According to current paragraph, il
has been discovered that the laws OF
Maine forbid the buying of coal to run
the fires under the boilers in the State
House heating plant" This Is based on
the ground that the law enacted In the
early days of the state provides that the
superintendent Of public buildings and
grounds shall procure "wood, lights
and such things as are necessary for the
comfort and convenience of the depart
ments." Another law forbids the incur
ring of any expenses other than those
specifically authorized by statute. We
have not yet heard that the state house
had frozen up, and do not expect to hear
1t, a. long as there is coal to be bought.

Here and There.

Earthquakes in divers places are being
reported during the past few days, ac-
companied by the cracking of the surface
of the ground, and some people seem
really to regard them as something seri-
Gus. 1t is altogether probable that they
are not deep seismic disturbances, but
simply the violent contraction of the sur
face by the intense cold we have had.
The first one generally observed in the
vicinity of South Paris was in the early
morning of Feb. LIST, when there was a
booming rumble, and the houses shook
and loose articles ratified. Some observ-
ers, however, had noted smaller shocks
of the same kind the preceding evening.
The ground was at that time almost en-
tirely bare, and the cold intense. Other
shocks of similar character have been
reported from other places since, and
seem TO be sort of basso profundo ac-
compartment of the shrill music of the
cold north wind.

Pianos at a Discount Of Twenty tt
Fourty Per Cent.

When Lyon and Healy of Chicago
bought for cash the entire retail
stocks of three leading Chicago
piano houses, Wis: The Thompson
Music Company, the Healy Music
Co., and the F. G.. ThearIe Co. the
entire piano trade of the United
States wondered what Lyon and
Healy could do with such u vast col
lection of fine instruments in addl-
ton to their own big stock, for these
are no cheap factory pianos, but
pianos of makes of the highest repu-
tation.
Whal Lyon and Healy have done
is to mark all these pianos, and there
are hundreds of them, and at a dis
count of 20 60 40 per cent. The re-
Spouse upon the part of the public is
marvellous.
If you know the names of good
standard makes of pianos and the
prices always paid, you will need no
second invitation to write to Lyon q

Why Fruit Growers Who Locate
at Washburn Have Advantages
Over Other Points on the Peninsula
of Wisconsin.
First; the soil at Washburn IS a
loamy clay workable at all time, and
free from stone.
Second; A careful examination OF
fruit trees and berry plants at
Washburn proves beyond a doubt,
that Apples, Cherries. Plums and
small Fruits, are grown as success
fully at Washburn as at other points
on the Peninsula.
Third; The land generally speak
ing is provided with exceptional air
drainage.
Fourth; A drought at Washburn
is unknown.
Fifth; Washburn is free from
damaging frosts.
Sixth; Washburn the largest
City of the Wisconsin Peninsula,
can furnish hundreds of pickers on
moments notice.
SEVENTH Our shipping facilities
are not equalled on the Peninsula.
Eighth; Chicago. Milwaukee, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, Superior,
the Minnesota Iron Range and the
Wisconsin and Michigan Ranges fur
nish Washburn market which is
inexhaustable.
Those who are skeptical should
examine fruit trees ard berry plants
in Washburn take into considera-
ton that the trees have had no cul-
tivation, or spraying, as is given
commercial orchards, and read up
| on the subject of fruit. The eight
points herein mentioned are of in
terest to the stranger. it is informa-
ton he wants, and the citizen who
gives out these facts, and will show
strangers what we have, is helping
us build city, and is valuable as
| sistant for Washburn. We kave
more advantages than these named.
Lets look tor the advantages, bury
our hammers and pull for Washburn.
Very Truly,
Washburn Commercial Club.
