llghttng company. and we believe
we have done SO impartiallv. The
electric light company have repeat
edly claimed that they were fur
nlshlng 1000 candle power ligh is,
and furnished the council committee
with figures purporting to say that
the cost OF 1000 candle power Ii ghts
over ], 200 candle power lights was
two-ffths greater, and gave that
as reason for their figures. Less
than three weeks ago the electric
lighting company made test of
their lights-the exact date of that
test was August Goth. Why didn't
the electric light company tell the
council that as a result of that
test they were not operating 1000
candle power lights?
The TIMES has done it's full duty
in the electric lighting matter and
it is now up to the council. The
council has ordered a test of the
lights, and it is their own fault if
they do not get that test. IF they
do get that test THE TINES predicts
that it will be shown that the candle
power of the electric lights of Wash
burn are approximately" to use
their own term of expression, 825
CANDLE POWER. Now then. if the
wore of the electric light company,
as furnished to the council commit
tee on lighting is accepted that two
fifths more should be charged for
1000 candle power lights more than
1900 candle power lights, how many
thousands of dollars should be paid
back to the city in case they have
been furnishing 825 candle power
lights for fourteen years and paying
for 1000 candle power lights.
WHY'S THE TEST NOT MADE?

crease in Attendance in all the

The public schools opened
Tuesday morning. and everything
started off smoothly. There is
an increased attendance in all the
departments, and the increase
IN the school census of $50
this summer is shown in nearly
every branch of the public
school service. The high
school had an enrolment of,
s. students on Tuesday, and
Superintendent Oscar says that
by January 1st this will be in
creased to 100, Miss Margaret
Feldhansen opened her school in
the eighth grade with sixty four
students. The manual training
departments being put in shape
by the new teacher, Mr.. J. P.
Granner, and will be in full SWING
next week. A new complication
is liable to arise in this depart
ment as a result of the request
Of the Reverend Father Uric,
who as the head of the Catholic
parochial school, has made a re-
quest for the admission Of the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades
of his school to the manual train
ing partment of the public
schools. If this request is ac-
ceded to by the public school
authorities it will be necessary to
provide an assistant for Mr..
Granner in. the department..
There are about forty students
in the parochial school who would
take the work if they were adj
mitted. The parochial schools
started Tuesday morning, at
the same time as the public
schools.

Are After the Postmaster.

Mr.. Frank J. Meehan, Ere
tired capitalist, and an owner
of considerable hypothecated
stock of the Washburn Electric
Light and Power company. and
Fred T. Yates, secretary of the
same concern, together with a
brietiess lawyer up the street,
have taken it upon themselves to
file voluminous charges with the
postoffice department. against
J. r. Jones, postmaster of the
city of Washburn. In all pro-
liability an inspector of the de-
partment will be in Washburn
very soon, and sift the charges
to the bottom. And then Messrs.
Meehan, of the hypothecated
stock, and Secretary Yates with
his axe to- grind, will be brought
face to face with condition that
will mean they must prove their
assertions, and The TIMES hopes
they will make their case clear
and explicit. the same as this
paper has done in the way Of
showing up the colossal grab of
the Washburn Electric Light and
Power Company.
Trumped up charges never will
stand before any partial in
vestlgation, and thepostofice. de-
partment does nothing except
impartially. and will so clear to
the bottom of these things COM
planned of by the hypothecated
and 'secretaryship interests of
the electric company, and The
TIMES unhesitatingly predicts
that the result will be that the
postmaster of Washburn will get
an absolutely clean bill, aud that
our electric friends will find
themselves whipped out of their
boots before they get through
with this matter. The post
master of Washburn will well
come an investigation into all
matters connected with his adj
ministration of the Office for the
past seven and a half years.

they have frst-c.ass equipm ent

COUNCIL
H#I4 .AaE
City Fathers Hold Regular Monthly
Meeting.
THE LIGHTING MATTER is UP.
Council Adopts Report OF It's Committee
Turing Down all Propositions of Light

Before the Council.

