Coal is Coming

Work at the Northwestern
Fuel Company in this city has
been unusually brisk during the
past three or four weeks and
there has been boats at the dock
most of the time discharging
large cargos of coal. The busl-
ness at this point this season
promises to be unusually brisk
and the boats will continue to
keep coming until the large docks
are completely filed. The docks
were about cleaned up this
spring SO that larger amount
of coal can be handled this season
than last. A large crew of men
are given almost steady employ
ment at the docks.

The citizens of this city we're
given a taste of the operation of
blue laws last Sunday which will
long be remembered. Every
business place in the city with
the exception of G. L. Willey's
livery stable was closed from
midnight on Saturday evening
until midnight Sunday night.
Mr.. Wiley tempted fate and
kept his place of business open.
Two special policemen were
sworn in to help enforce the
order of the mayor. There was
evidently no occasion for the
additional officers for no one
attempted to violate the mayor S
orders. Whether or not the
order will be enforced next Sun
day remains to be seen. A
large number of petitions are
in circulation which will be pre-
sented to the mayor and council
asking that the order be modified
or abandoned. The petitions
are being generally signed and
will contain the names of large
mum Der of people.

A statement by The Civic League
of Washburn.
We wish to call attention to the
fact that there is a law covering the
tranaction of legitimate lines OF busi-
ress on Sunday and another cover
irg the sale of liquor on Sunday-it
applys to saloons alone and to no one
else. 1t reads as follows:
IT any tavern keeper or other per-
son shall SELL. give away or barter.
any intoxicating. liescrs on the first.
day OF the week, commonly called
Sunday. or on the day of the annual
town meeting or the biennial fall
election such tavern keeper or other
person so offending shall be punished
by fine of no.. less than FIVE nor
more than twenty five dollars or by
imprison nent in the county jail not
to exceed thirty days, or by both
such fine and imprisonment Sec
tion 1864.
The reason for presenting the petit
tion was the fact that it is common
ly reported and gener lilly understood
that there is an understanding be-
tween the state and city authorities
and the saloons whereby the saloons
are permitted to systematicly violate
the state law by keeping open from
Sunday noon the rest of the day.
AS matter of fact this was so
stated by an attorney in open court
in one of the cases of the state
against Latz Bros. @
A committee of the Civic League
interviewed our Mayor as to rem
edy to the matter and he suggested
that a petition might fx4tt things
right. The League not wishing to
work any snap game presented the
petition as suggested hoping there
by to enlist the city authority ar d
at the same time TO give the saloons
time to adjust themselves to new
conditions.
The petition reads as follows:
Whereas the Saloons in the. city of
Washburn, Wisconsin are allowed in
violation of the law To remain open
and do business after IL o'clock
noon on Sunday; Therefore. we the
undersigned citizens of the city OF
Wadhburn, Wisconsin hereby petit
tion the Common council of the city
'Vashburn, Wisconsin to declare
itself by vote of its me nbers
in favor of the policy of the enforce
ment of the laws of the State ol
Wisconsin with reference. Ito the
Saloons in operation on Sunday
Such policy to take place not later
than the date. upon which the
lincenses for 1910 are issued.
We did not mention the law that
refers to the legitimate lines of bust.
ness. We want to state that we ds
not sympathise with the action
taken last Sunday in closing all line:
of business so suddenly. We believe
tina. if it was thought best by tht
city fathers to take such action
more time should have been giver
our business men to adjust them
selves to the new condition of things
| We still believe and maintain thai
the Sunday closing law section 1865
as above quoted should be enforced
and shall do all in our power tt
bring about such a condition after
the new licenses are issued.
Issued by order of the Civic
League.

Joseph Feldmeier of Bayfield,
has the System
Demonstrated to a Washburn
Party What his Machine
Could do.

On tuesday aIC6rGOOn parry
composed of William Olson,
Marion Hull, Fl. Fl. Peavey, L. d.
Goodnough, and Will Robinson
went to Bayfield, in Mr.. Peavey's
touring car for the purpose of wit
Messing the work done by the
stump puller on the Joseph Field
meier farm, six miles northeast t
of Bayfield,. Mr.. Feldmeier has
44O acres of land and the stump
pulling question was one that
had given him considerable
worry until a year ago when he
purchased from the Clyde Iron
Works of Duluth machine that
the company guaranteed would
pull the stumps. After thor
ough test Mr.. Feldmeier pur-
chased the machine and he now
considers it one of the best pur-
chases he has ever made. He de-
monstrated that he could handle
the stumps better with this ma.
chine than has ever been done in
the past. The machine consists
of a sixty horse power steam
engine and two cable drums. 1t
takes from three to four men to
operate the machine successful
ly so that it can been seen the
labor item is small one consid-
ering the large amount of land
that can be cleared in a day.
The Feldmeier farm is covered
with stumps and one looking at
it would wonder how it could be
cleared for less than SIS per
acre, but Mr.. Feldmeier inform
ed us all that he had cleared
thus far had been done at the
rate of about IS per acre, and
some at even less. The heavy
cable is used for starting the
stumps and the smaller one for
pulling them in and piling them
in piles. 1t was stated that
there was hardly a stump but
what the machine could pull. but
that in cases where the stumps
were unusually large it was
better to use a small portion OF
dynamite3in order to save the
cable. The machine is moved by
it's own power and after it is set
stumps can be pulled from any
direction within five hundred
feet of the machine. so that
aboat four acres can be cleared
to every time the machine is
moved. The stumps and logs
are assemb bled in large piles with
the machine and after having
dried out for about two weeks are
burned. Mr.. Feldmeier stated
that any land, no matter how
many stumps there is upon it,
can be cleared for from $5 to $2C
per acre.
On ordinary land where the
logs have been rolled up and the
brush taken off about two acres
of land can be cleared in a day
The party watched the work OF
the machine for about an hour
and during that time there was
| not stu mp that was taken hold
of but what could be pulled. AS
many as two ordinary sized
stumps were taken at time
The machine is a wonder anC
will solve the question of clear
| ing the cut over lands of north
lern Wisconsin.
