Just, Supposing!

Surprising the cost of two til on
sand candle power electric lights
over twelve hundred candle power
lights. was two-fifths greater, or
supposing the cost of two thousand
candle power lights which city
might contract was twice as greart
as one thousand candle power lights
which had been furnished for years
it stand to reason that
the lighting company who had been
collecting year after year for the
two thousand candle power light
and furnishing about half or less
than that, would be somewhat in
debt to the city. And what IS to
prevent the city making the collec-
ton? And why doesn't ciry that
is getting that kind of service, in
vestigate?

Buying from the Farmer.

There has beef a good deal of
complaint this year from the
farmers in the vicinity of Wash
burn about not being able to find
a market for their goods from
the business men of this city. and
in consequence they have to take
their goods to Ashland or shin
them to other places to dispose
of them. The lands around this
city are being rapidly settled by
farmers, and the peopleand bust
ness men should give them every
couragement they can and help
them, along as the farmers are
the means Of building up CITY.
and their trade means a good
deal to a place. Let everyone do
all they can to help them along.

The County Census.

County Clerk Nels M. Oscar
has q large force Of young ladies
at work in his office copying the
census returns. The law pro-
vides for copy of these returns
to be filed with the secretary of
state, and the original with the
register Of deeds Of the county
wherein the census is taken. Tie
count reveals. the singular fact
that the city Of Washburn, the
towns of Washburn and Eileen.
contain 1914 persons, exactly the
same as contained in the old town
of Washburn, which was COM
posed Of the, same territory, i've
years ago. 1t is plainly evident
that the country grown, and the
natural deduction is that there
has been a decrease in the city S
population, but not to any CON
siderable extent. The decis-
sion Of population in the follow
ing is made to show the differ
ent places as they stood in 1900,
and as they are now.

receives a more cordial welcome in

Famous Shows which play their an
nual engagement in this city Friday,
August 4th.
Year after year they have visited
this city, always presenting the
most refined and highest class per-
formances ever presented under can
vas in this citv, Up to the present
year they have had four distinct
shows on The road. but knowing that
the public are always looking for
ward to their show being on larger
and grander scale than oil its prev
ious visit, they have combined all
theirs shows into one gigantic
amusementer terprise, and the many
patrons Of these famous shows in
past seasons will hardly recognize
them this year, as they are now
positively twice larger than ever be-
fore.
Two performances will be given
tomorrow at Els in the afternoon
and in the evening at 5 o'clock
sharp.
The grand street parade one mile
long which is said to eclipse all form
er efforts by any circus, will leave
the show grounds at 1890 o'clock
sharp on the morning of the day Of
exhibition. You can afford to miss
Gentry's all new show this year.
