Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

The absence of our grand old
Irishman." General Foreman Jim
Kiely. who is improving as well as
can be expected in the Los Angeles
hospital, has necessitated some
changes in the line of supervision.
E. A. (Possum) Kuhn is acting in
Mr.. Kiely's stead, while R., K
(Musty) Mullins runs the day
roundhouse foreman job and on
account of Walter Brown being as
signed to the night foremanship,
Harry Kemis is acting as his as
sistant, leaving P. P. (Prune Pick
err Buyers air gang.
I'm SO sorry, Shorty! The eve
ming the rattlesnake called at the
roundhouse last week for execu-
ton l borrowed a jack knife from
Boiler Inspector Joe Gilardi to
skin the reptile, me being desir-
Gus of a hatband. When he saw
how his knife was being used
Shorty let a war whoop and several
other things escape from his vocal
cords. Now he has absolutely re-
fused to accept the knife back, say
ing that when / cut off a chew of
tobacco l don't want any 'snakey'
flavoring."
Walter Mcconnell, of the c. c.
Clements Santa Fe paint gang, re-
turned from a visit to Southern
California and says things are fine
in that country. Mac declares that
he is glad to be back at work. He
also informs us that the day he
spent at Needles on his return the
mercury ascended to 124 in the
shade.

Breaks Arm.
Viola Perdue, 6-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. E. Perdue,
fell from a burro Friday night and
in the fall broke one bone in her
right arm. The fall left her un-
conscious and she lay for several
minutes on the ground. In the
meantime the burro walked toward
her and stopped with a forefoOt on
the chiId's arm. Being a typical
donkey, he disregarded all en-
treaties on behalf of the little girls
playmates in trying to get him to
lift his foot, until the entreaties
took the form of boards and rocks.
1t is thought that the bone was
broken by the weight Of the DON
key rather than by the fall.

Claim a Boiling Summer.

A letter to the News last week
from the Andrew Hansen family,
now all-year residents of Florida
near Miami, claims the past month
(August) was a boiling one; took
all the pep the northern people
could allow and then some. The
Hansens were operators of a resort
on Twin lake near Phelps for years
and have been spending their win
tiers up to last summer in the
south. Mr.. Hansen says in his let
ter that from all appearances when
the winter tourist season opens at
Miami and that district there will
be some question as to where they
will secure accommodations. The
boom in building winter homes
there is of such magnitude that
it is undesirable.

Just the Week End.

Even though the spending of a
weekend at their summer home on
Pickerel lake west of the village en-
tailed the driving Of seven hundred
miles in order to fulfill their de-
sires, Mr.. and Mrs. L. V. Estes of
Chicago, went back home Monday
noon with the determination that
they would again return in October
for a real holiday. The anticipa-
ton one derives from driving way
up north to their cabin or lodge or
summer home, even though it be
for a few days, is such that the
return is made with a better feel
ing that the time stolen was repaid
a hundred fold. Not finding enough
room at their home on Pickerel
available for their list of friends
and visitors during the summer
season, they have contracted for
the charging of their present cot
tage. A peculiar phase of this is
that in order to build the addition
it entails the moving of their home
some fifty feet in order to preserve
several trees near the corner of the
present building. What a lover of
nature will do is sometimes con-
sidered peculiar, but with the in
creasing Of people who love every
item Of nature and wild life, enc
must but know this man and wo-
man who at an added cost simply
saves what nature has builded in
her perfectness.

numerous cases, some of which are

dence. Olaf Lukkeran of Phelps

His tax was 500 and costs, which
he paid.

HIS STATEMENT FALSE
Chicago Man Tried to Get
Hunting License by Claim
ing Residence; Cost $500
for Lying.

