ploy of THE TIMES for long time,
began work in the Bayfield, County

a large tract of land from John
Wayne at Engoe, and will move his
family to that place. He has a re
sponsible position at the dynamite

With twenty-four delegates in the
republican county convention which
is to meet next week Bayfield, county
will be assuming airs of Importance,
It is altogether probable that there
will be little if any contest in the
convention, as it seems to be under
stood among nearly everyone that

opposition for denomination.
The trout season opened on the
18th of the month and a few anglers
have already tried the streams with
small success Owing to the high
and murky water in different creeks
and rivers the fish are not to be
found in a ferocious condition and
consequently are not eager to bite
the fsherman's hook. The season
lasts until September and before
many weeks the fishermen will be
crowding the streams.
Judge Ernest Sauve, of Iron River,
was in the city Saturday for a short
time, attending to matters of bust
ness. Mr.. Sauve will assume the
duties of Municipal Judge of the
Second Municipal Court of Bayfield,
county on May 1st. He says that
although his plurality was not large
that he is entirely satisfied with
the result, and ascribes the big run
made by his opponents in the race,
to his own lack of work and over
confidence.
Well how does the city form of
government appeal to you? The
town board passed out of existence
Tuesday, and now Washburn has
had an opportunity to watch the OPP
GRAFTON of it's first city council. 1t
is pretty hard to determine just
when ard where the old town gov
eminent left off, and where the city
government began. but it is beyon nd
question that Washburn is now
really and truly" a city of the
fourth class.
