Shippers and the War Tax.

The United States Supreme court,
with two judges dissenting, has de-
cided that the express companies
cannot be prevented from shifting to
the shipper the burden of the stamp
taxes imposed by the war revenue
act. When the law was passed it
was claimed that the rich carving
corporations would be compelled to
bear a large share of the burden of
taxation. The lobbyists of these
corporations evidently we're on
hand earning their salaries. however
for the language of the act as finally
passed was so ambiguous as to leav e
much doubt as to the intent of con-
gress with respect to the incidence
of the taxes imposed. The express
companies at once proceeded to re-
quire the shipper to affix the neces-
sary stamps, and the court of last
resort has now sustained their right
to do SO. Thus the entire burden of
this portion of the war taxation is
shifted to the people, while the cor
porations it was inteeded to reach
60 free.
1t is time that a large portion of
the war taxes were repealed. and
those bearing most heavily on the
people should be the first to GO

Let OFF on 500 Bonds.

George Zerbergg, the unfortunate
Iron Rlver man, who was badly hurt
in an election row, has lost both
eyes. In order to save his life it
was necessary for the physicians in
the Dodd's hospital at Ashland to
perform this operation. Charles
News, the Iron River saloon keeper,
charged with the crime, was before
the Municipal court here Monday,
and plead rot guilty to the charge
of having inflicted the injuries upon
Zerbergg. He gave 500 bail and
went his way. A young man named
Paul Kreuger is also under arrest
for participation in the assault, and
has been held in the sum of $500
bond, which will likely be furnished
to day.

A BOAT is AT ELEVATOR TODAY
The $500" is Open. the Ferry Boats are in
Motion, the Ice is Gone, and the
Busy Season for Chequame-
gon Bay Begins.

Navigation is now a real thing
the $500" is open and the Hunter
has made trip here from Duluth,
the ferry boats haue crossed the bay,
and the ice is practically gone,
although small patches of it are
yet to be seen. The Fashion was
the first boat to arrive, coming over
last Thursday. The Hunter came
down from Duluth and touched here
Friday morning. Since then the
Fashion has made numerous trips.
The first boat for the season
passed the 800" at ten o'clock
Monday forenoon. It was the
steamer M. A. Hanna. Later on,
the same day the Pontiac, City of
Naples, Lansing, Masaba, Italia and
Amazon passed up.
The first boat from down the
lakes arrived at the elevator today
being the HI. w. Oliver. She is
being loaded with grain and will
likely clear tomorrow morn
ing. The steamer Wetmore and her
consort, the Brunette are due to-
morrow at the coal docks, with a
cargo of coal.
The Steamers Lucille, Capt. Brow
er, and the Mary Scott, Capt. Ture-
con, will look after the ferry route
between here and Ashland this year,
the same as in past seasons. The
Plowboy, Capt. Bishop, will make
the run from Ashland to Bayfield,
and Madeline, the same as in past
years, and the steamer Hunter and
the yacht Stella will make daily ex-
cursions through the islands. The
Barker will likely run between the
Bay and Duluth.
Navigation opens up briskly and
the season will doubtless be the
liveliest ever seen on the bay. Ash
land and Washburn are prepared for
lively season, and we will un-
questionably have it.

Washburn people have been con-

Col. Colson, of Kentucky. Colson
run up against the Washburn BOYS
when they were doing provost duty
in Admission last year and was
thoroughly. cong uered by Lieut.. M :
Kay, who separated Coison and
Scott At the next meeting be-
tween the two latter duel ensued,
and the result Of the trial is told in
the following telegram:
Frankfort, KY, April 23.--Ex-
Congressman David G.. Colson, after
trial of four days for the murder of
Lieut.. Etherlbert Scott and Luther
w. Demaree, was acquitted by the
jury which was out only eighteen
minutes.
When the verdict was read the
crowd in the court room arose and
sent up a wild cheer. Col. Colson.
the defendant, was standing near
the witness chair. The crowd took
no notice of the court officers who
pounded vigorously for order, but
piled over the ratings, surrounding
Colson, and insisting on shaking
hands with him. They gave an ova-
to the jury and Col. James Andrew
Scott, ColSon'S chief consul. The
cheering kept up until Col. Colson
left the court room, and as he did,
it was taken up by the Beckham sci
diers in front of the court house, to
which the colonel very gracefully re-
turned salute.
Colson gave a banquet to celebrate
his acquittal and received kilograms
OF congratulation from all over the
state.

