Was a Good Game

The Ashland End team which
came to this city last Sunday
for the purpose of trimming up
the local team returned to Ash
land after the game a much wis
er bunch. 1t was simply a
walk-away for the locals and
when the game was over the
score stood nine to five in their
favor. Monty Morrison held
down the slab for the locals
while Tommy Thoreson did the
catching. The other players
wers Olson, Bell, Estabrook.
Joanis boys, Anderson, Veno
and Wescott: This team hiss de-
veloped into a strong one and
can put up a good article of ball.
The team that came here from
Ashland Sunday are considered
fast, but they proved a little
slow for the Whirlwinds from
this city.

The board of school com mis-

of letting the contract for the
remodelIing of the high school
assembly room. Contractor
James A, Sheridan of this city
was the only bidder and the
contract was let to him, the sum
being $425. The plans call for
the tearing down of the stone
wall now separating the high
school assembly room and the
recitation room and for the plac-
ing in of a heavy wooden truss
in the opening, also for the plac-

expected that it will be com
pleted about the middle part of
August. On account of the big
increase in the scholarship of
the high school these changes
we're made necessary III order
to give the proper Accommodations
for the scholars. The changes
will give about one third more
room and will be ample for some
years to come. The room on
the west on the second floor will
be used for a recitation room and
the room to the south will be
used for labratory purposes SO
that the entire second floor will
be used for high school purposes.

NOXiOuS W eedS.

The time is now here for the
destroying of all noxious weeds.
These weeds are just now in the
flower and unless they are de-
stroyed soon the seeds will
spread and will make them so
much harder to kill a year from
now. Some order should be is
sued at once by the city authori-
ties compelling property owners
to cut the weeds on their lots
and the land adjoining on the
streets and alleys. and then if
the work is not done, it will be
done by the street commissioners
and charged up to the property
owners and collected with the
taxes. The destroying of these
weeds is an important thing as
it helps to keep them from
spreading to any extent.

Markets are Good.

Farmers in this city and vi
cinity who are engaged in the
business of raising strawberries
and other fruits find that they
are still far from being able to
supply the demand for the fruit,
and the next season will see a
larger acreage planted to the
fruit. The crop this year was
somewhat lighter than usual on
account of the dry spell just be-
fore the crop ripened, and con-
sequently there will be short
age of the fruit. The city markets
are still abe to take care of most
of the fruit that is being raised.
which is an indication that those
that are engaged in the business
should enlarge their fields and
more new ones should engage in
the business. There is good
demand in the cities for Wash
burn grown berries and AL that
can be raised here can be ship
ped out and the very highest
prices commanded. The ber-
ries will stand the shipping and
arrive au their destination in per
feet condition,

What was perpaps tn worst
storm in years struck this
section Tuesday morning and
continued for more than thirty
hours. doing damage that will
run up into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The rain
came down in torrents and
one shower would nomOre than
leave before another started.
The weather did not clear up
until today. Trains on all
of the lines in Northern
Wisconsin were delayed for
many hours and the service
was not back to normal again
until for some time. The morn
ing train from bayfield, did
not arrive until 1920 yesterday
afternoon on account of a bad
wash-out at Salmo. The dam
on Pixies creek above the
state fish hatchery went out
and everything out there was
flooded. There was also an
other wash out on the Omaha
between Ashland and the
Junction and also one down
near Benoit and near Mason.
The Northern Pacific has
suffered some damage and it
was reported last night that
a large amount of track along
the line had been washed OFT.
At Ashland a large amount
of damage was done when the
new dam on White River went
out doing damage to the ex-
tent of $4,000. 1t is stated
that the new power plant at
that point is almost d total
loss.
The damage done about the
city is slight on account of
the good drainage, but it is
stated that the roads in the
rural districts suffered badly.
The rain last night did
a large amount of damage
shout the city and many wash
outs along The streets are re
ported. The train was unableto
go to the plant this morning.
The mills and factories are
all closed down today. The
city is practically isolated
from the outside, the railroad
being unsafe and the wagon
bridges between here and AS h
land being all washed out.

bavino an association, the grow
ers can handle their trult more
economically, and get better
prices. Their greatest advantage
would be in finding out just how
to pick and pack their fruit, so
as to get the highest market
price. An association will get
all of this information and dis
tribute it, so that each member
could take advantage of anything
which would tend to improve
their fruit. We have seen ber-
ries come to Mimi eapolis from
Washburn, in a very poor condl-
tion because they were not pro-
perly picked and packed. These
berries brought around S1.5O
per crate. and would have sold
for about $3.50 per crate had the
shipper known how to handle
his fruit. Two or three thousand
crates of berries would mean
quite a loss. AS it is only mat
ter of time until you will have
several thousand crates OF ber-
ries shipped from Washburn, it
is best to start and association
now. so that growers will not be
discouraged when their fruit
does not bring as high a price as
fruits shipped through assocla-
tions. 1t is just as easy to pick
! the berries so that they will
bring the highest figure, as it is
to have them come into the mar
ket in poor condition. | am in
hopes that you will see the ad-
vantage to the fruit growers by
having an association, and will
start the ball rolling.

