dents, and who remove the same
from the jurisdiction of the tax
officials and tax collectors of the
several towns during the sum-
mer, whereby large amount of
taxes is lost by the several towns
by reason of the inability of the
tax collector to collect the same.
owing to the fact that the owners
of such lumber which has been
removed, are non-residents and
there are no adequate means un-
der the tax law by which the
municipality can protect itself and
secure the payment of taxes in
on such property.
Therefore, be it resolved by
the County Board of Bayfield,
County that a copy of this reso-
luton be mailed to the honorable
Tax Commission of the state of
Wisconsin and the said Tax Com
mission is hereby petitioned and
memoralized to devise such
means under the present law,
if inadequate, to call the atten-
ton of the legislature now in
session to the same, to the end
that such bill will be presented
to the legislature to adequately
provide for the collection of said
taxes.

just Look!

Now that the snow is going and
the ground is becoming bare in
places we would like to have the
advocates OF turning the streets
over to the cows, take a look about
them. Just look around, take
peep at the streets, al the walks, the
alleys and the vacant lots, and see
if you don't conclude that the peo-
pie who advocate making a moss
back town and a COW yard of Wash
burn are not engaged in big bust
ness. It costs the town hundreds of
dollars to clean up after these bo-
vines every year, it costs more still
to repair broken sidewalks. The
curse of making COW yard of
Washburn will soon smell to heaven
and all for the lack of a little
backbone in the handling of the
question.

TO the Electors

Coming before you as a candidate
for Town Treasurer, at the coming
spring election, would appreciate
very much to receive the support of
friends and citizens. I have lived
among you for l6 years and I think
the electors have a right and it is
their duty to ascertain whether I am
qualified for this responsible office
and if my conduct as husband,
father and citizen has been such as
to merit your support in that case
and only then do [ ask and expect
your support.
Very Respectfully Yours,

The Board of Registration

The first meeting OF the board of
registration was held Tuesday, and
frequent sessions will be held from
now until election.time. The voters
should remember some of the ex-
periences of last fall, and see to it
that their names are on the registry
lists before election day comes
around. There is a general mis-
taken notion that it is the duty of
the board to place all names on the
list, out such is not the case. It is
the duty of each and every voter to
attend to the matter personally, but
If be fails to do this and his name
does not appear on the list there is
no one to blame but himself It is
not the duty of the board of regis
tration or of candidates for office or
Of q man S friends TO see to it that
some one else's name is on the lists,
but to make sure that the name is
there the man himself must register.
The Board, to be sure, will likely
make copy of previous poll lists,
and revise the registration SO far as
is possible for them to do so, but
they most certainly will not make a
business of going about town and
hunting up the different people, and
therefore their work cannot be ex-
pected to be in any manner COM
plete. Too many people pay but
little attention to the registration
until election day comes around. If
you don't look after this matter your
self you certainl y will have no kick
coming when you are obliged to
hunt up free holders aud swear in
your vote on election day. Give the
matter immediate attention. is the
advice the registration board is Of
fering:

A Rare Old Clock.

Gilbert OILS on has in his front
store window rare old time piece,
which is family heirlo and was
the property of his father in Nor
way. 1t is the same old kind of a
clock that songs are written about:
"My grandfather clock was too
tall for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the
floor
The clock was made in Norway
and is a beauty. The hands were
evidently pounded out by the village
blacksmith, and in many ways it
shows the results of local inventive
genius. Mr.. Olsen places great
value upon the old time piece owing
principal ly to it's family history.

Thoge Two Will Likely Make the Race for
Chairman,-Cahdidate ties for Treas
arer and Assessor are Very
NufneroHS.

