WOULD DELIVERY
HELP MAIL HERE?
CAN PATRONS GET LATE MAIL AT
POSTOFFICE AS WELL AS
FREE DELIVERY

Park Falls now has free mail de-
livery and the Independent, in com
menting on the change, quotes the
postmaster as saying that the main
thing to impress upon the people is
that there will be- no more one cent
postage. In other words, all local mail
must carry two cent postage the same
as foreign mail. Park Falls is town
of about 1000 people and has several
mails daily. We have been informed
that an application has been made or
will be made to have free delivery
service established in Eagle River but
whether it would prove convenience
or not would depend largely upon
what regulations are in force by the
postoffice department regarding the
ability of patrons to get mail from
the postoffice when train delays
might make it impossible to deliver
mail the day it was received Can
any one give any light upon this an
gle of free mail delivery in small
towns?

OLD RELIC is
BEING RAZED
HALL BUILDING ON RAILROAD ST.
ONE OF EARLIEST LANDMARKS
BEING TORN DOWN


Another of the old land marks of
Eagle River is under process of eface-
ment by the F. 6. Hall Lbr. Co., and
consists of the building owned by
them on Railroad and Division streets
1t was first built in the winter of
1S84-5, by big" John Mcdonald, for
saloon purposes, and then as now,
made an excellent business stand
from its prominent location. 1t was
later owned by various parties and
added to. in size until it occupied near
ly all of the frontage on Railroad St.
1t was used by the Hall firm for sew
eral years as an office and storehouse
for mill work until they built the one
now occupied by them across the rail-
road tracks. 1t is probable that the
site will soon be occupied by mod.
ern business building of some kind
and the removal of the old building
will be an improvement to the looks
of the corner and reduces the fire
hazard also. AS is generally the case
OF old buildings erected in the flush
of the old white pine days, much of
the material used although in rough
stage is of excellent clear white pine
and hardly obtainable at cost now

Will Free Game Farm
Elk and Deer in Future
ANIMALS IN STATE PARK AT
TROUT LAKE WILL BE FREED
IN NEAR FUTURE

A report from Madison states that
wild elk and deer from the state game
farm in Villas county will be let loose
in the near future to forage over the
entire northern part of the state, &C.
cording to c. l.. Harrington of the
state conservation commission.
A herd of 40 elk and a large herd
OF wild deer inhabit the game farm,
on the shores of Trout lake. The farm
comprises 700 acres of cutover land
a part of the new 10000 acre North,
ern Forest park.
During the summer the elk feed
themselves, but in winter the state
has fed them,' Mr. Harrington declar-
ed. They are given clover hay. The
deer can forage for themselves in
winter as well as in summer. To feed
the elk costs about $3.50 a month.
I'VE are going to discontinue the
game farm as soon as it is feasible, 7
Mr.. Harrington said 1.-THE elk have
bONOHAO' cCNlA1lldCCus anu SuOulu De
able to procure their own feed by this
time"
Several years ago the United States
government advertised elk for sale,
and even offered them to anyone who
could pay transportation charges, ex,
planned Mr.. Harrington. They were
starving elk from Montana and Wyom
ing. The state imported two ofssemy
but the experiment was unsuccessful.
Later 20 elk were brought in from
Jackson's Hole, Mont A large mum
Der OF them died on the way, but
enough survived to start the game
farm that now exists.
"The original number has doubled
in few years" Mr.. Harrington said,
but the state has gained nothing
from them. They are not an attract
ion for tourists since in the summer
they are scattered through the 700
acres of park. During the winter they
come to the feeding stations, but
there are no tourists to see them.
'The wild game need no protection,
since everybody knows that they are
the property of the state No hunting
is allowed in state parks"

LAoNA
Total Points

The refereeing did not entirely suit
us. Not that the official was intention
ally unfair, but he showed poor judg-
ment in several places and missed a
lot of stuff that is bound to occur
when two teams like Laona and Eagle
get to going at their fast pace. Were
the two teams more evenly matched
it might have made a difference and
it is easy to understand why Wabeno,
which expects to give Laona a close
run, demands different official. Ref.
erecting is thankless job at it's best
and any local man who undertakes
it is in for lot of adverse side-line
comment regardless of the way he
handles the game.

ICELAND" NEW
SKATING RINK
PROVING POPULAR WINTER PAS
TIME FOR SKATERS OF
ALL AGES

The ice skating rink of J. E. Van
oerheyden which he had prepared on
ground back of his residence on River
Street was opened to the public last
Saturday and he reported a heavy pat
ronage from youngsters and adults all
day. 1t is 80x160 feet in size and af-
fords ample room for large number
of skaters. 1t should prove popular
with the parents of children who wish
to skate as being an artifically made
rink, there is absolutely no danger of
any harm resulting to even the young
est of skaters, something that cannot
always be said for naturally made
skating grounds.

