The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-12-15


since has been very serious.
D. M. Maxcy and A. W. Mcleod
were in Eau Claire Tuesday and
Wednesday settling up matters in
the Carmichael estate with the coun-
ty court. They were given absolute
possession of the Carmichael proper
ty, which will hereafter be managed
by the Messrs. w. G.. and D. M.
Maxcy and John A. Jacobs.
There ought to be two or three
rural delivery mail routes running
out of Washburn. It would be q big
thing for the city and for the farm :
ers in the surrounding country.
Such routes can be easily secured, as
it will require but little work on the
part of some of the citizens to get
the proper petitions going to caus
the routes to be laid out.
The matter of reducing the num-
Der of the city wards is occupying
the attention of the council, and it is
likely that the first and second ward
will be combined, and that similar
action will be taken with the Seventh
and eighth wards. The committee
will likely redistrict the wards so as
to cut out an additional ward, leav-
ing five wards in the city. 1t is
said that the change will make
material saving in many ways for
the city.
The exhibits of the manual train
ing department of the Washburn
schools which will be taken to Mil
waukee for exhibition at the state
teachers association, have been at
the post Office for the past two or
three days in order 10 give the people
chance to see the work of the
pupils. 1t is surprising to note the
advancement the pupils are making
under the direction of Superintend-
emit Broderick. and these exhibits are
far better than the ones sent to the
ST. Louis exhibition.
w. E. Page, fire insurance adjust
er for the German American Insur-
ance company. was in the city
Thursday, and adjusted the loss on
the DR.. Spears residence and the
household belongings of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Jones. A couple of Ashland
contractors were put at work on
the house and their figures as to the
loss were accepted, and the company
pays 2,036 for damage to the build
ing. The full amount of insurance,
$1,000, held by Mr.. and Mrs. Jones.
was allowed. The house was lnsur-
ed through the L. N. Clansen agency,
while the household goods were in
the American Central Insurance
company, which is represented in
Washburn by Morgan & Axelberg.
The insurance companies acted
promptly in making their adjust
ment and with perfect satisfaction
to the parties insured.
The nomination of John X, Parish
as non partisan candidate for cir
cult Judge is being effected, and bis
papers were circulated throughout
Wasbburn during the week, and
were very generally signed. The
number of signatures of principal
business men is indeed gratifying to
the Judges friends. Judge Parish
will likely have opposition, as some
of the larger corporate interests OF
the circuit do not tire in their oppo-
sition to him, owing undoubtedly to
the fact that IL personal injury and
other similar suits the poor man
stands or an equal footing with the
richest in his court. There is a
growing conviction, and it is to be
seen in the additional support that
is coming to the Judge in this To-
cality, that Judge Parish should be
retained on the bench. No one has
ever questioned the honesty and in
tegrity of his court, and it is place
where litigants can go in full conf.
dence that their every right will be
protected. Judge Parish has made
an excellent man on the bench, and
the people will undoubtedly elect
him next spring by the largest ma
jority he has ever received in the
circuit. Believing that he is tht
proper man to succeed himself TIL
TINES will support Judge Parish, ne
matter who runs against him.