Expect Heavy Crop.

There is every indication that
the sblueberry crop of Bayfield,
county will be the largest in
years due to the fact that the
plants escaped all frosts this
year. The berries will soon be
ripe and the picking Of the fruit
will begin. There will be a mum
Der of local people engaged in

ing the berries this season and
thousands of crates of the fruit
will be shipped to the markets

NORTHERN WIS.,,
STATE FAIR.
Chippewa Falls Sept .20-A.
'O9,
This is a Matter That Should
Interest Every Citizen.

The indications now are
that the Northern Wisconsin
State Fair will be a record
breaker. It is a matter in
which every citizen of Chip
peWa Falls should be interest
ted and do everything to help
carry out heplans as mapped
out by the management.
Requests for space to be
used at the fair grounds dur
ing the fair are being received
constantly. The space asked
for is in all departments, in
the exhibition building, cattle
and horse barns and sheds,
and other stock barns as we'll
as for privileges on the mid
way.
From all indications it
would seem that the fair this
year will be larger that ever
before. Never in the history
of the association have so
many requests for space been
received at so early a date,
and it is thought that every
thing will be filled before the
opening day.
If the weather during the
week of the fair is pleasant
and the receipts are large
enough it is probable that
several new cattle barns will
be erected at the grounds for
the next fair. These improve
ments are made necessary
owing to the growing demand
for exhibiting space.

A Good Suggestion Made by
Former Washburnite.
Theron Loveland Writes In
terestingly About Future
Possibilities.

A fruit growers organic ttlon
should be organized in this city
composed of all who are growers
of or interested in small fruit
culture. It would be a great
help to those who are trying to
make a success of this venture.
The suggestion and some of the
reasons for such an organization
are clearly stated in a letter re-
Gently received from Theron
Loveland. who is largely inter
ested in bayfield, County soil.
The letter follows:
Enclosed you will find plat
giving dates of killing frosts
through the state of Wisconsin,
This is quite interesting when
one compares the frost dates at
Washburn with those further
South. The more we study the
practical production of apples in
the Washburn district, the
stronger is oU- belief that COM
mercial apple raising will be a
success. We have an occasion
to meet a great many people who
are raising fruit. We find that
through Iowa and Nebraska it is
very com mon for trees to bear
one year out of three. They
lose two crops ,ut OF three Pc
cause Of killing frOSts. Did you
ever hear of anyone losing a crop
of fruit through frost? who had
planted within three miles of the
lake. We have not, but we
would be interested in knowing
whether anyone had found apple
growing a failure.

thing if you would agitate fruit

BELGIUM'S KING PASSES AWAY
One Of tho Best Known Figures In
tho Old World Loses In Struggle
With Grim Reaper.

Brussels.-King Leopold died at
2:35 o'clock Thursday morning. his
aged and wasted body being unable
to stand the strain put upon 1t R
the operation performed a few days
ago. The collapse occurred suddenly,
and at moment when the doctors
seemingly had the greatest hopes for
his recovery.
The end came quickly and, after a
spell of weakness, peacefully. Prince
Albert arrived at the death.bed about
twenty-five minutes later.
The kings GOODNESS and courage in
the heroic struggle won the admira-
ton of all, for at no time did he seem
to fear the result. Now that he is
dead it is believed that he was able
to survive so long by the sheer force
of his mentality.
Leopold H., king of the Belgians,
son of the late King Leopold l., upon
whose death on December 10, 1865, he
succeeded to the throne, was born at
Brussels, April 8, 1887 His father
was the former Prince of Saxe-Co-
burg-Gotha and his mother Princess
Louise, daughter of King Louis Phil
lfppe of France.
On August %, 1853, he married
the Archduchess Marie Henrietta,
daughter of Archduke Joseph of Aus
tria. She died September 10, 1902.
There were three daughters born of
this union-Louise, Stephanie and
Clementine. The two elder prin-
cesses have been estranged from
their father, but Clementine remained
in his affections.
There being no direct hereditary
heir, the crown passes to Prince AL
bert, the only son of Leopolds broth
er, the late PHILIPPE, Count of FLAG
ders. The new monarch was born on
April s, 1875, and on October 2
1900 married Princess Elizabeth OF
Bavaria. They have three children
Prince Leopold, years old; Prince
Charles, years old, and Princess
Marie-Jose, 3 years old
While always conspicuous before
the public on account of the nature Of
his private life, particularly in recent
years. King Leopold has recently
had much of the world against him
on account of his attitude towards
the Congo Independent State. His
great. interest lay in. the development
of that country, for he was practi
cally the founder of it and was Its
ruling sovereign.
