WASHINGTON MOTORISTS, DENIED
BEACHES HERE, SEEK RESORTS
Improved Roads, Bathing and Fishing Facilities
attract Thousands to Chesapeake Bay.
Ne,u Hotel Started.

Thousands of Washington motor
lists are seeking the cooling breezes
of nearby. water resorts. With public
bathing facilities restricted in the
District of Columbia, devotees of the
surf are retreating to more distant
beaches.
The nearest salt water bathing to
Washington is at Herring Bay on
the hesapeake, 35.7 miles by The
Stars special tours route. AS a re-

temporarily abandoning the luxuries
of daily life.
Having decided upon the sort of
camping you are going TO do. the sue
ceeding steps are relatively simple
even though you may never have had
any experience with this great and
growing fad. For, il you have taken
your camping trip in your minds eye
and have seen the possible pitfalls
through error and misjudgment, there
is no reason why you should fail to
make preparations for the sort of mo-
tor camping you are going TO do,
avoiding the common mistake of
ina gining that camping is all cut
from the same pattern.
Your camping can be different from
the rest. 1t can even be better, even
If You are just joining the ranks of
those who are finding the way back to
nature via gasoline.

WAS DISTRICT MEETING
State Telephone Association
Met at Wausau Monday
Tuesday.
Maybe it has; who knows.

Wausau has been named by Pres
ident Burt Williams of Wisconsin,
the Land O. Lakes, Inc, as the city
where the fall meeting Of the asso-
citation will be held on October Ia,
it was announced recently by E. o.
Barstow, secretary.
The meeting, the third annual
gathering of the association, prom
Uses to be the most successful in
the organizations history, accord
ing to Mr.. Barstow, who said every
effort is being made to draw up an
interesting program.
Although conflicting with the
meeting of the Izaak Walton lea
que scheduled for Green Bay on
the same day, it is believed that a
large attendance will be found at
the Wausau Observation-Disclosures

HAD BEAR AS VISITORS
Paid Calls to Morey Resort
Guests and Players on the
Eagle Waters Golf Course.

The Donald Fraser residence and
The Morey resort were favored
with visit from a mother bear
and her offspring early yesterday
forenoon. The female bear was
first seen within hundred feet of
Mr.. Fraser's residence on Otter
lake and within a short time she
ambled onto the Morey lawn and
gave the guests a chance to see
bear in the native element without
having to pay any admission price.
A short time before a cub was seen
on the opposite side of the thor
oughfare from the resort, but it
failed to navigate the water to
where it's mother was visiting.
About the same time yesterday
forenoon over at the Eagle Waters
Golf course players were astonished
to see a grown bear ambling over
the fairways as though he was
deeply interested in golf. All the
players had splendid view of the
animal before it took to the timber
and disappeared.
Some years ago a bear invaded the
Bowen pigpen some short distance
from the above resort. Mrs. Bowen
cleaned house with the bear by
lamming it over the head with a
broom, putting it to rout without
any comeback. At this time of the
year a bear takes the notion of go
ing off on a vacation and it is
nothing unusual to hear Of them
being a visitor in the settled com
munities. They are absolutely harm
less, never having been known to
attack a person; rather will they
turn tail and put distance between
themselves and a man in hurry.
This can be proven by S. d. War
rem, who tells a great bear story in
which he was a spectator along
about the first of September. And
that story has been improving with
the telling, bullieve me.

MAKE HIGHWAY CUT
Next Year Highway rs Be-
tween Sucker Lake and
Reeds Corner Will Be
Built.

