Selling Sheep.

One of the most encouraging
signs of the value of the North
Wisconsin lands for grazing pur-
poses is the increasing mum Der
of farmers who buy sheep and
fatten them up on Bayfield, coun-
ty grasses during the summer
Last Saturday John Nichols who
owns about fifteen hundred acres
of land at Lenowe, on the North
ern Pacific shipped two carloads
of sheep to Duluth. The two
cars contained about $50 sheep.
These Mr.. Nichols says he
bought early in the spring at the
st, Paul stockyards, when they
were mere shadows. They were
put on his land and now are as
round and fat as they can pos
slbly be, commanding the highest
market price. Mr.. Nichols says
that he expects to buy about 1000
sheep next spring and will fatten
them up during the summer.

Game Here Saturday.

Posters are out announc cling
that the Nelson-Dewey foot ball
team of Superior will play with
the Washburn high school team
on the home grounds next Satur-
day afternoon. The game will
be called promptly at two thirty
O'Clock and it gives promise of
being one Of the very best games
that will be seen here this sea-
son. The Nelson Dewey team is
a fast bunch this season and are
capable of putting up good ball.
That the Washburn aggregation
will hold their own with them is
about certain but the game will
be very close. Everybody should
turn out to see the game. The
local boys are under good deal
of expense in bringing the Su-
periOr team here and it will take
a large crowd topay theexpenses.
The game will be played rain or
shine.

1t is planned that it may be a
road owned and operated by the
people and municipalities which
it serves; not controlled by any
one of the great systems, but
friendly to all and in shape to
give and receive business to all
at terminal points. The support
which it has met with so far en-
courages the belief that this can
be accomplished. Owners of
land in small and large tracts
realizing that the building of this
road means the doubling of land
values have signified their will
ingness to cooperate and repre-
sentatives of towns through
which the road will run, knowing
that it means increasing the
value of their property, have
given it much encouragement.

Washburn II. S. Foot Ball Team Won
Game from Superior School.
Blaine School Showed up Poor
Alongside of Fast Wash
burn Bunch.

The foot ball team of the Wash
burn High school went to Super
ior last Saturday where they
played the Blaine team and come
out victorious, the final score
being two too.
The Blaine referee figures diff
ferently however, claiming the
game by a score of 6 to 2, but
just how he figures this out is
hard to say. Those who witness
ed the game differ from his de-
cision.
The first half the game result
ed in no score being made on
either side: the Washburn bunch
having the better of it all the way
through but they did not seem
to be able to make a touchdown
during the half. The scoring
was done in the second half.
Kearns punted the ball to Foote.
who was inside of Superior's ten
yard line. He made a jump for
the pigskin, but could not
stop it and it rolled over the
Superior line. Foote fell on the
ball and the Washburn team
piled onhim for a safety. Blaine
claimed touchback but it was
clearly a safety and Washburn
drew first blood, making the
score two to O. The balance of
the half was played without an
other point being made by either
side~ Superior had the ball dur
ing the last few minutes of the
game and advanced it until it was
within two yards of the Wash
burn line when the time was
called by the official time keepers.
The Washburn players all left
the field and after they had gone
the Blaine referee then decided
that the time was not up and had
the Blaine team line up against
the "wind" and carry the ball
over the line for a touchdown.
They then kicked goal and this
is how the referee figures that
his team won the game.
The Blaine team last season
was claimed to be one of the fast
est teams in the northern part
of the state but this year they
will not amount to much unless
they play better than they did
against the Washburn bunch.

A Play In A Thousand.

