eagle River some fourteen
miles. Seems that Swamp lake
section is a prolific country; it
grows big walleyes and other kinds
of fish; big deer and now it shoots
ahead with second crop of blue
berries. The evidence being fur
nished there is no comeback by the
specifically inclined The old say
ing that anything you want for in
the North Woods can be produced,
is sure no misnomer.

FOR AUTUMN TOURISTS
September and October Are
"Glory Months" in Lake
Region.

A few years ago autumn tourists
were unknown in northern Wiscon-
sin, but since then the public has
awakened to the fact that the real
vacation period comes in Septem-
Der and October. Few people real
ize that these two months show all
the glory and beauty of northern
Wisconsin's lake region. There are
no mosquitoes or flies, and fish of
every variety strike better during
this period.
Seventy-five per cent of the sum-
mer resorts are open for the recep-
ton of guests and those who know
the advantages to be had in these
two months generally take advan-
tage of them.
The trees are changing color and
come out in all their glory, show
ing all the glorious colors to be
seen in the autumn.
Traffic not being so heavy during
these two months, many wild ami
mails will be seen along the high
ways.
The days are warm during these
two months, but most nights are
very chilly, and the ideal way to
spend vacation during this period
is to sleep at summer resorts every
night. Those who insist on camp
ing must provide themselves with
ample covering, as every night is
cool and nipping.
More muskies, pike and bass are
caught in northern Wisconsin dur
ing September and October than in
any other two months in the year.
No real fisherman misses these two
months, regardless of how often he
has been in the northern region
throughout the summer.
The year 1925 being closed sea-
son for deer, there will be many on
the highways in the thinly settled
districts, as tourists even in the
summer months, have reported see
ing hundreds of deer along the
highways.
There are approximately 1000
summer resorts in Wisconsin and
at least one-half of these will be
open for tourists and hunters until
late in the fall, and few cater to
tourists the year round Hurley

Residents on That Lake Are
Floating. Golf Club by Pur-
chase of 100 Acres.

The property owners and resorts
on Big Bass lake, about nine miles
east Of Eagle River, have just
about closed the deal for the pur-
chase of over a hundred acres of
land owned by Robt. Simmons and
G. w. Bliss on the shores Of that
lake, expecting to start work in the
building Of 9-hole golf course.
The lay Of this property on the
north and east shores of Big Bass
is adapted to a real sporty course
and an effort will be made to get
the proposition under way at once
in order that the grounds may be
put in shape for playing within a
year.
The project is being financed by
residents of the Big Bass lake dis
trict, and big sum of money is
already subscribed toward the golf

FINED FOR MOONSHINE
Land o Lakes Parties Taken
Into Court Charged With
Handling Illicit Stuff.

Mrs. Raymond Teal of Land O.
Lakes was brought into court last
week Tuesday charged with selling
moonshine. She was bound over
to circuit court under $500 bonds.
On Thursday A. G. Shutta of the
same village paid a fine of $3.50 and
costs for the same charge.
The Shutta place was searched by
federal officers and eight and a
half gallons of moonshine found.
The Shutta and Teal places are just
east Of the railroad track in the
village of Land O Lakes. A new
place recently started was at Mos
quito hill a couple miles southeast
of Land O Lakes just off highway
rs where the highway construction
camps are located, better known as
the gravel pits at Mosquito hill. On
the opening night a week ago Off
GERS raided it but found no evil
dence of illicit selling at the time.
1t is very frequently that intoxi-
Gated Indians are found along high
way rs from the Michigan line
south to the Wisconsin river bridge
just out of Land O Lakes.
Joseph Stepanski was arrested
for having moonshine for sale, he
operating from the John McGorn
place located down the Eagle river
below the Observation-Disclosures saw
mill about a mile from Eagle River.
He was bound over to circuit court
and is now in Jail in default of bail.
In court this week was Ignatz
Juncovich, a settler from the Nine
Mile district east Of town some
nine miles. He was committed to
Jail for ten days, charged with
beating his wife.