There is everything to indicate
that the spring election will be a
d decidedly warm one, for not
withstanding that the day when
the great battle of ballots will be
fought is nearly four weeks off
there are candidates and rumOrS
of candidates. These am bitous
individuals are interesting their
friends, and there is more than
the usual amount of button Ol-
ING for this time Of the year.
Some of the candidates have not
yet got out of the woods, and in
these cases there is good deal Of
quiet spearing for advantage,
which if developed will increase
the already we'll filed field of
candidates. The Craftsmanship
has been the topic of discussion
for some time, and there have
been all sorts of rumors that all
kinds of candidates would be in
the field. At the present time,
however, the indications are that
the fight will be between Chair
man Nelson, who will likely
stand for reelection, and Fred
T. Yates. Both gentlemen will
have warm support.
There seems to be a dearth of
candidates for the Office of sup
ervisor, and this is explained by
the fact that therehas been some
talk of cutting down the sal
aries. However the following
are mentioned: Supervisors
Cudmoreand Oscar, and Martin
Sweet and NJ. Jerome.
The treasuryship seems to be
giving promise of a mix-up, as
there are candidates galore.
Treasurer Lee will likely be in
the field again and he feels conf
dent that his chances are gilt
edged. Other candidates are
VIM. f. Young, A. Rockstad,
Peter H. Hanson and II. J. Fin
stad.
r. A. Herring and n. Ostrum are
announced candidates for the
clerkship, while Ralph M. Man
ming is likely to become a factor
in the contest.
The assessorship also has
many candidates. It is under
stood that Mr.. Hughes is not a
candidate for another term, and
that the following will be in the
field: Tim Kearns, L. H. Lien,
James Kinnie, Ole Lake and Fred
Terrill.

Strange Predicameut of Former
County Officer.
SAYS MISTAKES IN HIS BOOKS.
The Examining Committee Submits Its Re-
port to the County Board.-A Memorial
to the Tax Commission, and Other
Matters Taken Up.

After having been County
Clerk for ten years John Fro
seth now finds that the troubles
of the Office are still with him.
According to the report of the
Committee appointed to check up
the county officers Mr.. Froseth's
accounts were $798. 38 off. The
report was submitted at the
meeting of the county board
Monday. 1t dealt with the
Offices of the treasurer and clerk.
The Committees report goes
back to 1895, and shows that the
report at that time showed that
the county had in redemption
moneys $j,098.06. The sales
books for the years '96 to Dec.
31st, 1902 shows that there
should have been on hand on the
lastdate $2,687. 81. The outgoing
clerk Mr.. Froseth has paid over
to his successor the sum of 81,
1886. Mr.. Froseth claims that
there is an item of $345.34 in his
account with the old Bank of
Washburn, that the actual
amount of money be had in the
bank at that time was that much
more than ne received credit for
when the county board fixed up
the Bay Land and improvement
Company tax deal with him
several years ago. The resolu-
ton at that time relieved him of
his troubles with the bank inso-
far as the particular tax matter
was concerned, and now Mr.. Fro
seth claims that he did not get
full credit, the above amount
being the difference. The coun-
ty board accepted his word
for this statement without MAX
ing any investigation, and reso-
luton signed by Supervisor F.
j. Savage, of Iron River, was
passed authorizing him to take
credit for the added amount.
This still leaves a balance due the
county Of $453.04. Mr.. Froseth
told the board that "there was
mistake somewhere" and he
could not account for it. The
Board very promptly proceeded
to take his word for this also, and
passed a resolution that Mr.. Fro
seth furnish a bond of $500 that
he would make good the amount
unless the trouble was discOv-
cred, and they told him to lind
the difference. The Committe
speaks in their report of this dis
screpancy, and says that it pos
sible that Mr.. F'roseth may be
right, as they found seven items
of redemptions paid out in 1894
amounting to $63.79. An item in
the reportshows the amount due
the county. 1t says:
''This amount $453.04 together
with $$345. "a, Bank of Washburn
difference, as shown by sales
books and amount paid to N. M.
Oscar, present county clerk. "
Mr.. Froseth is placed in the
strange position of having to dis
pute his own records, and the
| County Board have magnanimous-
ly glvenh him every chance TO snow
wherein he has made SO many
mistakes.
The Board adopted a memoir
ial to the Tax Commission which
is a matter of a good deal of i'm
portance, relating as it does to
to tax matters which affect this
section Of the state very largely.
The memorial says:
WHEREAS, there is on the first
of May of each year a large