The figures of the attendance and
receipts for the five seasons that
"Quincv Adams Sawyer has been
upon the stage prove that nearly
three million people have witnessed
this great dram of New England ru-
raj life in that time. In view of this
fact and because of the constantly
growing prosperitsaof this attraction
it can DO said with truth that this is
a "play in thousand. !" For there
have been so few similar ms tances in
the history of the American stage
that they can be recalled readily by
all theatrical men of experience.
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" is uni
que. It's telling qualities are found
in it's entire freedom from stage IN
ventions. There is no erring girl,
no mortgage on the farm, 10 mourn
ing or wailing and no villain. Yet
strength is by no means sacrificed
by this abandonment of familiar
stage expedients. For there are
substituted characters that are real
motives that are natural and a de-
velopment of interest that holds be-
cause it appeals by its strong human
ity.
when the famous rural drama is
presented at the Opera House on
Nov. "a, 1908 it will be found to be
presented by an admirable company
every member of which has been Sc
l}cted with special regard for his or
her fitness for the role played. The
scenic environments of the drama is
in perfect accord with it's spirit and
the entire Entertainment is natural
and enjoyrble.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications as they cannot

deafness, and that is by constitution

New Company Organized Known as
Flag River Ry. Co.
Purpose is to Build Line From
Superior Down South
Shore to Bayfield,.

Articles of incorporation were
filed in the office of the secretary
Of state at Madison last Friday
for the Flag River Railway Com
pany whose purpose it will be to
build a new railroad from Super
ior along the northern part of
Bayfield, County to the town of
Bayfield,. The officers of the
new company are B. G. Cooke,
president and treasurer; James
Bardon, vice-president. and A.
w. Mcleod, secretary. The dir
ectors are w. Fl. FIeith, Cornu-
cOpla; A. HI. Wilkinson, Bayfield,;
T. N. Okerstrom, Port Wing; A.
w. Mcleod, Washburn; Il. f.
Mackmiller, Iron River; James
Barton and B. G. Smith Of Su-
perior.
The Flag River railway COM
pany was organized for the pur-
pose of securing the cooperation
of the land owners who are inter
ested in the development of the
territory east of Superior to the
Chequamegon Bay district. In
this territory are a nu amber of
thrifty little villages such as
Port Wing, Cornucopia, Herbster
and Bark Point, Bayfield, on
Lake Superior and Washburn on
Chequamegon Bay will be
reached directly by the proposed
line.
There is probably no port in
Wisconsin which has been so
handicapped by the lack of rail
road facilities as the new country
through which this line will run.
The whole section is dependent
for it's mail, supplies, necessities
of life and the shipment of pro
ducts, on the uncertain boat SER
vice. and in the winter time all
business with the outside world
has to be done with teams to the
towns of Bayfield,, Washburn and
Iron River.
The purpose of the Flag River
railway company is to furnish a
nucleus of a system to supply
this country with a railroad in
the very near future.

ing through theline. The Super
ior aggregation were confident
of success in the game and their
failure to win evidently caused a
sore spot but the Superior ref
cree with his quick thinking
brain furnished the ''baIm" to
ease the wound when he had the
team line up after the game was
over and award them the decision
in the score.

New one to be used at the General
Election Next Monday.
Names of the Electors will be
at the Bottom Instead of
at the top.

A new form of ballot will be
used at the election in November.
One cross at the top of party
ticket will still vote the entire
ticket, including candidates for
state. congressional, legislative
and county Offices and presiden-
tial electors. This may be done
by putting a cross in the circle
at the top of theticket.
But the change comes in that
the presidential electors are no
longer at the head of the ticket.
They are now at the bottom and
a division set off by itself. The
candidates for governor head the
ticket and are followed down in
order by the other candidates
for state Offices, then the candi-
date for congress, for the legis-
lature and then for county Of
fees. And way down below all
those come the names of the can
didate for presidential electors.
The change was made at the
last session of the last legislature
along with some other changes.
One of those changes was dis
covered last spring at the elec-
tion when it was found that there
was no circle or square at the
top of the ticket.
It is claimed that the change
in the general election ballots
will make difference as to who
runs ahead in the state, The
presidential electors have always
run ahead heretofore but in the
case of split tickets they are now
the ones that are quiet likely to
be neglected and overlooked and
their votes may not number as
many as those for governor or
even for county Offices.