The girls preliminary was hard
fought battle, with the scoring con.
spicuous by it's absence Laona got
their single point on foul in the first
period and the score stayed that way
until the last few minutes of the final
period when Flo Hall dropped in a
nice basket which cinched the game
for Bagle by the score of 2 to 1. Both
sides had plenty of chances at the
ring but their shooting eye was out of
line and Eagle was handicapped by
playing under the girls rules.

tournament honors in the spring.
The score by periods given below
shows what each team did and when
they did it:
Laona -..,............. 8 S-S1

1t shows that Laona played a con-

same scoring ability throughout.
Eagle put up good game, improv-

ANOTHER RISE IN COMMITTING RATES

The -H per cent raise in Commuta- ton fares on the New Haven rail- road for commuters to and from New York City is another instance Of the steady insistence of the rail- roads 10 exact as much from the public as the traflc will bear. Then, when the public in reprisal turns more and more to the use Of auto mobiles the railroad arrangements put up a howl about the dropping off in passenger traffic.
 l. has been comparatively easy for the railroads, by employing skilled iugglcrs with figures, to prove to the satisfaction of regu- latory commissions that they are "eutitled" 10 higher rates. The same jugglers, if employed on the side Of the public, could prove the reverse with equal facility.
 T. will probably not be long be- fore the New Haven railroad will feel it needs another boost in com mutation rates.

miners federation to meet him sepa-

miners federation to meet him sepa- rately today. The owners accepted, and after much persuasion the lead CTS of the miners decided to meet with MT. Bridgeman 10 discuss re- opening of the negotiations.
 So far the strike notices have only been posted in southwest and west Yorkshire and South Wales, where the number of men employed in the mines is somewhere In the neighbor- hood Of 100000.
 While the notices, If posted in all districts, will be identical, the pro- poe2ls for new ages and working conditions are different, ! In West Yorkshire, where more than 10000 men are involved, the proposed reductions are merely nom inal and the real basis of the dis pute lies in the federation's demand that there shall be no district set dement's, but that the national minimum wage established shall be clearly in line with cost of living figures.
 Tn South Wales the reductions amount to about one shilling three pence 10 one shilling ten pence per shift for unmarried men who al present receive ten shillings six pence. The reductions for married men are correspondingly less, sc that married man with four chil' dren would lose approximately five pence per day,
 In general the reductions would amount to approximately twenty pei Icent. and in certain cases less if the miners are willing to accept return to an eight hour day.
 IL is estimated that the number of miners working in England. Scot land and Wales is about 100000 with nearly S00,000 others alread! idle through the closing down O many colieries during the last two years.

NO GOLF PICTURES OF PRESIDENT

The President of the United States must put up with being photographed az often as the photographers desire; the people would stand for almost anything from a President except his refusal to permit his picture 10 be in con- stant circulation, That's an ad- vantage the incumbent has over the aspirants for the office he has had the publicity while the other has 1t to get.
 But news from swampscott Is that President Coolidge refuses to be photographed swinging golf stick He refuses to be photographed on a golf course, or with a caddy in the background, or near a golf ball or in golf togs
 The President while in Vermont was willing to be photographed near Sd D bucket, or while pitch ing hay, or perhaps even while do- ing a ehore around the old barn. 1 But there Is simply nothing stirring when 1t comes 10 being photo graphcd in CT near golf course or with a golf club in hand.

YCCATAN DIkORCES IN CONNECTICUT

Refusal of Connecticut court to recognize a divorce obtained in Yucatan, where it appears to be cssier to obtain a divorce than any where else on this planet, has cen- tered some attention to that MeXi- can state, which is important 10 the remainder Of the world from the fact that virtually all the sisaI hemp used in making binder twine comes from there. the peculiar hot and humid Iowland and tropical climate being ideal for the cultivation Of this important article of commerce.
 The United States had an oppor- unity 10 annex Yucatan in 134s, when on April 29 Of that year Pres ident Polk informed Congress that Yuca,2n, where the Indians were in rc,ot. considered itself independent Of Mexico and desired annexation 10 lne United S'atcs. President Polk added that h. fayored such anneXa- ton in ,iew of it being agreeable 10 the then gov crnmont of Yucatan, but no acton vas taken by Con- rr,ss. How independent the Yuca- tan citizens were was indicated by it. fact that i, took the Mexican .y.,rnmeur until 1858 to put down 1 ,i. revolt
 Had the United states consented 1 10 annex Yucatan at that time 1t would have given the nation a state of 55. 4og square miles, or a sts,e nearly as arge as Iowa.
