Expansion In Northern Wisconsin.


The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin a few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaDing their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense of the word. Or
portunities have not passed bv any
means. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as we'll as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude Of iron ore, clay. kaolip.
mari and timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.

Washburn' IS Town Treasurer Passes Away

Town treasurer L. 0. Johnson
died last Friday morning, after an
illness of several years. He had
been the victim of lingering con-

the people chose him three success

position he held at the time of his
death. Mr.. Johnson has lived here
for over twelve years, and for long
time was in the employ of Manager
G.. M. Sawyer, of the Northwestern

unquestioned honor, and possessed
considerable ability. The deceased
was member of the Odd Fellows

the remains were inferred in the
Protestant cemetery. A family
survives the deceased.
L. O. Johnson was a native Of

didates. Up to this morning there
are four candidates for the office of
town chairman, eight for supervisor
and six for treasurer. The assessor
and clerk may be able to hold over
without opposition. AS there are
no Straight, " in the field and no
definitely defined issues, the battle
necessarily settles down to per-
sonal con test as between the differ
ent candidates. In such contes is it
is usually said that the best man
wins, but this is not always true as
the mix-up is liable to result some
times in most any kind of a man
winning. However the voter can
carefully study the situation and
pick his men-and after his ballot is
cast can go TO MS nome hoping and
trusting that the action of the
voters will result in the selection Of
good men and true.
The candidates as announced are:
Chairman; Dan McBeath, ?. A.
Oscar, Nels Nelson, A. M. Warden.
SUPERVISOR Andrew Nelson, Ed.

Notice.

Notice to all parties ordering
election tickets at the Washburn
printing offices:
The experience of last year ad-
monishes US that the only way to
print tickets to the satisfaction of
all parties concerned is to collect
pay for the same when ordered
Last year several parties refused to
pay because they claimed that some
of the combinations did them no
good. This year the rule will be
that the party ordering the tickets
will be held responsible for the pay
for the same, and we find that the
best way is to pay for the tickets
when they are ordered, and then
whether win or lose the bills are
paid and there is no collecting to do
after election. The rule will there
for be that all the tickets printed at
the Offices of the undersigned must
be paid for when they are ordered
We would suggest that in order to
perfect combinations orders be sent
in as early as possible.
