Reward Of Doing a Public Duty

Our readers will miss the adver-
tisement of the Washburn, Electric
Light and Power Company from this
and succeeding issues of THE TIMES,
the company having decided on
Monday of the present week to dis
continue their space in THE TIMES.
AS The TINES has a hundred more
subscribers than it had six weeks ago,
and there having been no advance in
advertising charges we are at pain
ful loss to know why the company
should treat US SO very unkindly.
Surely it cannot be that The TIMES
is being punished for having fulfilled
it's solemn duty as a newspaper to
the public, in trating against
the eXhorbitant deal which the light
in@ company is working upon the
people of this city,

Said That Omaha Road Will Build
Two New Ones.
After the Party Went from Here Rumor
Found Its Way Into the Daily Papers
That New Elevators We're to
be Built.

1t is said that the recent visit
of the Omaha railroad officials to
this city is flied with signific-
ance, and that the party were
looking up a location for two new
elevators. The party included
General Manager A. w. Tren-
holm, General Superintendent
IS. G.. Strickland, Superinten-
dent w. T. Kennedy, Assistant
Superintendent E. E. Nash, Gen
eral Freight Agent H. M. Pierce
and Superinte ndent of Telegraph
H. G.. Hoefer. Practically all the
frontage owned by the company
is in the city of Washburn, and if
there is any foundation to the re-
port that is being published that
the company intends putting up
two new elevators for the hand
ling of grain the probabilities are
that Washburn will be the place
selected. No intimation of the
purpose of the visit was given
out by the officials while here.
The report that Chequamegon
bay is to have two new elevators
to be erect by this company,
may be aru NOR that will prove
of particular Importance to the
future Of our city.
