Will Make an Examination OF
Water Works Compa ny.
Expected Here in the Near
G Future, City Council
uaA%.
@s1s. sMade Request.

The Wisconsin Railway com
mission, which has been vested
with power to examine all public
utilities, has been requested by
the city council to send experts
to this city for the purpose of
making a thorough examination
of the plant of the Washburn
Water Works Company. 1t is
expected the notice of the exam
ination will soon be received and
that the examination will be
made. The Commission bas
made an examination of the Bay
field plant and the rates have
been ordered raised, and discus
aiOn is now rife as to whether
the same action and ruling will
be made in this city. By many
it is claimed that the rates here
will be ordered lowered. Ger
tain it is that no half way meas
ures are used by the commission
experts, they examine everything
from the end of the remotest
hydrant to the end of the intake
pipe. the power plant and the ac-
counts and books. IF upon ex-
animation it is found that the
rates, tolls charges, schedules
or joint rates are unjust. unrea-
sonable. insufficient or unjustly
discriminatory or to be preferen-
tial or otherwise in violation of
law. the Com mission has power
to order the rates made just and
reasonable. The rates are to
be based on the value of the
plant and it's productiveness,
yielding to the owners a tair re-
turn on the investment. Presi-
dent w. G. Maxcy of the Wash
burn Water Works Company was
in the city last week and an
nounced that the commission
would be here soon to make the
investigation.

ODANAH DEFEATED
City Team Takes Scalps of
Red Skins from
Odanah

The city foot ball team went
to Odanah last Sunday where
they played a return game with
the Odanah team, defeating them
by a score of 10 to 0. In the
first game played here this sea-
son Odanah was beaten by a
score of 21 to 2 but since that
time they have been playing
nearly every Sunday and their
team has been strengthened a
great deal, but they were un-
able to score. The Washburn
boys put up one of the best
games of ball they have played
this season, many fast plays
being worked with success upon
the opponents.
The first half was scoreless
one, and it was anybody's game
for neither team seemed to be
able to get within reaching dis
tance of the others goal. But
the second half was different
and the Washburn boys went in
to the game with renewed vigor
and it soon began to tell on the
Odanah bunch. The ball was
advanced steadily up the field
with end runs, forward passes
and line plunges until 1t was
pushed over the goal line. The
attempt at goal failed. AS soon
as the Washburn boys got the
ball after the second kickoff
they again began hammering
their way up the field for anoth-
er touchdown but they again
failed to kick goal. Thus the
game ended with the score ten
to nothing.

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

Az Is usually the case the second
night Of any performance or exhibition
Is better than the first. the machinery
runs better and the employees are better
adapted to the position they fill. One
thing which tends to make this exposi-
ton q success is the indefstigabls energy
of Mr.. VIM. O. Dacey, the efficient sec
rotary. He ia alert to everything which
tends to enhance the interests OF the
show aud Is alive to emergencies which
are bound to arise 10 the conduct OF the
exhibition. He is an afable fellow ami
calculated to make friends wherever
he may be placed. Two of the exhibitors
the names of which we're inadvertently
omitted Yesterday were OOrby Bros.
Bakery, one of Alexaudria's institutions,
which is nightly passing out souvenirs
of bread and other good things. The
stand is the first which meets the eye
when the building Is entered. The next
is Ferguson's, to the left OF the above
mentioned, the manager of which ia
congenisl fellow aud the lady assist-
ants are constantly busy handing out hot
sausage. This Is an educational enter
tainment and the entire population
should see it. Without doubt it is the
most novel exhibition ever given in this
city. A good time and lots Of souvenirs
are promised ell who attend tonight.
The Nelson Refrigerator 90. also have
on display 6ne variety of the sizss aud
makes OF their factory; the quality OF
these refrigerators is so well'known that
comment seems unnecessary, yet time Is