DUCK HUNTERS HUNT
Few Ducks Being Brought in
On Account of Summer
Weather and Heat.

Until the weather cools off and
storms stir up the home ducks and
bring down from the north the fall
flight, there is going to be some
mighty poor hunting by the duck
sportsman. Hot MINDLESS days right
now don't mean anything to the
home ducks, except to cause them
to hang around their feeding
grounds and grow fat for the flight
down south. The opening day last
Wednesday produced very few
ducks, although there are plenty of
the birds in the pot-holes and
creeks and rice ponds, but out of
reach of the man with the inclina-
ton and the ammunition.
It warns mans blood to sneak
up to some favored feeding ground
and scare up hundreds of big fat
mallards- all out of reach of his
gun-watch them circle around the
lake several times and then alight
too far away for a shot to reach
'em. To the man who loves nature
and wild life there is no more ener-
getic and exhilarating sport than
that of duck hunting; it puts more
thrills into his body than any other
one method of hunting.
When the fall flight drops down
for a stop-over, then is when the
guy with the gun and dog and de-
coys misses his regular meals and
freezes himself while holding down
a wind-blown point on some wide
lake, waiting for a chance shot. It's
the life, Bo; it's the life.

BRUNSWICK LOST BARN
Heavy Fire Loss TO Farmer
and Dairyman When His
Buildings and Stock Burn
Monday.

Mondays fire loss to E. F. Bruins
wick, owner of Loon Lake Farm a
couple miles southeast of Eagle
River, is very heavy one, with but
a portion of the loss covered by in
surance.
During the noon hour fire broke
out in the large barn wherein was
stored this falls crop of hay and
that together with two head of
horses and all that the building
contained burned completely. Fire
then took the machine shed and
garage and burned one of two silos
attached to the barn. One of the
silos had been filled and the other
was to have been started in the at
ternoon when the fire occurred.
Most all the farm machinery in the
sheds was destroyed.
When the door to the stable part
was opened after the discovery, the
fire had eaten through the upper
floor; it was then impossible to get
out the horses. A sad part of the
fire was the burning of mother
dog and her litter of baby puppies
who were housed in a stall near the
team.
The loss is a heavy one, the barn
being a large structure and built
some years ago when the Persohns
owned the farm. With all the feed
stuff burned it will mean an added
loss on account of Mr.. Brunswick
operating dairy farm with a big
herd of cows and young stock.

WAS EXTRA HEAVYR RAIN
At Buckatoban Lake Satur-
day Nights Rainfall Regis
tered Three and a Half
Inches.

Saturday nights storm brought
an abundance of rain to this Sec
ton and has put a stop to the
drought which has held us all the
year. Beginning early in the morn
ing with continued drizzle it
reached a climax at seven in the
evening with "a veritable cloud
burst.
For a period of two hours the
rainfall was terrific and traffic was
halted by the flood of water on the
highways and side roads. Many
cars were put out of commission
by being drowned" and it was a
case Of getting drenched to the
skin if your car was an open one.
People were compelled to seek shell
ter until the storm stopped.
With the storm came the two
cyclones which created much dam
age in the northern part Of the
county. At Buckatoban lake west
of Conover there was registered
over three and half inches of
rainfall in the short period of the
storm. At Eagle River it was Jess
than three inches and the streets
were flooded, the sewers being I'M
able to care for the flood.
The condition now in the chain
of lakes reservoir is such that with
the proper conservation of water
at the dam, there will be no danger
Of a shortage during the winter
and enough will be kept in store to
insure sufficient head until the
spring rains start.
This section never experienced
such a curtailment of water as
during the past summer and spring.
At one period this summer an en-
tire shutdown of the power plant
was imminent, and to continue to
carry on operations it was neces-
sary to break out beaver dams and
bring down the reserve of water
which had been stored by beavers
1t was question of water and but
for those storages and what little
was given from reservoirs above
us, Eagle River would have been q
closed town as far as power and
light was concerned.

ing no other boat near, assistance
could not be given Immediately.

into manhood. He was one of the
mainstays at the farm home and

brother to assist was building a
future business in farming. He
leaves a father, mother and sew

Sidewalks to Cemetery.