County Bond Suit.

Milwaukee. April 24.-The contest
over the $50, 900 bonds that Bayfield,
county voted to issue in aid of the
construction of the Washburn, Bay
field & Iron River railway has come
into court. 1t develops that the
railroad company, after the bonds
were issued, sold them to Henry
Herman, and this morning Judge
Elliott entered an order directing
Mr.. Herman to file a cross complaint
against the county of Bayfield,, for
the purpose of bringing the matter
squarely before the court upon it's
merits. The order was entered
upon the application of Bayfield, coun-
tv, which joined in the request that
the Milwaukee Trust company,
which holds the bonds as trustees,
be released from further litigation
inasmuch as the county IS obliged to
pay the costs incurred by the COM
pany. Mr.. Herman must serve his
complaint within ten days.

TREES AS LANDMARKS.

We are forever building monu-
merits, but why not let those stand
which Nature set up, even before the
white man appeared upon the scene,
and which were landmarks to our
ancestors as we'll as to ourselves?
So what are the claims of old
trees to our regard? Single one out,
and study its career. Go to it in the
spring and watch the swelling leaf
buds. This is the trees busiest
time and yet how quietly it does it's
work. No one ever heard of a nerv-
Gus or fretful tree. There's a hint
for you. know beech that yearly
bears half-million of leaves, yet
their growth never made sufficient
stir to defect thistle-dow from it's
course Millions of drops of sap
course through as many channels,
yet there is no sound of moving
water. 1t is in vain to press your
ear against the bark; you will hear
nothing; but the sap was passing
upward all the while. No tree asks
aid from it's neighbours It is self
reliant, and how much of that virtue
can you rightly boast Of?
We know that ere long the tree
will afford us grateful shade, but did
it make you any promise to that
effect? You 90 TO it, in fullest Goa
fidence, when the hot July sun
scorches the fields, and you never
are disappointed. Cannot mankind
get hint from a tree? Who ever
lived that never spake of himself,
never dispatched a courier announc-
ing his intentions, and never failed
to meet the just expectation of his
fellows? Death alone is the dis
turber of tree, but man with all
his superiority, is the sole reason for
such word as vacillation. He is a
poor student who can spend q day
with tree and go home none the
wiser.

The Contests.

In the preliminary oratorical and
declamatory contest held at the
Opera House last Wednesday night
a very pleasing program was rem
dered. The judges decided in favor
of Frank Smiths grafton on "The
Negro and the South" and the decla-
nation by Ewing McBeath, entitled
"rhe Traitors Deathbed," being the
best. These two young people will
consequently represent the Wash
burn High School in the contest Of
the Division League between Wash
burn, Bayfield, and Ashland, next
Friday evening, which is to be held
at the Opera House in this city.
The committee informs us that
seats may be reserved at Prud-
homme & Tyrrel's. An admission
fee of twenty-five cents for adults
and fifteen cents for children will be
charged.

THE COMING OF ARBOR DAY.
Let People Observe 1T, Not From Senti

Let People Observe 1T. Not From Senti-
mental but for Practical Reasons.
Friday Of next week is Arbor day,
and how nice it would be if a few
hundred trees were planted upon
that day here in Washburn. A few
years ago the forest primeval" stood
right here where our city now
hourishes. But the lumberman
passed through it, and stripped the
land clear. The result is that we
have few shade trees, and the town
looks bare. It is a source of COM
ment by those who visit here, and it
it detracts wonderfully from the
looks of the place. Let all, as well
as the schools, observe the day, and
each plant a tree, not as a pure
matter of sentiment, but because it
is practical that it should be done.
The state superintendent depart
ment has issued a beautiful little
book as it's Arbor and Bird Day
Annual, which contains many valu-
able suggestions for the day. From
the little volume we produce the fol-
lowing from ''Notes of the Night, "
