A Trip to Europe the Incentive to Hustle
For the Dubois Courier.
The Dubois Courier has inaugurated
a voting and subscription contest that
is attracting unusual attention by reas-
on of the value of the prizes: Free

Among those from Reynoldsville who
have been placed In nomination BY
their friends for the honor we note the
names of Misses Marguerite Apple
gate, Minnie Keck, Nellie E. Sutter,
Rose Black, Elizabeth Schughrou,
Ethelyn Winslow and Marie Altman.
Some OF these were nominated by
friends without their knowledge, but
all will doubtless appreciate any assist
ance from local people which will boost
their standing In the list OF candidates.
The prizes are well worth striving for
and as one Of the winners must come
from territory outside of Dubois the
Reynoldsyille girls stand better
chance than most others.

Chickens Having Hard Time. A Plea for
the Worn Out Horses.
Lexington Dispatch, April 2lst.

Lexington Dispatch, April 2lst.
The horse traders are here
Some of them have left. There has
been mighty little traffic in anil
mails this court. The crowds have
been small. We would just like
to say, right here, that something
ought to be done to these fellows
who drag poor old broken down
rips from place to place, trying to
convert their old and aching bones
into coin. Some of them can
hardly move-pitiful sights.
The power house people tell a
funny story in connection with
Monday mornings fire. A thief
stole two pairs of trousers from
the men who work at the water
plant at night, and had just about
time enough toget to Center street
when the hideous fire whistle be-
gan to sound the alarm. Next
morning the pants we're found In
the street. 1t is presumed that
when the thief heard the whistle
so soon after his theft, he natur-
ally thought they were blowing it
for him, and guilt being heavy on
his heart, he dropped his booty
and fled. Some say he is likely
to be running yet.
E. L. Weaver, of Warrenton,
who has been here several weeks in
the interest of his vending ma
chimes, has closed a trade with
Messrs. J. W. Crowell and W. A.
Anthony to manufacture one
thousand of the machines. Work
is already going Oh and come of
the machines will be finished by
Monday. 1t was invented by E.
L. Smith, of Windsor. One style
machine will hand you a nickel
package of crackers, upon your
dropping coin in rh5 slot. If you
drop dime, it hands it back to
you. Another style sells apples,
another chewing gum, another
cigarettes and cigars and another
smoking tobacco. People in po-
sition who know say that the men
interested in this machine "have
got good thing"
The older people will remember
Professor Charles NJ. Symthe, q
northern man who came here in
the early sixties and taught school.
He died here and was buried in the
cemetery. A daughter has writ
ten to friend here stating that
she wishes to come to Lexington
in May and try to locate the grave.
Mrs. Smythe was Miss Harris
and the family is well-remembered
by two or three of the older cltl.
zens, and others doubtless will re
call them.

Special Inducements to New Subscribers
Would Buy Old Library.

A proposition was made to the
City Council at it's last meeting.
which seems to be fair and reason
able offer. 0. A. Lamoreaux offered
to buy the old library building,
which has been used for some years
by the Commercial Club. While of
course it would deprive the Com
mercial Club of a comfor table and
commodiOus home, we believe the
city authorities should accept Mr..
Lameroux S offer of 100000. but it
is certainly al. the building is worth
now as it stands. No revenue is
derived from it for the city. New
cement walks will soon have to be
laid which will cost over$100. 90, and
added to this would be the amount
If taxes which the city would
yearly derive from the building,
were it owned by private individuals
and placed on the tax roll. The city
will undoubtedly never have any
more use for the building. Mr.. Lam
-oreaux, says that his firm may estab-
lish an office in it, or it would be re-
modelled for other purposes. The
opinion is generally EXPRESSED among
citizens that the city would do we'll
to accept the proposition.

The annual budget is larger
than last year, owing to an in
crease in the state tax, and also
to an increase in the fund levied
for roads. An extra levy was
MADE for the repair of roads and
bridges, which were damaged
during the heavy storms of last
July. This amounts to about
Sc, 10000. Besides this amount
the regular one mill tax was
levied for road purposes, which
will net $13, ,321.8O for the High
way fund. This amount will be
expended on county roads and
bridges during the coming sum-
mer.
The following is the levy for
the year.

LOGGING OPERATIONS
There Will be Considerable
Doing Around Here This
Winter.

From the present indications
there will be a large amount Of
winter logging going on IN Bay
field county during the coming
winter and already the loggers
and jobbers are getting their
camps in readiness to begin work
as soon as the snow comes.
Some of the companies will oper-
ate on even larger scale than
they did year ago while others
will cut down to some extent.
The Stearns Lumber company Of
Odanah will not operate as ex-
tensively as they did a year ago
when they put in over a hundred
million feet, but nevertheless
their operations will be large.
The Hines Lum ber company will
conduct camps at CHssoa and
Benoit, the Cusson camps sup
plying the Iron River mill and
the Benoit cam ps the Mason mill.
Both of these sets of camps will
put in a large amount Of timber.
The Wachsmuth Lumber com
pany will do considerable logging
back of Bayfield, as will also the
Finch-Bell company. Little &
Hobbs will operate setof camps
out along the line of the Battle
Axe and T. A. Smlth, the Wau-
sau logger. will also put in a
large amount of timber. Olson
and Carlson of Port Wing will
also log out on the Northern
Pacific. Thompson & f eet of
Cornucopia are getting camps in
readiness for a heavy season s
work and G. A Nye will put in a
large amount of stock for his
mill. The Port Wing people will
log extensively along the south
shore. There will also be a mum
ber of smaller concerns aperat-
ing IN different parts of the
county.
With all this logging going on
this winter employment will be
given to large number of men.
Wages in tie woods will be con
siderable better than a year ago
for the reason that there is not
the abundance of men.
