The entertain- 

 ment was made up 

 of two features, one 

 the set program and 

 the other the in- 

 between entertain- 

 ment which was a 

 continuous perform- 

 ance — never ceas- 

 ing. 



The set program 

 included a most at- 

 , tractive banquet on 

 the evening of the 

 first day, a mighty good wrestling and boxing show on the evening 

 of the second day on which a number of exceptionally good bouts 

 were staged, and a trip to the woods camps of the Langlade Lum- 

 ber Company over its logging railroad on Sunday. Here a regular 

 lumberjack dinner was set up, which, if it is a sample of what the 

 lumberjacks get in the North, is niiiplc reason for men leaving 

 home. 



Following the dinner at the 

 camps on Sunday, Sarah Mil 

 dred Wilmar, the noted lyceum 

 and Chautauqua lecturer, gave 

 an address on "As I Saw Our 

 Boys in France." 



Miss Wilmar has a wonderful 

 gift of telling things in a way 

 that puts her audience just 

 where she was when she saw the 

 things she talks about. She 

 made possible a conception of 

 some of the things that occurred 

 and were seen abroad that the 

 average man who remained at 

 home would never otherwise get. 



Unfortunately it rained imme- 

 diately after dinner and the 

 elaborate program of the woods 

 craft features, including log roll- 

 ing and log saw contests and 



other stunts by the 

 lumberjacks, had to 

 be called off.

 The first day's 

 session was opened 

 liy Charles W. Fish, 

 p r e s i d e n t of the 

 Charles W. Fish 

 Lumber Company of 

 Elcho, with other 

 mills at Antigo and 

 Birnamwood, Wis. 

 Mr. Fish's address, 

 which he claimed to 

 he his maiden effort 

 on the platform, 

 was entitled "We Welcome You." 



It was one of the most sincerely welcoming speeches to which we 

 have ever had the pleasure of listening. Mr. Fish went briefly into 

 the history of the Antigo and Langlade county lumbering and 

 wound u]) with a really clever welcoming address, which left in the 

 minds of the audience an entirely different impression of his ability 



as a public speaker than that 

 which he endeavored to give 

 when he started. 



Charles H. Chapman of the 

 Northwestern Lumber Company, 

 Stanley, delivered the address of 

 welcome in behalf of the North- 

 ern Hemlock & Hardwood Manu- 

 facturers' Association in place 

 of George N. Harder, president 

 of that organization, who has 

 been confined to a hospital at 

 Wausau for some time because 

 of serious operations from which 

 we are glad to say he is now 

 recovering. 



Mr. Chapman went somewhat 

 into the history of the northern 

 lumber industry and traced some 

 (if tlie developments leading up 

 to the demand for more modern 

 nicreliandis.ng and a desire for
