What Will Best Advance the Interests Of WaShburn.
BY JOHN WALSH,

Towns and cities are cursed be-
cause their own people talk them
down. A man who cannot bless his
own community, the place in which
he lives, should not be called a
patriot any where else.
In the development of the "New
North l believe Washburn will
hold a place as one of the principal
cities. It needs however, the CO.
operation of all it's citizens in bring
ing on the advancement and a
healthy public sentiment should be
maintained. Our people should
never let pass an opportunity to
put in a good word for the town, to
tell of it's excellent natural advan
tages of location on the bay that
constitutes the finest harbOr on the
Great Lakes, Of It's fine railroad
facilities, Of the fertility of our agri-
cultural lands, of the healthful char
acter of our climate and of the vigor
and enterprise of our citizens. We
must have courageous confidence in
the town to inspire the same con-
idence abroad.
The evident purpose in the past of
our business m en-, has been to rely
principally on the trade built up
and maintained by the transitory
lumber industry, but now that the
timber in this locality will soon be
cut, it is of vital Importance that
the attention of these men be turned
in other directions. la view of our
location we must look to the devel-
opment of our agricultural resources
and to our manufacturing and ship.
ping facilities.

north central Wisconsin, having the
disad vantage of being inland towns,
have lost rothing by the decline Of
the lumber industry, but have as a
matter of fact, in recent years, de-
veloped with wonderful rapidity aud
stability, by the enterprise, princi-
pally of the citizens who pros pered
when these towns were saw mill
towns, and by the influx Of reliable
man ufacturing concerns.
| believe that the time is oppor-
tune for the organization Of an Ad-
vancement Association. Much coul d
be doce by such an organization in
the way of inducing manufacturing
plants to locate bere. [ am told
that such a organization at Ashla.,d
lately was the means Of locating d
large co-operage plant in that city.
There is no reason WHY snch con

lions for the MANUFACTURES of pals,

advantage to be near the ba>p o:

burn. The labor situation in many
of the large cities of the country,
is driving many large manufacture
ing concerns to locate their plan is
in country towns, and the attention
of these should be directed this way.
All our people should take a lively
interest in the development, and
settlement should be encouraged by
every one. Too much Importance
can not be attached to this feature

the town boards. If Washburn is
incorporated, the city will probably
have five wards. Two aldermen will
be elected from each wa I'd. These
with the mayor will constitute the
city council. Such body of men
elected under the Australian ballot
system and acting under the general
charter law could not Go otherwise
than give US more general repre-
sentatlon on the county board, as
supervisor would be elected from
each ward, who would be member
Of the county board. Something of
this kind must be done if we wish to
maintain prestige on the county
board. The formation of new towns
will bring to the county board more
members. and we must be prepared
for the influence they might exert
against on the county board, in
matters for instance like the equal
ization Of towns.
| believe that there is a great deal
of confusion in the accounts between
the town and the county. The town
has been, think, improperly
charged with large sums that have
been related TO persons who have
made settlement or compromises of
taxes with thes county board, and
have purchased tax certificates from
the county at less than face. These
matters should be settled before
they became old in the minds of
persons who have been connected
Herewith and a complete accounting
between the town and county should
be had. The legal burdens of the
town are already too much, and none
other should be assumed. A more
lively interest in the public welfare
should be engendered in to our people
with the permanent upbuilding of
the town in view. A general clean
illness in public and private affairs
should be sought after. A desire
for heater homes and premises, for
cleaner and better streets, for pub
lie parks and for general observance
OF the penal code, attest the virtue
OF people. The past has gone, and
the future opens the door to greater
responsibilities, and I trust to great
err progress and prosperity.
In our desire for bette govern
ment, we might say with the poet
Holland:-
'God give US men; a time like this demands,
Strong minds great lie lrts, true faith and
ready hands,
Men WHOM: the lust of Office does not kill,
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot buy,
Men who possess opinions AMI will
Men who have homer; men who will not
lie"

'of our growth. More settlement
and clearing OF land has been done
in this vicinity within the past few
years than is known to the casual
observer. ] predict that within ten
years, instead Of hay, potatoes and
butter being shipped into Washburn
these staples Will be shipped out.
There is either creamery or a
cheese factory at almost every cross

9rn half Of the state. Bayfield,
county has none. A few days ago,
the proprietor of the Ashland
creamery told me that his creamery
was an excellent business venture.
The field for such an industry at
Washburn should be occupied
In recent years large fortunes
have been made in the eastern part
OF the state by concerns engaged in
the canning of green peas and beans.
Our soil and climate are admirably
adapted to the growth OF these
cereals, and such an industry could
find, and believe will ultimately
find an admirable location at Wash
burn.
We should have a trial at holding
the county fair. I have attended
the last three fairs held at lion
River, and [ am convinced that the
Association that manages the fair
does not receive the necessary local
support to make the fair success
to any great degree. I believe that
the charac ter and sentiment of the
people at Washbnrn are such that
they would take great pride in hold
ing an excel ent county fair.
am one of those who believe
that the village of Washburn, should
take steps at once to procure city
charter. 1t could never have been
fairly intended by any legislative
body, that community as populaus
as ours should be governed by the
township system. Every legislature
which since the admission of the
state, has labored with zeal, to per-
feet laws for the government of cities
until now Wisconsin has most ex-
cellent general charter law.

