The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1902-11-27


Currie G. Bell, editor of the Bay
field Press, was in the city Monday.
The Press has been taking long
strides forward of late, and is re-
splendent in new dress, and was
printed last week on a splendid new
cylinder press.
Otto Christianson, county clerk of
Sawyer county, was in the city Tues
dav. He was here for the purpose
OF helping to canvass the assembly
returns, and looking after some coal
for the Hayward court house.
Mr.. Scott B. Prowell, of Ashland,
has been selected as leader for the
new Washburn Choral Club. The
new organization gives every evil
dence of being a healthy institution,
and is prospecting finely. Some
good talent is being developed
through it.
Post Office Inspector E. E. Fraser,
of Eau Claire, spent several days in
this locality during the past week,
looking after violations Of the postal
regulations. Mr.. Fraser caused the
the arrest of Mrs. Cassidy, and says
she will likely be convicted of the
charge brought against her.
The Steamer Fashion is
now in the fish business
at Bayfield,, and is doing work for
the Booth people. The amount of
fish being brought into the Bayfield,
docks is said to be something inn
mense. Lake Superior is giving up
it's fish in great quantities.
"Thuringa's Oh irritable Queen, a
very pretty five act drama, was
rendered by the young people Of the
St. Louis Congregation last even
ing. Besides the drama there were
number of choice musical selec-
tions, and the entertai nment as a
whole was counted a success.
Captain Brewer informsf us that
the Steamer Lucille is in the dry dock
at Duluth, and will be completely
overhauled and rebuilt this winter
by the Duluth Dry Docks Company.
When the boat goes into commission
next spring it will be almost impos-
sible to believe that it is the same
boat, so extensive will the changes
and improvements be.
Iron River Pioneer: The saw mill
of the Alexander & Edgar Lumber
Co. has resumed operation today
after three weeks shutdown for re-
pairs. The upper part of the slab
burner has been rebuilt and many re-
pairs and improvements have been
made in and about the mill, the
most important being the installing
of double cut band saws. The new
saw will increase the capacity about
thirty per cent.
S. Perlman expects to have his
new store running in few days,
perhaps by the last of this week, or
the forepart of next. \ He will carry
a full and complete line of jewelry.
Mr.. Perlman's son will likely attend
to the store most of the time, while
Mr. Perlman will continue to sell
goods in the woods and in the neigh
boring towns, the same as he is now
doing.
A cargo of black diamonds, in the
shape of hard coal, arrived at the
dock of the Northwestern Fuel Com
pany, this week, and is being unload
ed onto the dock. The many people
vino have been waiting for many
weeks for few chunks of the pre-
cious stuff will now be rewarded for
their patience. The selling price
made by the Fuel Company is $7.75
a ton. Deliveries will perhaps COM
mence tomorrow.
Frank Harwood has moved the
Washburn Dye and Cleaning works
to the Prudhomme building, a few
doors west of the post office.
Where he will be pleased to meet all
his old and new customers. Mr..
HARDWOOD has a faculty for doing
first-class work, and has built up a
very good business in the few
months he has been with US. Those
who have had cleaning and pressing
done by him are unanimous in their
