expects to make good collection
before the time comes for turning
over the roll.
Asa McMullen who has been at
work in Frost & Spies stores for
several months, has gone to Duluth
where he has q position. Martin
Sweet is back in the store again, and
looks as natural behind the counters
as do the picture of St. JACOB on
the bottles back on the shelf.
The members of the |. S. w. A.
and their friends enjoyed a New
Years dance at the Opera House on
the night of January 3rd. The
affair was a success in every particu-
lar, and furnished one of the enjoya
BILE times for which the I S. W. A.
and It's members are noted.
Attorney Thomas Spence, of the
law firm of Quarles, Spence and
Quarles, OF Milwaukee, was in the
city Friday, trying to adjust tax
matter with the County Tax Com
mission. He wants to secure a re-
ductiOn of the tax of the Prentice
Brownstone Company for last year.
About twenty-five Washburn peo-
pie attended The production Of
"Salambo, daughter of Hamilcar,"
by the noted actress Blanche Walsh,
at toe opera house in Ashland, last
Friday night. The production was
one of the finest ever given in
this part of the state, and those who
went to Ashland to see it were
greatly pleased with the play.
Peter Kjaerwick has been ap-
pointed deputy sheriff and jailor by
Sheriff Simpson. Mr.. Simpson
moved into the Jail Monday. Mr..
Lien the retiring sheriff, moved into
the residence vacated by M. A.
Fraser, while Mr. Fraser moved in
to the Simpson residence. 1t was
simply case of three families
changing houses, and it kept them
busy getting out of each others
way.
The receipts of the Washburn post
Office for the year just closed from
postal sources, being the rental of
boxes and sale of stamps, amounted
to S., 627.51, being the largest year
in the history of the Office. This
figure was separate and apart from
the money order department, which
sometimes runs many hundreds of
dollars in single Aday, and aggre-
gates over 100000 year. Decem-
Der was the banner month.
Mrs, Alvord is busy with the
children of the Congregational Sun
day School, training them for an en-
tertainment to be given some time
late this month. The marches that
were such a success in the Christ
mas cantata will be repeated, and in
addition there will be hoop and fan
drills and other interesting features.
The Christmas exercises were so
successful and the children showed
such aptitude at that time for enter
tainment, that they are % be given
another chance to improve on their
first efforts, while those who enjoyed
the first entertainment will no
doubt more fully appreciate the ore
that is to come.
Assemblymen E. A. Strong, of
Ashland, was in the city Friday,
looking after some matters of bust
ness, and getting ready to leave for
Madison to begin his winters work.
Mr.. Strong favors the election of
Ray as Speaker, and does not hook
up with the LaFollette people at all
on the organization of the House.
He is intentionally for the re-
election of Senator Spooner. On
questions of party policy, he is an
administration man, and believes
heartily in the primary election and
taxation measures. Strong is one
of that kind that does his own think

on to do absolutely what he thinks
to be right. He is man of splendid
ability, and will ably and conscien-
tiously represent the Ashland dis
trict.
A twenty days extension has been
