Party of St. Paul Business
Men Purchase Land.
Expect to Clear Land at Once
and Plant Commercial
Orchard.

A party of business men from
st. Paul recently purchased a
large tract of land MOI tn Of the
city and within a few weeks will
begin the work of clearing the
same and planting the entire
tract to fruit trees. These men
became interested some time ago
in the future of the Washburn
district as a fruit center after
having looked up other places,
and decided that none could com
pare with the region around
Chequamegon bay. Here they
find the climate conditions about
right with no danger of the early
frosts. The st. Paul people will
plant apples, cherries and plums
almost altogether.

Chequamegon bay made re-
cord for herself this year and
one that will undoubtedly stand
for some time before it is beaten.
Before a strong west wind last
Thursday afternoon the ice went
out of the bay and navigation
was declared open. Only once
before, and that was before there
was any town where Washburn
now stands. did the ice go out of
the bay earlier than it did this
year. That was along in the
fifties and so long ago that it had
almost been forgotten. Below
we give the dates of the opening
OF navigation for the past sixteen

Special Inducements to New Subscribers.
MAY HAVE NO ICE
Ice Company has no one to
Manage the Busi-
ness.

Washburn may have an ice
famine during the ensuing year.
Despite all efforts, no one can be
found who is willing to take over
the property of the Company
and manage it. During the past
six years the company has regu-
larly leased the entire outfit by
the year, receiving about 100000
per year for the benefit of the
stockholders. This has been
sufficient to pay the stockholders
from ten to fifteen per cent on
the stock held. While this ar
rangement has been very salts
factory to the stockholders the
Manager has each year lost
money. The principal reason
given is that the price of ice as
charged in this city is entirely
too low as compared with prices
elsewhere. The Company, be-
ing unable to find anyone who is
willing to take the responsibility
of the management: has decided
to close up the ice house for the
present. VIM. Olson who has
considerable ice left from last
year, will continue to sell it. 1t
is certain that the price will be
raised considerable so that there
will be no loss to anyone.

regular business at the usual
hour on Easter Sunday. The
