much drinking, and Murphy was
turned loose and ordered to leave

light tie path. Another robbery
OF somewhat greater extent took

City Council Meets.

The city county held meeting
Tuesday night, and took up the
license question, theresult being
that the city clerk and city at
torney were instructed to get
matters in shape for a special
election at which the license fee
for saloons will be established.
The present fee is five hundred
dollars.
The matter of purchase of the
electric lighting plant came up
and "a. communication was re
ceived from tie company sug-
costing that if the city wishes to
purchase that they should pro
coed under the franchise which
provides for the appointment of
three appraisers who will fix a
price. This evidently did not
please the council, and they re-
ferred the matter back to the
committee with instructions to
secure proposition, if possible,
from the lighting company.
E. Bryan was appointed keeper
of the dumping grounds at
salary of twenty dollars a month,
and arrangements were made
with him for the use of a part of

The Dog License

City Attorney John Walsh says
that the uog licence ordinance is un-
doubtedly legal in all respects. not
withstanding reports TO the con
trary. and that it will remain in its
present shape unless someone wishes
to bring an action to set it aside,
which does not seem likely, The
objection raised against the ordin-
ance, upon which it's illegality was
claimed, is that it made a special
kennel rate. Mr.. Walsh is inclined,
after looking the matter up, to think
that this feature is legal and proper.
ThefAuierics.a Field, Published in
Chicago and New York, commented
at length in the first editorial in the
paper, June 4th, pointing out some
of the features of the ordinance, and
CHASING it as one of the best ordin-
ances. of the kind adopted in any city
in the United States. The Ameri-
can Field is one of the leading pub
LEGATIONS of the country. The paper
says that the action of the council
in passing an ordinance that will
foster the keeping of good kennels is
the proper thing, and recommends
the adoption of a similar ordinance
in all cities throughout the country.
Look up and down the main street
of Washburn any day when the
weather is respectfully inclined, and
you will see large numbers of farmers
wagons. This means that the coun-
try has developed rapidly. as this
sort of thing was unknown five years
ago, Where a handful of farmers
were settled on the lands then, now
there are hundreds of people engaged
in carving out homes. 1t was
formerly a question as to what could
be raised-now it is only the ques-
ton of utilizing the soil, for every
one knows that most anything that
grows anywhere can be produced
right here at home. Northern Wis
consin has gained recognition as
the greatest grass country on the
content, and in addition there is
oothing in the way of vegeta bles Or
grains that cannot be made to do as
well here as anywhere. Land is
still cheap, but advancing steadily
every year. and the man who waits
to get a piece of land for farming
pur poses will find that the sooner he
makes his purchase the cheaper will
he be able to get his land. And the
man who opens up piece of land
will never have anything to regret,
as it will pay him well on his invest
ment, The farmers OF Bayfield,
county have met with success, and
their experience should be guide
for others who are looking for some
thing to go into which will be of
permanent benefit to themselves and
families.

The negroes are a source of vexation

But would we exchange them for the

The PENSION GREER.

Speaking of the pension order of the
President, the Outlook, which is
warm supporter of the Administration
and Roosevelt enthusiast on most
subjects, says:
''In our opinion, this action is an
evasion of an issue that ought squarely
to have been met. There IS no reason
to believe that this concession will
satisfy those who demand service pen
sions without limitation; it only puts
off the evil day. The country is weary
of having the matter of pensions
brought up on the eve of elections; 1t
is tired of the process of pressure, it
wishes to deal with its really disabled
soldiers most generously, bnt 1t ought
to exclude all able bodied men from
the pension rolls. In our Judge
ment, the bureau has not only taken a
very questionable and possibly an lie
gal step but 1t has been weak where 1t
ought to have been strong, and sur
rendered when it fought to have fought

sumes very grave responsibility IN
