Professor d. E. Cameron has noti-
fed the school board that at the end
OF the present school year he will
sever his connection with the public
suhools. Professor Cameron has
been at the head of the Washburn
schools for number of years and
Tor many more years has been active
ly engaged in the school work. He
will go to Eau Claire to take the
agency for the New York Life In
snrance Company, and will engage
in the business of life insurance as a
permanent employment.
Judge H. S. Comstock, of Cumber-
land, the represen tative OF Governor
LaFoliette in the government claims
held by the state. was in the city
Tuesday, and called upon number
of the influential republicans with a
view to getting their opinions regard
ing the probability of the Bayfield,
county delegation going for the gov
ernor. in case he should be candi-
date for the third term. Judge
Comstock has very successfully
prosecuted the states claims against
the government in his work at
Washington during the past three
years.
Ralph B. Manning has returned
from Hayward where he has been
for nearly a year in charge OF the
Hayward Republican. He severed
his connection with the paper last
week and at present is visiting his
people here. Ralph run good, clean
readable newspaper and kept it up to
standard in every manner. He re-
fused to be drawn into the petty
scrambles of Sawyer county politi-
clans and every issue of his paper
was clean, interesting and credit
to Mr. Manning as its editor. No
man could have done better in such
a disreputable place as Hayward
than Mr.. Manning.
Secretary III. S. Fairall, of the
North Wisconsin Farmers Associa-
ton spent q day in the city during
the week, and in company with Mr..
E. A. Bell, of the Executive Com
mittee, secured fifty members to the
Association Mr. Fairall expects to
carry on the work in the four coun-
ties of Bayfield,. Douglas, Ashland
and Iron until two thousand mem
bers are secured. These members
at one dollar each will make the two
thousand dollar fund which it is pro-
vided in the cons titution and bylaws
of the association must be secured
before active work can be COM
menced. Permanent headquarters
are to be established at Iron River
with Mr.. Fairall in charge and it is
altogether probable that some splen-
did results will follow from the
work which is to be carried on.
The most vital issue is between
the Governor hobby on rate com
mission and the business and mar u
featuring interests of the state
which are opposing it. The primary
law scheme has been threshed out
by two legislatures and is now be-
fore the people for final settlement.
It is no longer an issue and results
will not be changed by anything
that the state convention may do in
nominating a candidate for COVER
nor. AS regards railroad legis,a-
ton, however, the governor is not
only committed to rate commits
sion, butts advocating this Iowa in
novation as one of his pet measures.
Should he succeed it means that