Adolph Gohl, a former resident
Of Chicago, who is now making his
home in Villas county, paid fine
of $500 and costs in county court
at Hurley, on Saturday after he
had plead guilty to the charge of
making a false statement regard
ing his legal residence in order to
get a hunting license. The Hurley
News says that Gohl obtained a
hunting license there last fall and
made affidavit to the effect that he
was a resident of Wisconsin, when
as a matter of fact he was resi-
dent of Chicago and would have
had to pay a non-resident's hunt
ing license fee, which is $50. Dep
uty Game Warden H. w. Mckenzie
made the complaint against Gohl.
The $500 fine was the minimum
that could be levied against the de-
PENDANT for the ofense charge, the
alternative being six months
sentence in the county Jail. Gohl
willingly paid the fine rather than
spend six months in the county
Jail.

HAVE PAVEMENT DANCE
Villagers Plan Community
Dance After Concreting is
Finished on Wall and Rail
road Streets.

You will be able to shake a
wicked foot when the three blocks
of concreting has been finished in
Eagle River, if the plans of some of
the business men do not fall
through. This will mean the cele-
bration of the advent of concrete
pavements in the village the be-
ginning of the first step toward
the cleaning up process which has
been long coming, but has finally
reached us. Most every other vii
lage the size Of Eagle River has
had their streets modernized; dis
carded the mud or rocked streets
for present day surfacing; some
thing to give a tone to the setting
of a real business burg and make
way for real little city now com
ing rapidly to us.
1t has been fight of years, this
undermining of our streets and
thoroughfares; it has been the
cause Of broken friendships and
much cuss words pro and con
among the fellows who were for or
were against. One would advocate
this and the other fellow that. Re-
suit: not a blamed thing accom-
plished and we still waded in mud
UP to our armpits and cussed and
cussed. But now all this is gone
and what happened in the near
past, is but dream and all are
friends once more.
This is the reason most of the
business fellows and others wish
to build this community dance as
soon as the concrete is ripe enough.
You have been reading the car
toons "On the Concrete?" Well,
when the date Of the village dance
is announced, make it a point to
join in with us and make lively on
the concrete with wicked foot.

Conover, Wisconsin
SEASON OPEN FOR DUCK
Today it is Legal to Hunt
Wild Duck, Geese, Plover,
Snipe, Rice Hens; Bag Linn
it Unchanged.

Most every sportsman IN this sec
ton of the duck grounds in the
lake region is minus quantity
today on account of the opening
of the season for ducks, geese,
plover, snipe, rice hens, woodcock,
which came in at sunrise this
morning.
From previous reports duck of
the home variety are numerous in
the many rice and other food lakes
in the district. Some of the sports
men were of the opinion that
owing to many Of the feeding
ponds drying up this summer and
the general low stage Of water, the
ducks would have left for other
points where low water did not
affect the grounds inhabited by the
home ducks during the summer.
The law specifies that the bag
limit is to be fifteen each day, and
that hunting must be done between
sunrise and sunset; not during the
period of daylight as some contend.
The duck season is from September
18th to December 31st.
Beginning the third Saturday in
September and continuing for four
days it will be lawful to hunt prai
RE chicken and grouse. A mixed
bag Of five birds is allowed.
Commencing the first Saturday
in October the sportsman may hunt
partridge for four days. The bag
is five birds per day. It is claimed
that in some sections of this re-
gion cartridges are very scarce,
owing to an epidemic of worms
which struck the birds this sum-
mer. At this time of the year most
of the game birds are near creeks
and streams and are not out in the
openings or along old roads. This
might account for the reported
scarcity.

READY FOR CONCRETE
Contractors Finished Grading
the Streets Yesterday and
Start Pouring Mixture To-
day.

Yesterday afternoon all the grad
ing work on the three blocks to be
concreted this fall was finished and
preparations made for action in
pouring concret from curb to curb,
starting on the upper block on
Wall street, finishing up at Knox
ON Railroad street. Some little de-
lay is experienced in having gravel
and cement on hand at the start,
the shipment having been delayed.
Work of laying the conduit for
the ornamental street lighting sys-
tenn is about finished and will in no
way retard the concreting. The
three blocks will be lighted, and
petitions are now out for the plac-
ing of the system up Division
street from Wall street to Main
street. Petitions are also being
filled for the building of some ten
extra blocks of concrete. If this
materializes, the contractors will
leave their machinery here for
spring work.
