Made by the County Board at their
Annual Meeting.
TIE be Made the Subject of
Investigation. Town of
Washburn Takes Step.

At a meeting of the town
board of the town of Wash
burn held last Saturday af.
ternoon, steps were taken to
investigate the equalization
made by the county board at
it's annual meeting. Chair
man Hosmer of the town of
Washburn was not satisfied
with the amount at which his
town was equalized, and was
authorized by the town board
to appeal to the State Tax
Commission. The entire
proceedings will now be in
vestigated, if the town of
Washburn can persuade the
tax commission to look into
it. If the equalization of this
town is lowered it will not
effect the apportionment for
this year. The town of Wash
burn was equalized at S649,
go in 1905 and for $728, 900 in
1906.

Facts are as Stated
EDITOR TINES

EDITOR IIMES:-
AS an advocate of municipal
ownership | was interested a
little in an article in the NEWS
last week and especially in two
statements made therein and
which I would like to know if
they are true as stated. The
first is that we pay SLAB a month
for our street lighting and that
the company pays $40 month
in taxes. The second is that the
meter rate of the company is
ten cents per thousand and not
twenty as the franchise permit
ted them to charge. If these
are facts [ believe every taxpay-
er ought to know it and [ ask
you as a public spirited editor
of our city to verify them if true.
Very truly,
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Replying to the inquiry of
municipal Ownership" will say
that the facts as stated in the
News are correct. The CITY
pays $143 per month for street
lighting, or $1716 per annum.
The lighting company pays $40
per annum in taxes or $40 per
month. The franchise of the
Company permits a charge of
twenty cents per thousand for
commercial lighting, while the
present charge is ten cents per
thousand or half of what it is
permitted to charge.

Snow Storm of Monday and Tues
day Does Damage,
Telephone and Telegraph
Companies Suffer Much
Damage to Wires.

Perhaps the worst sleet and
snow storm that has visited this
section in years struck here Sun
day and continued in all it's fury
until late Monday night. The
storm played havoc with the
lines of the telephone and tele-
graph companies and wires we're
down all over the city and to out
side points, and it will be som e
time until the damage can be re-
paired. The Wisconsin tele-
phone company was perhaps the
heaviest looser in this city.
Their new cable containing fifty
two pairs of wires was torn apart
when the pole near Second
avenue east broke off putting all
the phones on that line out of
commission. Employees of the
two telephone companies have
been busy since Tuesday morn
ing repairing the lines and they
are just getting them in shape
again. The loss will run up in
to hundreds of dollars.

forced itself upon the jury
that no one else could have
been responsible for the boys
death but the father. But
when he was toll; by the Cor
oner that he would be placed
under oath and asked to tell
what he knew about the en-
tire matter he made a full
confession.
The report of the jury has
been certified to the District
Attorney and what he will do
remains to be seen. Under
the law Chris Pade can be
punished. The citizens of
this city are unanimously in
favor of letting the matter
drop, feeling that the poor
father has been punished
severely enough. If the Dis
trict Attorney is in duty
bound to begin prosecution,
and Mr.. Pade is sent to pri-
son, then there is no doubt
but that the citizens will Join
in a petition to the Govern
or for pardon.
The unfortunate death Of
Helmuth Pade and the cir
cumstances surrounding it
will undoubtedly serve as a
warning to thousands of hun
tiers who have heretofore
been careless.

Kenfield & Lam0reaux have their
Plant About Ready.
Will Begin Saving Within a
Week or Ten Days.
Means Long Life.

Within a week or ten days the
firm of Kenfeld & Lamoreaux
will commence running their
saw mill which they have been
building during the summer
and it is their intention to keep
the plant running for a
number Of years providing
enough stock can be brought to
this city. Mr.. Lamoreaux OF
the firm says that it is his
opinion that they will have no
trouble in getting enough ma
terial to run their mill for num-
Der of years as there is a lot of
territory to draw from, and AS
the price paid for bolts is high,
the farmers and others are max
ing preparations to do lots OF
work during the winter mOnths
in getting out material. The
starting of this mill in connec-
ton with the box factory means
a long life to that institution as
the firm will not have to depend
on the mills for their supply of
stock. They employ a large
mum Der of men and boys about
their plant which is one of the
best institutions Washburn has
today.

Father Fired the Fatal Shot that

Makes a Full Confession to

with Grief.

"We, the Jury do find that

through the body by a rifle
in the hands of Chris Pade,
his father.
In testimony whereof the

that Chris Pada the father of
the victim had confessed to
the killing created profound
interest in the proceedings.
Many were the expressions
of sadness and sympathy for
the family. The final session
of the jury was held at the
Commercial Club rooms.
That the killing was purely
accidental, no one will doubt
for one moment. 1t is anoth-
er case of shooting at a NOV

unusual, it differs from
others only in degree. Many

only another case of paying
the price. The father is an
old resident of the city, and
his whole life has been
wrapped up in his family.
He thought the world OF his
boys, and sturdy youngsters
they we're. Helmuth was the
oldest, being twenty one
years of age. He was a great
help to the father. Is it to
be wondered at then that the
