The final and official figure will come from Washington." Increase Only 414. Practically all estimates of the Rhinelander population for 1940 had been in excess of fl.OOO. Few people believed that the city's growth in the last 10 years would be less than fiOO.

Actually, according to the preliminary figures, the city has in- creased it? population by only 414. However, citv ulTickils pointed out today, suburban residential areas in the towns of Pelican. Pine Lake. Crescent and Newbold have been developed considerably in recent years. Many people employed in JJhinelnnder live outside of the city limits, especially along main high-! ways, it was pointed out.

CITY RESIDENT, DIES TODAY Raymond Kriesel, 111 Long Time, Succumbs in St. Mary's Hospital. Cars Collide Near Milwaukee Club; Horse Bolts, Dies Automobiles Driven by Un- Bersheriff Harvey Rodd and John Byers Damaged. Although details of the accident lacking, it was reported today that no one was injured early this morning when cars driven by Un- dersherifT Harvey Rodd and John Byers collided on Highway 8, a short distance east of the Milwaukee club. Both cars were considerably damaged.

County Traffic Officer Clifford Guilday. who investigated the mishap, could not be located today. Like many other residents, he was taking advantage of the opening day of the general fishing season. City police reported that a horse owned by R. J.

Fleischman dropped dead in a yard on Stevens street this morning after bolting away from the driver for the second time within an hour. On the first occasion, Fleischman was thrown from the seat of the wagon drawn by the horse. He was not injured, except for being shaken up. and did not require medical attention. As far as could be determined from reports reaching city police and the sheriff's office, students who attended the high school Junior prom last night were not involved in serious traffic mishaps.

It was reported unofficially that Robert Briggs, a Monico youth who attended the prom, lost control of his car on a soft shoulder on Highway 8, west of Rhinelander, and was unable to keep the vehicle from running into the ditch. None of the occupants of this car was hurt, it was Paid. Minocqua. where the Heart o'the Lakes association was organized 10 years ago. has returned to membership in the organization after an absence of four years.

Joseph Mercedes, executive director, reported today. A committee of business men. including several people -who were instrumental in formation of the Heart o'the Lakes association, has purchased advertising space in the new tourist book published by the Wisconsin Tourist bureau. Mercedes explained. The Wisconsin Tourist bureau is affiliated with the Heart o'the Lakes organization.

A four-page layout, featuring Minocqua as the "Island City." will appear in the completed edition of the tourist book, which is called "Wisconsin." The final edition of the book will be published within the next 10 days. Postpone Show Plans. Because of the usual spring rush of tourist and vacationist applications, Mercedes said today he would be unable to complete plans for a proposed outdoor exposition in Minocqua until later in the season. Mercedes left today for Chicago, where he will continue an extensive speaking tour before civic groups in the Chicago area. Tuesday noon he is scheduled to appear before the Wisconsin society in Chi- cago.

and a large crowd of members and visitors is expected to hear him talk. Motion pictures will be shown and Marathon county cheese, donated by the Wausau Chamber of Commerce, will be served to the audience. The tenth year of activity by the Heart o'the Lakes association fs expected to be the best in the organ- ization's history, Mercedes predict- ed, Europe's present war has eliminated travel abroad and Wisconsin is expected to pick up most of the vacationists who usually travel outside of the nation.

division of the WPA. First Anglers To Report Get Wall-Eyed Pike Eighth grade students of Orteida county have been taking final examinations during the last week or so. with County Supt. .7. M.

Reed and the supervising teacher. Mrs. Kathryn Wight, directing the tests. Among the amusing results of the examinations are the weird spellings which some words bring out. One of the biggest stumbling blocks in the spelling quiz is the word "crocheting." which many incor- lectly.

used this group of letters Tor the word: "crowshaing." The Eighth grade tests, which cle- terminc whether students will be admitted to high schools, will be completed June 3. The Rambler would like to know whether a certain high school girl or her mother won an argument over the type of formal gown the girl would wear to the Junior prom. It seems the girl out a dress which her mother said was "not modest," while the mother se- lected a gown which her daughter classed as "old fashioned." Said the mother: "If you take the dress you picked out you can't go to the prom." Said the daughter: "If I had to wear the dress you want me to I wouldn't go to the prom." For the information of several residents who have inquired about conventions in Rhinejander this season: I So far this month the city has been host to four conventions: Tenth district Federation of Wo- men's Clubs. May 2 and Wiscon-1 sin Service Officers asociation. May 4 and district high school mu- sic festival.

May 10 and 11; Tenth! district Veterans of Foreign May 12. Scheduled for next month are: American Legion's Eleventh district conference. June 1 and and joint Lutheran synod convention, June 17 to 21. This week's precipitation was welcomed by practically all em- ployes of the state conservation department, but especially by those who work on fire prevention and detection. Lookout men in fire towers, fire rangers and fire fighting crows, a bit tired as a result of several weeks of dangerous conditions in forest areas, relaxed after rainfall Monday.

Tuesday and Wednesday. Eight Tomahawk boys, comprising the Polecat patrol of Troop 48, autographed a towel, sealed it in a fruit jar and dropped the jar into the Wisconsin river last June when they attended a district camporee on the river about six miles north of Tornahawk, The jaf recently was found in the river by Alfred J. Lagessie, a Merrill resident: his daughter. Elaine, selected one natne and sent the towel to Joe Doucette. Other names on the towel were those of Leland MonUibon, Norman Stiff, Wallace Wurl.

Lyle Lopiskey, George Bnrtl.et and Albert Oscar Moen, genial proprietor of the Village Inn, was the "Victim" of a bit of a practical joking this week. Here's the way the Rambler heard the tale: Someone gnve Moen a three- pound German Brown trout, caught legally in Ashland county. Moen showed the fish to a number of friends, including several traffic officers. The officers called a conservation warden and arranged to have him "confiscate" the fish as being illegal. While Moen and the warden argued about the "confiscation." the traffic officers swiped the trout and left the cafe.

Meeting outside the cafe, the officers and the warden went to Lake Julia and borrowed a large sucker from a fisherman. Wrapping the sucker in the paper which had surrounded the trout, the coppers returned to the Village Inn and told Moen they had taken his fish away from the warden. The next time Moen took his "trout" out of the icebox to show to a friend, he was nonplussed to find that the German Brown had become a sucker. Yes, eventually got back his trout. Professional men will be hard to' find in Rhinelander today re- member, May 18 marks the opening of the general fishing season.

Most of lawyers, doctors and dentists will be trying out new lures with tfte first crack of dawn, but a few waited until noon to start their 1940 angling. County Clerk Lloyd D. Verage, who annually sells about a tenth of the fishing licenses in Onelda county, has distributed about 300 so far this year. That's about the average number prior to the opening date, and represents nbout half the total for the year. A few more little known Rhinelander streets: Boyce drive, Blackburn street, Railroad street, Wilson street, Hill street and Elizabeth street.

Stubbs, here last Monday afternoon, Mrs. Irene Smith of Jefferson, hitchhiked to Rhinelander with her daughter, Georgia Mae, 18, in a day and a half. Train or bus schedules could not have brought them here in time for the rites. Leaving their home Sunday morning, Mrs.

Smith and her daughter arrived in Rhinolander just a few minutes before the funeral services were begun in the Masonic temple. Lawn Mowers Sharpened and Repaired On Latest Equipment. We call for and deliver mowers. Wisconsin Sheet Metal Works 134 E. Anderson St.
