The Port Wing Harbnr.


The River and Harbor bill has
passed congress and is law. In it
there is provision for the establish
ing of harbor of refuge at Port
Wing. The people of Port Wing
have Congressman Jenkins to thank
for his persistent efforts in getting
them the appropriation. The pro-
vision of the bill for Port Wing is as
follows:
Improving the harbor at Port
Wing, Wisconsin, in accordance
with the report submitted in House
Document Numbered One hundred
and fourteen, Fifty-sixth Congress,
first session, for a harbor of refuge,
twenty-five thousand dollars: Pro.
yided, That no part of said sum
shall be expended until the title Of
the land necessary for the estab
lishment of said harbor. according
to said report, SHALL have been pro
perly and legally conveyed by OF
through the authorities of Port
1 Wing to the United States Govern
ment.

Washburn people have taken the
initiative and Will celebrate the
Fourth OF. July with regal splendor.
lie the intervals between the firing
of political rockets during the past
week some of the citizens have taken
the time to get together and make
preliminary plans for celebration
that will be BETTING to the great
day. There will be all kinds of
amusements and plenty of fun for
everybody. The old vexed question
as to where to have the sports is up
again and is as far from being settled
as ever. The compromise OF years
that have gone may again be made,
but this includes the ridicul-
Gus performance of starting the
games and races at one cad of the
town and stringing them the entire
length of the city. If Washington
Avenue is going to cause trouble in
these matters contin ually isn't it
about time that something was done
to straighten out the crook that
shuts off the two ends of Bayfield,
street and do away with all this
|foolishness over the two ends" of
our little burg? The TIMES would
Suggest that it is about time to have
| the games and sports conducted in a
sensible sort of a way. They should
| all be held in one place, as there is
absolutely no sense in people chas-
ling their legs off for a little amuse
lment, and a great many people re-
fuse to do it. Why not have the
games all at the ball park, or on
/ Washington Avenue, Eighth avenue,
4 or anywhere else as long as they are
| in one place. Then people can see
them without the necessity of crowd
ing and moving throughout the en-
tire length of the town. Of course
The TINES only says these things
! in the way Of suggestion to the local
people, but to the outsiders we will
| say thaG if you come to Washburn
on the Fourth you will have the
opportunity of your life for big
time.