InC SiVy COuucll naQ meeting
Tuesday night. and took up some
matters of Importance. All the
sidewalks on the south side of Bay
field street from First avenue east
to First avenue west were con-
demned, and also were the walks on
the north side Of Third street from
Washington avenue to third avenue
west. These walks, which are all
wooden, were declared unsafe and
insufficient. and the owners of the
abuttlng property will be ordered to
replace them with cement walks.
The resignation of Joseph Vaillan-
cour, who recently left the city, as
alderman from the seventh ward,
was accepted.
The report of the committee ap-
pointed to look up the electric light
ing matter was read, and accepted.
The report appears ia full in THE
TIMES this week.
Joseph Bushey, late deposed COW
catcher and dog chaser, took up
most of the time Of the council, with
a statement of his wrongs and griev-
ances, and was finally renstated to
his old position. Bushey's tale of
woe melted the hearts of the coun-
cilmen,
Fred [. Yates appeared before the
council in behalf Of the Washburn
Electric Light and Power company,
of which he is secretary, and said
that his company wanteG to be fair
with the city. He wanted to submit
the question of q renewal OF their
contract toanarbtsation committee,
and compared the prices charged for
there with other places, at
tempting to justify the Medford and
Glenwood rates upon the grounds
that conditions were so different
in those places, mentioning that the
taxes of the company in Washhurn
were about 5000 a year, while in
Mcdford they were SIP year. At
Glenwood there is pumping con
ract with the city, which enables
the company to reduce the price of
lighting. In both pieces, Mr.. Yates
said the cities had not the privilege
of purchasing, and that his com
pany had the exclusive rights of
the cities for Is years. Mr.. Yates
covered number of other matters
in connection with his company
relations with the city, and finally
took up the order Of the city council,
appointing Mr.. John T. Doehm to
test the candle power of lights, say
ing that all their machinery was
arranged for 1000 candle power,
adding that if it does not develop
that power that he did not know
where the fault lay. He said that
in case of a test that the makers of
the machinery in use by his com
pany would perhaps want a man on
the ground.

State Of Wisconsin Wants Big
Slice Of 1t.
CLAIMS THE INHERITANCE TAX
Big Contest Over the Matter in the Probate
Court,-Captain Lea'S Estate Cleans
Up, After all Expenses are Paid,
Eighty Thousand Dollars.

A good big contest over the
Wisconsin law taxing inheritance
was tried out in the County
County Tuesday, before Judge
William H. Irish. A claim for
tax is made by the state, and
Assistant Attorney General A.
G. Titus appeared in behalf of
the claim. The estate in ques-
ton is that Of the late Captain
w. w. Lea, of Iron River, whose
estate nets his heirs $4,000.
Henry L. Lee, son of the de-
ceased. is administrator, and
was here, accompanied by his
mother. and Judge L. K. Luse,
of Superior, who is their attor-
ney. Honorable William Pitt
Bartlett, of Eau Claire, also APP
peared in the case, as attorney
for daughter of the deceased
lum herman, who now lives in
east. A. w. Mcleod, guardian
ad litum for the two minor heirs,
was also interested in the case,
and the four lawyers shot all
kinds of legal points at His
Honor, the Judge. 1t appears
that under the Wisconsin law on
estates Of a value of $25, 900 to
$50, 900 there is tax of one and
half per cent, while on
amounts of from $4,000 to $780,
900 there is tax of two per cent.
The estate of Captain Lea, after
all expenses of administration
will net $50, 900. The heirs claim
an insurance policy of 5000
running to the estate. is exempt
and that an additional amount of
So, 300 allowed by the court for
the care Of minors, is also ex-
empt from the tax. There is an
additional amount of $4,000 left
to the widow, and $4,000 left to
five heirs which the family claim
to be exempt. Ali these matters
were gone over and the state
made claim of two percent on
100000, while the heirs claim
that they should pay but one
percent on $4,000. The points
in dispute are the amounts of
exemptions and the claims of
the heirs that only one percent
of the tax can be legally claimed
against them, while the state of
Wisconsin wants two per cent.
Attorney Titus asked that the
matter be held open to allow
him time to present farther par
ticulars upon the matter, and
there will be no decision for a
week.
The final hearing on claims in
the estate of Patrick Lawler, de-
ceased; was heard. Attorney
John Walsh represented the es-
tate.
Attorney e. Sauve closed up
the estate Of Bessie Berg, de.
ceased, of which G. G. Williams
is administrator. and which has
been in court for a mum Der Of
years.
