WIS, CONSERVATION
Citizens of the State Must
aid in Great Work by Join
ing the Association.

Oshkosh, March 7.-The Wis
consin State Committee of the
National Conservation Associa-
tion in it's address to the public
calls attention to the conditions
IN Wisconsin. These conditions
reveal the fact that there is a
big field for conservation in this
state. If the work is to be &C
complished there must be an
aroused public opinion to be
followed by wise legislation.
The State Committee must have
the moral and financial assistance
of the public spirited citizens of
Wisconsin to bring this about.
The address says of Wisconsin
conditions:
''Our improved land is depre-
ciating in fertility and it's pro-
ductivity can be doubled.
sour unimproved land is lying
idle and greatly exceeds in ex-
tent our improved land.
"Our potential water power is
well distributed about the state
and is only one-sixth developed.
s''Our developed water power is
enjoying public rights without
adequate public regulation.
Our forests are in danger of
complete destruction by fire,
waste and enforced cutting.
''Our forest reserve is made
quate and we have millions of
acres capable of reforestation.
sour mineral wealth is still
practically intact but in need of
judicious development,
"Onr fish and game are being
exterminated and adequate pro-
lection is necessary.
"Our summer resorts are only
partially appreciated and their
natural beauty is threatened"
Mem berships can be secured
by sending application to G. G.
Cleveland. assistant treasurer,

Washburn Farmers Believe in
Being Up-to-date.
Have Fine Rural Mail Route
and Many are Now Putting
in Telephones.

People coming into the city for
the purpose of looking over the
lands in the vicinity with a view
to purchasing are greatly i'm
pressed with the progress that
is being made by the Washburn
farmers and this is one of the
first things to convince the pros
pective buyer that this will with
in few years be one of the
greatest farming districts of the
state. About the first thing that
they inquire into is the mail
question for all are desirous of
knowing just how they can get
their mail if they should locate.
We find upon investigation that
the route running outof this city
is now about twenty seven miles
in length and that there are over
a hundred and twenty-five fam
lilies being served at the present
time. This is an exceptionally
good showing and considerably
better than most of the routes in
the prairie sections. The busi-
ness along the route is growing
all of the time and it is not alto
gether unlikely but that another
route will be established within
very short time.
One of the next things that is
of great interest to prospective
buyers is the road question.
Bayfield, county is fast building
up good roads and there is at
the present time net work of
roads running out inevery direc-
tion within radius of ten miles
from this city. Then there is
the main lines of roads travers-
ing the entire county. These
roads are all now in good shape
and are being improved every
year. Besides the good work
that is being done by the towns
of the county in this direction,
the county have also taken a
hand and there is levied annual
ly a tax for this purpose.
Telephone lines are also being
built in every direction. There
is now eight lines running out in
to the farming section and these
have all a goodly number of sub
scribers. This is a project that
the farmers are very much in
terested in and they are doing
all they can to further the work.
Good substantial homes are
also being built by many of the
farmers, and with the good
country schools. the farm is now
considered to be the ideal place
for the children. The church
question is also one that is being
solved. One church will be built
next spring out on the Long Lake
road. Other communities are
holding weekly services in the
school houses in the vicinity. It
is hard to find a com munity that
can show moreprogress than we
can right here around Washburn.

In his fight to retain the Office of

In his fight to retain the office of
register of deeds of Marinette
county, for which he was defeated
by Miss Adeline B. Pratt, formerly
his deputy, Emery D. Galineau has
petitioned the circuit court of Mar
inette county for writ of manda-
mus ordering the county board of
canvassers to show cause why they
should not be compelled to recan-
vass the vote and declare Galineau
elected. The petition sets up the
inform alton that. Miss Pratt is a
woman; and that all voters knew
women were ineligible for county
offices, and that, hence, they
knew they were casting their
votes for an ineligible person, and
the votes are illegal. The canvas
sing board certified the election of
Miss Pratt, and has now been cited
to appear before the court on
at Green Bay. Miss Pratt, it is
said, will not give up the fight for
the office unless she is declared in
eligible by the supreme court of the
state.

"A pow Iul lCdICQ argument
took place on Main street Friday
over the question of right-of-way on
country roads. A local chauffeur
and a farmer lad were the debators,
the cause for action" having arose
earlier in the week, when the latter
blocked the road with hay rack,
which, by the way, is very effec-
tive method, and refused to allow
the autoist to pass. The bystand-
ers unanimously lowed as how the
chauffeur won his point, but not,

the argument Most farmers i'll

in the matter of road courtesy and
the local automobile drivers are
also very careful in this matter.