Beginning next year a portion of
highway 26 north of Eagle River
will be abandoned as a state trunk
and another new section substi-
tuted which will shorten the mile
age between Eagle River and Con-
over by several miles and at the
same time pass up a sink-hole
which is now part Of the highway
a mile north of Sucker lake.
From Sucker lake north highway
rs crosses two swamps and makes a
roundabout way back toward the
railroad and Conover. One of these
swamps is a sink-hole and has been
causing trouble ever since the
highway was builded. Again it is
rather a. dangerous piece of road
bed and many cars have taken to
the muck on account of the mar
row roadbed and the soft condition
of the bottom and sides. Starting
in just north of Sucker lake where
the swamp begins the new roadbed
will keep straight north along the
Northwestern track and follow it
with slight deviation to the east
until it meets the private farm
road Of Peter Hedeen. 1t will pass
near his home and then join the
main highway at Reeds corners, a
mile west of the Reed school.
By building the highway over
this route, a solid footing for the
roadbed will be obtained and there
will be besides the lessening of
mileage a better and more level
stretch of road obtained. Survey
ors have worked this out and it is
a mighty good change. The old
portion of highway 26 will be made
into town road, and the portion
crossing the two swamps will be
closed to traffic. People living on
the Chicago Avenue" highway will
meet up with the new stretch to
the west in distance of about a
quarter of a mile. It will be of
great benefit by making this change
and mean much in the safety to
traffic.

Rain Stopped Concreting.

With but a half block of con
creting to be done, rain on Monday
and yesterday caused the laying off
OF the concreting crew until more
favorable weather. From indica-
lions today there will be no work
done and it will mean the holding
over of the crew for a days work
before the contract on the three
blocks is finished. 1t seems mighty
good to be able to traverse the
streets without "hoofng it" in the
mud. Another days labor and the
work will be finished. Chris John
son & Son, who are the contractors,
will leave their machinery in Eagle
River over the winter, for there is
a certainty that something like
twelve blocks of concrete will be
built next spring.

VOTERS DID NOT VOTE
No Interest Taken in Yester-
days Senatorial Election;
LaFollette Got EN-.

When Eagle River casts a trife
over hundred votes, men and
women, it but shows that little in

election held yesterday. LaFollette
received IS votes as against Dith-
mars 81. Bruce, the Democrat re-
ceived a half dozen. Every voting
precinct in the county is said to
have gone for LaFollette but the
voting was so light and the interest
taken was of the same calibre that
it is impossible this morning to get
the figures of how the vote went
in the towns.

Her Birthday Celebrated.

Being eighty-three years of age
Sunday of last week, the many
personal friends and relatives of
Grandma Zimpelmann helped her
remember the anniversary of her
birth at the Louis Zimpelmann
home in the village. Mrs. Zimpel-
mann is hale for that age and her
enjoyment of the occasion means
much in her belief in knowing that
she was remembered by old friends
and the family members.

LOST THIRTEEN SHEEP
Dogs Ravage Ed Cookers
Flock in Town of Lincoln
Before Being Caught.

BY the killing of two shepherd
dogs, Ed. Croker believes he has
put a stop to the killing of his
sheep on his farm in the town of
Lincoln some five miles northwest
Of the village.
For the past month Mr.. Croker
would find several sheep lying dead
in his pasture and from evidences
and tracks knew it was being done
by a dog. One evening last week
he heard commotion in his pas
ture and with the aid of moonlight
and a rifle killed the marauders-
two shepherd dogs who cannot be
Identified. Neither dog wore a tag
and none of the neighbors in that
district can identify either one as
belonging to that community.
In all Mr.. Croker mas lost four
teen head during the past month.

In circuit court at Rhinelander
last week, two men John Berg and
Andrew Dalton from Three Lakes
were given sentence of from one
to three years in Waupun by Judge
Reid. They were convicted of con-
Quoting houses of i'll fame. Berg
and Dalton were placed under ar
rest several weeks ago by state men
who made a raid in the Three

illicit house and bootlegging.
Berg at one time conducted re-
sort on the Three Lakes chain and
has been in this section for over
twenty years.

HAD CYCLONE DAMAGE
Discovery of More Timber
Damage By Cyclone Which
Struck North End of the
County.

