Do not Claim Them.

Bayfield, papers have been put
ting mp a good sized s'hoIler" over
some one claiming that Washburn
had the blueberrv fields. They say
that there are 70 fields near WASH
burn but that Bayfield, and Iron
River had all the blueberries. In
this they are right. About the only
claim that Washburn has is as IL
dis tributing point and in this we are
growing from year to year. We
are glad to note that the bayfield,
people and others know that there
are no blueberry lands near this
city. The blueberry lands are about
the poorest lands that are to be had
aud about the only thing that the
land will grow is blueberrles, wild
sage bush and scrub oak. And we
are certainly GLAD that there is none
of tnis rear WaShburn.

Slice Cut off County Equal
ization.
County was Raised Over two
Million Dollars last Year,
Over 1907.

The State board of assessment
held a meeting last week for the
purpose of equalizing the pro-
perty fthe county. This equal
ization forms the basis for appor.
tioning the annual state tax.
The state board of assessment is
com posed of the State tax com
missioners. Bayfield, County
got small package handed to it
in 1907. the assessment of the
county property being raised
over two million dollars as COM
pared with 1907. An effort has
been made for some time to get
a more equitable assessment and
this year the state board has
seen fit to hand US a consolation
prize of $241,88 reducing the
value of county property from
SIS, ,922,611 to $15,670,73O. The
county was equalized at 1874
055 in 1907. The state tax will
be little less this year although
not enough to make any appreci-
able change in the local taxes.

Lighting Company to get Power
From Ashland.
Will be a Day and Night Cur
rent and Will be Ready
by November 1st.

A contract was closed last
Saturday by the Washburn
Electric Light and Power COM
pany for electric power from the
power plant at White River out
OF Ashland. The service will be
a day and night current and it is
planned to have it ready by the
early part of November. The
Ashland company will build
line to the city limits and the
local company will connect with
this. A sub-station will be in
stalled in the rooms at the rear
of the Northern State Bank build
ing and the current will be dis
tributed from there. There will
be considerable of an outlay of
money on the part of the local
company in building their part
OF the line and in establishing
the sub station in this city but
the members of the company
feel that they will be able to get
better service and that it will
pay in the long run. The loca!
plant will be kept up for emer-
gency cases but it is not expect
ed that it will ever have to be
used as the contract calls for a
pro-rate of power from the Ash
land plant.
Work on building the line will
be started soon and according
to the Ashland people will be
completed by the first of Novem-
Der. III fS
The bringing Of continuous
current to the city will mean
considerable as it will enable
people who have need for power
to put in motors, and lights can
be had at all times.

new CHOIR FOR
STATE UNIVERSITY
Railroad Engineering Is to Be
Taught; Students Ask Reten-
ton of Professor Brooks

BERKELEY. April 2S.-President
Wheeler announced today that chair
of railroad engineering would be estab-
lished at the University of California
next August. He also announced today
that he had received petition signed
retention of DR.. John Graham Brooks,
the eminent socielogist, as holder of
the chair of sociology at the univer
sity. DR.. Brooks has been lecturing
during the period just closed and has
won the respect OF faculty and students.
The announcement of the establish
ment of department of railroad en-
gineering came as a surprise to the
campus. Other steps equally as i'm
portant are contemplated by DR..
Wheeler.
The professor who will head the new
department was selected by President
Wheeler on his recent journey to
Chicago. 1t is understood, although
his name has not been made public.
that he is a man who held positions
of Importance with railroad corpora
tions before he retired to an academic
life. His name will be placed before

DR.. Wheeler for confirmation.

numbering SO, asking for his retention,
follows:
Resolved by classes No. 55 and No.
Sc in economics, that we express our
appreciation of the worth of DR.. John
Graham Brooks. He has shown step
by step the immediate struggle be-
tween capital and labor over wages and
standard of living to the first class;
and to the other he has set forth the
greater questions involved in the uses
and abuses of private. property and the
remedies proposed. He has Instructed
us and made us think. Many of the
questions are left for us to answer
ourselves.
Therefore, realizing the benefits re-
ceived from him, we urge the president
and regents of the University of Cali
fornia to invite Mr.. Brooks to return
next year or at farthest in 1911, so
that other students may receive the
same incentive to individual consid-

SUSPECT ARRESTED AS
BURGLARS ACCOMPLICE
Prisoner Identified by Sheriff

OAKLAND April 2s.-J. S. Cam
pagno has been arrested and lodged at
the county jail on suspicion of being
an accomplice of James OConnell,
leader of a gang OF robbers who oper-
ated In East Oakland and Fruitvale.
Campagno was said to have assisted
O'Connell in stripping a house in East
