CO OOWu NY UuC SupICulC COuTU
last week was one in the Town
of Washburn VS.. Lee case.
This case is the outgrowth of
the "Battleax' railroad and
considerable interest has
been taken in it throughout
the county. When the feder-
al court ordered the ''Battle-
ak" dismantled and sold for
scrap a few years ago, the
citizens of Washburn were up
in arms and made a valiant
fight to preserve the road in
tact. An order was secured
from Judge Parish to stay
the work of dismantlement
and the officers of the two
courts FLASHED when both
tried to carry out their in
structions. The matter was
brought before the state SUI
preme court and it handed
down a decision which left
the fate of the road entirely
in the hands Of the federal
courts. The district attor-
ney, sheriff, and half a dozen
citizens who were most active
in endeavoring to Illustrate
the plans of the federal court,
were brought up on a con-
tempt order. The two officers
were given a Jail sentence in
connection with a heavy fine
and the citizens were let off
with a fine. An appeal was
taken from this ruling to the
court of appeals, and when
matters were in this shape,
and it looked like a most GER
tain thing that Bayfield, coun.
ty would lose the road for
which it paid most dearly, a
committee of citizens met
with officials of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company and
induced them to look over the
road with a view of buying it.
The officials found upon ex-
animation that some of the
titles in the right of way we're
faulty. They finally agreed
to purchase the road for an
agreed price providing the
citizens of Washburn would
guarantee to deliver a clear
title to the right-of-way, and
asked that a certified check
of $4,000 be deposited as a
guarantee that this would be
done. The Washburn people
got together to see if they
could meet the requirements
of the Northern Pacific. A
public meeting was called and
was attended bya representa-
tive lot of public spirited CT
tizens. There were none
present but who thhought
that the interests of the town
would be conserved by giving
what the N. P. asked, and
that the best way to distribute
the burden equitably among
all the taxpayers would be to
take this money out of the
town treasury. Accordingly
a town order was issued for
the amount and the Northern
State Bank advanced the
money on it, and later it re-
ceived it's money on the order
from Treasurer Lee.
When the city Of Washburn
incorporated and the town
was settling up with the city,
the latter secured Attorneys
Mcdonald and Tomkins, of
Ashland, as councillors to

lounging rooms save him annually from $500 to $10OO a year in rent, according to the location in which he has his mod est lodgings. After that he saves a fair percentage on everything he eats and drinks at the club.
 His simple breakfast costs him per haps 10 per cent less than it would cost at any restaurant he would be likely to frequent, and the same Is true of his dinners If he takes three-fourths of his meals at the club he saves annually about $1O0 in tips
 If he drinks wine at dinner he saves from 10 to 25 per cent upon every bottle. If he permits himself the luxury of a cab he saves U handsome percentage by ordering it through the club and avoids all possibility of d row with the cabby over the amount of the fare. Many a man writes all his letters of social char acter end some of bushes character at the club, and thus saves from sl5 10 $40 year in stationery.
 He need buy no books. nor need he subscribe to a library, for there is the club library free for his use. He never need buy a periodical or even a news paper save when he travels, for all that he reads are freely supplied by the club. And the enjoyment of all these things
 
 penditure for extravagant luxuries. He is sure, especially in the college clubs. to find plenty of men with like modest in- comes and simple tastes as himself, and he may sit for hours with cronies over the cafe table without spending money that he cannot afford and without giving offense to the servants of the house com- mittee.
 Most club members probably do not

Such man, paying s25O as an entrance fee and $75 year in dues, Is likely to find himself at the end of twenty years long way ahead of the game The club in twenty years has cost him rather less than s20Oo for entrance fees, dues and contributions to the Christmas box, and his savings by reason of the club have been from slo.- GOO to $100, ,0Oo

CLUB LIFE ECONOMIES.
Poor Men In Swell Organizations of
 New York.

From the New York Sun.
 A good many country visitors are dis appointed when they learn the sober truth that New York has no clubs com posed exclusively of millionaires. It is harder still to make country folk believe that hundreds of men join the so-called swell clubs in large part from motives of economy.
 There are scarcely three clubs in the city that do not include a considerable number of poor men in their member ship. The average income of the whole membership of the ten best known clubs in the city is probably nearer $10OO0 a year than s50,O00 a year, and, almost every one of these clubs includes some scores of men with incomes well below $10000 and a good many with incomes well below 5000.
 There is a real democracy of New York club life Youths in their early twenties and just beginning their ca- reers on very moderate salaries frequent truly palatial club houses, breakfast In rooms such as few princes ever use and lounge before fireplaces that are to be matched only in the most splendid build ings of Europe.
 The poor man. S credit at the club Is as good as the rich mans. and both are impartially posted when they neglect to pay their bills in good season. There are a good many instances also in which the monthly bills of the poor man are higher than those of his rich fellow member, for the frequenters of clubs are apt to be the poorer rather than the richer mem bers.
 Many a man of small means regards his membership In a first rate club in the light of q profitable investment Such ., ,,,a,, if cou fiT-r1pd bachelor. has prob ably lived for twenty years within half a block of the club, paying few hun dreds a year for a small bedroom and finding all his luxuries in the apartments of the club house.
 Without being In the least mean he makes of the club a money saving in- stitution for himself. Its comfortable