When the two cyclones struck
Lac Vieux Desert last week, John
Lobischer Of Maple Grove resort
reported that he had escaped dam
age by the wind. Monday John
came down and stated that he was
mistaken in that he had received
no damage.
Going back of his meadows in
the hardwood timber he found that
the cyclone had twisted and laid
waste to the magnificent grove of
NAPLES and birch. The damage
cannot be estimated.
Jack Benson of Land O. Lakes,
who owns a summer home on the
south shore of Black Oak, tells of
how the twister that came from
the west and which struck the
Bent resort, piled up few of his
big pine on his frontage and barely
missed wrecking their cottage
when the trees were twisted off.
Since the storm and since our last
issue, there has been many Other
instances of where the cyclones
destroyed timber lands up in that
section.

INCREASE SPEED LIMIT
Uniform Traffic Regulations
Recommended by State
Commission.

Recommendations for uniform
highway traffic regulations, pre-
pared by a special committee in CO.
operation with the state highway
commission, will be submitted
within the next three months to
local authorities and organizations
composed of persons interested in
traffic conditions.
J. T. Donaghey, state highway
engineer, said that details of the
recommendation would not be an
nounced until after they had been
submitted to town, city and county
officials, the League of Wisconsin
Municipalities, and others for sug-
gestions and approval. If the pro-
posals are approved, the highway
commission contemplates making
them effective after next January
LIST.
Among other things, an increase
in speed limits on arterial high
ways will be proposed. 1t is de-
signed to speed up traffic to avoid
congestion. Careful driving at
minimum speed of 40 miles on ar
terial highways outside of cities,
and maximum of 25 miles on ar
terial streets in cities is suggested.
Amendment of the speed laws
would be necessary to make the
proposal effective, but cooperation
among the communities in accom-
pllshing this change will be sought
IT the suggestion is approved, Mr..
Danaghey said.
Uniformity in signs and markers
as well as automatic traffic signals,
also will be sought. This program
Includes use of yellow letters on a
black background for warning
signs, as recommended by nation
al conference recently. 1t was in
Dictated that four unit signal de-
vices were favored by majority
of the sepcial committee in Wis
consin for use in all cities having
automatic traffic regulations.
Routing of traffic by means of
designating streets and highways
will be covered thoroughly in the
recommendations, Mr.. Donaghey
said. If the recommendations are
approved, sectional meetings will
be held to which local authorities
such as mayors, police officials, and
others connected directly or indi-
rectly with traffic regulations will
be invited. Cooperation with the
state highway commission in en-
forcing the regulations will be
asked at the meetings and the rules
will be explained.
The regulations eventually work
ed out under the commissions pro-
gram will be printed and distrib-
uted for the information of persons
using the highways. G. M. Maurer
has been designated as traffic engi-
neer of the commission and en-
forcement of the regulations will
be one of his chief duties.
Mr.. Donaghey stressed the impor-
lance of the new program to the
motoring public, ard the effort
made to work with local commun-
tiles in formulating rules satisfact-
DRY to the majority.

BLAINE CALLS FOR FIRE
Meetings in Fire Conferences
to be Held at Sayner and
Other Sections.