The Hero of the Lake Region.

A story Of an heroic and intelligent
act by young collie dog comes from
Cages Lake, ILL.,, and as result the dog
has found Il new home, and where he
will be treated as one of the family. One
afternoon, Il few days ago, Il 34-year-old
child disappeared from the camp on the
shores of the lake where the child's
parents were enjoying an outing. When
darkness came on the child had not put
in an appearance, and everybody turned
out to search for her. All nj ght the
search was kept up, and the anxiety OF
the parents knew no bounds. Finally 1t
was concluded the little one had died in
the water, and arrangements were made
by the father to drag the lake. The camp
of the family is on the farm of Henry
Meak. The next day, about 10 o'clock,
Mr.. Meak was returning from driving
his cattle to pasture, and his dog ran
with him. Suddenly the animal began
barking territically under pile of brush.
Mr.. Meak thought little of it and
passed ON, calling to the dog to follow,
but the animal kept on barking and
refused to move Finally, drawn from
curiosity, the dogs owner thought he
would investigate, and going to the
brush, saw asleep on the ground the
little wanderer, wholly obliyious to her
surroundings, and unconscious that she
had been the cause of SO much excite
ment and worry, says the Live Stock
Tribune. She was picked up and carried
home to the fearful mother, and the
entire community rejoiced at her being
found. The father of the child went to
the farmer and insisted that he should
have the dog. He gave good price for
the collie, which is now the hero of the
lake region.

Satisfactory Guarantee.

A stock boy in the sales room of one of
the silk thread houses of the city enter
tains the hope of one day being sales
man. To encourage this among the
clerks it is the policy of the house to
allow certain commission on all sales
outside, where such sales do not conflict
with the regular statesmen. The youth
in question, just past sixteen, sold 4 bill
of silk a few days ago in Manayunk,
which is his home. After waiting two
days for the order to be passed to the
store for attention he approached the
credit man and made inquiry about the
delay. He was told that before mere
account could be opened something must
be learned about the standing of the
person placing the order. This had
never occurred to the young salesman
and for a moment he was lost as to what
to say. Seeing his embarrassment the
credit man said: "Well, Smith, what do
YOU know about this man? Possibly
you can give us the desired information "
Pulling himself together and assuming
the air of a salesman of many years
experience, he said: "Well, I'll tell you !;
he is the uncle of my girl, and it he's
like her he's all right l wouldn't mind
guaranteeing the account" The goods
were delivered the same day.-Philadel

Justice, charged with violation of the
health laws, and, as is customary, the
warrant was read to him before the case
opened. 1t stated that the applicant for
the warrant acted on Conformation and

should thoroughly understand the nature
of the proceedings, said:
"I presume you know what this
means?"
"Yes, sir" answered the culprit.
"What does it mean" asked his
Honor, not yet satisfied.
Joseph did not seem to be able to

ONIONS AND LEMONS.
Said to BE u Protection In Cases OF
CONTAGIOUS Disease.


When a mere lad l had often heard 1t
said that the eating Of onions and
lemons was n protection against conta-
gious diseases, and when about eight
cen years Of age 1 had an opportunity
to test them for myself. l had spent
the winter IN the city Of New Orleans,
where, in the spring. yellow fever OF
virulent type made its appearance,
causing an urgent demand for nurses,
and, having faith in what had heard
Of the protective power Of oaens and
lemons, I concluded to take what my
friends called a ghastly risk and made
application at the Common Street hos
pital for a position as nurse, was ac-
cepted and entered at once upon line
Of duty, in commencing which began
the use of raw onions and lemons, al
ternating weekly With lemons, always
taking them just before going to bed.
I took no other remedy, although
medicine was provided every morning
for all attaches. At the expiration OF
the tenth week was no longer needed
and left in as vigorous health as when
I entered the hospital.
On taking my departure l was re-
minded by the head physician that his
medicine had probably preserved my
health. Nevertheless a number or
nurses and attaches had died OF the
fever, despite his vaunted medical abil-
ity. Before leaving the institution ac-
auainted the doctor with the fact that
I had not used his medicine, but had
relied solely upon my onion-lemon
treatment. when he said it was a Won
der that it had not killed me and If It
had that had deserved It.
On another occasion had a similar
experience with smallpox cases In
northern city, finding the onion and
lemon a perfect protection to myself
and many Of my associates.-Medical