An addition of concrete walks
from the Shattuck home east to
the cemetery is being made and
this will be of material benefit to
those who make the trip to the
cemetery other than with car.
The walk is built on the north side
OF highway 1852. The building
that is going on in the east end of
town warrants the addition.

to support Champ" Clark, but when
the convention deadlocked and the
Tammany delegates swung over from
Underwood to Clark, Bryan swung his
forces to Wilson and gained the lat.
ter's nomination.
What Bryan Stood for.
These are the things Bryan stood
for year by year, during his reign:
1894.
A graduated income tax
Federal license for corporations.
Government operation of telegraphs
and telephones.
A double monetary standard.
Tariff for revenue only.
Election of Senators by popular
vote.
The president to be ineligible for
reelection.
Majority vote to override a Presi-
Dental veto.
Popular election of all federal
judges.
Limitation of the term of all fed
eral judges. go.
A three-fourth jury verdict in civil
cases.
The initiative and the referendum.
1896.
Free silver.
ti-imperialism-no colonies for
the United States.
1906.
Government ownership and opera
ton of railroads.
The eight-hour day. e
1907.
Government guarantee of national
bank deposits.
A postal savings bank.
1908.
Annihilation of the trusts.
1911.
Prohibition.
Publicity for campaign contribu-
tions.
World peace by international arbi-
tration.
1915.
A referendum on war.
Time won for Bryan quite a few of
these issues. Others are still issues.
Some are dead beyond recall.
Later in life he left Nebraska and
bought a home in Florida, becoming a
citizen of that state and taking hand
in its politics.

ed in marriage in 1884, and gave Bry-
an a wife and a great helper in his
political life all in one. Three years
later, Bryan, called to Lincoln, Neb.,
on business was so impressed with
the beauty of the city that he made
plans for moving there.
Enters Public Life.
Bryan now entered into public life
by becoming an active worker for the
Democratic organization and going to
the state convention as delegate.
Bryan was elected to congress in the
campaign of 1890.
Bryan's activity in congress won
him a place on the ways and means
committee and then came another i'm
portant event in his career as public
speaker. This was his tariff speech,
delivered March 16, 1892.
He now aimed higher and after re-
fusing to be candidate for re-elec-
ton to the house in 1894 announced
that he would run for the senate.
This campaign gave Bryan his first
real taste of defeat, but did not dis
hearten him. The Republican land
slide wiped away his efforts and his
opponent, Thurston, was elected.
In the fall of 1884, Bryan entered
upon newspaper work as chief of the
editorial staff of the Omaha World
Herald, giving much of his time to
this work, until the national conven-
tion of 1896.
At this time, Bryan also branched
out as a lecturer, ard in addition to
his speechmaking on behalf of the
Democratic party he took up Chautau-
qua work. This was the real begin
ming Of his travels over the United
States.
Then came the presidential cam
paign of 1896 and the Chicago Demo-
cratic national convention.
Bryan, after his second defeat for
President, started "The Commoner," a
political magazine, at Lincoln, which,
with his lectures, writing and news
paper work, gave him comfortable
fortune.
The Baltimore Convention.
After Bryan's defeat by Taft in 1908,
the presidential campaign of 1912
brought Bryan into the public eye
again.
AS the head of the Nebraska dele
CATION, Bryan went to the Democratic
national convention with Instructions

LAWYERS.

Clarence barrow rises to remark
that, while criminal lawyers are of
ten looked down on, they probably
have less on their souls than the aver
age civil lawyer"
Because, unquestionably, many a
scoundrel has escaped jail through
the activity Of a clever lawyer, many
of us are inclined to have poor
opinion of such attorneys.
But remember this: for every Grim
inal who has escaped prison because
of criminal lawyer, there is an al
most-legal financier who was enabled
to lay his hands on other peoples
property through some civil lawyer.
Maybe Mr.. barrow isn't so far
wrong at that.