Complete organization of the fire
districts in the forest areas of
northern Wisconsin is proposed by
Gov. John J. Blaine in a letter to
Elmer S. Hall, conservation com
missioner. AS an incentive for fire
prevention week which begins on
October 5, Governor Blaine has
suggested that meetings of all in
terested citizens be held at several
places during the week Of Oct. 5.
1t is proposed to talk over methods
Of preventing forest fires and
means Of putting out these fires
once they have occurred.
A tentative schedule Of meetings
has been prepared by Elmer S. Hall
as follows: October 5, Pembine;
October 6, Crandon; October 7, Say
ner; October s, Park Falls; October
9, Iron River; October 10, Gordon.
Public officials, settlers, lumber
men, resort keepers and others will
be invited to the conference, at
which ways and means for the pre-
vention of forest fires and of
putting out fires will be discussed.
In accordance with the confer
ence held with you and Mr.. Har-
rington Of the forestry depart
ment," declares Governor Blaine in
his letter to Commissioner Hall,
I'VE came to the conclusion that
the week of October 5 would be an
appropriate time for a complete
organization Of the several fire dis
tricts in the forest area of Wiscon-
sin.
Therefore, will you kindly call
meetings in each of the organized
fire districts, to which invite gen
orally local public officials in the
respective districts, with represent
atives from the settlers, lumber
men, resort keepers, and railroads,
operating in these districts, and
such others IS may give valuable
assistance in organizing these dis
tricts, for the following named
purposes:
Ways and means for the pre-
vention of forest fires.
"2-Ways and means Of putting
out forest fires.
Il state the two purposes in or
der of their Importance, | am very
GLAD to join with you in extending
the invitations, and will endeavor
to be personally present at as many
Of those meetings as possible"
An investigation that has been
conducted shows that some of the
forest districts in northern Wis
consin have already been COM
pIetely organized. In one we'll or
ganized district last year over 200
fires were discovered but less than
250 acres of timber land was
burned over. In another district
not so well organized, upwards of
a hundred fires were discovered and
several thousand acres of land were
burned over. With the co-opera-
ton of Governor Blaine it is be-
lieyed that the greatest forestry
problem in Wisconsin can be solved
by organization. Lumbermen are
generally agreed that the forests
rapidly replant themselves if not
menaced by fire and that the first
problem to be solved by a real con-
soryation program is to prevent the
fires in the outset and quickly put
them out when they occur.

ION THE CONCRETE"

OF IN THE NORTH WOODS for the past
half century people have become &C.
~ customed to old-time methods and it
has taken them a heck of while to
brush out Of the old rut In talking with an
old timer this week he voiced the fact that he
was finding out that he was back number and
had need of either getting civilized to later
day fashions and DEGREES or else migrate to the
Canadian or Minnesota wilds where he would
be on equal footing with the rest who are of
that same cult.
Now this fellow was peeved over the fact
that the old-fashioned methods of travel had
been cast into the discard; he wanted to still
shoulder his pack and with gun amble off into
the tall and uncut, hunt and fish for several
days and then return with his quota of game
or fish, as the case might be- He didn't want
to be compelled to walk on a graveled road
which was lively with gas wagons and minus
Dobblns; he didn't want to see so blamed many
strangers every minute of the day because it
gave him no opportunity to stop and gossip and
tell some WhOpper of story to an old pal or
side-kick. He simply finds he is out of luck
seven ways from the alley and does not have
gumption enough to know that he is living in a
day of progress.
In those days when lumber was king in
this section and the OK team was a regular
coach and four; when umberjacks and single
weavers staged fight in the villages most
every hour of the day-black eyes an every
thing, this old bird was in his prime. He could
lick up barrel of hootch and never bat an
eyelash and for fighting, it was half of his
living to indulge in a rough-and-tumble scrap
Maybe he enjoyed himself and considered this
the strenuous life and grew fat on all the
pckings.
The old-time grocery store has disappeared
in it's place is a we'll kept modern supply house
with courteous clerks and modern appliances in
the handling of the provender of life. The old
time cracker barrel, the key of cider and the
box stove with its sawdust spittoon all gar
nshed along the interior and sides with cigar
stubs, tobacco guilds and splashes of spit-all
this has passed along to make room for some
thing else that in the coming years will be just
as much of back number as the old-time stuff.
Now you are hitting the concrete
Either it is jazz stuff, auto rides, little
moonshine to liven you up Tor you just
imagine) concrete roads and streets to take the
jar off your spineless spine. You are growing
into jelly mass and if the pace keeps up some
one who ought to know states that we will
soon be minus feet just like pollywog and will
be freak in the world just as much as the
old-timer finds himself now. Being on the
crete has done all this, you might say
Maybe it has; who knows.
